Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Bi'an and Jiuling were frightened when they saw Yuan Ruolan kneeling on the ground, and they knelt down hurriedly. The three of them knelt face to face, and the scene was inexplicably funny.

Jin Liu, who had been hiding in the dark outside the palace wall, put his hand on his shoulder, shook his head and sighed.

Jiuling was finally more reliable. Realizing that was not the place to talk, he quickly pulled Yuan Ruolan to the back. Mingqi, who had been watching from the side, saw this and thought that they were going to murder Yuan Ruolan. Without having time to think about it, he dragged his injured leg and chased after them.

Bi'an restrained him and secretly took him to a corner. Seeing that he was still struggling, he said coldly: "Wait here for a while. My master and his wife have something to say! If you behave yourself, everyone will be fine. If you alarm the imperial guards, we will all die together!"

Mingqi's face was pressed against the cold bluestone slab. Although the slab at the palace gate was smoother than other places, it still scratched his face easily. Enduring the pain, he turned his head and vaguely saw a black shadow saluting Yuan Ruolan. Only then did he calm down, and he suddenly realized that the person might be Hongze.

In the alley, Yuan Ruolan saw Hongze bowing to her, and hurriedly said, "Sir, please introduce me and allow me to enter the palace to treat the crown prince."

Hongze glanced around and whispered, "Madam, the Crown Prince has passed away. The Empress, who has been looking after the young prince in the inner hall, is also on the verge of death. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would be powerless to save her!"

Thinking that her two younger brothers might no longer have any hope of survival, Yuan Ruolan felt a darkness before her eyes. She panicked and her whole body went limp. She leaned against the wall weakly, but she could no longer hold on to anything. The needle box in her hand fell to the ground, and the silver needles scattered, flashing white light.

"Madam, you must never enter the palace again!" He said with a blazing gaze, emphasizing each word, "I guarantee with my life that I will send the two uncles back safely."

Yuan Ruolan's heart was shocked. If it was an ordinary matter, he, as the son of an earl and a third-rank official serving in the imperial court, would naturally be invincible. But now that the crown prince had died, not to mention him, even his father, the marquis Ningyuan, could not resist.

Thinking of the masculine, majestic, and tall man in front of her who was in love with her daughter, not only did they love each other so much that others would envy them, but they could also stand up for her at a time like this, Yuan Ruolan felt that her heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally put down. She held his hand and whispered, "Good child, I know you are a good person. Anan has a stubborn temper, so please bear with me in the future. Now that I have you, I will be relieved even if I die."

Yuan Ruolan, who couldn't bear to implicate even the doctor at home, would rather die than implicate her daughter's lover.

This was not a place where one could have a good conversation, and seeing that Yuan Ruolan was so stubborn, he looked up and saw several alert imperial guards looking this way, so he raised his hand and gently patted Yuan Ruolan on the back of the neck.

Yuan Ruolan lost consciousness instantly. While supporting Yuan Ruolan, he signaled Bi'an to let Mingqi go.

Mingqi crawled over and took Yuan Ruolan, while looking up at him and Jin Liu.

Hongze whispered, "Keep an eye on Madam and the Yuan family, and don't cause any more trouble. I will take care of the things inside, and will not let anything happen to the two uncles."

Jin Liu also said: "Yes, don't worry, I'm here for you!"

Mingqi hesitated for a moment. As a person who had been well versed in the art of survival since childhood, he had no way of entrusting his fate to the hands of others. However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to trust them.
