Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 1098 The Empty Coffin

In the Five Prince's Mansion, guards stood outside the most remote courtyard in the west courtyard.

In the room, Zhuo Ran was leaning on the head of the bed with a hair band on and was feeding the baby.Her complexion is much better than when she was just pregnant, and the flesh on her face has grown back after a few months of supplementation, and she has regained the alluring beauty she had when she was married.

Standing by the bed were two servants, an old nanny and a maid.

The servant girl yawned and stood listlessly.

However, the old nanny kept bending slightly to look at Zhuo Ran on the bed, listening to orders at any time.

Zhuo Ran held the child and raised her face to look at the old mother and the maid. "It's getting late, you all go back to your house and rest." She has long looked down on the ups and downs of life, even if she moved out of the main courtyard where the princess lives, even if she is now a 'dead person', she doesn't care.

As long as the child is by her side, it is everything to her.

The servant girl bowed her head and saluted, then turned and left.

The old nanny looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "You can rest, miss, leave it to the old slave." After speaking, she stretched out her hands.

Zhuo Ran shook her head gently at the old nanny. "I'll take Bao'er myself, you can go down." The hand holding the child subconsciously tightened a little, now she only has Bao'er left!No one can take her away from him!
"Yes." The old mother bowed and stepped back to the door, closed the door and turned around but saw that the maid hadn't left.

The servant girl complained all over her face: "She is quite calm from being a princess to a dead person." She glanced at the silent mother and said: "Now we are also troubled, and after following her, I am afraid that there will be no bright future in this life. !"

The old mother quietly listened to the maid's self-pitying complaints, and remained silent all the time.

Prime Minister's Mansion the next day.

Zhuo Nan sat at the table and finished his breakfast, while Nanny Qian cleaned up the table.

Liandong looked at Zhuo Nan and asked for instructions: "Ma'am, the Fifth Prince's Mansion has sent news that the Fifth Prince has passed away. Would you... go to worship?" Remembering that the Fifth Prince Zhuo Ran has always been at odds with her.

"No." If Zhuo Ran really died, she might go to worship.But now the other party is not dead at all, can she go to pay homage to an empty coffin?

Liandong: "...Oh." It seems that the madam still bears a grudge against the fifth imperial concubine.Think about the fifth imperial concubine who was the number one beauty in the capital at the beginning, but now... oh, she is so beautiful!

The housekeeper Qing came in from the courtyard, looked at Zhuo Nan and said, "Madam, the carriage to Zhuo's Mansion is ready, and the master is waiting for you in the carriage."

"Yeah." Zhuo Nan stood up and walked out.

Situ House.

Ziyuan is also asking Zhuo Qing for instructions.

Zhuo Qing touched her swollen belly and said: "The Fifth Prince's Mansion is like a wolf's den and a tiger's den to me now, so I don't want to go. I just dismissed the people sent by the Fifth Prince's Mansion because my wife is inconvenient."

"Yes."

Ziyuan dismissed the servants of the fifth prince's mansion, but the servants left as usual, and returned to the mansion to report.

The Fifth Prince's Mansion held the funeral of the Fifth Imperial Concubine, and only the court ministers came.

None of Zhuo Ran's relatives were present, and the coffin was buried within three days.

Outside the west courtyard, the servant girl heard the news, looked at the old nanny who was cleaning the table and said jokingly: "She's 'dead', Mrs. Jing and Mrs. General didn't come, tsk tsk tsk!"

In the inner room, Zhuo Ran was standing by the corner with her infant child in her arms, just in time to hear the servant girl's words.

Zhuo Qing has a feud with her for killing her mother.

Zhuo Nan hated her too.

She died, the two of them didn't know how happy they would be, how could they come to worship.

Walked out with the baby in his arms.

When the servant girl saw her, the servility in her bones made her stand up and bow her head to salute.

Zhuo Ran didn't seem to hear anything, so she ordered lightly; "Get some hot water to wash Bao'er." The child just shitted.

Holding the child, she turned around and walked into the inner room to lie down on the bed.

The servant girl hurried to fetch hot water, even if Zhuo Ran lost power, even if she was a 'dead' person, she was still her master.

~~~~~~~~~~
Zhuo Nan returned to Zhuo's mansion with Qingjiu's disguised scene, and returned to the mansion after a lunch, during which Qian and the others never found out that the son-in-law was not him.

After returning home, Zhuo Nan was fidgeting, and ran to the study to summon the steward Qing to inquire about Jing Rong's retreat again.

Because she found out that there are strangers watching her these days!
But Qingyi didn't deal with the other party like before!
The young butler was silent.

Zhuo Nan thumped in his heart, stared at her and ordered: "I want to see him!"

The steward Qing said coldly: "The master is recovering from a failed retreat. You can't go to him. If his hiding place is exposed, his life will be in danger."

Zhuo Nan pursed his red lips tightly but stared at her without saying a word.

The steward Qing had no choice but to explain again: "Don't worry, the master's failure in retreat this time was only backlashed by internal force, and there is no danger of his life if his skill declines. But if you insist on seeing him, you will definitely expose his hiding place. Inviting a killer puts the master in crisis."

Zhuo Nan sensed that she wasn't lying, and still questioned: "Is it related to the people who watched me these days?"

Steward Qing: "...you've already noticed it."

Didn't he lose control of the mother Gu?How could she still be aware that someone was watching her?

Even if there is a distance limit to distinguish people by hearing their voices, but the people monitoring her are all ambushing outside the house at a very long distance, so it is impossible for her to distinguish people by hearing their voices.

So how did she find out?
The steward Qing nodded and confirmed: "The people monitoring you are also disciples of Xueshamen, but the difference is that they are all subordinates of the Third Elder, Xun Minguo Saintess.

For you, the master ordered Yan Huichun to kill the Fourth Elder Zhou Hao, who is also the regent of the Zhou Kingdom.

Yan Huichun successfully completed the task, but...Qingliu failed to assassinate the saint.

Because you are pregnant now, the saint does not dare to do anything to you, but wants to seek revenge from the master.

Qing Yi is only responsible for protecting your safety, he does not want to participate in the battle between the master and the elders, and those disciples are ordered by the saint to not harm you.So as long as they don't step into the mansion and get too close to you, Qingyi won't kill them. "

After hearing this, Zhuo Nan fell silent with a dignified expression.

The holy girl and Zhou Hao are siblings, Zhou Hao was killed by Yan Huichun, but the holy girl escaped, and sent someone to monitor her to seek revenge on Jing Rong.

Looking up at the steward Qing, he suddenly asked, "When will Qingliu return after failing the mission?"

The steward Qing frowned slightly and said, "She didn't dare to return to the capital after failing her mission, and she still stayed in the Republic of Mystery, waiting for an opportunity to find out the hiding place of the saint, trying to make up for her mistakes. As long as the saint dies, a new elder will naturally succeed her, and she will be busy afterwards If you tame your disciples, you will naturally have no time to participate in inner sect battles."

Zhuo Nan pondered for a while, staring at the butler Qing with sharp eyes. "Are you sure that Jing Rong's injury is all right?" She was afraid that the steward Qing would report the good news instead of the bad, and Jing Rong was too seriously injured to make her worry, so she ordered the steward Qing to lie and deceive her.

The butler Qing lowered his head slightly. "Slave is sure."
