The queen died unjustly and was reborn as the empress.

The boy was the doctor he hired with a name card from Mr. Bai's family. His medical skills were naturally good. The reason why he left without saying this was because Chen Mingtan's condition was too strange.

It was true that he was suffering from weakness, but his weakness was abnormal. In the short time he took his pulse, his body was rapidly weakening as if it had been swallowed by something. There was nothing he could do.

Yes, Bai Lan injected Chen Mingtan with not only an anesthetic injection, but also an atrophy injection, a medicine that can quickly shrink a certain part of the body, nicknamed "Eunuch Needle".

In those days, this kind of medicine was specially used to deal with unscrupulous people. In a few days, Chen Mingtan would become a veritable eunuch.

This kind of pharmacological change cannot be detected without instruments, let alone ancient doctors who have no scientific means.

At this time, the servants who had dispersed to look for people came back one after another, all shaking their heads.

Bai Mei couldn't believe it. She was unwilling to let Bai Lan escape like this. Looking at her uncle sleeping motionless on the ground, she really wanted to go up and kick him a few times. If he failed, he would fail.

It was Mrs. Zheng who had to be calm when faced with trouble. She looked around, her face suddenly turned frightened, and she shouted, "Where's the eldest lady? Where did the eldest lady go? Could it be that the gangster kidnapped the eldest lady!"

Everyone was paying attention to the criminal and the man on the ground, but they didn't expect who was there and who wasn't there.

Such a big thing happened at home. Everyone who was supposed to come from all the courtyards had already arrived, but Bai Lan was the only one missing. The old lady's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.

As the legitimate daughter of a former imperial master, she has never seen anything like this. The most important thing at the moment is not to catch the bad guy but to protect Bai Lan's reputation. In this era, a woman's reputation is more important than anything else. If she is not careful, she will... Take it all.

The old lady banged her dove stick on the ground and scolded Mrs. Zheng: "Shut up! My eldest lady is something you, a concubine, can discuss at will!"

The status of concubines is extremely low. They can be bought or sold, just like servants. Their status is not as good as that of their own children, and they are not qualified to discuss the legitimate daughters of the family.

Everyone nodded and showed their dissatisfaction with Zheng.

Zheng immediately shut up after being yelled at by the old lady. Bai Mei stepped forward and said, "Grandma, please don't be angry. My dear, she was too anxious and lost her sense of control. This gangster injured my uncle, and now I don't know where he is hiding." , why don’t you ask some women to go and see the eldest sister, so that we can feel at ease.”

After some thought, the old lady turned her head and looked at Aunt Zhao, who understood and walked towards Canglanxuan alone.

At this moment, the man lying on the ground finally reacted and opened his eyes after humming.

When he saw that there were women of all ages gathered around him, he felt much relieved. He ignored the pain caused by his physical changes and sat up, but before he could speak, Zheng was the first to speak.

"Cousin, please tell me what happened at that time. Were you injured by an assassin?"

When she mentioned the word "assassin", Zheng emphasized her tone and winked at him.

Everyone leaned closer and waited for the man to speak. After Chen Mingtan coughed a few times, he said weakly: "I met Lan'er in the garden."

Everyone couldn't help but frown at Lan'er's shout, but no one cared about it at this time and continued to listen to him.

"I don't know what happened. My legs hurt and I fell down. There are assassins, there really are assassins! Lan'er is in danger! Everyone, go and save her."

What he said was sincere, and Mrs. Zheng was confused. This cousin didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that there was really an assassin in the house?

Injured him and kidnapped Bai Lan? A burst of joy welled up in my heart.

Suddenly a wave of heat rushed to the old lady's head, and her legs softened and she fell back. Fortunately, there was a woman standing behind her who could hold the old lady firmly. Her Lan'er, her Lan'er was in danger.

Bai Mei cried loudly, "Grandma, please report it to the official. It's a big deal to lose a noble daughter in the capital..."

No matter how calm the old lady was, she was no longer calm now, and urged He Wang urgently: "Go and call the master back!"

"What happened at home that we need to report to the official?"

A crisp and hearty voice came from the direction of a small door in the garden. Bai Mei was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She pointed with trembling fingers in the direction of the voice: "You, you, you, why are you here?"

Bai Lan laughed: "Why can't I be here? This is my home."

"Didn't the assassin capture you?"

As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he quickly softened his tone and continued: "Uncle said that he was knocked unconscious by the assassin, and my eldest sister was beside me at the time... Is my sister okay?"

Bai Mei stared at Bai Lan with an inquiring look on her face, trying to find the fear and guilt in her eyes, but after searching for a long time, she could only find a trace of confusion. What was she confused about?

Bai Lan looked at the man on the ground and asked in confusion: "Uncle? Lan'er remembers her mother saying that Lan'er only has one uncle from the Wang family. Who is he?"

Lu, who had been standing aside for a long time without speaking, said, "Miss Third, please remember your identity. This person is an outsider."

In ancient times, concubines had a low status. The children in the family only recognized the wife's family, and their uncles could only be the brothers of the wife.

Bai Lan's eyes shifted from the man to Bai Mei, turning from puzzled to sharp, like a sharp ice pick piercing her.

Bai Mei couldn't help but shudder, and her body froze as if she had entered an ice cellar.

Bai Lan spoke again, her tone still calm, "Why is my sister so sure that I was captured by an assassin?"

Bai Mei took a cold breath, feeling that the clear things planned for today had been thrown into chaos.

She forced herself to calm down: "He said he was with you. If he was attacked, you would be taken away naturally."

Bai Lan nodded, "That's it!"

Then he pointed at the man on the ground and shouted loudly: "I have never met you, why do you keep saying you are with me, and then fabricate lies out of thin air that I was captured by assassins? You are deliberately trying to ruin my reputation!"

Everyone's thoughts were brought back by Bai Lan's words. Yes, from the beginning to the end, this man and Zheng's mother and daughter were talking about the assassin entering the house, which led everyone's thoughts astray.

Bai Mei even clamored to report it to the official. Once word spread that the eldest lady was kidnapped, even if everything was fine, her life would be over.

Thinking of this, everyone broke into a cold sweat and the old lady was very angry.

The twists and turns in the backyard were nothing more than concubines fighting for favor, and now they used such insidious means to ruin the reputation of a girl who hadn't even had hair extensions yet.

She immediately knocked down the dove, glared at Zheng, and shouted at the man on the ground: "Tell me the truth, who told you to do this!"

Chen Mingtan was just a prodigal wandering around the flower streets and willow lanes. He had never seen such a powerful person as the old lady. He was so frightened that he couldn't sit still and fell to the side.

He didn't understand why no one believed him if he was really attacked. He emphasized again with a trembling voice: "Old lady Mingjian, I was with the eldest lady, and my leg was injured. "As he said that, he lifted up his trouser legs to look for injuries.

Bailan's needles are so thin that most people cannot see the needle holes on the skin. Moreover, the injection is made of special substances. After entering the human body, it will integrate into human cells and decompose on its own, making it impossible to detect any abnormalities in the body.

Chen Mingtan searched for a long time but could not find any injuries, nor any discomfort caused by foreign objects in his legs. He was completely confused. Everything was as terrifying as a nightmare.
