Sheng Xuejian didn't know that Sheng Xueyan had such big ambitions, and since she married into Prince Gong's mansion, she actually didn't have much time to stare at Sheng Xueyan.
Because of her pregnancy, Sheng Xue soon felt a little sleepy. Sheng Xueyan observed her words and did not stay long, and at this time, the princess also came, and she obediently got up and said goodbye.
It's just that after Sheng Xueyan went out, she didn't go back to Orchid Garden directly, but went directly to Feifeng Tower. The current Feifeng Building has been seized, and it has long lost its previous grandeur. But Sheng Xueyan didn't care about this matter.
Before, she vaguely heard about Feifeng Tower and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites at the gathering of the nobles. But because this matter didn't have much to do with her at that time, she didn't care.
But just now she was outside the door, and she clearly heard Sheng Xuejian mention the matter of Feifeng Tower. Could it be that Feifeng Tower has anything to do with Sheng Xuejian?
When Sheng Xue saw that she was not married before, Sheng Xueyan only knew that she liked the delicacies of Feifenglou very much, and she ordered someone to buy them back, and the cooks of Feifenglou were about to become their cooks.
It's just that Sheng Xueyan never thought about whether this Feifeng Tower would be opened by Sheng Xuejian?
Thinking like this, she involuntarily approached Feifeng Tower, and the official who guarded Feifeng Tower immediately stepped forward to stop Sheng Xueyan: "The government is handling important cases, you go away!" ”
Sheng Xueyan took a few steps back, not annoyed, but smiled at the official, the bright smile made the official shake, and couldn't help but soften her tone: "Little girl, go home quickly." This is not the place to play around. ”
"I heard that this Feifeng Tower used to be very lively, big brother, what happened?" Sheng Xueyan didn't walk away. On the contrary, it is close to the official errand.
The official was really bored to guard Feifeng Tower all day, and now suddenly a little lady came to chat with him, and she looked pretty good, so she was interested, and she talked to Sheng Xueyan about the recent case.
Sheng Xueyan listened very carefully, and after a long time, she sorted out the ins and outs of the matter in her heart. It turned out that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials spent a lot of money in Feifeng Building and pulled out the ink corruption case.
And this lady of the Ministry of Rites wanted to buy Feifeng Tower, and asked the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion to buy it, and almost dragged the Prime Minister into the water.
But Sheng Xueyan had heard Sheng Xueyan in the palace before that he had said that he wanted to settle the people in Feifeng Tower. Could it be that the owner of this Feifeng Tower is actually Sheng Xuejian?
The Book of Rites was pulled down. In fact, Sheng Xuejian is the driving force behind the scenes?
When this idea just popped out of her mind, Sheng Xueyan herself was scared into a cold sweat.
She had the opportunity to enter and exit the circle of nobles this year, and she could be said to know a little about the situation in the court, and she had long known that Prince Gong's Mansion and King Jin's Mansion were very close. I didn't expect Sheng Xue to start planning so early.
Sheng Xueyan is Sheng Yuanlian's biological daughter after all. She's not stupid either. If Sheng Xuejian, such a behind-the-scenes promoter, is pushed to the table, in what direction will things go?
Everyone said that the emperor was very suspicious and hated party strife the most. Sheng Xue saw that this move was tantamount to offending the emperor's rebellion. Thinking of this, Sheng Xueyan smiled happily.
Sheng Xuejian, it turns out that you still let me catch the handle, didn't you?
After inquiring about some news with the official who guarded Feifeng Tower, Sheng Xueyan went back to the Orchid Garden satisfied.
At this time, Hongmei also brought back the news of Shopkeeper Li.
"Princess, Shopkeeper Li said that everything has been arranged. The rumor came from the palace. It's just that the sparrows in the palace are really limited. So ......"
"I see." Sheng Xue saw that it was from the palace. I knew in my heart that this matter was irreparable. Since it was rumored in the palace, the emperor must have known about it.
"Among those who come these days to give rewards and gifts. Is there an emperor? Sheng Xue thought about it and asked more.
After Bai Mei flipped out the booklet and checked it carefully, she said, "There is no emperor." ”
Sheng Xue sighed softly when she saw it, the emperor really minded. She pinched her eyebrows a little tiredly, in the end, it was still a bad move.
The person who spread the rumors, without thinking about it, could guess that it was Lin Guifei, and this time she did win.
It's just that what Sheng Xue didn't expect was that there was more than one bad thing.
"Miss! Oh no! Something happened to the young master! Ah Huahuo rushed in in a hurry, and replied without saying anything.
"Xuehan?" Sheng Xue immediately panicked when she heard the young master, her relatives were her weakness: "Say it quickly, what happened?" ”
"The young master fainted in the palace, and he hasn't woken up yet, and Concubine De has already asked for a doctor. Concubine De's personal female official came and said please come into the palace and take a look. ”
"What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and prepare your carriages!" Thinking of her younger brother, Sheng Xue saw that she was a little ownerless, not to mention hearing the news that Didi was unconscious.
The carriage entered the palace as fast as possible, and when Sheng Xue saw Concubine De's palace, Sheng Xuehan was still lying on the bed, showing no sign of waking up.
I thought that the elderly imperial doctor was taking his brother's pulse unhurriedly. Sheng Xue immediately became anxious when she saw this situation, turned around and asked Concubine De on the side: "What's wrong with my brother?" Why don't you ask for a white doctor? ”
Because her dearest brother fainted, Sheng Xue saw that she had forgotten her breath in a hurry. Concubine De was originally a little apologetic, but listening to Sheng Xuejian's questioning tone, she was unhappy.
After all, she is the emperor's concubine, and now she is still helping the queen to assist in the sixth palace, who is not respectful to her. Although this Sheng Xue saw that she had helped her a lot, she was so arrogant, it was really unusual.
"Can't you see, fainted." Concubine De replied lightly.
Sheng Xue saw that listening to Concubine De's voice, her heart immediately became cold.
She pushed away the old imperial doctor regardless of it, and picked up her younger brother on the bed: "Concubine De is disturbed, and the courtiers will take her younger brother back!" ”
When Concubine De saw Sheng Xue seeing this, she immediately felt that something was wrong, she and Sheng Xue had always been kind, and this time there was a conflict, and she always felt bad, so she eased her face and explained.
"What are you doing, it's not that this palace doesn't invite a doctor. It's just that all the imperial doctors were called to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and only Imperial Doctor Zhang was left. Your brother kicked the quilt last night and contracted the cold. It's just that I fainted, it doesn't matter. ”
Although Concubine De tried her best to explain, these words were even more unpleasant to Sheng Xuejian's ears. What does it matter? People have fainted, can it still be called okay?
"Thank you Concubine De for your compassion, since there is no imperial doctor in the palace, the courtiers should be the younger brother and ask Gao Ming, thank you Concubine De for taking care of me for this time."
Sheng Xue saw that the old lady doctor had taken the pulse for a long time and did not say a word. I was in a hurry, and I just wanted to go out of the palace to find a doctor for treatment.
Concubine De is afraid that if she delays any longer, something will really go wrong. didn't say much, let Sheng Xue see that the adults took it away.
Sheng Xuejian directly brought people back to the Orchid Garden, and immediately asked Hongmei to invite the doctors from all over the city to treat Sheng Xuehan.
It's just that the doctor's words scared Sheng Xuejian a lot.
"The princess, the little boy is not an occasional cold. It's poison. "All the doctors came to the same conclusion. Sheng Xue couldn't believe it.
"How could it be poisoning?"
"The little boy has been injected with poison for a long time, but the dose is relatively small each time, and his body will become weaker and weaker, and he can't usually see it. It's just that this time I accidentally fell heavy, and I fainted. The doctor explained to Sheng Xuejian again.
"You're saying he's been poisoned by chronic poison? When was this medicine ordered, and can it be found? Sheng Xue saw that his heart was cold, and he could be poisoned for a long time, so he must be the person next to Xue Han. But Xue Han is too young, after entering the palace. It has always been taken care of by the grandmothers of the five princes.
"It was about twenty days ago. If the dose of this poison is small, it will slowly become addictive over time, and once the drug is stopped, it will make people anxious and even lose their minds, and if the dose is too heavy, it will kill you. ”
The doctor's words made Sheng Xuejian like a thunderbolt from the blue, an addictive medicine, did he want to control Xue Han, and then control her?
Thinking of Concubine De's tone in the palace just now, Sheng Xue gasped when she saw it. I always thought that Concubine De was a good ally, but she almost forgot that Concubine De also has a son now, and the concubine of the Marquis Mansion of the Battle Suit has just married the concubine of the General's Mansion!
The power of the five princes is also growing quietly, why is she so confused, she actually put Xue Han by Concubine De's side, isn't this taking the initiative to give her weakness to Concubine De!
Sheng Xue saw in her heart, in addition to regretting not being at the beginning, she still regretted not being at the beginning.
She only thought about letting Xue Han avoid Sheng Xueyan, but she didn't expect to jump into a bigger wolf den.
"Princess, fortunately, the little boy was poisoned not long ago, this poison can be solved, but the little boy has to suffer a little." The doctor said. Sheng Xue nodded tiredly: "Please ask the doctor to make a prescription." ”
Ah Hua led the doctors out, but Hongmei looked at Sheng Xuejian worriedly and asked, "Concubine Shizi, does Concubine De want to blackmail you with the little son?" ”
"I'm not going to let her get away with it!" Sheng Xuejian's eyes burst with hatred, Concubine De's hand, she must return a tooth for a tooth!
Concubine De in the palace actually didn't know what was going on, she tightly thought that Sheng Xuehan was just infected with the cold, until the palace maid came to report that the palace maid who had been serving and taking care of Sheng Xuehan committed suicide by poisoning, and Concubine De realized that something was wrong.
But then Sheng Yuanlian made a twist and turn, saying that Sheng Xuehan was poisoned. Concubine De wanted to investigate thoroughly at this time, but found that the most important witness was dead.
The emperor punished Concubine De for a crime of lax imperial laxity and fined her for one year and three months. The matter finally settled down. Sheng Xuehan returned to the Orchid Garden, and he no longer had to enter the palace to be the companion of the five princes.
This news came to the harem, and when Concubine Lin heard about it, a smile of victory finally appeared on her face, and it was not in vain that she had been laying out for so long, and finally broke up Concubine De and Sheng Xuejian.
So far, Sheng Xue has lost the powerful eyes and ears of Concubine De in the harem, and Concubine De has also lost a wise man like Sheng Xuejian.
After the matter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu ended, Duanmu Jinghua also kept coming from the border pass, and the three cities that were originally taken away by Nangong were quickly recovered. The military officials above the court are all praising Duanmu Jinghua's ability.
Only the emperor was unhappy, and Prince Gong was also unhappy.
When he came back from the palace, Prince Gong looked worried, and when the family was eating, the princess was unhappy and said: "Your son has won such a big battle, and you are actually unhappy?" ”
"The reputation of Prince Nangong Magical Phoenix Crown is not boastful, his strength is not under Jinghua, and it is not his style to retreat step by step." Prince Gong is worried about fraud.
The princess is not the kind of person who is proud and complacent, and when she heard the prince say this, she also thought about it seriously.
Sheng Xue thought for a moment and asked, "The soldiers at the border pass before were defeated because they lacked food and grass and couldn't hold weapons. Now that there is enough food and grass, everyone has the strength, so they are also full of energy? ”
In the bottom of her heart, Sheng Xue still felt that her father-in-law was unmatched.
"That's right! It's also possible. "The princess is like a wall grass, where the wind comes from, it falls.
"Truly you are a woman's opinion, and I will not tell you." Seeing that no one paid attention to his words, the prince suddenly didn't want to continue the topic.
But the prince's words still entered Sheng Xuejian's heart, what if Nangong really cheated? At this time, she really wanted to fly to the north and tell Duanmu Jinghua to be more careful.
But Sheng Xue saw that before she had time to worry about Duanmu Jinghua, a big trouble came to her again.
Since breaking off contact with Concubine De, the number of sparrows in the palace is not much, and a lot of news Sheng Xuejian always realizes later, and in desperation, Sheng Xuejian has to use Wanhualu.
On this day, the princess finally agreed to Sheng Xuejian and let her go out.
"Did you bring soft felt? The thin quilt is a little bit, too! The princess stood at the door and couldn't help but ask.
Sheng Xue replied with some tears and laughter: "Mother, I'm just going shopping, not traveling." ”
"That's not good, you're a person with a body now, you really don't have to let me accompany you?" The princess had anticipation in her eyes.
Sheng Xuejian quickly shook her head: "I really don't need it." ”
Hongmei smiled and helped Sheng Xue to get into the car, Sheng Xue saw that she was walking very fast, for fear that the princess would change her mind.
The carriage left the palace and went to the downtown area. Hongmei lifted the curtain and asked Sheng Xuejian: "Princess Shizi, you haven't said where you are going?" ”
"Go to Datong Buzhuang." Sheng Xuejian said a name.
Hongmei turned her head and said to the coachman, Baimei was a little strange: "Why haven't I heard of Datong Cloth Village, is the cloth there particularly good?" ”
When she arrived at Datong Cloth Village, Bai Mei looked carefully, but found that there was nothing extraordinary. When Sheng Xue saw that he got out of the carriage, he ordered: "You guys are guarding outside the door of the store, and I can go in alone." ”
At this time, Bai Mei realized that the young lady was not here to buy cloth, but had something to do.
As soon as the shopkeeper of Datong Cloth Village saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him: "This lady, what fabric do you want to buy?" ”
Sheng Xue saw that she bluntly showed the jade card in her hand: "Where is Si Huashi now?" ”
The shopkeeper's face immediately became serious, and he lifted the curtain in the inner room: "Lord, please come with the little one." (To be continued......)
