The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 256: Set out for Beiling again

"How can anyone feel at ease if a woman like you goes so far alone?" The old princess frowned slightly, "Why not leave the matter to Jingxi or your third uncle?"

He Jingxi heard this and waved his hands: "Grandma, I can't do this job."

"Yes!" He Zhiyuan also said, "He family affairs have always been managed by Ruoyi. I don't know much about Beiling's business dealings, so it's better not to interfere."

The old princess glared at them secretly, and after hearing their refusal, she had no choice but to give up.

However, before Shang Ruoyi left, she gave her many instructions.

"As a woman, it is best not to show up in public. If there is anything to do, try to let the servants do it." The old princess whispered, "lest you lose your status for nothing."

"Grandma, why can't a woman show her face in public?" She raised her chin slightly, a faint cold light flashing in her eyes: "The so-called status is given by oneself. If you are disturbed by the eyes of the world and live under the eyes and discussions of others all day long, what's the point? There is an old saying: Enjoy yourself and have fun, sit in a banquet with the guests, the scene cannot be retained, life is like a turning tumbleweed, it is better to achieve it early than late, and it is shameful to be compared with an old fisherman. People should live happily and sing wildly. Grandma, what do you think?"

The old princess looked at her and murmured, "Time cannot be retained, life is like a rolling tumbleweed." After a while, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "I am an old man, but I am not as clear-headed as a little kid like you."

"Yes, mother, although Ruoyi is young, her insights are extraordinary." Qin said with a smile: "I feel most at ease leaving the He family to her."

"Come with me." The old princess took her to the inner room, took out a box from the cabinet, opened it, and found a ring inside.

Shang Ruoyi's pupils shrank slightly. This was exactly the same as the one He Jingheng gave her.

When the old princess saw her expression, she knew that she had seen this ring before.

"Haha, it seems that Jing Heng has already handed the ring to you." The old princess said with a smile: "In this way, he has recognized your position as mistress from the bottom of his heart."

"Grandma, what on earth is this?"

The old princess took out the ring and placed it in Shang Ruoyi's palm: "From today on, the He family is really handed over to you." The old princess said solemnly: "There are two rings in the Dingguo Palace. One can command thousands of troops, and the other is the key to the underground palace."

"Underground Palace?"

"Yes, I don't know what is in the underground palace. When your grandfather handed it to me, he only said that it was of great importance and must be kept properly."

Shang Ruoyi was a little confused: "Then why don't you give this ring to mother?"

The old princess shook her head and said, "Your mother-in-law is weak by nature. Even a concubine dares to climb over her head. If such an important thing was entrusted to her for safekeeping, it would have disappeared long ago."

"Grandma, I can't accept such an important thing." Shang Ruoyi refused and said, "I'd rather leave it with you."

"Child, grandma is old, and I don't know how long she can live. Don't worry about tomorrow. If something happens and no one inherits this ring, there will be a big mess." The old princess put the ring in her hand and said, "Now that I have handed this thing to you, it means that I recognize you. You will really be in charge of everything in Dingguo Palace."

Shang Ruoyi nodded and put the ring away after hearing this: "Grandma, don't worry, I will keep it well."

On this trip, Shang Ruoyi still brought Acheng and Shaoyao with her.

Ever since the two of them started riding together, their relationship has become much more ambiguous than before.

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but shook her head when she saw Shaoyao blushing from time to time. If she had known earlier, she would have brought Yunqi out.

Along the way, Shang Ruoyi discovered that more and more people were heading to Beiling.

Beiling is located in the far north and there are not many people coming here to do business. Why are there so many vendors here today?

At this moment, the conversation of several people passing by came into Shang Ruoyi's ears.

"Have you heard? There is a purple oriental pearl at the Beiling Auction House!"

"Of course I have heard of it. Purple Oriental Pearl has not been seen in a hundred years. That is why I came all the way here."

"Even if I can't take a picture of it, it's a great honor to see it with my own eyes. It's worth the trip!"

“I wonder which force will end up with such a precious treasure.”

At this moment, a luxurious carriage slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" a man shouted, "You've delayed my young lady's trip, I'll make you suffer!" He raised his whip high and swung it at people on both sides of the road.

"Be careful!" The whip was lashed towards Shang Ruoyi's face. Ah Cheng flew forward, grabbed the whip and pulled it hard. The coachman was pulled out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" The man cried out in pain and got up from the ground: "Who! Who plotted against me!"

The carriage door opened, and a woman in purple grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, and shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you attack our lady's carriage? Are you tired of living?" She set her eyes on Ah Cheng: "You are the one who took the whip away!"

Ah Cheng's face was stern: "So what?"

The woman pulled out a thin whip and said, "How about this? Today I will let you see what happens when you offend someone you shouldn't offend."

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the carriage: "Chuan'er."

"Miss."

Just when everyone thought that the woman in the carriage would ask the maid named Chuan'er to stop, she said in a cold voice: "No need to hold back."

"Yes!"

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this.

This is simply unreasonable. It was clearly her driver who swung the whip around and almost hurt the master. Now she is turning the tables on him. It is really speechless.

Chuan'er sneered and raised the whip. The whip was covered with dense barbs. If someone was whipped by the whip, the flesh on his body would be lifted up. The barbs glowed with a faint green light under the light, and it was obvious that they were poisonous.

She just raised her eyebrows and the whip came towards Ah Cheng's face.

Ah Cheng has been following Shang Ruoyi these days, training with Yunqi every day. Chuan'er's moves are nothing to him.

He drew out the soft sword from his waist, with a thin whip wrapped around the sword. Ah Cheng used a clever move to snatch the whip away, and Chuan'er fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah Cheng, stop here." Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "Don't miss the trip."

"Yes, son."

He threw the whip on the ground and turned away.

Chuan'er's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he wished he could stab Ah Cheng through.

How could she be willing to embarrass herself in front of everyone? If she lost to the person in front of her, the lady would punish her severely when she returned.

She clapped her sleeves and a hidden weapon flew out.
