Alluring City

Since that day, she and her elder brother have been imprisoned in Jinxiu Palace, not to mention going back to Lan's house, they are not even allowed to leave the palace, how could she still feel nothing.

The smile on Lan Shenglian's face froze instantly, but he forgot that although Cheng'er had never been out of Lan's house before coming to Jiangning City, although she had little experience, she was also very smart.

"Cheng'er, don't think too much, don't you believe that brother can handle this matter well?" Lan Shenglian said softly.

With his ability, it would be very easy to quietly take Cheng'er out of the palace, but he couldn't do it.

Once he really took Cheng'er away, the Lan family and the Tianchen royal family would be officially torn apart, which he didn't want to see.

Moreover, the current situation does not allow him to do so!

Yan Beichen, the seventh prince who has the most hope of becoming the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, but Yan Beichen and Prince Xun are close friends, if Lan's family goes to join Yan Kingdom, they will inevitably end up ruined and killed.

As for Nanman, he never even thought about it.Now that Nanman and Tianchen have started a war, Prince Chen is personally conscripting, and Yan Kingdom is also preparing to send troops to Nanman, the destruction of Nanman is just around the corner.

At such a juncture, it is the best policy for him and Cheng'er to stay in Tianchen Palace.Before Prince Chen's class teacher returns to the court, he still has the opportunity to find a way to resolve the crisis that Lan's family encountered this time.

Lan Qingcheng looked up at Lan Shenglian, she said with a firm expression: "Cheng'er believes that brother can solve this matter well, but this matter was caused by Cheng'er, so Cheng'er wants to solve it with brother."

The members of Lan's family are not cowards. Now that something has happened, they should find ways to remedy it.

Lan Shenglian pondered for a moment, and then said: "Cheng'er, if you really want to help brother, you can stay in Jinxiu Palace with peace of mind, so that brother can solve this matter without any worries."

The imperial guards were already guarding the outside of Jinxiu Palace, so he didn't have to worry about the concubine coming to trouble Cheng'er. What he was really worried about was that Cheng'er would rush out without composure.

"Okay, Cheng'er agrees to brother, as long as it is what brother says, Cheng'er agrees." Lan Qingcheng nodded hurriedly.

Lan Shenglian showed a gratified smile, and he asked again: "Cheng'er, after what happened this time, do you... still want to marry Prince Chen?"

Lan Shenglian's eyes contained a trace of imperceptible expectation and hidden worry, but Lan Qingcheng didn't notice it.

Lan Qingcheng was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "Brother, although Cheng'er is a little stupid, but he is not without self-knowledge. After what happened that day, how can Cheng'er still have illusions about Prince Chen? If brother Now that the Lan family's crisis has been resolved, can you take Cheng'er back?"

She really didn't want to stay in this palace anymore, even if she would be punished heavily if she went back, she would definitely not stay.

Instead of living alone here, it is better to leave the palace and live more freely.

Some fools are enough once, how can she let herself be the laughing stock of others again?

Lan Shenglian suddenly stepped forward and pulled Lan Qingcheng into her arms, he firmly said: "Cheng'er, I will definitely take you back, trust me."

Lan Qingcheng was startled, and then wrapped his arms around Lan Shenglian's waist, "Cheng'er believes in brother, Cheng'er has always believed in brother."

Throughout Lan's family, the person she trusts the most is her brother.As long as her brother is there, even if the sky falls, she will not be afraid.

After a long time, Lan Shenglian let go of Lan Qingcheng.He reached out and rubbed Lan Qingcheng's head, and said softly: "Wait here for me, I will go to see the emperor, and then we can go home tomorrow."

Lan Qingcheng nodded, and said obediently: "Cheng'er listens to brother, but brother must guarantee that he will return safely, and Cheng'er will always wait here for brother."

He didn't know what his brother was going to see the emperor for, but since his brother said he wanted her to wait here for him, she would obediently wait for him to come back.

The emperor seemed to have expected that Lan Shenglian would go looking for him, so Lan Shenglian was able to see the emperor without hindrance.

In that imperial study room, the emperor retreated all the palace servants who were serving inside, leaving only him and Lan Shenglian inside.

No one knew what they were talking about, but after Lan Shenglian left, the emperor immediately withdrew all the imperial guards guarding in front of Jinxiu Palace.

After returning from the Imperial Mausoleum, Gu Xiaowu stopped by Tianxiang Tower, entrusted Yanfeng with all the matters after she went to Holy Spirit Island, and then followed Dugu to find the Three Princes' Mansion.

In the past, she would have left everything to Su Xin and Su Wen to take care of, but now it is different.

Su Wen was injured, and it would take a month or two to heal. As for Su Xin, she always felt that something was different after she came out of the palace.

Although she is not yet capable of betraying her, her current situation is really not suitable for entrusting those things to her.

Si Jingjun's efficiency was really fast, but in just one day, he had arranged everything.

Early the next morning, he sent a carriage to the Sanwang Mansion to pick up Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu threw his pitifully small luggage into the carriage, turned around to bid farewell to Dugu Xun, but Dugu Xun jumped into the carriage before her.

"You...what are you doing?" This guy hasn't figured out the situation yet, has he?

Dugu Xun showed a captivating smile, and said, "Of course I will go to Holy Spirit Island with you."

He's not a fool, how could he let Xiao Sui get along with that man day and night for so long.

What's more, how could he let Xiao Wu go alone in such a dangerous place as Holy Spirit Island?

"...Do you really want to go?" Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows, although he looked indifferent on the face, but he was very moved in his heart.

She is not a fool, how could she fail to guess Dugu Xun's intentions.

"Of course, no matter where Xiao Wu goes in the future, I will follow." Anyway, he has already made up his mind to just be an idle prince. He really doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the court, so he might as well spend more time with Xiao Wu .

"Since you want to go so much, then I will show mercy and let you go with me." Gu Xiaowu smiled, grabbed Dugu Xun's hand and got into the carriage.

Before they set off, they heard a luxurious carriage approaching.

The carriage stopped not far from them, and then Lan Shenglian was seen getting off the carriage.

"I want to talk to you." Lan Shenglian looked at Gu Xiaowu with a particularly firm expression.

Originally, he planned to keep this secret until the grave, but a series of incidents later forced him to tell Gu Xiaowu this secret.

The reason is that she, Gu Qingcheng, will not take revenge on Cheng'er in the future.

"Really, but if you want to talk to me, I have to listen to you?" Gu Xiaowu sneered, not intending to get off the carriage at all.

"If it's something else, I'm really not sure that you can listen to me willingly, but this matter is about your sister, who is a compatriot, don't you listen?" The expression on Lan Shenglian's face did not change at all, as if It was as if he was sure that Gu Xiaowu would listen to him.

Gu Xiaowu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, although he laughed.

She turned to look at Dugu Xun, and said in a low voice, "Go down and wait for me for a while, I will deal with him quickly."

Dugu Xun nodded, and got out of the carriage without saying a word.

"You come up and say it." Gu Xiaowu's tone was not very good, but Lan Shenglian didn't care.

Lan Shenglian got into the carriage with a smile, and before Gu Xiaowu could speak, she said, "You actually have a twin sister. As for who that person is, I think you should have already guessed it."

Originally, he didn't know about this matter, if he hadn't investigated her matter in order to make her promise to be Cheng'er's substitute to marry Dugu Chen, he would never have known about it for the rest of his life.

"You mean Lan Qingcheng? Why should I believe you?" It doesn't matter if they look the same, there are many similar people in the world.

Lan Shenglian nodded slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I'm just here today to tell you what I know."

She is a smart person, and she will definitely investigate this matter after she knows it. When all the evidence is in front of her, she has no reason not to believe it.

"You and Cheng'er are indeed twin sisters, but after Cheng'er was born, she was taken away by the midwife who delivered your mother." Lan Shenglian said slowly: "It is true that my Lan family is sorry for you. mother……"

Even so, he felt very lucky.If it wasn't for what his father and mother did back then, maybe he would never meet Cheng'er in his life.

"Say what you have to say quickly, don't worry about mother-in-law and mother." Gu Xiaowu said angrily, she really hates being teased like this.

Lan Shenglian didn't take Gu Xiaowu's attitude to heart, he continued: "The day before your mother gave birth to you and Cheng'er, the midwife who delivered your mother also delivered my mother. The baby was born as a dead baby. Before the baby was born, the head of my Lan family had already decided to send it to the palace, so after learning that it was a dead baby, my parents were very panicked, so they Spend a lot of money to entrust the midwife to help find a suitable baby girl."

"Wait." Gu Xiaowu suddenly interrupted Lan Shenglian, she said with a sneer on her face: "Your Lan's family doesn't seem to be in Jiangning City, does it? How could the midwife who delivered your mother deliver my mother? And , the baby hasn’t been born yet, how do you know if it’s a baby boy or a baby girl?”

In this era, there is no B-ultrasound or anything, so how could it be impossible for them to know the gender of the child in advance, isn't it?

"My father and mother came to Jiangning City because my mother suffered from prenatal depression, so my father took my mother out to relax, but my mother suddenly gave birth prematurely. As for the sex of the baby, I can identify it with my own free method. " Lan Shenglian said.

The corners of Gu Xiaowu's mouth twitched involuntarily. Did this age already know about prenatal depression?

"It just so happened that the midwife was invited by your mother to go up the mountain to deliver the baby on the second day. After your mother gave birth to you, she passed out. It is said that there was no one else in the delivery room at that time. My son was born safely." Although he had never seen a woman give birth, as a person proficient in medical skills, he could also imagine how urgent the situation was.
