Chapter 13: Robbery
Lu Zhiqing was extremely uncomfortable being tossed by allergies every day, so naturally she had no chance and mood to find trouble with Lu Zhiyao. Because the doctor specially instructed her not to go out, so as not to blow the pollen outside on her body again and make her condition worse. But Lu Zhiqing couldn't understand that there were no flowers planted near her residence at all, so couldn't she go out to take a breath? The discomfort and the pain of not being able to leave the house made Lu Zhiqing scold the incapable Lang Zhong every day, which also made Ye Lianrong very helpless.
"When will this man be a head when he is not a ghost or a ghost!" Lu Zhiqing sat in front of the dresser, looked at the miserable face in the mirror, and lost her temper again. All the things on the table were thrown to the ground by her, Lu Zhiqing stood up and looked at Ye Lianrong in the room, and cried: "Mother, you can help me think of a way!" ”
"What's the fuss? You are your mother and I are the imperial doctor in the palace, can I take care of any disease? Compared with Lu Zhiqing's irritability, Ye Lianrong is much calmer. She sat at the table, frowned slightly at Lu Zhiqing, and said, "You all brought it on yourself, and no one else is to blame for this." ”
"Imperial Doctor?" As soon as Lu Zhiqing heard Ye Lianrong say the word imperial doctor, an idea suddenly popped up in her heart. strode to Ye Lianrong's side, and before Lu Zhiqing could say anything, he was pushed away by Ye Lianrong's disgust. "Mother, otherwise you will ask my father to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to come and take a look at me?"
"Whimsical, who do you think you are? The imperial doctors in the palace are all prepared for the emperor and the harem mother, you dare to use the imperial doctor if you have a small pollen allergy, and you are not afraid of being laughed at! Ye Lianrong had no choice but to reprimand Lu Zhiqing. Don't mention this matter again, if your father knows about it, I'm sure I'm going to be angry! ”
"If you don't mention it, don't mention it......" Lu Zhiqing sighed in frustration, after being trained by Ye Lianrong like this, she couldn't spread the fire, so she could only find the maid uncomfortable. Lu Zhiqing looked at Yuechan who was standing beside Ye Lianrong, and said coldly, "What are you standing here?" Get out of here! ”
"Yuechan." Ye Lianrong watched Yuechan walk to the door of the room and stopped her. "You go out of the house and help me get some things and come back."
Yuechan listened to Ye Lianrong's instructions and walked out of the room. But after walking a few steps, he ran into Lu Zhiyao, who was oncoming.
"What are you doing here?" Yuechan raised her chin and asked unceremoniously.
"My father asked me to come, if you don't want to see it, you can go to him." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, and blocked Yuechan's mouth with just one sentence. Walking straight to the door, Lu Zhiyao knocked on the latch. Walking into the room, looking at Lu Zhiqing and Ye Lianrong's surprised eyes, Lu Zhiyao said softly: "It seems that my sister's illness shows no signs of getting better at all." ”
"You're laughing at me?!" Lu Zhiqing stood up emotionally and scolded: "Get out of the way, don't let me see you!" ”
"I've heard that if you're in a bad mood, it can also have an impact on your condition." Lu Zhiyao was not annoyed or angry, looked at Ye Lianrong sideways, and said, "Erniang, my father asked me to take care of my sister." ”
"Your dad asked you to come?" Ye Lianrong was skeptical of Lu Zhiyao's words.
"That's right." Lu Zhiyao nodded, you want to know that she wanted to come to Lu Zhiqing, but it took a lot of words to say that Lu Yuanzheng was moved. "And I have good news for you."
"Joke, what good news can you have."
Lu Zhiqing sneered and was about to taunt Lu Zhiyao, but heard Lu Zhiyao say word by word: "My sister may become the crown princess and become the future queen, I wonder if this is good news?" ”
"What did you say?" Ye Lianrong was stunned, "I made it clear!" ”
"The emperor wants to choose a princess for the crown prince, and the seventh prince proposed that he wanted his sister to enter the palace." Lu Zhiyao said, cautiously looked back at the direction outside the door, and then took a step forward, approached Ye Lianrong and whispered: "As for whether my sister can get her wish and be elected as the crown princess, it depends on my sister and Erniang." Seven days after entering the palace, if my sister has been like this, I think there is no hope. ”
How could the master let this wild girl tell them about such an important matter? Ye Lianrong couldn't understand that although the lord had not slept well and been upset by the affairs of the court in the past few days, he should not be confused to this point. But this kind of thing, if it weren't true, presumably Lu Zhiyao wouldn't have the courage to tell this lie......
Lu Zhiyao glanced at the clothes on Lu Zhiqing's body, and pulled the corners of his mouth without leaving a trace. She was still wearing her own washed clothes, and if she kept doing so, even if she took medicine, what would she do?
"Erniang, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yuechan is out of the city, just right, you go out of the house to the Jingren Pharmacy in the city and get Qing'er's medicine back." Ye Lianrong sent Lu Zhiyao away, and after Lu Zhiyao left, Ye Lianrong turned her head to look at Lu Zhiqing, who was also confused, and said in a low voice: "Princess? ”
"Mother, she can't lie to us, right?" Lu Zhiqing's mood was a little complicated, the name of the crown princess was good, but Lu Zhiyao just said that it was the Seventh Prince who proposed to let her enter the palace, and she ......
"She wouldn't dare to give her ten dares for this kind of thing, but how could your father let her take care of you?"
"That's it! How can she take care of me, she doesn't want to kill me, I'm thankful! Lu Zhiqing pursed her lips, not believing that Lu Zhiyao would have the heart to serve herself. And in fact, it is exactly like this, Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to ask Ying to find Lu Yuanzheng, and wanted to go to the side of the two mothers and daughters, which did have other purposes.
This is the first time since Lu Zhiyao arrived in the Prime Minister's Mansion that he has left the mansion. Walking on the lively street, Lu Zhiyao controlled his emotions and walked towards Jingren Pharmacy.
Lu Zhiyao walked all the way, and she had to stop until she was blocked by a large number of people bustling in front of her.
In the country of Chalai, the slave trade was almost everywhere. Many poor families in the countryside will want to sell their daughters to big families to be maids, but not every girl can sell them for a good price. So those traffickers often pick some good looks and sell them to brothels, or, in the current way, sell them on the street. As long as the bidder is high, no matter who it is, you can take people away.
Lu Zhiyao just took a casual look, wanting to see what kind of person was selling now, which was enough for so many people to watch. However, when she saw the woman kneeling in the middle of the crowd, with a panicked look on her face and tears on her face, Lu Zhiyao only felt that her brain was buzzing, and then it became blank.
Xia Han...... It was her sister Xia Han!!
Lu Zhiyao, who had always thought that the entire Xia family had died tragically, finally couldn't control himself after seeing such a scene, and rushed into the crowd in a frenzy, kneeling beside Xia Han and hugging her in the surprised eyes of everyone.
Xia Han was also taken aback by her sudden move, and after seeing that she was a woman, Xia Han let out a whimpering sound, wanting to beg her to save herself.
"What are you doing? If you want to buy someone, take out the silver! The traffickers reacted after being stunned. After glancing up and down at Lu Zhiyao's not high-end clothes, the man scolded viciously: "Look at this poor and sour appearance, hurry up and get away, don't delay our business!" ”
"Xiaohan, don't be afraid, my sister will take you home!" Lu Zhiyao hurriedly untied the foreign object on Xia Han's mouth, and then was pulled aside by the burly trafficker.
"Let go of me!" Lu Zhiyao shook off the man's hand vigorously, and asked in a trembling voice, "How much?" How much do you want! I buy! I can't buy it! ”
"It's a madman, isn't it?" The man jokingly looked back at his accomplices, according to common sense, it is only men who buy beautiful girls, even if they are women, they should be the old bustards of the brothel, but this one in front of her, dressed as a maid, what is she making a lot of?
"What do you buy her for? Uncle, I gave two hundred taels of silver, can you have more than me? A man dressed in purple on the side was staring at Lu Zhiyao's face with an obscene gaze while fanning the fan in his hand. Otherwise, how about the uncle who bought you for two hundred taels? ”
The man's words made the onlookers laugh, but they couldn't stop Lu Zhiyao from wanting to save his sister's heart. "I'll give three hundred taels!"
After speaking, Lu Zhiyao turned around and wanted to pull Xia Han's hand.
"Wait! You say three hundred taels is three hundred taels? What about the silver? Take it out and take a look! The traffickers stopped Lu Zhiyao, not believing that she really had so much money.
Lu Zhiyao bit her lower lip, she really didn't bring any silver out of her body right now. But if they can't come up with the silver, they will never let themselves take Xiaohan away, what should they do?!
Lu Zhiyao, who was a little desperate, germinated a mentality of wanting to use force, as long as he could take Xia Han away. Just when she clenched her fists and wanted to knock down the man in front of her, a lazy voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Five hundred taels, I want it."
The man's voice attracted everyone's attention, including Lu Zhiyao's, of course.
Behind the crowd, I saw a sedan chair parked there, and the man who spoke was the person in the sedan chair.
"Master?" Ling Yi opened his mouth with some surprise, "Do you really want to buy her?" ”
"The words are all spoken, how can you not buy it." Lin Yinan lowered his head and played with the wrench in his hand, and said casually: "What are you still standing for?" It's time to go home. ”
When Ling Yi heard Lin Yinan say this, he had no choice but to take out five hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and walk in front of the trafficker. Then he casually dragged Xia Han, who was still kneeling on the ground, up. He really couldn't figure out what the master was doing with so much money to buy such a maid? Even if she is the second lady of the Xia family, what can she do? Wouldn't it be more troublesome to keep such people around?
