Chapter 52 Is it a Prison Break?
"It's said that the Sang family's current decline is all due to that beastly Wei. Old Master Sang was such a good man. Which of us common people hasn't received his kindness?"
"Farmers have a hard time farming. Not only do they have to pay taxes, but they also can't sell their grain for much. Other grain stores try their best to exploit us common people. Only the Sang family's grain store not only gives the most reasonable prices, but also increases the price if the weight is insufficient. They never lower the price."
"Tell me, how many kind-hearted people like Mr. Sang can you find in the world?"
The vendors around agreed and sighed, cursing Wei Xun on behalf of the Sang family.
Only Lu Wanning looked back at the direction the yamen runners left. After a moment of contemplation, she turned back and said to Hu Yan, "Let's go to the west of the city."
Seeing the direction she turned, Hu Yan didn't say a word and followed her to the west of the city.
Just as she thought, when they arrived at the west of the city, He Maosheng was not there. Only the servants left by Qi Muchao and Sang Zhiyu were left in the yard.
The child was very innocent, and perhaps because he was still young, he didn't look too sad.
He was drinking a bowl of mung bean soup with relish.
When Lu Wanning knocked on the door, he thought it was He Maosheng who came back. He ran over excitedly to open the door, but when he saw that it was someone he didn't know, some vigilance appeared in the little guy's eyes and he took two steps back.
It was not until the old servant said that this was the owner of the house that he finally let down his guard.
Lu Wanning couldn't help but smile. She actually saw some shadows of Sang Mingyue in his little face. She couldn't help but say, "The last time I saw you, I always thought you and Sang Mingyue didn't look alike. But now, it seems like you were cast from the same mold."
Sang Zhiyu's eyes lit up. She handed the mung bean soup to the old servant beside her and excitedly tugged at Lu Wanning's sleeve, "Do you know my sister?"
"certainly."
Tears welled up in her eyes. The little girl could no longer pretend to be strong. She asked Lu Wanning in a tearful voice, "Will my sister come back?"
Lu Wanning bent down and squatted beside him, touched his little head, and said softly, "Yes."
The child was indeed easy to coax. After Lu Wanning coaxed him for a while, he fell asleep crying. The servant carried him to the bed, and Lu Wanning chatted with the old servant in the yard.
"When did He Maosheng go out?"
"He left last night. Before he left, he told me that if he didn't come back, he should give the small wooden box he left in his room to the Crown Prince's Consort and ask her to help him take care of Sang Zhiyu."
Lu Wanning took a deep breath and said, "It's true that he's stupid."
She was a little annoyed. Couldn't this guy be a little smarter?
I told you to act according to the circumstances and not to be impatient. You've just recovered from your injuries, and now you're going to fight with others again. Don't wait until Sang Mingyue is not saved and comes back with injuries.
After instructing the old servant not to let He Maosheng out again if he came back, Lu Wanning hurried back to Prince Qi's Mansion.
As soon as I got back, I called Changqing.
Qi Muchao kept Changqing to help her, so Lu Wanning naturally had no need to be polite.
He asked very frankly, "Have you heard about what happened in the Sang Mansion?"
Chang Qing nodded and said, "Princess, I have heard something about this."
"I just came back from the street. I heard that the yamen runners discovered Sang Mingyue's whereabouts and have gone to arrest her. Can you help me find out if the yamen runners have caught her?"
Chang Qing obeyed her request and agreed immediately, "I'll go right away."
As soon as he left, Lu Wanning immediately took out her small medicine box and began to organize the various medicinal powders inside.
Hu Yan, who was now very comfortable with her, asked, "What is the Crown Princess going to do?"
"Prepare ahead." Lu Wanning grinned as she pulled out a packet of powder wrapped in pink paper. "This is the drug I carefully developed. Just a fingernail's worth of it is enough to knock out a cow. This packet alone is enough to easily knock out all the jail bosses."
The corners of Hu Yan's lips seemed to twitch twice.
He pointed at the white medicine bag and asked, "What does this medicine do?"
"It's not very useful. It's just a prank that makes people itch and laugh uncontrollably."
She pointed to the blue again, "What about this one?"
"This," Lu Wanning's eyes sparkled. "I haven't used it yet, but I developed it based on a recipe in an ancient medical book. It's said to make people as obedient as puppets, doing whatever the person who drugged them tells them to do."
Hu Yan opened her mouth and imagined in her mind the scene of the Crown Prince's wife giving the medicine to the Crown Prince.
Lu Wanning didn't notice that the girl's mind was so distracted, and she was still excitedly introducing the other medicinal properties to her.
Aside from the white medicine pack, the rest of the packs sound pretty useful.
After she finished explaining, Hu Yan suddenly realized what Lu Wanning had just meant.
She said that the pink powder could knock down all the jail bosses. Was she planning to break into the prison?
However, Lu Wanning's excited expression clearly proved her guess.
Hu Yan could only close her eyes and find excuses for herself in her heart.
The prince said that she would follow the princess from now on, which proved that she was now the princess's person.
As a servant, she naturally had to obey her master's orders.
Not to mention jailbreaking, she would have to go even if she had to climb mountains of swords and go through seas of fire.
Thinking of this, Hu Yan nodded to herself. Yes, that's it.
When it was getting dark, Changqing came back.
The news brought was better than Lu Wanning expected.
"No one was caught," Chang Qing said. "The yamen runners did get the news that Sang Mingyue had appeared outside the city, but they didn't find him when they rushed over."
Lu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that she couldn't wait any longer.
Sang Mingyue didn't know that He Maosheng and Sang Zhiyu were still alive, and she must be eager to risk her life to die with Wei Xun.
She had to find a way to find Sang Mingyue first.
Only when you meet someone can you completely let go of your worries.
Lu Wanning thought about the place where Sang Mingyue and she first met in her previous life, and calculated the time, but felt that it was not a good idea.
In their previous life, they met half a year after the incident in the Sang family.
Who knows how much suffering Sang Mingyue will have to endure in the next six months.
So Lu Wanning carefully recalled all the words that Sang Mingyue had spoken to her in her previous life.
Finally got some goals.
When it was completely dark, she took Changqing and Hu Yan out.
Princess Qi never interfered too much with her whereabouts. In addition, Prince Qi would have to return to the border in a few days. Now she was busy with Prince Qi and naturally had no time to care about Lu Wanning.
The three of them walked under the moonlight to a dilapidated temple outside the city.
