Ming Lanruo looked at him and smiled: "We are not familiar with this little brother."
Jing He pointed the cold dagger in his hand at the scholar in white: "Let go of your hand!"
The handsome face of the scholar in white became gloomy, and then he let go of his hand: "That man has an ugly and fierce face. He must not be a good person. I'm just worried about this little lady."
Shangguan Hongye was angry and pointed his knife at the scholar in white: "How dare you, a commoner like you, dare to offend me...!"
"You are almost dead, and you still dislike others for offending you." Ming Lanruo snorted slightly and interrupted Shangguan Hongye's words rudely.
Shangguan Hongye covered his injured waist and stared at Ming Lanruo angrily: "Why don't you come over and show me the injury!"
"I am a doctor, but why should I help you? You and I have only cooperated on that one thing. There is no other benefit. Why should I keep helping you." Ming Lanruo walked over, half-kneeling and half-leaning against the door in a condescending manner.
Embarrassing man.
Oh, this man actually has his day!
Shangguan Hongye looked at her and suddenly smiled with cold white teeth: "Ming Lanruo, you are really burning down bridges!"
At this time, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and there were voices one after another——
"The assassin who assassinated His Royal Highness seems to be hiding in this alley!"
"Search! Never let the assassin escape!"
"There is an order from the summit. If anyone is found, he will be killed without mercy!"
Shangguan Hongye’s handsome face becomes increasingly difficult to look at!
This time he was careless and fell into Shangguan Zhou's trap. Everyone who followed him was already dead.
Apparently, his good brother planned to use the pretext of encircling and suppressing assassins to kill him in Tangquan Town!
He lowered his voice and threatened coldly: "If I die, your father will not end well in the Northeast. The elites I send to the Northeast will only obey my orders, and they will not save your father!"
Ming Lanruo turned her face sideways and looked at him as if he were a fool: "Now that you are dead, His Highness the Crown Prince will have no competitors, so my father can only support him, right? In that case, why should he bother my father anymore?"
Shangguan Hongye froze!
He had to admit that what Ming Lanruo said was right!
He endured it, but finally endured the humiliation and lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Ming Lanruo, as long as you save me, I agree to all your conditions!"
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows: "Okay, then I want the unknown master you brought back, and the medical books in your library in the capital belong to me!"
Shangguan Hongye's eyes flashed with extreme anger: "Don't even think about it, you are taking advantage of the situation!"
Those medical books were collected by him from various places and intended to be presented to his father. They contained many secret methods of alchemy.
But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is how much effort he has put into getting the unknown master, how many elites have died, and now that she is in trouble, she actually wants to take him away directly?
Ming Lanruo curved her pink lips and said calmly: "Then your Highness, King Qin, will be on his way soon. Anyway, you are dead, and this unknown unknown master who fainted is also mine."
"Bang bang bang bang, open the door, the government will investigate the case!" The door of the workshop was banged hard.
Shangguan Hongye looked at Ming Lanruo. The woman's cold and beautiful eyes were smiling, but the light in her dark eyes made people shudder.
He suddenly realized one thing clearly——
If he hadn't been of value, she would have opened the door without hesitation and called the prince's men in to kill him.
This woman...
He suddenly couldn't understand this woman who had been easily used by him. Maybe...she never loved him from the beginning?
This thought made Shangguan Hongye very uncomfortable, as if he was the fool being taken advantage of.
Everything was just a flash of lightning. Listening to the crazy banging on the door, a cold light flashed in Shangguan Hongye's eyes: "Okay, I promise you!"
After all the humiliation today, sooner or later, he will get it back from this woman with interest!
Ming Lanruo nodded, then stood up and whispered a few instructions in Jinghe's ear.
Jing He nodded, and immediately used his inner strength to roughly pick up Shangguan Hongye and lift him up to the rafter in the house.
Shangguan Hongye's handsome face turned pale in pain, but he couldn't hold back and couldn't make a sound.
Then, Jing He used the fastest speed to put the unconscious master on the stool.
Ming Lanruo poured half a bottle of the wine she found in the room on the master, and then threw the silk handkerchief in her hand to Jinghe.
Jing He took it, tied it on his face, covering the lower half of his face, nodded to Ming Lanruo, tiptoed, and disappeared in the yard in an instant.
All actions are done in one go.
The scholar in white looked at Jing He and narrowed his eyes.
When did she have such a powerful master beside her? But he underestimated Ming Lanruo.
At this moment, Ming Lanruo suddenly turned to look at the scholar in white who seemed to be confused, and smiled: "Give me your hand?"
She smiled brightly, and her charming and charming features became gentle.
The scholar in white was stunned for a moment and stretched out his hand involuntarily.
Who would have known that the moment she gently held his hand, a sharp sting instantly shot down the hole in his wrist.
The scholar in white froze completely.
The next moment, he saw her fingertips pull out several thin silver needles from the large hole on his wrist.
She said coldly: "From now on, you will be unable to speak. When the people outside leave, I will let you go, but if you dare to show anything wrong, you will be dead."
For this kind of passerby, it is most useful to let him see a direct threat.
The scholar's slender eyes flashed with surprise and evil, and he looked at her in disbelief. He found that he really couldn't speak.
Ming Lanruo felt a little guilty when he looked at him for no reason. The other person's eyes seemed to be very sad. It was really——
baffling!
"Did you hear that?" she said impatiently.
The scholar in white clothes seemed to be frightened when he looked at Ming Lanruo's appearance. He pursed his thin lips and nodded sullenly.
Ming Lanruo then trimmed her hair and then went to open the door.
"Bang!" She opened the door just a crack before someone kicked it open.
Ming Lanruo was well prepared and quickly turned sideways to avoid being hit.
She imitated the scholar in white and held her chest, looking frightened: "Masters, what's going on?"
A group of people who looked like guards in black barged in with murderous intent and swords in hand.
"Why is the door open so slowly? I don't want to live anymore. Did anyone with injuries break in just now?" The head guard with a beard waved his hand, and the others immediately dispersed to search the yard without being polite at all.
Ming Lanruo didn't stop him, just shook his head: "I'm waiting here to see the goods in the workshop. During this period, I didn't see anyone coming in."
The tall guard chief had stayed in the palace, and he saw that Ming Lanruo had an extraordinary air about her. Although her clothes looked plain, they were made of valuable brocade.
He narrowed his eyes and looked her up and down warily: "So you are not from the workshop. Which noble family are you from? What are you doing here?"
Ming Lanruo smiled slightly: "I am Princess Mou of Prince Mou's Mansion. I have been to Tangshan to accompany the Queen Mother these days. I just came down today to go shopping for a garden party. However, the master of this workshop seems to have drunk too much after lunch. Until now.
Didn't even wake up."
As soon as these words came out, the captain of the guard who was leading the search was startled. He looked in the yard and saw that there was indeed a middle-aged man lying on his stomach and smelling of alcohol.
He felt a little uncomfortable and clasped his fists in salute, and said respectfully: "It turns out she is Princess Mourning, who is serving as the first-class guard commander of the East Palace. She is so reckless for such lowly positions."
Ming Lanruo waved her hands as though she didn't think so: "Those who don't know are not guilty. Even if you don't come, I will go back. The Queen Mother is still waiting for me."
The captain of the guard looked a little ugly. They clearly saw King Qin coming to this alley, and they should not have let the person who appeared here go.
But if Minglan is Princess Mourning, there is the Queen Mother behind her, and Her Royal Highness is no longer there, and they dare not stop them, then there is only...
The captain of the guard glanced at the scholar in white standing behind Ming Lanruo.
"Get the scholar in the back and take him away!"
The scholar in white raised his slender eyes: "..."
Ah, he looks easy to bully, right?
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly, she couldn't let them take the little scholar away.
Otherwise, the thin and frail scholar would not have to be tortured. He could just kick her and Shangguan Hongye out.
She stopped in front of the captain of the guard and said with a smile: "This is the one who came with me. He is my father-in-law who is serving me at Tangquan Palace."
The captain of the guard was stunned and looked at the scholar in white in confusion: "You are the father-in-law. You don't look like it. How can you prove it?"
The scholar looked thin and tall, but his bookish and elegant aura did not look like a eunuch.
The scholar in white looked at Ming Lanruo expressionlessly, haha, what a coincidence, he is really a "eunuch"
He suddenly lowered his eyes, closed his jaw, folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, bowed slightly toward them, and nodded in salute.
That is the standard posture of a palace eunuch when serving his master.
Ming Lanruo was stunned when he saw this, this scholar...
The chief guard also came from the palace, so he naturally recognized this gesture as that of a palace eunuch.
He looked at the thin scholar and suddenly told the people around him: "Go and check."
Before Ming Lanruo had time to stop him, the other two guards strode towards the scholar in white.
They raised their hands to hold his shoulders, and reached out to lift his robe to see his crotch.
