602 Episode [-]: An Unexpected Rival

Episode 602: Hidden Secrets

"Mother, I have good news for you."

The daughters came, Duanmu Shiyao sat on the side, and Duanmu Shilin snuggled up to her mother, talking sweetly.

Now that the burden that has been suppressed in her heart has been relieved, Bai Lian is in a good mood, listening to Duanmu Shilin's voice is like listening to a ballad.

"What good news?"

"The imperial doctor checked the pulse and said that I am pregnant with two."

"real?!"

"Ok!"

Bai Lian cheered, and the mother and daughter embraced like Korean drama actors, laughing and crying at the same time.

"I'm pregnant with two like my mother. They must be dragon and phoenix twins. They must be."

"I think so too, just like big sister and big brother, right sister?"

Duanmu Shilin's joyful voice failed to get a response from the eldest sister, and the mother and daughter looked to the other side, Duanmu Shiyao was in a daze.

"Shi Yao?"

"Ok?"

Duanmu Shiyao came back to her senses when she heard her mother's call, and asked with a smile on her face, "What orders does the queen mother have?"

"Why are you in a daze?"

"It's nothing." Duanmu Shiyao tugged at her skirt.

Duanmu Shilin poked her head over and said with a smirk: "Does the eldest sister also want to have another child? How did the plan succeed here, right?"

Bai Lian smiled, while Duanmu Shiyao pinched her waist, pretending to be angry and said, "What's the plan? We are husband and wife, not having an affair."

Duanmu Shilin laughed, and hugged her mother again.At this time, Bai Lian had already begun to pay attention to the eldest daughter, and she fell into deep thought alone again.

She must have something on her mind, is it really like what Shi Lin said, to bother about the child?That's right, their Yi'er is seven years old, but Shiyao's stomach still hasn't moved.

If only two or three more children would be born, three or four children would be the most suitable, not too noisy, but not too lonely.

Why Duanmu Shiyao is bothered, probably only she and Nan Xiao know.

On the way back, Duanmu Shiyao kept squinting her eyes.Their plan was to have Xiao Wu kill innocent people indiscriminately.Because Qiao Luo has always been dissatisfied with his mother since his daughter's death.Xiao Wu interrogates him, and he will definitely be tortured.His new and old grudges will inevitably speak freely, and according to Xiao Wu's temper, he will definitely kill him.Qiao Luo did not commit a crime, but was killed by Xiao Wu, how angry would the father be?

However, the results found by the Ministry of Criminal Justice turned out to be that Qiao Luo was really guilty, and the evidence was sufficient, and the testimony was convincing. How could this be the case?Qiao Luo was just framed.

When she arrived at Prince Xiaoyuan's mansion, the maid helped her get out of the car and walked slowly towards the courtyard of the princess.Along the way, Duanmu Shiyao was still squinting her eyes.

Although Lu Gushan liked Xiao Wu very much, he was upright and would never lie. Then who could have made such full preparations in such a short period of time?

Returning to the bedroom, she changed her clothes, Duanmu Shiyao sat on the soft couch, and soon, one of her personal servants came over and said in a low voice: "Princess, there is news."

Duanmu Shiyao hurriedly dismissed the servants around her, and the maid took out a letter from her sleeve, which was the message from Nan Xiao.

Duanmu Shiyao took out the letter paper and unfolded it to read: Your Highness, it seems that we underestimated the ability of the Fourth Highness.If my guess is correct, in Qiao Luo's case, it was His Highness the Fourth Highness who made those perjury evidence.But even though Qiao Luo is guilty, the emperor is still disappointed with His Highness Fifth, and our next target is His Highness Fourth.In view of his ability, this time our opponent is very strong, we must plan carefully.

Duanmu Shiyao handed the letter paper to the maid, and the maid took it to the brazier, threw it into it and burned it.

It turned out to be Xiao Si, this little brother who never loses his temper, only smiles, and is unknown, unexpectedly has such tricks.

Duanmu Shiyao sneered, but no matter how smart he was, he couldn't stop her.She must make brother Xiaoyuan the emperor, and she must sit on the throne of the queen mother!

In the early court, Qiao Luo's crimes were announced, and the entire Qiao family was exiled for this reason.The imperial decree also said that Duanmu Xuanyao, King of Lingyang, was unwell, and we should rest at home, and the position of minister of punishment was temporarily mentioned by others.The imperial court asked the prime minister to work with the Ministry of Officials to draw up new candidates for the Minister of the Household and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Nan Xiao received the order, and He Yin immediately asked him to go to the Military and Political Pavilion to discuss.With a sneer in his heart, Nan Xiao named the candidate, He Yin analyzed it, and readily agreed.In this way, the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment have settled down.

The candidate has already been finalized.Nan Xiao's serial plan is to use Xiao Wu's hand to kill Hubu Shangshu, frame Xiao Wu, and at the same time push his own people to the throne of Hubu Shangshu, so as to monitor Xiao Si and lay the foundation for them to plot against Xiao Si.

The plan went smoothly, except for one thing, Qiao Luo was really convicted.

Duanmu Canglan went to Yueluan Hall shortly after the imperial decree came down, and he knew that Bai Li'an must have many doubts.

Sure enough, Bai Lian was sitting by the corridor, as if waiting for him.Seeing him coming, she stood up, frowned slightly, and looked at him worriedly.

Duanmu Canglan held her hand and walked back to the bedroom with her.

"Cang Lan, something happened, right?"

Duanmu Canglan nodded, and told Bailian about Xiao Wu's killing of Qiao Luo.After hearing this, Bai Lian had mixed feelings in his heart.

"it's all my fault……"

Duanmu Canglan held her hand tightly, and asked puzzledly: "It doesn't matter about you, it's because I didn't teach him well."

Bai Lian raised his head, his big black eyes were full of self-blame: "No, it's my fault. It was I who hid Shi Yao's rebellion when she was young from you, which caused her to poison all the harem, including Concubine Ning. Qiao Luo would mistakenly think that I killed his daughter and hate me and you. If it weren't for these hatred and resentment, how could he insult us in front of Xiao Wu? If he didn't insult us, Xiao Wu How could you kill him impulsively?"

"At this time, your brain is easy to use again."

Duanmu Canglan sighed helplessly, he hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "If there are so many ifs, what does it mean to be alive in this life? No one is to blame for this, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

Bai Lian asked with tears in his arms, and he pressed her forehead so she couldn't see his half-closed eyes now.

"It's nothing."

Bai Li'an's mood must become bad, Duanmu Canglan ordered Duanmu Shilin to be taken to the palace.The youngest daughter is about to be born, and Nan Xiao has been very busy recently and rarely goes home, so he simply took her in. The mother and daughter will have company, and Bai Lian is busy taking care of his daughter, so he won't just think about it.

But he started thinking about it himself.

He felt that something was wrong, so he called the servant and said, "Go and ask Master Lu to come here."

The servant said he had left, Duanmu Canglan tapped on the table with her fingers, making "thump, thump", the sound was like a hammer, knocking on his brain, knocking him out of the fog in front of him , Gradually wake up.

Not long after, Mount Lugu came.
