Chapter 257 Palace Invitation
Ran Shaotang thought for a moment, put the apricot kernels on the table into his palm, and then said, "I still have time to go to Zhou Rao. There are a few important things now, so you can arrange them first."
Qin Xiaoyue put away her joking thoughts and listened carefully to Ran Shaotang's instructions.
"The first thing is to send someone to stare at Chen Weiyong. No matter what he does or who he sees, he must report it to me in detail."
Qin Xiaoyue nodded and said yes.
Ran Shaotang continued: "The second thing continues to look for Song Ao and Wu Yan. There has been no news since the last time the Liyuan fire disappeared. I have a feeling that their disappearance is related to Nan Yunguo. You follow this clue."
Qin Xiaoyue thought about it and agreed.
"The third thing is that you send a few elite troops to Zhou Raoguo and check a man named Mengbu. This person is difficult to find, so you have to cast a net."
Qin Xiaoyue asked: "Does this person have any characteristics?"
"No characteristics. To be precise, I don't know this person either." In the first life, she only heard these two words before her death. The Shen family seemed particularly afraid.
This did not stump Qin Xiaoyue. She solemnly promised: "It doesn't matter, I will screen out all the people named Zhou Raoguo first."
Two days later, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Ran family received an imperial edict, and the palace summoned the Ran brothers and sisters to the palace to celebrate the festival.
Since Yu Ruoxian received the imperial edict, her mind that had been restless has calmed down.
Although she didn't know what she was thinking in the palace, she decided to respond to changes in the same way and prevent Shaotang from entering the palace.
She discussed with Yan Jiang and asked Shao Shang to go to the palace to handle the errands. She told the public that Shao Tang had a cold and was infected with the nobles and stopped going.
Since the story of Ran Shaoxuan’s east window was revealed, Yu Ruoxian has not let Ran Wen enter her yard.
Ran Wen also knew that he was ashamed of what he did, so he simply lived in the study and sent Ran Feng to greet him three times a day. Yu Ruoxian was not annoyed, and Yan Jiang felt that he was too nagging and thought of a way to persuade the couple to reconcile.
When she heard Yu Ruoxian’s plan, she thought that the opportunity had come.
"Why go and discuss it with the lord. The big idea is to ask him to take it. If the palace is not good enough, send an imperial physician to treat the eldest son, which will be even more troublesome."
Yu Ruoxian disagreed: "What's the difficulty? It's rare to pretend to be a disease. People from the Medicine King Sect?"
Yan Jiang heard that her tone was still full of anger. He knew that the general was going to suffer some pain in the study, so he stopped persuading him.
However, when Yu Ruoxian's decision informed Ran Shaotang, she rejected Yu Ruoxian's good intentions.
"My mother, I can hide some things this time, but I can't hide the next time. This matter is obviously for me. I used to be young and allowed to protect my parents. Now, after all, the child is the leader of Xinglin. Will he be afraid of the ghosts and monsters in the palace? Then, I am the leader of the alliance, so I am too cowardly."
That day, when the eldest princess looked at her, she had a premonition that this woman would do everything possible to cause trouble for herself.
Xuanyuan Xiang could not make things difficult for her in the Ran family, but she was in vain to use her power in the palace to make her suffer.
How could she not give Xuanyuan Xiang a chance?
Besides, she also wanted to go to the palace to see the childhood sweetheart of Zhong Jiuchou. Shi Hanzhang could do the marriage, so she must be a person who is not afraid to underestimate.
Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win every battle. You are worried that you can't find a reason to enter the palace.
How could she refuse the opportunity to come to her door?
Yu Ruoxian firmly disagrees with her taking the risk: "Your identity is so sensitive. If the other party catches the handle, the whole family of the Ran family, including you, will suffer."
