Seeing this, Concubine Li raised her head and thought for a while, then continued to persuade:
"Xi'er, if we don't cooperate with the Chu people, your mother's identity will definitely harm you. Even if you have ten thousand mouths, even if you are the emperor's biological son, you will not be able to explain yourself, and no one will believe you anymore. Therefore, sitting on the throne is your only way to survive."
After saying this, she patted Leng Xi's shoulders twice and lobbied again:
"If you want to accomplish great things, you must be ruthless."
Leaving these words behind, she raised her foot and walked out of the main hall.
Leng Xi did not respond to her words. He still sat there in a daze. He could not believe that his mother was actually a spy of the Chu State and had been lurking in the Daning State for many years. In other words, the Chu people had been planning this conspiracy to seize the Daning State for decades.
"Hahaha……"
He suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his laughter was filled with despair, helplessness and sarcasm.
…
Bai'antang.
Luo Lan would come to Bai'antang to see patients for a whole morning every three days. People who had already mastered the routine would rush to Bai'antang on this day.
Firstly, they wanted to witness Princess Yu's elegance, and secondly, they only believed in Princess Yu's medical skills.
Today is another day when Luo Lan is seeing patients. As soon as she arrived at the door of Bai'antang, she was surrounded by the people. There were especially many people coming today. Fortunately, Agang and others were maintaining order, otherwise Luo Lan would not even be able to enter the house.
After Luo Lan came to the seat where she was supposed to treat patients and sat down, she signaled Agang to let the patients in. Just as Luo Lan was taking the pulse of the first patient, an old woman squeezed in with a trembling body. The person in front of her immediately wanted to push her away out of displeasure, but she knelt down in front of Luo Lan and cried loudly.
"Princess Yu, please save my granddaughter. She is dying. Please."
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan frowned and waved to A Gang, "Let her in."
After getting Luo Lan's permission, the old woman got up from the ground, ran to her with small steps, and knelt down again with red eyes.
"Princess Yu, I don't know what's wrong with my granddaughter. She woke up early this morning and complained of a stomachache. She's in so much pain, I think you should go and take a look at her."
Hearing this, Luo Lan glanced at the patient in front of him and said, "I have to see a doctor. If you want to wait for me, please wait a while. If you don't want to wait, go find the other two doctors. Their medical skills are also very good."
Leaving these words behind, she stood up and said to Ah Cai:
"Take my medicine box and come with me on my house calls."
Ah Cai did not dare to delay and hurried to pack the medicine box. Ah Hong wanted to follow but was stopped by Luo Lan.
"You and Agang stay here, I'll be back soon."
After she finished speaking, she said to the old woman:
"Grandma, how far is your home from here? Do you need a car?"
The old woman nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"No need, my home is not far away, Princess Yu, please follow me."
After saying this, she led the way, and Luo Lan and A Cai followed closely behind.
After the three of them walked on the street for a while, the old woman led them into an alley. As they walked, she said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Princess. We are poor, and our place is a little shabby. I feel really bad for asking you to come this far. But you can see this alley is narrow and deep, and a carriage can't fit in. Please walk with your feet lifted, so as not to dirty your shoes."
The old woman's words made Luo Lan frown, and an inexplicable worry surged in his heart.
An ordinary old woman would not have the mind to say such polite words when her granddaughter is seriously ill. Is this old woman lying?
While she was lost in thought, Ah Cai probably noticed something was wrong. She gently pulled the corner of Luo Lan's clothes and whispered,
"Princess, this old woman's walking posture is a little strange. Have you noticed? She is not as clumsy as she was just now at the clinic. Her steps seem much lighter. And I think she seems to have some kung fu skills."
Acai's words made Luo Lan more doubtful, but since she was here, she would not back down halfway. The worst that could happen was that she would just make preparations early.
She continued to follow the old woman slowly until they came to a rather dilapidated courtyard, where the old woman stopped.
"Princess, this is my home, please come in."
Luo Lan raised her eyes and met her evasive gaze, but she still nodded to her pretending not to know and stepped into the dangerous and unknown threshold.
This courtyard is indeed very dilapidated. At first glance, the spider webs all over the yard are clearly visible, as if no one has lived there for a long time. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this old woman.
She brought Luo Lan to a door and shouted:
"Chong'er, the doctor is here."
There was silence inside. The old woman pushed open the door and walked in first. Then she stood at the door and whispered:
"Princess, please be careful as the room is a little shabby."
Ah Cai was behind Luo Lan and reminded softly:
"Princess, be careful."
A scornful smile appeared on Luo Lan's lips. She really wanted to see what this old woman was doing by luring her here, or who wanted to harm her?
She raised her foot and walked into the door without hesitation, and Acai followed closely behind her with a nervous expression.
The old woman probably saw the doubt in Luo Lan's eyes, so she led them inside while introducing them.
"Princess, please come in. Although this yard is a little shabby, it's big enough for me and my granddaughter to live in. So I clean it every few days. Maybe I'm old, so I don't clean it very well. Please don't mind."
