Chapter 391 Dingbei Palace

On the carriage, looking at Girl Qiao picking up pieces of cake and stuffing them into her mouth quickly, Butler Zhou felt really distressed and guilty.

"Girl Qiao, have you not had breakfast? It's all my fault. I disturbed your breakfast and I didn't think of preparing anything for you."

Qiao Ran waved her hand, swallowed the cake in her mouth, and then replied:

"No, I've had breakfast, but I just had an eye surgery for my grandma, so I'm a little hungry. I don't know when your master will come back, and I don't know how urgent the situation is and how much time it will take. So hurry up and fill your stomach now, so that you won't have time to eat later, and you won't be able to treat your young master if you are hungry."

"Yes, you are still thoughtful!"

Butler Zhou nodded in agreement. Then, he thought of Butler Zheng's words, combined with Qiao Ran's words just now, and asked the question in his heart:

"Girl Qiao, Butler Zheng said that you are his cousin and your mother is the daughter of General Zheng. Is this true?"

Qiao Ran nodded: "Yes, it's true. My mother is the daughter of my grandma and the others who have been missing for more than thirty years. She was abducted in Qingzhou Fucheng and brought to a remote mountain village to be raised, so my grandma and the others I’ve been searching for decades but still haven’t found it.”

Butler Zhou sincerely sighed: "I never expected that you are the granddaughter of an old general. No wonder you are so smart and talented. It is really a magical thing to recognize a relative thousands of miles away from your hometown!"

Everyone in the capital knew that the old general had lost a daughter.

Just because the Zheng family had few heirs, the old general and Mrs. Zheng had been married for many years before they gave birth to a daughter. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped when she was still in her infancy. In shock and panic, Mrs. Zheng then gave birth to a daughter. fall sick.

At that time, the old general had already made great achievements in battle. He could have been promoted to a first-class general and took charge of the army, but he requested an order and voluntarily stayed in Qingzhou Mansion to garrison, which caused many people in the capital to sigh with regret.

Everyone knew that the old general and his wife wanted to find their daughter, so they gave up the opportunity to be promoted and stayed in Qingzhou. They never gave up looking for their daughter.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the old general and the old lady did not find their daughter in Qingzhou, but recognized their daughter in the capital thousands of miles away.

Butler Zhou sighed, and suddenly thought of something: "Hey, you are the granddaughter of the old general and the cousin of the general's mansion. Then I can't call you Girl Qiao anymore. This is disrespectful to the old general!"

Qiao Ran paused and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, it doesn't matter. Regardless of whether I am the cousin of the General's Mansion or not, I am still me, a little girl from a peasant family. You should continue to call me girl!"

The name "Yatou" does not have any disrespectful meaning, because in ancient times girls often combed their hair into a Y-shaped bun, so "Yatou" was used to refer to girls.

And "Girl" is a term of endearment used by elders for younger women, expressing affection, so Qiao Ran doesn't mind when her elders call her "Girl".

But Housekeeper Zhou is a very rule-abiding person. He knew that Qiao Ran was just a farm girl, so he felt no pressure when calling her "girl".

But now it is known that she is the granddaughter of General Zheng. This status is not something that a mere slave of his can claim to be an elder.

So, he insisted on not calling Qiao Ran girl, but respectfully calling her "Miss Qiao". Qiao Ran felt that calling her Miss Qiao was not nice, so she asked him to call her "Miss Qiao".

"Shut up!"

Following the coachman's shout, the carriage stopped.

Butler Zhou opened the curtain and took a look and said: "Miss Qiao, here we are, this is our Dingbei Palace. Miss Qiao, please get out of the car!"

Qiao Ran opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage neatly before the coachman brought over the stool. She looked at the Dingbei Palace, which was even more majestic and majestic than the General's Palace.

On the plaque at the entrance of the palace, the words "Dingbei Palace" painted in gold are majestic and domineering.

"These words were given by the Supreme Emperor himself and ordered to be made by the best craftsmen. The old King Dingbei and the Supreme Emperor are brothers, and they built the country together. The Supreme Emperor is grateful for the achievements made by our old prince. Great service, so not only did I make the old prince a prince, and gave me this plaque, I also gave him a gold medal for immunity from death, which can protect the people in the palace from death three times."

Butler Zhou, who got off the carriage on a stool, stood behind Qiao Ran, looked up at the plaque, and introduced it proudly.

Only then did Qiao Ran know that the Dingbei Prince's Palace was so prominent, and the identity of the Dingbei Prince's Crown Prince was also very prominent in the capital, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

I just don’t know how he is doing now. Can he survive such a dangerous poison attack this time?

Butler Zhou also thought of his eldest son, and quickly asked the boy guarding the door: "Is the master back?"

"If you go back to the housekeeper, the master hasn't come back yet."

The boy replied very respectfully.

After hearing this, Butler Zhou's expression became even more worried:

"Oh, I don't know where the master and the others are and when they will be back. Miss Qiao, let's go to the house and wait! I'll have someone make some cakes for you, and I'll have lunch put out early so that you don't have to worry about it. Hungry.”

Qiao Ran waved her hand casually: "No need to bother. I was full just now and I'm not hungry now."

In the car just now, she had quickly eaten all the pastries her mother had packed for her, and she was really not hungry at all at this moment.

After hearing this, Butler Zhou could only take her in and sit down to drink tea and wait.

As soon as Qiao Ran stepped into the main hall door with Butler Zhou, she saw a bearded and unkempt little old man angrily pointing at a young man and cursing:

"Urgent! Urge me to come out. Where is the person? Where is your poisonous master? Didn't he say he was coming back? I've been waiting here for a quarter of an hour and drank three glasses of tea. How can I return it? Not coming? What a waste of a furnace of medicine that I have been refining for half a month! It seems that it will be successful in two hours, but you are the one who rushes me to death! You pay for my medicine! Pay for my medicine! "

The little old man acted like a naughty child, yelling at the boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old to pay for his medicine. He was so frightened that the boy turned pale and kept apologizing, and finally his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground. Kowtow and beg for mercy.

When the ghost doctor saw the person kneeling towards him, he jumped to the side and said angrily: "Don't kneel down, me! I'm not your master, so don't kneel down here and there! Get up! If you continue to look like this, I will go into seclusion again, no matter what Your master!"

Butler Zhou quickly stepped forward to apologize: "Ghost doctor, please calm down! The boy is not to blame for this, I asked him to call you out. I have received the secret message, and the master is on his way back, very soon! Very soon It will be there soon! My master has been poisoned for half a month, and he is relying on the few magic pills given by the ghost doctor. He is about to be unable to support himself. I hope that you and Miss Qiao can work together to save my master. Fate, ghost doctor, you can’t just let me go!”
