Chapter 587 A bunch of chores

Prince Yu's Mansion has offered a large reward to find An An, and notices have been posted all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and some counties around the capital have also begun to post them.

Two more days passed and there was still no news from An An.

It has been five days since An An disappeared. During these five days, Luo Lan's heart ached as if it had been torn out, but she could not fall down, and she did not dare to fall down. Leng Yu was busy at home and outside.

He was so anxious that if she fell again, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

For the past five days, she forced herself to wake up every day and forced herself to sleep again.

In the past few days, the people in the capital knew that something had happened in Prince Yu's Mansion. Some people had severe dysentery but did not bother her. This was probably because the dysentery virus had mutated. The anti-diarrhea drugs that Luo Lan had prepared before no longer worked. This was also

As a result, some people become more and more serious...

Luo Lan came to the main hall and was just about to sit down and have a sip of tea when A Gang hurried over, came to Luo Li, and said impatiently:

"Princess, there was a letter from the medical center just now, saying that... someone died due to diarrhea."

died?

Hearing these two words, Luo Lan's heart hurt as if something had stabbed her. She looked at A Gang and asked anxiously:

"What's going on? Didn't I prepare enough medicine? How could someone still die?"

"I don't know. It's said that the medicine you prepared didn't work anymore. This patient knew that something was going on at your home and didn't dare to bother you. He found another doctor and couldn't afford the medicine, so... he died."

Luo Lan's heart was so painful that she stood up from the chair, held on to her shaky body, and gritted her teeth and said:

"Go and have a look."

Just as she was about to take a step forward, A Cai hurried in.

"Princess, there is an old woman coming outside. She insists on seeing you. If I ask her something, she refuses to tell me. What should I do?"

Old woman?

Luo Lan's brows knitted into a knot. Since he came to see her by name, there must be something important and there was no reason for her to disappear.

She sat on the chair again, waved her hand and said:

"Go to Huichun Hall later and invite her in."

"yes."

A Cai responded and walked out quickly.

After a while, A Cai brought a ragged old woman to the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion. When her sunken eyes saw Luo Lan, she knelt down on her knees and began to beg.

"Princess Yu, please let me go and punish the women of the country. The women of the country are guilty!"

Her inexplicable words made Luo Lan look at her with confusion.

"What are you guilty of? Who is your son?"

The old woman lowered her head and kept sobbing, but remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Ah Cai took two steps forward impatiently and asked loudly:

"The princess is asking you something. Please answer quickly. We have other things to do and don't have time to wait for you here."

Hearing Ah Cai's roar, the old woman trembled, then knocked her head on the ground and sobbed softly,

"A civilian woman encouraged her son to guard and steal herbs and cloth from the military camp..."

What?

These words made Luo Lan's face suddenly darken. A few days ago, her husband had mentioned that the military camp was stolen. She was too busy looking for An An these days to ask about it.

The old lady in front of me took the initiative to mention this matter. Could it be that this old lady was the mother of the warehouse manager in the military camp?

Although she was in a hurry to go to Huichun Hall, she still asked doubtfully:

"If you have something to say, just say it. I still have a lot of things to do. If you keep hesitating like this, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, Luo Lan prepared to stand up. Seeing this, the old woman said hurriedly:

"Returning to the princess, the son of the common woman is surnamed Wu, and he is the warehouse manager of Prince Yu's military camp. In the past few years, the common woman has been suffering from illnesses. In order to treat the common woman, the family has been completely ruined. My son wanted to save me.

, he stole medicinal materials from the military supply store several times. Later, when he saw that my illness was not cured, he stole some cloth from the army in order to make a shroud for a civilian woman. Fortunately, God was merciful and the Lord of Hell did not accept me.

This sick body, but...but my son's theft was discovered by the prince, and now he has been locked up. I originally planned to go to the military camp to replace my son, but...but I'm afraid that I won't get there before

He died on the road in the military camp, so I thought of coming to you. Please tell the prince and let me take my son's place! He only stole things for me."

Luo Lan seemed to understand the old woman's intermittent words.

But stealing the munitions depot is not a trivial matter, and it is not something she should be concerned about.

So, she said calmly:

"The state has national laws, and the military has military regulations. Since your son stole things from the military camp, he should be punished by military law. The affairs of the military camp are not my responsibility, so you should go back!"

"Princess, you can't just ignore it? If you don't ignore it, how will I live if my son is punished by military law?"

"Your son's behavior is called stealing. He was reckless before stealing. If you indulge him this time, how will the military camp be managed in the future?"

"But...but there is a reason for his incident. I beg you, Princess, to show mercy and intercede with the prince. Let the woman of the common people suffer the punishment on his behalf!"

As she spoke, the old woman kept kowtowing on the ground, and Luo Lan's face became increasingly ugly.

It's not that she doesn't sympathize with the old woman in front of her, and it's not that she doesn't want to help her. She really can't get involved in matters in the military camp. As Princess Yu, she knows better than anyone else that once a woman stretches her hand too long, she will end up with nothing but

Make things more and more confusing.

Thinking of the patients waiting for her in Huichun Hall, and of An An who had not yet been found, she felt powerless. In order to prevent the old woman in front of her from disturbing her peace, she could only wave her hands perfunctorily.

"You should go back first. I will find an opportunity to talk to the prince about this matter."

Seeing that she finally agreed, the old woman hurriedly continued to kowtow.

"Thank you very much, Princess Yu. Thank you very much, Princess Yu. Your great kindness will be unforgettable to all women."

Luo Lan stood up and said to the old woman kneeling on the ground:

'You go back first, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you.'

With these words behind her, she took long strides and walked toward the main entrance of the palace with a heavy heart.

During the few days when An An was missing, Leng Yu was absent-minded and repeatedly made big mistakes when handling the memorials from the ministers of the DPRK. This also caused some of the ministers of the DPRK to go directly to the emperor to complain. Of course, these people were in Leng Yu

This was done under Xi's instruction.

This time, the emperor rarely punished him, but expressed his understanding of his feelings. He immediately ordered an imperial list to be posted, offering a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to find Leng Anping, the missing second lady of Prince Yu's palace.

In order to get the silver reward, the people in the city were waiting for the opportunity to get rich overnight. However, even so, An An disappeared for seven days and there was still no news.

An An fell asleep in that secluded room for seven days. Leng Xi sat by the bed and looked at her with a frown.

In these seven days, this is what he does most often. He likes to look at this familiar face and recall every moment between him and Long Xiaomin.

He knew he shouldn't do this, the girl in front of him was his niece, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

The doctor just looked at her and said that her injuries are almost healed and she will probably wake up in the next two days. In order to prevent this little girl from recognizing him when she wakes up, Leng Xi has been wearing a slightly mysterious veil.

He was very aware of the fact that Leng Yu often made mistakes in handling government affairs these days. He felt that his decision to place An An here was not wrong. Even if An An woke up, he did not intend to send her back, at least to let her recover from her injuries.

Staying here for a while in the name of her would also mess up Prince Yu's palace, but he confirmed that from beginning to end, he never thought of harming her in the slightest.

"Who are you?"

Just as he was planning this in his mind, a voice as weak as a mosquito sounded in his ear.
