The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Xuanyuan Yuchuan and the third prince are half-brothers, and he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind to let his brother kill him.

Hu Luanfei talked about the current situation, "Xuanyuan Yuqing would rather hurt himself than hurt you, which is enough to prove a person's loyalty."

"The third brother is not a bad person..."

"If the Third Prince is really as weak and ignorant of worldly affairs as he appears to be, then who would poison you and Xuanyuan Yuqing?"

The Third Prince behaved like an incompetent man in the battles north and south of the city. Hu Luanfei had a deep suspicion of this.

As a royal child, he was not a sickly person, so it was inevitable that he could be good at both literature and martial arts. In addition, Nalan Qi was a general, so no matter how bad the Third Prince was, he would never be so bad as to flee in panic on the battlefield, but he did it, and his life was saved by Xuanyuan Yuchuan.

She still had the idea of ​​"playing the pig to eat the tiger" towards the Third Prince. She suspected that the Third Prince used her as bait to lure the enemy because he was sure that Xuanyuan Yuchuan would save him. Moreover, with so many people, Xuanyuan Yuchuan would be half-crippled even if he didn't die.

"I'm not asking you to kill your brother, but I'm asking you to be more vigilant against him."

"Don't you trust me?"

Hu Luanfei sighed: "You value family ties too much. I'm afraid someone will use this to get rid of you."

When the last dish came out of the pot, Xuanyuan Yuchuan walked from the kitchen door to the living room and did not speak for a long time.

Hu Luanfei assumed that he was thinking and arranged the prepared food on the plate.

After Xuanyuan Li arrived, Xuanyuan Yuchuan told him his long-planned plan step by step.

It was only because he listened to the advice and finally decided to abandon one of his younger brothers in order to prevent Xuanyuan Yuqing from being harmed that the Third Prince was ultimately unable to achieve his goal.

"Since you are sick, I plan to hand over the ranch to Ze'er for management." Xuanyuan Li couldn't wait to make a suggestion after hearing Xuanyuan Yuchuan's plan.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan seemed to have guessed it long ago, and said calmly: "Father, it's up to the emperor to make the decision, but there's a sudden disease at the ranch, many cattle and sheep have been infected, and many veterinarians are helpless. I'm afraid that my third brother will end up like me if he goes there."

"Don't worry about this. Your third brother met a master among the people. He went to the ranch to treat the cattle and sheep two days ago. Good news came last night, saying that the disease showed signs of improvement. This morning, all the civil and military officials in the court praised Ze'er for his ability to stand on his own. I thought that you were not well yet, and the ranch could not be left without a leader for a day, so I decided to let him gain some experience."

Now that things have come to this, Xuanyuan Yuchuan doesn't know what to say.

The eunuch came to report that a portion of wine had been delivered from the Yanx Palace.

Xuanyuan Li said: "There is no need to report the things sent from Yanxi Palace, just call them in directly."

The young eunuch entered the room with the wine. Hu Luanfei felt a little uncomfortable and was about to speak up to leave the table, but suddenly she heard a cry of surprise. She looked up and saw that the eunuch's steps were unsteady, and the tray in his hand was slightly tilted towards her.

The weather in mid-May was neither hot nor cold, and the slightly cool wine suddenly poured over her shoulders and fell down. She was wearing a casual dress, and at this time most of the clothes were wet, and the coolness penetrated, and she felt a little cold.

Hu Luanfei took a breath and stood up reflexively.

The young eunuch was frightened, his face turned pale, and he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Madam Sang came over to help her shake out her clothes and asked worriedly, "Are you okay, Madam?"

"It's okay." Hu Luanfei's voice was a little trembling, but he was not angry. However, others were not so easy to talk to.

Xuanyuan Li looked at the eunuch with a sullen face, "How can such a hot-headed man be a good official? Come, drag him out and beat him with forty sticks."

The young eunuch kowtowed and begged for mercy, his forehead was almost broken, but Xuanyuan Li remained indifferent.

Two guards came in from outside the door, and Hu Luanfei immediately stopped them, "Wait a minute."

The guard stopped moving.

Hu Luanfei said: "It was an unintentional act. Just be more careful next time. Go back."

The young eunuch didn't dare to move and looked at Xuanyuan Li in panic.

Since his daughter had already said to let him go, Xuanyuan Li could not say anything more. He only fined the eunuch more than half a month's salary as a lesson.

Probably because of the wind and insomnia last night, Hu Luanfei was not feeling well. His hands and feet could not warm up, and he felt dizzy and drowsy, allowing drowsiness to take over his consciousness.

Nanny Sang observed habitually: "What's wrong with the princess? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Oh, your hands are so cold, did you catch a cold?"

Hu Luanfei suddenly felt powerless, and Nanny Sang could not support her alone. Xuanyuan Yuchuan came to help, but Xuanyuan Li picked up Hu Luanfei and walked to the side hall.

"Call the imperial physician." Xuanyuan Li shouted, and Nanny Sang hurried out the door. After all, because of her old age, she sent a young eunuch to run errands.

Hu Luanfei was silent for a while: "It's my fault for playing too much last night and walking around the long street at night."

It would be better to inform Xuanyuan Li as soon as possible about Concubine Shu's affair. The weather was not very cold, but she was so nervous that she broke into a cold sweat.

Xuanyuan Li was rarely gentle to his children. He placed his palm on Hu Luanfei's forehead and pursed his thin lips into a line: "It's cold at night, and there are few people walking on the long street. You, stop playing around."

Hu Luanfei's hand that was trying to resist was held tightly by him, "Be obedient and don't let your mother worry..."

Before he could finish, Hu Luanfei propped himself up and sat up, "You should also pay more attention to Concubine Shu. I met her strolling on Chang Street last night."

"Oh? With whom?"

Hu Luanfei thought for a moment and said, "I'm alone."

Xuanyuan Li saw the clue and said, "If it's just one person, why bother to think about it?"

"It's not very clear at night, and I'm afraid that saying anything will hurt the Concubine Shu." As if remembering something, Hu Luanfei suddenly asked seriously, "Is there any old eunuch with a rough voice in the harem?"

Xuanyuan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "After the eunuchs have been castrated, their voices are thin."

Hu Luanfei blushed without any defense, "Maybe I heard it wrong, maybe it was the guards on night patrol who spoke."

"Where did you hear that?"

"When passing by the Imperial Garden."

Xuanyuan Li's personality is unpredictable. I thought he would start investigating, but I didn't expect him to suddenly remain silent.

Hu Luanfei patiently talked nonsense: "Could it be that, as the late queen said, there are wronged spirits in the carp pond in the imperial garden seeking revenge, so I heard sounds that I shouldn't have heard."

I noticed that Xuanyuan Li’s face didn’t look good.

Hu Luanfei's breath was choked: "Maybe I really heard it wrong. Your Majesty doesn't need to go investigate the carp pond just for me."

The words he wanted to say had not yet come out. Perhaps it was because she talked too much nonsense, and the implication was that she wanted to remind him that there was something fishy in the Imperial Garden.

Xuanyuan Li's expression gradually became heavy, and his tone suddenly became more serious: "Don't go to the Imperial Garden in the future. If something happens, I can't protect you."

Hu Luanfei was stunned: "Is there really a wronged ghost seeking revenge?"

"I have to investigate before I can give you an answer."

The seeds of doubt had been planted, and Hu Luanfei did not keep Xuanyuan Li for long. After the imperial physician examined the patient and prescribed some medicine, Xuanyuan Li returned to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials.

Hu Luanfei was very suspicious. She didn't dare to trust any imperial physician in the Beiqiu Palace except Xuanyuan Yuqing.

While no one was around, I hid in the space and drank some spring water.

There is not much water left in the spring.
