   Chapter 223 Distress (1)

  Li Jing will stay in Qiao's mansion today, waiting for the second son of Fang to come to welcome him.

  Lu Mingyu sent a message to Li Jing, and he left the Qiao mansion and got into the carriage.

   At this time, it was almost the right time, and the sun was hot. Pregnant women are the most prone to dryness. Lu Mingyu was more afraid of heat than ordinary women. When she got into the carriage, she felt stuffy and told Qiyun to open the bamboo curtain.

  The car window is not big or small. After the bamboo curtain is drawn, the breeze blows in slowly, blowing away a bit of the dryness of early summer.

  Lu Mingyu was still a little dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "It's better to ride happily."

   The horses galloped and the wind was hunting, both chic and arbitrary. In contrast, sitting in the carriage with suffocation, unable to move, was really suffocating.

  Qiyun smiled and comforted her master: "I'm pregnant, where can I ride a horse? I can endure it for a few more months. If it's too hot, the slaves will let someone put an ice basin in the carriage when they go back."

  Lu Mingyu sighed softly: "That's the only way it can be."

   After pregnancy, be careful everywhere. Be cautious when eating imported food, especially when you go out of the house. There are all kinds of inconveniences, and only I know it.

  Lu Mingyu was able to bear it on weekdays, but occasionally he was stuffy. Fortunately, Qiyun, who is calm and careful, is always by his side to comfort him.

   The carriage traveled for a while, and just came to a slightly narrow street.

  This street is narrow, but it is not too narrow, enough for two carriages to run side by side.

   Coincidentally, as soon as we turned the corner, a few fast horses came in front.

  Lu Mingyu's ears are sensitive, and he frowned when he heard the sound of fast horses kicking.

   There are vendors on both sides of the street, as well as people passing by. Where the crowd gathers, the people on horseback actually gallop on their horses, aren't they afraid of bumping into the people?

   Before she could finish thinking, there was a sudden change in front of her, and a child's cry suddenly rang out.

   The driver of the carriage was startled, and quickly tightened the reins, and a group of accompanying guards had been alertly surrounding the carriage.

   These are the elites of the Lu residence guards, more than 20 people in total. Can withstand the charge of a hundred people. No matter how skilled an assassin is, it is impossible to break through the line of defense and rush to the carriage in a short period of time.

   The carriage that Lu Mingyu rides is also specially made. There is a layer of hard steel plate between the two layers of wood. Even if there are sharp arrows in the dark, they can't penetrate the carriage.

  Lu Mingyu will be safe as long as he stays in the carriage.

  Qiyun was quick-witted, pulled down the bamboo curtain, and the guard closed the car window tightly. All movements were kept outside the carriage. Only the shrill, almost piercing cries of the children were still in my ears.

  Lu Mingyu was a little impatient and asked loudly, "What happened outside?"

   Lu Yi's voice came into his ears: "Prince, Concubine and Empress, don't be impatient. I've already sent someone over."

   On weekdays, Lu Mingyu would have rushed over to see what happened. Now that she is pregnant, it's like she has broken hands and feet, and she can only sit in the carriage sullenly.

  Lu Mingyu sat in the carriage with a pretty face and waited.

After a while, Lu Yi opened his mouth to report: "It was a few gangsters in Beijing. The horse was too fast and kicked over a hawker's stall. Another five- or six-year-old girl was injured. The girl was injured by the horse's hoof and cried. The little ones were asked to ask for a doctor, and they were ordered to take all the gangsters and send them to the yamen later."

  Lu Yi is a well-mannered man, so there is nothing to fault with this handling.

  Lu Mingyu hummed, and put up with the phrase "I'll go out and have a look" that came to her lips.

  …

   There is no medical clinic on this street, and the nearest one is two blocks away.

The girl with the broken leg shed a puddle of blood and cried heart-to-heart. The simple and honest middle-aged man hugged the girl in his arms, crying and begging everyone on the side of the road: "Whoever of you has a flatbed truck, please do it and send it off. Let my daughter go to the hospital! If you delay any longer, the child's leg will be crippled."

  This man is not a smart person, he only shouted these two words back and forth.

   The small business vendors on the streets also have flatbed trucks. But there are piles of things on the car, and it will take some time to unload the things.

   The cry of that girl became more and more miserable.

  Lu Mingyu finally couldn't bear it anymore and called Lu Yi over: "You ordered someone to take the injured girl to the hospital on horseback."

  Lu Yi is not a hard-hearted person, but hesitant at this moment: "The girl hurts her leg, so she shouldn't move it at will. It's very inconvenient to take her to the hospital on horseback."

   There is a carriage at the moment. However, he would never let his master give up the carriage.

  Lu Mingyu also knew that it was safest to stay in the carriage. But listening to the cries of the father and daughter outside, I couldn't sit still. I opened my mouth and said, "Otherwise, I'll get off the carriage and wait for a while, and you can use the carriage to take their father and daughter to the hospital."

  Lu Yi didn't even think about it, but categorically refused: "Absolutely not!"

   Don't be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of ten thousand.

   That father and daughter are indeed pitiful. But you have to beware that this is a conspiracy set up against the second prince and concubine. Nothing is more important than the safety of the master.

  Lu Mingyu was restless, so Lu Yi opened the car window and stuck his head out to take a look.

  The man holding the girl glanced at Lu Mingyu, and kowtowed in the direction of Lu Mingyu crying: "This noble, please do your best, and save my child's life with a carriage!"

  The man kowtowed three times, and his forehead was red.

   The common people and vendors on the street also looked over.

   This line of guards is strong and brave. The carriage is large and luxurious, and the four horses pulling the carriage are very smooth and smooth. At first glance, it is a noble travel.

   The girl's body was covered in blood, her cries were getting weaker and weaker, and she was about to lose her breath.

   This noble person has already arrested those gangsters who caused trouble. Now, are you willing to be a good person to the end and lend a carriage to save the girl's life?

  Lu Mingyu took a deep breath and opened his mouth to order: "Lu Yi, open the door. Bring their father and daughter to the carriage."

  Lu Yi was startled and blurted out, "No way!"

  Lu Mingyu's eyes fell through the car window and fell on Lu Yi's face: "Do as I say."

  Lu B: "..."

   As a bodyguard, the first rule is to obey the master's instructions.

  Lu Yi had no choice but to nod his head.

   Fortunately, Lu Mingyu is not a bad guy. While saving people, he did not give up the carriage. Just let the father and daughter get on the carriage. Even if there is any accident, the master's skill is enough to deal with it.

  Lu Yi made up his mind, stepped forward quickly, and carried the girl over in person.

  The middle-aged man was so grateful that he even kowtowed, Lu Yi said lightly, "Get on the carriage quickly."

  The middle-aged man wiped his tears with his sleeves and answered with choked up.

   looks like a poor father who cares for his daughter, there is really nothing wrong with it.

  Lu Yi was still on guard, holding the girl while looking at the middle-aged man out of the corner of his eye.

The moment    opened the car door, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, with a fierce look in his eyes.
