Ming Lanruo lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Since the empress doesn't want me to enter the palace, then that's all."
After saying that, she simply lifted up her skirt and bowed to the gate of Fengkun Palace.
Ming Lanruo's surrender made the two palace maids look proud.
The people around him also laughed mockingly.
Ming Lanruo finished her obeisance and just stood up with her skirt in hand.
But the leading maid sneered again: "Wait a minute, who told you to stand up? The higher-up's order is for you to kneel here until after the dinner and then go back."
People around her began to talk with disdain. The most beautiful lady in the capital back then was now reduced to a position where even a palace maid could step on her head.
It is human nature to add insult to injury. Everyone was watching a show and waiting for Ming Lanruo to kneel down again.
In such a cold weather, for Ming Lanruo to kneel here and wait in front of everyone, it must be someone powerful in the palace who wants to make Ming Lanruo look embarrassed and suffer!
Ming Lanruo is only a mute person who can eat Coptis chinensis this time!
Unexpectedly, when Ming Lanruo heard this, she smiled, stretched out her hand to pat the hem of her skirt, and then simply——
Turn around and leave.
The two palace maids and others were stunned, unable to believe that Ming Lanruo dared to resist.
"You dare to disobey me? Don't you want to live anymore?" The leading maid was furious and stepped forward to stop her in a hurry.
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows at them: "I have to go to the toilet. Didn't the Queen say I can't go to the toilet? Or do you want me to kneel here and pollute the palace road?"
"You..." The two palace maids froze, not expecting Ming Lanruo to say so openly that she had to go to the toilet.
"Okay, I'll go to the toilet and then come back and kneel in the palace." Ming Lanruo smiled and walked away gracefully.
The two palace maids looked at each other. Their plan failed, so they could only stomp their feet angrily and turn around to report to Ruan Shang Palace.
They were also afraid that if Ming Lanruo really had a bowel movement or peed here and polluted the palace passages, they would be unable to eat and walk around.
Ming Lanruo managed to get out of the predicament so neatly, leaving everyone watching the show with nowhere to hide their malice, and couldn't help but scorn and criticize her again.
Everyone was talking and cursing, but Ming Lanruo just dusted her nails indifferently and didn't take it to heart at all.
As for people, if you want not to be embarrassed, you just have to not be too shameless.
And everyone in the palace is carrying it, so it is not difficult to overwhelm them.
She originally thought that everyone would have to kneel down and worship when entering the inner hall, so she might as well do more things than do less things, and just kneel down and leave after being fooled.
But some fools really think that she is easy to bully and scheming.
After Ming Lanruo left everyone's sight, she turned around and went into the secluded alleyway in the palace.
She often went to the palace since she was a child and knew many remote and uninhabited places.
For example, this small palace is almost deserted because it is only separated from the residences of the lower palaces by a thin wall. No concubines are willing to live there.
Ming Lanruo sat on an old rocking chair in the corridor and closed her eyes to rest. She needed to think carefully about what to do next.
The attitude of Fengkun Palace should be the attitude of most people in the palace, no, even the entire aristocratic circle in the capital, towards her.
It doesn't matter that she is an adult, but Xiao Xi is still a child. He should not suffer these criticisms and insults when he lives in the capital.
Before she could figure it out, she suddenly heard the people talking in the palace across the wall——
"The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell recently, and the imperial doctor is going to treat her, but the results are not very good either."
"The Queen Mother has a stubborn temperament. She should be resting, but she likes to walk around. It is difficult for anyone to persuade her."
Ming Lanruo suddenly opened her eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart. In her previous life, the Queen Mother was the only person in the palace who treated her well.
But she thought the Queen Mother was harsh and never showed her sincerity to her.
At that time, she knew that the Queen Mother had heart and brain problems, and when King Qin was about to force him into the palace, she even drugged the Queen Mother for King Qin's sake.
Ming Lanruo thought about it, maybe this was an opportunity to change her situation, and she should go to Ci'an Palace.
So, she got up and went to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace by avoiding people.
When Ming Lanruo just walked to the lotus pond near Ci'an Palace, she saw a figure running out of Chixin Pavilion in a panic.
She looked very familiar to the nanny running towards her. Who could it be if she wasn't Nanny Tan who was serving closely beside the Queen Mother?
While running, Grandma Tan suddenly stumbled, twisted her foot, and fell forward violently.
She quickly stepped forward to support Nanny Tan, who almost fell because she was running too fast: "What's going on?"
As soon as Aunt Tan saw her face clearly, she couldn't help but froze, and blurted out: "Miss Ming family... why are you in the palace?"
"I got the favor today to come here to celebrate my birthday, mama, but something happened to the Queen Mother?" After Ming Lanruo explained in a few words, he got straight to the point and asked about the Queen Mother's situation.
Grandma Tan immediately remembered why she ran out.
She panicked and grabbed her sleeves with tears in her eyes: "You young people, run fast, help me call the imperial doctor. The Queen Mother is in Chixin Pavilion, caught in the cold wind, and feels very uncomfortable!"
It was freezing cold, so she shouldn't have let the Queen Mother insist on going to the lotus pond to see some fish!
Ming Lanruo frowned, but turned around and ran towards the Huxin Pavilion: "I know medical skills, so I will take care of the Queen Mother first. You can quickly go back to Ci'an Palace and call the imperial doctor!"
"Hey, Miss Ming, when will you learn medical skills... Please don't do anything wrong!" Aunt Tan couldn't catch up with Ming Lanruo, stomped her feet, turned around and limped to call the imperial doctor.
Ming Lanruo ran into the Huxin Pavilion and saw the silver-haired Queen Mother, covering her chest and falling on the bench. Her face was extremely ugly and her whole body was shaking.
"The Queen Mother!" Ming Lanruo quickly went up to support the old lady and let her lean into his arms. At the same time, he opened his sleeves and felt the old lady's pulse.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale due to pain, but Ming Lanruo also showed a surprised expression for a moment: "You..."
"Queen Mother, please stop talking. This is a sign of a stroke and heart attack. If you are not saved in time, your life will be in danger!" Ming Lanruo interrupted her.
After taking her pulse, Ming Lanruo took out a pack of silver needles and two small medicine bottles the size of thumbs from her arms.
Then, she took a silver needle and dipped it in the medicine bottle, then stabbed the old lady's Fengchi point, Zhongfu, Yunmen and other major points slowly and neatly.
"Ah!!" The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, and she screamed with increasingly painful expression, trying to get rid of Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo frowned, held down the Queen Mother fiercely, not allowing her to move, and continued to take the needle and pierce it into the acupoint on the Queen Mother's forehead.
She just pierced the silver needle into the forehead of the Queen Mother, and the next moment, a green figure suddenly rushed into the pavilion.
The visitor slapped Ming Lanruo's vest fiercely: "You dog assassin, let go of the Queen Mother!"
…
While the Ci'an Palace was in chaos, the Zichen Palace, where the emperor daily criticized the emperor's mistakes, was quiet.
Cang Qiao was leaning lazily on the Kowloon red gold throne, and was drawing when she was in high spirits.
While he and his father-in-law were waiting for the pen and ink, he glanced at the erotic picture of a beautiful woman on the paper from the corner of his eye, and he took a second look.
Women are not what eunuchs like them should care about, but everyone has desires, and desires must have a place to vent.
But in this picture, the woman with her snow-white body and naked clothes, her wrists tied up by ropes, although her facial features are not drawn, but I don’t know why, the more she looks like her...
The eldest lady of the Ming family.
My father-in-law and I thought in horror that this must be his illusion.
"Why, are my paintings beautiful, or do you have something to say?"
Cang Qiao raised her ink pen, carefully traced the ropes binding the woman in the picture, and asked lightly.
The sudden question made He and his father-in-law tremble with fright. He didn't dare to look anymore, and his head almost hit the table. He was so anxious that he thought——
"No... someone came here to report the whereabouts of the eldest lady just now. I'm afraid it's not good..."
