Dressed as the villain's stepmother

After saying goodbye to King Xiang and his wife, Jiang Lianzhu walked out with mixed emotions. Because she came in to deliver food, she had replaced the person who was originally delivering food, so the number of steamed buns she brought was exactly the same as the number of coarse bran steamed buns usually made for prisoners in the prison. , to prevent the prisoners inside from not being able to eat because of her.

She quickly delivered one bun after another, and when she walked to the man's cell, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Lianzhu stopped by the wall and looked at the man sitting on the straw mat, dawdling with a piece of grass in his mouth, with a sneer on his lips.

Prince Xiang's family was living a miserable life, but this man was quite good. There was no imperfection from top to bottom. He felt as comfortable as if he were a guest, which made people angry.

Jiang Lianzhu quickly found a modern laxative from the arsenal, smeared it on the surface of the steamed buns, then walked out pretending to be nonchalant and threw the steamed buns into the cell.

"Hey! Why is it just a steamed bun? Do you want to starve me to death?" The steamed bun rolled down in front of the man. The man picked it up from the ground and said in an arrogant tone, "Why don't you give me some more!"

Jiang Lianzhu turned a deaf ear and walked away.

How many more?She was afraid of wasting her laxatives.

Seeing that she ignored him, the man cursed rudely behind him. He stood at the cell door and saw her walking away. There was nothing he could do to her. He could only angrily pick up the steamed bun and gnaw it as if to vent his anger, completely treating the steamed bun as a A tool for venting.

The prison chief didn't rush anyone this time. Seeing that Jiang Lianzhu came out faster than last time, he didn't say anything and watched the prisoners leave.

Damn it, he can just mess around if he likes. It seems that he is useless at home. As long as he is not pushed out of his position, he is too lazy to meddle in so many other things.

Jiang Lianzhu came out of the prison, thinking that she had entered the palace as well, so she stopped by to check Concubine Xi's pulse to see if the prescription fit her body.

She went around the path and wanted to sneak in, but she was spotted by a palace attendant in the imperial concubine's palace. She was about to go in to report when she was stopped by Jiang Lianzhu: "Don't bother me, the imperial concubine and I have made an appointment." , she knew I would come."

The palace man had met Jiang Lianzhu several times. When he heard what she said, he nodded with conviction and then went about his own business.

When Jiang Lianzhu walked into the imperial concubine's palace, she suddenly heard whispers coming from inside, and then a burst of laughter rose. Jiang Lianzhu immediately recognized who else was there besides Concubine Xi.

The third prince was talking to Concubine Xi, and they were laughing together. Mother and son were getting along very happily.

She paused for a moment, then took back the foot she was about to take, turned around calmly, and left.

Whatever, she might as well wait and see.If you disturb him at this time, it will arouse the suspicion of the third prince.

After walking out of the imperial concubine's palace, Jiang Lianzhu was still a little hesitant.She looked down at the jailer uniform she was wearing, sighed, and went directly to the courtyard where the young eunuch had taken her to before.

This courtyard is located in a remote place and seems to have been uninhabited for a long time, making it look very desolate.And the little eunuch was holding a small broom and sweeping the snow on the ground conscientiously.

"What are your orders, young lady?" Hearing the movement, the young eunuch raised his eyes and asked immediately when he saw Jiang Lianzhu walking towards the yard.

"Help me find a set of clothes to change into." Jiang Lianzhu pointed to the jailer's uniform she was wearing, "A more ordinary material will be fine."

The little eunuch nodded to express his understanding: "Girl, please wait here for a moment."

He said, walked into the house with a broom, and soon came out again, holding simple clothes in his hand.

"Girl, just go inside and change."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded, took the clothes and stuffed a piece of broken silver into the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch was surprised, but he did not refuse. He collected the broken silver and continued to clean the yard.

After Jiang Lianzhu changed her clothes, she packed up her clothes and prepared to leave with her things.

"Hey, if the girl is not going to leave the palace right away, why not give her things to the slave, and the slave can help the girl directly deliver the things to the palace gate." Seeing that she was about to leave with her things in such a rude manner, the little eunuch's eyebrows flashed. A little helpless.

Jiang Lianzhu was naturally happy. After all, it was inconvenient to go to the East Palace with these things. She immediately handed the things to the young eunuch: "Thank you very much, father-in-law."

After that, she walked towards the East Palace.

When the guards of the East Palace saw her, they asked a few questions as usual, and then went in to report.After a while, a handsome and elegant figure came out. When he saw Jiang Lianzhu, he smiled: "Mom, you are here."

Class at Taixue was over, and Liao Xiaoping had just returned, so he immediately took Jiang Lianzhu to his room.

Liao Xiaoping's house is clean and tidy. Although there are no furnishings in the house, it has excellent lighting and is close to the main hall of the East Palace. There is also a small bamboo forest planted outside the house. It is indescribably elegant, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to Liao Xiaoping.

"How are you lately? Are you recovering?" Jiang Lianzhu sat down in the room.

"The child's body and bones are good. He will be fine after a few days of nursing." Liao Xiaoping poured her a cup of hot tea and sat down across from her. His brows wrinkled unconsciously, "It's just that after the last poisoning, the prince... My health is getting worse, and I often vomit blood recently, which makes the child feel uncomfortable."

As he spoke, he sighed unconsciously: "In the past, the prince often coughed, but now he does often see blood. However, he checks and studies every day without stopping. He is a rare diligent person, but this is not good for him. Cultivation, no matter how hard you try to persuade me, the child is never willing to listen."

Liao Xiaoping had a good relationship with the prince, and Jiang Lianzhu understood it, otherwise she would not have chosen to stay in the palace that day because she was worried about the prince's health.

Seeing the worry and discomfort in his brows, Jiang Lianzhu sighed softly and advised him: "Everyone has his own destiny. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal. There will be times when old age, death or serious illness will occur. There is nothing we can do. Since the prince can't If he is willing to cultivate himself and insists on studying, it also shows that he has a sense of proportion in his heart."

The prince was originally sick and weak from his mother's womb. If he was cared for carefully, he could live for a few more years.But this poisoning had obviously severely damaged his body.

Now that it's a foregone conclusion, it's better to follow him and do what he wants to do, and live a comfortable and happy life in the last time.

"The child also knows this truth, but when he thinks of that possibility, he can't accept it." Liao Xiaoping's eyes were slightly red, "These days, the emperor also sent the imperial doctor to live in the East Palace, for fear that the prince would fall ill at any time, and everyone would be able to feel the prince's illness. I’m not in good health.”

"You and the prince are good friends. You have been by his side to accompany him on his journey when he needed it. I think he has no regrets in his heart." Jiang Lianzhu smiled slightly, feeling a little sour in his heart.
