Chapter 217 Leaving the Capital
Li Lanxin was already in pain in the palace, and then she was tossed out of the palace. Now she is lying in this operating room, and there is no one around her. Looking around, except for Su Ruoli, there are two other people with strange faces. woman.

All three of them covered their mouths and noses with a piece of white gauze, leaving only a pair of big bony eyes staring at her, looking a bit creepy.

Although her body was so painful that she had no strength, her mind was still clear.Seeing Su Ruoli holding a sharp knife in her hand, gesturing back and forth on her stomach, and saying that she wanted to cut a few times, her heart suddenly woke up. Could it be that this little bitch wants to take this opportunity to take revenge? ?

Li Lanxin struggled and stretched out her hands to protect her stomach, stared at Su Ruoli fiercely with her eyes wide open, and threatened her, "I tell you, if you dare to attack my child, the emperor will not let you go!"

Her eyes were red, like a beast.

Su Ruoli pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and said nonchalantly, "It depends on what I do? If your baby is already dead in the womb, it will be dead when it is born, so the emperor will kill me if he is unreasonable." head?"

She only showed a pair of dark eyes, with a sly gleam in them, and when she said this, she just understated it, making it hard for people to understand her inner thoughts.

How could Li Lanxin remain calm after hearing this?
She immediately howled like a pig, "Come on, come on quickly. Your Majesty, save me and my child..."

"Noisy!" Su Ruoli tapped her belly with the handle of the knife, and the cold touch made Li Lanxin scream wildly again.

The people outside didn't know whether they heard it or not, anyway, no one broke in.Li Lanxin yelled for a while, but it had no effect. Her eyes widened in horror, and she stared at the tightly closed door in disbelief.

Su Ruoli had had enough of playing cat and mouse, seeing Li Lanxin lying there gasping for breath in fright, her face was pale, if it wasn't for her eyes rolling from time to time, others would have thought she was a dead person.

She checked the fetal position and told the little girl beside her, "Prepare the anesthetic..."

The little girl has long been familiar with her training, so she hurriedly took a glass needle and inhaled a tube of anesthetic and came over.

Su Ruoli pouted at Li Lanxin, another little girl quickly tore off Li Lanxin's clothes, and the one named Chunhua came over with a needle and stabbed Li Lanxin.

When Li Lanxin saw the shiny needle, she stabbed herself, and she yelled, "Killer!" and passed out.

Su Ruoli sneered, "She's the daughter of a military commander's family, so careless!"

Seeing that she had passed out, Su Ruoli originally wanted to make her suffer a bit, instead of giving her anesthesia, and let her die of pain when the operation was performed later.

But she also thought that if this was the case, she would scream like ghosts and wolves, and it would be difficult for her to escape if the emperor outside was alarmed.

After thinking about it again and again, she still ordered Chunhua to give her anesthesia.

After a stick of incense, the effect of the anesthetic has already been produced.

Su Ruoli began to move the knife.

She has done it for the queen before, and she is more skilled this time.

An hour later, a healthy baby boy was taken out of Li Lanxin's stomach.The loud crying made the emperor who was waiting outside immediately overjoyed, but without Su Ruoli, he couldn't go in either.

After cleaning up the filth on the baby boy and wrapping it up, Su Ruoli gave some instructions to the two little girls.

Two people were busy, one was hugging the prince, the other carefully opened the door and came to the door.

The emperor was waiting impatiently, and when he saw this, he hurried forward to pick up the child.

Chunhua took the opportunity to reply, "Your Majesty, Dr. Su has been tired for a long time, and now he is exhausted, and wants to find a place to rest."

"What? Is Li'er not well?" The emperor was anxious to go in, but Chunhua hurriedly stopped her, "The delivery room is filthy, the emperor should not go in."

Quickly stuffing the child into his hands, the two maids saluted him, "Let's go and help Dr. Su out to rest."

Not long after, the two of them supported Su Ruoli, who hadn't taken off her white coat and mask, to come out, and saw that she was dripping with sweat on her forehead, looking weak.

Seeing the emperor, she replied out of breath and weakly, "Your Majesty, there is nothing serious about Concubine Lan, just let the two stable women go in to serve her. I am tired and want to have a good sleep!"

"I'm going to send you there right now?" The emperor was about to give the baby to the nurse who had been waiting for a long time, and stepped forward to help Su Ruoli.

"No need, Your Majesty, this Sanyuan Hall has specially opened a room for me, just let them help me there. Concubine Lan will wake up after a while, you still wait here to talk to Empress Lan Concubine Bar."

At least the emperor was dismissed, and Su Ruoli was helped by Chunhua's two maids to her room in the backyard. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately ordered Chunhua, "Go and invite the shopkeeper."

Not long after, Li Zhong came in in a hurry, Su Ruoli asked the two maids to watch outside, and whispered to Li Zhong in the room for a while, then saw Li Zhong's complexion changed a few times, finally he slapped his chest and lowered his head. He said in a low voice, "Since the girl begged me, I will risk my life to do it for you!"

After speaking, he hurried out again.

Not long after, the small door of the backyard opened, and a man dressed as a gray servant went out from the back door and got into a simple carriage parked there.

When the sky was bright, Concubine Lan finally woke up.

The emperor went in to have a look, and explained a few words to the waiters, then turned around and went to the backyard to watch Su Ruo leave.

When Su Ruoli came out of the operating room, he looked so weak that he couldn't help feeling sorry for him. He really wanted to hug her into the room, but in front of so many people, he really couldn't openly embrace a married woman. wife.

Guessing that she should wake up now, the emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and went to the backyard.

But when the door of the room where Su Ruoli was resting was opened, the bed was empty and there was no one there.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, could it be that Li'er has gone out?
It's just that when you go out, you always pass by the front hall, why didn't he see it?
He had a bad premonition, he just felt that this time, Li'er might never come back again.

He yelled at the guards behind him, "Come here, thoroughly investigate Sanyuantang!" Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he still wants to find her!
The guards took action one after another, and searched all the rooms, but to no avail.

How can the emperor give up?

They asked Li Zhong to be arrested, but Li Zhong was calm. He answered whatever the emperor asked. He only said that Su Ruoli asked him to prepare a carriage and park it at the back door. He did so, and Su Ruoli didn't say anything. what to do.

The emperor was angry for a while, but he couldn't find any reason from Li Zhong's mouth, and he didn't dare to make a big fuss to make it known to everyone, so he had to give up.

But secretly, he still ordered the soldiers guarding the city to check carefully.Wanting to slip away under his nose, how could he let her go so easily?

It's just that Su Ruoli has also made complete preparations. The carriage that Li Zhong arranged for her has pigments that she specially prepared on weekdays. Now she can change the skin color by just applying it on her face, and then put fake paint on her lips. Beard, wearing a white wig on his head, after a while, a young servant turned into a real old man.

She took the car when she left, but when she arrived at the bustling area, she got out of the car, and did not rush out of the city, but found an inn to stay first, and waited for four or five days until everyone thought she was When he was already out of the city, Su Ruoli left the inn and ran towards the city gate.

Human psychology is like this, the first two days are extremely anxious, and it will be fine after two days.

It was the same with the emperor that day, when he didn't find Su Ruoli, he was anxious and angry, unlucky and unable to attack.As the Ninth Five-Year Master, but being teased by a little girl like this, his self-esteem made him unbearable.

However, after searching the city for three days, he still didn't see Su Ruoli, and there was no sign of him at the gate of the city.He thought that Su Ruoli had escaped long ago due to the negligence of the subordinates, so he sent a large number of people out of the city to chase after him.

He thought that if Su Ruoli went out of the city, he would definitely go to look for Gu Zhang, and the people he sent had been chasing Gu Zhang along the way to the north.

But after chasing him for more than ten days, he didn't see a single suspicious person, so the emperor was finally depressed.If you continue to chase, you will really catch up to the back of Gu Zhang's team.If he knew that while he was defending his home and country with his head up, his wife was put under house arrest by the emperor, what man could bear such a result?

The [-] army in his hands is not a vegetarian. If something goes wrong and civil strife is caused, and the barbarians take the opportunity to invade again, will he still be the emperor?

Back then, his father was forced out of the capital.

Thinking of the serious consequences, the emperor flinched.Coupled with the queen's persuasion with reason and emotion, he did not do anything to Li Zhong after all.

The matter slowly calmed down, and no one would have thought that at the gate of the city, an old man with a hunched body, beard and hair, wearing a tattered padded jacket, and walking slowly towards the gate of the city with a stick made of a tree branch was Su. Ruoli.

The soldiers guarding the city didn't even bother to look at him. The unpleasant smell on his body made it too late for the two soldiers to cover their noses.

The two people waved their hands like chasing flies and hurriedly pushed him out of the city gate.

When Su Ruoli walked out of the city gate, she felt that the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Although I have prepared several sets of countermeasures for fleeing, I am still uneasy.She was worried that the emperor would take Li Zhong under the knife, or find trouble with Gu Mo, but after inquiring in the city for a few days, Li Zhong and Gu Mo were both safe, so she was relieved.

Knowing that it was the empress who was behind her back, she kept her word.

After leaving the city gate, she was still walking slowly, at such a speed that she couldn't move a step for a long time. A group of cavalry came in front of her, and the dust almost swept him away.

But she was still not in a hurry, she knew that these people might be the ones sent by the emperor to look for him, she must not show her feet at this time and let her success fall by the wayside.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, she stopped and walked, eating some dry food and drinking some water from time to time, and finally walked to a town outside the city at dusk.

She has been to this place in a carriage before, and she is not too unfamiliar with it.

In a secluded place in the town, she took off her rotten padded jacket, pulled off the fake beard on her mouth and the wig on her head, and became a shrewd servant again.

I took out a small silver coin and asked for an upper room in the inn in the town. After washing comfortably at night, I fell asleep and slept until dawn.

It was the first time in these days that she slept so soundly.

On the second day, after eating and drinking enough, I hired a carriage and went straight down to the north.

It has been more than a month since Gu Zhang left the capital, and now he is about to arrive in Mobei.

When Su Ruoli rushed over, he probably set up camp too.

Before the two parted in Beijing, Su Ruoli had agreed with Gu Zhang on a secret sign, and there would be signs along the way that only the two of them could understand.

Su Ruoli can find it as long as he keeps following the sign. What's more, in Gu Zhang's hometown, there is Sanyuantang's old business in Qingquan Town. There are a few familiar friends left there. After delivering the letter, Gu Zhang asked his entourage, Chen Niu'er, to wait there. When the time comes, the group of people will pack the medicinal materials and pretend to be drug dealers.

Because there was a war in Mobei, many businessmen seized the opportunity and sold medicinal materials from the south to the northwest.

Su Ruoli walked for three days and arrived at Sanyuan Hall.

A group of people took a cart of medicinal materials and headed north in a light and simple manner.
