Mrs. Qing successfully took her child to her side because Chen Minran was dead.

In order to appease Chen Mianzheng, Qi Xuanyi wrote a letter saying that Chen Minran had passed away due to a sudden illness. He also cremated Chen Minran's body that night because he was worried about the spread of the disease.

Chen Mianzheng received the letter and received the news of his daughter's death. He was greatly stimulated and fainted several times. However, he remembered his grandson in Chenzhou and his daughter who died tragically, so he forced himself to go to Chenzhou. trip.

Shang Shixu was the adopted son of Chen Miancheng, so he set out for Chenzhou with Chen Miancheng, nominally to handle Chen Minran's funeral affairs. In fact, Shang Shixu knew that this matter must be related to Lin Jingmo.

Just a few days ago, he had just received a letter from Qiaoxiang saying that Lin Jingmo had been seriously injured and had already thought of returning to Beijing to get back together with him. However, not long after, he received the news that Lin Jingmo was missing. It was the news of Chen Minran's sudden death.

Shang Shixu understood that Lin Jingmo might have returned to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

The emperor authorized the two of them to go to Chenzhou together. After walking for several days, the group finally arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion in Chenzhou. With the help of the Chen family's housekeeper, Chen Mianzheng's legs were almost weak and he could not stand firmly. In the mourning hall, as soon as he approached Chen Minran's coffin, he fell directly on it and cried bitterly, shouting: "Open the coffin! I want to see Miner one last time."

At this time, Qi Xuanyi, who was wearing plain clothes, hurriedly stopped him and said: "Master Yue Zhang, Min Ran is suffering from a bad disease and she is walking very fast. Many people say it is a plague! So for the safety of the whole family, Xiao Wang is good at doing... It is recommended that Minran’s body be cremated first. Her ashes are in this coffin!”

Chen Mianzheng burst into tears when he heard this, and cried even more sadly: "My good child, but... Min'er has been living in a boudoir for a long time, how could she contract the plague? Where are Xiuzhi, Sandalwood and the others?"

Qi Xuanyi hurriedly replied: "It was Sandalwood who often went out to buy. She first caught the disease and died, then the princess...and finally even the other girls and mothers in the garden slowly contracted the disease."

Chen Mian was sobbing softly, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart: None of the girls and mothers around Chen Minran were spared. How is this possible?
He wiped the tears on his face, and then said to Qi Xuanyi: "What about the child? How is my sweet grandson? His mother is usually very healthy and has contracted the disease. He is only a hundred-day-old child, but he can Survived?"

Qi Xuanyi was on guard, so he replied: "Because the Sandalwood epidemic was discovered early, Xiao Wang ordered people to take the child to another courtyard early. Fortunately, although he was young, he was well protected by the wet nurses. That’s why I’m fine.”

"Oh?" Chen Mianzheng said with his face still full of sadness: "In that case, all the wet nurses who served the prince have done their job. But I have never heard of any epidemic from the capital to Chenzhou?"

Big beads of sweat rolled down Qi Xuanyi's face. When he didn't know how to answer, Shang Shixu stood up and said to Chen Mianzheng: "Father, the Ministry of Revenue did hear that there was a locust plague in Nanling south of Chenzhou last year. This year Food was in short supply, and many people starved to death, with no one to bury their dead, so epidemics were inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xuanyi cast admiring glances at Shang Shixu.

However, Shang Shixu tried to find his wife Lin Jingmo among all the girls keeping watch.

What he didn't know was that after Chen Minran's death, Lin Jingmo's wounds worsened and he had been recuperating in Qingzhuyuan.She didn't even know that Chen Mianzheng and Shang Shixu were coming. If she knew that Chen Mianzheng was coming, she would definitely not miss this good show.

Lin Jingmo was lying on the bed, and Liu's mother came into the house holding a medicine box in her hand.

Mother Liu quietly came to Lin Jingmo's bedside, hung the curtains on both sides, and said softly: "Mo'er, it's time to change the dressing. Wake up." Lin Jingmo opened his eyes with some difficulty. , said weakly: "Thank you, Mother Liu."

Liu's mother applied ointment to Lin Jingmo's body, but the two heard Mrs. Qing shouting outside: "Where are you going to take my child?"

The manager of the palace quickly put his index finger on the tip of his nose and said: "Our prince is lucky. Zhongshu Ling has come from the capital. Not to mention other things, in his eyes, in addition to the princess's coffin, everything in the palace belongs to this child. !”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qing said quickly: "This is my child and has nothing to do with Chen Minran. How can they take him away from me again?"

The steward replied: "Keep your voice down, my Madam Qing! Apart from anything else, this prince's title is all because he is the son of the princess! Lord Zhongshu Ling still has countless official matters in the capital. I will stay for a long time, please bear with me longer, ah, bear with me longer!"

After hearing this conversation, Lin Jingmo realized that it turned out that Zhongshu Ling Chen Mianzheng was here.That's right, how could he stay in the capital and remain indifferent when his only daughter was tortured like this?

Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo pushed the door open, dragged his sick body out of the house and said, "Mrs. Qing, since the steward has said that he will take good care of the prince, he is the prince's biological son. How could they hurt the prince?"

Mrs. Qing then let go of her hand and said, "You must bring the child back intact."

Lin Jingmo looked at the people leaving and said to Madam Qing: "Madam, you should be careful in your words and deeds these days. Zhongshu Ling is cruel and ruthless. If he knows that the prince is the biological grandson of the princess, he will suffer disaster. Maybe it’s the prince himself!”

Mrs. Qing nodded reluctantly. Seeing Lin Jingmo's lifeless appearance due to the injury, she said with some distress: "Isn't it said that some places were already healed a few days ago, but now why..."

"It's just that the injury suffered before has worsened. It's not a problem." Lin Jingmo said with some worry: "Mrs. Qing, I'm afraid Chen Mian is here after all."

When Madam Qing heard what she said, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I heard that because you were about to be beaten with a stick, the person who saved you when you fainted also came with you."

At this time, Liu’s mother walked among them and said, “I heard that he is a high official, and his surname seems to be Shang!”

Business timing? !Lin Jingmo looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "Mama Liu, are you sure? Was it Shang Shixu who saved me at that time?"

Mother Liu was stunned.Said: "Yes, I really saw it at that time, it was indeed him."

Lin Jingmo felt a little uneasy. It turned out that Shang Shixu had known her whereabouts for a long time, so what was his purpose?Will he report what she did to Chen Mianzheng?
