Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine
Chapter 16: Xifeng Tower, meeting Xie Yunyan again!
At night, when everyone in the Gu family fell asleep, Xie Ling sneaked out.
There is no curfew in Beijiang State, and Baishui Town is still very lively at night.
The buildings are surrounded by colorful lights, the streets are full of pedestrians, various vendors are hawking their wares, and there are many late-night snacks for sale, the fragrance of which can be smelled from miles away.
Xie Ling thought about it, bought a curtain on the street and wore it to cover her body.
Then he stopped a passerby to ask for directions and went straight to Xifeng Tower.
From a distance, I saw a tall building with big red lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying in the cold wind.
The further you go in, the more people there are, and at a glance, all you can see are black heads.
Xie Ling was petite and was squeezed here and there, almost to the point of being squeezed into a human body. She couldn't even see the entrance to Xifeng Tower.
She made a prompt decision and squeezed out, then walked around and came to the back of Xifeng Building.
There is a river behind Xifeng Tower. At this moment, many people are standing by the river, waiting for the boatman to take them across.
It seems that there are many people who share the same idea as Xie Ling.
"I am a beautiful lady, why can't I go first?"
A familiar voice attracted Xie Ling's attention.
She lifted a corner of the fence and looked in the direction of the sound.
A slim girl in brocade clothes stood on the shore with an arrogant look on her face.
Hey, isn’t this our old friend Xie Yunyan?
Glancing at Xie Yunyan's hair and veiled face, Xie Ling instantly understood the purpose of her coming to Xifeng Tower.
Xie Yunyan crossed her arms and looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of her, her beautiful eyes full of disdain.
The man was not to be outdone and said angrily: "Everyone is the same in front of Mingyue Island, no matter if they are rich or poor. I came to the river before you, so of course I will go before you. You are too unreasonable, little girl."
Xie Yunyan sneered and gave a look to the guards around her. The next moment, the man was lifted high up and thrown into the river.
“That’s my reasoning.”
In winter, the river water is icy cold.
The man struggled in the river and finally climbed out. He was so cold that he didn't even have the strength to speak. He pointed at Xie Yunyan with trembling hands.
Xie Yunyan didn't even look at the man, she just lifted her skirt and got on the boat.
Normally, a boat can carry seven or eight people, but Xie Yunyan's guards stood at the bow with their arms folded, looking aggressive, as if they wanted to occupy the entire boat.
Those people on the shore dared not speak out.
Seeing that the boat was about to leave, Xie Ling jumped onto the boat in one leap.
The two guards at the bow were very shocked. How could this woman be so tactless?
Just as she was about to throw her into the river, Xie Yunyan waved her hand impatiently, "Don't throw her, just let this little bitch go with you. There are many powerful people in Xifeng Tower today, and I don't know how many children of noble families are on the shore. Don't make things worse."
After saying that, he glanced at Xie Ling coldly and said sarcastically, "You are really brave."
Xie Yunyan didn't recognize Xie Ling.
The thick gauze of the veil that Xie Ling wore hung down from the brim of her hat, covering her entire body. Even Aunt An would not be able to recognize her.
At this time, the boat was just in the middle of the river. Xie Ling sneered and lowered her voice: "The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so arrogant."
Xie Yunyan's face turned pale. This woman actually recognized her!
The image she has established in Beijing has always been that of a gentle and decent lady from a noble family. Today, she only dared to be a little arrogant because she wore a veil.
Who is this woman?
Without Xie Yunyan's signal, the two guards walked towards Xie Ling with murderous intent in their eyes.
Xie Yunyan sneered in her heart. She had never seen such a stupid person. Isn't it just walking into a trap to say it out loud?
At the same time, she felt a little scared, fortunately she met a stupid guy!
Since this woman was able to recognize her, she must be a noble lady in the capital, or at least a maid of a noble lady in the capital.
If I spread the news of today's incident after returning to Beijing, wouldn't my father beat me to death? Not to mention marrying into the Eastern Palace.
Looking at the burly man with a fierce look on his face, Xie Ling had already prepared the silver needle in her hand.
At first, she just wanted to teach her a lesson, but now that they meet again by chance, Xie Ling will not show mercy.
There was a flash of silver light, and Xie Yunyan and her maids and servants all collapsed to the ground.
Xie Ling kicked them all into the river in disgust.
The boatman looked back in horror and saw only a figure with a fence, while everyone else had sunk into the water.
Xie Ling stuffed a silver ingot into his hand and said coldly, "Mind your own business, and you will live longer."
The boatman swallowed and dared not speak.
After Xie Ling left, the boatman couldn't bear it and went back to fish out Xie Yunyan and her subordinates.
They woke up the next day.
But after Xie Yunyan woke up, in order to preserve her reputation, she asked the guards to kill the boatman.
I wonder if the boatman would remember Xie Ling’s warning before he died.
"Mind your own business, and you will live longer."
Not to mention the boatman, when Xie Ling arrived at the entrance of Xifeng Tower, she found out that there was a fee to enter.
One thousand taels of silver!
This sky-high price can indeed deter many ordinary people, otherwise the threshold of Xifeng Tower would be trampled down.
Xie Ling took out one thousand taels of silver from the space and handed it over with a painful heart.
I just hope this trip is worth a thousand taels.
Xie Ling entered the first door and found that there was a second door.
A man who looked like a shopkeeper explained, "Everyone, one thousand taels is just the entrance ticket. If you want a seat near the front, you have to pay more."
Xie Ling came here to listen to Mingyue Island's medical insights. There were no microphones in ancient times, and if she sat in the back, she might not be able to see his face clearly.
Therefore, she reluctantly took out five hundred taels of silver notes from the space and bought a seat closer to the front. As for the seat at the front, she was reluctant to give it up.
Xie Ling sat down and found that there were all kinds of people around him, not only powerful people, but also some gangsters.
She was originally afraid that she would attract attention wearing the veil, but after looking around, she found that her outfit was quite ordinary.
As soon as I sat down, a distant and ethereal flute sound came from the high platform in front.
In mid-air, petals were falling and white silk was hanging from the roof. Two white shadows slid down on the silk, looking ethereal yet carrying a cold murderous aura.
Then, several people wearing the same white clothes walked out from behind Bai Ling.
Everyone around exclaimed in amazement, marveling at how otherworldly Mingyue Island was.
Xie Ling was so annoyed that she muttered, "What a pretentious person! He just walked out, throwing flowers and playing the flute..."
"Miss, you are right. But what does the word 'pretentious' mean?"
An extremely pleasant voice sounded beside me.
Xie Ling turned her head to look over. The man was wearing a black and gold robe, with a tall figure, leaning lazily on the back of a chair.
Even with a golden mask covering his entire face, it still couldn't hide his noble demeanor. A casual glance from his narrow eyes revealed his extraordinary elegance.
Xie Ling felt a little embarrassed after being caught saying bad things.
"Pretending to be cool means that Yuedao is ethereal and otherworldly, like a living god."
The man chuckled softly, like the sound of mountain spring water hitting cold stone, clear and magnetic, his eyes were full of interest.
"The girl is really interesting."
At this moment, a woman in a red gauze skirt came over and gave each person a wooden sign.
The woman smiled gently, "There is a number on this card. The doctors of Mingyue Island will randomly draw it later, and those with the same number can go up for treatment."
When the woman's eyes fell on the man in black, she paused without noticing.
She has met countless people and all kinds of people.
But there are not many people as aggressive as this man. He has a sharp temperament and the pair of glass-colored eyes behind the mask are indifferent and distant, as if a god is overlooking the world.
Such a man is very dangerous. The woman didn't dare to look at him for too long and quickly looked away.
After taking two steps, she couldn't help but look back, only to see that the man who had been as cold as ice just now now had a smile in his eyes, and he was looking tenderly at the person beside him who was wearing a veil and whose figure could not be seen clearly.
The woman was very surprised. She didn't expect that such a cold man could show such a gentle look.
But the next second, the man's cold gaze turned around, with hidden pressure, and fell on her through the air.
She was almost unable to breathe from the cold look and left in a hurry.
