Chapter 138 Visitors from the Palace



Doctor Yang immediately took the two of them to chase after the criminals, and horses were already ready at the city gate.

Eleven jumped onto the horse and held Xiao Ruyu tightly in his arms.

"Little princess, sit down."

"drive--"

He raised the whip and hit the horse's butt hard.

The horse neighed loudly, spread its hooves and chased after him.

This horse is a Ferghana horse, and the distance between it and Li Zhenling is gradually closing.

Eleven pulled the longbow and shot an arrow with lightning speed.

Hit the horse's leg!

Li Zhenling's horse neighed and fell to the ground, throwing him and him three meters away.

"Ouch!"

He rolled on the ground several times in pain, then climbed up with the help of his arms and tried to continue running away.

Several people in front of him blocked Li Zhenling's way. He looked up and saw clothes with royal totems.

[It's someone from the palace! ]

Xiao Ruyu exclaimed in surprise and quickly shouted to Eleven to dismount.

The officers and soldiers who came behind him escorted Li Zhenling up and saluted to the people in the palace.

"Meet Lord Lu."

The person who came was the Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Huaikun of the Lu family.

Doctor Yang recognized Lu Huaikun's identity and bowed to him.

"Master Lu, long time no see."

Seeing that it was someone from the palace, Li Zhenling's eyes rolled, and he knelt down at Lu Huaikun's feet, shouting and screaming.

"Your Excellency is wronged, please give me justice!"

He was wiping his nose and tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Before Lu Huaikun could say a few words to Doctor Yang, he was grabbed by his trouser leg and held tightly with an unhappy look on his face.

"What are you doing? Who wronged you?"

Li Zhenling pointed at Lord Yang and spoke angrily.

"It was this man who attracted the locusts and spread them to the neighboring counties, and finally blamed the common people for everything."

"It would be fine if I was dismissed from my post, but now they want to kill me all!"

Xiao Ruyu was speechless and was amazed at his ability to confuse right and wrong.

[This big bad guy actually wants to turn the tables! ]

Lu Huaikun frowned tightly, his eyes hesitant.

"Is this true?"

"Then I will have to investigate it carefully."

Seeing that there was a chance, Li Zhenling became even more outrageous and put all the blame on Doctor Yang.

Xiao Ruyu was so angry that her teeth were itching and she was about to open her mouth to refute.

[Did Lord Lu really listen to what this bad guy said? ]

[No, I have to go and defend my master.]

She was about to jump off her horse and step forward to explain, but she met Doctor Yang's teasing gaze.

Something doesn't seem right!

After listening carefully to Li Zhenling’s “wrongful case”, Lu Huaikun called on the people beside him to write it down.

Afterwards, he took out an imperial decree from his bosom. As soon as the bright yellow ancestral scroll was taken out, everyone knelt on the ground.

[It is my mother's will! ]

Xiao Ruyu was delighted and followed suit.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Empress says:

This palace knows that there is a locust plague in the south, and Imperial Physician Yang is short-handed and feels exhausted.

I hereby authorize the Dali Temple Minister Lu to come and help control the locusts and take over the affairs of the county. "

[It turns out that this person was sent by my mother to help the master! ]

Xiao Ruyu was delighted and felt reassured.

Lu Huaikun handed the imperial edict to Doctor Yang and looked down at his feet with contempt.

"What did you just say? Lord Yang framed you?"

"The Queen already knows the whole story, you are just making up stories and confusing right and wrong!"

"Where do you place the Empress and the royal dignity?"

Lu Huaikun directly accused him of disrespecting the royal family!

Li Zhenling collapsed to the ground, his face full of disbelief.

He was taken away by soldiers and thrown into prison again.

Only then did Lu Huaikun hurriedly bow to Doctor Yang with a hint of apology.

"That villain just offended Lord Yang. I just want him to suffer the consequences."

Doctor Yang patted his shoulder cheerfully and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Master Lu is the real deal. He got him into the trap in no time."

Xiao Ruyu jumped off the horse and threw herself into his arms.

[Master, that bad guy is so abominable that he even wanted to frame you.]

When Lu Huaikun saw the little baby in front of him, he was puzzled, but he felt that the baby looked more and more familiar.

He suddenly remembered where he had seen Xiao Ruyu and quickly knelt down to pay his respects.

"See you little ..."

"Hush."

He was interrupted by Xiao Ruyu when he was halfway through his words. Seeing her making faces, he understood what she meant.

[Master, since the bad guys have been caught, let’s go back too.]

Xiao Ruyu held Doctor Yang in one hand and Eleven in the other, and walked briskly back to the mansion.

The county seat was temporarily taken over by Lu Huaikun, and Li Zhenling was tried again.

Three days later, Xiao Ruyu pushed open the door of Doctor Yang's room and happened to run into Lu Huaikun who was just leaving.

"Little princess, you came just in time. Master was just about to look for you."

Imperial Doctor Yang stroked his teacup and told her the result of the trial of Li Zhenling's case.

"Li confessed everything. He said that he was confused at the time when he led the locusts eastward."

"The master also questioned him repeatedly and found that he was not aware of the altar on the mountain."

Although Xiao Ruyu felt a little disappointed, she didn't say much.

Doctor Yang saw what was on her mind and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Even so, this matter can only be investigated later."

"We have been here for quite some time now, it is time to get going."

Xiao Ruyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Master is right, we should go to Miaojiang to rescue our stinky brother."

"Then we'll set off tomorrow!"

Doctor Yang slammed the table, his eyes determined.

[Wait, before I leave, I still need to write a letter to my mother. ]

Xiao Ruyu happily went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Eleven to help her grind the ink.

"What is the little princess going to write?"

Doctor Yang came closer curiously, but was pushed away by her little hand.

[Don't read it yet. I'll show it to you after I finish writing it. ]

Xiao Ruyu kept the secret and hid aside, writing and drawing.

Seeing her like this, the two of them waited patiently by the side.

Half an incense stick later, Xiao Ruyu raised the letter in his hand and grinned.

[How does my drawing this time compare to last time? ]

Doctor Yang and Shi looked at it intently, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

I saw something even more abstract than last time appearing on the paper, and I could barely make out that the three black dots next to it were the three of them.

But they racked their brains but couldn't figure out what the rest of the items were.

Seeing the conflicted expressions on the two men's faces, Xiao Ruyu turned around and pondered them carefully.

[Is my drawing bad? I think it is more vivid than last time]

Doctor Yang and Eleven looked at each other and reached an agreement.

"The little princess's painting is so beautiful that Eleven feels it is simply... lifelike."

Eleven gritted his teeth and praised.

[Really?] Xiao Ruyu was obviously very pleased and complacent.

【Then tell me, what did I draw? 】

Eleven was choked and looked at Doctor Yang in confusion.

"this……"

He made frantic looks at Doctor Yang, trying to get him to explain.

Doctor Yang deliberately glanced away and pretended not to see it.

[Tell me something…Tell me something…]
