When Xiao Xu returned to Yanxu Palace, the table was already full of dishes waiting for her.
"I didn't say that if it's time, you will have your meal, and you don't have to wait for me to come back." Xiao Xu walked over quickly and scolded the person who was waiting for him with a smile.
Chu Qingyan pouted and retorted, "You have people cook this and that for me all day long, and I'm not hungry. Besides, the family, of course, have to wait for you to come back before eating, I will eat it by myself. what is the matter!"
Xiao Xu sighed lightly. The little guy can always warm his heart in just a few words. He raised his hand and stroked her head, "Then I will try to get things done as soon as possible and come back."
"That's the best!" She gave him a cowardly smile.
Xiao Xu squeezed her face and sat down with her.
Some time ago, although her reaction was not very strong, she couldn't see the oily smell or smell the meat, so most of the time at the dinner table were green vegetables and radishes, pickled vegetables and tofu, and in order to accompany her, Xiao Xu would eat whatever she ate during that time. What to eat made her feel so distressed, but she said that he would share weal and woe with her. She remembered that he said that having a child was an extremely hard thing, and he couldn't bear it for her, so he could only focus on these little things. accompany her. What moved her at the time is still heartwarming when she thinks about it now.
So now, after she can accept these tastes, she asks the imperial kitchen to prepare all kinds of delicious food, in order to make up for the lack of nutrition of the big ice cubes at that time, this has not yet been enthroned, can not let people I thought she had deducted her family's big ice rations! Let the big ice bear the reputation of a strict wife.
Although her body has become a little heavier recently, the little guy is not as tired as in the past few months. Seeing her cheerful appearance every day, Xiao Xu is also in a good mood.
Even the ministers who work with him clearly feel that the prince has a much better temper. Originally, the prince was like a moving ice cube. If they were not happy, they would freeze into blocks. Fortunately, the little princess was there. To kowtow thank you.
Of course, Chu Qingyan didn't know these things.
"The Fu family will go to the execution ground tomorrow, will Xiao Ran really show up? I think he should see that this is a trap." Chu Qingyan bit the sweet and sour pork ribs he handed over and asked.
Xiao Xu wiped the stain on the corner of her mouth and said calmly, "It's not up to him. Even if he doesn't show up, his whereabouts have already been exposed, and he will be arrested and imprisoned sooner or later. You don't have to worry about it."
Chu Qingyan sighed faintly, "In the end, I have come to this point. I would rather he stay away from the court, stay away from Xixuan, fly away and never come back."
Xiao Ran was at fault, but he did not cause all this. It can be said that he just became an accomplice of others without knowing it.
"It's hard, don't forget, there is Concubine Yue next to him. Although so many things happened, some aspects of him still haven't changed, such as his soft ears." Xiao Xu shook his head.
Chu Qingyan remembered the concubine Yue who had torn her face and exposed her ambition in front of the emperor's couch. She had to admit that Xiao Ran was well protected by her, and at the same time she became a sharp sword in her hands. It was also his misfortune to meet such a mother. and sorrow.
Seeing the thoughtful look of the little guy, Xiao Xu patted her hand and said with relief, "We are just dust in the world, we can't interfere in other people's lives, and we can't change them."
Chu Qingyan nodded, Xiao Ran had gotten to the point where he was today, and it was his own fault, even if they were friends once, they couldn't help him.
The night was quiet.
Xiao Ran is standing in the courtyard, tomorrow is going to rob the court, but at this moment his heart is extremely calm.
Concubine Yue was not at ease, she came over under the guidance of her servants, and what she saw was the scene of him staring at Yue in a daze.
Concubine Yue walked up. At this time, the person under the tree noticed that someone was coming, turned around, and the sight of the two collided in mid-air.
"It's so late, isn't the mother-in-law going to rest?" Xiao Ran gathered his emotions and asked with a smile.
Concubine Yue sighed, "Concubine Mu can't sleep, so I'm a little worried about tomorrow."
Xiao Ran smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, concubine mother, my son has already made a foolproof plan."
Concubine Yue was still a little worried and wanted to explain something, but when she saw her son's eyes became colder and more alienated, she groaned in her heart, and the smile on her mouth was a little stiff, "Ran Er, what do you do to Concubine Mother? dissatisfied?"
Xiao Ran shook his head, "My son doesn't dare."
"Don't dare? That's it." Concubine Yue is not stupid, knowing that she has been forcing him to do things at this stage, he is dissatisfied, "Is there anything we can't say? Concubine Mu can see that you recently Something on your mind."
When Xiao Ran heard this, he looked deeply at him, the closest relative in the world, "Mother, there are some words that I have been hiding in my heart for a long time, but I have never found a chance to say it."
Concubine Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Go ahead, Concubine Mu, listen."
"To this day, has the mother-in-law ever regretted it?" Xiao Ran asked, looking into her eyes word by word.
"regret?"
"Yes, to this day, Erchen feels that we seem to have done a lot of wrong things."
The smile on Concubine Yue's face suddenly disappeared when she heard this, and her voice was a little unpleasant, "Ran Er, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly do something wrong!"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Ran smiled weakly, "Our family of three is living well, why do we do these things to gain power? We have never been mistreated, have we?"
Didn't the two stab into the deepest part of Concubine Yue's heart, she screamed, "What do you know? This world is the law of the weak, if you don't have power, you will be eaten alive by others sooner or later, if you don't fight for it, you will be eaten alive by others. When others step under your feet, only when you have power and stand in the highest place can you live a fulfilling and carefree life!"
"So for your own selfish desires, you can hurt even your closest people?" Xiao Hou felt that the blood on his body was about to freeze, but he couldn't stop the heartache from deepening.
Concubine Yue was a little stunned, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Ran'er what are you talking about, why can't Mother Concubine understand a word?"
Xiao Ran raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, the moonlight fell on him, looking very cool, "No, concubine, Erchen knows that you can understand, and knows what Erchen is saying better than anyone."
Concubine Yue looked at him in disbelief, "Don't you know?"
"My son sent someone into the palace to investigate after you had an accident, so—" He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "My son knows everything that happened in your father's bedroom."
Concubine Yue took a few steps behind her back, looked at him embarrassedly, and said, "Then why didn't you expose me in the first place?"
