Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 82 The Crab Walks Sideways

The night was dark and foggy, and Wei Lingxiao, who was trapped in the darkness on the swaying carriage, closed his eyes lightly.

"My lord." I only felt the carriage move slightly, and Chao was already on top of the carriage.

"kindness."

"The female officer and the golden retriever are dead."

In the darkness, Wei Lingxiao slowly opened a pair of black eyes that accommodate everything in the world. "Even if you don't die, you will definitely not survive tonight."

"It's just that I don't know why the emperor would act on someone who is an expert." It's definitely not easy to be a female official in the palace. This female official is the youngest sister of the former imperial merchant who is now a professional.

"Experts have become more and more dishonest in the past few years. If they don't teach them a lesson, they think that they will be safe when they find that person, but they don't know that they have committed a big taboo."

"So the emperor brought up the Ning family, but the current strength of the Ning family can't compete with the experts at all." This is also what he couldn't figure out. There are so many merchant families in the imperial city, but the emperor just let the Ning family in Shancheng. Come to fill this void.

"The Ning family has no one to rely on, and is the easiest to control."

Huangshang Huangshang naturally wants to be loyal to the emperor. Experts were originally just top-notch merchants in the imperial city. After Emperor Zhaowu succeeded to the throne, he appointed experts as imperial merchants. After all these years, experts think that their wings are hard , I want to fly by myself.How could Emperor Zhaowu fulfill their wish and only break their wings when they were about to fly!
The experts who were present when the female officer was arrested didn't even dare to intercede. This is already a sign of guilt. They know how wrong they are. If they really angered the emperor, the consequence would be to lose a daughter and the title of imperial merchant. So easy.

At this time, the residence at the head of the rich merchant's residential street in the imperial city was completely silent.

Master Xing and Mrs. Xing who went to see the palace banquet today were pale-faced and were helped out of the carriage by the servants.

Mrs. Xing glanced at the two stone lions standing outside the gate of the Xingfu and felt her heart tremble. The stone lions full of fangs reminded her of the sister-in-law who was dragged down and executed!
Xing Lao Dang had a total of five sons, and now in the imperial city, besides Xing Man Tian, ​​only the younger sister who is a female official in the palace is left.

Mrs. Xing staggered and sat down on the mahogany chair in the main room, looking at the gloomy Master Xing with a look of fear. "My lord, what should I do? Did the emperor discover something..."

Master Xing is also in his fifties now, and his brows are already stained with gray. Hearing Mrs. Xing's words, his restless pace stopped abruptly. "What do you know as a woman, it's getting late, go back and rest quickly."

"How can I rest at this time? It seems that Xiao Jinling is causing trouble for the Ning family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the emperor who wants to attack us! I said at the beginning that we were single-handedly promoted by the emperor." came up..."

"Okay, Zhiyuan is still by the second prince's side, he will come back and let us know if there is anything." Hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Master Xing waved his hand tiredly, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

That night, the Xingfu was shrouded in a heavy haze.

After half a month.

As summer draws to a close, the early morning wind is mixed with a little coolness.

It has been half a month since I came to the imperial city, and Ning Erlan did not go anywhere as the old lady said that night, and just stayed in this temporary Ning mansion honestly.

She woke up early today, and what happened half a month ago made her more deeply aware of her own insignificance under the imperial power.If you just stay in the house obediently without doing anything, what awaits you will only be the fate of being manipulated.

Although she didn't go out of the yard very much these days, she also heard that the old lady took Ning Qingyan and Ning Shuangyu out to attend a few gatherings in the noble circle under the guise of making Miss Ningfu make more friends.

The old lady also came to call her several times, but she made excuses because she was unwell.

"Miss, the old lady is taking the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss to swim in the lake again." Looking at Ning Erlan who was sitting in front of the dressing table, Xinchen opened the curtain and walked in, murmuring in dissatisfaction.

"What? You want to go with me?" Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Miss, how can you say that you are the serious daughter-in-law of the Ning Mansion? Why is the old lady taking two concubines out for a walk? Isn't this... ah..." Before Xinchen could finish speaking, Xinyue walked in behind her. He reached out and patted her forehead.

"What nonsense, the master does things for us to criticize? Next time, let the lady slap you." Xinyue glared at Xinchen, really wronged, but she didn't say anything.

"Why didn't I know that our Xinyue is becoming more and more like a big sister." Looking at Xinyue who has become more and more mature, Ning Erlan is also happy in her heart.

Turning her gaze to Ning Erlan, Xinyue sighed inwardly. "Miss, it's not a problem for you to hide like this. These things will fall on your head sooner or later. After the eldest lady and the second lady are matched..." Xinyue glanced at Ning Erlan After seeing that she didn't have the shyness of a woman in a boudoir, she continued: "Miss can still fight for it now, but if the old lady and the master talk about it, it will not be so easy for the lady to make up her own mind."

Ning Erlan was silent, she had not thought about what Xinyue said, after all, she was going to marry after all.Rather than letting the old lady and Ning Guoan match her up with one at will, she might as well find one that is worth training herself.

"I remember this, no matter what, the lady will not treat you badly. It has been so long since I have been in the imperial city, let's go out for a stroll today." Compared with Shancheng, the imperial city is more open No matter whether it is an ordinary woman or an official woman, as long as she is accompanied by a servant, she can go out on the street, even if she does not wear a veil, she will not be criticized.

Ning Erlan looked down at the two steamed buns that had begun to develop on her chest, and decided to wrong them. It is more convenient to travel in men's clothes than in women's clothes.

After changing clothes, he left the mansion through the side door.Ning Erlan walked on the road paved with bluestones, feeling a burst of joy for no reason.

I feel that there is a still immature figure behind me and I don't mind.

"Miss..." Xinyue looked at Ning Erlan who was walking ahead gracefully and freely, and shouted out of words.

"En?" Ning Erlan squinted.

"Uh, it's the young master, where are we going?" Xinyue looked at the dazzling array of goods on the street, and she was a little dazed for a while, but she still knew her duty, and she was only one step away from her young lady.

"I don't have any place I want to go, I just want to walk around the street." Ning Erlan twirled the eight-legged folding fan on her jade finger, and said with a suave face.

Walking slowly all the way, the two had reached the most prosperous street in the imperial city.The streets here are more than twice as wide as those in Shancheng, and the shops on both sides of the streets are also hung with various goods, which makes people dazzled.

"My lord, I didn't expect Xiran to be good at kung fu, and I didn't lose it." Xinyue turned her head and looked at Xiran who was following behind the two of them. Ever since the lady rescued him, he had been guarding the gate of the lady's courtyard day and night. Often it was the young lady who came to tell him to go back to his room to sleep.Really try my best!

"Hey, this child, if he can't eat well or sleep well, he's not afraid that it will affect his physical development."

"Drive, drive... Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Ning Erlan saw that the material in her hand was not expensive, but the fine workmanship of the little hairpin was just about to pay for it when she heard a commotion not far ahead.

Looking up, I saw a gorgeously decorated carriage rushing forward on the street, knocking down many pedestrians along the way.

Ning Erlan frowned, wondering who dared to walk sideways at the emperor's feet.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Wow……"

"what……"

Shouts of fear echoed around, and pedestrians ran around to dodge.At this time, a pregnant woman who was knocked down by a dodger and fell to the ground opened her eyes in horror as she looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer to her.

Ning Erlan panicked, dropped the little hairpin in her hand, stepped forward to hug the pregnant woman, and rolled aside to protect her belly in her panic.

But the carriage still didn't intend to stop. At this moment, a dark red figure flashed out very quickly. He precisely held the rein in his hand and pulled it backwards, kicking the driver on the carriage. to the ground.

The horse was in pain from the whip, but now it was pulled back hastily, and the whole body of the horse was raised high.The dark red figure punched somewhere in the horse's neck. After the horse let out a long howl, its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the carriage behind it was almost thrown over.

"Ah..." A woman's exclamation came from the carriage, and before the sound dissipated, a goose-yellow figure flew out of the carriage and fell straight to the ground.

The people who came back to their senses in panic saw clearly that the person sitting in the carriage was a beautiful little girl.

"Who dares to stop Bengong's carriage? Does he want to die?" The woman in yellow stood up enduring the pain in her body and looked at the surrounding crowd angrily.

The dark red figure cast a disdainful glance at the woman in yellow, and said indifferently, "So what?"

Only then did the woman in yellow turn her head to look at the man. When she saw the man's face, her originally angry little face became even more gloomy. "I thought who it was, it turned out that it was just an abandoned waste, and you can stop Ben Gong's carriage? Today I have to let you know the fate of provoking Ben Gong!"

After the woman finished speaking, she turned back to the carriage and pulled out a sharp sword, and let the man greet him without saying a word.

The man was not irritated by the woman's words, and when the woman attacked, he just moved lightly to avoid the seemingly messy but sinister move.

After several rounds, the woman didn't even touch the hem of the man's clothes.The man seemed to be entangled with the woman unintentionally, and clamped two fingers in his hand, clamping the sword in the woman's hand so that she could not move.

Embarrassment flashed across the woman's face, and she wanted to pull out the sword, but found that the sword could not move in the man's hand.

The man exerted a little force on his wrist, only to hear a "bang", and the sword that was shining with silver light was split into pieces.
