Ming Lanruo rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said calmly: "Thank you for telling me the 'good' news that I will be sniped to death by the number one general in the dynasty!"
Shangguan Hongye frowned: "Actually, there is a sure way to solve this problem."
Ming Lanruo listened and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "What can I do?"
It's very interesting. He and she are obviously enemies, but he would kindly come up and come up with ideas to solve her trouble?
Shangguan Hongye looked at her steadily, his eyes sharp: "By marrying me, you will become my concubine. Naturally, it will be difficult for my uncle to touch you."
Ming Lanruo pondered and nodded: "Well, when the time comes, let me, the person who discovered the evil fetus, tell Your Majesty that the evil fetus has died. The Queen has suffered for all the people of the Ming Dynasty with her body. Now she has shed the evil fetus and replaced it with immortal bones.
When you are respected by all people, not only can you lift the confinement, but you can also elevate your empress' status to a higher level!"
Shangguan Hongye's obsidian-like eyes flashed with gleaming light: "Wonderful, I really underestimated you back then. I didn't expect you, Lan Ruo, to be Zhuge among girls!"
Ming Lanruo looked at him and raised her eyebrows: "What a pity, I'm not crazy yet. Let a queen come out who wants to cut me to pieces?!"
She finally set up a trap and trapped the queen into being imprisoned for ten years, although the side effect was a bit big - the hatred of the military attachés of the entire dynasty.
But, she will not regret it at all!
"I can guarantee that my mother will never embarrass you again when she comes out." Shangguan Hongye frowned and spoke sternly.
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Puch...you really think highly of yourself. Who doesn't know that our King Qin is extremely filial to his mother?"
In Shangguan Hongye's previous life, except for military and state affairs, he had obeyed Queen Zhou's advice.
After Shangguan Hongye, the eldest son of Queen Zhou, married Zhou Changle, the family's favorite concubines were tortured to death one after another.
But Zhou Changle had the support of his aunt, Queen Zhou, so he pretended not to see them and just had them buried lavishly.
She narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully: "The Queen has a soft face and a cruel heart. If you can persuade me, she will not collude with Dr. Gong to set up a trap to harm me."
She had only been back from Tangquan Mountain for a few days, and how many times had she been almost killed? Which time was it without Queen Zhou's handwriting?
"Ming Lanruo, you..." Shangguan Hongye was exposed mercilessly. He looked a little embarrassed and wanted to defend himself.
Ming Lanruo walked closer to him and interrupted him in a low voice: "By the way, I want to tell you something. I managed to get the Queen into the trap. Let her out..."
She raised her cold and bright eyes and looked at him word by word: "Don't think about it!"
She was fed up with this arrogant man's self-righteousness and didn't mind directly stating their hostile stance.
Shangguan Hongye's expression changed unpredictably, and he raised his voice: "Ming Lanruo!"
Ming Lanruo pressed her messy hair and said calmly: "Why are you shouting so loudly? Qin, our cooperation ends here. If you want to kill me, just come."
After that, she picked up the medicine box and turned around to leave.
Shangguan Hongye looked at her back and said sternly: "Ming Lanruo, stay on top of things so that we can meet each other easily in the future, or are you always counting on Nine Thousand Years to protect you for the rest of your life?"
Ming Lanruo paused and said coldly: "Anyway, I don't expect your Highness, Prince Qin, to protect me. Please mind your own business."
After that, she turned and left.
Shangguan Hongye stood there, his handsome face full of suppressed embarrassment and resentment.
"My lord, please calm down..." Mutan, the chief guard beside him, whispered to Shangguan Hongye.
Shangguan Hongye took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger: "Mu Tan, Minglan Ruo followed me every day, why did it become like this in just a few years?"
Mutan hesitated for a moment, then chose a way to comfort his master's injured pride: "I heard that the eldest lady suffered a lot in Mourning Prince's Mansion, and you never helped her. It is said that she admitted in front of His Majesty that she was responsible for you.
Love breeds hate….”
Shangguan Hongye frowned: "Then she is too petty. Which man can tolerate his woman having someone else's child!"
What's more, at that time, he just felt that if Minglan was a fool, she was almost destined to have a bad ending if she was sent to a ghost marriage. He was crazy to get involved in her troubles.
Mutan was very puzzled: "The strange thing is that five years ago, you, the prince and she were all drunk in that restaurant. Why would she rather die than admit that the child belongs to the prince or any of you? This made her angry.
His Majesty."
Shangguan Hongye fell into deep thought: "The restaurant was owned by Ming Lanruo at that time, and there were no outsiders. According to the prince's virtue, he was his child. In order to get the support of Ming Guogong, he had already happily married her. It can be seen that the child
Not his."
So, who is Ming Lanruo’s child?
Mutan looked tentatively at Shangguan Hongye: "Your Highness, how much did you drink that night five years ago? Do you really remember nothing?"
Shangguan Hongye sarcastically retorted: "I started eating meat at the age of thirteen. I am not a child who has never had sex with a woman. Although the woman drugged me, she never did it. How could I not know... Hmm.
"
But at the end of the day, he didn't know why he felt a little unsure.
"Miss Ming has great medical skills. The medicine she gave to the wine may have caused amnesia and insomnia. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't remember anything either..." Mutan muttered.
Shangguan Hongye became more and more irritated by what he said. He clenched his fists: "According to you, this child is either mine or the prince's?"
Before he passed out, there were only a few people present. They couldn't be Mutan or the little eunuch beside the prince. They were all sent outside the restaurant.
When he opened his eyes, the incident had already happened. People from Dongchang surrounded the restaurant, and he didn't even know what happened.
Shangguan Hongye narrowed his eyes: "No matter who it is, now, in order to solve the mother's dilemma, we must marry Ming Lanruo."
If it turns out that the child is the best for him in the future, if it is the prince's, he will keep it until he grows up in the future and send it away far away.
Although he hates the prince, it is not to the extent that he cannot tolerate an illegitimate child with no status.
Mutan sighed: "Do you think Nine Thousand Years Old will marry his niece to you?"
Shangguan Hongye froze and snorted coldly: "Methods are thought up by people. As long as Minglan is willing, what can he, an unrelated uncle, do?"
…
As soon as Ming Lanruo left the Queen's Palace, Chunming immediately followed silently.
Seeing that her young lady looked unhappy, she didn't ask any questions.
The two got on the carriage and went all the way back to Prince Mou's Mansion.
As the night got darker and it was almost time for dinner, Eunuch Qi led people to bring many things over and looked at the silks and satins, including various jewelry.
Ming Lanruo finished reading and took all the orders, but she just said to Qi Gonggong: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back to her room.
Eunuch Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice: "My eldest lady, the governor is also doing it for your own good. What he said may not be acceptable, but you are indeed reckless, please don't be angry."
Master Chitose and his baby are angry, but it is the people below them who are unlucky.
Today, when my father came back, he was very angry and noisy, which made them frightened.
Ming Lanruo smiled and said calmly: "I'm not angry. Whoever is angry is a dog. Xiao Qizi, please go back. Jinghe, see the guest off!"
Jing He politely held the helpless Eunuch Qi in his arms and walked out: "Hey, it's time to go!"
Xiao Qizi is about to cry. Oh my god, Miss, are you still angry?
The man from Dongchang was still waiting for me to come back with some news that would make him feel better, but now it's over.
Chunming accompanied Ming Lanruo back to his room and looked at a room full of gold, emeralds and white jade boxes.
She hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Miss, the Governor... I see that he has you in his heart."
Although she doesn't have a romantic partner, she is different from Jinghe's stupid girl.
At least the way Jiu Qiansui looked at his young lady was possessive, and it was definitely not the way he looked at a junior. The young lady didn't resist, she just remained silent, showing that she didn't hate that man.
Although this kind of relationship is shocking, as long as the young lady is happy, she will help her to go all the way to the end.
"You don't hate Master Qiantose, why don't you tell him your feelings to avoid a lot of misunderstandings." Chunming carefully comforted him.
Ming Lanruo looked at Chunming and smiled: "My Chunming is indeed the smartest and knows everything."
She lowered her eyes again and sighed: "How do you know I didn't say it?"
During the period after she was released from the captivity, when she approached him again and again, she had already confessed her feelings, but what did he think?
He believed that she confessed her love to him in order to escape from the confinement, and he was afraid that it would still be the same now.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "There is no such precious thing as trust between us."
He is the governor of the East Factory who is used to having great power, with one person under his command and over ten thousand people. He wants her to be in his palm so that he can feel at ease and not worry about gains and losses.
But she was framed and imprisoned in the sky prison. After he turned around and left with Yun Ni in his arms, she had already decided that she would not be in anyone's hands and would never trust others with her life or death.
This is the... knot between them.
Chunming looked at his young lady and said blankly: "Miss, what have you been through...are you really not angry?"
At that moment, the eldest lady's brows showed all-seeing indifference, unlike a woman who was twenty years old.
Rather, she looks like an old woman who has seen everything through everything in this world.
Ming Lanruo held up her chin and said with a cold look on her face: "Why are you so angry? One day, sooner or later, I will let everyone in the civil and military circles know that without him, Cang Qiao, no one can do anything to me, not even Emperor Ming!"
In her previous life, she witnessed the death of Emperor Ming and the death of the Queen Mother with her own eyes and even participated in them.
Therefore, in her heart, she is actually a person who has no respect for the emperor or his ministers.
Cang Qiao said that without him, she was nothing and anyone could crush her to death.
Okay, now it is a fact, she admits it!
His words only made her more determined to enrich her own wings and cultivate her own power.
Since he misses her so much, from now on, she will step on him whenever she has the chance and use his momentum to rise all the way up.
Ming Lanruo opened the Miao medical books on the table, drank tea and said leisurely: "Wasting this time fussing with men and competing with women for favors, why not read more books."
Before she found Agu, she wanted to expand her wings, so she naturally had to hone her medical skills.
Chunming said seriously: "Young lady, it doesn't matter if you want to be Emperor Wu or Empress Lu. When you become powerful and Master Qiantose loses power, take him into your house and make him a concubine. If you don't obey, you'll beat him!"
Ming Lanruo spit out a mouthful of water: "Plop-cough cough cough!"
No wonder Chunming and Jinghe are a pair of sisters, one is calm and steady, the other has a bad temper, but sometimes, they have the same weird ideas.
…
Outside the door, a slightly older figure was holding snacks outside the window, silently listening to the conversation between Ming Lanruo and Chunming.
Grandma Wang looked at the door with complicated eyes, but finally did not enter. She turned around and quietly returned to her room.
"Mother Wang." Sitting in her room was a young servant who was writing a letter. He was one of the six male servants she hired this time.
Seeing her come in, he immediately put down his pen and stood up.
Grandma Wang sat down and looked at them: "Chen Ning, are you still used to it these days?"
"Thanks to grandma, everything is fine. I am writing a letter to my hometown." Chen Ning nodded steadily.
Servants are rarely literate, but Chen Ning's handwriting is sharp and sharp, as if it contains the spirit of a sword.
Grandma Wang looked at him: "You have been here these days, what do you think of the eldest lady of the Ming family?"
Chen Ning frowned: "I can't tell clearly yet. I just think she is beautiful and has medical skills. The rest is just...an ordinary lady."
Grandma Wang smiled, her eyes sharp and not like her usual muddy and mediocre look——
"No, the eldest lady of the Ming family may be more like the young Marshal Xiao than her mother. She looks like a gentle gentleman, and she looks like a slender beauty, but she is unruly and unruly in her heart. She has no intention of the superiority of the emperor and his ministers, and ignores the ethics.
The butt is so strong, it comes from the same origin."
Chen Ning was stunned for a moment and frowned: "You have been secretly observing her for many years in Prince Mou's Mansion. You have always said that she has some medical skills, but is weak and showy. Why did you suddenly change your evaluation of her?"
Grandma Wang sighed: "It was the old woman who misjudged me at the beginning. She was able to endure humiliation and bear the burden for the young master for five years, and she was also able to fight her way out."
Chen Ning was silent for a while, then raised his eyes: "Sorry, Nanny, we didn't have enough time to observe her. If she is just for her children, I don't think her vision is qualified to become the heir of the Xiao family."
Xiao Shuai's hidden treasury and Red Blood Legion cannot be handed over, even if Minglan is the only orphan in the world with Xiao Shuai's bloodline.
"Xiao Shuai's will is very clear. If the orphan of the Xiao family does not have the qualifications and abilities, he would rather be completely annihilated than let the incompetent control these things."
Grandma Wang shook her head and said calmly: "Don't worry, the days are long. The dragon is lurking in the wild and the phoenix dances in the sky. I believe that one day, you will see her become a qualified successor to the Xiao family."
If Ming Lanruo married into the royal family, or lived an ordinary life as a rich mistress, none of them, the surviving orphans of the Red Blood Legion, would ever reappear.
But this delicate young lady took a complicated path that was despised by the world.
She also saw the shadow of Xiao Shuai in Ming Lanruo, who valued love and justice, was decisive in killing, flexible, patient and smart.
Therefore, she wrote a letter and the people who entered Prince Mourning's Mansion were all the elite orphans of the Red Blood Legion hidden in various places.
They need to observe Ming Lanruo and see if she has the qualifications and ability to inherit the hidden power of the Xiao family and subvert this dark world.
