Glory all the way

Chapter 309 Crisis
"Sister Luo, these days, rumors have been rampant, and all of them are related to the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Why don't you come back and stay for a while?"

In Qing'an Hall, the old lady Bai looked at Bai Yingluo with some distress and said.

First, he was invited to the palace to attend the second prince's half-year-old banquet, but at the banquet, he was framed and framed for killing the first prince.

All of a sudden, the Zhuangyuan Mansion, which was already under the gaze of everyone, attracted more and more attention. Those who wanted to walk with Du Xuan, and those who wanted to hear the news from Bai Yingluo, all flocked to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, making Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo It's too much trouble.

Seemingly agitated, Bai Yingluo lowered her head and hesitated. Seeing this, the old lady Bai didn't ask her any more, she just turned around and told Qiuwen, "You go to Zhuangyuan's mansion to look for agarwood, just say it's my intention, let her take sister Luo Bring the things that Brother Yan is used to to Lanxin Pavilion, and Sister Luo will live in the Hou's Mansion for a while."

After all, the old lady Bai muttered to herself as if she was angry: "I don't believe it, those people will chase after you to the Jing'an Hou's mansion? If that's the case, I will give orders, and if anyone dares to come to the door, let the servants have a meal." All the sticks were blasted out."

The older a person is, the more he looks like a child. In the Hou Mansion, whether it is Bai Shizhong, who is already the Marquis of Jingan, or Jia Shi, who is already a grandson-in-law, the old lady Bai is always coaxed and obeyed, and dare not have the slightest bit of love. Rebellious, but every time she was on Bai Yingluo's head, the old lady Bai was always stubborn like a straight young pine, trying to shield her from the wind and rain.

There was a layer of warmth in her eyes, Bai Yingluo pretended to turn her head to look at the new objects on the shelf, and blinked to hold back the tears.

When she saw an ugly stone with many holes placed in a grid, Bai Yingluo was taken aback for a moment. At the side, the old lady Bai noticed that she pursed her lips and smiled more kindly, "Brother Kun brought this a few days ago. Yes, it’s like offering a treasure, saying that he found it from the grass beside the flower pond, and it’s very similar to the picture of the immortal’s birthday in your grandfather’s study, and he also said that the protruding piece on it is the immortal’s forehead.”

"Brother Kun is just a pain in the ass, no wonder my grandfather put it on the antique rack, if he wants to put it in the past, whoever dares to mess with the things on it, my grandfather will definitely blow his beard and stare."

Bai Yingluo said jokingly.

After the words were finished, the old lady Bai became more and more complacent.

"That was given to me by Brother Kun..."

The joy from the heart made the old lady Bai's face more wrinkled, but the originally cloudy eyes became a little brighter at this moment. The old lady said with a little show off: "Your grandfather's birthday is over, and there are many guests in the family. Men, your grandfather received a lot of congratulatory gifts, Brother Kun saw it, and even complained for me, saying that I didn't get any of them. No, I sneaked into the backyard to catch a cricket to amuse me while the wet nurse was not in front of me. Relieve the boredom. But this season, and in the Hou Mansion, how can there be any crickets? He got this stone, said to give it to me as a birthday present, and held it in front of me..."

As she said that, the old lady Bai's eyes were a little moist, but her smile became deeper and softer.

Seeing her grandmother so happy, Bai Yingluo felt relieved at this moment.

Jing'an Hou was busy with government affairs, although he was a filial person, every day when he went back to old master Bai and old lady Bai, he would talk about outside affairs, and as the eldest son, he was more than loyal, but he didn't make jokes much.

The second bedroom and the fourth bedroom are now planning their little days all day long, even if they deliberately flatter old lady Bai to make her happy, in the eyes of the old lady, they are a bit more hypocritical.

Therefore, before she got married, Bai Yingluo stayed with the old lady Bai all day long, which was considered a happy fruit for the old lady.

After getting married, Bai Yingluo once worried that the old lady Bai had no one to talk to, and her already lonely life became more and more boring, but now it seems that the clever and clever brother Kun made up for this shortcoming.

Bai Jinyuan and Jia Shi are also kind and filial people, just look at their respect to the old master Bai and the old lady Bai, and they can be seen every morning and evening without any delay. In the afternoon, I brought Sister Ru to Qing'an Hall to show Mrs. Bai, and Brother Kun even lived in the warm pavilion of Qing'an Hall.

Looking carefully, the old lady Bai has a lot of silver hair on her head, but her spirit seems to be much better than when she was not married. Bai Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but complained pretendingly Said: "No wonder you don't often call me home, so there are Brother Kun and Sister Ru, so you can't take care of me anymore."

Hearing this, the old lady Bai laughed, stretched out her hand to pinch Bai Yingluo's nose, and turned her head to Zhao's mother and said, "See if she's ashamed, she's an aunt at such an age, and she's jealous of the two children."

Mother Zhao looked at the old lady Bai with a smile, "Miss Six is ​​60 years old, and she is also your most beloved granddaughter, it should be."

With a smile on her face, the old lady Bai cast a resentful glance at Zhao's mother, "She is 60 years old, so I must become an old goblin?"

Several people were chatting and laughing, and the Qing'an Hall was full of warmth, which gradually eased Bai Yingluo's exhausted mood a lot.

In the afternoon, Bai Yingluo leaned on the soft couch facing the window of Lanxin Pavilion, looked at the little birds picking up rice grains in the yard outside, and let out a long, inaudible sigh.

No matter what Loulan envoy's intention was when he said such words, Du Xuan's heart might be hard to calm down, right?

Bai Yingluo couldn't help remembering that several times when she woke up in the middle of the night, she could see a faint light in the right corner. The next day, she would find a lot of burnt paper scraps in the charcoal basin. At that time, she thought it was written by Du Xuan. The unsatisfactory manuscript, now it seems that Du Xuan wanted to write a letter to Du Yuan, but in the end it was burned because there was no address to send.

"Ma'am, the young master is here, talking to the old man in the study."

The curtain was raised, and Liu Ying came in to answer.

Looking down and seeing that Brother Yan was still sleeping soundly, Bai Yingluo nodded, indicating that she knew.

In less than half an hour, Du Xuan entered the room lightly.

Sitting on the side of the soft couch, Du Xuan said softly: "Grandmother told me that she wanted to keep you for a few days, which coincided with my intention. There are too many chaotic things these days, and you are not peaceful in the mansion. , why not just stay here for a few days, and take a few days off to adjust your mood."

"Where is the Loulan envoy? Have you ever had contact with it?"

In the past few days, Du Xuan was very worried, he didn't say anything, and Bai Yingluo didn't ask, but now seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, Bai Yingluo hurriedly asked about it.

Du Xuan smiled, "Even I don't know about my life experience. Grandpa Immortal passed away many years ago, and all the clues from that year have been cut off. As for the things in my hand..."

After hesitating for a while, Du Xuan had some unclear meanings in his eyes, "Loulan sent envoys to hope that the two countries will be as friendly as before, but the matter that is being spread now is beneficial to Song Dynasty, but it is not necessarily true for Loulan. It's a good thing. Therefore, I always feel that Loulan's actions are a bit inappropriate, so there must be some reason for this, so I can only wait and see what happens."

Whether it's the glazed pendant or the things Du Yuan left behind that day, they are all their last clues. If they are exposed so easily, they will bring wealth or disaster.

Du Xuan's worry was not unreasonable.

The husband and wife chatted for a while, and after dinner, Du Xuan went back to Zhuangyuan's mansion alone.

It was a lonely night, but in the post house in the east of the city, one of the rooms was brightly lit, and the entire courtyard reflected by it was a little bit brighter.

At the top of the room, sat the leader of the Loulan envoys, Mr. Sadoer.

"My lord, Feige sent a letter back to Loulan, and it will take half a month before we receive the reply. In this half month, how should we deal with that Lord Du?"

an official under the seat asked.

Sadore stroked his beard and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about the troubles outside, we just stick to the plan. If he is not the lost little prince, that's the best. From now on, he still has a bright future. Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, we will return to the country right now, everything will be safe and sound. If he is..."

After a pause, shrewd calculations flashed in Sadoer's eyes, "Those old men in the country are not so easy to deal with. If the Queen Mother and His Majesty want to recognize their sons and inherit the clan, it may not be so easy of."

At the moment there are only four people in the room except Sadoer, presumably, they are all trusted by him, but even so, when he said the words "recognize the son and return to the clan", the four people were still momentarily dazed.

The Loulan Kingdom has a history of hundreds of years, and the people in the country still respect their mothers. Therefore, the status of women in the Loulan Kingdom is extremely high.Even today's sage is a woman.

There are men and women in the military officials in North Korea and Chinese, but there is no opinion that men look down on women in power.

The current Lord of Loulan, Suerna, is only 22 years old, but he can be regarded as a genius.

She is the posthumous son of the current Empress Dowager, she was established as the Empress Dowager when she was born, she was in charge at the age of eight, and at the age of 12, she made independent decisions after discussing with the courtiers about major affairs in the court.

For so many years, she has carried out the New Deal, and she has won the love of the people of Loulan, and has achieved remarkable achievements.

However, in accordance with the saying that heaven is jealous of talents, after the age of 20, Suyerna's body became weaker and weaker. Although it was a secret of the palace, it was no secret among the aristocratic families.

At this time, it suddenly broke out that Suerna had a twin brother who was still alive, so how could there be chaos in Loulan Kingdom?

Today, a group of people headed by Loulan Prime Minister Wu Zhe wants to overthrow this statement, waiting for Suyerna to abdicate due to illness and support the royal children they have chosen to take the throne. The family is searching for the little prince lost in the past on a large scale. For a while, Loulan's country is surging.

"My lord, if such news is sent back to the imperial capital, it may be nothing more than a thunderstorm. By then, that Lord Du will be in a dire situation."

Someone in the seat said worriedly.

Sadoer's smile became more and more loose, but there was a calculation mixed in it, "The strong prey on the weak. If he wants to live a good life, he should have his own means, otherwise, he can only be slaughtered."

The night became darker and darker, and a dark cloud drifted past, blocking the crescent moon from prying into the world, and covering up all the conspiracies and calculations.
