Chapter 22
The general's mansion did not send a carriage, so Xinmeng had to postpone her return home.The air in the countryside is good, and the people are simple, as my mother said, let's relax.

Xin Meng didn't want to be bored in the Zhuangzi in a daze, so she asked Ying Xia to talk to Lao Wang about her plan to go out and play.

The roads in the country are not as flat and easy as those in the capital city, so Lao Wang hastened to prepare a donkey cart for the eldest lady to travel, and he also found a strong and honest young man to drive.

Early the next morning, Xinmeng set off with Songchun, Yingxia and two servants.Fields, vegetable orchards, small rivers and streams... After a day of fun, I even brought a food box for lunch, and found a flat grass to sit on the ground, just for the breeze and the scent of flowers and plants.

Until dusk was approaching, Xinmeng and the others wandered back to Zhuangzi in a donkey cart.

As soon as he got out of the donkey cart, Lao Wang, who was rubbing his hands at the door, eagerly came up to him: "Miss, you are finally back!... You came here in the afternoon, and said you have something important to tell Miss, and wait inside." It's been a long time!"

Lao Wang spoke too quickly, and the name slipped by. Xin Meng didn't hear clearly who was coming, she was stunned for a moment, and asked nervously, "Is there something wrong in the mansion?"

"The eighth prince refuses to say, Miss, you can go in quickly." Old Wang hurriedly greeted Xinmeng.

Hearing that it was Xiao Lang who came, Xinmeng relaxed.He can have anything important, but he has been waiting for a long time and is impatient.

In the courtyard, Xiao Lang was pacing back and forth under the magnolia tree. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the white brocade robe embroidered with dark flowers, reflecting a faint golden light.

Xinmeng quickly stepped forward to salute: "I don't know that the Eighth Prince is coming, and I can't greet you, so I ask the Eighth Prince to forgive me!"

"Follow me, the prince!" Xiao Lang didn't care about the politeness, he pulled her and walked outside.

"Eighth prince, what are you doing?!" Xin Meng shook off his hand, surprised by his behavior like Meng Lang.She stared at him, a thin layer of anger floated in her eyes.

After a pause, Xiao Lang realized that he was too impatient and scared her.

"My prince is here today because of something related to Lingtang. You get in the car first, and we will talk on the way."

When she heard that it was related to her mother, Xinmeng's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a while, she expected that he would not lie to her, so she told Songchun and her family to stay at the Zhuangzi first, and only took Yingxia with her.

Yingxia was the last one to get on the carriage, and seeing Yan Qing sitting in the driver's seat at first sight, she lowered her head in shock and got into the carriage silently.

Yan Qing suddenly appeared yesterday, and slashed at the back of Yingxia's neck with a knife. She passed out without even saying a word. After waking up, her neck was so sore.If Song Chun hadn't secretly told her that it was Yan Qing who beat her, she still wouldn't know what happened.

The carriage left Zhuangzi very quickly. In order to enter the city before the city gate closed, after the carriage drove up the official road, Yan Qing accelerated the speed and galloped towards the capital.

"Eighth prince, can you tell my daughter what happened to my daughter's mother?" Xinmeng asked worriedly.

She just received Zhao Dan'e's letter yesterday, and she couldn't see anything unusual from the letter.But this made her very worried about her mother's safety.

"Two days ago, Lingtang suddenly fainted, and he invited a doctor to the mansion to see a doctor, and he had a happy pulse."

Xinmeng was stunned for a moment, then recovered and said pleasantly: "What you said is true? So, I'm going to have a younger brother?"

A thought flashed through quickly: Why didn't mother mention a single word of this happy event in the letter?But since she was immersed in ecstasy, she didn't think much about it.

Shen Ji has a wife and two concubines, and Zhao Dan'e has a daughter, Shen Xinmeng, who is the eldest daughter.Aunt Bai gave birth to a daughter, Shen Yunluo, who was the second in line.In addition to giving birth to the eldest son Shen Che, Aunt Lian also has a daughter, Shen Siyu, who is the youngest, only seven years old.

Shen Che was Aunt Lian's ex-husband posthumous child, Xinmeng didn't know at first.

In the last life, Shen Che had a quarrel for a while in order to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. He didn't know what benefits Shen Ji had promised him, but then it stopped.At that time, Zhao Dan'e had passed away for two years.

Now, Zhao Dan'e is pregnant again, which is a great joy.It would be the best thing to give birth to a son for Shen Ji.

Wait, in the last life, Zhao Dan'e clearly never had any children.

What does the appearance of this child mean?
Xinmeng thought about it carefully, and found that after she was reborn, many things gradually changed her original trajectory, such as her mother's happiness, Zhao Lin's early appearance, and Xiao Lang's frequent approach to her...

Seeing Xinmeng's face turned from joy to tranquility, Xiao Lang felt that he should tell her about that matter, so that she could be mentally prepared and make plans early.

"Miss Shen, Lingtang's happy event has aroused the jealousy of others. After you return home, you must take care of Lingtang, especially in terms of food."

Xinmeng was surprised and looked at Xiao Lang in surprise.The competition between wives and concubines has existed since ancient times, especially the competition over children and heirs is in full swing.How could he, an unmarried man, know this?
Could it be...

Her eyes turned cold for a moment, and she stared closely at his eyes: "Thank you, the Eighth Prince, for reminding me! The Eighth Prince really cares about the affairs of the general's mansion."

It must be that a dark man was sent to lurk in the general's mansion to inquire about the news.No wonder he knew she had been poisoned, so he ran to Zhuangzi to feel her pulse to confirm the news.

Given her age and status at this time, she shouldn't have understood these conspiracies and tricks.Reluctantly, in her previous life, in order to help Xiao Yi achieve her grand ambition of enthroning, she used the Qiling Pavilion troops left behind by her mother, and planted a lot of dark people in the palaces of the prince, princes, and important ministers, and used them to collect information and even commit assassinations. Alien business.

At that time, because Xiao Lang was an idle prince with no real power, and didn't live in the capital all year round, his mansion was useless. In order to save manpower, she didn't arrange people in the eighth prince's mansion.Thinking about it now, she was negligent and made an unforgivable mistake.

This mistake brought a fatal threat to Xiao Yi after he ascended the throne.

Xinmeng suddenly wanted to know who was the first to break through the gates of the capital after she died in the last life, was it the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chu Mingxuan, or him, the King of Anyi who was conferred by the previous emperor?

Thinking of this, she glanced at Xiao Lang, and saw that he was staring at her thoughtfully, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and there was a faint smile.

He heard the cynicism in her words, and before he said those words to her, he was prepared for her to know that there was a dark man in the general's mansion, so he didn't give any explanation.

What's more, if she didn't ask clearly, he would naturally not reveal his cover identity.

He didn't expect that what Xin dreamed about was another thing.

Xinmeng quickly withdrew her eyes, thinking with her toes, she could think of even if she asked him, he would not be able to answer what happened in her previous life.
