Song Xiang remembered that in the past, when she was feeding her little son and changing his diaper, that bastard Lu Zhan would hold his head high and hit him as he passed by, as if he couldn't recognize that he was the owner with a wife and children. Now he would stop specifically to meet by chance.

She paid for it, does that mean that the indifference in the previous life was really just for her?

This damn scumbag!

She chopped open the tube bone on the chopping board.

Lu Zhan sneezed as soon as he got on the carriage.

Look at the sky, the sun is shining brightly.

He turned around and looked at the village again. He originally thought that he was very sincere by paying eighty taels in compensation. As long as Song Xiang accepted it, he could part ways with her safely and without any psychological burden. Unexpectedly, she actually

Without saying a word, he left him and entered the door...

Lu Zhan recalled her expression and eyes, and always felt that he was like a clown in her eyes.

Lu Zhan didn't feel offended. Considering that she was trapped by that imperial edict for seven years in her previous life, gave birth to two children for him, and finally became a widow because he died outside, he couldn't blame her—

-After all, he is a man, and he must have some grace. He just doesn't understand how she could be like this in this life?

In his previous life, in order to prevent her from having unrealistic expectations for him, he always kept a certain distance from her. She was never left out like this at that time.

He remembered that he had never seen her angry before. She was as patient as she needed to be with the two children. She always maintained etiquette with both superiors and subordinates. Why did she get angry at him when he tried to apologize to her properly?

?

The whole way back home, Lu Zhan's brows did not relax.

Song Xiang did not accept his money, and the matter hung there like a stone, which made him always feel uneasy. He told Chonghua: "Don't mention this matter to the prince when you go back. The money needed will also come from

I'll take it out of my private treasury."

After saying that, he repeated: "Purchase what I mentioned as soon as possible and send it to the Song family. Make sure she accepts it. If she doubts that I gave too much, just tell her that in addition to apologizing, her father, Mr. Song, is still alive."

At that time, we were old acquaintances with our prince.

"Mr. Song's untimely death is a loss to the imperial court. Meeting him means we are destined to meet him. I admire Mr. Song's knowledge and character, and hope to give me some thoughts."

Chonghua probably heard this as a bit ridiculous: "How does the prince know that the prince and Miss Song's father are old acquaintances?"

"I know a lot of things."

Lu Zhan quickly lowered the car curtain.

Song Yu was an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and the King of Jin often walked around the palace, so it was not surprising that they knew each other. The reason why the King of Jin finally asked for the marriage was not only because she was a benefactor, but also partly because he learned about Song Xiang.

Family background, this is why he wholeheartedly promoted it. If King Jin knew about this matter, he would definitely get to the bottom of it again.

On the one hand, he wanted to prevent the King of Jin from finding out, but on the other hand, he thought that the look in Song Xiang's eyes was terrifying, and he had to comfort her as soon as possible.

The carriage turned onto the post road and was getting closer and closer to the capital.

Looking at the familiar scenery on both sides of the road, he felt relaxed at first seeing the intact Song Xiang, but gradually became tense again.

After getting rid of that forced marriage, he will naturally walk through a different life. But before that, he still has secret enemies to eliminate, the hatred of being plotted in the paddock in his previous life, and the hatred of being killed in the mountains.

He has to sort out all of these, and sort them out as soon as possible.

The two uncles Wang who went to the fiefdom were thousands or even more than a thousand miles away from the capital, and because the killer was obviously coming for him and not the more threatening King Jin, they could be ruled out for the time being.

So those people in the palace...

The King of Jin has five wives and concubines. Such a formation may seem large, but in fact it is not too much among the royal family. Because the descendants of the royal family cannot hold office, the income of the royal family depends on the taxes and titles obtained from the feudal states. In order to

Receive more titles and salary to increase your income and have more children. However, the King of Jin only has four sons and two daughters in total.

Princess Jin gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son had already died in infancy. The eldest daughter, Princess Minjia, was married to Prince Wuding. Concubine Yun Bian, who was brought in by the princess, gave birth to the second son of Prince Jin, Lu Yao, and the second daughter Princess Rou'an, Zhou Bian.

The concubine was originally a concubine, and she gave birth to the third son of King Jin, Lu Yun, who was later promoted to be a side concubine.

The remaining two ladies, one is Mrs. Yue Xi who gave birth to the third princess, and the remaining Mrs. Lan Xin is Lu Zhan's biological mother. Seventeen years ago, his biological mother passed away in childbirth, and the princess happened to be infertile for a long time, so she adopted her.

Lu Zhan is the legitimate son.

Just looking at the layout of this inner house, you can tell that this is not going to be a simple situation.

It is a pity that in his previous life, he was protected by the King of Jin and his wife. It was not until he came back from serving in the camp for half a year to find out the truth that he realized that the desire for profit can really sweeten the hearts of bad people.

"Your Majesty, we are entering the city gate ahead."

Chonghua knocked on the car wall.

Lu Zhan concentrated briefly and said, "First go to a nearby farm to buy a chicken."

Chonghua was stunned.

The chicken is bought.

Lu Zhan approached the carriage, raised his sword and wiped the chicken's neck. The chicken's blood was spread all over his waist and abdomen. After that, he threw the chicken out of the carriage: "If anyone comes and asks about it at the city gate, tell them that my waist and abdomen are seriously injured. I need to hurry up."

Go back home."

He only injured his leg and needed to have his bones straightened. With the imperial medicine taking care of him, he could move around in ten and a half days without any problem. But he was supposed to return home this morning and delayed his return to the city until the sun was setting. There must be someone under the city gate.

Guard.

Dealing with the city gate generals was second, but mainly he wanted to see how some people would react after the news of his "serious injury" was revealed.

The setting sun was shining slantingly on the glazed tile roof of Prince Jin's Mansion, and in Minghua Palace, which had the best view of the harem, the sound of restless pacing could be heard.

"It's almost dark, why haven't you come back yet?!"

The figure reflected on the nanmu screen inlaid with Western glass erected in the palace is upright and tall. She is dressed in a cloud brocade dress finely embroidered with gold threads and exudes dazzling light in the setting sun. There is a red gold inlaid with red treasure in her bun.

The spread-winged phoenix swayed wildly because of its master's uncontrollable excitement, and also cast a ray of light and shadow in the hall.

"Princess, don't worry. The prince has grown up and knows how to protect himself. He will be fine."

Shi Ying, the female official in charge, was married to Princess Jin from her natal family. Seeing this, she quickly comforted her.

"We agreed to get home this morning, but it's been so long and we haven't seen anyone yet. How can I not be worried?" The princess turned and rushed towards her. After speaking, she pointed to the door: "My eyelids were twitching when I woke up this morning. No.

You have someone send a message to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. If they see it, ask them to report it to me immediately!"

Shi Ying bowed and stepped back, then turned around and crossed the threshold. Outside the door, a young eunuch hurriedly came: "Princess, the prince has returned to his residence! But, but..."

"But what?" Shi Ying glanced at Princess Jin and couldn't help but take two steps forward to question the eunuch.

"The prince came back in a carriage. I heard that he was seriously injured! His clothes were covered in blood!"

"Clang!"

Xiudun'er in the palace was brought down, and when Shi Ying turned her head, Princess Jin had already stepped out of the door.

Lu Zhan was sitting on the carriage, and while he was waiting for the guards to bring the sedan, he looked at the large nine-dragon screen wall inside the Duanli Gate.

Thirty-six years ago, the emperor succeeded in self-defense and counterattack outside the Shenwu Gate, and was appointed by Taizu as the current king. Facts have proved that Taizu's decision was wise, and the successor emperor's governance skills were worthy of his ambition. From the time he ascended the throne to the present,

The people are prosperous, the treasury is full, the country is stable, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, all these are obvious to all.

The people's support for the regime has also reached an unprecedented height. Even if there are unavoidable turmoil in the DPRK, it is generally called Ha Qing Haiyan.

The King of Jin was like other princes. Although he did not have fixed authority in the court, the emperor assigned him errands from time to time, such as majoring in the imperial mausoleum, inspecting the grain supply, and going to the border to care for the soldiers. He was responsible for every errand.

If you try your best to satisfy the emperor, you will be much stronger than other princes.

In addition, he also protects himself wisely. The more he is favored and affirmed, the less he puts on any airs. Even the two concubines are from small official families, and they can be said to be quite popular in the palace and court.

Therefore, the Prince of Jin's Mansion is truly the most noble among nobles in the entire Liang Dynasty. This large screen wall is the thirty-year-old gift given to Prince Jin by the emperor twelve years ago.

In his previous life, when he married Song Xiang, he kowtowed in front of this large screen wall and received the imperial edict before entering the main hall to worship.

"Third brother!"

A group of people appeared in the gate behind the screen wall. The leader of the group was a man wearing a golden crown, and his face was similar to Lu Zhan's. The four-clawed golden dragon on the front of his lapel followed his hurried movement towards this side, and the shadows on the roof met the setting sun.
