Princess [rebirth]

Zhuo Jingfan went out of the palace very low-key. When he arrived at Rongqinguo's mansion, the concierge didn't know who was sitting in the carriage. When Fuling got off the carriage, the concierge was still surprised to see it was her. Fuling stepped forward a few steps. , said in a low voice: "There is a nobleman in the carriage, hurry up and open the door to greet him." The concierge was startled, obviously guessing who was in the carriage, and hurriedly opened the door, allowing the carriage to enter the mansion.

As soon as Zhuo Jingfan's carriage entered the gate, the steward of the mansion came. The steward hurried to the carriage, respectfully greeted the people in the carriage, and at the same time sent someone to the inner courtyard to report to Mrs. Zhuo, The nobleman in the car must have come to visit A ​​Lang today.

When the steward arranged for Zhuo Jingfan to get out of the carriage and change into the soft sedan chair in the mansion, Xiao Wanniang in the inner courtyard also got the news. She was shocked and almost dropped the teacup in her hand, and asked loudly: "Are you sure? Empress Empress Are you here?" The servant girl who reported to her nodded, and said repeatedly: "Go back to Madam, yes, Steward Zhuo said that Madam's soft sedan chair is coming soon, and please invite Madam and Madam to greet you at the second gate."

Xiao Wanniang was skeptical when she heard this, and brought her daughter-in-law to the Chuhuamen. At this time, Zhuo Erlang was already there. Zhuo Erlang was writing in the study in the front yard, when he heard his follower report to her in a panic, saying, It was a distinguished guest who came to the door, and he was wondering in his heart, since Aye stepped down from the position of Zhong Shuling, there have been no distinguished guests in the house, and Aye is seriously ill now, how could there be any distinguished guests willing door?

So he didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he didn't expect the long follower to come up to him and whisper something in his ear, Zhuo Erlang froze immediately, and asked in surprise, "Really?" Seeing the long follower nodded seriously, Zhuo Erlang understood He straightened his clothes, went to the hanging flower gate and waited for Zhuo Jingfan's sedan chair.

When he saw A Niang rushing over with his wife and was about to say a few words, Zhuo Jingfan's soft sedan had already arrived.Seeing Fu Ling and Hu Po walking beside the sedan chair, everyone in the Zhuo Mansion no longer doubted that Fu Ling is the queen's personal servant, Fu Ling has come, so is there any fake?I just don't know why the Empress Empress came to the door so suddenly, and there was no wind leaking out.

Just when everyone in the Zhuo Mansion was thinking about it, Zhuo Jingfan had already stepped off the soft sedan chair with Fu Ling's support. This was the first time Zhuo Jingfan came to the Zhuo Mansion after waking up. He looked up at the surrounding people vaguely Although it was the first time he came to the scenery, he didn't feel any strangeness at all. Presumably, it was the residual memory of this body, coupled with the nightmare of the previous days, that made him very familiar with this Zhuo Mansion.

He sized up the group of people who saluted him in front of him, Zhuo Erlang's face had matured a lot, he was no longer the young man he saw in his dream, and when he looked at the lady next to Xiao Wanniang, he thought it was Zhuo Erlang's wife stop?He retracted his gaze and yelled lightly, and then said to Xiao Wanniang: "I heard that Duke Rong is not feeling well, so I came here to visit today, and please ask Madam to lead the way."

"Your Majesty loves you so much. I didn't know your Majesty was coming. I'm sorry to welcome you. Please forgive me." Xiao Wanniang put on a decent smile and expressed her gratitude to Zhuo Jingfan before taking Zhuo Jingfan. Zhuo Rongyong's yard.

After Zhuo Jingfan entered the courtyard, he turned his head and said to Xiao Wanniang: "The sage is also very concerned about the Duke's health. Knowing that this palace is coming, he specially sent two imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office to come together, and asked Madam to allow the imperial physician to serve as a doctor. Duke's pulse diagnosis."

"This is the great love and grace of the sage. It's too late for my concubine to be happy. How can I stop it?" Xiao Wanniang was very happy when she heard that Zhuo Jingfan had brought two imperial physicians. Since Zhuo Rongyong fell, she was also She hurriedly took the famous post from the Duke’s Mansion to invite the imperial physicians, but the several imperial physicians they invited shook their heads, and then she invited famous doctors in the capital, but they were all at a loss. Is there anything wrong with the imperial physician named by the sage?Therefore, Xiao Wanniang put all her hopes in the two imperial physicians.

Those who followed Zhuo Jingfan were Imperial Physicians Hu and Imperial Physician Qin. These two imperial physicians are only responsible for seeing the nobles in the palace. They cannot be invited by the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Wanniang also knows about these two imperial physicians. He was naturally more excited when he saw them, not to mention whether these two imperial physicians could cure Zhuo Rongyong, but the fact that the saint sent these two imperial physicians was a statement that he valued Zhuo Rongyong and the Duke's Mansion very much.

Xiao Wanniang was finally relieved, she glanced at Zhuo Jingfan cryptically, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, she thought that Zhuo Jingfan and Zhuo Mansion were not close, which would affect the saint's attitude towards Zhuo Mansion, but now it seems that the saint's attitude towards Zhuo Mansion The Zhuo Mansion is still very concerned, presumably Zhuo Jingfan will go out of the palace to visit today, it must be the meaning of a saint, otherwise how could it be so easy for a queen to leave the palace?

The more Xiao Wanniang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she gradually gained confidence in her heart. As long as the sage still has the Duke's Mansion in her eyes, then Erlang's future will not be a problem. Although Zhuo Lang has retired, Erlang is still young. It is impossible to say that he can inherit his father's career and become the next Zhongshuling.

Poor Xiao Wanniang doesn't know that as long as Zhuo Jingfan is on the queen's throne for a day, it will be impossible for the Zhuo Mansion to issue another Zhongshu order, and Zhuo Erlang's future official position will only be from the fourth rank. Zhuo Erlang was given the false title of a high-level casual official, but it is no longer possible to delegate power to the other party.

It's just that these are things to do in the future, the most important thing right now is to find out the cause of Zhuo Rongyong.Zhuo Rongyong was very sick, and he had never had any signs of physical discomfort before, but when he fell down, he was directly dying of illness, so Zhuo Jingfan had the idea of ​​going to the Zhuo Mansion to see it with his own eyes.At this time, he came to Zhuo Rongyong's sickbed, looked at Zhuo Rongyong who had lost weight rapidly during this period of time, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Please ask the two imperial doctors to take a look for the Duke. What kind of disease is it?"

Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Qin responded respectfully, and then stepped forward quickly, their medicine boy followed by holding their medical boxes, Zhuo Jingfan had already led everyone out of the bedroom in order not to disturb the two imperial physicians to the vestibule.

Because of Zhuo Jingfan's presence, Xiao Wanniang and the others were a little reserved and uncomfortable. This was the first time Zhuo Erlang's wife saw this uncle. When she married into Zhuo's family, Zhuo Jingfan had already entered the palace and became a queen After getting married, the A family was supposed to lead her into the palace to meet the queen, but for some reason, the A family never mentioned it, so she could only pretend not to know.Later, after inquiring by her dowry maid, she found out that the stepmother of the A family was at odds with the empress. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo Er really didn't know how to feel.

Mrs. Zhuo Er's mother's family name is Sun, and she is the younger sister of Sun Ruren before Dou Ze. It's just that Sun Ruren is a concubine, but she is a serious legitimate daughter.Sun Ruren almost cheated Sun Shangshu's family that day. If Sun Shangshu hadn't severed ties with Sun Ruren after he entered Duke Huai's residence, and never had any contact with him again, Sun's residence would definitely be doomed after something happened to Duke Huai's residence.Fortunately, Sun Shangshu didn't lose his head, he didn't feel that Duke Huai could accomplish anything from the beginning to the end, so he has been working hard to get rid of the relationship with Duke Huai.

Unlike Sun Shangshu, Lu Ruren's father wanted to cling to Duke Huai at the beginning, so he sent his prostitute daughter to Prince Huai's mansion, and he was always close to Duke Huai. After being implicated, the family was directly ransacked and the nine clans were punished, and the three generations of the Lu family were not allowed to enter the court as officials.

The fate of the Lu family was extremely miserable, and Lu Ruren couldn't please himself. Unlike other exiled female family members, Lu Ruren and Sun Ruren's favored concubines were all directly sentenced to death for participating in the conspiracy. After the Dou Ze incident happened, Shang Shu kept a low profile, fearing that others would bring Sun's family and Sun Ruren together.

After finally surviving the turbulent days, Sun Shangshu naturally began to find a way out for himself. He knew that although the saint did not attack the Sun family, he must have suspicions in his heart. She had the idea of ​​getting married with the Zhuo Mansion.Sun Shangshu thought about it. As the Minister of the Household Department, he was in charge of major financial matters such as taxation, salary, food and payment. If he could become a relative with the saint, he would surrender to the saint in disguise.

At that time, although Zhuo Rongyong hadn't retired from the Zhongshu Order, Sun Shangshu guessed the mind of the saint. The saint would not want Zhuo Rongyong to continue to be in power, but he would not be too alienated from him. If you are willing to marry your daughter to Zhuo Erlang, isn't it for the sake of a saint?Moreover, he is in charge of the national treasury. After marrying Zhuo's family, isn't the treasury equal to being in the pocket of a saint?He is so considerate of the saint, the saint should see his determination and loyalty.

So Sun Shangshu approached Zhuo Rongyong, and the two of them made up their minds, and when they went to court on a certain day, they jointly wrote a letter requesting a marriage from a saint. Saint means.If the sage made up his mind to suppress Zhuo's mansion to the end, then the sage would not agree to this marriage; if the sage still had old feelings for the Zhuo family in his heart, and understood Sun Shangshu's meaning, he would be open to the Zhuo-sun family's marriage Close one eye.

As a result, the saint bestowed the marriage on the spot, Sun Shangshu finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and Zhuo Rongyong's feelings became more complicated. First, he was happy that Erlang had such a favorable family, and second, the reason why the saint was willing to bestow the marriage was because Obviously made up his mind to let himself back down.

Zhuo Rongyong knew it well in his heart, after marrying his grandson's daughter for his son, he became the Duke of Rong Qin not long after, it sounds nice and of high rank, but he knew in his heart that he was far away from the political center. ...

The prostitute daughter of the Sun family was raised by Madam Sun's side since she was a child, and her upbringing and manners are naturally not comparable to Sun Ruren's. Moreover, she was very intelligent since she was a child, and she was quite loved by Sun Shangshu. After Zhuo and Sun's two families got engaged, Sun Shangshu paid more attention to Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun knew that Zhuo Erlang was found by Aye for her. The word goes.

Mrs. Sun was at peace, and she was not upset about being used. The Sun family gave birth to her and raised her, and provided for her to grow up, so that she could receive the best education and the best environment. At this time, she should repay her parents for their kindness. it's time.Kuang married who is not married?If she could help Aye, she would be happy and willing.

And after she married into the Zhuo Mansion, she found that the Zhuo Mansion was not as bad as she had imagined. Although the A family had some things that were unclear, she really loved her husband, and she loved her own house as a daughter-in-law, and she was chosen by A Weng. Jia Zi is a little more satisfied with herself, so her life in Zhuo Mansion is quite happy.Not long after, Mrs. Sun gave birth to a daughter for Zhuo Erlang. The husband and wife loved the little lady very much, but Xiao Wanniang was a little disgusted. She was waiting to have a grandson. Who knew that the wife of the Sun family was the first The fetus was actually a little lady.

Mrs. Sun could see that Xiao Wanniang was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't care about it in her heart. Aren't the young man and the young lady both of Erlang's blood?Soon after she got married, she was able to give birth to a little lady, which meant that she and her husband were in good health. Wouldn't it be easy to give birth to a little man in the future?She and Erlang are not very old, if you work hard for a few years, there will always be a young man.

Zhuo Erlang thought the same way, because he was brought up by Zhuo Rongyong himself since he was a child, and he lived in the front yard after he was three years old. He didn't get along with Xiao Wanniang very much on weekdays. He obeyed everything, so he ignored his mother's complaints, and still loved and doted on his wife.

Zhuo Jingfan had heard a little about these lawsuits in Zhuo's mansion. He secretly observed Mrs. Sun who was sitting at the bottom, and felt that the other party's temperament and demeanor could be seen at a glance as the daughter of a wealthy family, so he couldn't help but nodded slightly. Well, the most correct thing Zhuo Rongyong did in his life was probably agreeing to this marriage with the Sun family.Although Sun Shangshu had thoughts in his heart, his daughter was really good. As the saying goes, a virtuous wife has few misfortunes. As long as Mrs. Sun doesn't mess up, Zhuo Erlang should be able to live a smooth life.

Perhaps Zhuo Erlang is destined not to be able to reach a high position, but he can have an official position that is neither high nor low. Back then, the Zhuo family gave up a man to enter the palace as a princess in order to make progress, so he had to be prepared to stay away from the government in the future.When the prince is still a prince, he may need the support of a strong foreign family, but when the prince becomes a saint, a strong and powerful foreign family will become a threat. In order to suppress the foreign relatives, the saint will definitely praise him secretly Yes, that's how Zhuo Rongyong, the Duke of Rongqin, came here.

As long as Zhuo Erlang can see through all this and don't have delusional thoughts, Zhuo Jingfan will be able to keep him safe and sound for the rest of his life. After a hundred years of him, the Zhuo Mansion may be able to rise again. It's not difficult to get the house, but Zhuo Jingfan couldn't think about all this when he was still the empress.

Zhuo Jingfan was sitting on top, but he couldn't tell what Zhuo Erlang was thinking. Since Zhuo Erlang had an unreliable mother like Xiao Wanniang, Zhuo Jingfan didn't really have much affection for this cheap brother. Hope, although bad bamboos may also produce good bamboo shoots, but is Zhuo Erlang a good bamboo shoot?

From time to time, his eyes would drift to Zhuo Erlang's body, how could Zhuo Erlang not feel it?Zhuo Erlang didn't have a deep impression of this elder brother, in fact, the two of them didn't have much interaction before his elder brother entered the palace.My elder brother has been introverted and quiet since he was a child, and he can even be said to be cowardly. Sometimes he doesn't think highly of this elder brother in his heart, and he knows that his elder brother and him are not brothers from the same mother, so there is inevitably a little more estrangement in his heart.

As the two grew up, they interacted less and less. Because their circle of friends was different, and brother had a dull personality, he couldn't easily come out and walk around. As a result, the two lived together in the front yard, even within a month. We don't see each other a few times, sometimes for months.

Later, my brother was sent to the palace by A Niang. He only remembered that his eyes were red from crying the day before he entered the palace, but he still didn't say anything, and he never even resisted, so he was welcomed like this. Entered the palace and became a princess.Zhuo Erlang often thought, how could there be a way out for a brother with such a temperament to enter the palace?Such a simple and cowardly temperament, is it likely that someone will clean it up soon?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Erlang glanced vaguely at Zhuo Jingfan who was sitting on the main seat. My elder brother stayed in the palace for two years, and then, as he expected, he was poisoned to death. When he heard this When I heard the news, I felt a feeling of "it really is so" in my heart, but a few days later, my brother survived.

In fact, he is also happy at the moment. After all, no matter how you say it, it is definitely better for Zhuo Mansion to be alive than to be dead, and he knows that Auntie has always wanted to send Sister into the palace. It seems that sister may not be able to do better than brother once she enters the palace.Although my elder sister has some scheming skills, those small tricks are not enough to be seen in the palace. If it can't be completely bad, it's not as good as elder brother's bad guy who makes people defenseless.

He guessed that perhaps this was also the result of brother's ability to survive for two years.

It's just that I didn't expect that after my brother woke up, his temper turned around. Not only did he stand up by himself, but he also dealt with the other concubines of the prince. Brother is now getting tough with A Niang.

Zhuo Erlang was very surprised, but he only thought that his elder brother had experienced life and death, so he realized it.But now that he saw Elder Brother with his own eyes, he didn't dare to admit it. There was no such intimidating aura on Elder Brother in the past, just sitting in the upper position made the people below couldn't help but surrender.It seems that the experience in the palace has transformed my brother, and he has reached a height that no one can match.

He was a little envious, but also a little bit displeased. The elder brother who was not in his eyes since childhood has become such an existence that people look up to. He is not envious of the other party becoming a queen, but envious of the other party. He survived the predicament and became a noble person that he dare not look directly at now.

Zhuo Jingfan didn't know Zhuo Erlang's complicated thoughts, he didn't stay in Zhuo's residence for long, after Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Qin finished treating Zhuo Rongyong, he left with others.And not long after he left, Zhuo Rongyong's favored concubine rushed to report to the concubine, saying that it was the empress who had just come to Zhuo's mansion, and brought two very capable imperial physicians with her, and those two imperial physicians were actually It can be seen that Zhuo Rongyong is poisoned.

The concubine panicked, she hurriedly came to the concubine to ask for advice, the concubine saw her flustered appearance, and she also had a bad feeling in her heart, when she heard that Zhuo Jingfan had come, her whole face was distorted Her hoarse voice was full of hatred, and she kept repeating Zhuo Jingfan's name, as if she was cursing.Seeing the concubine's appearance, the concubine became more and more afraid. At this time, she really regretted listening to the concubine's words. Now that the imperial physician has found out that Zhuo Rongyong was poisoned, can she still avoid it?

She knelt down on the ground, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, if she couldn't escape, and she couldn't let the concubine go free, the poison was obviously given to her by the concubine, so as long as she confessed the concubine, she might be able to escape the death penalty Shi Ji thought over and over again, and made up her mind to turn herself in, but when she wanted to get up, she suddenly felt that her hands and feet were weak, and her whole body instantly collapsed to the ground. She was shocked and tried to raise her head to look at the concubine.

"Do you think I don't know what you're up to?" The concubine finally got off the soft couch, and walked towards Shi Ji who was lying on the ground step by step. Shi Ji stared at the other party in fear, her lips trembling and she couldn't say a word.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you don't rebel today, you won't be able to get out of here. Now that Zhuo Rongyong is dying, there is no need for you to live." The concubine knelt down and stretched out her hand to pat Patting Shi Ji's beautiful face, the concubine's eyes flashed with jealousy, she was born so beautiful before, even a little more beautiful than Shi Ji, and she was deeply loved in the past, but now she can only be like this. Alive, all of this was caused by Zhuo Jingfan!Zhuo Jingfan, this person who caused her to fall into hell, she absolutely wants revenge, she wants him to taste the taste of family ruin and death! ...

After Zhuo Jingfan returned to the palace, he took two imperial physicians to see Dou Chun. After the imperial physician reported Zhuo Rongyong's condition to Dou Chun, he was waved away by Dou Chun. Dou Chun turned his head and looked at Zhuo Jingfan ugly. Looking at his face, he said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, since the two imperial physicians can see that the foreigner is poisoned, presumably there is a way to detoxify."

Zhuo Jingfan pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Well, I believe in Imperial Physicians Hu and Imperial Physician Qin, but I have a feeling that all this seems to be aimed at me."

"Aiming at you?" Dou Chun straightened his expression immediately after hearing this.

"Well, now that my father is no longer a Zhongshu Ling, he only spends his days drinking and having fun in the mansion. How can he be in the way of other people's eyes? And if he wants to poison his father, he must be someone close to him on weekdays. When Fu Ling accompanied me back I have inquired secretly before, my father has been very fond of a concubine recently, and that concubine has asked many people about me on weekdays, I have sent someone to investigate that concubine." Zhuo Jingfan said slowly.

But that night, Zhuo Jingfan's people passed the word and entered the palace. The maidservant had already committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in the mansion. Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun looked at the secret report with serious expressions. It was obvious that the maidservant had been murdered. It seems that there is indeed a problem in the Zhuo Mansion.

"Although I don't know what the person behind the scenes wants to do, but since the other party poisoned my father, I think he wants to kill my father. We might as well follow the plan and see what the other party wants to do next." Zhuo Jingfan pondered for a while , said.

"Well, I'll arrange it immediately." Dou Chun nodded, and immediately summoned Youfu, gave him instructions, and Youfu immediately took the order to go. That night, Dou Chun's people sneaked into Zhuo's mansion quietly, and took Zhuo Rongyong away. The people around him were replaced, and Zhuo Rongyong was tightly protected.

After a few days, Zhuo Rongyong's condition became worse and worse, and finally he was almost hanging on his breath. Xiao Wanniang was very sad when she saw her. While taking care of Zhuo Rongyong, he fainted, causing the servants to panic again.

Xiao Wanniang's maid hurriedly brought the wife back to the main courtyard with the wife, and then sent someone to invite the doctor. After the doctor saw it, he prescribed the medicine, and the maid hurriedly sent someone to decoct the medicine, but the lady did not recover after drinking the medicine. The situation got worse, and then he started to vomit blood, which frightened everyone.

In the end, Imperial Physician Hu just happened to come, and hurriedly pricked it with a silver needle, which stopped Xiao Wanniang from vomiting blood. When everyone was in a hurry, the medicine bowl that Xiao Wanniang had drunk was secretly put away by a little maid. Taking advantage of the chaos, she poured out the medicine dregs and smashed the bowl, but before she could walk out of the room, a woman grabbed her wrist.

The little girl's heart skipped a beat, before she had time to say anything, she was gagged by the woman, and she was taken to the firewood room and locked up.
