Eunuch He's face changed slightly, and he said calmly: "This is the privacy of Master Yun and Chief Yun, and our family cannot discuss it arbitrarily."
Ming Lanruo saw that she and her father-in-law were unwilling to talk, so she knew that she couldn't get anything out of her if she pressed them.
She nodded: "I will try my best to heal him."
There are some things that she has to investigate slowly. Something must have happened that night five years ago that she doesn't know about!
After saying that, she told her father-in-law: "I will go back to the Duke's Mansion first, and I will move here in the next two days."
Eunuch He frowned: "You are going to the Duke of Ming Dynasty's residence, but the Duke has already severed relations with you..."
The Duke of Ming Dynasty has an arrogant and conservative temperament, so I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo sighed softly: "This is my business. You can go ahead and help me take care of the child."
He agreed with his father-in-law that he would take good care of Ming Lanruo's child even if it was for his master's health.
Ming Lanruo turned around and went to the Duke's Mansion.
Duke's Mansion
In the gorgeous room, a thin figure asked coldly: "Are you saying that Lan Ruo is coming to the Duke's Mansion?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, Crown Princess."
Ming Yueying smiled coldly: "Oh, it was a pity that her little cub was not killed today. But now she has come to the door in person, so it will just take her on her way."
Her words happened to be heard by Mrs. Qin, the wife of the Duke's wife who was about to enter.
Ms. Qin was startled and couldn't help but said: "Ying'er, your eldest sister has suffered a lot in these years. She has severed ties with the Duke's Palace long ago and has no relationship with the prince. Why do you have to do this!"
Ming Yueying, however, seemed to be stimulated and screamed hysterically: "It doesn't matter what she suffered. If it weren't for her, how could I be where I am today? What have I lost? Don't you know? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today."
I’ve already…”
"Pah!" Before she could finish her words, Mr. Qin slapped her in the face, interrupting her words.
Mrs. Qin was so angry that her whole body was shaking: "Are you crazy? You are now the Crown Princess and the future Queen. You don't know what you can't say? Are you trying to kill our family?"
Ming Yueying's thin body shook.
She covered her face and smiled lowly: "Since childhood, you have always been partial to Ming Lanruo. Sometimes I don't know whether I am your daughter or she is your biological child. I know clearly what I have lost because of her.
, you are still protecting her!"
Mr. Qin was furious: "What stupid things are you talking about!"
Ming Yueying raised her eyes, her delicate face was abnormally distorted, and said word by word: "In short, I want her to live worse than death!!!"
Mr. Qin was furious and wanted to step forward to say something.
Mingyue's maid Xingren immediately stepped forward to hug Mrs. Tan and begged in a low voice: "Madam, please don't irritate the Crown Princess anymore. She has not had an easy life these years, and it was just a moment of anger. I will persuade her!"
"
Mrs. Qin was helpless: "Ying'er, you are my biological child. How could my mother harm you? You must calm down!"
Seeing that Ming Yueying ignored her, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Xing Xing persuaded Mrs. Qin to leave, and whispered to Ming Yueying: "Mother, please think twice."
Ming Yueying was sitting by the window, looking at the cold lake not far away, with scarlet tears and hatred gradually welling up in her eyes.
She chuckled: "Did anyone give me a chance to think twice?"
She suddenly remembered something and whispered to Xingren: "Go to the front door and wait, and tell the person at the front door to let her in..."
After explaining in this way, Xingren was a little scared, but he didn't dare to go against his master's wishes, so he went anyway.
…
Ming Lanruo lingered at the door of the Duke's Mansion for a while, but still hesitated to call the door.
She is timid in her hometown, and she is very aware of her father's noble and stubborn character.
But in the end she mustered up the courage to step forward, but the servants guarding the door only hesitated for a moment and let her in.
"I heard that Princess Mourning wants to see the Duke, please come with me." A woman dressed as a maid said blessing to Minglan at the door.
Although Ming Lanruo felt that this maid looked familiar, she didn't know why she was waiting at the door.
But when she could see her father, her eagerness replaced her doubts, and she followed the maid to the inner courtyard.
After experiencing so many things in her past life and this life, she was not unprepared, and she had prepared the silver needle in her hand early.
Along the way, when people saw Ming Lanruo, they all looked like ghosts. They were stunned, surprised and disdainful.
Ming Lan Ruoquan pretended not to see it until she was led by the maid to the door of her father's study. She happened to meet Duke Ming Guo coming out with Changsui.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but hesitated again.
The Duke of Ming Dynasty was a slender and handsome middle-aged man. His clothes with dark blue sky and water patterns made him look cold and cold.
When he first saw Ming Lanruo, his face turned cold: "Why are you here? Who let you in?"
Ming Lanruo took a step forward: "Father..."
"Who is your father? My father-in-law has severed ties with you a long time ago. Come and beat this woman out, so as not to dirty the land of the Ming family!" Ming Duke's eyes were cold.
The attendants around the Duke of Ming all looked at each other in astonishment. This eldest lady of the Ming family was once the most beloved daughter of the Duke of Ming.
But now, although she has disgraced the face of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, she has become a stain on the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
But she was also the Queen Mother's benefactor, so they dared to do whatever they wanted.
"Why, this is my own Duke's mansion, and I can't even command anyone anymore?!" Duke Ming was extremely angry, and said sternly as he waved his sleeves.
Ming Lanruo's eyes turned sour as she looked at her father who hated her so much.
The housekeeper hurried over and asked the maids to pick up Ming Lanruo.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, before her death, her father and daughter were on the same level.
She was a member of the King of Qin, but her father supported the Crown Prince and repeatedly accused her of being unfilial and unjust and wanted to beat her to death.
But when she and her child were tied up by the prince and put in a cell, they were going to hang them in front of the city gate the next day to threaten the King of Qin who forced him into the palace.
But it was this old father who had severed the relationship between father and daughter long ago and was still lame, who tried to lead people to rescue her and her grandson Xiaoxi, but ended up tragically killed by the crown prince's entourage.
Ming Lanruo pushed away the hands of the servants and raised her voice: "My lord, I am not here to ask you to recognize me. I only want to tell you something important. Even if you don't want to see me anymore, you should do it for the whole family."
consider!"
Duke Ming Guo looked at her with great disgust: "I don't want to hear anything you say, get out!"
It was his confidant Tu Lao who stroked his white beard and advised in a low voice: "Ming... Princess Ming has been very close to Dongchang recently. Why don't you listen to what she has to say."
The Duke of Ming Dynasty was stunned. He didn't like those people in Dongchang who only knew about spying and torture, and specialized in shady things.
But he also knew not to offend those dark villains easily.
He finally turned around and entered the study with a cold face without saying a word.
Tu Lao glanced at Ming Lanruo: "Princess Mourning, please."
"Thank you, Mr. Tu." Ming Lanruo thanked him gratefully and immediately followed him into the room.
Ming Guogong's study was still as simple and elegant as she remembered. She often played here when she was a child and climbed onto her father's lap.
Her father, who was always serious, would hold her little hand and patiently draw various small animals.
Ming Lanruo had so many thoughts that she almost cried.
"Alright, just say what Princess Mourning wants to say." Ming Guogong stood with his hands behind his back and didn't look at her at all.
Ming Lanruo calmed down her thoughts and whispered: "I heard that the Duke will go to the Northeast to relieve the snow disaster after his fifteenth birthday."
"The imperial edict will not be issued until the next year. How do you know that Dongchang told you?" Ming Guogong sneered.
Ming Lanruo paused for a moment. Although her father hated Dongchang, at this time, Cang Qiao's name was more convincing than her own words.
She considered it carefully and said: "That's right. Dongchang is investigating the matter and suspects that this disaster relief incident is a conspiracy!"
"Conspiracy?" Ming Guogong and Tu Lao looked at each other.
Ming Lanruo knew that they were willing to listen, and she immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now on the same level as the King of Qin who has the support of the vassal king. You should know that."
"Everyone knows something, what are you talking about?" Ming Guogong said coldly.
Ming Lanruo didn't take it seriously and continued to say seriously: "My lord, you are the leader of the Qingliu civil servant faction in the court. You have great prestige. The prince needs your power, but you are in your prime and never take sides. He can't wait any longer. This disaster relief effort
This is his conspiracy, as long as you are injured or disabled during the disaster relief..."
"He is my son-in-law, and I have no children, only two daughters. After becoming disabled, I will have no choice but to fully support him?" Ming Guogong raised his eyebrows.
Ming Lanruo felt relieved when she saw what he said immediately: "That's right. It's good that the Duke of the country knows about it. You must not go for this disaster relief."
My father's leg was broken during this disaster relief operation and was chopped off alive by bandits from the Northeast. He barely managed to save his life. From then on, his body became weak and he could only work behind the scenes.
"Haha... get out!!!" Ming Guogong suddenly sneered, and then shouted angrily at Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo took a step back: "Father..."
"After so many years, you still haven't made any progress at all. You are still obsessed with King Qin. Now you come here to slander the prince. Isn't it because you want me to support King Qin?" Ming Guogong was furious, and his chest heaved with anger.
Seeing the disappointed look in Ming Guogong's eyes, Ming Lanruo was at a loss for words: "Father, I didn't. I really heard about it from Master Qiantose..."
"Then go back to that gelding in Cang Qiao! His dirty place can tolerate you, but I can't tolerate you here!" Duke Ming Guo couldn't bear it and walked away.
The study door was slammed shut with a bang.
Ming Lanruo almost shed tears, but she couldn't blame her father for not trusting her. It was her former self that disappointed her father so much.
She forced back her tears, looked at Mr. Tu and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tu, you are the person that my father trusts most. If the Duke's palace is damaged, everything will be damaged. Please consider carefully what I said today."
Tu Lao was also very hesitant. He had seen this proud eldest lady crazy about King Qin, but now she was much more modest and steady in everything she said and did.
He didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Ming Lanruo sighed softly and stood up: "I'm going to leave first. If you have any questions or needs, please go to the Prince's Mansion to find a nanny named Wang."
Tu Lao saw that Ming Lanruo was so thorough in her work and even left a secret contact method. He was somewhat convinced by her and nodded: "Okay, it's getting late. You go back first."
Ming Lanruo saluted him: "I'll ask you to assist me in everything."
Tu Lao watched Ming Lanruo leave and secretly sighed that this young lady had really changed.
Speaking of which, when Ming Lanruo walked out of the study room, she was still the maid who had just brought her to see Ming Guogong.
She raised her eyebrows: "I remembered, you are the second sister's maid Xing Xing, why is she in the house today?"
"Yes, Princess Mourning, my Crown Princess wants to see you." Xing Xing said happily.
Minglan said thoughtfully: "It seems that you are willing to take me to see my father because it is my second sister's wish, so go ahead."
Xingren was stunned, but he didn't expect her to agree so simply. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and led Ming Lanruo away.
Ming Lanruo met Ming Yueying at the Lotus Lake in the mansion. Her head was covered with pearls and greenery, but she could not hide the lack of expression on her face. She was wearing a ermine cloak and sitting on a stone by the lake.
Ming Lanruo looked at her back and said calmly: "Second sister, you have lost so much weight for the sake of the prince. It's not worth it. You have always known that I hate him."
She had no food in Prince Mou's Mansion, but Ming Yueying shouldn't be so thin. It can only be said that she was trapped by love.
Ming Yueying looked at the lake and whispered: "Ming Lanruo, you are still so selfish and willful. You can pursue and reject whomever you like and dislike."
She paused, turned to look at Ming Lanruo and smiled coldly: "Then I will learn from your selfishness, you know, I hate you too, no, I hate you, you shouldn't be there if you have me in this world,
I shouldn’t have to have you!”
Ming Lanruo frowned and tried to explain more clearly: "In fact, the prince doesn't love me either. He just wants to provoke us sisters to take advantage of my father. If you hate me, you will really fall into the trap!"
Ming Yueying suddenly smiled: "I hate you for having anything to do with the prince. Even if he doesn't love you, I still hate you and wish you could die without a burial place!"
After saying that, she suddenly leaned up and fell into the cold lotus lake with a "pop!"
Xingren suddenly screamed: "The Crown Princess, the Crown Princess - fell into the water, Princess Mourning, why did you push the Crown Princess into the water? She already has a little grandson in her belly!"
Xingren’s scream quickly alerted people near Lianhu Lake.
Ming Lanruo was completely shocked by this incident. She really didn't understand——
In her previous life, Ming Yueying fought against her to the death in order to win favor. In this life, she has never married a prince. Why should she do this!
Ming Lanruo's heart sank, and she knew very well that Ming Yueying's methods were simple and crude but... ruthless and effective.
This woman doesn't care at all that she is pregnant, she wants to trade the grandson in her belly for her own life!
