Chapter 227 Saved
Leng Qingyu was stunned for a moment.
"Wasn't Xinran talking to you guys here? I just spilled some tea on myself and went to the back to change, so I didn't see her."
Chen Yueting was shocked when he heard this.
"But just now, a maid from the Marquis' Mansion said that you had a headache, so she took Miss Lu away!"
"Take it away? Where did you take it to?"
Leng Qingyu also had a bad feeling.
She didn't expect that even though they were so careful, something would go wrong at Prince Rui's Mansion.
Blame her!
It was she who insisted that Ding Qiao stay at home today to keep an eye on the movements of the Marquis and the old lady. If Ding Qiao was there, Xin Ran would definitely be fine.
But now was not the time to blame herself, so she calmed herself down and asked, "How long have you been gone?"
Chen Yueting: "It's almost half an incense stick of time."
"Hurry up and send someone to search everywhere!" Leng Qingyu said anxiously.
After saying this, she immediately regretted it and said, "No, I want to go find it myself."
"Mom, I'll go with you!"
Lu Zhiyi stood up immediately, his voice trembling with excitement.
"No need, you stay here!" Leng Qingyu said expressionlessly.
"But mother..."
Lu Zhiyi was unwilling and wanted to step forward, but Chen Yuerong stood up and said, "Are you deaf? Madam Lu asked you to wait here!"
"I must go!"
Lu Zhiyi took two steps forward, but this time Chen Yuerong didn't say a word. She just grabbed her hair and pulled her back.
Everyone present saw it and thought something had happened, so they all looked over here.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
"nothing!"
Chen Yuerong said loudly: "We are playing together, right, Miss Lu Er?"
With tears in her eyes, Lu Zhiyi saw that Chen Yueting had already walked away with Leng Qingyu, so she nodded and said, "Well, the little princess played a joke on me."
"Oh! You must be kidding!"
Everybody laughed.
"The princess is still able to joke with Miss Lu Er. Has her anger just now subsided?"
Chen Yuerong looked at the person who asked the question: "Which eye of yours saw that I was no longer angry? Go ask the doctor to check if you are blind!"
Everyone fell silent again.
……
Leng Qingyu went to the backyard accompanied by Chen Yueting. They did not let any servants follow them. Only one of Chen Yueting's confidants followed them.
Walking along the cobblestone path, they asked several servants working in the backyard, and they all said that they had not seen anyone coming this way.
The further Chen Yueting walked, the colder he felt.
When they arrived at the pond, the maidservant by the pond also said that she had not seen anyone. She looked at Leng Qingyu with a serious face and said, "Madam Leng, there is no one here. I suspect that Miss Lu is in Fu'an Courtyard."
"Then let's go over and take a look." Leng Qingyu was anxious.
Chen Yueting's face was grim, and he said with difficulty: "Fu'an Courtyard is where my brother lives, Madam must be mentally prepared."
Prince Rui's only son is somewhat mentally retarded, and everyone in the capital knows about it.
But I don’t know the specific reason.
Chen Yan was born on the battlefield.
At that time, Prince Rui led his troops south, and his wife was also a secretary in the army.
She has practiced martial arts since she was young and never felt that women are weaker than men.
So over the years since their marriage, except when Chen Yueting was born, she has always followed the prince into battle to kill the enemy.
But this time when she arrived at the battlefield, Mrs. Rui discovered that she was almost two months pregnant.
At that time, there was war in southern Xinjiang and the people were displaced. Prince Rui was worried about his wife returning to the capital alone, so he had to keep her in the tent and wait for the army to return.
As a result, the battle lasted for more than a year.
The wife of King Rui was also forced to imprison Chen Yan in the garrison's tent.
Chen Yan was a normal child when he was born.
During an enemy attack, Chen Yan fell off his horse in the chaos of fighting and had a high fever the next day.
The high fever lasted for three full days.
Three days later, although little Chen Yan woke up, his eyes were dull.
Lady Rui wanted to take her back to the capital to seek medical treatment from the imperial physician, but the enemy made a comeback and they were forced to stay in southern Xinjiang for another two months.
By the time the army returned to the capital and sought treatment from the imperial physician, three full months had passed since Chen Yan fell off his horse.
The doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau took turns visiting the palace every day to see the young prince, but none of them could guarantee a cure. They could only prescribe some medicine to try.
Chen Yan took the medicine for seven years, but there was no sign of improvement.
It was not until he was eight years old that the wife of King Rui completely gave up hope and stopped all his medicine.
At this time, Chen Yuerong had grown up and could help her brother wipe his saliva.
But ever since Chen Yan stopped taking the medicine, Mrs. Rui's health has been getting worse and worse.
He passed away half a year later.
The only thing she couldn't let go of before she died was this silly son.
She felt sorry for the child and hoped that the prince would treat him well.
After his wife passed away, the prince never remarried. Both the prince and Chen Yueting and her sister treated Chen Yan like a treasure.
Until today, although Chen Yan showed no signs of improvement and had to be locked in the yard every day, the prince still did not give up.
Thinking that someone dared to target Chen Yan, Chen Yueting wanted to kill him.
"Madam Leng, I know you love your daughter, but my brother has had a bad brain since he was a child. If he sees something bad later, you must not get excited.
My brother doesn't know anything, and our palace will be responsible for any problems that arise with Miss Lu."
Leng Qingyu almost fainted when he heard Chen Yueting say this.
Nothing will happen to Xinran, nothing must happen to Xinran!
Leng Qingyu walked forward tremblingly, and his heart sank a little with every step.
Not until she was not far from Fu'an Courtyard did she see a man standing on the courtyard wall from a distance.
It was Ye Xinran.
Leng Qingyu's eyes immediately turned red.
The joy of regaining what I had lost surged in my heart.
"Xinran, why are you standing so high? Don't move, wait for mom to pick you up!"
When Leng Qingyu and the others arrived, Ye Xinran had just climbed to the top of the wall.
Seeing someone coming, she almost retreated again.
It wasn't until she saw Leng Qingyu among the visitors that she finally felt relieved.
After so long of finding her relatives, this is the first time she is so eager to see them.
"mother!"
"mother!"
These two calls of "Mom" almost broke Leng Qingyu's heart.
Fortunately, her daughter was fine. If anything happened to Ye Xinran, she would never have peace in her life.
"Mom is here!"
Leng Qingyu walked quickly forward, walked to the wall, stretched out his hands and made a gesture to continue, saying: "Be careful, don't fall down."
Chen Yueting glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid understood what he meant and ran away immediately.
After a while, a servant came over carrying a ladder.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Xinran slowly climbed down the ladder.
