Chapter 587: A Bunch of Miscellaneous Things
Yuwangfu spent a lot of money to find An An's search notices posted all over the streets and alleys of the capital, along with some counties around the capital.
Two more days have passed, and there is still no news from An An.
It has been five days since An An disappeared, and in these five days, Luo Lan's heart hurts as if it has been stripped off, but she can't fall, she doesn't dare to fall, Leng Yu's busy work at home and outside the house is already overwhelmed, if she falls again, he will not be able to hold on.
For the past five days, she forced herself to wake up every day and forced herself to sleep.
In the past few days, the people of the capital have known that something has happened to Yuwangfu, and some people have serious dysentery and have not come to bother her, probably because the dysentery poison has mutated, and the antidiarrheal drugs that Luo Lan was equipped with before are no longer working, which also causes some people to get more and more serious......
Luo Lan came to the main hall, and when he was about to sit down and drink tea, Ah Gang hurriedly came to Luo Li, and said impatiently:
"Princess, just now there was a letter from the hospital, saying that it is...... It is said that someone died because of diarrhea. ”
He's dead?
Hearing these two words, Luo Lan's heart hurt as if she had been pricked by something, she looked at Ah Gang and asked anxiously:
"What's going on? Didn't I have enough medication? How could anyone still die? ”
"I don't know, it was said that the medicine you prepared didn't work, this patient knew that something was wrong at your house, so he didn't dare to bother you, and he couldn't afford to find another Langzhong, so he ...... and died. ”
Luo Lan's heart was pinched and painful, she got up from the chair, supported her crumbling body, gritted her teeth and said:
"Check it out."
As soon as she was about to take a step, Ah Cai hurriedly ran in,
"Princess, there is an old woman outside, I have to see you and ask her what is the matter, but she refuses to say, what should I do?"
Old woman?
Luo Lan's brows twisted into a knot, since she came to her by name, there must be something important, and she has no reason not to see it.
She sat back in her chair and waved her hand:
"I'll go to the Rejuvenation Hall later, and invite her in."
"Yes."
Ah Cai answered and walked out quickly.
After a while, Ah Cai took an old woman in ragged clothes to the main hall of Yuwangfu, and when she saw Luo Lan in her deep-set eyes, she knelt directly on her knees and began to beg.
"Princess Yu, please let me go, you punish the people's women, the people's women are guilty!"
Her inexplicable words made Luo Lan look at her with doubts,
"What sin are you guilty of? Who is your son? ”
The old woman hung her head and sobbed incessantly, but remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Ah Cai took two steps forward with some impatience and asked in a loud voice:
"The princess asks you, answer quickly, we still have something to do, and we don't have time to wait for you here."
Hearing Ah Cai's roar, the old woman's body trembled, and then she knocked her head on the ground and sobbed in a low voice.
"The women of the people instigated their sons to steal herbs and cloth from the barracks......"
What?
This sentence made Luo Lan's face sink suddenly, a few days ago, Xianggong talked about the theft of the military camp, and she was so anxious to find An An these days that she didn't bother to ask about it.
The old woman in front of her took the initiative to mention this matter, could it be that this old lady is the mother of the warehouse keeper in the barracks?
Although she was in a hurry to go to the Rejuvenation Hall, she still asked suspiciously:
"If you have something to say, just say it, I still have a lot of things to do, if you continue to talk like this, I'm leaving."
As she spoke, Luo Lan was about to get up, and when the old woman saw this, she hurriedly said:
"Back to the princess's words, the son of the woman surnamed Wu, is the warehouse keeper of the military camp of the prince of Yu, in recent years, the woman has been sick, in order to treat the woman, the family has been surrounded by walls, my son in order to save me, several times stole the medicine materials of the military storehouse, and then saw that my illness has not healed, he in order to make a shroud for the woman, and stole the cloth in the army, fortunately, God mercy, the Lord of Yama does not accept my sick body, but ...... But my son's theft was discovered by the prince, and now that he has been locked up, I was going to go to the barracks to take my place, but ...... But I was afraid that I would die on the road before I could reach the barracks, so I thought of coming to you, please talk to the prince, and let me take my place! He stole it for me. ”
The old woman's intermittent words, Luo Lan seemed to understand.
But stealing the munitions depot is no trivial matter, and it is not something she should be in charge of.
So, she said with a flat face:
"The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, since your son stole the things in the barracks, he should be punished by military law, and the affairs of the barracks are not under my control, so you better go back!"
"Princess, can't you leave it alone? If you don't care, my son will be punished by military justice, how can I live? ”
"This behavior of your son is called stealing, he was reckless before stealing, if he connived at him this time, then how will the barracks be managed in the future?"
"But...... But there is a reason for his trouble, please show mercy to the princess, ask the prince to intercede, and let the women suffer on his behalf! ”
As she spoke, the old woman kept kowtowing on the ground, and Luo Lan's face became more and more ugly.
She is not an old woman in front of her, she doesn't want to help her, she really can't interfere in the affairs of the barracks, as Princess Yu, she knows better than anyone that once a woman stretches her hand too long, she will only mess things up more and more in the end.
Thinking of the patient who was waiting for her in the Rejuvenation Hall, and thinking of An An, who had not yet been found, she felt that she was weak, so that the old woman in front of her would not disturb her tranquility, she could only wave her hand perfunctorily,
"You go back first, I'll find a chance to talk to the prince about this matter."
Seeing that she finally answered, the old woman hurriedly continued to kowtow,
"Thank you Princess Yu, thank you Princess Yu, your great kindness, the people's women will never forget."
Luo Lan got up and said to the old woman who was kneeling on the ground:
"You go back first, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." ’
Leaving these words, she took a big step and walked towards the main gate of the palace with a heavy heart.
In the past few days when An An was lost, Leng Yu was absent-minded in his work, and repeatedly made big mistakes when dealing with the twists and turns of the ministers of the DPRK and China, which also caused some of the ministers of the DPRK and China to go directly to the emperor to complain, of course, these people are only like this under Leng Xi's instructions.
It was rare that the emperor did not condemn him this time, but expressed his understanding of his feelings, and he immediately ordered to post the emperor's list and offer a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to find Leng Anping, the second lady lost in Yuwangfu.
In order to get the reward, the people of the whole city waited for the opportunity to move, wanting to take this opportunity to get rich overnight, but even so, An An disappeared for seven days, and there was still no news.
An An had been asleep in that secluded room for seven days, and Leng Xi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a frown.
During these seven days, this is what he does most often, and he likes to look at this familiar face and recall the bits and pieces between him and Long Xiaomin.
He knew he shouldn't do it, the girl in front of him was his niece, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
Lang Zhong saw it just now, saying that her injuries were almost better, and it was estimated that she would wake up in the next two days, in order to prevent this little girl from recognizing him when she woke up, Leng Xi had been wearing a slightly mysterious veil.
In the past few days, Leng Yu has often made mistakes in dealing with the government, and he feels that his decision to put An An here is not wrong, even if An An wakes up, he does not plan to send her back, at least let her live here for a while in the name of recuperating from her injuries, and it will also mess up the formation of Yu Wangfu, but he confirmed that from beginning to end, he never wanted to harm her in the slightest.
"Who are you?"
Just as he was planning this in his mind, a faint voice like a mosquito sounded in his ears.
He hurriedly touched his veil, and when he was sure that the veil was hanging on his face intact, he turned his head to look at An An......
