The Survival Path of a Vicious Female Partner

Lu Xiaoran knelt in front of Chu Ran, "The minister is late for help, please forgive the prince."

"Prince Lu, get up. If Miss Lu and Prime Minister Lu arrived in time this time, I'm afraid this prince would have been killed."

Lu Manman helped Lu Xiao Ran to get up, and Lu Xiaoran said: "These people dare to pretend to be the empress and assassinate the prince. The minister will definitely find out the matter."

"No, the prince will take care of this, and Prime Minister Lu is also asked to keep quiet."

Lu Xiaoran was a little puzzled. He looked at Chu Ran and then at Lu Manman. Lu Manman said, "Father, Your Royal Highness has his own decision. We will follow His Highness's opinion."

Lu Xiaoran nodded, he bowed to Chu Ran and said, "The old minister obeys his orders."

The carriage was already ready outside. This time Chu Ran returned to the palace. It was personally delivered by Lu Xiaoran with five hundred soldiers. Before leaving, Lu Xiaoran told Qing Zi Cuiqing: "You take the young lady back, and then Ask the doctor to have a good life to see if the young lady is injured."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, let the doctor see if you are injured, you are very brave today."

Qing Zi Cuiqing was originally the servants of the Lu Family. They were not servants only in Mingyue Xuan, but they were still servants after they left Mingyue Xuan. They didn't expect the master to remember their names and care about them so much and praise them. , They were very happy, and replied: "Yes, sir."

Chu Ran had already entered the carriage, and Lu Xiaoran also turned on his horse. As soon as he clipped his horse back, the horse started to walk.

He thought, originally Qing Zi Cuiqing were two so quiet and gentle girls. Ever since he followed his daughter, they dared to fight the man with the knife with a bamboo broomstick. It seems that his daughter is getting more and more wild. Now, it's time to find a good family for her.

After Chu Ran entered the palace, it was not the East Palace that returned, but the Fengqi Palace. Ye Li was seriously injured, and he had asked him to go to the imperial hospital to find Dr. Zhang. In other words, at this time he is really just a person, a useless person.

When he went to Fengqi Palace, he needed an explanation.

Why did his mother kill him?

It was already dinner time, and the queen was having a meal with Chu Ye. She served a bowl of bird’s nest and put it in front of Chu Ye, “Ye’er, this bird’s nest is just a tribute this year. It’s very nourishing. Drink more. point."

Chu Ye also served a bowl for the queen, "Mother concubine, drink more too."

The queen smiled kindly, "My palace knows that Ye'er is the one who loves his mother and concubine the most."

"Mother concubine, the eldest brother also loves her concubine very much. The eldest brother always remembers what the concubine likes to eat and what is good for the concubine. Every time I go to the East Palace, the eldest brother will talk to me and ask me to treat the concubine. Pay more attention to food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

The smile on the queen's face became a little stiff, "Ye'er, we won't mention him."

He squeezed the colored glaze spoon in his hand, "Mother concubine, I think... I think... the concubine may have misunderstood the eldest brother. The eldest brother rarely comes to Fengqi Palace to walk around because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and he is busy with official duties. Are you blaming Big Brother?"

The queen touched Chu Ye's head, "Ye'er, the concubine did not blame your eldest brother. You will know these things in a while. Ye'er, in a few days, you will be your fifteenth birthday. , Then you will be an adult and you can get married. Is there a girl in Ye'er's heart?"

Chu Ye's face blushed, "Mother concubine, the eldest brother has not yet married, and Ye'er is still young, so don't worry."

"Your elder brother... he can't get a wife at all in this life."

Chu Ye didn't quite understand, he asked, "Why?"

"Ye'er, we won't discuss this issue. Let's talk about your business. The mother-in-law thinks that your cousin is gentle and knowledgeable. She is fifteen years old and you are very good match."

"Mother and concubine, Ye'er doesn't want to marry for the time being."

At this time, the court lady came to report, "Empress Empress, Your Royal Highness is asking for a meeting outside Fengqi Palace."

The queen's hand paused, but she immediately recovered as she did before, and she said, "Let him in."

Guru... Guru...

It was the sound of his wheelchair rolling. He did not return to the Eastern Palace, did not change his clothes, and his white clothes were already stained with blood. He looked even a little embarrassed.

After Chu Ye found out, he hurried over, "Big Brother, what's the matter with you?"

He glanced lightly at the hearty dishes on the table, and since his legs were gone, he has never eaten with them again.

He said lightly, "It's okay."

Chu Ye was still very nervous, "Brother, have you met an assassin?"

"Yeah! Since I moved into the East Palace, there have been 238 assassinations and 376 poisonings, which is nothing."

Chu Ye opened his eyes wide, he never knew this.

"Big brother, why don't you tell me and my concubine these things?"

"What if I tell you, it will not only add to your troubles, but those who should be assassinated have to continue to assassinate, and those who should be poisoned will continue to be poisoned. It's better to hide it from you and let you live a good life."

He turned the wheelchair and came to the table. He directly grabbed a dish and chewed it in his mouth. Then he said: "I am careful in everything. Every bite of food I eat requires someone to try the poison and the clothes I wear. I also asked the **** ladies to check and check again, but they were afraid of any disclosure, but they must not know that all the food I eat in Fengqi Palace does not need to be tested for poison. I trust my family and trust you."

There was no smile on the queen's face, she said coldly: "Ye'er, you go down first, the palace and the prince have something to say."

"Mother Concubine..."

"Go down."

The empress’s tone was extremely severe. She had never spoken to him in such a tone. Chu Ye was a little frightened, and he said sternly: "Yes."

After Chu Ye retired, the queen walked to Chu Ran's side, and she asked, "Ran'er, did something happen to you?"

"Today I went to Lu Mansion, the court lady Tian Xiang in the mother concubine's palace, holding the mother concubine's waist badge and Feng Yin to pick up the son, but unexpectedly she took the son to a strange place and wanted to assassinate the son. ."

The queen was shocked, "What? Is there anything like this? But is it okay?"

"Fortunately, Prime Minister Lu arrived in time, and this saved the life of the children."

"Prime Minister Lu has done a good job in saving Ran'er, and this palace will go to the Sovereign to ask for a reward for him tomorrow."

"No, Erchen has asked Prime Minister Lu not to mention the matter."

The queen's eyes were wary, and she looked at Chu Ran, "Could it be that you already know who instigated this assassination?"

His tone was extremely flat, "Lu Manman recognized the leader. She is Dong Shishui's personal maid, Xia Xuan."

The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The court lady Tian Xiang in the palace dare to collude with the people of the Eastern Liang Kingdom and steal the waist badge and seal of the palace to murder the son of the palace. This palace will definitely not spare her. If it were her Caught by this palace, this palace will definitely kill her with a stick."

"Mother concubine, don't worry. When the Dongliang people left, Tian Xiang was not taken away. Tian Xiang has already been taken into the East Palace, and the children will interrogate her personally."

The expression on the queen's face was already a little unnatural, "Well, Tian Xiang and other cheap maids, if you need to interrogate yourself, it's better to let the mother concubine find out the truth for you."

"Mother concubine, Erchen felt that this assassination was extraordinary. It was caused by the collusion between the people in the Xichu Palace and the Dongliang Kingdom. Tian Xiang was just a court lady, and she had no reason to murder the children, so the children felt that Tian Xiang There are also messengers behind. Don’t worry, mother and concubine, your son will find out the worst behind the scenes.”

The queen's face was pale, but she couldn't speak anymore.

Chu Ran saluted her and said, "The child minister retires."

In Mingyue Xuan, Qingzi, Cuiqing, and Lu Manman are in a good mood, especially Qingzi. She feels that she has saved the prince and is a hero. Although it is late, she is not sleepy at all and is still talking to Cuiqing. Talking about the details of today's day.

Lu Manman just looked at them with a smile, but Qingzi was talking, but she found something. She turned her head and asked Lu Manman, "Miss, why did you say that palace lady has the queen's waist badge and phoenix seal? His Royal Highness said. Knowing her, then she must be the maid of the queen's side, but why does she want to harm His Royal Highness?"

"Qingzi, I still can't answer your question. But since the prince has already said that it should be handled low-key, then we can't talk about it in front of other people. We can only talk about it when there is no one. , And have a mouthful."

"Miss, we naturally know this. But the feeling of beating bad people is really good. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to teach those bad people with Miss."

"Clear purple, green, and the sword has no eyes. It is fortunate that we were not injured this time. In addition, the time we entered was too short and the attack was unprepared, so that we were barely injured."

Li knocked at the door in the middle of the night, "Manman, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

When Li came in, her complexion was ruddy and her body improved a lot. It seemed that Li and Lu Xiaoran were completely reconciled, and a woman had to be moisturized by love to be more beautiful.

Seeing Li's arrival, Qingzi and Cuiqing said, "Hello, Madam." Then they stepped back.

Lu Manman poured a cup of tea for Li, and she asked, "Mother, you came to see Manman so late, is there anything wrong?"

"Manman, I don’t know why, yesterday the Liu family asked your father for a letter of resignation. Today, she came to me to resign and left. She also said something to thank me for letting go of them. I really don’t understand it. What do you mean."

It seems that Liu and Wan Kong have figured it out, then she should wish them happiness.

"Mother, maybe Aunt Liu saw that you are in love with your father. She figured it out, so she left."

"I used to scold her as a bitch, but I didn't want her to be a bit reluctant after she left."

Lu Manman smiled, "Why don't your mother keep Aunt Liu?"

"Come on, she'd better leave the place. She stays in the Lu Mansion and can only fight with me. And..." Li took out a letter from her sleeve, "This is the Liu family who asked me before leaving. I am thinking about the letter handed to you, but I still intend to hand it to you."

Lu Manman accepted the letter without opening it in a hurry, and after Li gave the letter, he did not intend to leave.

She pulled Lu Manman's hand, "Manman, how is your relationship with Chu Qing?"

"Mother, we are all well."

She approached her, and then whispered, "Chu Qing's child, I am very optimistic, but I only have you as a daughter. Finding your husband for you is very important. I have deliberately inquired about his news during this period of time. You said he is also twenty-four. Why doesn't he even have a concubine, and there is no maid by his side. Manman, tell your mother honestly, is he abnormal?"

"Puff...Mother, you think too much. There is no maid around him, just because he has been in the barracks for a long time. Female family members are not allowed in the barracks. As a general, he must of course set an example."

"Your father told me today that Lu Youran will marry King Chu Huai in less than half a month. As the eldest sister, if you marry after your younger sister, you will get gossip. Your father meant that you and Chu The matter of Qing must be settled as soon as possible."

"Mother, he and I have already agreed that we will get married when my sister gets married."

Li smiled, "That's good."

"By the way, Manman, Lu Youran is about to get married, but her mother died early. Although the old lady was asking him to handle things, she was old after all and she couldn't do some things. Anyway, Lu Youran is also your father's child, I If you do it too terribly, it will be difficult for your father to be caught in the middle. I also figured it out, so we married Lu Youran's gracefulness. Her thoughts are not right, and she will harm the Chuhuai Prince's Mansion in the future. Lu Mansion has nothing to do. Her marriage and the rest, I will take care of the old lady."

Li was afraid that Lu Manman would blame him, so he told her in advance.

She thought about what the Queen did to Chu Ran, and then about Li's treatment of Lu Manman.

The same mother, why is the difference between them so big?

Lu Manman said: "Mother, you can do what you want, Manman can understand."

"That's good. Manman, you rest early. Mother will embroider you a wedding gown during this time."

She remembered that when she had just crossed over, Li asked her to try on her wedding dress. Why did she need to embroider now? Embroidering a wedding gown alone is a lot of work!

Lu Manman said: "Mother, just use the last wedding dress!"

"Where did it make it? That dress is unlucky. I have to embroider a new set."

"Mother, don't tire yourself."

She also relied on the light of the original owner, Lu Manman, that Li's treatment of her really couldn't get better.

After leaving Li, Ouyang Xian brought in a bowl of black medicine. After she finished drinking, Ouyang Xian said, "The prince was attacked during the day?"

"Yes."

"Find out who did it?"

"I only know that one of the people is from Dong Shishui."

"Dong Shishui is sinister and cunning, no matter what he does, it is possible."

"Master, I know. I must be careful not to let him hurt me."

"It's good if you know it. Also, in a few days there will be royal hunting. It was proposed by Dong Shishui. He will definitely move in that hunting. This is the medicine I have already practiced. You should take it first. Now, it might work for you."

Lu Manman opened a few bottles and sniffed them lightly. He was able to distinguish most of the medicinal materials in it. If he studied them carefully, it would not be a problem to make these medicines.

Judging from the materials used in these medicines, there are medicines for wounds and poisons.

Lu Manman said, "Thank you, Master."

"Although you have learned a little bit of detoxification and detoxification, you are not yet proficient. Royal hunting is extraordinary. You can't make mistakes. I hope you live and help me find Bai Xuan."

"Master, rest assured, Manman will naturally live."

"Okay, take a break earlier and leave for the teacher."

After Ouyang Xian left, Lu Manman opened the letter from the Liu family under the blue light.

The approximate meaning of the letter is to thank her for not exposing her and Wankong's affairs, and she will live happily with Wankong in the future.

Lu Manman burned the letter on the blue lantern. She couldn't bear it at the time, so she let Liu clan and Wan Kong go, but she didn't expect that Liu clan had not troubled her because of this, and when she left, she came to thank her. , It seems that not all kindness will be exchanged for donkey liver and lungs.

But anyway, Liu's family was also Lu Xiaoran's concubine. She helped Liu's family and Wan Kong's affairs spread. Where did Lu Xiaoran's face go, so she still chose to burn the letter.

It was getting late, so she cleaned up and fell asleep.

In the East Palace, after Chu Ran came back from Fengqi Palace, he sat in the study and didn't move half a minute.

He walked away all the **** ladies and turned off the lights. In the darkness, Ye Li said, "His Royal Highness, the assassination today is really what the Queen did?"

"Eight or nine are not ten, but this prince does not want that one or two points of uncertainty. This prince has already gone to Fengqi Palace today, and personally told her that the prince only eats in Fengqi Palace, he will not use people to try. Poison. If she really wants to kill the prince, she must do it herself, and the prince must also fall in Fengqi Palace."

"His Royal Highness, this matter is too risky, Your Highness must not do it."

"Ye Li, my fifth brother and mother concubine have always been the source of my efforts, but at this time, my heart seems to be broken."

"His Royal Highness, although Ye Li doesn't understand why the Queen is like this, but if she is really the mother concubine of His Royal Highness, she won't be like this."

"what do you mean……"

"His Royal Highness, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"allow."

The queen, her husband is the sage of Xichu, her son is the prince of Xichu, and her mother is the largest family of Xichu. Why would she collude with Dongliang to murder her own child?

This is something he has been unable to figure out before.

But today, through Ye Li’s call, he has somehow figured it out. If he is not the queen’s child, if the queen had previously let him be in the crown prince just to let him occupy that position and let him block all the dangers for Chu Ye. It was already a very moment, she no longer needed him, so she had to get rid of him and let Chu Ye ascend the position of prince.

If you think about it this way, then everything makes sense.

The old mother next to the queen has been with her for a long time. She should know something!

"Ye Li, from today, you don't have to stay by my side. I want you to sneak into Fengqi Palace to find out what happened."

"Yes."

The person in the darkness disappeared again, without making any expressions, leaving no breath.

Chu Ran squeezed his hand, thinking about his poisoning twelve years ago. Although he was in a coma at the time, he woke up and heard the court ladies and eunuchs describe the matter. At that time, the father was furious and did not listen to any explanation. So he drove Chu Qing out of the capital and beat Concubine Xi into the cold palace.

It seems that at the time, the father was trying to protect someone.
