i want to marry a princess

In the middle of the night, Guo Chan returned to the Xuanpinghou Mansion.

She glanced at the still bright room, then turned to the main courtyard with a sudden step.

In the main courtyard, except for the candlelight in the side room, the rest of the lights have been turned off.

Guo Chan thought for a while and walked into the side room. The nanny was up in the middle of the night and was breastfeeding. She didn't expect someone to come at this time, so she was shocked.After seeing it clearly, the man calmed down, hugged Guo Yao and bowed, "I have seen the princess."

Guo Chan gave her a hand, "There is no need to be polite."

After a pause, she looked at Guo Yao who was in the nurse's arms. He was no longer as wrinkled as he was when he was born. His eyes were squinted, and he looked really comfortable.

She stretched out her hand to touch Guo Yao's cheek, and she felt that this was her younger brother.

Seeing this, the nanny said: "Princess, the young master ate well and slept well, and his body is strong."

Guo Chan nodded, "Thank you."

"Don't dare. This is what slaves should do."

Guo Yao is in good health, both his parents and grandfather will be very happy.She suddenly thought of Guo Zhao, and hoped that his spirit in heaven would also rest in peace.

There was a sound of footsteps, it turned out that the eldest princess woke up and worried to see Guo Yao, but she didn't expect Guo Chan to be here.

Her daughter, who is talented and beautiful, has always been the pride of her heart.No matter what, she was not willing to let this apple of the eye suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

At this time, Guo Chan also found the eldest princess, "Mother."

"Yeah." The eldest princess looked at the nanny, "How is Yao'er?"

The nanny replied: "Your Highness, everything is fine, young master."

"That's good, you take care of me." After saying that, she glanced at Guo Chan, then turned around and entered the room again.

Guo Chan pursed her lips slightly, and stepped up to follow in.

The eldest princess knew Guo Chan's purpose for coming here, and her stubborn temper was exactly like her father's.

The eldest princess said bluntly: "I know what you think, and I also know that even if I stop you, you will not obey my arrangement."

Hearing this, Guo Chan raised her head slightly, but did not speak.

The eldest princess continued: "But have you ever thought about Suyi's child like this? She is Ren Suyi, not Lu Jinyan. Is it fair to that child to hide her identity and be the shadow behind you for the rest of her life?"

After Guo Chan left, Mammy opened the door and came in.

"Your Highness, the princess's expression was not quite right when she went out."

The eldest princess sighed, and said: "They should always ask their own hearts, so that there is no room for regret in the future."

On the way back to the courtyard, there were only a few servants from Liao Liao's mansion watching the night.

Passing by the long pavilion in front of the yard, Guo Chan stopped for no reason.As the winter progressed, it became colder and colder. She shook her arms, and the words of the eldest princess echoed in her mind over and over again.

She knows that all this is unfair to Ren Suyi or Lu Jinyan, but she also hopes to selfishly keep the one she loves by her side.

In the past, she might be able to accept Lu Jinyan leaving her, but now she is really unwilling to let her go with her own hands.

"Princess." Dongqing appeared in front of Guo Chan, "Master Jun has been waiting for you."

Guo Chan let out a breath, and immediately turned into a cloud of fog in front of her.

Dongqing saw the panic in her heart, thought for a while, and persuaded: "If the princess has something unpredictable, it is better to discuss it with the county matriarch. This servant thinks, with the strength of the two of you, we will definitely be able to solve it!" Guo Chan listened Yes, but shook his head helplessly.

How could she discuss such a matter with Lu Jinyan.

"Holly, do you think it's selfish for me to let her pretend to be Lu Jinyan by my side?"

Dongqing was taken aback, it turned out that the princess was concerned about this issue.

"But my servant remembers that the birth of Lu Jinyan was facilitated by the county matriarch, and he personally asked the emperor to marry you two." Dongqing paused, "So, this servant thinks this is not selfish. It’s a question of whether or not, but a question of willingness.”

"Is that so?..."

Guo Chan tilted her head, her expression unclear.

In fact, Dongqing knew in her heart that the princess understood everything, but she was afraid that the other party would have an unsatisfactory life because she cared too much.

Lu Jinyan got the news since Guo Chan entered the mansion, and waited patiently after knowing that she had gone to the main courtyard, but he didn't see her back for a long time. Thinking of the situation when the eldest princess gave birth that day, he couldn't help but feel worried, so he asked someone to prepare a lantern and go out to find her in person .

No, just after leaving the gate, I saw a familiar figure standing in the middle of the pavilion at the entrance of the courtyard.

"A-chan?"

Hearing the sound, Guo Chan woke up with a start, turned around hurriedly and saw Lu Jinyan fully dressed, knowing that she came out to find her.

After confirming that it was Guo Chan, Lu Jinyan frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Why don't you come into the yard when you arrive, it's cold outside, you are so careless, how can I rest assured?!"

Guo Chan pursed her lips, and automatically admitted her mistake, "I forgot for a while, don't be angry, and besides, don't you know my body? It's rare to have a cold."

Lu Jinyan didn't like this, he frowned, his face turned cold, and he said flatly: "Your words seem to be superfluous to my concern, and I won't just ask in the future."

Guo Chan saw it, and immediately took a few steps forward to grab Lu Jinyan's hand, "I think that's what I mean, Jinyan, I will not be like this in the future."

Hearing this, Guo Chan calmed down.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Guo Chan was here late at night for no reason, and she could guess some of the reasons, but some things couldn't be resolved in a moment.

Lu Jinyan held her back and sighed: "Go back to the house, I have someone prepare bird's nest porridge, and I can use some of it."

Guo Chan nodded and followed her footsteps.

"I'll get the lantern."

Lu Jinyan handed it over to her as promised.

"Today I went to see brother Yao, he is very cute."

Thinking of the little baby she saw just now, Guo Chan couldn't help nodding, "Well, I heard from the nanny that this little baby is very edible, and my parents must be very happy."

Seeing the smile in the corner of her eyes, Lu Jinyan said casually, "What about you, Ah-chan, do you want such a cute child?"

Guo Chan was startled, and then said: "I don't want it, Guo Yao is my younger brother, so I have a certain preference for him."

After a while, Guo Chan asked her, "What about you?"

Lu Jinyan stopped, looked at her, and said with a smile, "Aren't you right?"

Guo Chan froze, her eyes could only see one person in front of her.

Suddenly, flakes of snow fell.

Lu Jinyan raised his head and caught the snowflakes with his hands, feeling cold in his palms.

"Achan, it's snowing. Let's go to Tianling Mountain to enjoy the snow in a few days."

Guo Chan recalled the past, when Lu Jinyan was still Ren Suyi, that beautiful but quiet girl.

On Tianling Mountain, I saw her tears, her tenderness, and her kindness.

Perhaps from that moment on, they were inseparable from each other.

Guo Chan smiled slightly, and lightly touched her forehead, "Okay, then I will take you to see the snow."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk forward hand in hand, in the dark night and white snow, infinite warmth.

Dongqing silently followed behind, showing a comfortable smile.

The doubts in her heart dissipated, and Guo Chan was in a very good mood. She remembered what happened today, and said to Lu Jinyan, "You know, something unexpected happened in the palace today."

"Wen Qing and Ling Jieyu turned out to be old acquaintances."

After Guo Chan finished speaking, she went to look at Lu Jinyan, but found that Lu Jinyan's expression was normal, "You know?!"

Lu Jinyan smiled, "It's just a guess. There was a time when Nian Di slipped her mouth, and she didn't mean to reveal that Dr. Wen often inquired about the nobles in the palace."

"Then how did you guess it was Ling Jieyu?"

"One is the accent, both of them have a unique southern accent, and the other is...have you forgotten the name of Dr. Wen's clinic?"

Guo Chan blinked and suddenly realized.

"Why didn't I think of it earlier!"

Ling thatched cottage.

Unfortunately, there is a word "acting".

Lu Jinyan said: "I just have an intuition that Dr. Wen came to Beijing for someone, and with Nian Di's words, I have a guess, but it's just a guess. I didn't expect such a coincidence today that you found out."

Thinking of the way Wen Qing saw Ling Jieyu's eyes, Guo Chan said, "Wen Qing is probably another infatuated person."

Lu Jinyan can understand this. Since he can run away from home for the sake of running away from relatives alone, such feelings are naturally not casual.

"It's a pity that they are now..." Lu Jinyan sighed, the meaning of which is self-evident, their identities are different, I don't know if it is good or bad for them to meet at this time.

A gleam flashed in Guo Chan's eyes, and she said meaningfully: "Wen Qing told me that Ling Jieyu is pregnant."

Lu Jinyan was also very surprised to know the news, but it was undoubtedly good news for Sima Yi or the entire royal family.Thinking of what happened before, she was a little worried again: "Ling Jieyu's safety..."

Guo Chan knew her worry, and slowly said: "Cousin has sent someone to secretly protect Ling Jieyu, and the news of Ling Jieyu's pregnancy is only known to you and me, so it's safe for the time being."

Hearing this, Lu Jinyan said after a while, "Maybe this is also an opportunity."

Guo Chan was startled, "You mean..."

Lu Jinyan showed a smile, and the two had a tacit understanding.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Guo Chan kept all information about Ling Jieyu from the outside world, and let Wen Qing live in the palace to take care of Ling Jieyu.

During the days when Wen Qing was detoxifying Ling Jieyu and taking care of her body, the gates of the Ruyang Palace were still closed and no visitors were seen. It took many days for everyone in Beijing to find out that they could not enter the Ruyang Palace, nor did they see the Ruyang Palace. people go out.Everyone thought of the edict of guilt a few days ago, and only now did they realize that there may be a lot of mystery in it.In particular, rumors suddenly spread in Beijing that the murderer behind the murder of the emperor's heir was Ruyang King Sima He, which made all the ministers who had made friends with the Ruyang Palace feel in danger, fearing that someone who was not so good as the emperor would regard them as Ruyang. The accomplice of Prince Yang's Mansion.

Everyone gradually saw some ways, no matter whether the edict of guilt is true or not, there is no doubt that the deep enmity between the emperor and the Ruyang Palace cannot be reconciled, the two must not coexist one day, but at this time it is still the one who holds the power of life and death. There was no need for Sima Yi and the others to lose their lives for a father who might become the emperor in the future.

Because no matter who is the emperor, their officials are still proper, and at this time, saving their lives is the best policy.

So slowly, the front of Ruyang Prince's Mansion gradually became deserted, even the stone lion at the gate was covered with a thick layer of dust, and no one wiped it off. I don't know the situation, I thought it was a mansion that had fallen.

However, the days went on so peacefully, but everyone understood that this was just an illusion in front of them, and one day everything would come to a conclusion.

Finally, one day, the palace dungeon flooded, and the palace fell into chaos.

It was not until the fire was extinguished that the guards in the dungeon discovered that the prisoners in the dungeon had disappeared.

In a farm on the outskirts of the capital, Zhao Laiyi was dressed in ragged clothes and a shabby padded jacket. There was a table of delicacies in front of her, but she was unmoved at all.Even after being imprisoned for several months, I don't know what is delicious.

I don't know how long it took, and finally there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Zhao Laiyi curled her lips slightly, stood up and faced the door.

"Squeak"——

The door opened, and Sima He appeared in front of Zhao Laiyi in brocade clothes and jade robes.Behind him was Ling Pingzhi and his son Ling Qi, who had been hiding in the capital with Sima He since the last incident.

Zhao Laiyi stepped forward with great poise, although she looked embarrassed at this moment, her expression was still arrogant.

"I thought the famous King Ruyang wouldn't see me."

Faced with Zhao Laiyi's approach, King Ruyang smelled an unpleasant smell, he frowned, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhaoyi is too impatient, she just escaped from the dungeon, she should wash up after eating Let’s discuss the big things.”

Anyone who has been imprisoned for several months without washing will have a smell, but Zhao Laiyi has been imprisoned for so long that she ignores the smell on her body, but when has she experienced such humiliation, and she has such a meaning in front of Sima He? Then his face changed again and again, and he finally regained his composure.

"If it wasn't for our people to rescue me, how would I know that the eldest prince was captured by Sima Yi's men, and there is no news yet!" Zhao Laiyi stared at Sima He fiercely, and said angrily: "The cooperation that was agreed at the beginning, But Ruyang Wang, if you don't pay attention to the eldest prince, it's too much to tear down the bridge!"

King Ruyang didn't feel ashamed at all because of Zhao Laiyi's scolding. Instead, he said with a smile, "Ms. Zhaoyi doesn't know something. During these days when you were imprisoned, this king has been trying to rescue you two, but it's very helpless. Sima Yi is too cunning, and the place where the eldest prince is imprisoned has not yet been found out. However, fortunately, Lady Zhaoyi has escaped the sea of ​​suffering, and our plan can continue."

"Really? If it wasn't for the fact that the eldest prince has contacts in the capital, how could I be here? Also, I am no longer Sima Yi's concubine, so I don't need to say "Ms. Zhaoyi." Zhao Laiyi would not believe Sima He's words, If Sima He had the heart, how could he not find out.They originally joined forces for different camps and for temporary purposes, and naturally parted ways when there was danger.

Sima He smiled and said nothing, he did not find out where Sai Lu was being held, but he also did not intend to rescue them.Sima Yi's one-handed sin against himself really made his situation difficult. Several vassal kings knew that he was manipulating everything behind their backs and chose to sit on the sidelines, planning to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Return home without launching an invasion.

The good situation was easily resolved by Sima Yi, how could he not be angry? !

But he can wait, he will be full of children in the future, but Sima Yi is just a loner after all!As for that Zhang's daughter, she was just destined to live an ordinary life outside the palace.

"Miss Zhao, don't worry, the eldest prince is not in danger at this time. The most important thing right now is the Turkic army. When things are done, the eldest prince will be rescued safely."

Looking at Sima He's complacent look, Zhao Laiyi sneered in his heart, and said slowly, "I came to you today because I actually have something else to tell you."

"Ling Jieyu in the palace is already pregnant."

Sima He's pupils shrank, "How come, didn't the eldest prince say that your Turkic medicines are safe?!"

Zhao Laiyi looked helpless, and sighed: "Perhaps the eldest prince is too confident. There is no surefire medicine in this world. Besides, Ling Jieyu was favored by Sima Yi when he was poisoned. The poison was not strong at that time. It is not impossible for such an accident to happen. .”

Sima He looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "How did you know this news? It stands to reason that such news will not be easily known to others."

After experiencing the previous events, he did not believe that Sima Yi would still be defenseless.

Zhao Laiyi calmly said: "I got the news from the last eyeliner I planted in the palace. Two months ago, Guo Chan invited Dr. Wen from Lingcaotang into the palace. He originally wanted to detoxify Sima Yi, but he didn't want to find Lingjie. Yu is pregnant."

Sima Yi detoxified and discovered that Ling Jieyu was pregnant?

Zhao Laiyi snorted, knowing that they didn't understand the connection between the two, and explained: "The eldest prince never told you, so it's no wonder you don't know. After being poisoned by the ice heart grass, people who have sex with him will also be poisoned. And the toxicity was the most severe when the poison occurred, so Ling Jieyu was also poisoned at that time, which made them discover Ling Jieyu's pregnancy by accident."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people present became serious, Ling Pingzhi said: "If that doctor can detoxify, wouldn't Sima Yi also return to normal?"

Zhao Laiyi also looked at him like an idiot, "Sima Yi's body is seriously injured. I don't believe that Dr. Wen can cure him. But for Ling Jieyu and the child in her belly, I guess she must find a way to save him." down."

Sima He secretly gritted his teeth, Sima Yi can survive such a desperate situation, how unfair the heavens are!He glanced at Ling Ping calmly.

"I'll send Qi'er to investigate immediately!"

Ling Qi was startled, and only replied yes after a while.

Zhao Laiyi looked at Ling Qi's hastily leaving figure and said, "Now that Sima Yi has an heir, whether male or female, I'm afraid this child will be promoted to the position of crown prince. After all, he will never really hand over the throne to others. Therefore, the prince should have made a plan early, otherwise all the things we did before will fall short, and Sima Yi will become the final winner, just like his father."

Sima He's Danfeng eyes were full of anger. He can't be the last loser, he will definitely be the winner!

Ling Pingzhi took a look at Zhao Laiyi, and said in a deep voice: "We should wait until we find out everything before considering it. Pull your whole body into motion, and don't be impulsive."

Sima He took a deep breath, "The teacher said so."

Zhao Laiyi lowered her head slightly, covering the look in her eyes, "I leave everything to the prince to decide, I hope the eldest prince can be rescued as soon as possible."

Sima He gave a "hmm", but he didn't know whether to agree or refuse.
