i want to marry a princess

Because of Lu Jinyan's remarks, Sai Lu left in a hurry, but Lu Jinyan and Guo Chan also became the focus of public opinion because of this, which seemed a bit overwhelming, so the two also left in a hurry.

On the way back to the princess mansion, Lu Jinyan did not forget what happened in the general's mansion today.

"Achan, why did General Ling seek you earlier?"

Back then, the matter of retiring from the marriage could be regarded as Guo Chan's downfall, forcing old general Ling to submit, so Lu Jinyan was always worried that old general Ling would settle accounts later, so he was faintly worried when he heard that she was going to see old general Ling.

Guo Chan was taken aback, she didn't expect Lu Jinyan to remember this.

Lu Jinyan was familiar with Guo Chan, and when he saw her like this, he knew something was wrong, but he could also see the embarrassed look on her face.

"Forget it, as long as it doesn't threaten your safety."

Although Lu Jinyan spoke calmly, Guo Chan could still hear a touch of loneliness in her words.She quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I sincerely say, but I don't even understand it now."

Lu Jinyan was surprised.

Guo Chan said again: "Old General Ling came to me today to ask me to conceal Nian'er's identity. If someone knew Nian'er's true identity, it would not be easy for her to be Mrs. Ling in the future. Thank you for Qi Ping'an's return to the mansion. As for San... Old General Ling wants me to take care of the general's mansion more in the future."

Lu Jinyan couldn't help being surprised that General Ling would drag Guo Chan to take care of the general's mansion!

Guo Chan had no choice but to say, "Maybe people will do this when they get old, paving the way for future generations. Although the Ling family has a high reputation in the army, Ling Qi's experience is not enough to shock everyone, let alone this time... Ling Qi was captured, although this The news has not been made public, but in fact several ministers in the court know that this incident will inevitably be criticized by Ling Qi in the future."

Speaking of this, Guo Chan frowned slightly, "It's just..."

"how?"

"I always feel that Old General Ling is weird today." Maybe she was thinking too much, Guo Chan shook her head.

Lu Jinyan always felt that these words were like last words, but saying these words on a happy day in the Ling Mansion was like a curse, so she didn't say it.

Thinking of another matter, Lu Jinyan turned around and said: "Then what happened to Sailu, I can see that you were very angry when you came back."

The implication is to let Guo Chan not deceive her.

Guo Chan gritted her teeth helplessly and said, "That guy stopped me from talking nonsense, I really hate it!"

Sai Lu fell in love with her, and it was impossible to stop people and insult her. All he could say was confession. Thinking of Sai Lu's high-sounding appearance, Lu Jinyan also felt a cloud of anger in his heart.

"It's still some time before the queen mother's birthday, I think he might still have ulterior motives!" Lu Jinyan couldn't help worrying, her two weddings were half a month earlier than the queen mother's birthday, just in case something happened.

Guo Chan said at this time: "I have a good way to deal with him!"

Lu Jinyan asked with his eyes, and Guo Chan smiled and said, "Don't reveal the secret!"

Lu Jinyan reminded: "Proceed carefully, and don't get angry."

After all, the two countries are currently negotiating peace. If there is something wrong with Seru here, I am afraid that it will lead to a new war, and those people who have just enjoyed comfort will suffer again.

"Don't worry, I don't need to do this myself." Guo Chan was confident.

At this time, the two of them would never have thought that after five days, the two of them would come to the General's Mansion again.

But at this time, the red matter has become a white matter.

Ling Qi and Nian'er were dressed in plain clothes, and in the middle of the mourning hall was General Ling's coffin.

The news that everyone got was that General Ling passed away suddenly last night from an old illness.

Many people came to express their condolences. Guo Chan and Lu Jinyan happened to meet Wu Sicai and Li Yuan when they came.

Several people went up to burn incense for Old General Ling. When Lu Jinyan passed by Ling Qi, he saw that he looked downcast, his eyes were black, and his only elder had passed away. He thought he was hit hard.

Lu Jinyan couldn't help but comforted him and said, "General Ling, the deceased has passed away, please express my condolences."

Ling Qi raised his head upon hearing the sound, his eyes were empty and cold.

Lu Jinyan was taken aback, feeling that something was wrong with Ling Qi.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Nian'er finally said: "Thank you, Master Hou, for comforting my husband. He has been overly sad since his grandfather passed away. I hope Master Hou will not care about my husband's disrespect."

Nian'er is now a woman with a bun, and her eyebrows and eyes are more charming. At this time, her face is pale, and there are tears in the corners of her eyes, which is pitiful.Five days after they got married, something happened in the house, and others had to point out behind their backs.

Lu Jinyan sighed, "My Madam, please forgive me too."

Ling Qi suddenly said at this time: "Princess, can you tell Ling what you said to your grandfather at the mansion that day?"

The sudden question made everyone startled.

The General's Mansion announced that Old General Ling died of an old illness, but Ling Qi's tone seemed to imply that Guo Chan was related to the death of Old General Ling. Lu Jinyan also put away his kind expression and looked at the couple warily.

Seeing this, Nian'er explained from the side: "Please don't mind the princess, in fact, it was after meeting the princess that day that my grandfather...he locked himself in the room until today. Discovered. That's why Xianggong wants to know what you said that day."

Guo Chan frowned slightly. In fact, she was also surprised by the death of Old General Ling.

She then looked at Wu Sicai and Li Yuan, and they moved away a little bit knowingly, but at the same time kept a distance to ensure that no one else would approach.

"After coming out of the new house that day, the housekeeper of your general's mansion found me and said that old general Ling wanted to see me. Then I followed the housekeeper to the study room. At that time, old general Ling mentioned that he wanted me to help conceal the identity of Mrs. Madam. "

Guo Chan took a look at Nian'er and paused for a while, but Nian'er was in tears. She always thought that General Ling made her marry Ling Qi to fulfill the previous lies, but she was not satisfied with her and never wanted to marry Ling Qi. She even asked Guo Chan to hide her identity for her.

Ling Qi followed up and asked: "And then?"

Guo Chan said again: "Then Old General Ling thanked me for your return to the capital, General Ling."

Speaking of this, Guo Chan suddenly thought of something. In fact, Ling Qi was able to escape because Sima He sent someone to rescue him, but why did General Ling still thank him?

Guo Chan didn't notice that Ling Qi's eyes darkened when he heard her words.

Lu Jinyan had a flash of inspiration. Earlier, Guo Chan had said that General Ling asked Guo Chan to hope that she could take care of the general's mansion in the future. At that time, she thought that General Ling was very strange, but now she remembered that it was clearly her last words!

"A-chan..."

Lu Jinyan called her, the two of them looked at each other, they were connected with each other, and Guo Chan also realized that there might be something else wrong!

Old General Ling's death may not be due to any old illness at all, but suicide!

"Ling Qi, you..."

Guo Chan hadn't finished speaking when a call came from the door, it was Sima Yi and Sima He who came to express their condolences.

The two of them appeared at the door together, Sima Yi was wearing a black uniform with dark patterns, and half a step behind him was Sima He in the official uniform of the prince.

Everyone saluted, and Sima Yi walked into the hall with a solemn expression. It was rare that Sima He's red phoenix eyes were not romantic today, but they were somewhat dignified.

Sima Yi came, and they naturally couldn't continue the conversation just now.

"I have seen the emperor!"

Sima Yi nodded slightly, his eyes skipped one by one, he paused for a while on Lu Jinyan and Guo Chan, and then landed on Ling Qi.

"Old General Ling has served the country all his life, and today I came here specially to give the tower a lift."

Ling Qi clasped his fists and saluted, with a mournful voice, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi lit three sticks of incense himself. He stood in front of the nanmu coffin in silence for a while, and finally gently inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Sima He on the side walked to Guo Chan's side at some point.

"Danyang, do you believe in karma?"

Guo Chan frowned, and glanced at Sima He standing beside her. Seeing him looking at Sima He standing in front of the coffin, she looked away again, and said calmly: "If you plant beans, you will reap beans, and if you sow melons, you will reap melons. Karma, It's quite normal."

Sima He said: "That's right, so the debt owed will have to be paid back one day."

Guo Chan was stunned, and then said: "There is a grievance and a debtor. I'm afraid you don't find the wrong person."

Sima He didn't say anything after hearing this, but Guo Chan felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, it began to rain suddenly, and the guests who came to express their condolences hid in the mourning hall to avoid the rain.

The wind and rain were blowing, and there were cries everywhere, and everyone felt like an ax was pressed against their hearts.

Lu Jinyan stood under the eaves outside the mourning hall, and Guo Chan went to Ling Qi to ask the cause of the old general Ling's death, and she was watching the rain alone.

Her name rang in my ear.

"Lu Jinyan."

When Lu Jinyan heard the voice and turned around, it was indeed Sima Yi.

Sima Yi never thought that she would dress up like a man.

"I have seen the emperor."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard that you plan to enter the Princess Eldest Mansion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sima Yi frowned, "Outside the palace, you can speak casually."

Lu Jinyan nodded. She had only met Sima Yi a few times, but she felt that he was a gentle person, not even like a king.

"How did you convince Aunt Huang?" Sima Yi had been waiting for the Eldest Princess' objection, but things seemed to be smoother than he imagined.

Lu Jinyan sighed: "The godmother doesn't know, she just thought she cooperated with us in acting."

Sima Yi was taken aback, it turned out to be a play within a play, he curled his lips, and said with a smile: "I don't know that you are doing a fake show for real, if Aunt Huang finds out the truth in the future, maybe what will happen!"

Maybe it was because Sima Yi's attitude was too approachable, or maybe it was because what Lu Jinyan had been worried about, she frowned, showing distress.

Seeing this, Sima Yi felt better in his heart, "Do you know that at that time I really considered making her queen?"

If Empress Zhang loses her morality, she will not be able to sit firmly on the empress position, but the harem is inseparable from the previous dynasty, and he is even tired of dealing with the trade-offs between the various palaces in the harem. If there is a strong middle palace, it will be much easier.

And this is also a kind of selfishness...

Even if it can't come true, the nominal affection may be able to fill the regret in the heart.

Sima Yi was thinking, but heard a laugh, it was Lu Jinyan.

He frowned slightly, only to hear her say with a smile: "So I'll act first!"
