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

Chapter 257 Auction House

Shang Ruoyi was always paying attention to the movements here.

The hidden weapon was so fast and powerful, and Ah Cheng was so close to it that he had no time to react.

The hidden weapon was about to fall on him.

There was a flash of silver light in Shang Ruoyi's hand, and two silver needles suddenly shot out.

"Ding." With a crisp sound, the hidden weapon was knocked to the ground by one of the silver needles, and the other silver needle was completely embedded in Chuan'er's arm.

"Ah!" There was only a scream, and Chuan'er covered his arm, his face turning purple.

There was no poison on the silver needle, just some liquid medicine that amplifies the pain. Chuan'er's arm was pierced, but the pain felt like his arm was chopped off.

Shang Ruoyi's face was cold, and she whispered, "You are a ruthless maid. Others wanted to spare your life, but you insisted on bumping into them. If that's the case, you can't blame others for your fate."

As soon as the voice fell, the woman's cold shout came from the carriage: "What are you shouting for? You useless thing, you disgraceful thing, why don't you get back here?"

The woman closed her mouth, her eyes full of hatred, and ran to the carriage in dejection.

The woman in the carriage did not let her get on: "You are covered in dust, dirty and smelly, so get out and sit outside."

"Yes." Chuan'er covered his arm and sat outside the carriage. Shang Ruoyi only felt a sharp gaze falling on her. There was no doubt that it was the woman in the carriage.

At this moment, a strange fragrance came. Shang Ruoyi frowned, and the colorless and odorless medicine powder in her hand flew away with the wind. Everyone who was originally a little dizzy suddenly became clear-headed.

At this time, the carriage had already gone far away. Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. The strange fragrance just now contained a strong poison. Anyone who inhaled it a few more times would be poisoned to death. This woman was so cruel and ruthless. She was definitely not a good person.

"Sir." Ah Cheng stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, sir."

"It's okay." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "It's getting late, let's hurry up."

At this moment, several passers-by came forward and said to Shang Ruoyi, "Young Master, why did you have to offend the adopted daughter of the King of the Western Region City when you could have offended anyone else?"

"That's right! The City King has great power in the Western Regions. He dotes on this adopted daughter very much. In the Western Regions, she is more respected than the royal princess."

"If you offend her, what good will come of it?"

Shang Ruoyi found it very interesting when she heard this: "She is just an adopted daughter, why is she so noble?"

"My lord, you don't know. It is said that the King of the City originally had a daughter, but she disappeared for some unknown reason. No one knows whether she was lost or dead. The King of the City missed her so much that he became sick. Later, he went out hunting and brought back a girl. It is said that her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of the woman the King of the City loved the most. From then on, the adopted daughter was doted on."

Shang Ruoyi nodded in understanding. So that's it.

"That woman is Princess Cheng?"

"No, no." A man from the Western Regions said with a smile, "The King of the City has never married."

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect the City King to be such a lovesick guy.

"Not only that, it is said that the current prince of the City Prince's Mansion was also born to that woman."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the secrets of the royal palace.

She gave birth to a son and then got pregnant with a daughter, but in the end she had no status. This woman is really miserable.

After listening to stories about the City Prince's Palace along the way, we finally arrived at the capital of Beiling.

After they parted, Shang Ruoyi came to the back door of the Li family.

As soon as she got off the horse, the servant came to greet her: "Miss, you are back."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She had only been here once, but she didn't expect that they would remember her. Moreover, she was dressed as a man today. She couldn't help but look at the gatekeeper a few more times: "What's your name?"

"In reply to Miss, I am Li Yin." He said with a smile, "Miss, the old patriarch has been waiting for a long time."

As he said, the old man has been preparing for her ever since he got the news that she was coming to Beiling.

Seeing her come in, the old man stood up excitedly: "Child."

Shang Ruoyi leaned forward slightly: "Grandfather."

Hearing those three words, the old man's eyes lit up and were full of joy: "Child, good child!" He couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't expect to hear these three words in his lifetime.

Shang Ruoyi's heart was slightly moved. She had never enjoyed family affection in two lifetimes, and for a moment she was at a loss.

"Don't get excited." Shang Ruoyi's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's better to have a heart disease, so that your emotions won't fluctuate too much."

"Yes, yes, grandpa remembers everything you said." He wiped his tears, but the tears in his eyes were totally out of control and rolled down again as soon as he wiped them away.

Just then, Li Xia Xia walked in, saw Shang Ruoyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Shang!"

"Xia Xia."

"Sister Shang, I didn't expect that our fate is so deep. We are a family!" She took Shang Ruoyi's arm and said, "This way, I have truly found a backer."

Just then, a servant came in and said, "Old master, the owner of the auction house is here."

"Please."

Shang Ruoyi thought that the owner of such an auction house must be an old man about the same age as her grandfather, but she didn't expect it to be a woman with a charming figure and extremely beautiful looks.

"Grandpa Li, I am here to greet you." She leaned forward slightly and her eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi: "This young master looks unfamiliar. It seems that he is not from Beiling." The people of Beiling have a rough character and look more heroic than the people of Tianshun.

"The shopkeeper has a good eye." Shang Rui bowed and said, "I have a business to discuss with the old patriarch of the Li family."

The old man heard this and knew that she didn't want to expose her identity at this time, so he smiled and said, "That's right, there are so many rising stars nowadays, I can't refuse to admit my age!"

"What are you talking about, old man? You are in such good health, you will definitely live a long life. Our auction house is still looking forward to cooperating with you more."

"Haha, then I appreciate the good words from Shopkeeper Xiao."

Shopkeeper Xiao looked at Shang Ruoyi, then at the old man, and seeing that he had no intention of asking her to avoid him, he said, "Old man, today I am here to get the Eastern Pearl. In two hours, the auction will begin. The major chambers of commerce have heard about the purple Eastern Pearl you have, and have already prepared the silver. They are all rubbing their hands, waiting for the auction to begin!" Shopkeeper Xiao smiled and said, "After today's auction, the Li family's name will probably be known throughout the four countries."

After Shopkeeper Xiao left, the old man remembered the important matter: "Child, tell your grandfather if this purple pearl really came from that clam?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."

Li Xia Xia frowned when she heard this: "But we opened a lot of black clam shells, but there were either no pearls inside or they were already black and smelly. As for the purple pearls, we didn't even see a shadow."

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruoyi's heart moved. Could it be because of the spiritual spring water?

When I was selecting pearl clams that day, the water in the pond was indeed a bit muddy. Manager Lin said that it was that muddy from the beginning, and even after changing the water several times, there was still no change.

The only change is the addition of spiritual spring water.
