Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 390
A snow in early winter fell mightily for seven days.

The entire capital city is covered in silver, and there is ice and snow everywhere.

The thick snow and ice not only covered everything, but also crushed many houses and trees.

I thought that after the snow stopped, the ice and snow would melt as soon as the sun came out, but no one expected that the snow would fall again after only one day.

And inside and outside Beijing, many families were destroyed because of the endless snow.

It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the heavy snowfall is not necessarily a good thing.

The continuous heavy snowfall has caused houses to collapse in many places. Some people don't even have the firewood to keep warm, let alone repair their houses.Not to mention those old people and children who starved to death due to snow, let alone know how many.

Even Lu Hebei's poor health became more and more serious.

In the past few days, I couldn't even get out of bed.

Lu Yangge knew that if Chen Luxing hadn't fallen into the water, the second brother would not have been so seriously ill.

During the three days when Chen Luxing's high fever persisted, Lu Hebei also did not rest well.

Across a wall, Lu Yange was woken up by the emperor's cough in the middle of the night, and then listened to his cough all night long.

What Lu Hebei was thinking in his heart, Lu Yange more or less knew.

If something happened to Chen Luxing and Lu Hebei died again, there would only be a few women left in the palace, and no one would be able to keep this great merchant.

With luck, the empress dowager and empress will pick a child from the Chen clan to inherit.

With bad luck, this great country will be handed over to others, and this group of women probably has to die to avoid being bullied.

As for this matter, there are others making troubles inside, and Mrs. Gongsun is rarely responsible.

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a major event happened in the Xiangfu.

Mrs. Gongsun took advantage of the snow to stop at noon this day, and walked in the garden. Who knew that her foot slipped, and Mrs. Gongsun fell hard. Not to mention her leg was broken, and there was a big hole on her head, bleeding profusely.

When the Xiangfu sent the news, Gongsun Wanying was coaxing the little princess to learn to look up with a rattle.

Hearing this, he was shocked, and hurriedly got off the bed, tripped by the brocade quilt, but fortunately the maid at the side helped him quickly.The person didn't fall, but sprained his ankle, and it swelled up in a moment.

Lu Yange originally thought that Xiangye Gongsun would make Mrs. Gongsun sick and die.After all, she is the queen's mother and the prince's grandmother, so it is definitely not appropriate to send it to the family temple.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gongsun broke her leg.

Someone must have made her fall on this leg on purpose, and Mrs. Gongsun was probably unlucky at the end where she fell and there was a small piece of rock that a child could easily recognize.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Gongsun's head will heal soon, but this leg may never heal.

The dignified Mrs. Rong An, the empress's mother, and the prince's grandmother, was actually crippled.After this, Mrs. Gongsun might never leave the gate of Gongsun Mansion again.

She couldn't afford to lose face like this, and she didn't dare to come out and lose face to the queen and the little prince.

Lu Yange looked at the crying queen, and said coldly, "Since Mrs. Gongsun is injured, let the imperial doctor go and see, why are you crying?"

She brought the little prince over to visit after hearing that the queen had twisted her foot and the emperor was too weak to come over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the queen met, she said that Mrs. Gongsun broke her leg. The meaning between the lines was that she wanted to go back and have a look. Of course, it would be better if the emperor could go back with her.

Not to mention that Madam Gongsun wanted to frame Lu Qingluan, even if Madam Gongsun broke her leg, the emperor shouldn't have come to visit her.

"His Majesty."

The queen didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. Her tears couldn't stop, and they fell down, "I am a concubine, I love my mother's body. My mother broke her leg and her head again. My mother only has me." A daughter..."

Lu Yange cut off her words and asked, "Queen, do you know that the little prince went to play in the West Garden, why are people from Yuehua Palace here?"

Gongsun Wanying was startled, and suddenly raised her head to look at the emperor in front of her, she was so frightened that she forgot to shed tears.

Lu Yange took the handkerchief from Gongsun Wanying's hand, and gently wiped away her tears: "If you go to the prime minister's mansion, then you can ask Mother Liu, who is next to Mrs. Rong An, if you want to keep her cousin An He .”

"what?"

Gongsun Wanying's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.

"Mother Liu, Mother Liu is not a grandfather..."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Wanying seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

It's fine if her mother did something wrong, she can't drag her grandfather into the water now.

"I know that Madam Liu was assigned to your mother by your grandfather, because Mama Liu is smart, and she has helped Mrs. Rong An manage the Xiangfu properly all these years. However, Mrs. Gongsun and Xiangye may not know, Mama Liu His son likes to gamble. In order to pay off his son’s gambling debts, Mama Liu had to take other people’s money.”

"Originally, some people thought that the harem would be too cold to have you alone. Even if you add Lu Zhaoyi, there are only two people. If something happens to the Gongsun Mansion, your position as the queen may not be guaranteed. Even if the position of the queen belongs to their family My daughter can't sit for the time being, so I can still try the fourth concubine's position. One day, when necessary, I can threaten you with what Mrs. Rong An did, maybe the queen's position can be replaced by someone else .”

Looking at Gongsun Wanying's pale face, Lu Yangge felt tightness in her chest.

What the empress Gongsun Wanying has done can only be said to be ineffective, but there are no disputes in the harem, and her temperament is not strong enough, so it is still going smoothly.

But once the harem is really as expected by the ministers of the court, one queen, four concubines and nine concubines will be filled one by one, not to mention the queen's position, I'm afraid that her pair of children may not be able to keep it.

Lu Hebei's original intention was that he didn't want the queen to know all of this. He is about to die soon, and the queen will be widowed at a young age. Although there are two children to accompany her, not everyone can endure the loneliness in the deep palace. .

This is what he owed to the queen, so he naturally wanted to make up for it.

Lu Yangge didn't think so, since people outside the palace could stretch their hands into the palace, thinking of killing or mutilating the little prince, and pulling the queen down from the back seat by the way.At that time, even if the emperor and empress are deeply in love, for the sake of this great business, the emperor will also confer the empress and concubine.

For the benefit of the family, I don't know how many people dare to take risks.

Lu Yangge couldn't gamble with the lives of her own nephews and nieces. Whether it was Chen Luxing or Chen Luming, these two were the children left by her second brother, and what she had to do was to protect them from growing up safely.

As for the queen, she should take on the responsibility of a mother, instead of being muddled and thinking about the love of her children.

Royal family, how can there be love between children?
