Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

As soon as Nanny Li closed the door, Mingqi whispered anxiously, "We just received news from the palace that the Crown Prince is seriously ill and in critical condition. I'm afraid his life is in danger!"

It was just a short sentence, but what happened next was hard to describe. Mingqi must have known it, and his eyes were full of worry.

Yuan Ruolan felt as if struck by lightning, with a fishy and sweet taste in her throat. She vomited blood immediately, and her feet could not stand steadily. She fell down. If Mingqi had not blocked her in time, she would have hit the corner of the table. When Nanny Li heard the noise outside, she did not bother to avoid suspicion and hurriedly pushed the door open. She quickly stepped forward to support Yuan Ruolan, looking up and staring at Mingqi.

Mingqi came in a hurry, so his feet were stuck with snow and mud. After supporting Yuan Ruolan, he himself fell down hard. At this moment, he just looked at Yuan Ruolan. It was not until he saw with his own eyes that she was fine that he realized his legs were hurting and it was difficult for him to even stand up.

Nanny Li ordered the little maid to come in and help Mingqi up.

Yuan Ruolan stared blankly into the distance. No matter how she thought about it, she would be dead now!

The royal family's majesty and thunderous wrath were difficult to bear even for an official physician, not to mention that his two younger brothers were just commoners and merchants, who were not worthy of anything no matter how respectable they were.

After a brief panic, she smoothed the wind-blown hair on her forehead and ordered the carriage to be harnessed.

Nanny Li held the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand, her heart in agony but she dared not ask more questions. Seeing that Yuan Ruolan only brought Mingqi, who had an injured leg, she walked back and forth at the door anxiously. The coachman received the order and drove straight to the palace gate.

In the car, Yuan Ruo asked Ming Qi across from him with a trembling voice: "Is the news accurate?"

"Of course it is true." Ever since he knew that the two heads of the Yuan family had entered the palace to treat the Crown Prince, Mingqi had been running around, asking people for news from the palace. Seeing that Yuan Ruolan was still a little hesitant, he said, "The companion who begged with me in Liangyue Temple that day entered the palace in his early years and worked in the imperial kitchen. I ran into him again when I went out of the palace to buy things. I found him a few days ago and gave him the real estate deeds of a house and several shops to help him retire after he leaves the palace. I asked him to take care of the two uncles in the palace."

Seeing Yuan Ruolan silent, he said worriedly: "Madam, please take care of yourself."

Yuan Ruolan looked at him and whispered, "It's okay, just tell me everything you know."

The carriage drove along, and the driver outside did not dare to ask if they could go to that place. In fact, he had never been to that place in his life. But because he thought that the master of the family treated him well, he drove the carriage forward. Due to the night curfew, the streets of Bianjing City were usually quiet, but today there were many carriages passing through the streets and alleys, all going to the same place.

"He has no respect in the palace, so he cannot enter the front hall. I heard that after the palace recruited the imperial physician, the Wei Ye Hall where the crown prince lived was sealed off, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave." Ming Qi frowned and looked at her. Although her face was calm, he knew that she was already in a panic inside. Thinking of his low status, he silently grabbed the curtain of the carriage.

"If you don't want the Crown Prince's illness to be exposed, there's nothing wrong with this." She said to herself.

Ming Qi said in a deep voice, "I heard that the Crown Prince went out of the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to observe the people's sentiments, and felt a little unwell right after returning to the palace. At first, they only summoned one imperial physician to see him, and later they summoned the entire Imperial Hospital, and later they brought in all the doctors with some reputation in Bianjing City. The two uncles own the well-known Yishan Hall, so they are naturally the first to be called in."
