After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 656 Lively
Lu Yuan and Chen Long brought the old lady back to the Governor's Mansion.

The servants were more excited to see the old lady than to see the Grand Commander.

After all, compared to the terrifying Grand Admiral, the old lady who is good at playing cards is much more lovable.

"Okay, okay, whoever sees it gets a share."

The old lady distributed the candied fruits and dried fruits she had looted from Princess Wanping's mansion one by one.

By the way, he also distributed some of the gambling money he won from Princess Wanping.

It's definitely not a scam!

The servants were all grinning from ear to ear. The young mistress had returned home, Miss Zhaozhao and the commander-in-chief had returned home, and even the old lady had moved back from the princess's mansion.

The Governor's Mansion is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Where's Qianqian?"

The old lady asked with a serious face.

"Old lady!"

Tan'er flashed in front of the old lady.

The old lady slapped her forehead and refused her approach.

Then the old lady asked expressionlessly, "Whose little black egg is this?"

Tan Er: “…”

"great grandmother."

Meng Qianqian walked down the stairs with brisk steps.

"Be careful!"

Nanny Li was so frightened that her soul came out of her. "Now she is a double-body, she is not the same as before."

Banxia said, "Mammy, don't worry. When the young lady was pregnant, she even went to deal with a very powerful Pavilion Master!"

Nanny Li's face darkened.

Banxia realized that she had let something slip, and her eyes flickered as she said, "I didn't say anything! Uh... Tan'er... did you call me?"

"Um, did anyone call——"

Banxia walked out, covered Tan'er's little mouth, and pulled her away.

"Banxia, ​​what are you doing?"

Tan Er pulled her hand away.

Banxia said awkwardly: "I said the wrong thing."

Tan Er asked in confusion: "You are wrong, why are you running?"

Banxia said bitterly, "Isn't this... I'm anxious? What should I do? If I tell everyone about the fight between the young lady and others, Nanny Li will start to nag the young lady again and scold me for not taking good care of her."

Tan Er folded her arms: "I thought it was some big mess. It's not the first day you've been scolded. Are you used to it?"

Banxia: “…”

Nanny Li wanted to find Meng Qianqian immediately to ask for clarification. Not to mention the past trip to the border, but now that she was pregnant, how could she continue to shout for war and killing?
However, the old lady was there, and she pulled Meng Qianqian aside and started to complain about her grievances in a very aggrieved manner, including but not limited to all her "tragic experiences" in the princess's mansion.

When Meng Qianqian saw that the old woman looked radiant, spoke clearly, was in good spirits, and walked briskly, she knew that Princess Wanping took very good care of her.

"Qianqian, you've been gone for so long, I'm so bored. Why did you come back just now? Is Wushan fun? Where's the little pig?"

The old lady kept talking, wishing she could talk to Meng Qianqian about everything she hadn't talked about in the past few months.

Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing and said, "Zhao Zhao is asleep. When she wakes up tomorrow morning, I will take her to Tinglan Garden to accompany my great-grandmother. I miss my great-grandmother too..."

The two talked for a long time.

Lu Yuan and Chen Long sat quietly in the room. When asked, they would answer a few questions. If not asked, they would just listen from the side.

Lu Yuan has long been accustomed to this daily routine.

For Chen Long, it was a rare experience.

He didn't find it boring at all.

By the time the old lady was drowsy, it was almost midnight.

He frowned.

I couldn't believe I spent half the night listening to an old man chatting about his daily life.

According to the plan, I was supposed to teach Meng Lang martial arts tonight.
-
When Meng Qianqian returned to Beijing this time, she was not in a hurry to visit relatives and friends, nor did she go to the palace to pay her respects to the emperor.

Lu Yuan also stayed indoors, looking like a carefree wanderer at home.

The Governor's Mansion closed its doors, and no news of the two men's return to the capital leaked out.

The two of them had a rare period of quiet time at home.

Nanny Li was very pleased.

She knew Meng Qianqian's personality too well. She was restless eleven out of ten days. She would either visit one house or go around that house.

It's not that she likes to be lively, but that she has too many things to deal with.

It is a rare opportunity that I can rest at home for a while without any distractions.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Yu Li went back to the Governor's Mansion.

He studied at the Imperial College and would return to the Governor's Mansion during the ten-day break every month.

At first he accompanied the old lady, and later when the old lady was taken to the princess's mansion, he would also visit her.

He thought this time would be no different from any other day, but unexpectedly he not only met the old lady, but also his cousin and cousin-in-law whom he had not seen for many days.

Yu Li was overjoyed.

This was the happiest time he had had since returning to the Governor's Mansion.

Then soon, he spotted another familiar face: "Meng Lang?"

Meng Lang bit into a crisp, sweet and juicy peach and said expressionlessly, "I've been standing in the garden for quite a while, and I just saw it."

Yu Li scratched his head embarrassedly: "I... I was just talking to my cousin."

Meng Lang turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Aren't you jealous?"

Lu Yuan: "Chen Long, he deserves to be punished."

Meng Lang's hair stood on end, and he ran away in panic: "It was just a joke, is it necessary to ask that guy to beat me up?"

One ferocious little girl is not enough, and now here comes the strict teacher Chen Long. When will his miserable days end?

He finally understood that he shouldn't have come to the capital!
This is not the capital city, it's his hell!
When Baozhuzhu reached the age where he could climb up the roof of a house and remove the tiles, he would climb trees and pick fruits every day.

It would have been fine if she picked other fruits, but she actually wanted to pick dates.

Madam Li held her chubby little hand and said, "The jujube tree is full of thorns. You can't climb it." "You have to climb it."

Bao Zhuzhu said.

Madam Li: “It hurts.”

Bao Zhuzhu shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

She secretly wore her mother's natural silk soft armor.

How could Nanny Li not know what she had done?

That damn invulnerable little jacket was left on the bed by the young lady on purpose.

The little guy thought he took it without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that the lady was watching him outside the window the whole time.

"And gloves."

Bao Zhuzhu took out a pair of silver silk gloves from his pocket and said, "Mammy, put them on."

Nanny Li put it on her with extremely complicated feelings.

The small jacket is fine, but it's too loose when worn on the body and can be regarded as a larger piece of clothing.

But she couldn't wear the silver silk gloves at all.

"Okay, let's go pick some other fruits. The dates aren't ripe yet."

Nanny Li wanted to persuade Baozhuzhu to leave.

"Just this."

Baozhuzhu insisted.

Madam Li called Madam Wan over and winked at her: "Miss Zhaozhao wants to climb a jujube tree, but there are so many thorns on the tree, is it possible to climb it?"

Nanny Wan frowned as she stared at the thorny date tree. After a while, an idea suddenly occurred to her: "I understand! Leave it to me!"

Nanny Li nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Nanny Wan disappeared.

When she came back, she had a sharp sickle in her hand.

Nanny Li was puzzled: "What are you doing..."

Before she finished her words, Nanny Wan grabbed the sickle and chopped off the thorns on the jujube tree in no time.

The Royal Palace of Loulan.

A Loulan secret guard who escaped from Youzhou knelt down in front of the Princess of Loulan, panting, after killing eight horses.

"princess!"

He kowtowed.

Princess Loulan, with a falcon perched on her arm, looked at him sternly: "You are the only one back? Where is the third prince?"

The secret guard said tremblingly: "The third prince... the third prince... was killed!"

Princess Loulan paused while stroking the falcon, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "What did you say?"

The falcon sensed the murderous intent and flapped its wings and flew away.

The secret guard was trembling with fear: "The third prince... the third prince met... the eldest prince in Youzhou..."

Princess Loulan walked up to him step by step and looked down at him: "Prince?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was chillingly sharp.

The secret guard felt as if a sharp knife was pressed against his heart: "I spoke out of turn! It's Shang Xu! A traitor from Loulan!"

After he finished speaking, he bravely stole a glance at the princess.

He saw a face that was stunningly beautiful, yet cold as ice.

Even though he learned the tragic news of his own son's death, he still managed to remain calm.

Princess Loulan asked word by word, "Are you saying that Shang Xu killed my son?"

"Yes!"

The secret guard said with cold sweat, "Protector Li is also dead..."

"Of course he must die."

Princess Loulan said coldly, "Since Shang Xu let you back, did he leave any words?"

The secret guards were impressed by the princess' intelligence and wisdom. No wonder the King of Loulan let the princess handle government affairs on his behalf after he became seriously ill.

"Shang Xu asked his subordinates to tell the king, 'He... is back for revenge!'"

Princess Loulan looked towards the direction of Da Zhou, her eyes gradually becoming darker.

"princess."

After the secret guards left, the maidservant whispered, "If you are sad, just cry."

Princess Loulan said expressionlessly: "I don't need that kind of useless thing."

She went to the bedroom of the King of Loulan.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a suppressed cough.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

It was Eunuch Hong who was working for King Shun of Loulan.

Princess Loulan paused for a moment until the coughing stopped, then she walked slowly into the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, the princess is here."

Eunuch Zhao said softly.

The King of Loulan lay sickly on a bed covered with a thick mattress. Even in the middle of June, he was wrapped tightly in a quilt.

He lazily opened his eyelids, as if wanting to take a look at his princess, but closed them again weakly.

Princess Loulan glanced at the medicine in Eunuch Zhao's hand and did not ask to feed him the medicine. Instead, she waited quietly for Eunuch Zhao to finish feeding him before she spoke calmly:
"Your Majesty, we have found Shang Xu's whereabouts."

The King of Loulan finally responded and turned his head with difficulty to look at her.

Princess Loulan said solemnly, "After the Shang family was wiped out, he fled to Yumen Pass, entered the Chu Palace, and became one of the twelve guards under the command of the Chu Grand Marshal. This has been confirmed and is absolutely true. Not long ago, he appeared in Youzhou."

"What does the princess want to say?"

The King of Loulan asked in a hoarse voice.

Princess Loulan said: "Shang Xu is the eldest son of His Majesty. Now that His Majesty is ill in bed, he should come to see his father."

The King of Loulan sneered: "His father is Shang Jue."

Princess Loulan seemed not to have heard his words. She looked up and gazed into the eyes of the King of Loulan, which looked older and weaker due to his serious illness.
"I want the king to go on a diplomatic mission to the Great Zhou and bring Shang Xu back to Loulan."
