Chapter 230: The Man Behind the Scenes

This Zhuangzi is one of the most common on the outskirts of the Imperial City, except for a few small courtyards, surrounded by fields, and the air wafts with a faint smell of farmhouse fertilizer, which does not smell very good. So Yan Xiaoyue didn't go out, just stood under a laurel tree and waited quietly, and when the footsteps sounded, Xiaoyue knew that the person she was waiting for had finally come.

"Slave Feilan has seen the county lord!"

Yan Xiaoyue turned around slowly, "Where's the silver bottle?" ”

"My sister is helping the slave and maid pack up her things, and the slave and maid came out to thank the county lord, thank you for the county lord's mercy on the silver bottle, and thank the county lord for saving him!"

Yan Xiaoyue quietly looked at the woman in front of her, her face was good, her clothes were neat, her language was clear and organized, and her attitude was even kinder.

After looking carefully, I found that she was actually dressed as a woman, "The silver bottle helps me a lot on weekdays, you are her only relative, it is rare for her to beg me, I will naturally try my best if I can do it, fortunately, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

"The slave maid thought that she and her sister would be separated forever in this life, and only with the help of the county lord did she have this blessing, and the slave and maid will definitely light the lantern for the county lord in the future, and pray for the county lord day and night."

"No, I'm here to ask you something."

Fei Lan seemed to have been prepared, "The county lord wants to ask about the Li Mansion and the Jin Palace." In fact, the slave and maid are not very clear about this matter. ”

Yan Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, from the news she got yesterday, she thought that Feilan was the person behind the scenes, and she admired it for a long time, and she wanted to come and see it. After seeing the real person, she felt that Feilan was not as scheming as that, so she asked directly.

Feilan has been a slave and maid for so long, and her ability to observe words and emotions can be said to be very familiar, and she immediately spoke: "A few years before the slave maid entered the palace, the princess was not allowed to reuse, just a third-class little maid. At that time, the king of Jin took a fancy to the princess, the princess had a good life, and the maids and servants were of little use. But a few years have passed, and there has been no news from the princess, until a lady gave birth to a son, and the princess gave the face of the people around her to King Jin. The slave and maid were only then slowly used. ”

Yan Xiaoyue also knew this, so she nodded to show her understanding.

Fei Lan continued: "The slave maid's family is engaged in rouge gouache and spice business, and the slave maid was not imprisoned after the incident, but let those thieves be stunned and taken away. They thought I had been asleep, but the slave maid had been learning perfume since I was a child, and ordinary drugs did not have much effect on me, so I could know from their conversation that the mastermind behind the destruction of my family was Li Yanran, the daughter of Zhongshuling. Li Yanran just likes the dense fragrance of my family. is going to harm my whole house's life, and arresting me is to get Fangzi, how can I not repay this revenge? ”

Fei Lan said that this was still hateful, "Later, I found a chance to escape, only to know that I had arrived in the imperial city, and at the same time, I also knew that Li Yanran was going to the Jin Palace, so I went to the Anguo Mansion to sell myself as a slave." Later, she was used by Princess Jin, and she wanted to poison Li Yanran directly, but she also had people who knew medicine in her room to protect her, and ordinary poisons were not good at all. So a few years ago, the slave maid was just looking for an opportunity to start from the kitchen and let her eat more cold food. She couldn't get pregnant for the first few years. ”

It wasn't until the slave saw the silver bottle and knew that her only sister was still alive that she made up her mind. used Princess Jin to push Li Yanran. The slave maid has been making incense since elementary school, but she has not dared to use it since she entered the house, so no one knows that the slave maid also knows a little about medicine. It's just that most of the people I know are medicines used to make spices, among which there is a nine-year-old grass, which is the best for refining cold incense, but it is extremely difficult to obtain, and the slave maid has only seen it once in the nine years of the Jin Dynasty's mansion. So he hid it secretly. Later, Li Yanran was pregnant, and Princess Jin was depressed, so the slave maid found an opportunity to use nine-year-old grass for Princess Jin. ”

When Yan Xiaoyue heard this name for the first time, she asked, "Does the nine-year-old grass have any effect?" ”

"Nine-year-old grass grows in damp places. I don't see sunlight all year round, but I can live for nine years, and I am only a finger long, slender and green, which is the best material for making cold incense, but it is very rare. No one in our family knew that it could also make incense. ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked extremely strange when she heard this, and took out a small emerald green grass from her purse and handed it to Fei Lan, who took it and said in surprise: "How can the county lord have a nine-year-old grass?" ”

"Four years ago, when the first emperor was hunting in winter, I also went with me, and I was lucky enough to get a litter of fire fox cubs, and I found it in their cave, and I happened to see the fire fox cubs eating this little grass, so I took it out, and then gave a fire fox cub and these grasses to the young lady of Yang Mansion."

Fei Lan suddenly said: "Exactly, I remember that it was also that time when I got this grass." The reason why nine-year-old grass is called nine-year-old is because it is as fresh as the first pick for nine years after picking, and it is an excellent collection. ”

Yan Xiaoyue didn't know that this was also what she had just taken out of the space. "What other effect does this nine-year-old grass have besides making incense?" Speaking of making incense, Yan Xiaoyue remembered that the fire fox did not have the smell of an ordinary fox, was it also because of eating this nine-year-old grass?

"In addition to refrigerating the fragrance, nine-year-old grass also has an effect, as long as it is eaten, it is no different from safflower."

Yan Xiaoyue's eyes opened, so it was the credit of this grass that Princess Jin couldn't give birth. "You gave this medicine to Princess Jin?"

Feilan nodded, "Yes, the slave maid found an opportunity to give the princess this medicine after Li Yanran became pregnant, and it happened that Li Yanran said to the princess, 'The princess wants to give birth and wait for the next life!'" When the princess heard this, she immediately invited the imperial doctor to come over, only to know that she had been given a red flower, so she naturally put this matter on Li Yanran. ”

After speaking, Fei Lan also looked suspicious, "Nine-year-old grass only has the effect of safflower temporarily, as long as it is no longer eaten, it will be naturally eliminated in a month, and there is no need for an antidote." The slave maid originally wanted to provoke the princess and let her punish Li Yanran, but for some reason, she would drug the king of Jin, and the prince of Jin finally set the person who drugged Li Yanran, and then there was a rebellion in the palace, and finally failed and was exiled. ”

Yan Xiaoyue nodded, thinking that Feilan should not have lied to her, she couldn't play such a big game of chess, there should be someone else behind it, but who could it be? An Guogong? Or pray for peace?

"Did Princess Jin have contact with the outside world before she was drugged, where did the medicine come from?"

Feilan recalled: "Yes, during that time, the grandmother around the princess often ran out, and the slaves and maids often heard her mention An Guogong and Yi Guifei, and heard that the medicine was a forbidden medicine hidden in the palace, and it may have been obtained by Yi Guifei." ”

Yan Xiaoyue frowned and thought for a while, it can be said clearly here, An Guogong is definitely one of the driving forces behind the scenes, using the two women of the family to play, winning the family to get the position of a queen, and even the future son of heaven, didn't Princess Jin still raise a son in her name? The most I lost is the situation now. How could An Guogong not gamble, everyone wants to gamble, after all, after the completion of King Jin, the Li Mansion is destined to be abandoned.

There is also Qi Anning, Yan Xiaoyue didn't believe that a calculating person like him would go directly to the Xiling border without deployment. Vaguely, Yan Xiaoyue thought of someone, his daughter has a deep love for Qi Anning, he has no reason to push Qi Anning to the front line, don't care, General Yuan. (To be continued.) )
