Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

it is ridiculous!

She thinks she is a dish!

Feng Xili's eyes were gloomy. She had originally wanted to wait until the matter with Princess Yuhe was resolved before continuing her entrepreneurial journey on the border.

Unexpectedly, there will be an unexpected gain?

"Xier?" Mu Lanxun noticed that the person in his arms was trembling, and he gently stroked her back.

"Axun..." The muffled voice sounded pitiful.

"No rush, we have to take our time with this. Zuo Lian won't reveal the truth easily, so we have to plan well."

His voice was steady, and the caress of his arm gradually turned into a light pat. After a moment, the sound of shallow breathing escaped from his chest.

Someone fell asleep again.

He sighed helplessly, but he was still reluctant to let the person go. He roughly adjusted his posture, hugged the person and lay down on the rocking chair by the window.

Every time they met, Xier would fall asleep in a short while. He wondered, didn’t she sleep when they were not together?

Ya'an City is getting warmer and warmer, and there is no chill at all when sleeping by the window.

"Master." A soft call from under the window made Mu Lanxun open his eyes instantly.

He frowned, half of his body was numb, but the person in his arms was sleeping soundly, and his face in the morning light revealed a sense of peace and tranquility.

He hid the smile on his face, and after a moment's pause, he carefully put the person on the bed.

As long as she is by his side, nothing can stump him.

The door opened and Yuan Ri bowed, "Master, I have discovered something."

Mu Lanxun's eyes narrowed, "Leave first."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Linshang stared numbly at the tightly closed door, and his arm, which was about to knock on the door, finally dropped.

Thinking back to last night when he was puzzled by Mu Lanxun's sudden visit, he immediately felt nervous when he learned that he was here to visit his wife.

Fortunately, he only stayed for a moment, and then handed me a letter before leaving, with an unusually cold look in his eyes.

The letter clearly stated that his wife not only made the cursed doll, but also had close connections with those who drugged Emperor Qi Zhao.

He read it over and over again three or four times in panic, his whole body cold. Ning Nianqiao had lost his former magnanimity and kindness, and was trapped in the pain of his own narrow-mindedness.

It was only then that he realized how ironic the words "I am proud of my son" were.

Ning Nianqiao simply could not accept Feng Tianxu's death. She hated the innocent Feng Xili regardless of anything and even fabricated the origin of the scars on Xier's body in order to frame her.

Emperor Qi Zhao had been on the throne for more than ten years, working diligently and conscientiously, and could be considered a wise ruler. But she just watched His Majesty sleeping and Mu Lanxun imprisoned without doing anything.

"Nian'er, for Tianxu, you don't care about anything and don't want anything?" He stood at the door and talked to himself sadly.

Qingqing...I'm sorry...

"Lan Yi!" He lowered his voice and shouted as he walked out of the courtyard.

A black shadow flashed, and Lan Yi stood silently on the side, waiting for orders.

"From today on, you will follow the Madam. Report to me everything she does, including where she goes, who she meets, and what she says."

Those people probably have a trick up their sleeve. He can't suddenly restrict her activities, but he also has to be on guard and not let Ning Nianqiao get deeper into trouble.

"Be careful." Don't let anyone find out, he said meaningfully.

"Yes!"

Liannian Palace.

As soon as Emperor Qi Zhao put down his chopsticks, Eunuch Fude arrived at the door and announced, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yun immediately brought a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty has just woken up. You must take care of your health and avoid overexerting yourself."

"Well, you are still pregnant with the prince, so be careful and keep more people around you. If you need anything, tell me."

Qi Zhaodi took a sip of tea and glanced at her stomach with a calm look.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Yun bowed deeply and was supported by Emperor Qi Zhao.

He was so polite that he didn't seem like someone who was going to be a father. "You can take a rest."

After saying this, he walked out the door without looking back, with an unreasonable sense of urgency in his voice.

Yun Fei looked at the figure that disappeared from her sight in just a few steps, and the warmth in her eyes was gradually replaced by coldness.

She stood there for a moment, then turned and went to the well in the backyard.

"Lingyan, go get my books." She pretended to stretch and walked towards her greenhouse.

After the palace maid beside her left, she walked quickly into the greenhouse. Layers of flower pots filled every corner, and a figure was moving back and forth among the red and green, like a hardworking little bee.

"Xiao'er." Along with the sound of the door closing, an urgent call also sounded.

The hardworking little bee, no, Liu Xiao - that is, Xiao Ze, turned around and looked.

He was wearing a long gray cloth gown and holding a pair of gardening shears in his hand, but there was a hideous scar on his left cheek, extending from his temple to the bottom of his neck.

Yun Fei walked forward and pulled him aside to sit, stroking the uneven scars on his face with heartache.

"It was my fault that my son suffered so much." She lowered her head and cried, her hands still tightly holding Xiao Ze's.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just have some minor injuries. I'd be willing to burn my whole body to see you again!"

Xiao Ze knelt down in front of Concubine Yun in excitement. No one knew how shocked he was when he suddenly saw his mother in the pain of his burnt flesh.

He was in a trance, recalling the dreamlike scene again.

His mother seemed to still be the same as she was in childhood, looking at him with kindness and love. Before he fell into darkness, he smiled very calmly.

His mother came to pick him up, and the three of them were finally reunited.

"Xiao'er! Xiao'er!" Hearing the long-lost call in a daze, Xiao Ze felt that he must be dreaming.

But the next moment, the pain as if the left half of his body was tearing him awake suddenly.

At this moment, his chest was still heaving. Even though three months had passed, he still felt it was unreal. His mother told him that his father's death was too strange.

Moreover, Marquis Zhongning was a marquis personally appointed by the late emperor. Even if he was not favored, it is unlikely that the late emperor would have no reaction after he was accidentally killed by bandits, right?

He only said one sentence during Liu Nianfeng's funeral: "I am truly heartbroken and deeply mournful."

The Zhongning Marquis's mansion was in ruins overnight, with only a few people coming to pay their respects. She knew then that the Marquis's death was no accident.

She had originally made all the arrangements. After the Marquis saw that the woman was not trustworthy, she would show him care and comfort. After comparing the two, the Marquis would definitely be devoted to her again.

Who would have thought that bandits would appear out of nowhere?

The Zhongning Marquis's Mansion was being targeted, and she was unwilling to accept it, but as a marquis's widow, she had no way of finding out the truth in public.

The Marquis was her life, the only love of her life. Now that the Marquis had died in vain, she swore that she would never give up until she found out the truth!

She fought with all her might and faked her death under the guise of committing suicide for love, thus earning a small good reputation for the precarious Marquisate.

It's just a pity for her son. After so many years of wandering, he finally made a name for himself. He is worthy of being the son of the Marquis!

but!

That woman has a daughter!

How could she let that man's daughter harm her own son?
