Resourceful beauty

Chapter 309
"Oh, it's nothing important..."

Pretending to be calm, Xin Lan glanced at the heavy curtains, lowered her head and said, "A few days ago, I made a small coat for Brother Ming, and I wanted to ask Nurse Chen if the size fits my brother. , if there is something inappropriate, I will take it back and change it."

"Since that's the case, the servant will help you bring the message, so you can go back and rest at ease."

Ding Xiang said euphemistically, but the body standing in front of Xin Lan did not move at all.

Xin Lan nodded, turned around and left Xuanyi Hall slowly.

In the hall of Xuanyi, Fang Ruxuan hugged Brother Ming, the mother and son pointed at the picture album in front of them, babbling, talking back and forth.

Brother Ming sometimes asked questions and clapped his hands excitedly, spit out a few words from time to time, although Fang Ruxuan could understand what it meant, and followed his example to respond, the mother and son played very well. It's fun.

Tiger head and tiger brain are lively and cute, at this moment Brother Ming, how could he see a trace of illness.If Xin Lan saw it, her jaw would drop in shock.

Seeing Ding Xiang come in, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked, "Sent away?"

Ding Xiang nodded, "She wants to get that little coat back."

There was a bitter sneer, and Fang Ruxuan's words could not help but bring out a bit of hostility, "If you want to plot against my child, you have to weigh your own weight. If you have the courage to do it, you must have the courage to bear it. Give it to her, I want to see what she has behind her."

Fang Ruxuan originally thought that with Luwu and Lin Keer as examples, Xinlan would put away those little thoughts that no one noticed in the past, but she didn't expect that she would dare to do it in the middle of nowhere, because she thought Fang Ruxuan was always smiling. Like a soft persimmon, is it easy to handle?Or, what did the Empress Dowager Lou promise her?
Thinking back and forth between these two possibilities, and then thinking of Lin Ke'er in the Shouchang Palace, Fang Ruxuan smiled secretly: "I exchanged Lin Ke'er for Xinlan. The Empress Dowager Lou is really unwilling to relax in the East Palace." ah.

Thinking of Xin Lan's actions again, Fang Ruxuan already had a clear idea: Most likely, the Empress Dowager Lou wanted to use Brother Ming's life to pay for one or half of her own life, and then make Chu Yuan's mind go into a turmoil. , Chu Yuan couldn't deal with it wholeheartedly, and they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Um……"

With a movement of her arm, Fang Ruxuan came back to her senses, and saw that Brother Ming had grabbed her sleeve. The little guy pointed to a bird in the album and nodded solemnly.

Fang Ruxuan laughed, and scratched Brother Ming's nose, "Yes, what our Brother Ming said is right, they are now a bird without wings, and they can't get out of Daddy's palm."

He seemed to understand half understood, but was very happy with his mother's approval. Brother Ming clapped his hands vigorously, and when he grinned, he showed a few white teeth like rice grains, making him even more cute.

For several days in a row, the East Palace was peaceful, and even the people in the other palaces did not know that Brother Ming was ill, and Queen Zhou, under the order of King Yao, was still investigating the matter of Concubine Fang's premature birth.

However, apart from a little moss on the soles of Concubine Fang's shoes, outside the gate of Lanyue Pavilion, there is no trace of the place where Concubine Fang slipped.

The few palace servants who got up early that day to clean the nursery in front of the gate were not at all abnormal, and everything was as natural as if Concubine Fang really slipped and fell accidentally.

There was no trace to be found. When Queen Zhou returned to King Yao, she was pointed at the nose and scolded by King Yao, and then she came out of Qian'an Hall. Queen Zhou's face was as gloomy and hostile as the dark clouds in the sky.

Concubine Fang is still in confinement, so it is inconvenient for her to sleep with her. However, noblemen Yu and noblemen are always by King Yao's side, so even though the little prince was born without breath, King Yao still feels that Concubine Fang is Those who are very lucky, these days, the rewards are sent to Lanyue Pavilion like flowing water.

People in the palace used to be aware of the direction of the wind, so even in confinement, there were many people who came to visit Concubine Fang, which made Concubine Fang's life less difficult.

Sending off another batch of low-ranking concubines who paid their respects, Concubine Fang leaned on the side of the bed, looking down at the infant daughter beside her, her eyes were as gentle as the clouds in the sky.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Concubine Fang raised her head, and seeing that it was Liu Shang, she made a gesture of silencing her.

Liu Shang walked a few steps forward to the side of the bed, lowered his voice and said, "The queen has not found anything, and has already been reprimanded by the king."

Although he was reprimanded, he never ordered a thorough investigation. Is this the end of the matter?
She lost a son, and her daughter was weak. How could this matter end like this?
can't, never...

Thinking bitterly in her heart, Concubine Fang raised her eyes and asked Liu Shang, "You were by my side, and you knew what happened that day. What have you found out these days?"

Liu Shang hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeve.

When the cloth bag was opened, it was a piece of moss that had turned black. Although it was a complete piece, the hidden meaning in it was self-evident.

"Where did it come from?"

Concubine Fang asked with surprise.

"When I got up early, before the gate of the palace was opened, I threw it in from the outside. When I chased it out, no one outside saw it. I don't know what that person meant by throwing this in."

Liu Shang whispered back.

"Since someone has seen it and is willing to sell it to us, then we can't waste it. Go and find out if there is any moss like this in the palace."

As Concubine Fang spoke, her eyes deepened, and she clutched a corner of the brocade quilt, revealing the hatred in her heart.

"Master, could it be that someone deliberately did this to mislead us?"

Liu Shang asked worriedly.

Concubine Fang shook her head resolutely, "I gave birth to a child successfully, who can I threaten in this palace? No way. Even if I have two sons, when they grow up, the new king will already be in power for a long time. Years, is it possible that they can still make trouble? Therefore, those who want to harm me must not really want the life of me and the child..."

After careful analysis, Concubine Fang thought about it and felt that there was only one possibility, "Before, I picked up that jade pendant in front of the Wanfu Palace. I am afraid that there is something strange about this jade pendant. The person who harmed me wanted to borrow This palace, protect the owner of the jade pendant from being found out by the queen."

Although it was a random guess, Concubine Fang's analysis was already close to the truth.

"Thus, the person who threw the moss in was trying to help me, not harm me. Don't worry, go check it out..."

With a decision in her heart, Concubine Fang's words were extraordinarily sonorous and forceful, Liu Shang nodded in response, and turned to go out.

Concubine Fang took a few deep breaths, then turned her head, with an extremely gentle look, and pressed her face to the baby's face, Concubine Fang said softly: "Chuchu, you are the only child of Concubine Mother, Even if the concubine mother is desperate, she will protect you and prevent anyone from hurting you."

In the Shouchang Palace, the Empress Dowager Lou breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up Lin Ke'er who was squatting on the side of the pedals to pinch her legs, and said with admiration, "My good boy, I have really wronged you for asking you to do such a thing. gone."

"I'm not sorry..."

Lin Ke'er shook her head and smiled gently, "Ke'er's grandmother has leg problems, and it often hurts in winter, and Ke'er often pinches her legs. This is all because of Ke'er's filial piety. Now, being able to serve the Queen Mother, It's Ke'er's blessing, a blessing from previous life, Ke'er doesn't feel wronged at all."

"What a good boy..."

She praised repeatedly, thinking of something, Empress Dowager Lou's complexion changed slightly, and she sighed with some regret: "It's a pity to point you to the East Palace that day. If I knew this, I might as well let you serve King Rui."

Lin Ke'er's pretty face was flushed, and after a while, tears welled up in her eyes, "It's all because of Ke'er's fate."

"Silly boy……"

Lovingly stroking Lin Ke'er's hair, the Empress Dowager Lou hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Don't worry, since the Ai family has brought you to Shouchang Palace, they will give you a good future."

"In the future, a group of people will definitely be released from the palace. Although you are a woman from the Eastern Palace, you are still a perfect body. At that time, the Ai family will decide for you and let you go to Suqing Temple to pray. Avoid it for half a year or so." Three to five months, after the limelight has passed, the Ai family will take you back. At that time, change your name, and the Ai family will make decisions for you. Whoever dares to ignore you, the Ai family will be the first to not forgive her. "

The Empress Dowager Lou patted Lin Ke'er's hand with a loving face, as if she really loved Lin Ke'er as a granddaughter.

These words were vague and unfeeling, but Lin Ke'er understood, and immediately got up and bowed down: "Ke'er thanks the empress dowager for her love, and from now on, Ke'er will definitely obey and double Filial piety to you."

The Empress Dowager Lou nodded in satisfaction, and when Lin Keer got up, she changed her voice and asked about Xin Lan's progress.

Lin Ke'er hesitated for a moment, and explained for Xin Lan: "If Brother Ming is really inappropriate, Dong Gong will definitely hide the news first. Now, sister Xin Lan can't deliver the news. Let's be patient. Hold on."

Nodding absent-mindedly, the Empress Dowager Lou turned her head and asked Mother Su, "How many days has Princess Rui not entered the palace?"

Su Momo smiled and said, "The Queen Mother forgot? A while ago, Princess Rui was diagnosed with joy. It was you who ordered her to go down and not allow her to enter the palace. She will come to greet you after three months have passed and the fetal image is stable."

The face was full of joy, the Empress Dowager Lou instructed Mother Su to send someone to visit Prince Rui's Mansion every few days, and when she looked back, the joy was replaced by solemnity.

"No rush, no hurry..."

The Buddha string in her hand was twirling gently, and the Empress Dowager Lou smiled kindly: "It's better to settle the matter here. The future will be long, let's not be in a hurry."

When Chu Yuan returned to Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan had just woken up. Seeing her lazy and comfortable appearance, Chu Yuan sat beside her with a smile, and put his hand on her belly and pressed it quietly for a while.

"Good boy, maybe, it's a girl..."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

Fang Ruxuan nodded her head agreeingly, and immediately remembered something, and said to Chu Yuan: "Princess Lu has been sent to Shouchang Palace."

Imperial Physician Lu is good at pediatrics, but now, she has been announced by the Queen Mother Lou, and I know why.

There was a coldness in his eyes, Chu Yuan smiled and said: "The fox's tail, it's almost impossible to hide..."
