Chapter 45 I’m going to beat you to death today, let’s see how you can get into trouble again!
The Queen Mother slowly walked into the Cining Palace and called softly, "Xiao Xizi."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xi hurried forward and bowed, "I am here. What are your wishes, Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother's gaze was deep, and after a moment, she slowly said, "Yueyue must have been frightened just now. She and I get along very well, and she's a rare and wonderful girl. Go and take out the night-shining pearl that the Third Prince sent me the other day. It's so radiant, I'm sure Yueyue will like it. Also, select three pieces of the finest tribute of cloud silk brocade, and prepare a thousand taels of gold, and send them to Yueyue. Tell her that it's my thanks for her help the other day."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xizi quickly responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Seeing this, Ma Ma beside her smiled and said, "The Queen Mother really dotes on Miss Lan!"
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, but a complex light flashed in her eyes: "Yuan'er used to be disgusted with those rich girls. But I saw it clearly today. When he looked at Yueyue, he didn't have the same disgusted look he used to have towards those rich girls. In my opinion, there might be something between them."
Upon hearing this, Ma Ma's smile widened. "That's wonderful! The Queen Mother has always hoped that the Regent would marry soon. Now it seems that you can rest assured."
The empress dowager's smile disappeared in an instant, and a trace of worry appeared on her face: "Your Majesty and Yuan'er are obviously brothers, but... Alas!" After saying this, the empress dowager sighed lightly, turned around and walked into the inner room.
Nanny Ma looked at the empress dowager's back, and understood what she was worried about. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, then followed her into the inner room to serve the empress dowager.
Lan Xiyue left the palace gates. A gorgeously decorated carriage was parked quietly there. She took a few steps forward and saw Tianyi. Naturally, she knew who was in the carriage. She called out softly, "Your Majesty?"
Mo Liyuan in the carriage slowly opened the window, and his deep eyes, like a cold pond, glared at Lan Xiyue.
"Lan Xiyue, don't let others hold you back in everything. Be more thorough in your work."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue frowned involuntarily.
He knew that he was the one who drugged the dog prince? This shouldn't be the case. How could he know?
Anyway, she would never admit it. Lan Xiyue showed a puzzled expression on her face, "What do you mean by this, Your Highness? I don't understand."
"Lan Xiyue, don't try to be clever. The Queen is very narrow-minded and sometimes she doesn't need evidence."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Liyuan closed the car window.
"Walk!"
Tian Yi, who was standing beside the carriage, glanced at Lan Xiyue and drove away.
The wheels rolled, raising a cloud of dust.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Lan Xiyue fanned herself with her hands. What kind of person was that? He made her eat dust.
No, she came here in a sedan chair from the palace. Does she have to walk back now?
"Hey! Your Majesty, please give me a ride. I don't have a carriage!" Lan Xiyue shouted with gritted teeth as she watched the carriage going away.
Seeing this, Chu Xia was also extremely anxious. She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what should we do? Are we going to walk back on foot? That would take until dark."
Just then, a carriage came hurriedly and stopped not far from Lan Xiyue and the others.
The driver was An Yi. After getting out of the car, he walked up to Lan Xiyue and bowed respectfully, saying, "Miss Lan, the master has asked me to escort you back home."
Lan Xiyue was delighted when she heard this. She nodded slightly and said to An Yi, "Your master still has a conscience. Let's go, Chuxia. We don't have to hurt our legs anymore."
Chu Xia was also overjoyed when she heard this. She hurriedly followed Lan Xiyue and got on the carriage together.
After they were seated, An Yi drove away in the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Lan Xiyue secretly wondered, "Can't I just be more discreet?" She hadn't been seen this time, but the eldest prince said something bad happened to the crown prince shortly after they met him, so she thought it was her doing. Even if it wasn't, the queen, being petty, would definitely teach the crown prince a lesson the next time they met. She would just stay in the dark.
"System, it seems that Mo Liyuan really entered the palace because of me. Why is he helping me? Is he really in love with me? Or is he impressed by my medical skills because I saved his subordinates?"
System: "What if everything is possible?"
"That's a good feeling. If you don't hug someone you like, you're a fool."
System: "Master, as a modern agent, do you need to curry favor with others?"
"What do you know? In this era of imperial power, having someone close to you can save you a lot of trouble. Besides, I still need to rely on him to earn points, so it won't hurt to have a good relationship with him."
Before they knew it, the carriage stopped in front of the Wuguohou Mansion.
An Yi looked at the closed door and scratched his head in confusion.
Lan Xiyue and Chu Xia got off the carriage one after another and were stunned when they saw the closed door.
"Miss Lan, would you like me to knock on the door for you?"
Lan Xiyue shook her head and said to An Yi with a smile, "No, thank you very much."
Upon hearing this, An Yi clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Then I will go back." After that, he turned the carriage around and drove away.
Lan Xiyue walked to the gate, looked up at the closed door, and squinted her eyes.
Chu Xia went forward and looked at the door, "Open the door, the young lady is back."
Chuxia knocked for a long time, but there was no movement from inside.
"Miss, what's wrong with the doorman? Why can't he hear the knock on the door?"
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly. This so-called scumbag father must have deliberately left her out to intimidate her!
Humph, so what if the door is closed? She can't climb over the wall to get in. Once she gets in, after dark, she will have to empty the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion. She has space now.
Just as she turned around, she suddenly saw a figure in the distance. Why were the people from the palace here again?
Eunuch Xi slowly stepped forward with the gift from the Queen Mother, "Your servant greets Miss Lan."
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but feel a little confused: Why is this attitude so different from when she was summoned to the palace?
"You are too polite, sir. What is this?"
"Miss Lan, I'm here on the orders of the Queen Mother to deliver something to you. Hey, why are you at the gate of your mansion? Why aren't you going in?" Eunuch Xi asked with a smile.
Lan Xiyue was a little shocked. The Empress Dowager sent her something? Was it to thank her for helping her at Xiangguo Temple? It was just a small favor. Why would the Empress Dowager, with such a noble status, take it to heart?
Lan Xiyue spread her hands helplessly, turned around and looked at the tightly closed door, her eyes filled with both mockery and helplessness.
Seeing this, Eunuch Xi frowned slightly, took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.
Eunuch Xi knocked for a long time but there was no response.
"This...it's not even dark yet, and your house has already closed its gates. Isn't there a gatekeeper guarding it?"
Lan Xiyue lowered her head in grievance and shook her head, "I don't know either. This has never happened before."
Eunuch Xi knocked hard again, and then the door was opened.
Lan Zhenrong came out with a whip in his hand, looking very aggressive. "You evil girl, I'm going to beat you to death today. Let's see how you can get into trouble again."
After Lan Zhenrong finished speaking, he saw Eunuch Xi looking at him with an unhappy expression.
Lan Zhenrong's expression changed, and he forced a smile in an instant: "Eunuch Xi, don't worry, go back and tell the Queen Mother that this evil girl dared to harm the Crown Prince, I will definitely teach her a lesson today."
