I'm afraid that Chitose's usual spying skills in disguise will only be less than 20%.
He sighed with his father-in-law.
Cang Qiao didn't take his words to heart. She walked out of the door and took the tea from her father-in-law: "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace."
He and his father-in-law had no choice but to nod: "Yes."
He suddenly remembered something and looked at Cang Qiao with some emotion: "Tomorrow is another day for the Purity House to inspect the purification status of everyone in the palace."
Cang Qiao paused for a moment while holding the tea, and said calmly: "If I hadn't been running around with you back then, it would have been hard to hide the inspection this year."
All eunuchs in the palace must check their cleanliness once a year to prevent men from sneaking into the palace and contaminating the royal bloodline.
He and the father-in-law smiled bitterly: "Please don't hurt me, old slave. In order to hide your identity, you practiced magic skills and forcibly broke your body into a body that looks like a child of several years old and a celestial eunuch. I don't know how many sins you have suffered. Go, old slave."
Taking care of those things is just a double guarantee."
Thanks to my luck, I met Miss Ming and Old Doctor Tang, and now I can return to normal, and...
Even though my body is strong, thin, slender and fair, after the size returned to normal, I am quite proud of it.
There are two types of eunuchs, one is a normal person who is castrated, and the other is a person who is born with abnormal development, and the male symbol will always be like a child throughout his life.
The latter is rare, but the masters and ladies in the palace prefer eunuchs like the latter to serve them closely. The masters believe that the latter is not a man by nature and is more "clean" and smart.
Therefore, the eunuch who was responsible for purchasing eunuchs in the palace always searched for such young men and children to bring them into the palace to train them.
When Cang Qiao was a boy, he secretly made a trap and designed Emperor Ming to "save" him. After Emperor Ming knew that he was a rare "heaven eunuch" and saw that he was beautiful and clever, he made an exception and allowed him to serve pen and ink tea in the study.
However, he still had to undergo physical examinations every year. It was not until he took the power of Dongchang that he no longer had to undergo physical examinations.
Cang Qiao sighed softly: "Over the years, you have worked hard and suffered a lot. Thanks to you being by my side, the dignified former commander of the Royal Secret Guard used secret techniques to forcefully change his face and become a eunuch."
Lao He's eyes were slightly red again: "Don't say that I should be loyal to you because of the kindness of the late emperor. The whole family was saved by Concubine Mei back then. With her flesh and blood, I have to protect you even if I die!"
The royal guards were actually dead soldiers who never saw the light of day. During the palace coup, a traitor appeared among them, which was why the late emperor fell into the hands of the traitor so quickly.
Cang Qiao couldn't deny the first half of Lao He's words. Regarding his so-called father, when the other party betrayed him and his mother to save his life, he already had no feelings for that man.
Not to mention, because his mother was from a foreign race, that man, although he gave his mother enough love, he kept his mother and him in a palace in the mountains like an outer room.
He has never really paid much attention to his son, just because he is a so-called mixed-blood bastard, and he has never been allowed to enter the palace, let alone consider him as his heir.
He almost couldn't even get on the royal jade plate, but the Queen Mother couldn't stand it, so he only got on the jade plate when he was seven years old.
But the good thing is - precisely because almost no one in the government and the public has ever seen him, the "son of Concubine Mei", he was able to successfully lurk around Emperor Ming.
Thinking about those bad things together makes people upset.
He narrowed his phoenix eyes and simply turned to look out the window, looking out at the rare clear night, with clouds disappearing and rain falling, and stars filling the sky.
"It has been more than ten years and almost twenty years in the blink of an eye...things and people have changed, but it is half of what I wanted. The little girl from back then finally fell into my hands."
He tilted his forehead slightly, showing a faint and gentle smile.
I don’t know what his little lady is doing tonight, or whether he is in her dream.
…
Ming Lanruo entered the palace early the next morning and gave the Queen Mother acupuncture.
"I see you look much better. Just remember to avoid the wind and wait until the sun gets better before you go out for a walk."
Ming Lanruo pulled out the slender silver needle dipped in medicine from the Queen Mother's somewhat withered wrist, wiped it away and put it away while giving careful instructions——
"I won't be with you these days, but you must listen to Aunt Qin and take good care of her."
The Queen Mother leaned on the soft pillow and coughed lowly. Although she had lost a lot of weight, she was still quite energetic and rolled her eyes——
"Okay, nagging, you little girl, you still know that you are not with the Ai family, and there are no useful doctors around the Ai family!"
Since the last time Princess Yuanjia was secretly murdered with forbidden drugs, none of the imperial doctors discovered it, and the Queen Mother has become more and more distrustful of the imperial hospital.
Ming Lanruo looked at her sad look and couldn't help but chuckle: "Didn't I recommend an old miracle doctor named Tang to you? His medical skills are very good. Don't worry, he will take good care of you."
The Queen Mother sighed, looked at Ming Lanruo, and reached out to touch her little face: "You have been naughty since you were a child, but now that you have a child, you have grown up, and you are much smarter and calmer. Xiao Xi'er is yours."
Good news."
Ming Lanruo held the Queen Mother's hand and said warmly: "In my heart, you are just like my grandmother. In the past, Lanruo was ignorant. In the future, Lanruo will take good care of you and everyone who loves me."
The Queen Mother looked at her deeply, with some relief and melancholy in her eyes: "Your mother will be very pleased to see you like this."
As she said that, she suddenly glanced at Aunt Tan.
Aunt Tan then brought a box.
The Queen Mother opened the box, and inside was a delicate gold and purple jade lock with a very unique curly grass pattern.
"This is your mother's relic. It is the ancestral amulet of the Xiao family. It has been with the Ai family and will be kept by you from now on."
Ming Lanruo looked at the golden jade lock and looked at the Queen Mother. She saw a complicated look in her eyes, but she didn't look like she wanted to explain.
Ming Lanruo remained silent, only nodded and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."
After she left Ci'en Palace, she fumbled for the gold and purple jade in her sleeves, with a thoughtful look in her bright eyes.
Why did the Queen Mother give her mother's relics to her now, or rather just when she was about to leave the capital for Northeastern Xinjiang.
Thinking there was another use for it, she put the things away and looked at Chunming who was rushing over: "How is it? Has anyone noticed you?"
Chunming shook his head: "Don't worry, I went in and out of the East Palace very secretly. I only had contact with the maid next to the second lady. The things have been handed over to the second lady."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "That's good, let's go back to the mansion. We will set off tomorrow. There are still many things in the mansion."
Chunming asked with some confusion: "When the second lady was the princess, she tried to kill you and Master Xiaoxi again and again, but you finally forced her to be imprisoned in the palace.
She will be abandoned in just two years, and she will be no different from a useless person. Why do you want to help her regain your favor? Aren't you afraid that she will become ruthless?"
Minglan's bright eyes were cold: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since she doesn't want to be the princess, I can help her, but she must pay the price."
What's more, Ming Yueying has her blood Gu in her body. If there is any abnormal movement, she will know it. Ming Yueying is already afraid of the pain of thousands of insects eating her heart, so naturally she does not dare to betray herself.
Chunming nodded.
Ming Lanruo narrowed her eyes: "She is her father's biological daughter after all. My father actually doesn't want to see Ming Yueying die, so I give her a second chance."
If Ming Yueying commits stupidity and harms others again, she will not mind killing her relatives out of justice.
Chunming nodded: "Yes, don't worry, after we leave, everyone who will come into contact with the second lady has been arranged."
They will do whatever the master says.
Ming Lanruo was about to leave the palace when she suddenly saw a slender and imposing figure walking over surrounded by people.
She was stunned for a moment, her eyes moved, and she stepped forward to salute: "Master Qiansui."
Cang Qiao looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Why is Lan Ruo here, but she wants to leave the palace?"
Minglan Ruocai nodded, and then he nodded: "You are going to the Northeastern Territory. As your uncle, I don't know what to give you, so I will send someone to protect you."
As he spoke, he motioned for a young eunuch to come out from beside him.
Ming Lanruo took one look at the handsome young eunuch and subconsciously said: "Xiao Yanzi?"
The young eunuch immediately nodded and said respectfully: "It is the villain, Concubine Ming. I will accompany you to the Northeastern Territory."
Ming Lanruo moved her gaze from Xiao Yanzi's face to Cang Qiao's face with a speechless expression.
