The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 16
Daqing Kyoto Imperial Palace.

In Yongfu Palace, Madam Zheng walked into the inner room with Xuemei Tang, and saw the Empress Dowager half-lying on the toffee chair, with a worried look on her face.

"Your Majesty, you don't have much food today, and this servant has made snow plum soup for you to warm your stomach."

"Leave it alone, the Ai family has no appetite, Ah Yan, did the Ai family do something wrong when they sent Huan'er to the north?"

Zheng Yan put down the glass bowl, knelt down and lightly hammered the master's leg, "Ma'am, the prince's letter stated that the injury is no longer serious, so please relax."

"If Ai's family didn't let him go to the northern border, there would be no military achievements today, let alone... today's indiscriminate disaster." The Queen Mother sighed, and since the news of Xiao Huan's injury was reported back to the capital, the people in the capital The crowd was furious, and the papers on the emperor's desk kept rising, and the ministers at the court spoke one after another and ordered strict investigations. For several days, the emperor's brows did not loosen, and his expression was gloomy when he came to pay his respects.

"Think about something else. The marriage will be settled when the prince comes back. I heard that Miss Li is a quiet and gentle lady. Your wish for many years is about to come true." a topic.

"That's a good child. After her mother left, she has been keeping a filial piety for her dead mother in the boudoir. She is a filial person. It has been three years now, and Huan'er just happened to come back. Don't you think this is fate." Speaking of This, the Empress Dowager is a bit happy, Xiao Huan, who was born in her forties, is now in her 60s, and this is what worries her the most.

"In a few days, let Miss Li get rid of her white clothes and let her enter the palace to talk to Ai's family."

After noon, the carriage arrived at the gate of the capital, and there was a lot of people coming and going.

The pier is outside the city, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk to the left. Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, holding the silver ingot of Xuegusai in her arms, and thanked everyone farewell.

"Wang Er, find a simpler inn after entering the city, and return to the mansion tomorrow." Li Ru'an tilted his head to look at the towering city gate, and lowered the curtain.

Xuegu thought that Li Ru'an was timid because of his closeness to the country. Although she had doubts, she chose to let the lady go. They all went into the city, and it was not a day and a half.

"Yes, miss." This matter hit Wang Er's heart. He was so worried these two days that he racked his brains to think of how to save his mother and younger sister. He would release people easily, but his mother and younger sister would not be able to save their lives, thinking about sneaking into the mansion tonight, if he could rescue people first, he would have no excuses, and the young miss would lose a layer of restraint and scruples.

After entering the city, Wang Er was under Li Ru'an's command. He didn't know, so after turning left and right around several small streets, the carriage stopped in front of a clean small inn in front of the alley.

Li Ru'an put on her hat and got out of the car. Xuegu and the others were busy packing their belongings. She raised her foot and approached Wang Er who was untying the rope, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I will save your mother and sister, don't act rashly tonight."

Wang Er suddenly raised his head, shocked, "Master, Miss?" How did Miss know what he was thinking?

"Remember what I said." Li Ru'an glanced at him, turned and stepped into the inn.

Thirty miles outside the city, Xiao Huan opened the note in his hand, glanced at it, and let out a low laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Yan Mo took the note and glanced at it, then exclaimed, "Lost? Your two hidden guards are top-notch masters!"

"As expected, no matter what, we are all in the capital, and we will see you again sooner or later." Xiao Huan smiled admiringly in his black eyes.

"This little Ruhua is too mysterious. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of waves her temper and methods will cause in Beijing."

The small inn is several roads away from the main street, quiet and peaceful, but still worried about running into acquaintances, so Xuegu asked Xiao Er to bring the food to the room.

"Sister, why did you ask Wang Er to walk around the small street several times?" After dinner, Xuegu handed over the tea and asked her doubts.

"It's nothing, I just want to look around." Li Ru'an took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. There are many streets in Kyoto, criss-crossing, and the flow of people is like a weaving. It's quite easy to get rid of two people. It's not about revealing your identity in front of Xiao Jizhi. timing.

"It's good to have a look now. After all, you have a marriage contract, and the chances of going out after returning home are very few. Ziyan, find that plain brocade forged skirt, and the jacket embroidered with white orchids. They have been ironed carefully, and the lady will wear them tomorrow."

"Sister Ziyan, why are Miss's clothes all plain?" Alan asked with wide eyes while helping to lift the skirt.

"Hush! How did my sister teach you, don't talk nonsense." Seeing Xuegu's back was sad when she heard it, Ziyan hurriedly dragged Alan to the side to iron the clothes.

"It's almost the day of my wife's death. This year, my sister will get rid of her white clothes. King Huan just happened to return to Beijing. My wife is blessing the young lady in heaven..."

At nightfall, Wang Er tossed and turned on the berth downstairs, sat up abruptly, quickly changed into black clothes, and the moment he was about to step out of the threshold, the glance of the eldest lady flashed across his mind, his feet froze, and he retreated to the berth after a few breaths He sat down heavily, hugging his head in frustration.

And now upstairs, Li Ru'an tied her long hair into balls and put it on top of her head, and she had already changed into Xuegu's gray cloth clothes. There was no way, she couldn't wear all white to be a light bulb at night.

In the evening, the Xuegu three drank the tea with sedatives, and fell into a deep sleep at the moment. Li Ruan covered his face with a gray cloth, jumped directly from the window on the second floor, and landed quietly. After observing left and right, he followed his memory and walked to the main street. .

There is a curfew in the capital, and there is not a single person on Hanye Street except watchmen and patrols who appear from time to time.

All the way through was unimpeded, Li's mansion was at the end of the main street, and after walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, Li Ru'an leaned against the shadow and looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar place.

On the bright and clean stone steps, there are a pair of stone lion statues lying on both sides, glaring and majestic. On the top of the red vermilion lacquered gate hangs a gold-threaded nanmu plaque, on which is inscribed the word Li Fu, green tiles and red eaves, magnificent and brilliant. There are torches on the stone plate, and ten tall and strong male servants in front of the gate are patrolling back and forth, and they are very guarded.

There are two sides on the left and right for servants of carriages and horses to enter and exit. At this moment, there are also three servants guarding each. Li Ru'an avoids the bright light, accurately uses the angle of the shadow, and easily goes around to the back of the house.

There are two back doors in the southeast of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The two male servants at the south door were talking in a low voice. Suddenly, they felt the breeze blowing on their faces. The next second, they all fell down. Li Ruan walked out slowly in the darkness and stood at the door to listen for a while Finally, he grasped the handle of the door, exerted a little force, and the door valve snapped open.

Except for some newly planted flowers and trees, the mansion is still the same as the original body remembers. Several women in the backyard patrolled back and forth with lanterns. Li Ru'an easily avoided it. With the girl's gaze, she walked straight to the woodshed in the backyard. Lin used to have the habit of throwing servants who made mistakes into the woodshed.

Sure enough, by the moonlight, Li Ru'an saw a mother and daughter sleeping under the woodpile through the gap of the wooden window, which matched the appearance Xuegu said.

Cuiyun was patted on the shoulder in a daze, she opened her eyes to meet a pair of exquisite and indifferent peach blossom eyes, she suddenly widened her eyes, opened her mouth and let out a few hoarse uh uh sounds, hugged her mother beside her in horror, repeatedly step back.

"I helped Wang Er to save people." Li Ru'an said in a low voice, looking at the haggard mother Yang beside her, her clothes were thin, and her right palm was still wrapped in a dirty coarse cloth.

uh uh!Cuiyun's eyes widened, and she frantically made unknown gestures with an excited and joyful expression.

Li Ru'an knew what she was asking, and repeated what she had just said before reaching out to pat Yang's mother.

"Well, what's wrong with Xiaoyun?" Mama Yang asked in a daze, her eyes turned white.

"Mother Yang, Wang Er is waiting for you outside."

Wang Er!Yang's mother opened her eyes suddenly, only to see a person in gray clothes in front of her. She knelt up with a heavy body, held Li Ru'an's clothes with trembling hands, and asked excitedly, "Wang Er? Is my son back?"

"Yes, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's talk about it when we go out." Li Ru'an's ears moved slightly, and someone came over. She supported the tearful Mama Yang with one hand, and turned out a needle with the other hand. The two women, Li Ru'an raised his hands, and fell to the ground before they had a chance to speak.

"Walk."

Wang Er was dressed in black, walking back and forth in the room, impatient, closed his eyes and made up his mind, took out a black cloth to cover his face, and suddenly heard an excited and hoarse voice from outside the door.

"Two cows?"

He jerked off the cloth towel and froze in place in disbelief.

"Erniu? Is that you?" Mother Yang grabbed her daughter's hand and called out again hesitantly. The door was pulled open with a bang, and Wang Er rushed out. He saw his mother and younger sister who were dependent on each other in the cold wind. Their clothes were thin and their faces were haggard.

"Auntie? Xiaoyun?"

"Two cows!" Yang's mother cried out sadly, and rushed to hold her son and cried until her heart broke.

In the room, wearing her elder brother's coat, Cuiyun wiped her mother's tears, Wang Er went out to fetch hot tea and came back, but there was no one in the back kitchen of the restaurant, only some steamed buns were left, looking at the two trembling and wolfing down, Wang Er turned around Wipe away my tears.

"Mother, how did you come out?"

"A woman went in to save us. She was not tall, but she had pretty eyes. Then she brought us to this door, and she just said you were inside, and then she left." Mother Yang swallowed the steamed buns in her mouth, drank After taking a sip of hot tea, he said.

woman?Wang Er was full of remorse and wished to punch himself, he didn't believe in the young lady just now.

"Wang Er?" Xue Gu's voice came from outside the door.

"Xuegu? Is it you?" Wang Er respectfully invited him into the house, and Yang's mother stepped forward and shouted happily.

"Mother Yang, long time no see." Xue Gu pulled her to sit down, and said full of thoughts.

"Yeah, it's been three years since Madam left. Are you okay? Missy, are you okay?"

"It's all good, now that I'm back, I've gotten through the past, Mama Yang, let me see your hands." Xue Gu said as she stretched out her hand to remove the gauze.

The palm of the missing four fingers was white and wrinkled and stained. It has been more than a month, and the fracture has basically healed, but there is still some redness and swelling from friction. Scrub palms clean.

"Fortunately, there is no infection." The young lady said that the wound is not rotten, and the absence of pus means that there is no infection.

"Here are some pills. If you feel that the wound still hurts, take one. You can take the money and leave as soon as the curfew is lifted at dawn. The farther the better, you are escaped slaves now, don't let the people in the house and The official finds it, hide first, I will find a way to get back to the government where the body deed is, and then take it to the government to remove the name, and you will not be in trouble." Xuegu rewrapped Yang Ma's palm and stuffed it into Wang's second hand I bought two cloth bags.

Mother Yang recalled that woman's eyes just now, vaguely similar to the young lady, and she was surprised that the young lady hadn't changed in three years, and remembered her ex-wife who died young, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Xuegu, the mansion is different now. There are not many old people left. I was lucky to have a few dishes that the old lady likes. I was not sent out because of Mama Sun's persuasion. I shouldn't have said something behind my back." Gossip, I just want to say, after you and the eldest lady go back, remember to be more careful, and advise the eldest lady to go to the old lady's place more often. Over the years, I have heard the old lady mention the eldest lady several times, and there is still a relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. , after all, he is the only ancestor in the family, so he can help the eldest lady with anything."

How could Xuegu not understand the deep meaning in Yang's mother's words, seeing that she had already guessed that it was her sister who came to rescue her, but she skipped mentioning it, to save her reputation, she only told the things in the house in detail, and raised some cryptic points.

"I understand, you have a heart, and I don't know when I will see you again after this. You just take care of yourself and be healthy." Xue Gu held her hand, and the two of them burst into tears.

Don't let go of the reluctant, thankful Mother Yang, Xuegu walked out of the room, Wang Er followed two steps, knelt down and kowtowed with a plop, his eyes were red.

"Auntie, thank you Miss on behalf of the servant!"

"Miss said, this is to repay Madam's favor. From now on, there will be no debt to each other. Take care of yourself." Xue Gu turned and left after speaking.

"Slave Wang Er will always remember the kindness of the eldest lady, and will never forget it!" Wang Er kowtowed deeply.

　Merry Christmas!
