Song Xiang wiped the corners of his lower lips, looked at the bright red color between his fingers, and his throat rolled.

The morning light shines on the Arhat's bed through the window, making her shadow long and distorted. There is a gentle rustling sound from the next door. Listen carefully, it is her five-year-old eldest son and her two-year-old son reciting poems, and there are

Servants from the capital were sweeping the yard.

Otherwise everything was business as usual, just like any other morning.

She is only twenty-three years old and has always been in good health. She has never had such a frightening moment.

She focused her eyes on the bowls and plates in front of her. In the morning, she only drank a bowl of mushroom soup and a small bowl of noodles. Based on her experience, there should be no problem with the food. Otherwise, when the family eats, why would the children

She could still play happily, but she was poisoned? But her discomfort did start after breakfast.

At that time, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and Lu Zhan frowned at her.

The severe pain in the abdomen caused some blood to overflow.

It’s a lie to not be afraid. But fear can’t solve the problem. This poison is a poison that can be solved in one step.

She thought about it for a moment. Last night, she still went to bed after looking around after Lu Zhan fell asleep. At that time, the night was quiet, the moon was like a silver plate, there was no movement from each house, and Lu Zhan's sleeping look on the bed was still the same.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his posture was straight, and his hair showed that even if he was forced to sleep on the same bed, he still had to set clear boundaries with her.

At that time, she was still thinking to herself. She already had two children. At this time, she still said that she should draw a clear line. Doesn't she think it's hypocritical?

...If there was something abnormal, it could only be that when she returned to the kitchen and turned off the lights after her inspection, the crack in the cupboard opening was broken.

Song Xiang is a person who usually does needlework and can remember in her mind how many needles it takes to embroider a peony flower. In the year she was demoted to Tanzhou, she inevitably had to cook and wash herself, and she was responsible for all the dishes and cupboards.

Yes, it will definitely not be random.

So she couldn't leave that crack.

She was also suspicious at the time, but after thinking about it, it was inevitable that something was wrong, and she didn't take it to heart after checking it.

Now that I think about it, the poison could only have been on the bowl.

But she is just an imperial concubine from a rural background with no background. Oh, even the imperial concubines are not anymore. They have become common people. During this year in Tanzhou, she was only a subordinate of Lu Zhan.

If she exists, why would someone poison her?

She picked up the bowl in front of her and put it down again.

It seems they killed the wrong person.

She was born in a rural area, even a daughter who lost her father. She had no background and no connections. She was just a sparrow that turned into a phoenix by chance.

Her husband, Lu Zhan, is the grandson of the current emperor and the eldest son of the Jin Palace. Seven years ago, she married Lu Zhan by decree. On the night of their wedding, Lu Zhan committed a crime and was sentenced to serve for half a year. Later, he returned to Beijing and was in a paddock again.

The hunting shocked the holy driver, who was accused on the spot, and the whole family was demoted to common people before being sent to Tanzhou.

All in all, there is no doubt that Lu Zhan's life is the most valuable among them, followed by the two children. She is the most dispensable. The poison was poisoned on the bowl, and the children were still young, so they used small bowls.

With their family of four, it was relatively easy to get rid of the children. Of the remaining bowls, whether it was her or Lu Zhan, one of them would always win - Lu Zhan, who is probably of royal blood, is more precious in life, God.

Bless him, so she became Lu Zhan's scapegoat.

A stronger pain came from her abdomen that stimulated her nerves. She swallowed and suppressed the fishy sweetness.

It was impossible to live, and the children also had grandparents. They avoided the children, which showed that they were still wary and would not even dare to do anything even if they thought about it, which made her feel relieved.

She pushed herself up and moved to the bed, knelt down with her knees weak, found a porcelain bottle, and drank a handful of medicine.

The medicine is an ordinary antidote. It will definitely not save her, but it can delay her for a while. She at least wants to see Lu Zhan. She has to entrust her children to him! She also has to let him know that he is

She, who looked down upon her all the time, finally died for him. He had to protect her children no matter what!

"Hey, Madam Lu, what's going on?"

Suddenly, a greasy and disgusting voice sounded in front of him. Because it was so harsh, Song Xiang knew which way the wild dog came from without even looking.

She stabilized her breath and raised her head, twitching her lips with a pale face: "General Tong is here to see our master?"

Tong Qing is the garrison general of Tanzhou Prefecture, and one of the people assigned by the imperial court to monitor and supervise their family.

Although he was spared the pain of prison and had certain freedom of movement within the jurisdiction of Tanzhou, after all, the government still had the responsibility of supervision. Every now and then, people from the yamen or the camp would come to their yard.

"I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for my wife." Tong Qing came to help her with saliva, "Why do you sit on the ground so early in the morning? Come on, I'll help you get into bed!"

Before his hand even touched Song Xiang, he heard a "pop" sound and was caught off guard by a slap on his face.

Although the force was not as strong as Song Xiang's usual, it still managed to leave a slap mark on his plump left face.

However, she also spent a lot of energy. Following the force of the slap, she leaned down and put her elbows on the ground, but she still said: "To be honest, General, I have indeed been suffering from a strange disease recently.

Whenever someone comes near me, my hands will itch, and I have to slap him a few times to feel better. Thank you, General, for your sympathy. I blame me for not warning you earlier. If you have offended me, please forgive me."

Tong Qing has coveted her for a long time. She has no power to resist at this moment, but she cannot accept his insults when she is about to die.

"Bitch!"

Tong Qing was filled with anger and stood up, planning to kick her.

Song Xiang's eyes were unblinking, and his leaning posture was inexplicably enchanting.

Tong Qing looked at her like this and pulled her feet back halfway.

He squinted his eyes and squatted down, changing his face: "If you give up on this idea, only a handful of princes and grandsons who have been demoted to common people from ancient times can be restored to their status. Several princes in the court have good character.

Lu Zhan is talented and knowledgeable, and there is no shortage of good things like the crown prince. Moreover, he committed a crime of disobedience. It is absolutely impossible for you to become the noble concubine of the emperor again in this life.

"I am quite satisfied with you. If you are willing to follow me and take advantage of this high mountain to live far away from the emperor, I will take you to my house to be your aunt, or I will find another place for you to live and enjoy your happiness. It is not impossible.

thing."

He changed his face, and Song Xiang also changed his mind.

As for those who have the chance to poison, those named Tong and others who supervise him from time to time are the most suspect.

But listening to what Tong Qing just said, it was obvious that he would wait for Lu Zhan to be unlucky again before taking possession of her. But if he was the murderer, how could he not know the current situation between himself and Lu Zhan? And if Lu Zhan

If Zhan had an accident, he would definitely say directly that he couldn't survive, and he would never waste his words on this.

So, the murderer is not him?

...No, now is not the time to worry about the murderer, she has to see Lu Zhan and tell him her last words!

He was still young, and her first wife, whom they had respected like "ice" for seven years and could not even get rid of, finally died. If he could survive, it would be a certainty to marry him again in the future! If she didn't tell him face to face,

If she forces him to swear, who knows if he will also leave her child behind?

Of course promises and oaths mean nothing, but that's better than saying nothing at all!

She had followed him up and down for the past seven years, and she had done her duty. Now she had lost her life because of him. No matter what, it was right for him to protect her two children! She wanted God to watch over her!

She swallowed again and said slowly: "If the general really has pity on me, he might as well allow my servants to call a doctor for me..."

They are not allowed to leave the city. Lu Zhan must be in the city. The small county town is not big. As long as the servants of the family appear on the streets looking for medical treatment, he will definitely receive the news. He will definitely come back after receiving the news. They have been married for seven years.

, although they have never had a heart-to-heart relationship, she knows that he still has some conscience.

"Madam! Madam!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old dressed as a maid stopped panting under the door, her excited face filled with joy: "Madam, the young master has returned to the capital! Someone came to the capital just now. When the young master saw them, he followed them.

We have entered the capital together! We should have left the city now. He sent his slaves back to tell the lady to take good care of the two brothers and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Song Xiang suddenly raised his head: "...you say it again?"

The maid was still in excitement and didn't notice anything strange about her at all: "My servant said that the young master has returned to Beijing, and the princess sent someone to pick him up - this is a good thing, madam! There is hope that the young master can regain his identity!"

Song Xiang looked at her for a long time, then suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"So that means that he left us, mother and son, and returned to Beijing alone to pursue his future without saying a word, right?"

The maid was stunned: "Madam...hey, madam, what's wrong with you? Madam!"
