Huh? Is it the second emperor brother who came to congratulate Emperor Sheng on his birthday? Mingruo thought about it and found out that he got along quite well with this second brother in Nanrong before.
"Okay, I understand." Mingruo asked A Yuan to help her trim her hair.
Then, he and Si Haochen went to the Little Flower Hall. The three of them greeted each other and sat down respectively.
"When did the Second Emperor's brother arrive?" Mingruo asked.
"I came here three days ago." Yan Zhaokai said with a smile, "Fortunately, I left early and my fifth brother hasn't gone back yet. If he knew that Xiaojiu was here, he would definitely steal my job."
"Is your father okay?" Mingruo felt that his father was in good health, but he was worried that Yan Cang's remnants might cause trouble.
"Father is very good, but he doesn't like liveliness anymore. It is said that this year's New Year's Eve family banquet and the palace banquet on the first day of the Lunar New Year will be cancelled." Yan Zhaokai thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, King Beichi Dun led the delegation to stay at the post house. I thought
By switching places with me, it looks like I'm trying to cause trouble for you.
King Dun is a cunning and cunning man, so you should be more careful."
"We will pay attention, thank you." Si Haochen nodded.
"They are all members of our own family. Say 'thank you' and then go away." Yan Zhaokai lowered his voice, "I heard that Emperor Sheng's condition is not good. It is not certain whether this birthday banquet can be held.
You'd better be prepared to leave at any time - Emperor Sheng has not yet established a heir apparent, but there are three powerful princes. If anything happens, there may be chaos."
"I can spare it." Mingruo agreed quickly.
"I'm tired from the journey today, so I won't disturb your rest. I'll prepare a lunch for you tomorrow, okay?"
"I will take Ruo'er there by then." Si Haochen asked Chu Yi to see Yan Zhaokai off.
The news that Emperor Sheng was seriously ill spread outside the palace, and he should be very critical. Mingruo was a little anxious now, and hoped that Feng Muling would arrange for him to see a doctor for Emperor Sheng as soon as possible. If the person died, it would be really serious.
There is no way to save the day.
When Mingruo returned to the dormitory, A-Yuan got her some common clothes and put them on her, and also took off some of the hairpin rings on her head.
Mingruo fiddled with the broken hair on her temples: "A Yuan."
"My slave is here." A Yuan stopped what she was doing.
"You and the Third Prince of Xikang are old acquaintances." Ming Ruo used a statement tone, which was obviously not a question.
A Yuan was stunned for a moment, then knelt down directly on the ground: "I didn't mean to deceive the master. I ask the master to atone for his sins."
It turns out that Xikang, like Donghuan, also has a being similar to the national master, who is called a great wizard. The great wizard lives in the wizard palace, which is the spiritual belief of the people of Xikang.
Since ancient times, wizards have been divided into two groups: black and white. The great wizard is also determined by the winner of the black and white two's Gu fight. Just last year, Emperor Sheng was seriously ill, and the black wizard took advantage of the chaos to plot against the great wizard at that time and took the position of great wizard.
A Yuan is a saint of the white witches, and is also the target of the black witch. The big witch tried his best to hold off the assassin, and then gave A Yuan a chance to escape.
At that time, there was no place for A Yuan in Xikang. She knew that her cousin had gone to Donghuan to trace the traces of the sacred objects, so she went to Donghuan to look for her cousin.
But the black witches' pursuit of her never stopped until she slipped and fell off the cliff.
"At that time, I thought I was dead and didn't want to be rescued by my master." A Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller. "My master showed great kindness to A Yuan, but A Yuan concealed his life experience from his master. Please punish me."
"..." He actually treated this saint as a maid for more than half a year. It was really a sin. "You get up first and speak."
"I don't dare." A Yuan lowered her head to her chest, like a child who had done something wrong.
"As long as you don't have any harmful intentions, I'm not interested in your personal affairs." Mingruo helped A Yuan up, "Then wouldn't it be dangerous for you to return to Huadu now?"
"I am a saint, and I have to hide my face since I was a child. Therefore, almost no one has seen my true appearance. Even the black witch is chasing me based on the natal poison on me.
Moreover, I discovered that as long as you stay by the master's side, the natal Gu will automatically restrain its aura to avoid being discovered."
Mingruo rolled his eyes, the Gu insect 'condensed its aura', probably because it was afraid of being missed by Linglong.
"Now that you have found your cousin, go and do what you want to do." Mingruo took out A Yuan's body deed from his 'sleeve pocket' and said, "I'll give this back to you."
"Master, please don't drive A Yuan away." A Yuan hid his hands behind his back and refused to accept the contract. "I am not capable now. I can neither help my cousin nor avenge the great witch. If I stay in Huadu, I will cause trouble to others."
trouble……"
Mingruo didn't know the situation in Xikang, so it was hard to say anything, but Feng Muling probably didn't want to let his cousin work as a maid: "Where you want to go, you should discuss it with your cousin. He should find an opportunity to visit you.
of."
"Yes." A Yuan lowered her head again.
"Okay, you can go down." Mingruo originally thought that this trip to Xikang was for tourism, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be nothing but chicken feathers.
A Yuan walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Mingruo pulls the pillow, and Ge You is paralyzed first.
Si Haochen held the pillow with one hand and leaned beside Mingruo, his movements lazy and leisurely: "What do you think?"
"See with your eyes?" Mingruo was also speechless. She was not Yuan Fang, how could she see...
"Ahem." Even though Si Haochen was often amazed by the little princess's 'quiet words', he still couldn't adapt. "If you don't want to keep her, just let Feng Muling take her away."
"Actually, I don't care, but she is a saint or a prince's cousin after all. It's not appropriate for me to be a maid..." Ming Ruo spread her hands.
"My Ruoer is so amazing and beautiful, who can't use her?" Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek.
Her boyfriend forced the filter on again, and Mingruo was embarrassed by the compliments.
At the end of the day, Feng Muling sneaked into the post house, but he didn't come to see A Yuan.
"Princess Yunqin, the little king has an unkind invitation." Feng Muling looked very embarrassed.
"Why do you 'please' if you know it's 'unkind'?" Prince Yun, a madman who protects his wife, came online in seconds.
"Pfft..." The boyfriend was so angry at others, "Tell me and listen."
"I would like to ask Princess Yunqin to pretend to be a maid and come into the palace to treat my father." Since my father is seriously ill, the boss and the second are keeping a close eye on him. Knowing that he has brought a doctor into the palace, they will definitely stop him.
"If you are willing to bring an extra bodyguard, that's fine with me." Mingruo didn't care what she was doing, but if Si Haochen didn't follow, she would definitely not be allowed to go.
Feng Muling quickly realized what Mingruo meant and quickly replied: "Of course."
The three of them walked out of the post house together. Ming Ruo and Si Haochen's appearance was too outstanding. They didn't look the same even if they put on the clothes of maids and guards. Chu Qi dressed them up again, and they successfully entered with Feng Mu Ling.
palace.
When they arrived at Emperor Sheng's palace, the doors and windows were closed, and the strong smell of medicine hit his face. Mingruo asked Feng Muling to open the outside window a little to let the air circulate first.
Emperor Sheng was lying on the bed in a daze, with a sallow complexion. Mingruo stepped forward to check his pulse, activated the medical system and gave him a full body examination.
