Dressed as the villain's stepmother

After meeting General Cheng Xu, Jiang Lianzhu returned home.

Liao Yunchuan, who was traveling with her, secretly went directly to the Six Gates. Before, he asked Jiang Lianzhu to send those people to the Six Gates, but Yang Fei wanted Liao Yunchuan to interrogate them.

Lihua Garden.

As soon as Jiang Lianzhu got off the carriage, Xiao Quan ran over.

"Madam, the eldest son has returned from the palace. Your Majesty asked the palace eunuch to personally bring him back to the palace."

"Okay, will you give the eunuch a reward?"

The emperor sent an internal eunuch to personally escort Liao Xiaoping back to his home, which was a courtesy given by the royal family.

"Madam, don't worry, 50 taels of silver have been sealed."

Madoka Koizumi is already smart. After staying with Jiang Renzhu for so long, she still has the ability to observe the words and expressions of people who come to her door.

"Where's the vial man?"

"The eldest young master is in the study now."

"I'll go see him."

Although Jiang Lianzhu liked her son's diligence, Liao Xiaoping had been standing in front of the mourning hall during the days when the prince was buried. The death of her friend was already sad. In addition, Liao Xiaoping had not been able to eat or sleep well these days, so she was worried about Dabao's health.

Inside the study.

As expected, Liao Xiaoping was reading quietly.

"Son, mother knows that you work hard, but we don't have to rush. Now that we are home, let's take a good rest and eat something."

Jiang Lianzhu brought the food prepared by Xiaoquan Xiaoyuan in front of her son, poured a bowl of soup for Dabao with her own hands and placed it beside the desk.

"Thank you, mother, but I can't eat it."

Liao Xiaoping looked at the soup bowl in front of him and finally shook his head.

Jiang Lianzhu was worried about Dabao, so she sat directly in the study room and prepared to provide some psychological counseling to her son.

"Son, I want to ask you, do you still miss the prince?"

"Ah."

Liao Xiaoping nodded.

"Mom, the prince has always been very kind to his son. When he was in the East Palace, the prince would help his son answer questions when he didn't understand something in his studies. When he was free, his son would also tell the prince about things in our hometown. The prince did not dislike his son. Not only that, he also envied his son's life, which made his son feel that if the prince had not passed away, he would have been a wise king who could care for the people when he grew up."

Liao Xiaoping was full of regrets for the prince.

Because he had been the prince's companion these days, he had personally seen every move of the prince.

"The prince envies you?"

Jiang Lianzhu knew that Dabao now needed someone to talk to, and as a mother, she would play this role today.

"Well, the prince said you were very kind to me, mother, and this reminded him of the late queen often."

"He said that the late Queen was a particularly good mother. Not only did she take good care of herself in life, she was also literate and had a heart for the world."

"When the prince was so excited, he took his son to the palace where the late queen's relics were stored. There, the son saw boxes of books left by the late queen to the prince. Moreover, all of those books had annotations. With the prince's kindness Your Excellency, my son has also opened it and looked at it, and the comments on Lan Xinhuizhi written by the late Queen are no less generous than those of the Master."

"My son cannot let go of the passing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time."

"The biggest reason is that the prince obviously has his own concerns. He has always hoped to create a world where both men and women can read and write. As a scholar, his son, with the support of his mother, has come step by step to where he is today. However, there are many people in the world who do not have sons. With this luck, I really hope to see the peaceful and prosperous age of Haiyan and Heqing that His Highness the Crown Prince talks about."

Liao Xiaoping has always been full of regrets about the death of His Royal Highness.

Jiang Lianzhu listened quietly, and then reached out to stroke the top of Liao Xiaoping's hair. It must be said that His Highness the Crown Prince's ideals are indeed very exciting.

Unfortunately, the Sri Lankan has passed away.

"Son, although the prince has passed away, you are his good friend and you are still living well in this world. If you really miss his ideal, how about you realize it for him?"

Carry on the last wish.

This is also a way to remember your friends.

"Mom, that's what my son thinks! I am not the prince's reading companion now, but I will use my own efforts and take the imperial examination to make the era that His Highness hopes come true bit by bit!"

Liao Xiaoping did not expect that Jiang Lianzhu coincided with what he thought.

Her eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, which was very dazzling. Jiang Lianzhu could see that Dabao had made a serious decision, so she respected her child's choice.

"Mom, I won't stop you from going forward and studying, but you have to know that people are like rice and steel, and you have to eat no matter what."

"mother."

After pouring out his thoughts to Jiang Lianzhu, Liao Xiaoping felt much better, so he drank the soup brought by Jiang Lianzhu.

"Son, starting from tomorrow, my mother will go to the palace to beat drums and plead grievances. This matter is as important as your fulfilling the prince's last wish. Before that, my mother has something to entrust to you. Can you do it?"

After seeing Dabao eating and feeling better, Jiang Lianzhu discussed the next steps with her child.

"Mom, do you want your son to take care of your younger siblings?"

Liao Xiaoping was so smart that he naturally understood what Jiang Lianzhu said.

"Well, you are already a big child. Mom knows that you are a man who can be trusted. Xiao An's personality is reckless, and Xiao Le is too young, so Mom will only tell you."

It's a big deal to beat a drum and complain.

It was very dangerous to sue the prime minister, so just in case, Jiang Lianzhu explained it to her children in advance.

How could Liao Xiaoping not understand the strange situation in the court?

He grabbed Jiang Lianzhu's clothes.

"Mom, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters, but you must also promise me to live well."

"it is good."

After the mother and son had a good discussion, that night, the Zhenbei Houfu personally sent his trusted aides to pick up all three children.

This is to allow Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan to have no worries.

Although Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole were puzzled, they had been living in Zhenbeihou during this period and the place was familiar to them, so they were not suspicious.

Late at night.

Liao Yunchuan just came back from the six doors.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, she was in the study, planning how to use the evidence in her hand to fire the first shot tomorrow.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"No, I left a midnight snack in the kitchen, and I'll bring it to you."

Seeing Liao Yunchuan returning with his eyes on the moon, Jiang Lianzhu stood up and wanted to get something to eat for him, and then discovered Tao Zi behind Liao Yunchuan.

"Shopkeeper, it's my fault."

Taozi knelt directly on the ground. Ever since Jiang Lianzhu rescued her and her brother in Qianshui Village, Taozi had always wanted to see Jiang Lianzhu.

"I shouldn't have told the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion what I overheard about Prince Xue Yin's route while you and Princess Xiang were serving porridge. It was me who was greedy for money and framed Zhongliang. Boss, I really know that I was wrong. Please Please forgive me!"

Jiang Lianzhu looked at the peach on the ground, and for a moment she didn't know what to do. .
