Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 402 Equivalent Exchange
The people pulling Ning Erlan in the water didn't just want to pull her to the bottom of the water, that is to say, the ultimate goal of these people was not to drown her.

Seeing this, Ning Erlan didn't continue to struggle, this was in the water, even if she struggled, she couldn't break free from the restraint of these two people, so she simply saved her strength and was looking for an opportunity to escape.

Those two people took Ning Erlan to swim to a place, quickly passed through a dark water hole, and then broke through the water.

Ning Erlan pretended to be unconscious and was carried ashore by the two. While they were not paying attention, Ning Erlan silently looked at the situation here.

This side looks like a small garden. What they just left is just a small pond. Is this pond connected to the lotus pond over there?There was so much movement over there.But she couldn't hear a sound here.

A guard checked Ning Erlan's breath, felt that she was still alive, and then he felt relieved and carried her to a certain direction of the palace.

Ning Erlan squinted her eyes and looked at the places they passed. Why did she feel that the road became more and more familiar as she went down?

It looks like the Empress Dowager's Lixin Hall. Could it be that the Empress Dowager sent someone to arrest her?

This reminded her of the maid she met at the palace banquet last time. It seemed that the Empress Dowager had not given up the idea of ​​meeting her.

Sure enough, two guards walked in through the back door of Lixin Hall, where there were already maids waiting.

"No one found you along the way, did you?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Rong, everyone is busy working in the banquet hall, no one has noticed what's going on here."

"Okay, you go back first."

After the two guards left, the maid called Aunt Rong carried Ning Erlan to a small room, helped her take off her wet dress, and changed into a clean maid's dress.

"Princess Ling is awake? There is no need for the concubine to be so on guard. The queen mother just wants to tell you something when she sees you." After changing her clothes, Aunt Rong looked at Ning Erlan and said in a low voice.

Ning Erlan slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the face of a woman in her thirties.She was dressed in the attire of a maid of honor.

She remembered that Emperor Zhaowu had replaced all the cronies around the Queen Mother five years ago, how could there be people of her own around the Queen Mother now?

"Concubine Ling, please come with me." Aunt Rong walked out of the room, holding a food box in her hand and walking towards the front hall.

Ning Erlan looked around and decided to see what the Queen Mother wanted to do.

The front hall is not as wide as the backyard. There are many maids and nuns standing outside the front hall. Their faces are very serious, and they don't look like they are here to serve people.It seems to be here to monitor.Being able to insert her own people under such conditions, the queen mother's decades in the harem were not in vain.

Xu was a familiar face like Aunt Rong. When they entered, these people didn't have any suspicions.

As soon as she entered the hall, Ning Erlan smelled a strange smell, which smelled like meat, medicine, and sour.These tastes mixed together can only be described in two words, which is disgusting.

There were no maids serving in the palace, so Ning Erlan walked in and saw a person lying on the soft couch... a person who occupies a rather scary area...

In Ning Erlan's view, it was no longer a human being, and the pigs waiting to be slaughtered probably didn't have such a scary size.According to her visual inspection, three or four hundred catties was definitely underestimated.

Sensing someone walking in, that person slowly turned his head and looked at them.

When seeing that face, Ning Erlan was slightly taken aback.Although I had expected such a result for a long time, I was still a little surprised when I saw it with my own eyes.

"Queen Mother, it's been a long time." Ning Erlan had to say that the appearance of the Queen Mother really pleased her.He was so fat that his whole body was like a round pier, and he could hardly move except his head and limbs.

It's just that those eyes, when they saw Ning Erlan, couldn't help but gnash their teeth with hatred.

"Ning Erlan, you will hurt your family so much!" With just a few words, the Queen Mother was out of breath.

"The queen mother tried her best to 'invite' this concubine, what's the matter?" Ning Erlan didn't want to talk nonsense to her, her eyes passed the big fish and meat on the table, and then looked at the person who was spit out of filth A spittoon, and steaming concoction on the table.

Back then, she drugged the queen mother, so she would not live for more than two years.Now that she has lived for five years, it can be seen how cruel this old woman is to herself.

I couldn't help but want to eat meat, but I was afraid that I would kill myself, so after eating it, I tried my best to spit out the contents of my stomach.She also had to drink medicine every day. She couldn't figure out how she could persist in such days.

That is not a day or two, but several years!
"The Ai family wants you to kill Emperor Zhaowu!" The queen mother snorted coldly and said in a thick voice.

Seeing the domineering look of the queen mother, Ning Erlan almost laughed angrily, did she really think that she was the queen mother who wanted to be popular back then? "Queen Mother, do you know that there is a word in this world called equivalent exchange? You ask me to do something for you, so what do you use to tempt me and drive me to do it?"

"The Ai family can tell you the whereabouts of King Ming Zhao!" The queen mother squinted at Ning Erlan with eyes that were completely invisible.

Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows secretly, could it be that the queen mother has still been in touch with King Mingzhao all these years?
"Where King Ming Zhao is, the person who should be concerned is not me, but the emperor. I'm afraid the queen mother has found the wrong person."

"Ning Erlan, I'm afraid you don't know yet. There are changes in the palace tonight. If you bring the head of Emperor Zhaowu to the Ai family, the Ai family will protect you from death!" The queen mother has figured it out all these years, what kind of shit? A biological son, such a bullshit adopted son will be nothing in the end, and now she just wants to see the people she hates suffer.Seeing them die one by one in front of him!

King Mingzhao, his own son, she offended Emperor Zhaowu because of her back then, and ended up in today's end.But that Nizi, after escaping, didn't think of her situation as a mother at all, and even sent a letter back asking her to help him!But there was no mention of any word about her!

As a mother, at a difficult moment, her son didn't know how to worry about her but still thought about his hegemony, which made her heart completely cold.

Now she doesn't want to care about anything, she just wants to see all those who harmed her die!
The Empress Dowager looked at Ning Erlan with flickering eyes, the Ning Erlan in front of her was also going to die!She became what she is today, which can be said to be directly caused by this woman, how could she let go of the culprit.

However, she died only after she finished using her!
The hatred flickering in the Empress Dowager's eyes was not hidden, and Ning Erlan didn't think about whether the hatred was aimed at herself or Emperor Zhaowu.

Outside the hall is Emperor Zhaowu's people, if she just goes out like this, it is very likely that she will fall into Emperor Zhaowu's hands in the end.That would make it harder to escape.

"The Queen Mother knows that there is a change in the palace tonight?"

The queen mother only thought that Ning Erlan was moved by her words, and her expression became a little arrogant. "That's right, if you want to survive, you must listen to Aijia."

"The empress dowager's words are unfounded, how can I know whether it is true or not? The empress dowager should know that assassinating the emperor is a serious crime."

"The moment you entered the palace, the palace was surrounded by people. Even if Wei Lingxiao's kung fu is superb, it is impossible for you to resist so many people. Besides, your people are all outside the city. Do you think they can still fight?" Come into town?"

"Then how can the Queen Mother find a way to go out? Now you can't protect yourself."

"Hmph, the Ai family has its own way. You just need to bring the head of Emperor Zhaowu. The Ai family will also tell you the whereabouts of King Mingzhao."

"Did the Queen Mother ever think that your 'inviting' me over has caused quite a stir in the front hall?" She could imagine what it would be like if Wei Lingxiao couldn't find her.

"You know that if you agree to Aijia, Aijia will let you go immediately."

Ning Erlan lowered her eyes, making it hard to see the expression in her eyes. "Okay, I agree to the queen mother, but in order to show the sincerity of the queen mother, the queen mother should first tell me the whereabouts of King Mingzhao." She was also curious about where King Mingzhao was hiding.

"You are smart. But I don't know the specific Aijia, but Aijia can tell you that he is hiding in the capital of the Nanman Kingdom."

The capital of the Southern Barbarians?The courage of King Ming Zhao is really not small.Knowing that Nanman and Daqin were inseparable enemies, they chose to hide there.

"Okay. Let me trust the Queen Mother once. Now, can the Queen Mother send me back?"

"Don't play tricks on the Ai family, this skinny camel is bigger than a horse after all!" The queen mother still threatened Ning Erlan when she left.

"Princess, please change into your clothes."

Ning Erlan changed back into her wet clothes, and another guard swam back to the place where she came and went.

When Ning Erlan broke through the water, she felt a powerful force lift her up from the water, and then she fell into a familiar embrace.

When he looked up, he bumped into a pair of dark eyes full of worry. "Ling Xiao."

Wei Lingxiao had been watching everyone on the shore just now, he didn't know water and couldn't get into the water, but as time went by, his heart became more and more constricted.People have even started to let the water out of the pond.

"Lan'er, how do you feel?" Wei Lingxiao hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if she would disappear in the next second.

Feeling the trembling of Wei Lingxiao's body, Ning Erlan squeezed his palm, and whispered something in his ear.This eased his mood a little.He took off his robe, hugged her, and walked towards the side hall.

Wei Ziming rushed over and frowned at the chaotic scene in front of him.

"What happened?"

"Back to Second Prince, Princess Ling and Mrs. Zhao..." Someone came out and sorted out the matter and told Wei Ziming.

Hearing this, Wei Ziming's eyes became dim.The fists in the sleeves clenched unconsciously.
