Chapter 9: The Mysterious Mother
Mama burst into tears and held Yue Qingran's little hand, "Miss, fortunately you came back safely, otherwise, how would the old slave go to see the lady and the general under Jiuquan?" β
Yue Qingran held Mama's hand and shook her head, "Mama is serious, isn't Qingran good?" Mama will be fine soon, everything will be fine. β
"It's too late, everything is too late, now the second master is in full swing, although the young lady is married to the prince, but you and I both know that this marriage contract is like a piece of waste paper, besides, the prince intends to win over the second master, how can we have a good life in the future?"
After Mama finished speaking with difficulty, her eyes were clear, and she gradually became ruthless, as if she had made some major decision, "Miss, you listen to the old slave, the old slave is afraid that if you don't say it now, you won't have a chance to say it in the future." β
He took a heavy breath and continued: "There is a secret passage in Madame-Madame's room, the mechanism is in the blue brick in the corner of the cabinet, there are some gold, silver and jewelry in the secret passage, as well as information about Madame's mother's family, you find a chance to get something and run away with the young master, go and find the master, the master is your ancestor, and he will not ignore your ......."
Yue Qingran was a little puzzled, she had no impression of the original owner's mother's maiden family, and she had no memory of her grandfather's, her mother seemed to be very mysterious, and the only thing she knew was that her mother brought her from her mother's home.
After Mama Huang finished explaining, she fainted again, Yue Qingran stood up, "I'll go back, you leave one person here to take care of Mama, and the rest will go to eat, Ziyin and Mama should have not eaten for a long time, people are iron rice and steel, no matter what, you must solve the problem of food and clothing first." β
"Yes!"
"Sister-" Yue Hongle looked worried, "Be careful! β
"Don't worry!" Yue Qingran showed a reassuring smile.
Of course, Yue Hongle and the others couldn't see anything other than the corners of Yue Qingran's mouth, and the expressions on their faces were all covered by gauze.
β¦β¦
The majestic and towering lintel is prohibitive, the thin figure of Yue Qingran seems so small, looking up at the tall plaque, the majestic and powerful 'Ming Wangfu' three big characters stand in front of you, just like its owner.
Yue Qingran was stopped in front of the door by the guards at the door.
She had no choice but to say in a low voice, "I'm tired of the two guard brothers." β
I don't know how long it took, Steward Qiu, who received the news, came to the gate of the mansion in person, "Miss Yue? β
Yue Qingran bent slightly, "Steward Qiu!" β
"The old slave remembers that the prince confessed, I don't want to see the girl again, Miss Yue?"
Yue Qingran knew that this was a bit ignorant, and she hadn't repaid the kindness of others, so she begged to come to the door again, which really shouldn't be, but she had no other way now.
When she first arrived, there were only a handful of people she knew, and the second uncle wished that he had disappeared in front of them earlier, and he was always on guard against her at this time, and he would never help her, and her nominal fiancΓ© would not help her.
She is penniless, she doesn't even have a valuable thing on her body, her mother's situation is in danger, she can't wait for her to slowly think of a way, she can only be cheeky to ask King Ming, compared to the prince, King Ming makes her believe more, besides, she has the intention of climbing the big tree of King Ming.
Yue Qingran didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Don't hide it from Steward Qiu, the little girl who came here this time is to ask for something." β
After a pause on Steward Qiu's face when he heard this, he gradually returned to coldness and coughed lightly, "Miss Yue, don't want to get an inch, I must have heard of the prince's style of doing things, last time the prince left you alive, why don't the girl go to the prince to help?" Want to come here? β
"I know it, but I am asking to see the prince today as a junior, just to ask for some medicinal materials, which is just a gesture for the prince, besides, I am confident that the prince will nod, just to meet the prince, please ask Steward Qiu to pass it on."
As for the prince, she and her second uncle's family are on the same hill, she didn't think about it at all.
Steward Qiu thought for a while, and finally nodded under Yue Qingran's expectant eyes, "Okay, the old slave will go and spread the word, but there is no guarantee that the prince will see it or not." β
Yue Qingran nodded happily and thanked him, watched Steward Qiu leave, and waited at the door honestly.
Steward Qiu bowed his hand to the study, "Lord Wang, the general's mansion girl is here, and today she asks to see the prince in the name of the future princess of the younger generation, and wants to ask for some medicinal materials." β
Chu Junmo snorted coldly and put down the wolf pen in his hand, "It's really a brazen woman, I don't see it." β
"Yes!"
Regarding Chu Junmo's answer, Steward Qiu was not surprised at all.
Steward Qiu returned the same way and gave Yue Qingran the feedback of the answer 1510.
For this news, Yue Qingran expected it, but she still didn't give up, "Steward Qiu, just let me in, you just don't see me, life and death have nothing to do with you." β
"Miss Yue, please go back, don't embarrass the old slave."
Yue Qingran was reluctant to give up, seeing that Steward Qiu was about to enter the mansion, "Steward Qiu, human life is at stake, please, help me again." β
Seeing Steward Qiu leave without looking back, a sense of frustration arose, she really couldn't do it, so she could only go to the street to rob the medicine store, but before the officers and soldiers came to catch her, she couldn't guarantee that she could successfully save her grandmother's life in a short time.
Looking at the high courtyard wall of the Ming Palace, what is the chance of successfully climbing into it without being discovered?
It just so happened that at this time, Mu Tong came back from going out with a team of guards, and when he saw Yue Qingran at the door, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Yue girl? β
Yue Qingran's eyes lit up, "Guard Mu? β
Mu Tong waved his hand at the people behind him, motioning for them to enter the mansion.
"Why is the Moon Girl standing at the gate of the palace?"
Yue Qingran pursed her lips, thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I want to go in, but people won't let me, hey, don't talk about this, Mu Guard, I want to go and check the pulse of the prince, can you take me in?" β
Mu Tong's face showed embarrassment, "Why does Miss Yue have to ask for hardship?" It's a blessing that the prince is willing to let you go, and you will accept everything when you see it, don't get an inch. β
Yue Qingran nodded seriously, "Thank you Guard Mu for reminding me, but I have a reason why I have to come this time, I know what the consequences will be, and I can bear the consequences, and-"
She paused for a moment and continued: "Presumably, Guard Mu also wants to see the appearance of the prince's leg healing, why not try it?" You're not going to lose anything anyway, at most you're just wasting some more time on me. β
Mu Tong frowned and looked at Yue Qingran's incomparably sincere eyes, "Come in with me." β
Yue Qingran was stunned, is this okay?
Sensing that she hadn't followed, Mu Tong was a little puzzled, "What?" Don't dare? β
"How is that possible?" Yue Qingran stepped up to follow. "Just let me in, if the prince blames him, will it affect you?"
"No problem." Mu Tong said expressionlessly, as if he had nothing to do with him.
followed the familiar road in his memory to the study, and the two who thought they could meet Chu Junmo smoothly heard that someone had gone to the library pavilion.
The two of them went to the library of the palace again.
From the outside, the library is divided into two floors, no different from other ordinary buildings in the entire palace.
Let Yue Qingran wait outside, and Mu Tong walked in alone.
"Master!" Mu Tong saluted respectfully.
The man handed the letter in his hand to the guard on the side.
Zhen Qiang respectfully took it, turned the mechanism on the wall, and with a bang, a delicate carved wooden box popped out.
Put a jade plaque into the recess next to the wooden box, the jade plaque is perfectly integrated with it, the carved wooden box slowly opens, the inside is empty, Zhenqiang fingers press down along the pattern of the wooden box, the mezzanine in the wooden box opens, and there is a letter lying inside.
