The next day, after Du Jialan entered the palace, he told his close friends all about yesterday's events, and there was nothing to hide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Princess Changning was very keenly aware of the point: "Is there really such a tonic with outstanding efficacy?" Or, is it just that someone with a heart wants to influence your actions by infiltrating the Du family, and then affect me and A-Niang? ”

This so-called tonic can both "restore youth" and "help with pregnancy", which immediately reminded her of Queen Du. At the age of Her Royal Highness the Queen, it is natural to care about preserving her appearance. It doesn't matter whether they are favored by saints or whatever, eternal youth is the desire of most women's hearts. As for the matter of pregnancy and childbirth, if Her Royal Highness the Queen is really unstable, even if she is recuperating in bed, she will be worried and uneasy, and she will need more effective medicines.

Therefore, this seems to be just a donation of medicine by the daughters-in-law of the Du family, intended to "help" their sister-in-law to gain the favor of her husband and children. In fact, there is a great possibility that it will develop into an "effective" drug for the princess of Xin'an County, and this medicine is specially dedicated to Queen Du and Concubine Zhou De. If there is indeed someone who is motivated by this, this medicine may indeed seem to have a good effect, but it will certainly bring about the same terrible negative effects.

After all, at such a critical moment, some people with the intention of rebellion would never want to see the birth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. On the contrary, there was chaos in the palace, the palace of Xin'an County was involved, and Chang'an City was completely in chaos, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Of course, the princess of Xin'an County had already thought of this, so she sighed because of the actions of her sister-in-law: "If it weren't for this, I really couldn't imagine that I had taken every precaution, but I still couldn't prevent my mother's family from being gullible." They may not have meant anything ill of purpose, or even offered me medicine with good intentions. But I never thought that this kind of tonic was just a bureau carefully set up by some people. As for what will happen to their bodies after taking this medicine rashly, she really can't control it.

"Listening to them, this kind of tonic should be very commonly used among the relatives of many high-ranking officials recently." Li Hui continued, "As far as I can see, if the King of Jiangxia County wants to bury a dark line, it will definitely not be achieved only through the Xin'an County Palace. After all, relying on only a few people, there are too many variables in between. Maybe he will take the opportunity to promote the trend of taking medicine, which will attract everyone's praise, and naturally more female relatives will give this medicine to their uncle. As long as one person succeeds, there will be chaos in the palace. ”

Princess Changning bowed slightly: "The female dependents who can get close to A-Niang are either nobles of the clan or the relatives of high-ranking officials. As long as chaos can sweep through the palace and this family, it will be enough to make the people of Chang'an City panic. can even frame this family for conspiring with Shengzhou rebellion and taking advantage of the opportunity. ”

Li Hui said: "Not bad. So, I thought maybe I could use a trick to lure the enemy. But now that I think about it, I can't make a rash move. Let's do some of the same. Those who are so-called effective after using it, if they are not disguised, must have been influenced by others to use medicine. Tracing back to the source, it is natural that the first person to offer the medicine and boast of its usefulness is the one who made the offering. Not surprisingly, it must be related to the king of Jiangxia County. ”

"I immediately asked Luo Niang and them to inquire about it through the feast." Princess Changning said, "Or you can also let the aunts come forward to get more information quickly." "I don't know how many people want to curry favor with the eldest princess of Qinghe and the eldest princess of Linchuan, and those who have a heart must also hope to use their influence in the palace to surround them soon.

"It's a very normal reaction to ask." Li Hui said again, "You can use the light and dark lines to investigate together." ”

The two cousins discussed it in a few words, Du Jialan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I don't know why, I actually thought of Concubine Yuan Shu." Her eyes moved slightly, her voice was still faint, but it was full of trustworthiness: "If you go back a few months ago, isn't it Yuan Shufei who needs this tonic the most?" She frequently sent people back to her parents' house some time ago, maybe someone quietly offered medicine? Over the years, she doesn't know how many child-seeking pills she has used—only this one is available, and she has successfully conceived a dragon heir......"

Princess Changning was stunned and said in a low voice: "In this way, the chaos in the palace, even if it doesn't start with A-Niang, will start from the Great Yuan family." This Jiangxia County King is really ready for all kinds of preparations. Started by A-Niang, there is naturally unrest inside and outside the court; Starting from the Great Yuan family, there will also be a way to make a big fuss. ”

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to follow the Yuan family and the Jiangxia County Palace. In a few days, news will inevitably come. Li Hui was no longer surprised, Du Jialan, who had outstanding intuition, was able to discover the context of these seemingly unrelated things, "You can focus on luring Yuan Meiren over, and she will be our solution." As long as Yuan Meimei is there, Concubine Yuan Shufei can be under our control in every detail, so she has nothing to fear. ”

Princess Changning and Du Jialan are the first to say yes.

After thinking for a while, Li Hui said again: "Actually, I am more concerned about the hot spring Zhuangzi of the Du family. The king of Jiangxia County, not all the conspiracies and tricks are coming towards the female dependents. He will do whatever it takes, and he will take advantage of everything. If this hot spring village was sold to the Du family at a discount through his hands, it is very likely that it will be hidden separately. ”

"Then I'll find an excuse to take over that hot spring village recently." Du Jia Lan said, "Secretly check it so that you won't leave hidden dangers." ”

The three of them sat together, discussing countermeasures in a low voice, but the atmosphere did not seem to be solemn. Empress Du, who was resting on the couch in the inner hall, gently held Yan's hand, looked at them from afar with a smile, and sighed: "Looking at them like this, I feel a lot more relieved." Before they knew it, they were already able to take charge on their own. Brothers and sisters work together, no matter what big or small things they encounter, they will naturally be able to solve them smoothly. ”

"That's true." Yan Shi curled the corners of his lips, "Ask them what they are busy with, but they need my help, and they actually said - Ah Niang just needs to rest and rest, just a few small things, we can handle it." turned his head and sent a letter to Da Lang, and he didn't know what God was secretly discussing. ”

"Since it is their filial piety, we simply let go and let them go." Empress Du smiled, "I want to wait and see if they can finally sweep away those people who are secretly watching." If they can really do it, then even if she encounters the life and death of the year, she can be completely relieved.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes slowly turned to Princess Yong'an and the county lord of Shouyang, who were concentrating on the other side, and the county lord of Xin'an, who was playing against Shanggong while watching over them, and casually talked about all kinds of inconsequential little things.

"Speaking of which, Huanniang (the county lord of Xin'an) should also get married. The second sister-in-law must have been worried for a long time, what good candidate does the third sister-in-law have? While she has not yet returned to Beijing, we will all see a few, and when the time comes, we will mention it to her, and there is no need for her to waste her efforts in vain, and her heart is anxious. ”

"I do think of a couple of good gentlemen. However, from the perspective of the second brother's prudence, and remove a few who are particularly prominent or have outstanding careers. There are two or three people left, and they are all good matches for Huanniang. ”

“…… Originally, the second lang of Sister Linchuan's family should be a good marriage. Qinghe's sister's eldest brother is a little inappropriate in age, but he is only a year or two older, and it doesn't hinder anything. That's it, presumably the second brother is definitely unwilling to marry Huanniang, the third sister-in-law might as well talk about which good families she likes? ”

Even though there are undercurrents inside and outside the Daming Palace, in the Penglai Palace at this moment, the years are quiet.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. On the other hand, the counterinsurgency war is in full swing. Although the sage's royal drive had just crossed the Yellow River and headed north towards Taiyuan Mansion, Ashina Zhensi, the deputy head of the march on the east road, had already led 5,000 soldiers and strong cavalry to take a step forward and came to the vicinity of the battlefield. The middle road set off early, and the army came to Yanzhou to set up camp, and sent several generals to march in two ways to attack the enemy's base camp Shengzhou.

As for the Western Route Army, it also rushed all the way from Shazhou with lightning speed, and all the way to pick up the nests of horse thieves who were suspected of colluding with the king of Hejian County. At the same time, the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion and other places were requisitioned to invade several prefectures and quickly control the Turkic tribes and Tiele tribes who were suspected of rebellion. Young and old, they were all tied up as prisoners to be used to surrender the enemy.

Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, as the vanguard of the first route, took the lead in rushing to Shengzhou as a response to the middle route army. Because there were flying pigeons passing books back and forth to deliver news, on the way, he met Du Shishilang Du Chongfeng and his party. At the beginning, there were nearly two hundred Wang family tribes and the elite tribes under Du Chongfeng's hands, but now there are only dozens of people left, and almost all of them have large and small wounds, and their faces are full of tiredness.

Li Jing looked at Du Chongfeng, whose face was full of wind and sand, and he didn't dare to recognize each other for a while, and his heart turned into a soft stream in an instant, gushing out wisps of pain. Even though he didn't know how to react, he instinctively stepped forward to hold his best friend and led him and everyone into his tent.

It was in a spacious tent, and it was extremely cramped with dozens of people crowded at this time. Du Chongfeng was about to tell him what he had guessed about the movements of the King of Hejian County, so he waved his hand: "It's not a moment and a half, you can use some dry food first." "Everyone is so thin that his muscles and bones, especially his best friend, is so thin that it seems that a gust of wind can blow him away, and there are only bones left in his body, teach him how not to feel distressed?

Du Chongfeng was stunned, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and smiled calmly: "It's okay." After so many days of not eating and resting, we should also recharge our energy before we can continue to fight the enemy. The tribes naturally nodded yes, they had hardly used decent hot food in the past ten days, and they were just squinting their eyes when they rested. At the moment, I don't know whether to eat hot food or get some sleep.

So, when the soup made of dried meat and dry food was served, everyone immediately devoured it. Even if the taste is indescribable, it is not the same as what they used to eat, but at this time, it is no less than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. After eating several bowls of meat soup in three or two clicks, the tribes staggered. Some people even held the unfinished meat soup and fell crookedly on the person next to them. Dozens of big men fell asleep together, and suddenly snoring shook the sky.

Du Shishilang looked at them, his expression as gentle as ever. As a child of a family, he naturally couldn't be as rough as them, and after elegantly using two bowls of meat soup, he endured his sleepiness and told Li Jing about his experience over the years: "There were a lot of wounded, and they were sent to the nearby Zhuangzi arranged by Sun Rong for treatment in time, but there were only a few dead." However, in the end, these dozens of people were the only ones who could follow me here. ”

"Before we reached the vicinity of Xiazhou, due to the frequent intervention of another force, the king of Hejian County completely escaped from our pursuit and fled into the vast desert. However, Sun Rong investigated in Xiazhou for a period of time and mastered several suspicious horse thief nests, so we only rested for a while and continued to chase them. Two days ago, they arrived at a lair and found that they had taken with them grain, grass, gold and silver. Presumably, the next move of the king of Hejian County is to rush back to Shengzhou. ”
