Lingnan is mountainous, hot and rainy.

It happened to be mid-June when Lu Xiangge arrived in Lingnan. He traveled all the way through mountains and rivers. Even if there were no carrier pigeons to deliver the news, Lu Xiangge knew more and more that it was time to descend to Xirong at the end of May or early June.

This is the time agreed between her and Chen Xiaohu.

Originally, Xirong's military strength was not enough to compete with Dashang. Chen Xiaohu's visit was just to extend the timeline and create a time lag for Lu Sheige.

In July, the news came that the queen was seriously ill, and Lu Shege was stunned.

It was true that she was seriously ill, but she always felt that the illness came on strangely.

Could it be that the aunt was responsible? If it was the aunt, with her eagerness to protect the calf, it would not be difficult to understand.

Originally, Gongsun Wanying did not deserve to die.

When we first met, Gongsun Wanying was a kind-hearted girl with a simple nature.

After being a queen for more than ten years, perhaps because she knew Lu Shege's identity and because Chen Luming was still young, she kept quiet for a few years.

But no matter what, Gongsun Wanying had thoughts that she shouldn't have in the palace.

Fortunately, the matter was discovered by Lu Shege just as it started to take shape, and it did not lead to a big mistake.

For the sake of brothers Chen Luxing and Chen Luming, Lu Xiangge could not let Gongsun Wanying take sole control of the harem after his death and cause unnecessary trouble to Chen Luxing.

Her thought was very simple, she had to let Gongsun Wanying get sick and at least survive. Even for the sake of her children, she couldn't kill her sister-in-law with her own hands.

The setting sun left its last afterglow in the sky, and the heat outside the window seemed to have dissipated a lot.

In the quiet house, there was suddenly a sound of brisk footsteps. After a while, a round-faced girl wearing a light cyan summer shirt came out of the yard.

Under the eaves of the kitchen, a girl also wearing a light blue summer shirt was sitting on a small stool, lowering her head to boil medicine, and fanning her cattail leaf rhythmically in her hand.

The medicine in the medicine stove was steaming, and the whole yard was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

The round-faced girl walked to the eaves of the kitchen and spoke softly: "Yunjuan, the princess wants you to go to the front street to buy some incense, candles, paper money and come back."

"I know, I'll go now." Yunjuan put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand to fan the fire, stood up and washed his hands in the pool nearby.

When he was about to leave, he turned back and warned: "Yun Shu, the princess hasn't taken the medicine today. It's on the stove. Keep an eye on it and remember to bring it to the princess in a quarter of an hour."

The only people serving the princess were their two maids. Zhexue was also a maid, but Zhexue was elusive all day long, so Yunjuan Yunshu took over these trivial matters.

By the time Yunjuan came back with a basket filled with paper money and incense candles, it was already dark.

This place is called Anshui, a remote town at the foot of Lingnan.

Lu Xiangge came to Lingnan in June and found out the real reason for Zhou Yang's disappearance.

Zhou Yang was seriously injured and was originally going to be escorted back to the capital. But he was so seriously injured that he was unconscious all day long, and the doctors accompanying him did not dare to move him.

When Chen Xiaohu left, he specially left two thousand elite soldiers for Zhou Yang. He agreed to escort Zhou Yang back to the capital after he got better.

Lingnan is rich in resources, but there are not many famous doctors with excellent medical skills.

Zhou Yang's injury was on his head. If he wanted to completely eradicate it, he could only return to the capital and let the doctors from the Imperial Hospital take a look at it.

Not long after Chen Xiaohu left, Zhou Yang woke up.

I don't know whether it was because of his brain injury or other reasons. When Zhou Yang woke up, he was as confused as a young child.

I don’t remember who I am, I don’t know where I am, and I have completely forgotten my life and career.

Zhou Yang woke up, and the people escorting him did not dare to delay. Once they were sure that Zhou Yang could move, they hurried back.

While passing through Anshui, the inn where they stayed caught fire in the middle of the night.

When the fire was extinguished, Zhou Yang mysteriously disappeared among the guards of a thousand people!

Even if the local officials did nothing, the disappearance of a general in this place was a big deal. The county magistrate sent people to search for him and sent a letter to the capital at the same time.

Regardless of whether this responsibility will hit him on the head, what needs to be said still needs to be made clear to the higher-ups.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't know why my head fell off by then.

The strange thing is that the people sent out by the county government, including a thousand elites who were sent out to escort Zhou Yang, did not even have any news about Zhou Yang.

Lu Sheige came to Lingnan as Princess Changle, and the courtyard where she lives now was specially prepared by the county government for Princess Changle.

Everyone knows that Princess Changle is very capable. After ten years abroad, she brought back many good things to the Shang Dynasty.

Not to mention the former emperor and the queen mother, even the current new emperor respects Princess Changle very much.

Anshui is just a small county town. It only takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk along a long street from east to west. If you have the spare time, you can go in and check out every store. Half a day is enough.

The place is small and no one wants to go to this remote place. The biggest big shot that ordinary people can meet is the county magistrate.

Who would have expected that a great general was lost here not long ago, and now a eldest princess is here.

After the county magistrate got the news, he packed up the best house in the city. The owner of that house had to move his family to a smaller house.

That's it, it's a bit troublesome, but Anshui's family has a little bit of land and a beautifully decorated yard. Who doesn't want the princess to live in his own house.

That was a princess, with golden branches and jade leaves. It allowed the princess to live in her own yard, and she felt that her status would immediately rise.

After this courtyard was chosen, other people wanted to feel a little bit like a princess, so they tried their best to send things to this courtyard.

Don't dare to give away anything valuable. The princess was born into a wealthy family and has never seen anything exquisite and rare. If you are someone who knows how to please, send some beautiful and exquisite flowers and plants to this yard.

There are also people who went to great lengths to move the lake rocks and rockery rocks from home as they were.

If time hadn't allowed, I'm afraid the five-indoor courtyard would have been expanded twice as much. Dig a pond on the east side and plant it full of green lotus and pink lotus. On the west side, build rockeries, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

The garden is full of flowers and plants, which also gives the princess a place to enjoy flowers and take a walk.

Before Lu Sheige arrived, the Anshui County Magistrate had already prepared what needed to be prepared.

As soon as Lu Sheige moved into this courtyard, the next morning Magistrate Anshui came to visit him with the elders of the squire clan.

I heard that the princess was tired from the journey and suffered from heatstroke in the past two days. She finally fell asleep when she arrived in Anshui and has not gotten up yet. The county magistrate did not dare to say that he must see the princess, so he led everyone to kowtow in the yard.

, I didn’t even dare to step through the door of the house.

Lu Xiangge fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't wake up until sunset. When she got up, she first asked the maid next to her to go out and buy some paper candles to burn at the intersection in the evening. This would also preserve her sister-in-law relationship with Gongsun Wanying.

If she hadn't told the Queen Mother about Gongsun Wanying's thoughts, she probably wouldn't have done it herself.

Lu Xiangge wanted to make Gongsun Wanying sick for three to five years. When Chen Luxing was firmly on the throne, even if Gongsun Wanying wanted to do something, she would have to think about the dignity of her children.
