Xiao Nuo's words brought An Ranyue back to her senses. She stroked her belly and frowned, "Don't worry about others first. How is the Thousand Gold Saint Hand I asked you to find?"
"He has gone out of the capital to treat patients, and I don't know when he will be back. However, I have left a deposit for their medical clinic. He will notify us immediately when he returns. When he comes back, he will check you carefully. There is no need to suspect what is going on all day long." Xiao Nuo sighed and handed the tea to her. "In fact, Concubine, our status in the palace is not bad now. It is much better than when we were in the general's palace. At that time, An Yanran suppressed us in everything. Now, except Lei Yuezhu, the others are relatively honest. Lei Yuezhu has a hot temper, but it seems that she is a straightforward person and not vicious..."
"Are you trying to say that I don't know how lucky I am now?" An Ranyue's reaction was still quick.
Xiao Nuo sighed, "Princess, how can you say that you don't know how lucky you are? You are obviously a very lucky person, you know it, and I know it too."
She helped her onto the bed as she spoke, coaxing her like a child. She had been suffering from insomnia for many nights recently. Xiao Nuo knew her best. Once she had insomnia, she would be in very bad spirits the next day and would cry and become irritable for no reason. She was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it and go crazy.
On a day like this, to be honest, what she just said about being blessed was really nonsense. If this was a blessed day, then people in the world really don't have to envy the blessed people.
An Ranyue drank the calming tea and fell asleep quickly.
Xiao Nuo stood on the steps, looking at the spring outside. She couldn't help but stretch. Why are there so many miserable people in such a beautiful spring?
The sound of laughter came from afar. It might be Madam Yun listening to opera again. She loved listening to opera the most. The little princess also loved listening to opera the most. It was inevitable that such a young child liked the hustle and bustle.
It doesn't matter whether she understands or not, what matters is the appearance...
************
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Qin Xiangning frowned and looked at the magnolia in front of her, saying, "It's this season, the magnolia should have fallen, but it hasn't. I don't know what the sign is."
Dongfang Yan, who was standing next to him, took a look and said, "What sign? Isn't it because the wind is not strong enough?"
Dongfang Yan had a disdainful expression on his face. After saying this, he looked up at the sky. The sky was unusually blue. There was only a white cloud in the distance, floating there leisurely, as if it was very idle.
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but look twice more. At this time, the little maid behind him came forward and gently called "Princess".
Qin Xiangning turned her head and looked at her blankly. The little maid gave her a look, and Qin Xiangning seemed to understand something. She said something to Dongfang Yan and left.
Walking very fast.
As he walked, he asked, "Doctor Wu is here?"
"Yes, Doctor Wu is waiting in the front hall. He was in a hurry when he said he was in a hurry to get back to the clinic."
Qin Xiangning nodded. Ever since she had miscarried her last child, she didn't know what had happened to her. Now her body was getting weaker day by day, and even her periods were irregular. There were several times when she thought she was pregnant again, but it turned out not to be. She felt a little impatient.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yan's heart has not been on women recently, otherwise, the maids around him might be taken into his room by him, and that would cause him even more trouble.
After seeing the doctor and examining her, he told her some problems, but fortunately they were not serious. He just prescribed some medicine and told her to take good care of herself.
Qin Xiangning was a little worried because several doctors before her had said the same thing. However, there was no movement in her stomach and she couldn't help but suspect that these doctors might just be comforting her.
Now that war is raging everywhere, the Ning Wang Mansion is still peaceful. She just doesn't know when such days will suddenly end. She is not prepared at all. Her brother Qin Jianren came to her two days ago and asked about their position. Dongfang Yan ignored her brother at all. Obviously, her brother is a waste in his eyes. When she thought of this, she couldn't help but hate An Qingran.
Now that she is missing, she is secretly happy and cursing her, hoping that she is dead.
But An Qingran's tenacious vitality will not be weakened by the curse. After her rebirth, she has experienced the pain of marrow cleansing, so she is not easily defeated.
At this moment, she was holding her child in the yard to bask in the sun. The warm sunlight shone on her body. She squinted her eyes. The little one in her arms babbled a few times. She didn't know what he was saying, but the sound made her feel more certain that they would definitely go back.
The maids around also came forward to tease Xiaobao. An Qingran hugged the children tightly in her arms, but did not stop them from enjoying themselves. The maids laughed even happier than Xiaobao. For a moment, the yard was filled with laughter, which made the guards at the door a little dazed, not understanding what was going on.
An Qingran looked at the sky in the distance, wondering what Dongfang Jin was doing now. Was he thinking about them mother and son?
In fact, Dongfang Jin, who was lying on the ground in the grass at this moment, seemed to sense An Qingran's call. He tilted his body, covered his chest, and gritted his teeth: "Qingqing, you must hold on and wait for me."
The Queen Mother has issued an ultimatum, and tomorrow is the last day to provide any news. They have been lying in ambush in the forest for most of the day. Ahead is the territory of Prince Shou. Dongfang Jin is lying in ambush here, intending to catch the suspect, but there is no movement after waiting for a long time.
He couldn't wait any longer and stood up: "I'll go take a look ahead."
"Prince, you can't do that. We have already sent out our brothers and will get news soon." The assassins behind him tried to stop him.
Dongfang Jin said calmly with a sullen face: "Let's follow the second plan now. We can't wait any longer. No one is allowed to stop me. If I don't come back, you will take the news back."
"Prince, this is absolutely not possible." Everyone gathered around him.
Dongfang Jin looked around and smiled faintly: "Don't you even listen to what this prince says? Listen to my orders, one team is on guard, and the others return to their teams!"
Those people wanted to say something else, but when they saw Dongfang Jin's expression, they swallowed their words back.
They all knew the prince's temper. Although he seemed gentle at ordinary times, in fact, no one else could change his decisions.
But how could they feel at ease letting the prince take the risk alone? Finally, Dongfang Jin took out the token, and those people slowly withdrew, watching the prince walk into the enemy area alone.
Dongfang Jin walked on the official road as if he was strolling in a garden. In the past, the official road was very busy with people coming and going, but now it was so desolate that weeds grew there. Only one or two wild dogs flashed by occasionally and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Dongfang Jin continued to walk at a leisurely pace, for he knew that this was already Prince Shou's territory.
After the last war, there were constant small battles, but none of them could reach the position of their rear leaders.
Dongfang Jin's silver robe gleamed white in the sunlight, and he looked like a fairy walking out of the woods, so eye-catching that the Shou Wang soldiers hiding in the woods rushed out hastily, surrounded him, and captured the prince, achieving a remarkable feat.
Looking at the weapons flashing coldly around him, Dongfang Jin said calmly, "I want to see the Queen Mother."
The soldiers hesitated, and some ran to the back to investigate, but did not find anyone following them. Did the prince come here alone to persuade people to surrender, or to die?
They don't care.
They rushed to the palace to embrace the prince.
Dongfang Run was not there at that time as he was looking for An Qingran, but Lou Wanyue was not concerned about state affairs and no one informed her.
What's more, the Queen Mother's residence led directly to the outside, so those people came with Dongfang Jin.
Hearing that Dongfang Jin was coming alone, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Well, since you are here, please come in."
Dongfang Jin walked in tall, and when he saw the Queen Mother, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandmother."
A faint smile was on her face, as if they had never fallen out with each other, as if he was a virtuous grandson and she was a loving grandmother.
The Queen Mother also smiled. She looked at Dongfang Jin with a smile that grew wider and wider: "Are you here to hand in the letter of surrender?"
Dongfang Jin shook his head: "My father is also the son of the late emperor, and the eldest son. It is not wrong for the country to belong to my father. I just don't understand why the queen mother is so upset?"
"The eldest son? The two children were born at almost the same time, who can tell who is the eldest son?" The queen mother smiled coldly.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager also said that she couldn't tell the difference, so there is no evidence to prove that Uncle Shou is the eldest son, right?" Dongfang Jin seized the loophole in the Empress Dowager's words.
"This means that Prince Shou is not the eldest son. However, since ancient times, the throne has been passed down to the eldest son rather than the eldest son. Prince Shou is my son. It is only natural for him to inherit the throne." The empress dowager did not notice at all. She still called him Prince Shou, which meant she acknowledged Emperor Yunqi's status as an emperor.
But no one cares about these details now.
Dongfang Jin nodded slightly. "My father has been on the throne for so many years. He has always been filial to the Queen Mother, diligent in state affairs, friendly with neighbors, and the people live in peace. Even if he has not made great achievements, he has definitely not made any mistakes. Moreover, Uncle Shou is also a quiet person. I think all this is the intention of the Royal Grandmother. I really don't know how my grandmother would face the late emperor if she were to pass away."
This sentence touched the Queen Mother's sore spot. She stared at Dongfang Jin with a cold face and said, "Are you here today to die?"
"I have always called you my grandmother since I was a child. Although I didn't know why you didn't like us at that time, I have no other grandmother in my heart, and it's the same now." Dongfang Jin sighed, "Having come to this point today, is this really what the grandmother wants to see?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me your decision. Will you give up the throne or not?" The Queen Mother was very unhappy with his questioning, but she was also willing to continue the topic, and her voice became stern.
"It is really what the Empress Dowager meant." Dongfang Jin was calm and looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile, "Grandmother, if you lead the troops back to the palace now, my father will give up the past grudges and pretend that nothing happened. He will still respect you as the Empress Dowager, and Uncle Shou's title will not change at all. How do you think?"
