Ming Lanruo helped the two elders up, glanced at the young man huddled in the corner, and said coldly: "It's just that my grandson is so weak, lacks exercise, and no medicine is of any use."
"It is still necessary to eat a light diet and exercise regularly to maintain the Qi and reconcile yin and yang. This is the right way to strengthen the body."
Ming Lanruo really couldn't stand a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was so delicate that she fainted easily.
Not to mention compared to Cang Qiao's hidden scholar, even compared to Chu Yuanbai's monkey who climbed mountains and went into water.
The young scholar cried in grievance, but did not dare to say anything.
The old lady and her husband were very grateful.
"We will definitely supervise Xiaoyu. We will always remember your kindness in remaking her."
Sure enough, in the next few days, the old lady and her husband took good care of Ming Lanruo and the people who came with them.
Naturally, Ming Lanruo also came here every day to torment the young man named Gu Siyu, whose nickname was Xiaoyu.
It pricked him until he cried, and he was scared when he saw her, but within three days, his condition was much better, at least he didn't faint at all.
Until Ming Lanruo and others were ready to leave.
The old eunuch and others were grateful and ordered people to collect many herbs and specialties for Ming Lanruo and his party.
"Today I say farewell to Concubine Ming. I wish you a happy journey." The old eunuch's wife personally brought the local specialty honeydew brewed with flowers to bid farewell to Ming Lanruo.
Others also received honeydew and snacks.
The carriages were already waiting outside the gate. Ming Lanruo was wearing a cloak. Everyone drank a cup of honeydew and said goodbye to the old lady and her husband.
But when she put down the cup, she saw Xiaoyu rushing over with the help of the boy, waving to her anxiously and stamping her feet: "Mother, you can't drink..."
The expressions of the old lady and her husband changed drastically, and they immediately asked someone to hold down their grandson.
After a pause, Ming Lanruo suddenly fell to the ground, and other people who had drunk honeydew also fell to the ground.
The old eunuch's wife immediately asked two servants to support Ming Lanruo.
Her eyes were red and she murmured to herself: "My queen, I'm sorry, I don't dare to disobey the emperor's order."
The boy named Xiaoyu finally struggled to walk in front of them, crying and stamping his feet——
"Grandma, grandpa, how can our scholarly family do such a thing of repaying kindness with enmity!"
The old eunuch also closed his eyes and gritted his teeth with a guilty look on his face: "The new emperor has ascended the throne. The secret decree came yesterday. Concubine Ming was involved in the Dongchang rebellion case. His Majesty ordered that the empress must be sent back to the capital alone, and that Doctor Liu should lead the convoy.
The people will go to Miao territory on their own."
How could he eat the emperor's salary, and how dare he resist the decree?
Do you still want this whole family of lives?
The imperial envoy came to see him yesterday disguised as a food delivery man. He also went to see the local garrison.
Once Concubine Ming is let go, the local garrison soldiers will directly send troops to capture Concubine Ming.
Those soldiers are all rough and tough. It would be bad if Concubine Ming falls into their hands. Why don't they hand Concubine Ming over to the imperial envoy to take her back!
They found out that Concubine Ming was good at martial arts and that there were no simple people around her. They couldn't resist, so they gave her the medicine.
"You are going too far. My Majesty is still my savior!" Gu Siyu turned pale with anger, but he had no choice but to stamp his feet.
When he realized something was wrong, he came to inform his benefactor, which was already the limit of what his body could do.
Wiping away her tears, the old eunuch's wife hurriedly went up to comfort her grandson: "Little Wang, don't worry, the imperial envoy said that His Majesty's will is not to hurt Concubine Ming even a hair. I think His Majesty likes Concubine Ming very much in his heart."
When the new emperor was in his dormitory, the main concubine was already gone, and she was just an ordinary wife.
Logically speaking, Concubine Ming is not a queen, but a concubine.
Gu Siyu always felt that something was wrong: "But when it comes to treason, nothing is so easy. How do you know that His Majesty is not going to capture Concubine Ming for torture?"
"This..." The old eunuch and his wife were stunned.
"Because the old governor and his wife actually knew in their hearts that this possibility might not be impossible, but they just didn't want to bear the burden of their conscience, so they only talked about the good side of things."
A cold female voice sounded faintly.
The old eunuch and his wife were startled, and immediately turned around to look, and saw that the two servant girls beside Ming Lanruo had already fainted.
Ming Lanruo stood there slim and graceful, unscathed and looking calm.
Not only her, but also the guards and confidants who were following her were also standing in high spirits.
It's just that their faces no longer have the kindness they had before, but instead have a cold and murderous look on their faces, with swords in their hands.
This made everyone in the prefect's mansion feel frightened and couldn't help but tremble.
"Ming Fei... you... you... how... are you not fainted?" The old eunuch pointed at her tremblingly.
Jing Ming sneered: "What is the background of my eldest lady? How can the doctors lead people to help the epidemic if they can be defeated by your simple methods?"
Ming Lanruo looked at the old eunuch and his wife calmly: "I actually discovered something was wrong with you yesterday. I just thought that maybe you wouldn't betray me. After all, I saved your most precious grandson."
Nowadays, when the situation is turbulent, the red-blooded people are extremely vigilant.
I have long understood all the personnel in the prefect's mansion and the people who come in and out.
Otherwise, how could he dare to let her fall into the prefect's mansion.
The imperial envoy sent by the new emperor yesterday was disguised as a food delivery person, but he didn't come to the prefect's mansion where the food was delivered, which already attracted the attention of their spies.
In addition, there were hidden stakes of red blood in the local garrison, and the imperial envoy also discovered that he had sent people to the army.
She already knew the news.
However, now that Shangguan Hongye has inherited the throne, once he issues an arrest edict, local governments will naturally respond.
She has not yet reached the three southwestern provinces, so of course she cannot directly confront him.
That's why we stood still.
Ming Lanruo smiled coldly and looked at Gu Siyu: "You two are not as understanding as Xiaoyu - you can't repay kindness with enmity."
Seeing that the young man who looked like a ghost to her actually still had a pure heart made her less heartbroken.
"Concubine Ming is a wise lady, but this old couple can't stand you. But how dare we violate His Majesty's decree, especially since we are a single child like Xiaoyu."
The old lady knelt down in tears, full of guilt.
"Everything is our couple's fault. Kill us and spare the child Xiaoyu and the rest of the family."
The old lady had been on the battlefield when she was young, and she could tell at a glance that the guards around Concubine Ming seemed ordinary, but the aura around them was that they had seen blood and killed without blinking an eye.
Ming Lanruo adjusted her cloak and said coldly: "I won't kill you, but Gu Siyu has to come with me. When we are safe, I will naturally let him go."
The old eunuch and his wife were stunned: "What?!"
Concubine Ming wants to kidnap their grandson!
"Mother, if you want to arrest me, then arrest me. Xiaoyu's body is weak!" The old eunuch's wife couldn't help but cry. She knelt down and rushed over to hug Ming Lanruo's legs.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "I want Gu Siyu to let you and your wife think carefully about how to deal with the new emperor's imperial envoys and cover our whereabouts."
She is not the Virgin Mother. The old lady and her husband treated her like this, but she can still think about them - think about what Shangguan Hongye did to them!
"Take it away!" After saying that, Ming Lanruo turned around and left. Gu Siyu cried and was gagged and dragged into the carriage.
