Xiao Yan's expectation was good, Qianlong did know about this bowl of wine-stuffed red bean paste dumplings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the reason why this bowl of rice balls can still appear in front of Xiao Yan is also Qianlong's meaning.

In fact, although Qianlong has been busy with state affairs in recent days, he has also ordered the secret guards to secretly pay attention to several concubines in the palace who have had festivals with Xiao Yan, and every night they have to carefully read the secret folds submitted by Qiu Lan about Xiao Yan's diet and daily life that day, so it is natural to find out the danger in time when someone intends to kill Xiao Yan.

If you explore it carefully, Qianlong has a great relationship with Xiao Yan being murdered with vicious tricks.

Since the last time Qianlong ordered the noble Liu Rongjia to sleep in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, he slept for himself with the means despised by the high-ranking concubines, but afterwards he brushed his sleeves away, and everyone in the palace knew that Liu Guiren was disgusted by Qianlong because he offended Qianlong when he was sleeping.

And in this deceitful harem, there have always been more people with red tops and whites, and fewer people who send charcoal in the snow. Since then, Liu Guiren has often suffered from the cynicism of other concubines. Gradually, the palace people around Liu Guiren saw that Liu Guiren had no hope of regaining favor, and they also began to snub and despise her.

Since then, Liu Guiren's life has become more and more difficult. Not only is it difficult to eat a hot meal, but sometimes even a cup of hot tea depends on the faces of the palace maids.

Liu Guiren also once asked Gao Fang, the concubine who was the lord of Chengqian Palace, for help, however, Gao Fang comforted Liu Guiren kindly on the surface, but then did not give Liu Guiren any help, and even continued to stand by and let the palace people of Chengqian Palace bully Liu Guiren.

In Gao Fang's view, Liu Guiren, who has completely lost the emperor's favor, has no value to continue to support. However, even if Liu Guiren can't continue to help her compete for favor with other concubines, he can still be a sharp blade in her hand and give her enemies a fatal blow at critical moments.

In order to make Liu Guiren's sharp blade more sharp and bloodthirsty, Gao Fang deliberately allowed the palace people of Chengqian Palace to bully Liu Guiren, so that she tasted the cold eyes and trials of the palace people, in order to turn Liu Guiren into a mad dog full of hatred for Xiao Yan, and one day she could help her eradicate Xiao Yan, the most powerful rival in love.

Liu Guiren recalled his previous life in the palace, and compared with the bitter and unspeakable days he lived now, Liu Guiren was sad and angry in his heart, and he also hated Xiao Yan more and more.

While Liu Guiren was secretly patient, fighting wits and courage with the palace people who served her, trying her best to fight for her due rights as a nobleman, and at the same time secretly looking for a suitable opportunity, intending to take revenge on Xiao Yan.

After the lesson of the last time, Liu Guiren also knew that Xiao Yan's status in Qianlong's heart was extraordinary, and he also understood that he was very likely to deal with Xiao Yan many times, and even when Xiao Yan was still a little promise, the design caused her to linger on the sickbed for more than a month, so he was extra disgusted by the emperor, and used the excuse of the maid to rectify her and make Xiao Yan angry with that woman.

Therefore, although Liu Guiren wanted to deal with Xiao Yan, he was not stupid enough to touch the stone with an egg and go directly to Xiao Yan's trouble, but suppressed his unwillingness and anger in the bottom of his heart, and patiently waited for the best time to take revenge on Xiao Yan.

And this time, after Gao Fang failed to deal with Xiao Yan, in order to avoid being hated by Qianlong, he wanted to use a scapegoat to take the blame for himself. So, Gao Fang pondered for a night and decided to instigate Liu Guiren to deal with Xiao Yan, and then put all the charges on Liu Guiren, and let Liu Guiren be the substitute for the dead in this matter.

In order to block all the retreats of Liu Guiren and further expand Liu Guiren's hatred for Xiao Yan, Gao Fang deliberately ordered someone to secretly bewitch Xu Tian, a palace maid who had been wrongfully killed by Liu Guiren, and took advantage of Liu Guiren's loss of power to take revenge on her.

Xu Tian was poor since he was a child, and his parents had to use the most ordinary apprenticeship ceremony for Xu Tian in order to save a mouthful of food for his younger brothers and sisters, that is, a pig's head and a bottle of liquor. At that time, Xu Tian was only eight years old.

After purifying, Xu Tian struggled for a month on the kang in the cleansing room, and only then did he survive the cleansing and castration. Xu Tian was still young when he entered the palace, and he was only assigned an errand to wash vegetables in the imperial dining room, and after a few years of hard work, he became a small eunuch in charge of delivering vegetables in the imperial dining room.

Xu Tian was abandoned by his family when he was young, tasted the sorrow and pain of the world, and after entering the palace, he saw the heat and coldness of the world.

However, God took pity on Xu Tian's misery, and let him meet a little palace maid named Evening Fragrance.

Wanxiang is two years younger than Xu Tian, and when she first entered the palace, she was just a somewhat delicate and innocent girl. 's confused temperament and pure conscience make Wanxiang often bullied in the palace.

Once, Wanxiang was punished by her master to kneel under the palace wall, did not eat all day, and at night, she was already dizzy with hunger. Xu Tian really couldn't see it, so he took advantage of the errand in the imperial dining room to hide two hot meat buns in his robe and bring them to the evening fragrance.

Wanxiang is a girl with solid eyes, so because of the two buns, Xu Tian, who was sent in the snow, was regarded as a lifesaver. After that, as long as she had time, Wanxiang would sew some clothes, shoes and socks by herself and give them to Xu Tian. After going back and forth like this, Xu Tian was also moved by Wanxiang's concern and took more care of Wanxiang. Gradually, Xu Tian and Wanxiang secretly fell in love, and they formed a pair.

Since there was a person who knew the cold and the hot to accompany and take care of each other, Xu Tian and Wanxiang both felt that even this cold and cruel palace seemed to have a glimmer of warm hope.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Wanxiang was assigned to serve Liu Rongjia, who had just been canonized as a nobleman by Qianlong.

Liu Rongjia not only successfully used strategies to make Xiao Yan sick in bed at that time, but also successfully won the first place, and was the first among the selected show girls to sleep for Qianlong, and the limelight was unmatched for a while. Therefore, Liu Guiren's already very willful temper became more and more arrogant.

Although the palace people who served Liu Guiren were cautious, but they still couldn't escape the fate of beating and scolding, Wanxiang was the most powerful because of her weak personality, and was most severely tortured by Liu Guiren, often acting as Liu Guiren's punching bag, and inexplicably she would be beaten well, and finally even wrongfully stolen.

Liu Guiren claimed that in front of the people of Chengqian Palace, he took off his pants and punished him with a court staff. Evening incense was grief-stricken and threw herself into a well before the execution, ending her short and tragic life. Wan Xiang threw herself into a well and died, not yet 18 years old.

Concubine Gao Fang watched coldly, feeling that this matter might be able to be used in the future. Therefore, Gao Fang deliberately prevented Liu Guiren's intention to punish Xu Tian together, and deliberately came forward to protect Xu Tian.

After this incident, Xu Tian naturally hated Liu Guiren to the core. This time, after Gao Fang secretly ordered people to instigate, he made up his mind to take revenge on Liu Guiren.

So, with the help of the noble concubine Gao Fang, Xu Tian took advantage of the time to pass the food, and added soft tendons to Liu Guiren's dinner, although the people who had taken this medicine were weak and weak, but their minds were extremely clear. Because Gao Fang had deliberately transferred away from the palace people waiting beside Liu Guiren in advance, Xu Tian was able to smoothly enter Liu Guiren's bedroom. Xu Tian, who was covered with a black cloth, ignored Liu Guiren's struggles, and tossed Liu Guiren to death with jade and wax oil.

Liu Guiren was humiliated, and he was already a little energetic. I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Guiren did not make a big fuss about being insulted by a masked man in the dormitory, but reluctantly concealed this matter, however, in his heart, he hated Xiao Yan even more, and he wanted Xiao Yan to taste the humiliation he had suffered.

Gao Fang learned of Liu Guiren's plan, and also knew that Liu Guiren was really mentally disordered and confused, Xiao Yan was accompanied by palace people sent by the emperor to take care of her, how could it be so easy to let strange eunuchs sneak into Xiao Yan's palace and do whatever he wanted?

Although this plan was destined to be unsuccessful, Gao Fang felt that she could let Liu Guiren toss, and even secretly helped her and ordered the eunuch Xu Tian to drug Xiao Yan. Even if she can't send a eunuch in to ruin Xiao Yan's reputation, she can let the palace people around her take a look at her lewd and ugly state.

This matter reached the emperor's ears, coupled with her previous gossip that was unclear with the eunuch Xiao Fangzi, which would inevitably make the emperor feel that she was shameless and disgusting from the bottom of his heart. Even if you don't reduce her to a concubine, you will be disgusted and alienated from her. In this way, Gao Fang's goal was achieved.

As for the eunuch Xu Tian who drugged Xiao Yan, even if he is found out in the future, he will push all this matter on Liu Guiren, so that he can put Liu Guiren to death and avenge the palace maid Wanxiang who died unjustly.

Gao Fang calculated every step well, but she didn't expect that Qianlong attached much more importance to Xiao Yan than she imagined, and she didn't know that since Qianlong had strictly interrogated the eunuch Xiao Fangzi, she had already ordered the secret guards to keep an eye on the Chengqian Palace, and all the secrets she thought she had done were under Qianlong's control.

And when Qianlong first learned about this, he was naturally furious, and he was already extremely disappointed in Gao Fang, who repeatedly refused to follow his will and even refused to change his ways.

Qianlong originally planned to order Qiulan to quietly replace this bowl of red bean paste glutinous rice balls stuffed with drugs, but when Qiulan showed him that the drugs added to this bowl of desserts were not ordinary inferior flattery* medicines, but the superior medicature "flower drunk" that was rumored to have been circulated in the Afang Palace in the Qin Dynasty, Qianlong changed his mind.

The reason why Hua Drunk was highly praised among the nobles in the Wei, Jin and Tang dynasties was because women who took Hua Drunk not only did not lose their minds, but would be aroused by the effects of the medicine to arouse the deep emotions in their bodies and their inner instincts that they were not even aware of.

Qianlong thought about the mysteries on Xiao Yan that still can't be solved, and couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but want to take a good look at what Xiao Yan, who showed her true nature under the control of Hua Zui, would look like.

Therefore, after Qianlong carefully asked the imperial physician Wu Qian about the medicinal effects of Hua Zui, and knew that Hua Zui was not harmful to the human body, he instructed Qiu Lan to make a plan and present the red bean paste glutinous rice balls stuffed with Hua Zui directly to Xiao Yan, and carefully note down her reaction when she took the dessert, and then gave it back to him to know.

Xiao Yan made up her mind to compete with Qianlong, and naturally quietly ate this bowl of wine-stuffed red bean paste dumplings one by one, whether it was her actions or expressions, they were the same as when she usually took desserts, and even though Qiulan and Qiuyue were experienced, they didn't see any flaws.

Xiao Yan secretly thought in her heart: If it is so easy for the two of you to see the flaws, then wouldn't all the courses I used to study in the military academy be in vain? Especially since I was a child, I have been trained and managed by my father militarized, and I have already experienced a hundred battles. When I was in junior high school, I was already able to deal with my father's various detective questions with ease, and even the lie detector couldn't detect flaws. If I knew that the two of you were the eyeliner that Qianlong had planted next to me, I would still show my flaws, and I would really be laughed to death by my father and comrades-in-arms!

Under the reminder of the system, Xiao Yan already knew that the flattery* medicine added to this bowl of rice balls was not easy to deal with, but Xiao Yan finally felt a little more comfortable when she learned that this medicine would not bring any damage to the body of the person taking the medicine or incurable sequelae. At the same time, Xiao Yan was also more curious about what Qianlong wanted to do, and couldn't hold back her eagerness to try, and couldn't wait to compete with Qianlong.
