The hot and moist feeling in the palm of her hand made Minglan withdraw her hand as if frightened, but she could only press it against his strong chest helplessly and in shame.
"The Queen Mother looks like this, why do you still have such thoughts?!"
Counting the Queen Mother, she is also the grandmother of his mourning king.
"What does their life and death have to do with me?" Cang Qiao slowly caressed her slender waist and said indifferently.
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment before she remembered that the late emperor was not the Queen Mother's biological child. The entire family of the late emperor died so tragically, and the Queen Mother did not protect any of them.
Cang Qiao probably had no feelings for this grandmother in his heart, and even suspected that the Queen Mother turned a blind eye to the palace changes that year. The Queen Mother died in front of him, and he would not blink an eye.
Ming Lanruo said softly: "But the Queen Mother is very good to me, and I also hope that the Queen Mother will be well."
She knew that he was busy with official duties and sneaked into Ci'an Palace to see her. He missed her and was worried about her, but she was in no mood to respond at the moment.
She has never met her grandmother or maternal grandmother. In her heart, the Queen Mother is her closest grandmother besides her father.
Cang Qiao's movements paused, and his white jade-like face had a kind of eerie and dark beauty in the dim light, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Ming Lanruo guessed whether he was angry, so she just complied with his wishes and added: "So, I beg you, I can do whatever I want when the Queen Mother is well."
Cang Qiao suddenly curved the corners of her lips and her eyes were as cold as black jade: "Looking at you, we seem to be unkind and bad people."
Ming Lanruo really wants to say, are you always a good person?
But she still didn't dare to say it. Mr. Tang had said that she was his only remaining "conscience", and she also knew that Cang Qiao regarded her as his lifeblood, but he always gave people a dangerous and unpredictable feeling.
She really pissed him off, but he wasn't polite either.
Cang Qiao suddenly said calmly: "The solution is very simple, nothing more than four words - frame up."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, her mind raced, and she immediately understood something.
She was so happy that she hugged his arm like a child: "As expected of the governor of the East Factory, he is so sophisticated! He is awesome!"
Cang Qiao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes leaving a shadow on his face, and she was so gentle that she said, "Since Concubine Ming has said that she can do whatever she wants, our family will naturally know everything."
The long tassels woven with gold threads on his hat brushed against the white skin on her chest, bringing danger and trembling, making Ming Lanruo freeze up.
She was really dizzy. How could she say that she could do whatever she wanted?
"That's actually..." She tried to save one or two.
But Cang Qiao let out a soft cry, turned around, and instantly disappeared deep into the bookshelf.
Ming Lanruo didn't hold anyone back: "..."
Damn it, this man is really angry!
She silently retracted her little paw. She should know that he felt uncomfortable watching her get married, even if it was just in name.
Forget it……
She ignored the situation on Cang Qiao's side with a turtle mentality, and decided to resolve the important matters on the Queen Mother's side first!
Ming Lanruo calmed down her mood, turned around and left the study, returned to the Queen Mother's palace, and whispered a few words to Aunt Tan.
Aunt Qin was stunned: "Are you really sure you can get the evidence?"
Ming Lanruo's smile was so bright that it turned cold: "Yes."
Aunt Qin nodded: "Then I will accompany you to meet His Majesty. Even if I risk my life, I will help you get out of the palace!"
At this time, the sky was already turning white.
At this moment in the study, Emperor Ming was not idle either.
The Queen Mother was seriously ill, so he was naturally anxious and couldn't get much sleep last night, even though the Queen Mother was very distant from him.
But the Queen Mother is his biological mother after all. He was able to secure the throne in the first place only because of the Queen Mother's intervention.
Early in the morning, there were many announcements from the clan and ministers. One was to severely punish Ming Lanruo, who used medicine without permission to gain fame, and the other was to inspect Ming Lanruo's Baicao Hall.
The reason is that the medicine Ming Lanruo used was obtained from Baicaotang, and she also used strong medicine without authorization to gain fame and reputation in order to expand Baicaotang.
Emperor Ming had heard about Baicaotang and knew that it was Ming Lanruo's property. Anyway, if Minglanruo died this time, Baicaotang could really be confiscated and add money to the treasury.
He sneered and was about to criticize it with a red pen.
But suddenly he heard the eunuch reporting beside him: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple, Marquis An Ning, Mrs. Wang and others are outside the door saying they have something important to report."
Emperor Ming was stunned and a little annoyed: "What are they doing here? Let Cang Qiao deal with it."
The eunuch on duty said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you asked Master Qiantose to check on the construction of the imperial mausoleum?"
The imperial mausoleum is located in Nanshan, sixty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, and the round trip would take three days.
Emperor Ming then remembered that he was afraid that Cang Qiao would be here, blocking him and unable to deal with Ming Lanruo, so he asked him to go to his imperial mausoleum to check the progress.
Unexpectedly, Cang Qiao simply went away, which made Emperor Ming feel secretly guilty again.
As expected, the most important thing in Cang Qiao's heart is that he, the emperor, is his lone minister and loyal.
But he wanted to kill the person Cang Qiao took care of. He clearly knew that Cang Qiao only took care of Ming Lan Ruoduo because he felt guilty.
Emperor Ming frowned and sighed: "Let them come in."
After a while, Dali Temple Minister Xu, Chengen Gong, Mrs. Wang and others all came in.
Emperor Ming came down with some confusion and personally helped the highly respected Old Master Wang: "Teacher, why are you here with Xu Aiqing and the others? What's the matter?"
Mrs. Wang clasped her fists: "Your Majesty, I heard that you want to inspect Baicao Hall?"
Emperor Ming was stunned, how did the old lady and the others know?
Time flies and becomes an hour.
When Ming Lanruo and Aunt Tan arrived at the study, they happened to meet Mr. Xu, the minister of Dali Temple, coming out of the emperor's study alone.
She smiled and saluted Mr. Xu: "Sir, thank you for your hard work."
Mr. Xu stroked his beard and his eyes flashed slightly: "Princess, you are welcome."
The two exchanged a look that only both of them understood, and then passed each other.
Ming Lanruo and Aunt Tan entered the study room together. She saw Emperor Ming's cold face and his gloomy eyes staring at her, which made her mood even better.
She bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the night becomes dark again.
Princess Yuanjia was sitting in the carriage, drinking wine in a very good mood.
The old nun beside her saw that the eldest princess was still drinking, so she advised: "eldest princess, please drink less."
"I am so happy that I have avenged Dehui and called Ming Lanruo, that little bitch, even Baicaotang is gone. Anyone who offends me in this world will not have a good end!" Princess Yuanjia said proudly.
happy.
"Yes, Princess Dehui will be very happy to know this." The old lady could only nod her head.
Princess Yuanjia has always had such a domineering character. Only she offends others, and she will never allow others to offend her!
"Haha... This time I want to let them know who in this palace should not be offended the most." Princess Yuanjia's fierce and old laughter did not stop.
The carriage shook, and she hit the wall with a clang, and then rolled out of the carriage.
"You bastard...how on earth are you driving? I'm going to kill your head off!" Princess Yuanjia fell to pieces and was so painful that she lay on the ground unable to get up, and her gray hair fell down.
A female voice with a cold smile said: "Hey, isn't this the eldest princess Yuanjia? Why is she so embarrassed?"
Princess Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, looking up in disbelief at the slim figure standing not far in front of her.
"Ming Lanruo! You...how could you leave the palace?!"
