Now that she had no Nanny Wei, the servants and wives that were placed down by the Grand Madam were sent away by Lin Shu. She did not have any worries now, so she picked up her brush and wrote a reply to Lu Jingran.

After she finished writing the letter, Lin Shu couldn't help but frown as she looked at the carving Xiao Kai. This Lu Jingran was her cousin in name, how could she not be respectful when she used words like this?

Another letter was finished, but it seemed to her that it was too casual to ask where the oranges were bought.

After going back and forth for quite some time, the letter finally came to an end.

Waiting for the letter to return to Lu Jingran's hands, it was already noon of the second day. At this time, Lu Jingran was currently being locked in the courtyard by the National Duke Ning's wife, the National Duke Ning had bestowed him with a name.

Although Princess Changze was like a bird with its wings broken, he was still in Fujian!

Heh, what a crime.

It should be known that the National Duke Ning was the direct descendent of the Empress Zhang, and was on the same boat as the Empress Zhang in the first place. Since the Empress Zhang had already treated the Princess Changze like this, the National Duke Ning Palace could be considered to have indirectly formed a feud with the King Rui.

However, no one could find anything wrong with it.

Lu Jingran was used to the National Duke Ning trying to steal from him. Although he was being held captive in the yard, how could this small courtyard not have him? Isn't it as good as entering and leaving as he pleases!

Now, he was reclining on the rattan chair under the great banyan tree, and when he saw the reply that Lin Shu wrote to him, a slight smile actually appeared on his face. It seems like Empress really doesn't want to bother with this matter anymore, but she won't easily take Princess Changze's life. All she wants is for Princess Changze to live a life worse than death. "

Empress Zhang was a very thoughtful person. Originally, she wanted to take away Princess Changze's life, but the news that came from Fujian a few days ago made her dispel this suspicion. There were pirates invading Fujian, and the King Rui led soldiers and generals to repel the pirates … He immediately changed his mind. Princess Changze had to survive, at least for now.

However, there were thousands of ways to live, if the Princess Changze was crazy or foolish, it would have nothing to do with her.

Just as he was thinking, Ban Xia's voice came from not too far away, "Aiya, Mr. Bai, you're a handful of old bones, but slow down.

Lu Jingran turned his head to look, only to see Ban Xia supporting Mr. Bai as he walked over. Presumably, Mr. Bai had just jumped down from the courtyard wall and dodged his waist.

The Mr. Bai was raised outside by him, but before he passed away, he was helped by many, for example, there was a secret passage outside that led directly to the fake mountain next to the Banyan Garden. It would be much easier for the Mr. Bai to enter and exit the Banyan Garden.

Even this name was taken down from the of the old National Duke Ning when he was still alive.

Now, the Mr. Bai walked over with his hands on his waist, "... You still have the heart to take a nap here? The people we sent out didn't find the child at all? "Are you sure you heard someone say that the child was in Baoding?"

"Of course it's true!" Lu Jingran sat up straight, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "That child is wearing a jade pendant, and there is a birthmark between his calf and thigh, these cannot be fake, otherwise I would not have thought of ways to protect him."

Because he wanted to ensure his safety, he took advantage of Lin Shu's villa and saved her life.

Mr. Bai did not even have a hint of a smile on his face. He stroked his beard and said solemnly: "Did someone beat us to it? "But no one has ever been clear about that child's past. Logically speaking, no one would have beaten him to it …"

"That's hard to say. When First Prince entrusted this child to me that day, there might have been other people present!" Before he was sent to the, Lu Jingran had sent this child to a farmer's house and gave him a sum of silver, telling the pure and kind couple to take good care of the child. But who knew that after he returned from the Tianjin a while ago, this child had even disappeared along with the couple, and he had even sent his grandfather's secret guard to investigate, finally obtaining some information. Now, the clue was cut off, "Based on the meaning of the Emperor now, it is clear that he regrets the matter of the First Prince.

However, in the entire history of the Daqing Dynasty, there had been a time where the royal grandson had inherited the throne. Although the possibility of the child of the First Prince inheriting the throne was not high, if the child did not die, how could the wild jackals and leopards in the palace feel at ease? I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep soundly at night.

Mr. Bai shook his head, "This person is really heartless, he really is a pitiful child! Originally, it was a golden opportunity, but now, he had fallen into an unknown situation … Who do you think will do this? "

"This is hard to say …" When the First Prince died in the dungeon that day, he was overcome with grief and followed the First Prince out. At that time, the He family wrote a letter to the Emperor saying that there were many suspicious points regarding this matter, and Old Master He also suffered the fate of passing away due to hatred from the Emperor. Although the He family may not be as powerful as they were back then, but they still have some connections.

Saying that, Lu Jingran paused for a moment, "But the possibility of the He family finding that child is very small, I actually think that it is possible that those few people in the palace will be able to do so."

Currently, the position of Crown Prince had yet to be decided. The princes and officials within the palace were all stirred up as they tried to find out who had followed them.

Once the success was over, if they were in the wrong team, it was possible to lose the lives of everyone in the family!

Not to mention that the ministers were all trying to test the emperor's intentions, even the princes and concubines couldn't hold themselves back anymore. But after the emperor established the First Prince as the crown prince, he didn't have the intention to appoint any other princes as the crown prince anymore. Even if the bold ministers occasionally wrote that the position of crown prince would cause chaos in the imperial court and cause fear among the citizens, but before they could finish speaking, the emperor's face had already darkened.

Heh, back then you were such a decisive and decisive emperor, sitting on the Dragon Throne. The taste of greed for power, but in the end, you became cowardly and afraid of death. Those words "Long live our Emperor", did it really make him think that he could live for tens of thousands of years?

The Mr. Bai thought for a moment, then said: "That is possible, besides the Third Prince, there is also the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince who have such a motive. Although the Sixth Prince's talent is average, he can't go against the Sixth Prince's confidence, not to mention the Seventh Prince who is talented and has the Imperial Consort Li supporting him.

"But even so, the Seventh Prince does not have much of a chance of winning the fight for the throne. If he is young and intelligent, it means that the Seventh Prince has not fallen enough. If the Seventh Prince were to fall down a few times, he would probably learn to be as well-behaved as the Third Prince. " Although the Imperial Consort Li had gained the favor of the Emperor for more than ten years due to her drop dead gorgeous appearance, in terms of scheming and tricks, she couldn't compare to the Empress Zhang. Now, she had already arranged a marriage for her own son. This girl was the daughter of the Guo Family, although her status was honorable, she was still equivalent to the two Lateral Consort s by the third prince's side.

I'm afraid that the Imperial Consort Li and Seventh Prince already know that the Third Prince has the support of the National Duke Ning Palace, so they want to win over the Guo Family!

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "In a few days, the Third Prince will have to accept the Lateral Consort. The Eighth Prince has invited me to come along, and he has directly said that it would add some joy to the Third Prince's life.

When men gathered together, they would inevitably have to drink a few cups. If they drank too much, they might be able to see some flaws in it.

Mr. Bai could not help but nod his head, but Ban Xia took the initiative and said: "... But how are you going to explain it to the Madam? "

Lu Jingran looked at him deeply, "I don't intend to explain anything to her in the first place."

When he was young, the National Duke Ning did not have the ability to take his life, let alone now.

"Actually, I have something to tell you today." When it came to this matter, the Mr. Bai was extremely careful, and even ordered Ban Xia to stand guard at the entrance. Although Lu Jingran seemed to be angry with the National Duke Ning Madam and chased out of the room, it was possible that someone might accidentally barge in, "It's regarding the matters over at the Princess Changze … Previously, I felt that there was something fishy about Princess Changze's crime, but when I sent people over to take a look, they found something wrong. Princess Changze passed out a letter from the nunnery, do you know where did this letter go? "

Lu Jingran said: "You sent it to Fujian?"

"You and I think the same. After all, the empress dowager doesn't care about the Princess Changze anymore. Other than the one in Fujian, no one else would care about the life and death of the Princess Changze. But this letter wasn't sent to Fujian." Mr. Bai's voice was low and had some doubt, "That letter was sent to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion!"
