I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 326 Conspiracy
"Brother Yuanxun..." Although Leng Yuanxun had already restored his real name Murongjue, Princess Qingyu still used to call him by the old name, "If... if we are not cousins, and she has never appeared before, you will like it Me?"

Leng Yuanxun paused, but he didn't turn around, only a cool voice came to Princess Qingyu's ears, "Life is nothing if."

Yes, there are never ifs in life.

Princess Qingyu seemed to understand something, or she had understood it a long time ago, but she was just unwilling.

Those who should be let go must be let go after all, otherwise the only one who will be tortured is yourself.

When Leng Yuanxun conveyed Princess Qingyu's words to Qu Lingxu, the latter just smiled lightly, "This is the real her. If she is really grateful to me regardless of the past, then I should really be careful."

Winter nights are always long. When Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu were looking at each other, Li Shi and Leng Yuanling also sat opposite each other in Huaiyang Hou's mansion, but they were different from the warmth and comfort of the former. The expressions on their faces are very dignified, and there is a tendency that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building.

"Mother, it has been a few months since Leng Yuanxun regained his true identity. His son is now the eldest son of the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, and he should be established as the eldest son due to reason and reason. But we have been making sidelines for so long, and my father just refused. Let go, on the contrary, he values ​​Leng Yuanquan more and more, if this continues, I'm afraid he will be the son of the world!"

What Leng Yuanling cares most about is power and status. Before, Leng Yuanxun, the eldest son who is both civil and military, suppressed him. Now the 'big mountain' pressing on his head has been removed, and Li's family has also been restored from the concubine's room. His status is very different. He thought that it would be a matter of course for him to inherit the title, but he didn't expect that Leng Yuanquan would come from behind and enter the palace. In the eyes of Marquis Huaiyang, if he could still calm down, he wouldn't be Leng Yuanling.

"Isn't your mother anxious, but your father made it clear that he is busy with affairs in the previous court, and he will think about it after a while. I can't use a knife to force him to write the paperwork for the establishment of the son!" Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples, The face that still has charm is full of sorrow.

For a high-ranking and wealthy family, when the head of the family is still alive, the mother is naturally more valuable than the son, but once the head of the family dies, the position will be reversed, and the mother will be more expensive than the son. Naturally, his mother, Aunt Huang, would be promoted as Huaiyang Hou Ping's wife. Although on the surface, the two are equal, no one can tell which of the two old ladies is more important.

Their mother and son are afraid that they will be 'kicked out' of Huaiyang Marquis Mansion soon and start anew, just like Leng Yuanling's incompetent appearance, pointing out that he has no hope of earning fame by relying on his true talents and learning.

The evening scene was bleak.

Li Shi was just talking casually in a hurry, but she didn't expect Leng Yuanling to hear it in her heart. He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Why not?"

Although the physical condition of Marquis Huaiyang has improved a lot after the last operation, in general, it is not as good as before, especially after seeing Leng Yuanxun firmly seated on the throne, his thoughts that have been hanging for many years have settled down. As soon as the breath is relaxed, the whole person is getting old very quickly.

Today's Marquis of Huaiyang is no longer the mighty general who frightened the enemy on the battlefield, but a dying patient. If he adds another fatal stimulus at this time, he may die on the spot .

Forehead?
Mrs. Li looked at Leng Yuanling in astonishment, and almost couldn't help jumping up, "You are crazy! Now Leng Yuanxun is the emperor, and he has always respected Lord Hou. If there is something wrong with Lord Hou, we will be the first to bear the brunt of it." Mother and child, let alone the position of the son, even life will not be preserved!"

The position of the son of the world is good, but one must have the life to sit on it.

"Leng Yuanquan, regardless of shame, secretly communicated with his father's concubine. When his father found out about their scandal, he was so angry that he couldn't afford it..." Leng Yuanling looked at Li Shi with a smile, "Mother, what does this have to do with us?" relation?"

The Marquis of Huaiyang is not considered obsessed with beauty. For so many years, apart from the Li family and the Huang family who had been with him earlier, he only took in a young concubine Wen Shi three years ago. The Wen family used to clean the study. The maid, because her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the deceased Mrs. Huaiyang Hou, her personality is as gentle and considerate as her surname. Once she came and went, she fell into the eyes of Huaiyang Hou, and after that she even raised a noble concubine. She can be said to be a thriving .

Being able to gain the appreciation of the Marquis of Huaiyang in such a short period of time, the Wen family is not a gentle little girl. She knows very well that the prosperity and wealth in front of her are hard-won. If she wants to keep her status for a long time, she must give birth to an heir. I don't know if she was unlucky or fell into the secret tricks of other concubines. Although she flattered the Marquis of Huaiyang in every possible way, she still showed no signs of pregnancy. In the past year, Marquis Huaiyang's health has deteriorated greatly, so naturally he doesn't care about her .

So, she had other thoughts, and secretly tried to curry favor with Leng Yuanquan.

Although Leng Yuanquan is also obsessed with Wen's unique style of young women, he is not a fool. How could he allow himself to do such foolish things that ruin his future at such a critical juncture of vying for the position of son? To keep a distance from Wen's.

If he didn't do it, Leng Yuanling pushed forward.

I have to say that this is indeed a good way. After all, the Wen family and Leng Yuanquan often have contact, and the servants who serve the Marquis of Huaiyang are all aware of it, but the risk is also greater. After all, something happened to Leng Yuanquan , the biggest beneficiary is Leng Yuanling, who will inevitably be suspected.

Thinking in this way, Mrs. Li moved the teacup in hand, and said in a deep thought: "Let me think of a surefire plan, we can't act rashly."

"What else is mother thinking, isn't there a perfect opportunity right now?" Leng Yuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a complacent evil smile.

"You mean... New Year's Eve?"

"On New Year's Eve, my father will go to the palace for a banquet according to the usual practice. Neither my son nor Leng Yuanquan has a title, so we naturally have to stay in the mansion. At that time, just a little..." Leng Yuanling didn't continue talking, He believes that Mrs. Li, who has been immersed in the inner house for many years, can understand.

Leng Yuanling was only thinking about getting rid of the threat of Leng Yuanquan. As for how much the Marquis of Huaiyang would be hit on New Year's Eve, and whether he would get seriously ill or even die due to excessive anger, it was completely out of his consideration. .

In his perception, if the Marquis of Huaiyang did not make him his son, there would be no trace of father-son relationship between the two of them, and there would be nothing left but calculations.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to my mother to arrange carefully. You must hold your breath and don't show the slightest bit. Do you understand?"

"Mother, don't worry, the son has his own measure."

The matter was settled now, all the power in the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Huaiyang was in the hands of Li Shi, and it was easy to tamper with Wen Shi and Leng Yuanquan's diet.

But this timing needs to be carefully grasped, because the shocking power of seeing is believing far exceeds hearsay.

The Marquis of Huaiyang didn't know that his wife and children had planned to kill him for the sake of power and status. At the palace banquet, he looked at Leng Yuanxun and Qu Lingxu who were sitting on the high place singing in harmony, loving and happy. Quite gratified, after the banquet was over, Qu Lingxu kept in mind the physical condition of Marquis Huaiyang, and deliberately left him behind. After taking his pulse, he smiled and said, "Father's health is much better than ordinary people, and his recovery is also exceptional. It’s better, as long as you take your medicine on time and don’t have big mood swings, you should be fine in a short time.”

As for the long run... No matter how good Qu Lingxu's medical skills are, he can't control life, old age, sickness and death. He can only do his best to prolong the life of Marquis Huaiyang.

Hearing Qu Lingxu's words, Leng Yuanxun was about to add a few words, but he saw that Huaiyang Hou had stood up from his chair, bowed and said: "The empress can just call the minister by his name, and you must never use the old thing to refer to him." It is commensurate, otherwise it will be the crime of the humble minister."

"Father, there are only Xu'er and I here, and there are no outsiders, so why are you so cautious."

Unlike Leng Yuanling's hard-hearted heart, even if Leng Yuanxun became a superior, his respect for the Marquis of Huaiyang did not decrease by half.

"The emperor's words are wrong." Huaiyang Hou shook his head, "The order of respect and inferiority is right at all times. There is no difference between inside and outside. Please allow the emperor to agree, otherwise I will really feel uneasy." Saying this With that, Marquis Huaiyang was about to kneel down.

"Father, what are you doing?" Leng Yuanxun hurriedly stopped the Marquis of Huaiyang, and sighed slightly: "I promise you, but you also promise me that when we meet in private in the future, you must never kneel down and worship. Otherwise, what I just said won’t count.”

The Marquis of Huaiyang was very aware of Leng Yuanxun's temperament, and also understood that the other party had already made concessions, so he respectfully said: "Yes. I thank you, Your Majesty."

It was late, and it was inconvenient for Leng Yuanxun to stay with Marquis Huaiyang for more chat. He only said that he would send the other party to the gate of the palace in person. Marquis Huaiyang instinctively refused, but when he raised his head and met Leng Yuanxun's meaningful eyes, he knew that the other party was If you have something to say to yourself alone, you have to agree to it.

On the way, Leng Yuanxun chatted with the Marquis of Huaiyang as before, and then he gradually turned to the topic and asked: "Father, you often bring Quan'er by your side to teach yourself recently, do you intend to let him inherit the position of son? "

It's good that Leng Yuanxun didn't mention it, but when this matter was mentioned, Huaiyang Hou couldn't help sighing again, "In terms of aptitude and talent, Ling'er and Quan'er are not only far behind you, but even worse than me back then. Ling'er is impetuous, Everything is eager for quick success and quick profit, and there is no half-steady energy. If Nuo Dahou's mansion is handed over to him, even if you take care of him, it may not be able to protect him from danger. On the contrary, although Quan'er is younger, he has a good temper , I can also get down to do something, in comparison, I feel more at ease."
