The Daughter of the General's Gate: The Genius Little Meng Fei

Chapter 14
In the evening, Lu Qingping's uncle and the village head held a banquet together. The people in the mountains all grew their own vegetables, and there were some mountain delicacies, which made them very appetizing.

During the dinner, Xu Changrong also asked the village chief to take care of Qingping's family. He hinted: "The current emperor loves the eldest grandson Li Yan very much. Although the crown prince is gone, the position of the eldest grandson is still unbreakable. At the beginning, the crown prince and General Gu agreed to get married. It's a pity that General Gu has suffered, otherwise it would be impossible for the young lady of the Gu family to be raised in this village."

The village chief was even more concerned when he heard that. After Xu Changrong left, he told the villagers to treat Qingping's mother and daughter well. .

After Xu Changrong came once, he couldn't come again for a long time. He is the imperial physician of the palace, so it is impossible to go out often.Fortunately, with his words in front, Qingping barely survived the day under the care of the villagers.

Not long after the year, news of the old lady's passing came from Beijing, but it was impossible for them to go to Beijing to mourn in their current identities. Qingping cried for a long time that day, and she burned paper money in the direction of the capital, holding Gu Qian in her arms. Li kowtowed a few times in that direction.

"Li'er, when you grow up, you must find a way to go back to the capital, and offer incense and kowtow to your parents, grandparents, and grandmother. It's a pity that they don't even have a farewell person when they die." She wept bitterly. After a long time, he took the sacrifices and carried Gu Qianli back home.

When Gu Qianli was eight months old, the nanny was sent away by Qingping. She really couldn’t afford to feed an idler. It would be good if she could feed Gu Qianli until Gu Qianli started to eat liquid food and then weaned. Fortunately, there were ewes in the village. The same goes for begging for some goat's milk for her to drink.

Xu Changrong sent Gu Qianli nourishing herbs, and Qingping also stewed a little for her every day, and usually ate some soft food such as porridge, noodles and eggs, and Gu Qianli's health improved a lot.

However, the people in this country are already poor, so it is impossible to help them for a long time. Every time Qingping asks for goat milk, she will send some other items in return. Way to help her.

Country people have nothing else but physical strength. The neighbors next door see them helpless, so they give them some firewood when they have time, and help her plow the fields in spring. Qingping also learns to plant some crops such as rice and corn. Over time, even Gu Liancheng learned to sow seeds and weeds at a young age.

Gu Qianxue absolutely refused to work, so Qingping had no choice but to let her stay at home to take care of Gu Qianli, while she went out with Liancheng to do some farm work. She fed a few chickens and ducks at home, and after laying eggs, It can be steamed to nourish Gu Qianli's body.

For these reasons, she has to go out to find some wild vegetables and chop them up to raise ducks. She is busy every day, and she has to look at Gu Qianxue's cold face when she returns home. But Qingping is still content in her heart, at least her son and daughter are safe and sound by her side. Ever since she experienced too many life and death partings, she feels that there is nothing more important than being alive.

Li Yan in the palace was not so lucky. With both parents dead, he was taken to the palace by the empress to raise him personally. The empress had lost the will to live after her son died, and was dying of serious illness for several days until Xu Changrong asked her for pulse. He said: "Empress, Your Highness is now alone and helpless, and there are many dangers around him. There are a lot of people waiting for him. If you don't get up, he might not be able to survive this winter."

The empress was very sad when she heard the words, and then she struggled to eat the soup and medicine. It has been two full months since she was finally able to go to the ground, and her hair has turned out to be more than half white.The emperor would occasionally come over to sit with her with guilt towards her, but the newcomer in the harem was like a flower, but he didn't want to stay in the queen's palace with white hair that looked like an old woman at night.

The queen doesn't care about all the glory and grace, and now she just wants to protect her son's only flesh and blood.

After she cheered up, she found that during the two months of her illness, first the prime minister resigned from office, and then Li Yan encountered several different crises such as poisoning and falling into the water. Fortunately, Gao Ning desperately protected him to save his life , She couldn't help regretting that she shouldn't have lost her fighting spirit, and secretly vowed that she would never let Li Yan follow her son's old path again, and she must desperately clear all obstacles for him.

The queen contacted the mother clan's forces and found officials who were loyal to the prince Li Sheng in the past. Even though the prime minister resigned, she secretly cultivated a group of loyal behind-the-scenes forces for Li Yan. The queen and the prime minister died for themselves. His son, a daughter who was lost for himself, agreed to use all his strength and even his life to build an iron wall for this posthumous child.

Under the strong request of the queen, the case of the poisoning of the crown prince Li Sheng had to be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Queen Wang accompanied the emperor to travel all over the world, and her father and brother went through fire and water to make contributions to them. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor was grateful for the merits of the queen's family.

The relationship between the two people was also very good at the beginning, a couple in need saw the truth, but the emperor became more and more vain after the Ming Dynasty became more and more powerful, and there were countless fans in the Sangong and Sixth Courts, and he gradually began to get tired of this married wife.

The imperial concubine Liu Lanxin's father has a low official position. She was not promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor until she was promoted to imperial concubine. Originally, he was in charge of the prince's case. After two months of investigation, there was no clue. The queen angrily reprimanded After a while, the case was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When the case came to the fore, it was not just a few people who panicked, but a large group of people panicked. You must know that not only the imperial concubine and Li Su were involved in the matter of the crown prince, but also a group of officials who flattered them.

In the past few days, these officials have often presented memorials to let the emperor consider establishing a crown prince. At present, only the fourth prince Li Su is the most suitable prince. The purpose of these people is self-evident, but the emperor is unwilling He made promises easily, and every time this matter was brought up, he pushed it back and forth.

Now if any clues are found in this case, more than one person will suffer. Now Li Su hastily invited several officials to discuss the countermeasures urgently.

The imperial concubine has been very worried recently. It turned out that the empress ignored the emperor's favor after she woke up. Instead, she chose two beautiful young ladies from her mother's family to accompany the emperor in the palace. She also generously said that she was old. Being old and weak, unable to serve the emperor, the two little maids of his family took care of the emperor on their behalf.

These two women are young and beautiful, and they are the young ladies who were brought up by the aristocratic family. They have outstanding temperament and extraordinary talents. They coax the emperor around, and they spend less and less time in the imperial concubine's room. After inquiring, it turned out to be replaced by the Shiquan Dabu Wan offered by the queen's family.

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth with hatred every day, but she was powerless to recover. To make matters worse, the case of the prince was transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. She really felt the crisis was approaching.
