The old lady frowned.
After so many years, she still clearly remembers Lin's original words at that time.
"Although the prince has a very stubborn temper, and he went against your wishes because of the marriage, the prince is actually very filial to the old lady. I just say to the prince, although there are two masters and three masters in the palace to continue the incense for the old lady, But those are not the prince's children, they are different after all. Moreover, the old lady loves the prince not only because the prince is outstanding and capable, but also because the prince has been filial and sensible since he was a child. He is more considerate of the old lady's hard work as a mother than the second master and the third master. Then you Why can't we be filial to the old lady one last time, understand the pain of her white-haired person leaving her black-haired person, and leave some thoughts for her?"
These words touched the old lady's heart very much. After hearing this, she shed tears in front of Mrs. Lin. Without even thinking about it, I just hoped that Mrs. Lin would become pregnant.
Lan Qi looked thoughtful after listening to the old lady's story.
The old lady asked her: "What do you think?"
Lan Qi said: "The princess's words don't seem to be addressed to the prince, but rather to the old lady."
The old lady was startled.
Lan Qi thought for a while and said: "Although I have never met the prince, I have served the old lady for so many years. When you talk about the prince's past events, I know that what the princess said is right. The prince is extremely stubborn, and he is also very stubborn." Very filial. Others can put themselves in the perspective of the old lady. Wouldn't the prince not think of it? But before Xue Huwei tried to persuade him in every possible way, he refused, which shows that the prince has considered it very clearly. Those words of the princess spoke to your heart. However, I may not be able to convince the prince."
Things were urgent that year, and the palace fell into trouble very quickly. With powerful enemies around, the emperor wanted to clear Gongsun Jingzhi's name, but he didn't have enough time. In the end, he only managed to kill Gongsun Jingzhi alone, without implicating the palace or the hereditary king at all. Jue didn't take it back.
But after something happened in the palace, most of the servants in the palace dispersed, and only a small part remained. When the old lady brought everyone back to Shengzhou, she hired some more servants. It was at that time that Lan Qi was selected by the old lady to stay. Serving at your side.
"My slave, let me say something that shouldn't be said. When the palace loses the prince, it loses its backbone. Even if the emperor does not take back the hereditary prince, you want to train a prince to inherit the family. I don't know how much thought and energy you have to waste. You drag your daughter It is not easy for a few people to grow up. The prince may not want you to work for his flesh and blood anymore. Although the second master and the third master are not outstanding, they are still obedient and honest. There is no problem for the family to return to their hometown in Shengzhou and live a stable life. Yes. I think this is the prince's filial piety to you, rather than leaving you with any thoughts..."
The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and there was a soreness in her throat.
Lan Qi brought tea to the old lady, "Furthermore, after a hundred years, the old lady will have no one in charge of the house. This eldest daughter, an orphan and a widowed mother, if someone gets confused and wants to fight for the title, just think about it. It’s a hard time, the prince felt sorry for the uncle’s biological mother, so how could he leave another orphan and widowed mother behind?”
The old lady finally understood what Lan Qi meant by "more terrifying" just now, "Do you think Mrs. Lin lied to me at that time?"
"The old lady is a fan of the authorities. She couldn't bear the pain of losing her beloved son, so she got into trouble and was deceived by the princess."
The old lady felt a chill in her heart, "If Mr. Lin lied to me, then Brother Yi..."
Lan Qi hesitated to speak, but when it came to this topic, there was no reason to hesitate any longer, "Old lady, do you think the second master looks like the prince at all? Not to mention the prince, even if he looks a little bit like the Gongsun family, No. The girls in the house are also interested in the second master, and they talk about it in private. At first, I didn’t know all these inside stories and didn’t think much about it, but now, I’m a little bit more aware of it.”
The old lady's face gradually turned blue, "So, Mrs. Lin is probably pregnant with a seed. I happened to find her, and she agreed. Then she pretended to go to prison to persuade Da Lang and deceived us, mother and son?"
Lan Qi shook his head, "This, I can't say for sure, but when she was in prison, she only had to tell the prince that she had successfully deceived you for the time being, and she could leave after a month if she doesn't get pregnant. Old Madam So she gave up. When she came to you, she said that she and the prince were already married. When the news of her pregnancy was confirmed, the prince would have died long ago, and he would not be able to expose her lie. "
The old lady's heart palpitated, and her face turned pale with pain. Lan Qi quickly took the maintenance medicine and gave it to her, "Old lady, I don't want you to be deceived, but I don't want you to be so angry that you want to Just be more open-minded!"
"I know...I was also doubtful at the beginning. Lin Jianyue fought against the Lin family alone, and in the end she was able to avoid Kudu Nunnery without touching her body. This shows her methods. After some planning in the future, she may not be able to marry into a good family, at least. She is better than the best, but better than the worst, so why come to the palace to be a widow? Although the palace has a good foundation and can guarantee her a worry-free life for half her life, how can this be compared to having a man beside her who knows both cold and hot things? "
The old lady took a long time to suppress her anger, and then said: "I lost my husband in my early years, and raised my children by myself. It was not easy in any way. If she were a clay-faced man, she would not have thought of these things, but she has the means to do so." It’s amazing, and I have experience in the Lin family, why don’t you have any plans in mind?”
"Then how did you dispel your doubts later?"
"Ms. Lin said that she was abducted when she was young and has seen all the warmth and coldness of the world. How lucky she was to be rescued by the master of Kudu Temple and did not have to fall into the quagmire. She has spent her whole life's luck. After returning to the Lin family, the back house The quarrels and intrigues also made her feel tired and avoidable, so she tried to clean up the personnel in the palace. In addition, she said that if she was lucky and could give birth to a son for the prince, she would be able to give her child a son without any effort in the future. A future is already something that other women struggle to obtain throughout their lives. It would be too greedy if you still want to be loved by a man who knows both coldness and warmth."
"So eloquent..."
"You are right, but at that time, I just thought she was frank and intelligent."
"Old madam, there is no need to blame yourself. Who would have thought that a teenage girl would be so thoughtful?"
The old lady was furious last night, but gradually calmed down this morning, leaving only resentment. Now that Lan Qi said this, she also had some speculations in her heart.
"If she had a baby in her belly, then the man she has been secretly dating for many years is very likely to be Yi Geer's biological father. That's why you said that she is not the person who can do this, but she did it ”
