Si Ning got on the palace carriage. Qiu Ju wanted to follow but was stopped by her father-in-law.
"The emperor has only declared Mrs. Lu, and no one else is allowed to follow."
Qiu Ju was stopped under the car, her brows full of anxiety.
She felt something was wrong, the reward came too suddenly.
But the emperor's orders are hard to disobey, and she, a little maid, can't influence anything.
Watching the carriage leave with worry, Qiu Ju wanted to follow but was stopped by Lu Zhiyuan.
"Qiu Ju, didn't you hear the emperor's decree? You can't follow, otherwise you will anger the emperor, and your heads will fall off!"
Qiu Ju looked at Lu Zhiyuan fiercely, and Lu Zhiyuan glared back at her disapprovingly, hugged Wu Qianqian and turned around to go back.
Li Xutang stepped forward and looked at Qiu Ju who was gloating about her misfortune.
"Do you know what this is called? Things have changed, your wife has harmed my eldest brother, and your good days have come to an end."
Li An came to her before the accident and asked her to take good care of Li Wenchang.
She didn't understand what he meant at the time, but later she heard that something had happened to her eldest brother and he was involved in a corruption case. The person who was trying the case was Jingzhao Prefecture Yin.
Others may not know the relationship between Jingzhao Prefecture Yin and her third uncle, but she does.
Xue Fang and Lu Hanxiao had a close relationship. When Lu Hanxiao was unconscious, Xue Fang came to the house several times, and she bumped into him all the time.
If there was no handwriting by Lu Hanxiao in this, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat Li Xutang to death.
But she couldn't do anything to Lu Hanxiao, and she couldn't touch Si Ning for the time being, so it was okay to take pleasure in his misfortune.
Qiu Ju was indignant, but Li Xutang turned around and left with a smile.
…
Si Ning was called to the Imperial Study Room alone. This was the third time she saw this person at the top of the imperial power.
The emperor looked calmly and Si Ning greeted him, but he just waved his hand.
Si Ning stood below, while the emperor sat on the dragon chair to deal with the piled up official documents.
After half an hour, the emperor raised his head and looked at Si Ning and said.
"I called you here today because I have something to tell you."
Si Ning, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"There is an epidemic spreading across the border. I have sent the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government and Zhou Yuanxuan to go there. Zhou Yuanxuan mentioned you and said that you have great medical skills and may have miraculous effects on the epidemic. I wonder if you are willing to go there. How about rescuing those innocent people at the border?"
Si Ning frowned, surprise flashing in his eyes.
She thought the emperor called her here because of Lu Hanxiao, but she didn't expect it to be this.
Lu Hanxiao has disappeared since entering the palace yesterday. Today, the emperor's reward was sent to the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion to invite him into the palace.
It seems that he deliberately avoided Lu Hanxiao, and Lu Hanxiao didn't know about this.
Si Ning's eyebrows turned cold, "Everything will be subject to the emperor's arrangements."
It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. Even if the emperor decrees that Si Ning should die, Si Ning cannot frown.
This is the fate of most people living in this era. It cannot be changed, and it is not to the point of breaking up.
Si Ning also wanted to go to the border to check the epidemic situation. If it was really the same as the epidemic in the previous life, she would have to give her prescription.
Si Ning did not refuse, and the emperor's expression became a little better.
"You are a sensible person. Don't worry, I will ask someone to go with you. I won't let anything happen to you."
Si Ning nodded, looking harmless.
The emperor looked at her thoughtfully, asked some insignificant matters, and then ordered someone to come in and take her down. He would go to the border today.
Until he left the palace, Si Ning didn't ask about Lu Hanxiao's whereabouts.
Some things are already obvious, and there is no need to provoke the emperor's fear.
"The Emperor has ordered someone to pack your luggage. The money and a change of clothes are in the carriage. Mrs. Lu can just get on the carriage."
A carriage was waiting for Si Ning at the gate of the palace. The father-in-law sent people to the gate of the palace and said respectfully.
Si Ning nodded his thanks and bent down to get on the carriage.
The carriage drove slowly towards the city gate.
"This trip should be very bad," Si Ning thought to himself while sitting in the carriage.
The emperor said that Zhou Zhengsheng and the emperor recommended her, and given the conflict between her and Zhou Zhengsheng, he would not be so kind.
The Yisheng Medical Center has stocked up on a lot of Prunella vulgaris, and I'm afraid it will lose more than half a cent.
Li Dawei would not sit still and wait for death, but after knowing Si Ning's identity, he would never act recklessly. It is very likely that he could use Zhou Zhengsheng's help to get rid of Si Ning.
And Zhou Zhengsheng’s grudge against Si Ning is no less intense than that of Li Da...
Si Ning was on guard, and Zhou Zhengsheng would most likely not let her go to the border alive.
Si Ning checked the baggage that the emperor had prepared for her. There were some pieces of silver and a few banknotes in it, and the rest was just a change of clothes and nothing else.
Si Ning stuffed the broken silver into his pocket, and put the banknotes and clothes back into the package.
She saw the right moment. The carriage passed a turn, surrounded by hillsides and woods. The carriage landed on the rocks. When it tilted slightly, Sining jumped out of the window.
Because the driving speed was not slow and the inertia during the turn, Sining turned around and hid in the woods.
She held her breath and waited for a while to make sure that the carriage had not turned back, then slowly stood up.
There was a pain in my ankle. It must have been sprained when I jumped out of the car.
I carefully checked my whole body and found that except for sprains and abrasions on my arms and ankles, everything else was fine.
When she just jumped out of the car, she protected her head with both hands. She only got a few cuts on her face from the branches and some superficial injuries.
Si Ning found a wooden stick and stood up with support.
Just as his feet landed on the ground, there was a slight sound, and at the same time subtle footsteps came.
The blood all over Si Ning's body froze together.
somebody is coming!
She placed the stick on one side and carefully explained the opponent's position.
He wondered in his mind whether the coachman saw her absence and came to look for her.
If we deal with people here, what are our chances of winning? We don’t know how skilled the other party is.
While concentrating, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Si Ning's body tensed up, ready to attack at any moment.
"lady……"
The familiar voice made Si Ning stiffen, and when he raised his eyes, he met a familiar gaze.
"Ma'am, how are you?"
Qiu Ju ran over and reached out to support Si Ning.
Si Ning relaxed and followed Qiu Ju's strength and leaned forward.
"No problem, why are you here?"
Compared with Si Ning's calmness, Qiu Ju was frightened and frightened. She held Si Ning's shoulders and turned her over and over.
"It's okay, don't worry." Si Ning slowly sat down.
She pulled off a piece of her skirt and asked Qiu Ju to find two pieces of wood to fix the injured ankle.
Qiu Ju looked worried, "Can I still leave?"
Si Ning nodded, "Let's go, leave here first."
Qiu Ju helped Si Ning out of the forest. There was a carriage parked on the side of the path, and the driver was Si Yihan.
Seeing two people coming out of the woods, they rushed to greet them.
"Ma'am, how are you?"
Si Yihan's face was full of worry. Seeing Si Ning shaking his head, he turned towards her and pointed his back towards her.
"Come up, I'll carry you there."
