Ning Ruqiu was very grateful for Lan Mo's help. This should be the third time.
"General Lan has been helping me, but I don't know how to repay him.”Ning Ruqiu had always maintained a polite distance from Lan Mo. Her words made the real smile in Lan Mo's eyes fade instantly.
"Miss Ning, you don't have to be so polite. If you really want to repay me, why don't you have a drink with me when you have time?”The last 'good thing' was completely ruined by Si Tingye, and Lan Mo still remembered it vividly.
Ning Ruqiu nodded, completely throwing Si Tingye's warning to the back of her mind.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first. After nightfall, someone will take you to the dungeon.”
Although the dungeon was not like the imperial prison, where prisoners were locked up, it was not a place where people could enter and leave at will. Without the emperor's edict, even the empress had no right to enter, not to mention that Lan Mo was actually just a general.
In the evening, Si Hengqing sneakily brought a large pile of medicinal herbs to Ning Ruqiu's current resting place. He was dressed like a professional thief returning with a full load. How could he have thought that he was the Sixth Prince of the Great Hong Kingdom?
"Sixth Prince, have you prepared all the medicinal ingredients I mentioned?”
"En, all twenty-three medicinal herbs are here, but third brother said that he didn't find a golden ring snake.”Si Hengqing was so tired that he was sweating profusely. In order not to let anyone find out that Ning Ruqiu was here, he had deliberately gone to other places.
"It's fine if you didn't find it, but it's best to be careful. The Golden Ring Snake might appear again.”Although Ning Ruqiu said so, presumably the Empress would not be stupid enough to use the same method to harm the Emperor again.
"Yes, yes. Third sister-in-law, you really know a lot.”Si Hengqing said enviously. Those so-called famous doctors were helpless, but Third sister-in-law could easily solve the problem.
"You don't have to call me third sister-in-law. I have nothing to do with Si Tingye.”Ning Ruqiu said coldly.
"Eh? How was this possible? Third Brother already said that you're his woman. Third Sister-in-law, did you have a conflict with Third Brother?”Si Hengqing clearly did not believe Ning Ruqiu's words. In his eyes, Third Brother would never lie.
Ning Ruqiu couldn't be bothered to argue with Si Hengqing anymore. After she cured the Emperor, she could leave this place and the truth would be revealed.
Si Hengqing saw that Ning Ruqiu still looked unhappy and couldn't help but say," Third Sister-in-law, although Third Brother is always cold, he's actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He hides everything in his heart and doesn't say anything. Even if he's misunderstood, he hasn't explained anything. But Third Brother is really a good person.”
A good person? Ning Ruqiu really didn't think that this word could be associated with Si Tingye, but she could indeed see Si Hengqing's admiration for his brother.
Ning Ruqiu was not interested in listening to Si Hengqing continue, so she could only change the topic." Sixth Prince can come to collect the medicine at this time tomorrow."”
"I understand. I'll come on time.”Si Hengqing had been rebuffed by Ning Ruqiu. Before he came here, he had been treated like this when he visited Si Tingye. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he always the unlucky one?
Ning Ruqiu wanted to send Si Hengqing away as soon as possible because she didn't know when the people sent by Lan Mo would return. However, just as Si Hengqing opened the door, a General Lan Mo was standing at the door.
"Lan Mo, why is it you again?" Si Hengqing frowned, wondering why Lan Mo was here.
The smile on Lan Mo's face didn't change. He looked at Si Hengqing as if he was looking at a child who hadn't grown up yet." I have something to discuss with Miss Ning. I didn't expect Sixth Prince to be here."”
"What Lady Ning? She is my third sister-in-law, you should at least address her as princess consort.”Si Hengqing glared at Lan Mo. Although Lan Mo was Third Brother's friend, he didn't know why he felt that it would be dangerous for Lan Mo to stay by Third Sister-in-law's side.
Lan Mo chuckled and said nonchalantly," I'm afraid Miss Ning prefers to be addressed like this.”
Ning Ruqiu watched from the side as the two of them clashed, but she was more concerned about when she would be able to see the person she wanted to see.
"General Lan, if I remember correctly, you didn't come here to argue with the Sixth Prince, did you?”Ning Ruqiu's cold gaze swept across the two of them." If General Lan regrets and doesn't want to help, you can say it clearly.”
"Of course not. We can set off now.”Lan Mo said gently to Ning Ruqiu, ignoring Si Hengqing's existence.
"Wait, where are you going?" Si Hengqing stood in front of Lan Mo and Ning Ruqiu and asked unhappily. He didn't like the feeling of being excluded.
"Sixth Prince, we are going to the dungeon next. If you are interested, you can come with us.”Ning Ruqiu said with a normal expression, but in fact, she was having a headache from the noise.
After Si Hengqing found out about their destination, he surprisingly did not go with them. Instead, he obediently left first.
Ning Ruqiu and Lan Mo boarded the carriage. In less than two hours, they arrived at the dungeon.
When the guards of the dungeon saw Lan Mo appear, they opened the door without saying a word and respectfully sent them in.
The prison was filled with the smell of decay. Each cell was crowded with no less than ten people. All of them had unkempt hair and dirty faces, and their eyes were dull and lifeless.
"General, if you continue to walk forward, you will reach the prison cell where the family members of Prince Ye's Mansion are imprisoned.”The guard pointed them in the right direction and left their sight.
Ning Ruqiu walked in step by step and finally saw the person she wanted to see in a cell near the end.
"Xiao Tao! Zixi!" Ning Ruqiu stood in front of the prison cell, her eyes flashing with surprise.
When Xiao Tao and Zixi heard someone calling their names, they couldn't help but turn to look at the door. In the end, they exclaimed in unison," Miss!”
"Are the two of you doing well here?”Ning Ruqiu asked with heartache.
"Fortunately, they only captured us. They didn't even interrogate us for the past two days.”Zixi calmly replied. After Xiao Tao saw Ning Ruqiu, she cried tears of joy.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out soon. Zixi, take care of Xiao Tao.”
"This servant understands, miss please rest assured.”Since Zixi had already become Ning Ruqiu's subordinate, she would naturally treat Xiao Tao as family.
"What I need is for both of you to survive.”Ning Ruqiu said firmly.
" Miss…Burp…I'm so scared…" Xiao Tao had never seen such a big scene before. Even if she was abused by the servants in the Prince's mansion, she was only beaten up. However, she heard that she would lose her head if she went to prison." Miss, I don't want to die yet."”
"I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you. Xiao Tao, you have to be strong.”Ning Ruqiu consoled. There was no reason in this world that anyone had to help anyone. Everyone had to think of a way to survive for themselves.
Xiao Tao saw her Miss 'encouraging gaze and nodded heavily, but she was still scared to death.
Seeing this, Ning Ruqiu could only place her hopes on Zixi. Zixi nodded.
At this moment, a familiar and cold voice entered Ning Ruqiu's ears.
"How come this king didn't know that this king's woman was already this close to Great General Lan?”Si Tingye's sudden appearance made the situation turn strange.
Ning Ruqiu didn't even need to ask why Si Tingye had appeared here. Si Hengqing must have been the one who had reported him.
When she saw Si Tingye walking over, Ning Ruqiu whispered into his ear," Si Tingye, you're really like a ghost that won't leave no matter where you go.”
The corners of Si Tingye's lips curled up as a dangerous glint flashed across his eyes." Woman, I seem to have reminded you to behave yourself.”
"Your Highness, you can't do it yourself, yet you don't allow others to help?”Ning Ruqiu had long seen that the so-called imperial prison couldn't hold Si Tingye at all. She just didn't expect him to come here to join in the fun.
Si Tingye wrapped his arm around Ning Ruqiu's slender waist." Tell me, if this Prince orders someone to send these two maidservants away, what kind of reaction would you have?”
Ning Ruqiu snorted coldly." Your Highness's methods of threatening people really haven't improved at all. However, I'm sure Your Highness has heard of 'giving me a taste of my own medicine.' Your Highness knows who I care about. Does Your Highness not care about anyone?”
Lan Mo stood at the side and watched Si Tingye and Ning Ruqiu's 'lovey-dovey' behavior. A dark and strange look flashed across his eyes, and he actually felt like he was redundant.
Si Tingye finally let go of Ning Ruqiu, but he did not forget to remind her," This King doesn't like to be threatened. You'd better know when to stop. Otherwise, This King really can't guarantee what will happen next."”
"No one knows what will happen next. If Your Highness only went to great lengths to come here and talk nonsense with me, it can be seen that Your Highness is really bored to death in the Heaven Prison.”Ning Ruqiu said coldly. She was already used to Si Tingye's threats, but when others heard it, they were all terrified.
Si Tingye looked at Ning Ruqiu. If this woman's mouth could ever shut up, there must be another miracle.
"Your Highness, who should be in the Heaven Prison, has appeared in the dungeon. If this news spreads, it will probably cause some unnecessary trouble. What does Your Highness think?”Lan Mo suddenly spoke with a sharp tone.
"Great General Lan, you're so concerned about this king's woman. It seems to be a little inappropriate.”It was similar to the confrontation on the street that day, but Si Tingye looked much calmer and Lan Mo seemed a little impatient.
"This general really admires Miss Ning. Besides, the boundaries between friends don't need to be so strict. Don't you think it should be like this?”Lan Mo didn't give in, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 27PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
