She thought for a moment, then reluctantly took out half of the bowl of braised pork and packed it in an old tea bowl.
Then, she picked up a small packet of herbs from the cupboard and hid it in her sleeve, then turned and walked out the door.
Ming Lanruo carefully avoided the people in the backyard and went to the concierge in the front yard.
A cleaning woman who was responsible for guarding the side door was hiding in the concierge and warming herself by the fire.
Ming Lanruo opened the curtain and entered the door, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, I am thirty today and there is nothing to give, so don't dislike it."
Mrs. Wang was stunned when she saw Ming Lanruo.
Everyone in the palace knew that Nanny Liu seemed to be a gentle and gentle person, but she was actually the most severe and mean person.
Ming Lanruo, the so-called princess, is not as free as a slave, and would never dare to come to the front door.
Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on the half bowl of fragrant braised pork, but she still took it with a smile: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward. I wonder what brings you here?"
Life in the palace was difficult, and today she only got one cabbage dumpling.
Ming Lanruo took out her pair of plain silver gourd earrings and sighed: "Lin'er has been with me for these years anyway. Since she likes these earrings, let's give them to her before she leaves the house."
Mrs. Wang had seen Lin'er showing off the pair of earrings she had stolen, so she let out a "poof" in disdain——
"You are so kind. That little hooves stole your things and bullied you. He deserves to be sold to a place like that!"
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "Selling to that kind of place?"
Mrs. Wang pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. The smell was so delicious that she smacked her lips: "Tsk, don't you know, the Madam of Chunxiang Pavilion took Lin'er away with Mr. Gui this morning!"
The cold wind outside the door made Ming Lanruo tremble, and her face turned pale.
The fact that the madam from Chunxiang Pavilion dared to come and take Lin'er away, coupled with Tingting's weird expression today, she understood——
In all likelihood, Nanny Liu had evil intentions directed at herself.
No matter how bold the old pious woman is, she doesn't dare to sell her, but that doesn't mean she won't be forced to work as a prostitute!
If you are really caught in the trap, not only will your innocence be lost, but you will also suffer humiliation. If the incident comes to light in the future, tarnishing the royal family will be a punishing punishment!
Even Xiao Xier can't save her life!
A cold light flashed in Ming Lanruo's eyes. She had endured all these years just because she hoped that Xiao Xi'er could survive her fifth birthday safely.
But she has endured it to this point, and there are still people who are unwilling to let go and plot her life!
She suddenly took out the medicine bag hidden in her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Wang. She smiled softly and said, "You need this bag of medicine. I have something to do here and I want to trouble you."
Mrs. Wang looked at the packet of medicine and was stunned.
A quarter of an hour later, a gap opened in the side door of the palace, and Ming Lanruo got out wearing a worn hood.
On the evening of New Year's Eve, there were already few people on the road, and no one noticed a person coming out of the shabby and shabby palace.
She looked at the sky, held up her skirt and ran straight to the Wutong Street entrance where the Dongchang Yamen was located.
As the saying goes, the gates of hell are the gates of hell, and the gates of the East Factory and Yamen of the human world are like those where one is destined to enter, but not destined to return.
During this year's thirtieth year, every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Only the east factory with white walls and black tiles exudes a strong smell of blood. No one dares to approach it within a hundred meters radius, and it is still eerie and cold.
The imperial guards at the door looked like shady agents from hell, standing expressionless and fully armed.
Ming Lanruo thought about it for a while, found a hidden place to sit down, and thought about it silently.
If she remembered correctly, at this point, the man would return to Dongchang Yamen from the palace.
It was so cold that she could only huddle up and rub her hands to keep warm.
Just when she was almost too cold to bear it, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly towards Dongchang Yamen with people cheering from behind.
Ming Lanruo's eyes darkened, she stood up and stamped her feet, walked straight to the middle of the road, and rushed directly to the front of the car not far away.
"How dare you stop Chitose's car!" The heavily armed guards jumped out like lightning and surrounded her with knives and murderous intent.
Ming Lanruo ignored the knives pressed against her neck and shouted at the carriage not far away: "My little girl asks to see Lord Qiantose. I have something important to report!"
She disobeyed the imperial edict and left the palace without permission. She could only disguise herself and did not dare to state her name directly.
But Cang Qiao must recognize her voice!
In the carriage, a man in a red python robe was lazily leaning on a soft pillow with his eyes closed to meditate.
He and his father-in-law looked at their master's indifferent expression and felt a little embarrassed: "Master..."
"A wild cat blocking the road is worthy of your asking, just throw it away." Cang Qiao said leisurely without opening her eyes, rubbing the red gold heater with her white jade-like fingertips.
He and his father-in-law saw that their master had no intention of getting out of the car, so he could only turn around and get out of the car by himself.
He rudely ordered the factory guards around him: "No matter how many cats or dogs dare to block my master's carriage, I won't drag her away!"
Before Ming Lanruo could react, the factory guards roughly grabbed her arms and pulled her aside.
She stayed for a second and suddenly realized that Cang Qiao didn't want to see her at all.
Bastard, you can’t see her, right?
While struggling hard, she screamed unceremoniously at Cang Qiao's sedan chair——
"I am a traveling doctor from the Miao family in the southwest. Lord Governor, you have a serious illness! I know a recipe that is said to be able to rejuvenate the yang and recreate it. I am here to offer it to Lord Governor!"
He father-in-law:......
Factory guards:......
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Someone actually shouted in the street that he could make the governor rehabilitate a great eunuch?!
Humiliation, blatant humiliation!
My father-in-law and I turned pale, and pointed at Ming Lanruo tremblingly: "You... you... you... a crazy woman!"
The factory guards finally reacted, drew their swords and slashed at Ming Lanruo head and face!
"Shut up, crazy bitch!"
"Oh..." Ming Lanruo turned pale and subconsciously bowed and held her head.
But the next moment, a cold voice sounded from the carriage: "Stop, take her to the East Factory, I will interrogate her personally!"
The factory guards immediately stopped their hands and glanced at the embarrassed Ming Lanruo with ridicule and pity.
Being interrogated by the governor himself would be more satisfying than being hacked to death by one of their swords.
Ming Lanruo was thrown directly into the torture chamber.
The turbid air was filled with the stench of blood and burnt flesh, and not far away there were screams of prisoners.
She was tied to the cross by her wrists, resisting the desire to gag, and looked coldly at the person sitting in front of her: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and your uncle doesn't recognize me anymore?"
Cang Qiao leaned lazily on the cushions of the Eight Immortals Chair.
The soft velvet snow fox cape made his skin white and transparent, and his eyebrows were trimmed and his nose was like a painting.
But his emotionless and cold voice chilled Ming Lanruo: "Princess Mourning, you disobeyed the imperial edict and escaped from the palace privately. You should be executed according to the law."
Ming Lanruo sneered: "If I don't run away privately, my uncle will never be able to be a man for the rest of his life, and there will be no hope of ever being reborn..."
Before she could react, a cold claw roughly grabbed her throat.
"Ming Lanruo, if you want to die, I will help you!" Cang Qiao pinched her, and the corners of her slender eyes were dyed with a layer of sinister scarlet.
Ming Lanruo's face flushed, and she stared at him stubbornly: "Cang Qiao, I know you are not a real eunuch, and your Yang Shrinking Syndrome can be cured...!"
