The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Murong Jingchu watched Song Qianning and Ling Bai chatting lively, feeling emotional. He wondered when she would be able to talk to him so freely.

Ling Xi was looking at Song Qianning from behind a gauze curtain in the distance. The Immortal Lord had said that if one wanted to hear Miss Qianning's inner voice completely, in addition to the fact that what was said being related to the person concerned, the person must also be recognized by her or someone she liked and sympathized with. If it was someone she didn't like or someone she didn't know well, then he wouldn't be able to hear a single word in her heart.

The lotus jade hairpin that the immortal gave to Miss Qian Ning was infused with his magical power. He could use the hairpin as a medium to open his third eye, and every move of the person who wore it would fall into his eyes.

The Immortal Lord had taught her the secret formula for opening the door a few days ago, and also reminded her to pay attention to Miss Qian Ning's safety. Originally, she was very worried, how could she get closer to Miss Qian Ning?

But she heard their conversation just now, and suddenly she thought of a good idea. She could marry Miss Qian Ning's third brother!

Anyway, Song Chengyi's fate was predetermined, he just needed to hold on for a few years, so that he could get close to Miss Qian Ning openly and get rid of Ling Bai, the annoying fly that bothered her every day. If he wasn't a friend of Miss Qian Ning's third brother, she would have thrown him out long ago. He was not allowed to act rashly in front of her every day.

When Song Qianxue saw that the show was about to begin, she urged her third sister to hurry up with her to the third floor. The two of them stopped paying attention to Ling Bai and went up to the third floor one after another. The second and fourth princes also followed them upstairs...

When Song Qianning arrived at the third floor, she found that her elder and second brothers were also there. What surprised her most was that Ling Yanran and Princess Yongning Murong Xin were also there.

Looking at the way the four people were talking, they seemed very familiar with each other. Song Qianning was very puzzled. When did these four become so familiar with each other?

Seeing that her third sister looked confused, Song Qianxue kindly explained to her: "You stayed in your room for the past few days and didn't come out. Then you had your coming-of-age ceremony. Later, I attended the palace banquet with you. During the days when you were away, my eldest and second brothers were often invited here by their staff, and we happened to run into them several times. Once, I heard the waiters in the theater gossiping that Prince Xiao of the Huai Palace wanted to take Ling Yanran, who was watching the play alone, to have a drink. Ling Yanran refused, and Prince Xiao was drunk and tried to take her away forcefully. My eldest brother passed by and rescued her. Later, when Prince Xiao came a few times and wanted to chat up Sister Ling, he happened to be there. As a result, they became familiar with each other..."

Song Qianning thought, is this the legendary fate?

When Song Chengyan and Song Chengzhou saw that their sisters, as well as the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, had arrived, they quickly stood up and prepared to pay their respects.

After being stopped by the Fourth Prince, who said that there was no need to be polite in public, they gave up. After everyone was seated, Song Qianning noticed that Ling Yanran and her elder brother looked at each other many times, and then shyly looked away.

[Look at the look in my eldest brother's eyes, it seems that they are in love! He likes her so much but he didn't ask mother to come to propose marriage. This wooden-headed man is already eighteen years old and still single. If this Xiao Shizi gets there first, he will cry...]

Song Qianxue felt that what her third sister said made sense. This Master Xiao had always had improper thoughts about Sister Yanran, and now he was being obstructed everywhere because of his eldest brother. If he proposed marriage first out of impulse, then wouldn't his eldest brother only have regrets?

When Song Chengyan heard that Xiao Tiance was planning to go to the Ling Mansion to propose marriage, his heart tightened instantly. If he really proposed first, the Ling Mansion probably would not refuse!

Should he let his grandmother go ahead as his third sister said? ? But is Miss Ling really willing to marry him? ?

There was still a quarter of an hour before the play was to begin. Because of the presence of the two princes, everyone present drank their tea restrainedly, not wanting the gossip at the next table to become more and more unrestrained.

"Have you heard? This Defei is actually pregnant, and it's not the emperor's..."

"Oh my God! Where did you hear this?"

"A relative of mine works in the Imperial Hospital. I heard that the imperial physician felt Concubine De's pulse and found out that she has been pregnant for almost two months. However, the Emperor has not turned over Concubine De's name card once in three months, so the child is self-evident..."

"Oh my god! No wonder the emperor issued an order to execute Concubine De and exile all the men of the Luo family and enslave the women two days ago. He punished the entire family just because Concubine De was pregnant. It was really cruel..."

"What do you know? It is said that the emperor found out that Concubine De is not the legitimate daughter of Master Luo, but an adopted daughter. The Luo family used an adopted daughter to pretend to be a legitimate daughter for the sake of wealth and glory. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. In addition, Concubine De is having an affair with someone else. It is already a mercy of the emperor not to implicate the entire family..."

"I see. It seems that Master Luo's family has gone too far. They deserve it..."

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Come... have a drink..."

The sound of drinking games rang out from next door, and the group of people who had heard the gossip were speechless in embarrassment...

Especially when hearing about the scandal of the emperor's concubine in front of the princes, she didn't know what to do. Song Qianning didn't expect that Concubine De was pregnant.

[How strange!! Concubine De is pregnant. I didn’t expect that the emperor knew about Concubine De’s affair because of her pregnancy. Her fake background was also implicated. But the emperor probably didn’t know that Concubine De had an affair with her own brother for nearly 20 years? He didn’t even know that Princess Anya was the child of Concubine De and her adopted brother. If he knew, it would not be as simple as exile. The whole family would probably be executed. Just like what the next table said, it’s not too much to punish the entire clan…]

Murong Jingchu pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, thinking how could he not know, if Princess Anya had not been married, how could his father allow someone who was not of Murong blood to use the identity of a princess and continue to enjoy power and wealth and glory.

Murong Jingsheng remembered that Song Qianxue had been eating that day and pretended not to hear. He subconsciously picked up a piece of cake and put it in Song Qianxue's bowl. Song Qianxue looked up at Murong Jingsheng, and her cheeks flushed slightly when she remembered that day when she was full...

The three brothers Song Chengyan were hit by lightning, and Concubine De and his brother, Princess Anya? The three of them swallowed their saliva carefully. Is this a secret they should know?

Song Qianxue suddenly felt happy when she saw the expressions of her three brothers. She guessed that her three brothers must be in the same mood as she was when she heard it in the palace. She was listening in front of the emperor at that time and was almost scared to death.

Song Qianyu couldn't help but scratch her ears. What did she just hear next door? ? The emperor's concubine was pregnant with someone else's child, and the concubine's identity as a legitimate daughter was fake. The emperor was too careless! He was deceived for so many years and only found out now.

Just when the three Song brothers didn't know how to change the subject, the drama began, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Fengyi Palace...

It has been quite some time since then, and not only has the Fourth Prince not fallen ill, his complexion has even become visibly rosy.

Even the Crown Prince sensed something was wrong, so today he came to Fengyi Palace specifically to find his mother.

"Mother, according to reason, the fourth child did not take the medicine to suppress the Zi Gu on time, but you also asked Doctor Xu to give the fourth child medicine to awaken the Zi Gu, but now it has been so long, why is there no movement?"

Faced with her son's question, the queen was also puzzled. Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen! How could this happen?

"I don't know what went wrong, mother? Logically speaking, the child Gu would have died within five days of being awakened, but now that time has passed, the fourth prince is indeed getting more energetic."

Murong Jingye said with some regret: "It's a pity that my uncle's mistress is gone, otherwise I wouldn't be as confused as I am now."

"Who said it wasn't? But Qi just disappeared. According to your grandfather and uncle's analysis, she must have been captured by her enemies."

"What a pity! He disappeared at this time, not earlier. If the mother had not insisted on letting the fourth child live to be nineteen, and if they had died earlier, there wouldn't be so many troubles now..."

The prince's tone contained some complaints. The queen was already feeling resentful that she could not mourn the death of her own son. Her father did not dare to blame her, and now this impostor dared to question her decision.

"Prince, are you blaming me?"

"I dare not..."

Although the queen had some resentment towards the prince, she also knew that her future was closely tied to her nephew, and even if she hated him, it would be of no avail.

The queen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and said, "Let's ask Doctor Xu to come and ask what's going on!"

"What does the Queen want to ask Doctor Xu? I want to hear it too..."

A powerful and majestic voice came from outside...
