It is said that Princess Jian'an had chickenpox, and it didn't take long for her illness to gradually improve. King Lu was overjoyed and rewarded the doctor who treated her. Only one thing was slightly unusual, but fortunately no one cared. The princess has always applied light fat powder, but after her illness, she suddenly fell in love with heavy makeup. This is just a woman's petty nature, nothing more than the occasional mention of a few sentences in the back house of the Zeng family. And after this illness, the princess was reluctant to go out, and even when she went out, she wore a veil. Because she is about to leave the cabinet, she is shy and usually tight. Then there is the princess who suddenly fell in love with all kinds of spices after recovering from her illness, and not only received a lot of them in the treasury, but also sent her maids to buy a lot outside. King Lu knew about it, and he also collected some from everywhere and sent them.

On this day, a neatly dressed servant woman outside the Luwang Mansion posted a post, saying that Mrs. Liu Qin, the wife of a businessman in Beijing, wanted to see Princess Jian'an. happened to meet a young little doorman and thought it was funny: "Do you want to see the princess?" ”

The servant woman was neither humble nor arrogant: "Please also ask the little brother to send my wife's post in, otherwise I am afraid that it will be a big mistake." ”

An old man came out of it and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Xiao Menzi smiled and pointed at the servant woman and said, "The proprietress of a wood shop wants to see the princess, and she doesn't take a mirror to see if she is worthy or not." ”

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at the servant woman, his eyes widened for a moment, and he looked up and down for a moment, and said with a smile on his face: "Please sister-in-law later, the villain will send the post." Nai stepped forward to take the post with both hands, glanced at Xiaomenzi, and went back.

Xiao Menzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled at the servant woman: "Sister-in-law come and sit inside." The servant woman thanked her and stood aside.

The little disciple knew that the old man was more knowledgeable than him, so he secretly peeked at this servant woman, and he couldn't wait to slap himself: the clothes and materials on this servant woman were Luo's! And the boots under her feet, which were also very fine lambskin boots. And that appearance and demeanor are not ordinary people can have. Not long after, the old man came out and brought back a reply from Princess Jian'an, inviting the master of the Liu family's servant to meet the day after tomorrow. The servant woman bowed in thanks, turned around and got into the carriage with her sleeves in reply.

Seeing that the carriage was going away, Xiao Menzi couldn't help asking, "Uncle, who is this Mrs. Liu?" ”

"I don't know." The old man smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and he stretched out a slap and said, "Princess Hengzhi attaches great importance to it and gave me a reward of five taels of silver!" ”

Xiao Menzi exclaimed: "Good luck, uncle!" Then he asked, "Why didn't you give it—" He raised his chin into the street.

The old man snorted: "I don't know! In some people's homes, it is not allowed to take outside rewards. ”

Xiao Menzi suddenly realized: "Oh-" nodded vigorously several times, but he really didn't understand the reason at all.

Two days later, an ordinary Qingbu carriage drove to the front of the Luwang Mansion, which was the wife of the Liu family last time. Xiao Menzi looked intently, only to see the curtain of the car lifted, and the servant woman who came the day before yesterday pulled out a young woman from above, so peugeot! The posture is delicate and delicate, and there is a dignified atmosphere throughout the body, which is intimidating. Not to mention the wealth that is full of money.

Zhu, the nurse of Princess Jian'an, came to the door early in the morning to wait, and when she heard that Mrs. Liu was coming, she greeted her, saluted with joy, and led her to the princess's courtyard. When they arrived inside, Princess Jian'an had already prepared refreshments, and a room of people who were waiting for them were all sent out, and even the Zhu family only sent Mrs. Liu to the door and bowed down.

Mrs. Liu went to see the princess alone, and spent two hours in it, and no one knew what she was saying or doing. Seeing noon, someone from the kitchen came over to deliver food boxes. The princess's nurse shouted at the door, "Princess, it's time for lunch." After a while, Mrs. Liu came out and took the food box, and smiled casually and ordered the people outside to eat too, and there was no need to come in to serve, the posture was like the master. The people in the kitchen were suspicious, and they didn't dare to ask, so they saluted and left. The princess and Mrs. Liu had lunch, and Mrs. Liu sent the food box out and handed it to the Zhu family.

The two of them stayed in the house for most of the hour, and Mrs. Liu came out and said, "The princess is resting in the tent, don't disturb her." "But he took his leave. The nursing mother sent her out of the house. The maids were inevitably suspicious in their hearts, and they dared to go into the house to probe, and the princess was indeed asleep, and she looked safe. This sleep, Princess Jian'an slept until dusk before getting up.

When Mrs. Zeng heard about this, she was inevitably suspicious and sued her husband Zeng Chun. Zeng Chun sent someone to check on Mrs. Liu, but said that he left after leaving the palace of King Lu, saying that he was returning to Beijing. Obviously, he came to see Princess Jian'an for something. Some people in the inn saw his appearance, and they couldn't say anything. The appearance is rare in the world, not to mention, the style of the whole body is obviously a nobleman. The proprietress who brought water to their yard said that Mrs. Liu's jewelry was so gorgeous that she didn't know which one to look at first. asked the doorman of the Lu Wangfu again, and the old man said: "This lady is wearing python satin from the palace, I can't be mistaken." Zeng Chu gasped. The wife and grandmother of the Hou Zeng family took turns to ask Princess Jian'an who Mrs. Liu was, but she just messed up with the sloppy eyes and didn't say a word.

Zeng's family visited for many days and unexpectedly got a clue. There was a merchant's wife, who also lived in the inn, who occasionally saw Mrs. Naliu and was envious, and visited her. The two of them talked about eating tea and appreciating flowers for a long time, and said that they were settling accounts for half a day, but they couldn't find out the identity of Mrs. Liu. It was only concluded that Mrs. Liu came from a wealthy and noble family, and her status was extremely high. She also took out the gift that Mrs. Liu gave her at random, but it was two strings of red musk beads and two ends of the phoenix tail. Zeng Chun knew as soon as he looked at the phoenix-tailed Luo that this Mrs. Liu's identity must be extremely high. Ordinary businessmen can't buy this thing at all, let alone give it away. Another little girl from the merchant's wife said that she chatted with Mrs. Liu, and the girl said that their wife was raised by their in-laws in the health hall and had been a monk in her early years.

Zeng Chun wanted to know more and more who this girl was, so he annoyed his sister-in-law Concubine Ning to find Princess Jian'an to investigate. I don't want Princess Jian'an to fool her mother! only said that Mrs. Liu's poetry was unique, and the two of them talked about poetry for most of the day. Zeng Chunhou couldn't find half a clue anymore, so he only scratched his ears and cheeks, and finally went to ask Old Man Zeng again.

Old Man Zeng pondered for a long time after listening to this, and said: "The health hall is maintained, he was a monk in his early years, and his demeanor is dignified and magnificent. Come to think of it, unless it's someone from Prince Xianyizhong's line. Otherwise, why go into hiding? ”

Zeng Chun said: "If it is Prince Xianyizhong's people, and the emperor is a mortal enemy, how can he come to find Jian'an?" The father and son pondered for a long time, but they were inconclusive.

A few days later, many carts suddenly came outside the gate of the mansion to deliver goods, saying that the wife of the Liu family heard that Princess Jian'an was going to get married, and she came to add makeup to her. The steward in charge of the princess's dowry in the palace was so shocked that he jumped up with the list, and said for a long time: "Does the princess know the grandmother of the God of Wealth?" ”

King Lu was naturally overjoyed, and came to see the list in person, and also looked at the things for a while, and praised: "Sister really attracts wealth." ”

Concubine Ning naturally asked for a list to see, and she was also shocked, and even sighed: "If the Emperor Taishang is still in Beijing and Jian'an is married, I am afraid that the dowry purchased by the Internal Affairs Government will only be like this." "I was also suspicious of this Mrs. Liu, and I went to test Princess Jian'an for a long time, but I still didn't get half a penny.

Princess Jian'an still wears heavy makeup on the days of her marriage, and she still uses a lot of spices. The princess's dowry list was naturally sent to the capital early. Jia Zheng was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall: King Lu is so rich! Ecstasy.

A few days later, the Empress Dowager's edict arrived in Luzhou to marry Princess Jian'an and Jia Huan, the nephew of Rongguo Gong Jia Huan. The palace of King Lu suddenly rejoiced: even though she has been away from Beijing for many years, the Empress Dowager will finally have residual power. Not to mention the side, what is rare is face.

At this time, there were also people in the health hall in Beijing to investigate, but the news they gave was too little. I only know that the woman is about 30 years old, has a good appearance and bearing, and has been a monk. The years of partial life are too long, and the turmoil in Beijing in the past few years, many old people in the health hall have either left or died, and the whole one is closed, which is very difficult.

Someone went to an old health hall in the south of the city to inquire, although they never got the letter, but there was an old lady in charge of the house: "A few days ago, I heard something elsewhere in a trance, which also said that there was a very rich and noble Mrs. Liu, who donated a lot of silver to the health hall, because she was raised from the health hall. It is also said that it is the appearance of a monk. This person hurriedly inquired about which health hall it was, and when he found it, the health hall was closed.

The man did not give up, but inquired of those who had been in the place and asked the neighbors. Another good old woman said, "I have heard of that Mrs. Liu. She said in a low voice, "In the early years, someone came to inquire about her, saying that she was the granddaughter of Prince Xian Yizhong!" But this is a street gossip, and there is no evidence.

This day is an auspicious day, Princess Jian'an set off from Luzhou to marry in Beijing, and the city is like a New Year. King Lu is reluctant, and wants to marry in person. However, he was the prince, and his grandfather, mother and uncle repeatedly persuaded him not to leave. King Lu is puffed up. Because of the large dowry, he wanted Zhong Heng to lead the troops to escort him. Zhong Heng said: "The last general must not leave the prince." Why don't you send some men and let my uncle lead them? "King Lu knew that his uncle Zhong Wei was a tiger general, and he had not moved others to lead the troops for all these years. Hearing that Zhong Wei was allowed to come out, he was much more relieved.

Zhong Wei then temporarily closed the teahouse for a few days, and led a few brothers to take the elite soldiers selected by Zhong Heng to escort Princess Jian'an and the ten miles of red makeup. The towns they pass through are boiling - who has ever seen so many dowries? worthy of being the emperor's daughter. Naturally, robbers coveted it on the road, and the partial life didn't even alarm Zhong Wei and let the soldiers and horses who didn't know where they came from call back.

I walked all the way safely, and I saw that I would be able to enter Beijing in three or four days. Princess Jian'an's heart was beating wildly, and Yibi breathed a sigh of relief. That night they slept in a village, and the princess ate a late night snack and walked a few steps in the courtyard of the farmhouse. Suddenly, someone shouted, "What man! "Hurriedly looked up. The bright moon hung in the sky like a silver platter, shining clearly on the distant trees and near the house, but she couldn't see clearly what had happened—only a mass of figures, and the sound of them sounding like someone fighting on the roof.

The two of them fought, and gradually jumped outside. Although Princess Jian'an was curious, she didn't dare to chase her out to see, and hurriedly slipped back into the house. After waiting for a long time, I heard a Western fire. The sound of gunfire rang out. After a while, Zhong Wei came forward and said: "There is a thief who peeped at the princess and let my brother run away, but unfortunately he was not caught." ”

The princess smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid he's already seen my face." ”

Zhong Wei smiled: "It's okay. It's too late for them to do anything. ”

It turned out that the pedestrians put a kind of poison in the tea cup of Princess Jian'an that night, and the medicine was very slow, and the symptoms after poisoning were like chickenpox.

Blisters may form all over the body. It's just that people who have chickenpox are more likely to have headaches and vomit, while people who get the poison won't. What he adds to the censer causes headaches and vomiting. When these two things are added together, it is a complete "chickenpox" disease. If you treat chickenpox, it will obviously delay your efforts. This move is not to prevent others, but only to prevent Concubine Ning. The blisters of the affected person will first appear on the face, and the scab will leave a scar. After the hair on the body, there is a foul smell that does not disperse. If you don't treat it early, it will be as little as half a month, or as much as two months, and you will die. When the time comes, it will naturally be the fault of quacks.

When the Empress Dowager's spies heard that Princess Jian'an was wearing heavy makeup, they thought it was to cover her scars, and she thought it was to cover up the stench when she added spices, and waited for her to die with peace of mind. I didn't want to wait for many days, not only did she leave for Beijing, but she was even about to go to the capital, and she didn't die yet! Death is long overdue, isn't it? Therefore, knowing that King Lu sent a master to escort him, he still had to find out. It happened that Princess Jian'an took off her makeup early because it was late. But it happened that it was a big moon tonight, and I could see it clearly-the skin was like clotted fat, the white jade was flawless, and there was no scar on the face at all! Thinking about the spies' lost tightness.

On the other hand, the health hall finally found out. Mrs. Liu is the adopted daughter of Qin Ye, who was the first to go to the health hall to check her origin, suspecting that she was the orphan of Prince Xianyizhong. She was married to Ning Guofu as her granddaughter, and then she was sent out as a nun because of her father-in-law, and then married a rich man surnamed Liu. She was not born in a place where she was a monk, but she went to the south of the city to practice for a while. And the presiding officer of Zhenwuan, Jingyuan Shitai, is the daughter of Prince Xianyizhong, the lord of Jinyang.

Check her husband Liu Xianglian again, he is just an ordinary son of a family, and he was broken for a few days in his early years. After following the Taiping Dart Bureau to protect the dart for a few years, because he made some money, he opened his own Liu's timber store. The person's identity is clear and not suspicious.

And the spies of S.H.I.E.L.D. also followed the cart that came out of the Faxiang Temple, the family temple of Liguo Mansion, and tracked down a large antique shop called Yinfengju. The owner of this shop has also suddenly appeared in the past three or four years, and he has a lot of good goods in his hand, I don't know where he got it from, and he is also very rich. Shi Li looked at the file of this hidden phoenix residence and couldn't help but shoot the case: "Good life and wealth!" The master couldn't help but want to eat black. ”

The Rongguo Mansion had already prepared a courtyard for Jia Huan. Because the princess is noble and cannot be placed at will, Jia Zheng made the decision and cleaned up the original courtyard of Jia's mother for them. Jia Huan didn't know that his new daughter-in-law was so hung that people were poisoned, and he was waiting to be the groom's official with joy.
