Chapter 145: Secret
Ning Yi still looked at He Linwan with cold eyes, noncommittal.
He Linwan sighed in his heart.
In the past, when she was in the Yang family, everyone thought that Ning Yi was a ruthless wolf cub, but her mother insisted that Ning Yi was just a little withdrawn, but actually a good child who was docile and pure and filial. Although He Linwan was not as blind as his mother, he never felt that Ning Yi was a dangerous and indifferent person.
But when she stood in front of Ning Yi as He Linwan, she could clearly feel the cold aura emanating from his whole person and his indifference to life. The current Ning Yi is a person who can't cover his warmth.
He Linwan wasn't angry, she was just distressed.
The anger generated by Ning Yi's actions against her gradually dissipated just now, He Linwan thought for a while and said, "Do you know why Your Majesty trusts the people of the Prison Department and the Secret Guard Camp so much?"
He Linwan knew that he had never had much patience with people he didn't know well, and she couldn't stay here for too long, so he said directly without waiting for Ning Yi to answer: "It's not that Your Majesty trusts them, but because after they join the Prison Division and the Secret Guard Camp, as long as they pass the half-year assessment period, they will be given a secret medicine." This medicine is actually a kind of Gu, if the person who takes it has half a betrayal of the owner of the mother Gu, he will die of rotting in his stomach. ”
Ning Yi frowned when he heard this.
He Linwan continued: "Are you thinking that if what I said is true, then why is Mingyuan okay?"
Ning Yi glanced at He Linwan.
He Linwan smiled: "That's because this kind of Gu can only be used once in a person's life, and it is useless when it is used for the second time." Mingyuan had already taken this secret medicine before entering the palace. ”
Ning Yi's right eyebrow was slightly raised.
He Linwan understood his doubts without him asking. continued: "You want to ask Mingyuan how he got the secret medicine, and how did I know about it?"
Ning Yi didn't like to talk since he was a child, and He Lin had already developed a sharp eye in observing his words and feelings.
"Because the recipe for the secret medicine in the hands of the current emperor was obtained from the royal family of the previous dynasty, you should know the source of the secret medicine in the hands of such a famous person. As for why I know, it's because the person who found this secret recipe in the palace of the former dynasty was my great-grandfather He Yong. ”
In fact, He Linwan's words are half-truthful, the existence of this secret medicine was told to her by her grandmother, Mrs. Yang, this medicine is called "Solving Jun Worries", and it is the same secret medicine of the Zhao clan as "Living Corpse San". At the beginning, Li Junyi asked people to find the formula for "relieving the king's worries", but he did not find the formula for "scattering the living corpses".
Ning Yi didn't know whether to believe He Linwan's words or not, but the gaze he looked at He Linwan made people can't help but tremble in their calves.
Fortunately, He Linwan is not an ordinary person. She realized why Ning Yi was angry. couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not that you are easy for people to see through ideas, but I was born with the art of guessing." ”
Ning Yi sneered: "Then guess what I'm thinking right now." ”
He Linwan glanced at him and sighed: "Are you wondering if you want to get rid of me." You think even if you can't beat me, it's not hard to kill me. ”
Ning Yi snorted coldly. Noncommittal: "Do you have a secret recipe for this medicine?"
He Linwan put away the smile on his face: "None." How could the emperor have leaked such a prescription? Where is our presence. ”
He Linwan was not lying. Although her grandmother knew a lot of court secrets, she didn't know about it.
Ning Yi nodded: "I think so." ”
He Lin said later: "Besides, even if you get this medicine, what can you do? You always have to choose a person to surrender to first, who are you willing to surrender to?"
Ning Yi said coldly: "Shut up!"
He Linwan ignored his cold words: "So the only thing you can do now is to eliminate yourself from the Criminal Prison Department in this half a year." ”
He Linwan didn't want Ning Yi to enter the Criminal Prison Division. The secret medicine "relieving the king's worries" is one of the important reasons.
"I don't believe there is any medicine in this world that can control me. Ning Yi said lightly.
He Linwan frowned and said, "Do you want to regret it after you try it?"
Ning Yi glanced at He Linwan: "What does it have to do with you?"
He Linwan was so angry with Ning Yi that she wanted to step forward and slap Ning Yi twice to wake up this bastard.
At this time, He Linwan heard footsteps in the distance, as if someone was about to pass by.
He Linwan said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." ”
Ning Yi glanced at the direction He Linwan intended, turned around and walked towards the path, and He Linwan immediately followed.
Sure enough, not long after they came out, two palace people came from the other direction.
The two didn't speak again, and Ning Yi silently walked in the direction of Fengxu Palace with He Linwan. He Linwan followed behind Ning Yi and suddenly remembered that every time it snowed when she was a child, Ning Yi would always walk silently in front of her, and she would follow behind and walk on Ning Yi's footprints, because she would not slip and fall.
The palace gate of Fengxu Palace appeared in the sight of the two, and the two palace people who were originally walking behind them also disappeared, Ning Yi stopped first, turned his back to He Linwan and said, "Fengxu Palace has arrived." ”
After saying that, Ning Yi wanted to leave, but He Linwan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and whispered: "Don't take that medicine!"
Ning Yi glanced at He Linwan and left without saying a word. Someone in front of Fengxu Palace had already noticed this, and He Linwan could only restrain his urge to reach out and hold Ning Yi.
He Linwan knew Ning Yi's stubbornness, and knew that he would not listen to his advice. Maybe he would ask the Zhao family for medicine in order to avoid being controlled by the emperor, but then he would have to be subject to the Zhao family. He Linwan didn't want to see Ning Yi being controlled by anyone and becoming a knife in anyone's hands.
But now she is helpless and powerless.
Wei quickly came out of Fengxu Palace, the mother and daughter didn't say anything when they met, Wei was relieved to see that He Lin was good and not injured.
After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Wei saw that something new had been added to the carriage, so he asked, "Concubine Xian Niangniang asked you to come over just to give you a reward?"
He Linwan took the box that Concubine Xian asked her to hand over to the second lady and looked at it carefully: "Yes, this box is what she asked me to take back and transfer to my uncle's grandmother." ”
Wei was a little surprised: "Is there an old relationship between Concubine Xian and the second lady?"
He Linwan smiled: "I only found out today. ”
Seeing that He Linwan had been looking at the small box repeatedly, Wei couldn't help but be curious: "Is there anything strange about this box?"
He Linwan handed the box to Wei: "Mother, open it." ”
Although Wei felt that it was a bit rude to selfishly open the things that Concubine Xian gave to the second lady, but He Linwan said this, she still took the box, and she didn't want her to try for a long time, but she couldn't open the lid of the box.
"Why can't you open it? Is it stuck?" Wei frowned.
He Linwan shook his head and said, "I can't open it, because there is an inclusion in this box." ”
Wei Shi looked at the box in her hand in surprise, from the outside, this box was too ordinary and ordinary, she really couldn't tell that this was actually a trap box.
He Linwan said: "Originally, I didn't think much about it, but the blame is that this box is too ordinary." Mother, you see, the wood used in the other two boxes given to me by Concubine Xian is fine rosewood, and there is the imperial seal of the palace at the bottom, but the material of this small box is the most ordinary poplar, but it is said that it is an East Pearl carefully selected by Concubine Xian. I have just carefully examined it several times before I am sure that this is a mechanism box made by Tian Hao, a folk machine master, and the lid of the box must be twisted left and right according to a specific formula to trigger the mechanism and open the box. ”
When Wei Shi heard this, she felt as if she was holding a hot potato in her hand, and she frowned and said: "In this way, no matter how precious Dongzhu is, I am afraid that it will not be as good as this machine box, and I am afraid that the contents of this box are strange." In that case, do you still want to transfer it to the second aunt?"
He Linwan nodded: "Naturally, it will be handed over, and Concubine Xian can't be offended now." ”
Wei was not at ease: "Can't you open it and take a look?"
He Linwan thought about it and shook his head: "It's too late." ”
Tian Hao is known as the first person in the trick technique, where is his mechanism box so easy to open? If He Lin is given three more days, He Linwan can still give it a try, after all, no matter how mysterious Tian Hao's trick is, the machine that can be contained in this small box is too small, and the changes that can be used are also limited, so it is not impossible to calculate it after spending some time and energy.
But they couldn't hide the box for three days before sending it to the second lady.
Wei smiled bitterly: "Every time you enter the palace, it is not a pleasant experience. ”
He Linwan comforted Wei: "It's useless for us to think about it, let's wait and see what unusual actions the second lady will have after getting the box." ”
Wei sighed: "That's all it takes. ”
The carriage quickly returned to Hefufu, and according to the custom, it was necessary to go to the old lady's Fukueiin first.
This time, He Linwan received a lot of rewards, in addition to the head and face jewelry and a bow and crossbow that Concubine Xian gave her, the queen also rewarded her with a lot of clothing and gold, silver and jade.
Yu looked at the long gift list, and his eyes were red with envy.
"So many things were given to Ah Wan by Niangniang alone," Yu said suspiciously.
He Linwan smiled and said, "What ...... does the fourth aunt like?"
Yu's heart was overjoyed, he really thought she had a share, pointed to the valuable jewelry on the gift list and said, "Take these out and take a look......
I didn't want He Linwan to continue slowly: "...... It's also useless, because it can't be given to you. ”
Yu's face stiffened when she heard this, and she realized that He Linwan was playing with herself, and she was about to get angry, but the second lady said: "What is the trouble? These palace things are not used to transfer to others except for their children!
Yu looked at the old lady, the old lady didn't speak, Yu couldn't help but be disappointed, didn't have the heart to look at the gift list in his hand again, and threw it to Wei's maid.
At this time, He Linwan walked up to the second lady with the small box given by Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian said that she promised her uncle and grandmother an East Pearl, and let me pass it on to you today." ”.
