Lu Zhiqing was suffering from allergies every day, so naturally she no longer had the opportunity or mood to go to Lu Zhiyao to trouble her. Because the doctor specifically asked her not to go out, so as not to let the pollen outside blow onto her body and make her condition worse.
. But Lu Zhiqing couldn't understand that there were no flowers planted near her residence, so why couldn't she go out to take a breath? The discomfort all over her body and the pain of not being able to leave the house made Lu Zhiqing can only scold the incompetent doctor every day, and also made her feel uncomfortable.
Ye Lianrong was very helpless.
"When will the days when people and ghosts end?" Lu Zhiqing sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the miserable face in the mirror, and lost her temper again. She threw all the things on the table to the ground.
Lu Zhiqing stood up and looked at Ye Lianrong in the room, crying: "Mom, you should help me think of a solution!"
"What are you making a fuss about? Do you think that your mother and I are the royal doctor in the palace and can treat all diseases?" Compared to Lu Zhiqing's irritability, Ye Lianrong was much calmer. She sat at the table and looked at Lu Zhiqing with a slight frown.
Said: "You brought it on yourself, no one else is to blame for this."
"Royal doctor?" When Lu Zhiqing heard Ye Lianrong mention the word "royal doctor", an idea suddenly came to her mind. She strode to Ye Lianrong's side. Before Lu Zhiqing could say anything, she was pushed away by Ye Lianrong in disgust.
"Mom, why don't you ask my father to ask the palace doctor to come and take a look at me?"
"Fantasy, who do you think you are? The imperial doctors in the palace are reserved for the emperor and the empress of the harem. You dare to use the imperial doctors even if you have a minor pollen allergy. Are you afraid of being laughed at if you tell me about it?" Ye Lianrong was helpless.
Then, he had no choice but to reprimand Lu Zhiqing. "Don't mention this matter again. If your father finds out, I'm sure he will be angry!"
"If you don't mention it, don't mention it..." Lu Zhiqing sighed in frustration. After being trained by Ye Lianrong like this, he couldn't vent his anger and could only find the maid uncomfortable. Lu Zhiqing looked at Yuechan who was standing next to Ye Lianrong and said coldly.
Said: "What are you doing standing here? Get out!"
"Yuechan." Ye Lianrong watched Yuechan walk to the door of the room and stopped her. "You go out and help me collect some things and come back."
Yuechan listened to Ye Lianrong's instructions and walked out of the room. But within a few steps, she met Lu Zhiyao coming towards her.
"What are you doing here?" Yuechan raised her chin and asked politely.
"My father asked me to come. If you don't want to see it, you can go to him and tell him." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly and blocked Yuechan's mouth with just one sentence. He walked straight to the door and said
Yao knocked on the door latch. When he walked into the room and met the surprised looks in Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong's eyes, Lu Zhiyao said softly: "It seems that my sister's illness has no signs of improvement at all."
"Are you laughing at me?!" Lu Zhiqing stood up emotionally and yelled: "Get out, don't let me see you!"
"I heard that being in a bad mood will also have an impact on your condition." Lu Zhiyao was neither annoyed nor angry. He looked sideways at Ye Lianrong and said, "Second mother, it was my father who asked me to take care of my sister."
"Your father asked you to come?" Ye Lianrong was skeptical of Lu Zhiyao's words.
"That's right." Lu Zhiyao nodded. You know, in order to come to Lu Zhiqing, she had to waste a lot of words to convince Lu Yuanzheng. "And I also brought you good news."
"What a joke, what good news can you have?"
Lu Zhiqing sneered and was about to mock Lu Zhiyao, but she heard Lu Zhiyao say clearly every word: "My sister may become the crown princess and the future queen. I wonder if this is good news?"
"What did you say?" Ye Lianrong was stunned, "Let's make it clear!"
"The emperor wants to choose a princess for the prince, and the seventh prince suggested that he want his sister to enter the palace." Lu Zhiyao said, carefully looking back at the direction outside the door, then took a step forward, approached Ye Lianrong and whispered: "As for
Whether my sister can get her wish and be elected as the Crown Princess depends on my sister and my second mother. The time to enter the palace is seven days later. If my sister stays like this, I think there is no hope. "
How could the master let this wild girl tell them about such an important matter? Ye Lianrong couldn't understand. Although the master had been disturbed by the affairs of the court and had trouble sleeping every night in the past few days, he should not be so confused.
Yes. But if this kind of thing is not true, Lu Zhiyao must not have the guts to tell this lie...
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lu Zhiqing's clothes and tugged at the corner of his mouth without leaving any trace. She was still wearing her own washed clothes. If she kept like this, even if she took medicine, what would happen?
"Er Niang, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yuechan is out. Just in time, you go out to the Jingren Pharmacy in the city and get Qing'er's medicine back." Ye Lianrong dismissed Lu Zhiyao. After Lu Zhiyao left, Ye Lianrong turned to look at Ye Lianrong.
Lu Zhiqing, who looked confused, whispered: "Crown Princess?"
"Mom, isn't she lying to us?" Lu Zhiqing's mood was a little complicated. Although the title of Crown Princess was good, Lu Zhiyao just said that it was the seventh prince who suggested that she enter the palace. She...
"She wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if she had the guts to do it, but why would your father let her take care of you?"
"That's right! How can she take care of me? She doesn't want to kill me, so I'm so thankful!" Lu Zhiqing curled her lips, not believing that Lu Zhiyao had the heart to serve him. In fact, that's exactly what happened.
In this way, Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to find Lu Yuanzheng and wanted to be with the two mothers and daughters. He indeed had other purposes.
This was Lu Zhiyao's first time out of the Prime Minister's Mansion since he arrived there. Walking on the busy street, Lu Zhiyao controlled his excitement and walked towards Jingren Pharmacy.
Lu Zhiyao walked all the way until she was blocked by a large crowd of people in front of her, and she had to stop.
In the country of Xia Lai, slave trading is almost everywhere. Many poor families in the countryside want to sell their daughters to wealthy families to be maids, but not every girl can be sold at a good price.
Therefore, those traffickers often select some good-looking ones and then sell them to brothels, or, in the current method, sell them on the street. As long as the bidder is the highest, no matter who they are, they can take the person.
Walk.
Lu Zhiyao just took a casual look, wanting to see what kind of person was selling now, enough to attract so many people to watch. However, when she saw the man kneeling in the middle of the crowd, he looked terrified and uneasy, with tears on his face
When he saw the woman, Lu Zhiyao felt his mind buzzing, and then it went blank.
Xia Han...that's her sister Xia Han!!!
Lu Zhiyao, who had always thought that the entire Xia family had died tragically, finally couldn't control himself after seeing such a scene, and rushed into the crowd frantically. Under everyone's surprised eyes, he knelt down next to Xia Han,
Hug her.
Xia Han was startled by her sudden action. After seeing clearly that she was a woman, Xia Han whimpered and wanted to beg her to save him.
"What are you doing? If you want to buy someone, just bring out the money!" The trafficker reacted after being stunned for a moment. He glanced up and down at Lu Zhiyao's not-so-high-end clothes, and the man cursed fiercely: "Look at how poor he is.
, get away quickly, don’t delay our business!”
"Xiao Han, don't be afraid, sister will take you home!" Lu Zhiyao hurriedly untied the foreign object from Xia Han's mouth, and then was pulled aside by the burly human trafficker.
"Let me go!" Lu Zhiyao shook off the man's hand hard and asked with a trembling voice: "How much? How much do you want! I'll buy it! Can't I buy it?"
"Is he a lunatic?" The man joked and looked back at his accomplice. According to common sense, men buy beautiful girls. Even if they are women, they should be the madams of brothels. But the one in front of him is a madam.
The deputy maid is dressed up, why is she joining in the fun?
"What did you buy her for? Uncle, I paid two hundred taels of silver, can you give me more?" A man in purple clothes stood aside, fanning his fan while staring at Lu with a lewd look.
Zhiyao's face. "How about I buy you for two hundred taels?"
The man's words made the onlookers laugh, but they couldn't stop Lu Zhiyao from wanting to save his sister. "I'll pay three hundred taels!"
After saying that, Lu Zhiyao turned around and tried to grab Xia Han's hand.
"Wait! You said three hundred taels? Three hundred taels? Where's the silver? Take it out and take a look!" The trafficker stopped Lu Zhiyao, not believing that she really had that much money.
Lu Zhiyao bit her lower lip. She really didn't have any money with her at the moment. But if they couldn't bring out the money, they would never let her take Xiaohan away. What should she do?!
Lu Zhiyao, who was a little desperate, had a mentality of wanting to use force as long as he could take Xia Han away. Just when she clenched her fists and wanted to knock down the man in front of her, a lazy voice suddenly sounded.
came from afar.
"Five hundred taels, I want the man."
The man's voice attracted everyone's attention, including of course Lu Zhiyao's.
Behind the crowd, I saw a sedan parked there, and the man who spoke was the person in the sedan.
"Master?" Ling Yi said in surprise, "Do you really want to buy her?"
"You've already said it, why don't you buy it?" Lin Yinan lowered his head and played with the ring on his hand, and said casually: "Why are you still standing? It's time to go home."
When Ling Yi heard what Lin Yinan said, he had no choice but to take out five hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and walked up to the trafficker. Then he casually pulled Xia Han up, who was still kneeling on the ground. He really couldn't understand, Master Hua
What are you going to do with so much money to buy such a maid? What if she is the second young lady of the Xia family? Wouldn't it be a bigger trouble to keep such a person by your side?
