Chapter 197 Chu Ruo’s method is still the best!
The old man's face flushed red, and he was angry and anxious. He tried to get rid of the maids' support and shouted, "I'm fine..."
"Old Lord Feng, please don't hold on any longer."
Yuling winked at the maid beside her, and the two of them exerted a little force with their hands, half-supporting and half-carrying Old Fengjun towards the carriage.
The old lady kicked her feet wildly on the ground, trying to steady her body, but facing several young and strong maids, her resistance seemed so powerless.
In the blink of an eye, she was led to the carriage, and before she could speak again, she was put on the carriage.
Even the coachman was driven away and replaced by someone from the Anyang Marquis's Mansion.
"Let me down!"
But the only response she got was a crisp "Gee!" The coachman waved his whip, the horse neighed, and pulled the carriage away.
Only the old Lord's shouting and cursing remained, gradually dissipating in the air.
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding.
Madam Shan pointed at the two of them with a trembling finger, "You... are simply going too far."
Chu Ruohan looked at Madam Shan and said slowly, "The carriage has gone far away. Madam Shan, you should go back and check! If you are late, you will miss it."
There was a hint of teasing in the tone.
After saying that, the two turned around and walked into the Anyang Marquis's Mansion. The door of the mansion slowly closed behind them.
Mrs. Shan was furious, but she could do nothing about it.
She turned to look at her daughter, and then at the carriage that had already disappeared.
I could only stamp my feet and try to find a way back first. I couldn't let anything happen to the old lady...
Sitting on the dragon throne, the current emperor heard the news brought back by Ma Fuhai.
He was stunned at first, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the empty imperial study.
"That old noble of Shan Guo Kung Fu, relying on her favor to the late emperor, has become increasingly lawless. She even dares to put on airs in front of me..."
"I've finally met my nemesis this time..."
Ma Fuhai bent down and flattered, "That's right. I've been following the emperor for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen the old prince suffer a loss."
The emperor nodded slightly, his right hand gently stroking the armrest of the dragon throne. "Go and talk to the Anyang Marquis' Mansion. The punishments have been paid, and the kneeling has been made. Enough is enough!"
"Yes," Ma Fuhai accepted the order and continued, "Your Majesty, General Feng is still imprisoned?"
"Humph! Lock him up for a few more days and let him reflect on his pig-brained behavior."
Ma Fuhai took the order and left. Coincidentally, a young eunuch hurried in.
"Your Majesty, the old lady of Duke Shan's Mansion is outside seeking an audience."
A trace of helplessness flashed across the emperor's face and he shook his head slightly. She was really restless.
"The old Lord is old, and he was the savior of the late emperor. It is only natural that I should take good care of him..."
A hint of mischief flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said slowly, "Go, have the Imperial Hospital prepare some soothing and nourishing herbs. Tell them that I heard that old Lord Feng had come all this way, and I'm concerned for her health, so I've specially ordered them to be prepared."
"Tell me again, and tell me that I'm busy with official business today and can't spare the time. I'll definitely come and visit you in person another day."
"twitter……"
After the young eunuch left, the emperor leaned back on the dragon throne and looked out the window. Chu Ruohan's idea was great!
The old prince didn't even get to see the emperor before he was sent back, along with a cartload of medicinal herbs...
Chu Ruohan's eyes curved into crescents, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her laughter echoed in the courtyard like a silver bell.
"This emperor is quite interesting. He imitates others, but he is much more direct than us."
Yuling covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "I heard that the old Lord Feng collapsed in anger when he returned. The medicinal herbs given by the emperor just happened to be used."
“Hehehe…”
Haitang came running over, a look of delight on her face, "Young Madam, Miss Ruyan is awake!"
Chu Ruohan immediately put away the smile on her face, quickly stood up, and walked quickly towards the pharmacy.
Doctor Qian gently placed his fingers on Song Ruyan's wrist. After a moment, he quickly withdrew his hand, and a faint blush appeared on the tip of his ear.
Although he was trying to cure a disease and save a life, after all, he had to see the girl's body, so Doctor Qian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Chu Ruohan stepped forward, her eyes full of concern, "Doctor Qian, how is Ruyan?"
Doctor Qian calmed himself down, cleared his throat, and said, "Miss Ruyan is a martial artist herself, and she's in good health. The poison she was previously poisoned with has been resolved, and now she only has some superficial injuries. With proper care, she'll be fully recovered in no time."
Chu Ruohan finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Doctor Qian, thank you for your concern."
Doctor Qian quickly waved his hand and said, "You're too polite, madam. This is all within my responsibility."
After saying everything that needed to be said, Dr. Qian felt a little uncomfortable and left the pharmacy in a slightly hurried manner.
Chu Ruohan walked to Song Ruyan's bedside and looked at her, who was still a little pale. "Ruyan, you're finally awake."
Song Ruyan moved her body slightly, but felt pain all over her body.
"Young Madam, that day I followed Gu Chengyan's carriage out of the city and all the way to the Hurricane Inn in the neighboring county. That night..."
She paused, licked her dry lips, and continued, "I had hoped to take advantage of the darkness of the night to quietly dispatch him, but I didn't realize they had set an ambush... Those men's skills were no less impressive than mine. Their every move was perfectly coordinated, clearly well-trained assassins."
Chu Ruohan frowned. She knew very well that Song Ruyan was very ambitious and wanted to compete with Ying Qing when she first entered the mansion.
The person who could make her so embarrassed must be very powerful and should not be underestimated.
Thinking back to her confrontation with Gu Chengyan, Chu Ruohan was filled with regret.
Her previous plots had all been successful, which made her gradually relax her vigilance and forget what a sinister character Gu Chengyan was.
She tried to plot against Gu Chengyan several times and succeeded every time, but she neglected the fact that he was a poisonous snake.
In his previous life, for the title of Marquis of Anyang, he even killed his own brother without hesitation.
That ruthless and decisive look is still vivid in my mind.
This was a complete preparation. Even if the Spring Banquet failed, one of her arms would be cut off.
She underestimated the enemy...
Chu Ruohan gently patted Song Ruyan's hand to comfort her: "Ruyan, you should have a good rest and take care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."
Three days passed in a flash, and Feng was still kneeling outside.
The Duke Shan's Mansion was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, they begged for mercy several times in a humble manner, bringing generous gifts each time, hoping that Chu Ruohan would show mercy.
But no matter how the other party begged, Chu Ruo remained unmoved.
Until Anyang Hou could no longer hold back and stepped into Hongmeng Courtyard...
