First Concubine

Chapter 127 Offering treasure to save son (3)

Duoduo ran over smelling the fragrance of milk, stretched out his furry paws and scratched the barrel, making a harsh sound and a "wow" sound of dissatisfaction with desire.

 It wants to **** milk!

Shui Linglong was lying on the edge of the barrel, dipping her fingertips in water drops to tease Duoduo. Duoduo jumped and jumped, but she couldn't reach him. Duoduo grunted in grievance and threw his big **** to Shui Linglong.

"Pfft--" Shui Linglong laughed. For some reason, Duoduo's coquettish and sulky look reminded her of Guo Yan.

Guo Yan knew very well about Yun Li and the future of the royal family. She once suspected that Guo Yan was also a reborn person, but later, she denied this suspicion because the Yun family was not destroyed when Guo Yan died in the previous life, even if Guo Yan was reborn. , and it is impossible to know the fate of the Yun family. Don't tell her that another soul went back in time and was reborn in Guo Yan. This is... too impossible!

 The next day, an acquaintance came to the house, Mama Du.

 “My slave, please say hello to my eldest aunt!”

Shui Linglong pointed to the round stool beside her: "Sit down."

"Thank you, great aunt!" Mother Du sat down as she was told, but she didn't sit very comfortably. After a month of absence, the great aunt seemed to be a little more majestic. She couldn't help but even breathe cautiously, and prepared the opening remarks for the celebration. It also turned into a very respectful statement, "The old lady asked the slave to send some oranges to the eldest young lady."

Shui Linglong looked at the "samples" on the table and smiled slightly: "Are you from Tong County?"

Mama Du lowered her eyebrows and said, "My aunt is from Tong County, Zhuangzi where you used to live."

Shui Linglong said a few polite words: "How is my grandmother's health? How are my mother and father?"

Mama Du replied: "The weather is getting colder, and the old lady occasionally coughs, but it's not serious. Both the master and his wife are fine, but the second lady is grounded and makes a lot of noise."

Shui Linglong didn't bother to care about what happened to Shui Lingxi, so she chatted with her in a nonchalant manner, rewarded Mama Du with a red envelope, and prepared some nourishing snow ginseng for Mama Du to bring to the old lady.

Mama Du stood up and thanked her, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she found Mama Zhong who was washing clothes: "Sister Zhong, let me ask you something. Tell me the truth."

 Mother Zhong was stunned: "You said it."

“Does my aunt know a person named ‘Xun Bin’?”

 “Huh?” Never heard of it!

Mama Du's eyes flashed with thought: "To be honest, at the beginning of the year, a very capable young man came to the Shangshu Mansion. On the day of the ceremony, he was the one who caught the mole in the eldest young master's yard."

As for Shui Minyu’s scandal, Mrs. Du kept it in her heart, “Once I found him secretly looking at my aunt, I didn’t take it seriously at the time. Later, after the master fired him, he told me that his life was given to me by my aunt. Yes, there would be no him without his eldest aunt. Before leaving, he wanted to kowtow to his eldest aunt. I thought that maybe my eldest aunt had saved his life or something, but at that time, my eldest aunt and the prince were engaged. I kept this matter secret, even when he asked me to tell my aunt to go to Xiangmanlou for an appointment, I didn’t say anything.”

Mother Zhong broke out in a cold sweat: "You were right to hide it! If this gets out, the eldest lady's reputation will be ruined!"

"The eldest lady probably doesn't know him. I once deliberately asked the eldest lady who was called 'Bin' in Zhuangzi to seek a future. The eldest lady said she didn't know such a person." Mother Du frowned, "This time I went to Zhuangzi and questioned all the servants carefully, but I didn't hear anyone named 'Xun Bin'! If you think about it again, there is really no one named 'Xun Bin' around my aunt? Just in case, if one day he suddenly jumps out and slanders the eldest lady... we have to think of countermeasures in advance! "

It is true that he is thinking about Shui Linglong, and it is also true that the gossip factor is causing trouble. Mother Du actually wanted to find out whether Shui Linglong was causing trouble outside.

 Mother Zhong slapped her chest in shock and gasped: "I'm relieved about this. Thank you for reminding me."

After Mama Du left, Mama Zhong immediately found Shui Linglong: "Miss, have you ever revealed your name and identity in any strange place? A place where it is easier to meet ordinary people!"

It shouldn’t be a plum-appreciation banquet. The people attending the plum-appreciation banquet are all rich or noble people. How can a young man be so capable? Could it be Qin Fangyi's fault again?

Shui Ling closed the storybook in her hand. She was multitasking when talking to Zhifan and others, but facing Mother Zhong, she was more respectful: "I usually wear a veil when I go shopping and never reveal my name or identity. Why?" "

Mother Zhong asked: "Then why did a man named 'Xun Bin' say that you gave him his life? Miss, have you saved anyone?"

Snapped!

The storybook fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, like the ice hanging from the eaves in winter being suddenly broken, and the broken ice particles scattered all over the face, and some even got into the skirt of the clothes...

Shui Linglong shuddered!

It wasn’t until Mother Zhong shook her hand that she suddenly came back to her senses. She was always calm and almost broke her voice: “Where have you seen him?”

"It's not what I saw, it was Mama Du..." Mama Zhong was so frightened by Shui Linglong's lost look that she hesitated for a long time before she finally finished repeating Mama Du's words.

Shui Linglong was stunned for a moment, saying that she gave him his life, who else could it be besides her Bin'er?

　　It’s not the same name or the same surname, nor is it a dream!

 She was reborn, and so was her son!

 To think that he and she were once so close and so close! He worked hard to find her and lean into her... but she... knew nothing!

 She really wanted to kill Mama Du!

　　Why did he make his own decisions and hide Bin'er's appointment with Xiangmanlou?

No, Mama Du asked her in a subtle way: "Miss! Do you know a person named Xi Bin? The mansion was about to select some capable servants from the village, and a lady in charge of the dining room asked a slave to walk through the back door. , I forgot my surname, I only remember the word 'bin' in my name."

At that time, she thought that she would never marry Xun Feng in this life, and she would not be able to have Xun Bin again. He just had the same name, so she decisively said that she didn't know him...

Had she asked more, would the outcome have been very different?

 But there are no ifs in the world, only consequences and results.

 As a result, she missed her son forever!

At this time, Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in: "Miss! Anping said there is something urgent and I want to see you!"

Shui Linglong saw Anping with a solemn expression outside Mohe Courtyard. Her first reaction was to ask Anping what he did at Huangji Restaurant that day, but after thinking about it, she asked again: "What happened?"

Anping whispered: "According to your instructions, I sent Xiao Qi to keep an eye on Xiao Anzi's movements, and found that he secretly contacted a group of dead soldiers, about ten people in total, and they are all heading north now."

The north, so to speak, went to assassinate Guo Yan!

Zhuge Liuyun did not agree to kill Guo Yan, so did Concubine De really not give up? !

 “Don’t marry the prince! The prince cannot be the emperor! If you marry her... you will not end well!”

"You can just think that I just listened to the inference of a certain eminent monk, but believe me, Yun Li can't become emperor! Not only Yun Li, but also the entire Yun family will be destroyed. You don't have anything to do with them!"

 “Linglong can’t eat seafood! She will be allergic!”

“I don’t have enough clothes to wear, and my shoes are torn, look!”

 “I...can I hug you?”

Guo Yan, Xun Bin, Xun Bin, Guo Yan…

Shui Linglong's expression changed, she turned around and entered Zhuge Yu's study, took out a rectangular brocade box from the secret room and went to the main courtyard.

“What are you doing?” Zhuge Liuyun stared at Shui Linglong kneeling on the ground and asked doubtfully.

Shui Linglong knew that Zhuge Liuyun's injury was already well, and that sitting in a wheelchair was just a cover-up, but she still asked with concern: "Is your father's condition looking better?"

"Yeah." Zhuge Liuyun responded lightly. It was not an answer, but it sounded like an affirmative tone.

Shui Linglong went straight to the point: "I have a treasure to dedicate to my father, but I beg your father to grant me a request!"

After saying this, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Zhuge Liuyun.

Zhuge Liuyun opened the brocade box, took out the scroll and spread it out. His originally mocking heart was shaken when he saw the contents of the painting clearly!

Like a golden color with a shallow glow, Avalokitesvara sitting on a lotus seems to have a radiant light that can save countless sentient beings.

What is this if it's not "Guanyin Buddha Lotus"?

Shui Linglong raised her eyes to look at Zhuge Liuyun's surprised face, and said solemnly: "This painting was given to my father. I got this painting by chance. I always thought it was an ordinary painting. My husband saw it." Later, they said it was a Mobei treasure map. I didn’t believe it at first. It wasn’t until the prince of Mobei presented the fake treasure map to Long Live Lord that I boldly believed what my husband said. But neither my husband nor I wanted to get into trouble. So I didn’t announce it to the outside world.”

Zhuge Liuyun looked at Shui Linglong's expression for a moment, making sure that she didn't even twitch her eyelids, and then said slowly: "What do you want me to promise you?"

Shui Linglong took a deep breath and said word by word: "Protect Guo Yan!"

 Yao Mansion.

"Xiao Xi, hold on, hold on! The midwife will be here soon!" Yao Cheng held Zhuge Xi's hand, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Xiao Xi's due date was mid-December, but it has now been advanced. It's been almost a month, this...what the **** is going on?

Since he got married to Xiao Xi again, his illness has recovered, he no longer forgets things, and he will be able to resume his official position next year. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, but now looking at Xiao Xi's life-threatening pain, He panicked again...

Zhuge Xi was sweating like rain, and her face was so pale that there was no blood. She tightened Yao Cheng's wrist, and her nails scratched blood marks on it: "It hurts so much! Why does it hurt so much to give birth? Yao Cheng, I won't give birth anymore." …”

Yao Cheng kissed her forehead and comforted her with a trembling voice: "Xiao Xi, please bear with me any longer. Mom said giving birth is so painful..."

"You bastard! It's all your fault! It hurts me so much..." I didn't really want to scold him, but I was very uneasy inside. They say that a woman giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell. Whether she is destined to die or live is determined by fate. She didn't want Yao Cheng to see her anxiety, and she didn't want to admit that she, who had always been brave, was suddenly extremely afraid of not being able to give birth to this little life.

Yao Cheng nodded like crazy: "Yes, yes! I'm a bastard! It's all my fault! We'll never give birth to another baby again! I won't let you feel any pain..."

Mrs. Yao looked at the **** marks on her son's wrists after being scratched, and felt so distressed that she wanted to chop off Zhuge Xi's fingers. Especially after hearing her son's **** words, she was so angry that her eyes were filled with stars. But when she thought of Zhuge Xi giving birth to a child, She had to swallow this breath again: "Xiao Xi, you... it hurts Yao Cheng..."

Yao Cheng turned around and shot a sharp cold gaze at Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao's scalp went numb: "Okay, okay, I'm an eyesore here! I'm going to see if the ginseng soup is ready, Yan Ying, you Stare!"

Feng Yanying said happily: "I understand, mother."

She walked to the bedside, looked at Zhuge Xi who was pale with pain, and then looked at the hands they were holding. She felt deep envy in her heart, but she did not forget to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, the first baby will be better." It’s hard to give birth, but it will get better later. When I gave birth to Brother Zhi, I was in pain for seven hours, but the birth of Brother Tong was so fast that it barely hurt.”

"What? Seven...seven hours?" Yao Cheng was dumbfounded. In less than half an hour, Xiao Xi was in pain that was heart-piercing. Wouldn't it take seven hours to faint from the pain?

As if aware of Yao Cheng's worries, Feng Yanying added: "Drink some ginseng soup if you faint, and then revive when you wake up."

Yao Cheng was so scared that he lost his mind!

When the news reached the palace, Leng Youru and Zhen immediately took Shui Linglong to the Yao family.

In the bright hall, Mrs. Yao was sitting on pins and needles, Yao Cheng was pacing back and forth, Leng Youru was quietly sipping tea, but there was no sign of sadness or joy, Mrs. Zhen lowered her eyes and said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shui Linglong's eyes moved, she stood up and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

Out of the bright hall, Shui Linglong found Hua Rong. Shui Linglong pulled Hua Rong into Zhuge Xi's bedroom and lowered her voice and said, "Let me ask you, why did my eldest sister give birth prematurely? Did she fall or knock herself?"

Hua Rong thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "The eldest young lady didn't fall or get hit. She just took a nap and suddenly complained of stomachache."

Shui Linglong's quiet eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "What has she eaten in the past few days? Including snacks and fruits, bring them all to me!"

 “Okay!” Hua Rong quickly turned around and went to the cabinet to search for Zhuge Xi’s daily meals.

Where she couldn't see it, Shui Linglong touched Zhuge Xi's small floral pillow with lightning speed.

When Hua Rong turned around, Shui Linglong withdrew her hand and was busy touching her hair to cover up the stiffness in her arms.

Hua Rong put the fruits and cakes on the table: "That's it. As for the food, I give it to everyone after every meal, and there is nothing left."

Shui Linglong looked at the food on the table and said thoughtfully: "Grapes, oranges, honeydew melons, chestnut cakes, these are not cold things. Maybe I worry too much, many people naturally come in advance!"

Hua Rong doesn’t think so. The Guyuan Cream incident left a deep shadow on her. Who poisoned it can you tell at a glance?

A loud cry pierced the sky. In the bright hall, Mrs. Yao and Yao Cheng jumped up excitedly. They gave birth, they finally gave birth!

While thinking about it, Mother Lin ran in excitedly. She was so excited that she fell down at the threshold. However, she didn't seem to know the pain and just smiled and said: "Princess, Madam, you are a princess." Right bro!"

"Hey!" Mrs. Yao's eyes sparkled, and she patted Yao Cheng, who was stunned, "The Yao family has a queen! Haha... there is a queen!"

Feng Yanying lowered her head, feeling slightly disappointed. Aren't Brother Zhi and Brother Tong your grandsons?

Yao Cheng couldn't bear it any longer and ran out in a hurry.

Shui Linglong looked at Leng Youru and saw a slight smile on her lips and an elegant face, as if she was slightly happy, but she didn't know if her heart was really as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Feng Yanying covered her face and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is really lucky. Once it hurts, it hurts twice. I hurt twice!"

Only then did Mrs. Yao realize that she was only looking after Zhuge Xi, but ignored her second daughter-in-law. She took her hand and said pleasantly: "Brother Tong and Brother Zhi have added two younger brothers. Our family is really lively." Get up! Your sister-in-law is going to be in confinement, and I have to take care of Sister Hui, so you have to work hard for the general affairs in the house. "

Feng Yanying smiled and said, "Thank you, mother, for your trust. I will try my best to share the worries of mother and sister-in-law."

After the delivery room was cleaned up, everyone went into the room to visit the pair of babies. Zhuge Xi exhausted all his energy and fainted after just one look at the babies after giving birth. Yao Cheng didn't care to be intimate with his sons, so he held Zhuge Xi in prison. Hold him tightly in his arms.

In the west compartment, Mrs. Yao and Leng Youru hugged each other. Mrs. Yao teased the boss, who was like a little monkey: "Oh, he looks so handsome! He looks like he was carved from the same mold as Yao Cheng! Do you think he is the in-laws?" "

Leng Youru hugged her second child, and a casual smile gradually bloomed on the corner of her lips. When she looked carefully, she found that it was mixed with sarcasm of unknown meaning. Few people could understand it: "It's... very similar, very similar..."

Shui Linglong followed the sound, and for a moment, she seemed to see a pile of bones, covered with gorgeous clothes and beautifully painted skin, but those beautiful eyes had no life at all, which reminded people of ancient wells that had been silent for thousands of years. , or the foggy forest that has been miasmatic for thousands of years.

 Eerie...weird!

"Haha..." Leng Youru laughed out loud, smiling at Shui Linglong, as if laughing at her daze.

Shui Linglong then raised a faint smile. She was an innocent soul who climbed up from hell, so why should she be afraid of Leng Youru, a ghost walking in the world?

Mrs. Yao didn't notice the undercurrent between Shui Linglong and Leng Youru. She just assumed that Leng Youru had a grandson. She hugged the eldest son and kissed her one after another. She couldn't put it down!

When Zhuge Xi woke up, Yao Cheng was called by the old lady. Hua Rong brought chicken soup in and said happily: "Young lady, you are awake!"

Zhuge Xi touched the cold bed next to him and was startled, asking, "Where is the child?"

Hua Rong put the soup on the bedside table, helped Zhuge Xi sit up straight, and put a thick pillow behind her: "The eldest lady and the prince concubine carried the two young masters to Qingzhuyuan to pay their respects to the old lady. , carry it in a basket, and cover it with cotton wool, so it won’t get windy, don’t worry.”

 Zhuge Xi asked again: "Where is the eldest young master?"

 “The eldest young master has also gone.”
