A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Chapter 125 Backer
When Leng Lanzhi arrived at the prince's residence, the prince had already entered the palace and had not returned yet.

Leng Lanzhi guessed that his father should also discuss with the prince about cooling down the temperature this year.

Although they had all made guesses and taken preventive measures before, no one dared to take it lightly when the natural disaster actually came.

She originally wanted to follow him into the palace to have a look, but the princess insisted on keeping her for breakfast.

Liusha also took the opportunity to persuade: "Princess, the imperial doctor said that you must eat on time and maintain a regular work and rest, otherwise you may have a headache at any time."

Leng Lanzhi was silent for a moment and then agreed.

The breakfast in the prince's mansion is naturally very rich, but the princess doesn't seem to have much appetite, so Leng Lanzhi couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, sister-in-law? Is it not to your appetite?"

The crown princess shook her head and smiled wryly: "I haven't had any appetite since I got pregnant."

Although Leng Lanzhi has never given birth, she knows that women will lose their appetite due to morning sickness in the first three months of pregnancy.

Some of the reactions were serious, and they might even vomit throughout the pregnancy. She frowned: "Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

The princess said: "This is a normal reaction, not to mention that you can't take too much medicine during pregnancy. I guess it will be fine after a while."

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she looked at Leng Lanzhi seriously: "Little sister, I apologize on behalf of my stepmother for missing you."

A few days ago, her stepmother came to her and asked her to help connect Leng Lanzhi and her stepbrother.

Not to mention that her relationship with her stepmother and stepbrothers and stepsisters is not good, even if she is really close to them as a family, it is impossible to push her sister-in-law into the fire pit.

You know, her stepbrother is a fool!

In fact, she had no idea that her stepmother would come to block Leng Lanzhi that day, so she did not prepare in advance, and she did not expect that her stepmother would play tricks with her——

The stepmother herself came to her and detained her, and asked her to take her idiot brother to the garden to find the princess.

If her maid hadn't been smart and sincere enough to discover the clues in time and protect her sister-in-law, the situation would have been irreversible.

In the past two days, whenever she thought of that result, she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Leng Lanzhi sighed: "Sister-in-law is not to blame for this matter. You don't need to apologize. There is someone else who should apologize."

Strictly speaking, the sister-in-law is also a victim.

If you want to blame, blame those who have made the wrong idea!
After breakfast, Leng Lanzhi reckoned that the prince should also come out of the palace, but she waited and waited for the prince to return home for dinner.

The crown prince said with a sense of loss: "The prince is very busy these days, he leaves early and returns late every day. Not only is breakfast too late to eat at home, even dinner is too late."

Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.

But thinking about the current situation in the city, she understood: "Sister-in-law, have a good rest. I'll go take a look."

The princess said: "Then help me bring some food to your brother."

Leng Lanzhi was helpless: "Sister-in-law, Brother Huang is an adult, he won't starve himself! But you, it's cold outside, sister-in-law must take care of yourself and don't get sick,"

Having said that, Leng Lanzhi still brought the food box packed by the Crown Princess herself.

The food box contained hot steamed dumplings, two plates of pastries, and a small cup of steaming soup.

There is a charcoal fire in the carriage. When you arrive at the place, if the soup is cold, you can heat it up in time.

At that time, the prince was taking the lead in counting the disaster situation in the city.

Although he encouraged the people in the city to prepare charcoal fires in advance, and many people listened to the persuasion, quite a few of them felt that it was still early, and it would not be too late to prepare later.

Many people even think that the imperial court is not enough to collect their taxes, and now they think of this alarmist method of selling charcoal to fool them and take away the money in their pockets.

As a result, the temperature cooled down this night, and some people who were not prepared froze to death.

Leng Lanzhi's chariot was walking on the street, and he heard mournful cries coming from many people's homes.

And outside all the medical centers in the city, there were long queues.

She frowned.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in an alley, Liusha said: "Princess, His Royal Highness is in front!"

Leng Lan got out of the car and walked towards the prince with the food box.

She was wearing a fiery red cloak, very conspicuous, and the prince and his party soon spotted her, and the prince greeted her: "little sister, why are you here?"

Out of the corner of Leng Lanzhi's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure walking into a common people's home: "I woke up and saw that it was snowing, so I came over to have a look." Then asked: "How is the situation?"

The prince sighed: "Many people didn't listen to the persuasion. Dozens of people froze to death this morning, and there are not a few people who suffer from frostbite."

Leng Lanzhi frowned: "How is the situation outside the city?"

"The people who went to collect statistics outside the city haven't come back yet, so it's not clear yet. But..." The prince was worried: "This is the case in the city, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult outside the city."

Immediately said: "However, this result is already very good. If you hadn't thought about the long-term, we had made arrangements in advance, and the situation in the city would have been even more dire."

In fact, many of those people who died of freezing or were sick due to frostbite were those who had stockpiled charcoal in advance under the persuasion of the court. Take care, I think I can make it through.

As a result, they lost the bet.

As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, people like them can't be blamed for this kind of thing.

Leng Lanzhi said: "I estimate that many merchants should have hoarded charcoal, just waiting for the natural disaster to make a fortune. The most urgent task now is to control the price of charcoal fire, so as not to let some profiteers sit on the ground and make a disaster fortune. "

The prince said: "Don't worry, I know."

Seeing that Leng Lanzhi's little face was pale from the cold, the prince gathered her cloak and said, "You are not in good health. Go back to your home. Just leave it to me."

The moment the prince approached, Leng Lanzhi seemed to smell a faint sweet aroma.

Just as a gust of wind blew, the smell disappeared. At this time, the prince opened the food box again, revealing the rich aroma of food inside.

"I've already eaten just now, but let's put this food box first. If I can't go back at noon, I just eat the food inside."

With that said, he closed the lid again.

Leng Lanzhi calmly took two more deep breaths, but still couldn't smell the smell just now, only the smell of ambergris on the prince's body mixed with the aroma of food.

It seems that she was too nervous during this time, so she smelled it wrong.

When the carriage returned, it passed a courtyard where people were queuing up, and the long line completely blocked the street.

Liusha was about to send people to chase them away, but Leng Lanzhi remembered the current situation in the city, and worried that there was a medical clinic inside, so she stopped her: "Forget it, let's take a detour, don't disturb people's medical treatment."

At this time, a roar came from the yard: "Yesterday I paid four coppers per pound of charcoal, but today it's ten coppers? Are you trying to steal money?!"

"If you can't afford it, get out! Don't delay others from buying it, you're poor!" The two strong men said disdainfully.

"You! You are driving up prices, aren't you afraid that the Yamen will come after you?"

"Dare the Yamen take care of us?" One of the strong men sneered: "Our backer is the Pingnan Marquis Mansion!"

Leng Lanzhi stopped the carriage: "Wait!"
