Back on my wedding night, my husband sent me to the nine-thousand-year-old bed

Li Jue nodded.

Dongfang Yanran looked at the dark sky. Although she didn't understand government affairs, she was quickly thinking about the situation in various countries during this period of time.

Her eyes suddenly shrank: "Is it Longxi?"

Li Jue looked at his leg, which he had pretended to be lame for a long time, and said softly: "The other party's ambition was exposed more than ten years ago, so this battle will have to be fought sooner or later."

Unlike his father, the emperor would not leave such a hot potato to future generations.

Dongfang Yanran knew Li Jue too well and saw the eagerness in his eyes. She asked suspiciously: "Isn't it possible that you will also want to go to the battlefield by then?"

Of course Li Jue thought that he was originally a military commander and had been in the army for most of his life. If Xiao Yu hadn't plotted against him and injured his leg, he wouldn't have been sitting in a wheelchair for so many years.

But now he still enjoys pretending to have leg pain and having his sweet-smelling princess support him. He shook his head, "How am I going to go? Do I need someone to carry me there? Although I can walk, that's it. If I go, I will be helped." The army is causing chaos."

Dongfang Yanran felt relieved after hearing this.

**

Lin Wanying was summoned to the palace to accompany the empress, and then left General Gu alone in the palace.

On the surface, I dare not say anything wrong with the Queen, but after court, when I go to a restaurant to drink with other colleagues, I will inevitably make a few complaints.

These 'complaints' reached Shen Yubai's ears smoothly through many channels.

Shen Yubai knew that the opportunity had come!

He immediately sent a message to Zheng Xiran and asked her to find a way to let Mu Guangyu invite Gu Entai into the house for a drink!

Zheng Xiran burned the note with shaking hands, but she was a little uneasy.

This kind of thing has been done to the emperor once before. Not only did it fail, she was also sent to a nunnery.

Now that I have finally come back, I have to do this kind of thing again... What if I fail?

Also, what if Gu Entai is a drunkard and he really takes the opportunity to do something to her?

The more important the matter became, the more Zheng Xiran could not make up his mind.

At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door open and came in. Zheng Xiran, who was already uneasy, suddenly cursed in a sharp voice: "Are your hooves tight? Didn't you remember to knock on the door when you entered my lady's room? "

After she finished cursing, she realized that it was her mother Zheng who opened the door and walked in.

Zheng Xiran: "..."

Zheng frowned, "Xiran, it's me, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Xiran: "I, I'm fine. It's because a maid stole my headdress before, and I found out about it, so she was very angry."

Ms. Zheng also knew that her daughter was definitely not scolding her.

But she looked at her uneasy daughter and suddenly said: "Xiran, is there something you are hiding from your mother?"

Zheng Xiran shook his head subconsciously.

Mrs. Zheng had a difficult pregnancy this time. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and she neglected her daughter. But she knew her daughter best. Now that she saw it, there was nothing she didn't understand!

There was a hint of sternness in her voice, "Xiran, do you know that mother and daughter have always been dependent on each other, and it's not easy. I am pregnant now, and I am still planning for you, but you are hiding something from me?"

During these days, Mrs. Zheng hoped that her daughter would find a good home in the future, so she naturally contacted many noble ladies from aristocratic families and met some unmarried young men from aristocratic families.

When he mentioned this matter, Zheng Xiran suddenly became very angry, "You still have the nerve to mention this matter? Why, you are going to be the duchess of the country soon, but you want me to marry those fifth- and sixth-grade officials!"? Zheng was so angry that her daughter made her stomach hurt. "What do you mean by a fifth-grade or sixth-grade official? They are all legitimate sons with good family backgrounds. Even if they are not the eldest son and cannot succeed in the title, they still have official positions and their future is unlimited! Xiran, After all, you are not the master’s biological daughter, you are just an adopted daughter.”

"So I can't marry any better, right?" Zheng Xiran suddenly had a flash of evil thoughts in her heart. She touched her belly and said, "Mother, I do have something to hide from you, that is, I am already pregnant. The flesh and blood of His Highness!"

Zheng was stunned, "What is it, Your Highness?"

Now His Majesty has no other brothers, and the late Emperor has no second brother. As for the other royal family members, no one can be called Second Highness.

Looking at her confused mother, Zheng Xiran was very proud. She added, "Of course it is the second prince of Longxi Kingdom, Murong Wenduo. Oh, by the way, he is already the crown prince of Longxi Kingdom and will inherit the throne in the future! "

Zheng thought hard for a long time before she remembered who Murong Wenduo was. She was so angry that she had a stomachache this time.

"Xiran, you are stupid, it doesn't matter if he is the prince, he is a proton after all!"

"Mother, I know he is a proton, but that is temporary. He will go back to inherit the throne in the future!"

Ms. Zheng felt that this matter was unreliable, and her daughter was so angry that her stomach hurt. She was so frightened that Zheng Xiran hurried over to help her, and after taking a few breaths, she calmed down a little.

Looking at her helpless daughter, Mrs. Zheng finally sighed.

"That's all. If you fall in love with His Highness, I won't stop you. It's just that his current status is embarrassing. If you marry him, you won't have to endure hardships."

That sounds nice, he is the crown prince of Longxi Kingdom.

But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was a prisoner!

Zheng Xiran shook her head. She looked around, then leaned into her mother Zheng's ear and told her about her plan to blame Gu Entai.

Mrs. Zheng clutched her stomach and fell down on the chair, her face pale.

"Xiran, you, you are confused! Ah, my stomach hurts so much!"

Seeing the cold sweat on his mother's forehead rolling down one by one, Zheng Xiran hurriedly called the doctor, which naturally alarmed Mu Guangyu.

Zheng had suffered a lot when she was young, and because of her advanced age, this pregnancy has been unstable since the diagnosis. Today, when her daughter stimulated her, she even blushed.

Fortunately, it was saved for the time being.

Zheng Xiran was also startled and did not dare to move forward. He returned to his room and kept tossing and turning all night long.

But the next day, after Mu Guangyu went to court, she secretly visited her mother and said with red eyes, "Mom, I didn't mean to do it."

Zheng's face didn't look good, but fortunately, everything happened last night without incident. She looked at her daughter with red eyes and clutched her belly uneasily, knowing that there was no room for maneuver in the matter.

After all, Ms. Zheng felt sorry for her daughter.

"Xiran, mother can help you make this happen. However, if everything goes well and you marry into the Gu family, you will have to live peacefully with General Gu."

Zheng Xiran was stunned, "Mother?"

Zheng said coldly: "Then Murong Wenduo is a prisoner. He said that when he returns to Longxi, he will give you a status. When can he go back? What if he can't go back in this life? Then Gu Entai is His Majesty He has a close confidant and military power, and the personnel in his house are simple. The only thing is that he already has a legal wife. When the time comes, let your adoptive father try to get some maneuvers to see if he can make you his wife. "

She looked at her unwilling daughter again and said earnestly: "Xi Ran, in my mother's opinion, even being General Gu's common wife is far more reliable than following the second prince!"
