A faint smile appeared in Si Haochen's eyes. He never expected that he would be the one with the fly in the ointment.
"I'll accompany you to my grandmother's house later." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek.
"Okay." Mingruo stretched out and called Zisu and Lithospermum in to help them change clothes and wash themselves.
There had been changes in Xikang before, and several uncles and cousins had gone to the border towns. Only my eldest aunt and second cousin stayed in the imperial capital with my grandfather and grandmother.
Mrs. Su pulled Mingruo to look at her, and said with some distress: "Ruo'er looks like she has lost a lot of weight."
"I only lost a little bit of weight, and I gained it back after just a few days at home." Mingruo looked around, "Where's my grandfather?"
"I stayed in the camp with your second cousin yesterday. Grandma has sent someone to send a message saying that you are coming today. He will definitely be back soon."
"Are you and my grandfather in good health?" Mingruo took Mrs. Su's hand and felt her pulse.
"We are all doing well." Mrs. Su sighed, "The people sent to Nanrong before said that your mother's condition is getting worse..."
Mingruo was shocked. Although she had not diagnosed the mother of the original owner, after recalling it, it should be a debilitating disease caused by the lingering poison. After Mingruo refined the Yiling Pill, he asked the secret guard to send the Yiling Pill.
After taking some warm and nourishing elixirs, it stands to reason that there should be no serious problems now.
"Is it because the medicine I sent before was not well eaten by my concubine?" Mingruo knew that his handwriting was different from that of the original owner, so he did not dare to write a letter. He only found a jade pendant that the original owner often wore as a token and sent it together.
past.
"I don't know what's going on, but I brought a lot of medicine to her this time. She should be better after taking it." Mrs. Su gently stroked Mingruo's hand, "Hey, since she
After marrying to Nanrong, our mother and daughter have never seen each other again..."
"Grandma, don't worry too much. I'll go back and make some medicine to nourish the body and send it over with Yi Ling Dan. Mother and concubine will be fine."
"The person who heard it back said that she was very relieved to know that the prince cherishes you and that we are taking care of you. It is also a worry." Mrs. Su took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Now the water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Mingruo saw that Mrs. Su was trapped in a sad mood and could not extricate herself, so she had to forcefully change the topic: "How is your aunt recovering after giving birth?"
"She is fine. The day of delivery went well, and she sat well during the confinement period." Old Mrs. Su continued, "The boy is also fair and fat. I have seen him in the palace several times. Next time I go to the palace,
I'll take you to see it, and you'll be happy to have a fat baby as soon as possible."
"..." Mingruo was a little confused, what happened just now, he was so miserable that he gave birth.
Si Haochen just walked in from outside, and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Mingruo's little face couldn't help but blush.
"Ahem." Mingruo pretended to be calm, "Let's go to the lotus pond and have a look."
"Okay." Seeing Mingruo's "awful" look, Si Haochen didn't want to tease her, so he just led her to the lotus pond.
Mingruo squatted on the edge of the lotus pond and stretched out his hand to caress a blooming lotus.
"What's wrong?" Si Haochen noticed that Mingruo's mood was not right, so he leaned down and touched her little head.
Mingruo told her what Mrs. Su told her: "You can send someone to deliver medicine to me again."
"Okay." Si Haochen thought for a moment, "If you want to go back to Nanrong, I will accompany you."
"You deliver the medicine for me first, and I'll think about it later." Mingruo felt that she could deceive many people, but she would never be able to deceive her mother, who had been living with her original owner since she was a child.
If the mother of the original owner knew that her daughter had passed away... this blow would probably be even more fatal.
"Yes." Si Haochen also knelt down next to Mingruo, "No matter what happens, I will face it with you."
Mingruo tilted her head and leaned on Si Haochen's shoulder: "Thank you."
"Little fool." Si Haochen put his arms around his silly girl.
Mingruo and Si Haochen had lunch at the Duke's Mansion and then went to a medicine hall. Since they didn't change into men's clothes, they went to the house at the back.
Shen Cong came over after hearing the news and almost cried when he saw Mingruo: "Master, you are back. If you don't come back, my apprentice will be tortured to death."
"Your master, I don't owe any romantic debt. As for someone to torture you here or there?" Mingruo directed Xunyi and Shishi to carry the medicines brought to the yard.
"This is really the romantic debt you owe."
Hearing this, the first jealous king of Donghuan jumped in his brows.
"The eighth princess of Nanrong, now Princess Ping, sends people every day to ask when you will come back and when the Anshen Pills will be in stock." Shen Cong said with a sad face.
"When people ask, just tell them. As for this look of bitterness and hatred..."
"The problem is, she comes to ask questions three times a day, and she comes rain or shine." Shen Cong felt tired just thinking about it.
Mingruo sat down on the stone bench nonchalantly and said, "I haven't even given you tea yet."
"Here we are, Master." Nan Xing brought two bowls of mung bean soup. "The mung bean soup I made at noon, with fresh mint added to it, has been soaked in well water. It is cooling now."
"We, Nan Xing, are still sensible." Ming Ruo wanted to pat the little boy on the head, but found that the boy had grown a lot taller, and she could no longer reach his head while sitting here.
"Hey." Nan Xing quickly lowered his head and took a picture of his master.
"..." Mingruo felt that he could not stop taking the medicine, so he still had to take calcium tablets to promote bone growth.
"There's still watermelon freezing in the well. I'll cut it for you." Nan Xing went to the kitchen with a smile.
Mingruo took out an unpacked bottle of medicine from his 'sleeve pocket': "Anshen Pills, you can pack them yourself."
"Okay, the medicine will do the trick." Shen Cong breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, he finally no longer had to waste words with the people in Prince Ping's Mansion.
Ming Ruo was eating watermelon when Shen Cong came back and Ming Ruo invited him to eat together.
Shen Cong couldn't care less about eating watermelon now: "The people from Prince Ping's Mansion came again just now, and I sold her tranquilizing pills. Now, Princess Ping is here and said she wants to see you for medical treatment."
"Oh." The illness of the original owner's mother was caused by Yan Mingyu's mother. Is she here in a hurry to 'pay off her mother's debt to her daughter'?
"Do you want to see her? If not, the apprentice will find a way to send her back."
"Just say I'm refining the medicine and let her wait." Mingruo waved her hand.
"Okay." Shen Cong went to the medicine hall to greet the difficult Princess Ping.
Mingruo slowly finished the watermelon in his hand before going into the house and changing into men's clothes.
Two quarters of an hour later, the elegant Dr. Ming appeared on the stage, followed by a masked 'guard'.
Mingruo saluted with an indifferent expression: "I have met Princess Ping."
"Doctor Ming, no courtesy." The eighth princess was gorgeously dressed and wore a bonnet on her head.
The light in the back hall was not very good, and only the outline of the eighth princess's face could be seen vaguely.
"I wonder what the princess is looking for?" Mingruo sat down on the main seat.
