"Cold poison?" Bei Ming Yulan was surprised. "Ninth Uncle, when did you get the cold poison? How come Lan'er didn't know about it?"
Concubine Tong really didn't like Bei Ming Yulan. Without thinking, she retorted, "Why should you know? You are not related to my son."
"Me!" Bei Ming Yulan said with a look of grievance, "He is my Ninth Uncle. Of course, Lan'er cares about him. Grandma Tong, why do you hate Lan'er so much? Lan'er believes she has never offended you."
"Hmph! Don't be so sentimental." Concubine Tong didn't even bother to hide her dislike for Bei Ming Yulan. "I don't even bother to waste my dislike on you."
"..." Bei Ming Yulan had never been treated so harshly before. She looked at Bei Ming Xuan with tears in her eyes, and then at Concubine Tong.
If it were someone else, Bei Ming Yulan would have retorted long ago, but this person happened to be the Ninth Prince's biological mother, and the person the Ninth Prince cared about the most.
Concubine Tong didn't understand why Bei Ming Xuan said that in front of Bei Ming Yulan. She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to speak easily and say anything.
So he just asked some irrelevant questions, "Xuan'er, how is your health right now? If you are really feeling unwell, don't try to be strong. It would be better to wait a few more days until you feel better before setting off to the South Country. What do you say, Chang'an?"
"Mother, don't worry." Chang'an replied, "This time, in addition to going to the Southern Kingdom, Chang'an and the prince plan to go to the Zuoshi Kingdom."
"Zuo Shiguo?" Concubine Tong was surprised. "What are you going there for?"
"The prince can't stand the cold, so it's not a good idea to keep doing this." Chang'an glanced at Bei Mingxuan and continued, "Chang'an heard that Ximen Yan, the prince of Zuo Shi Kingdom, is very knowledgeable about pharmacology. Chang'an also heard that Ximen Yan's master, the Ghost Doctor, went to stay with Ximen Yan in Zuo Shi Kingdom last month and stayed there until New Year's Eve. So, Chang'an and the prince plan to go to Zuo Shi Kingdom first to pay a visit to the Ghost Doctor and Ximen Yan, and then go to the Southern Kingdom to pay a visit to my grandfather."
"Xuan'er, your mother has never heard you mention it before." Concubine Tong raised her hand and wanted to grab Bei Mingxuan.
"Mother, this matter was just decided by my son and Chang'an last night. Didn't I come to tell you early in the morning?" Bei Mingxuan understood what Chang'an meant, and he also felt that Chang'an's decision was a good one. In this way, he could see clearly who those people were who were plotting against him.
Presumably it was because of this that Chang'an deliberately mentioned going to Zuo Shiguo in front of Bei Ming Yulan.
When Bei Ming Yulan knew about this, the Qin family would definitely know about it. If there were other people, it would be easy to figure out who the Grand Tutor Qin was cooperating with.
"Ninth Prince, please don't scare Lan'er." Bei Ming Yulan's voice was filled with tears. "Lan'er has always played with Ninth Prince. She never knew you were infected with the cold poison. You must have been joking with Lan'er."
Chang'an glanced at Fu Cheng with an angry look. She knew very well that some things were not suitable for her to say, especially the relationship between Bei Mingxuan and Bei Ming Yulan. Not to mention what Bei Mingxuan was thinking, Bei Ming Yulan alone was not an easy person to deal with.
Moreover, from the moment the emperor granted the marriage, Bei Ming Yulan had already regarded herself as an opponent, so she would think twice about everything that came out of her mouth. It would be better to let Bei Ming Xuan's most trusted subordinate say it.
"Princess Lan." Fu Cheng caught Chang'an's gaze and glanced at it, "You've been close to my prince since you were young. When has he ever lied to you? Besides, can't you tell from his expression?"
"Who is so cruel as to want to harm my Ninth Uncle?" Bei Ming Yulan, who had been holding back her tears, burst into tears the moment she heard Fu Cheng's words. "I'm going to tell Grandpa Huang about this. If I find out who did it, I'll tear that person into pieces!"
"Haha!" Concubine Tong sneered, "Princess Lan, you're being nice. What if the person who poisoned you was your father? Would you tear him into pieces too?"
Bei Ming Magnolia "..."
Bei Mingxuan “!!!”
Changan “……!”
It is a blessing to have such a mother who can argue with you.
Chang'an walked to Concubine Tong and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. A stream of internal force passed through Chang'an's palms into Concubine Tong's body, and Concubine Tong's irritable heart instantly calmed down a lot.
If you look closely at Concubine Tong's lips, you can see a calm and composed expression. She patted Chang'an's hand on her shoulder and said, "Thank you," in a voice that only Chang'an could hear.
When he spoke to Bei Ming Yulan again, he no longer had the anger he had just now, "Princess Lan, you have to listen carefully, what I said just now was if, 'if' your father was the one who poisoned him, so you don't have to panic.
However, to be fair, everyone, including your father, and even all the princes and concubines in the harem, may poison your ninth uncle.
You grew up in the royal family, so you must be familiar with those dirty things. To win favor and status, you will do anything."
"Grandma Tong, are you saying that someone murdered the Ninth Prince for the throne?" Bei Ming Yulan found it unbelievable.
"What do you think?" Tong Fei had a cold face and stopped talking. She did it on purpose.
Bei Mingxuan, Chang'an, and even Fu Cheng, no one was unaware that Concubine Tong's words were intended to mislead Bei Ming Yulan.
When Bei Ming Yulan came to her senses, Concubine Tong had already returned to the inner room to rest.
"Ninth Uncle." Bei Ming Yulan's face was filled with tears, and she looked aggrieved. She threw herself directly into Bei Ming Xuan's arms, "How could this happen? How could this happen? Lan'er will not let anything happen to the Ninth Uncle."
Chang'an, who was standing aside, had a smile on his face and looked like he was enjoying a good show as he watched Bei Ming Yulan throw herself into Bei Ming Xuan's arms and cry.
Especially when Bei Mingxuan turned to look at Chang'an, the smile on Chang'an's face became even brighter, and the dance in his eyes was so obvious.
As if to say, Congratulations on having a beautiful woman in your arms! Beautiful woman in your arms!
Bei Mingxuan sneered in his heart. Gu Changan, you want to watch the fire from the other side of the river. I won't let you have your wish. "Princess, Lan'er is crying like this, and you are still sitting there drinking tea. How can you be so rude?"
Although he said this, he had no intention of pushing Bei Ming Yulan away.
Chang'an curled her lips, completely unconcerned. With a carefree expression, she swallowed her tea in one gulp, then slowly put down the teacup and walked towards Bei Mingxuan. "Princess Lan, your Ninth Uncle told me to advise you not to cry in his arms. You are his niece, not his woman. Doing so is against the rules."
"You say it's against the rules, so what?" Bei Ming Yulan retorted without even looking up, "What's it got to do with you? I just like being in the arms of the Ninth Prince, so what?"
Chang'an blinked at Bei Mingxuan, a fleeting smile flashing across his face like the warm winter sun. Then he turned serious, and if you listened carefully, there was even a hint of sweetness in his voice. "That's true. However, what would you do if your Ninth Prince was accused of being disrespectful and molesting his own niece?"
