Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Ming Qi continued, "He said that three days ago, the Imperial Guards started to burn thick smoke with mugwort and walked around the Wei Ye Palace. Later, people were burning thick smoke everywhere, and the entire palace was filled with smoke."

Yuan Ruolan's heart sank, and she silently took out an old bag from the cabinet behind her.

This bag was given to her by her master when she was a teenager studying medicine in Qingcheng Mountain. It is made of pure silver and comes in various sizes.

This was what Mingqi was most worried about. While waiting for Yuan Ruolan at the door, he hesitated countless times between saying it and not saying it. He even felt ashamed and annoyed that he could not bear such a great difficulty. In the end, the moment he saw her, he still said it.

If he really didn't tell her, he was afraid that she would hate him.

Ming Qi, who knew Yuan Ruolan's personality well, knew that he couldn't persuade him, but he still said solemnly: "He sent someone to bring me a message tonight, which was a risk. Although he didn't say it, the general meaning was that we should leave quickly, fearing that he would be furious and implicate all the nine clans."

Yuan Ruolan's slender fingers slowly slid across the cloth bag containing the silver needles in her hand, and whispered, "Money is only a part of our body. Right now, saving our lives is the most important thing."

Yuan Ruolan's thoughts were wavering with the old things, but her determination to enter the palace to rescue the emperor was unshakable.

"Madam, you haven't given acupuncture for many years. Why don't I go back and call some doctors with superb medical skills to come in together? I think someone must have a solution." Mingqi looked at her. He had expected her to do this, but he couldn't bear the pain.

Her face turned paler and she raised her head and smiled slightly, whispering, "It's dangerous to go there, and we don't want to involve other people and lose their lives in vain."

Mingqi felt as if his heart was torn into pieces in an instant. It hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He could only watch her.

No matter how long the journey is, it will eventually end. The carriage slowly stopped at the palace gate. It was still late at night, but the gate was already full of carriages.

Yuan Ruolan made up her mind, so she held the box in her hand and said to Mingqi, "Send away all the servants immediately and take everyone away. Unless you have definite information, you must not rush out."

Mingqi's throat was dry, his eyes were bloodshot, and he nodded silently.

Yuan Ruolan was very satisfied, and then said: "If I can't come back, tell Anan that he must take good care of the two aunts and Xiaofu, and provide for the two nurses Su and Li, and must not treat the elderly left by my grandfather harshly."

Mingqi's eyes were red, he didn't care about so many things anymore, he just reached out and held her. Her slender arm was just so small in his big hand, which looked so pitiful, which made Mingqi's heart ache. He knelt down with a plop, begging bitterly in tears: "Madam, don't go, please, I beg you..."

Yuan Ruolan also shed tears, but she did not hesitate at all. She gently patted Mingqi's head and whispered, "Mingqi, I entrust everything to you."

After saying that, she pushed him away, opened the door, jumped down on the step stool brought out by the coachman, and walked quickly to the palace gate. At this time, there was a long queue of people at the gate, and the guards at the gate were checking them one by one. Everyone was whispering to each other, their faces were flustered and solemn, and the scene was in chaos and no one paid attention to her.

Jiuling and Bi'an appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.

Yuan Ruolan had never seen them before, and thought they were secret guards in the palace, so she simply knelt down, held up the acupuncture box with both hands, and raised it high above her head, saying, "I, Yuan, have learned acupuncture since I was young, and I have quite a lot of experience, especially in treating plague. Now I want to come to the palace to offer my medical services. If my medical skills are not good enough, I am willing to die to apologize!"
