Splendid spring returns

"What did you say? My aunt moved away? When did it happen?"

Mentioning this, Aunt Gu was also filled with anger and said bitterly: "On the night when the thieves entered the house, early the next morning, she took her daughters and girls and moved out. At that time, the house was in chaos. No, the ancestors were frightened again. Aunt Qin and I couldn't afford to take the lead. It was her time to help, but in the end she didn't even go to see the ancestors of Shouning Palace. She only left a message and moved away. gone."

"Previously, when the palace was in glory, she refused to leave, but now she is moving faster than a mouse. What is it but running away? She is not necessarily rude, she just has no face to see her ancestors..."

Aunt Qin also echoed angrily.Xin Nian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly sneered and said lightly: "Haha! I thought she was a hero among women, but I didn't expect that she could be so restless. Well, now that she has moved away, it saves her worries."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard chirping outside the door, but it was the children who all ran over when they heard that she was awake.

**********************
"Your Highness, the emperor's illness comes back and forth. He is sometimes comatose and sometimes awake, and he vomits a few mouthfuls of blood from time to time. Logically speaking... he should have been sick... but how can he persist until now?"

"It's not like the old man has a serious illness. It's only been a month. Why are you anxious? But has the hole been opened in the prison? Let's see what's going on with Gu Changting?"

"The Heavenly Prison in the Zongren Mansion is guarded by the Emperor's confidants, and it is really difficult to bribe them. Thanks to the Emperor being seriously ill these days, those people finally want to sell favors to His Highness, so I got some information. Even if they say that they are not punished, they are not. I'm not hungry, but the prince is in a very bad mood. He keeps shouting to see the emperor every day. When he heard that the emperor is seriously ill, he would cry and laugh sometimes, as if he was crazy."

Tan Feng reported the truth to the prince, but saw his expression relaxed, leaning back, and said with a smile: "That's all, my father is in such a condition, we don't know when we can bring him to trial, so let him stay in the prison." Bar."

Tan Feng said cautiously: "Speaking of which, the emperor's worsening condition this time is probably related to the previous thief in Prince Duan's Mansion. Alas! It can be seen that he still cares for Gu Changting very much in his heart. If his condition gets better, I really don't know what will happen. result."

"To this day, the outcome of my father's illness is no longer important. Unless Daluo Jinxian descends to earth and cures his illness, the country of Great Xia will soon be in my hands."

Having said this, the prince couldn't help but smile knowingly and said calmly: "In this way, arranging for thieves to attack the prince's palace at night, apart from testing, there are also unexpected gains. This night attack is the old man's life-saving talisman. "

Tan Feng smiled and said nothing, and after a moment he said: "What a pity, now that the palace is protected by the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, we will never have such an opportunity again."

The prince frowned and said displeased: "Then what's going on with the Xin family? She has betrayed Gu Changting. It can be said that she was responsible for today's disaster in Duanqin's palace. Why is she still sparing no effort to protect the palace? You just Don’t you ask her?”

Tan Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Xin has been like this since she was a child. She betrayed Gu Changting just because she didn't love the other party, and the other party forced her. But now Gu Changting is imprisoned in the sky prison, and most of the people in the prince's palace are old and weak. Women and children, she will not allow bandits to cause harm. But I didn’t expect that after so many years, her kung fu has improved a little, and she was able to defend the palace with the help of the guards. This is an oversight on my part.”

"That's all." The prince waved his hand: "This is nothing. When I ascend the throne in the future, a palace will not be flat and round. The Xin family is also stubborn and does not want to think about whether this palace will inherit the throne in the future. , Can Gu Changting still live? Until then, if I let my cousin go back in glory and let my eldest nephew become a county prince, how can she still have a foothold in the palace? What are you working so hard for now? "

Tan Feng nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, I hope this day comes soon."************************
In the blink of an eye, spring has returned to the earth, and the branches in Duanwang Mansion are full of flowers, creating a bright and vibrant spring scene.

Xin Nian sat on the chair, slowly flipping through the account books with her slender fingers. In front of her, there were several housekeepers and ladies standing with their hands down, but they were silent.

"Why does Grandma Rong only have ten taels of silver behind her?"

Hearing Xin Nian's question, a daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Our family's rule is that when a low-class slave dies, he is buried with three taels of silver. Now that she was killed by bandits as a warning, it has been more than doubled. , quite a few.”

Xin Nian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Although she is just a low-class woman, she is very loyal and brave. I will add another ten taels for a total of 20 taels and give them to her family so that they can bury her properly. I remember she had a My son is usually diligent and reliable. When he is promoted, he will first help the house manager, and when he has gained enough experience, he will be made a housekeeper."

"Yes."

The daughter-in-law agreed and said with a smile: "If Aunt Rong knew that she would be so glorious after her death, she would kowtow to my aunt in the underworld."

Xin Nian shook his head and sighed: "That is a life. No matter how you make up for it after death, the lamp will eventually go out after death."

Seeing how sad she was, the daughter-in-law was both surprised and emotional. She did not dare to say anything more and retreated into the crowd.After Xin Nian finished handling one thing after another, he suddenly heard Xinghua beside him say: "Auntie, it's been more than an hour before you know it. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you should take a rest."

Xin Nian smiled bitterly and said: "Don't tell me, it's just because I lost too much blood. I feel a little dizzy now. I was never so delicate before."

The wives were all busy and left. Xinghua helped Xin Nian back to the outside of the bedroom. Suddenly someone outside said that Du Sanniang was here. Then the door curtain opened and Du Sanniang walked in carrying a food box and said with a smile: "I I stewed the fish maw and red date milk myself, and my aunt drank it while it was still hot. This is the best way to nourish qi and blood."

Xin Nian smiled and said, "I was just thinking about a bowl of hot sweet soup, so I can't be considerate of you."

Xinghua hurriedly filled a bowl for her, and Xin Nian drank it slowly while asking Du Sanniang: "How are the servants in the house these two days? Are they still as deserted as before?"

Du Sanniang said: "I watched with cold eyes. If people's hearts are floating, I'm afraid this won't be able to calm them down for a while, unless the prince returns safely. But with the remaining power of my aunt's previous killing of the gangster, the fifth prince was transferred to the suburbs of Beijing. The officers and soldiers of the camp protect the palace. Finally, they don’t dare to be lazy and neglect it. Didn’t my aunt find out? Now, although the palace has not returned to the past, it is still in order. "

Xin Nian nodded, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and murmured: "I don't know how long this day will last? Does it have an end? But probably... the most difficult thing is just like this."
