Chapter 980: Pretending to be sick to avoid disaster
Ripple is not really Cuizhu, she plays a big girl or she is handy, so the subordinates arranged by the Meng family for her are just subordinates, just take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all the decisions are made by herself.
Of course, in order not to leave any hidden dangers, the subordinates of the Meng family to Ripples were all bought separately, under the pretext that Ripples was kind-hearted, and the subordinates who served around her were all at the border, if they went to the imperial city with her, they probably wouldn't be able to come back in this life, so in order to avoid the separation of relatives, so there was no old man to serve.
Only Ripple's nurse Wu Yao followed him to the Imperial City, and Wu Yao's follow-up was also to cover Ripple, which was an alternative kind of surveillance, in case Ripple didn't know the severity of the incident to the Meng family.
At this time, Granny Yao frowned, was standing beside Ripples, and asked softly:
"Miss, why are you sick at this time?"
Apparently she knew that Ripple wasn't sick at all.
"Mama, do you think she can afford to travel like this according to your young lady's body?"
Ripple naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, but just asked the other party rhetorically.
After hearing this, Granny Yao sighed and said:
"Miss's body is weak, and she can't withstand the long journey."
"That's right, the emperor gave the Meng family a marriage, and he didn't have any good intentions, if I went all the way to the imperial city in good health, what would the emperor think? Won't others doubt it? How many families in the imperial city would hope that Miss Ben would marry into the prince's East Palace? ”
Ripple asked lightly.
After listening to the ripples' series of questions, Mama Yao seemed to react, and a layer of white sweat immediately appeared on her back, and she lowered her head and said:
"Miss's lesson is that it is the old slave who wants to go wrong, Miss is not in good health and must not be in a hurry, you were afraid that the old lady would be worried, so you held on, and the second young master was separated two days ago, and it was a little unbearable."
After listening to Grandma Yao's words, Ripple nodded with satisfaction, worthy of being an old man in the General's Mansion, and he can be regarded as a little knowledgeable, and he will understand after a little bit of her click.
"You go and boil the medicine that Miss Ben often drinks, boil it for a while, let the people who greet you smell it, and then go and stuff a purse for Gonggong Cao, so that he can bear more, and there is also Commander Sun who escorts us, how can you say that you don't need me to teach you, right?"
"Yes, miss, the old slave understands, let's do it! I'll call Doctor Chen to come over and take Miss's pulse. ”
"Well, can this Chen Yinu be trusted?"
"Trustworthy, it's the medical girl who treated the young lady before, she wanted to leave the border pass and travel around, Madame personally talked to the doctor Chen, and when we arrived in the imperial city, she would find an excuse to leave."
"Then let her take my pulse!"
"Yes, Miss!"
A moment after Mama Yao left the tent, a handsome and capable woman entered the tent accompanied by the big girl Lanzhi.
"Doctor Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Ripple covered her lips with a handkerchief and whispered.
"It's my job."
Doctor Chen looked at the pale ripples on her face, so she took out the pulse pillow from the small box she was carrying, put it next to the bed and made a gesture of please.
Ripple stretched out his arm and asked the other party to check his pulse.
At the beginning, Doctor Chen didn't have any expression, but unfortunately as time went by, her expression became a little serious, and she even asked Ripple to change her pulse with another hand.
Ripple did so, and when the other party was puzzled, he coughed lightly twice and said:
"Doctor Chen, my body has not been well in the past two days, my body is weak, and it is inconvenient to hurry, it is best to recuperate here for two days before leaving, otherwise it is easy to aggravate the condition."
"Miss, because she was in a hurry for days, pulled out the old disease, it is best to raise it for a while, but it is inconvenient to be outside now, but it is safest to stay for two days."
Chen Yinu immediately said, after all, everyone has made it clear, if she doesn't understand, she is really a fool.
In less than a stick of incense, the news reached the ears of Gonggong Cao and Commander Sun, both of whom received the benefits sent by Mama Yao, so they were naturally in favor of staying in place for two days.
Gonggong Cao wants to bring the living Meng Lianyi back to the imperial city, if Miss Meng's old illness relapsed and disappeared in a hurry, he would definitely not be good at both ends, so Chen Yinu said that he would raise it for two days, and he did not object.
Fortunately, he had foresight, considering Miss Meng's physical factors on the return trip, as well as the dowry team accompanying the team, if there was an emergency on the road, it would definitely delay time, so he had tried his best to save time on the way here.
There are only three days for Miss Meng to go out, and there is an escort from the Meng family's army, and she has already walked a third of the way back, so it is not in the way to delay for two days now, and she will sell it to the crown princess and still have income, so when Mama Yao came to her, he readily agreed.
As for Commander Sun, he is to protect the safety of the family sending team, under the premise that there is no foreign enemy, it doesn't matter how Miss Meng rests, Gonggong Cao will definitely grasp the time.
The last group of people chose to rest at the post station for two days, of course, only Meng Lianyi, the crown princess, and Grandpa Cao, and Sun Commander could live in, and the rest of the people were camped around the post station.
In the evening, the ripples released the flowers, this plane has aura, but it is also very thin, and this plane believes in Buddhism, Taoist cultivation is not prosperous here, at most it is to look at feng shui, fortune telling, except for ghosts or something.
After the flowers came out, they immediately shook the flower plate and said:
"Master, why didn't you get the task of cultivating the true plane, the aura here is too thin, you can't even draw qi into the body."
"It's okay, I can protect myself, this mission is mainly to fight for my eyes, just have enough brains."
"Then what did the master do when I asked me to come out?"
"Someone wants to plot against your master, you go over and say hello first, don't kill people, just faint, let me enter the imperial city smoothly."
Ripple said calmly.
"Okay, no problem."
Blossom shook the flower plate and went into the grove behind the inn.
At this time, on the way for the welcoming procession to enter Jiannan City, there was a team of thirty people hidden in the forest.
These people were all strong men, dressed in short clothes, with patches on their clothes, straw sandals on their feet, and their exposed feet were also black, and they looked like poor people.
"Boss, why hasn't the rich man you mentioned come yet?"
"I don't know, I asked Yang Wu to investigate, it is estimated that there are many people and a lot of things to bring, so go slowly, you tell everyone not to relax."
"Got it, Boss! After doing this, we really don't have to go hungry anymore? ”
The visitor asked in a low voice.
"It's true, this team of relatives is a wealthy family at the border, and they have married their daughters into the imperial city, and there will definitely be no less dowry, we just need to seize this opportunity."
The man in the lead affirmed.
And not far from these people, there is also a team of ten people in black, they are all hiding on the branches, paying attention to the movements of this group of people, they are the secret guards trained by the second prince, and they received the order to disperse the royal team and not hurt people.
When Duoduo arrived nearby, she found that there were two waves of people ambushing here.
