"There are still three days before the New Year's Eve. I heard that other medical clinics have closed down. Why do you still have to go out to see a doctor?"
Zhou Qiyan was carrying big and small bags of New Year's gifts, and asked the Seventh Prince for leave to send them to the hospital, where she guessed.
"It's an old man with inconvenient legs and feet. Yesterday he asked his entourage to come over and tell me the details of the situation. It's because of the Chinese New Year that he couldn't bear to suffer from his illness, so he decided to go and have a look."
When Ling Muer packed up the medicine box and looked back, she happened to see him carrying many gifts, "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"
"The last time I was in the other courtyard of the Seventh Prince, I saw that you ate this peach cake. It tasted delicious. Today, I went to buy some more when I was free. I will give it to my uncle and aunt to taste. If it feels good, I will send some over after the New Year. .”
The peach blossom cakes in the east of the city are freshly made, and you can’t buy them in a limited queue every day. You have to get up early to buy them, and he bought so much, so he is determined.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, but since you are alone during the Chinese New Year, you might as well go to my house to spend it."
Ling Mu'er couldn't bear his New Year's Eve alone, and on the days of family reunion, he would inevitably meet things and think about others. Ruidi's sudden death must have hit him hard.
"No, I will go there alone during the Chinese New Year, which will inevitably make my uncle and aunt suspicious. Besides, I am the seventh prince's personal bodyguard now, and the New Year is just a busy time."
He had no time to get away, and Ling Muer didn't force her, "Okay, then when you have time, go and stay for a few days. Yesterday, mother was still talking about Big Brother Zhou."
Ever since Ling Zixuan and Chaoyang got married, Niang had lost a lot, her only son was not by her side, so she naturally missed these children who had lived at home temporarily.
Zhou Qiyan nodded, agreeing, seeing that Ling Muer was about to go out, he took the initiative to open the door for her, "Where is the place for this consultation, I will take you off?"
"No need, the carriage has already been prepared. You go to line up early in the morning to buy peach blossom cakes for me. You should go back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion right now. I can go to the other courtyard on the outskirts of the city by myself."
Zhou Qiyan paused for a moment, always feeling something was wrong, but couldn't think of it, so he said 'Be careful' and watched her leave.
Because it was the New Year, the streets were overcrowded, and the speed of the carriage was very slow. Halfway through, she chose to walk and let the driver go back first.
After walking for about an hour, she finally arrived at the other courtyard in the outskirts of the city. Seeing that this magnificent courtyard was the only one in the surrounding wilderness, she couldn't help shivering.
"It's really interesting that there are still people living here in such a desolate place."
Knocking on the door, it was the boy who went to inquire in the clinic yesterday, seeing that it was Ling Mu'er, he hurriedly let her in.
"Doctor Ling really came on time, Doctor Lao Ling is here."
The servant made a gesture of invitation and led her to the courtyard on the left.
The other courtyard is very large, just as grand as it looks outside the door, it seems that this master is also a powerful character.
"You didn't say yesterday that your master only lives alone, why are there red happy words posted around him?"
From entering the door to now, almost every tree and every rockery has been pasted with happy characters, and the red ones are festive.
The servant was obviously taken aback, obviously not aware that she would ask such a question suddenly, his eyes rolled wildly, and he hurriedly explained, "Well, isn't it the Chinese New Year? Happy word, he said it was so festive."
It was the first time Ling Muer heard of this statement, she nodded without any doubt.
But the more I walked, the more I felt wrong.
"Wait, where are you taking me?"
She has already walked through two courtyards in a row, and she has been detoured. No matter how good her memory is, she has been confused at this moment.
She stood there with her arms folded and refused to leave.
The little servant paused, and a murderous look flashed across his calm face, but when he turned his head back, he regained his composure just now, raised his face and smiled, "Hey, Doctor Ling, don't worry, my master is waiting in front of you." and you."
"Your master doesn't have a habit of living in a deserted courtyard, does he?"
May I ask, which house's owner doesn't live in the main house, but only likes the remote yard?
Even if Ling Mu'er could no longer doubt it, she didn't know what to do this time.
Seeing the young man's face change instantly after hearing the words, she realized that something was wrong, "Sorry, there are other patients in my clinic. If your master really wants to see a doctor, please invite him to the clinic."
Without giving the boy a chance to answer, Ling Muer turned around and strode away.
The boy realized that the situation was wrong, and hurried to catch up, "Stop!"
Those who really stop are fools.
Ling Muer not only didn't stop, but also ran very fast. Seeing this, the servant behind him shouted in a certain direction, "Come on, catch her, don't let her get away!"
In an instant, more than a dozen men in black descended from the sky. Ling Muer suffered from lack of lightness skills, and was surrounded by people almost as soon as he ran more than ten meters away.
All of them were masked in black and gold, only showing the piercing black pupils. The men in black held swords in their hands, and about fifteen or so menacingly circled her in the center.
The timid servant just now frowned and sneered, "Doctor Ling, what kind of place do you think this is? You can leave as soon as you say you want? Without my master's orders, you can't go anywhere today!"
After the words fell, the servant made a gesture to go down, and more than a dozen people in black rose up and attacked.
No matter how powerful Ling Muer's close combat skills were, she couldn't escape the sneak attack from behind. She only felt a pain in the back of her head, her eyes went dark, and she fainted to the ground.
County Palace.
As the son of Su's eldest son, Su Ce was busy with the New Year's affairs, and the slave came to report in a hurry, "Little Duke, there is a maid outside the door with a letter saying that it must be handed over to you in person, and please have a look at it." .”
"Maid girl? Which house is it from?"
Thinking it was the idle ladies in the capital, Su Ce casually looked at it without any intention of opening it, but while throwing it out, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a mark at the bottom of the envelope from the corner of his eye.
That is the unique mark of the Prince's Mansion.
A few days ago, he had just formed a relationship with the prince, so even if there was any conspiracy this time, it was impossible to leave such a blatant clue.
When Su Ce was suspicious, his subordinates accidentally bumped into the teacup on the coffee table, a glass cup fell to the ground and shattered, and his heart suddenly became dull.
"Ling Muer is in danger, see you at the Ling Family Restaurant."
He had never seen the writer's handwriting, but it was related to Ling Mu'er's safety, so he had to go and find out whether it was true or not.
"Ce'er, where are you going, Ce'er?" Mrs. Su, who just came from the main courtyard, happened to see Su Ce leave in a hurry, and she hurried to catch up.
"Grandmother, Ce'er has something else to do, come back later today."
It's too late to tell grandma in detail, it's about Ling Muer, he won't miss even a small matter of sesame and mung beans, and he has a hunch that this matter is not that simple.
Mrs. Su was full of disappointment, this grandson didn't seem to forgive her for the slap in the face.
Ling's restaurant, private rooms on the second floor, because of the close of the year, there was little business, so Su Ce went straight up to the second floor. All the private rooms were tightly closed, except for a veil on the door of the corner room. He strode past, and just as he approached the door, the door was opened.
"It's you?"
The woman with her back turned slowly got up, and when she saw Su Ce, she hurriedly said, "Ling Muer is in danger, if Su Xiaojun Wang is really worried about her safety, go and save her quickly."
Su Ce thought he had no friendship with the Crown Princess, and she hadn't heard that Ling Muer had any friendship with her. What kind of medicine did the Crown Princess sell in her gourd?
"What danger? Where is she? How did the Crown Princess find out, and why did she tell me this news?" Su Ce was full of doubts.
"Accordingly, I shouldn't have told you, but Ling Mu'er helped me conceive successfully. I promised him that I would never make things difficult again. Xiaojun Wang, yesterday I accidentally overheard the conversation between the crown prince and his servants. They deliberately tied him up. Ling Muer wants to make Shangguan Shaochen her side concubine when she is not in the capital. If you don't save her, it will be too late!"
There was a rumbling in his heart, like an electric shock, Su Ce was unstable but remained calm.
No, why did the Crown Princess tell herself this news, the Crown Princess has always obeyed the Crown Prince's orders, how is this different from murdering her own husband?
"Why should I trust you?"
"You should have heard about the matter that the crown prince asked the emperor for an order a few days ago but refused. The crown prince has long been interested in Ling Mu'er, and he has long wanted to keep her as his own. The new year is coming soon, and the emperor is busy. Pay attention to this problem, once the crown prince succeeds, even if he is tracked down by the emperor in the future, it will not help. Su Ce, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not, it depends on whether you really care about Ling Muer in your heart."
The Crown Princess' tone was firm, and the worry on her face didn't look like she was pretending.
Su Ce's nervous heart instantly rose to his throat.
He didn't know if this was a scheme set up by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess against him, but he would rather believe it or not.
"Where is Ling Muer?"
"I don't know." Seeing Su Ce's murderous eyes, the Crown Princess hastily added, "I only know that the Crown Prince has gone out early in the morning. You have a lot of connections in the capital. It shouldn't be difficult to investigate the Crown Prince's whereabouts."
Su Ce stared at her for three seconds, and after saying 'thank you', he turned around and left.
"Su Ce?" The princess suddenly remembered something and called him to stop.
"I don't know what else the princess wants to order?"
"I thought it was out of gratitude that I let you save Ling Mu'er, but this matter concerns the reputation of the crown prince, I hope you think twice."
Su Ce squeezed his fist, took a deep look at her, then hurriedly turned and left.
Looking for someone in such a huge capital city is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it shouldn't be difficult to find out the whereabouts of the crown prince.
Su Ce thought so, but the result exceeded his expectations.
All the spies he sent out had only one answer: they disappeared after half of the tracking.
In other words, no one knows the whereabouts of the prince!
Su Ce's fist hit the stone lion at the gate of the county palace heavily. "What are you still doing in a daze? If you don't go find it for me, even if you turn the capital upside down, you will find it for me!"
He had been to the Ling Mansion just now and learned that Ling Muer had gone out early in the morning. Now he doesn't know where Ling Muer is, whether she has fallen into the hands of the prince, or how many hours has passed since her danger , His heart was beating up and down, and he had an ominous premonition.
"Hey, look at the eyes of the little county king who can breathe fire, how much anger has he encountered, and make the prince happy when he speaks out?"
