Chapter 209: Unexpected
"Yes, if Nie Liu hadn't said it, I really didn't know that Li Sanye, who was famous for his idleness, would have won the Sacred Heart alone. But it's also a loss, otherwise we wouldn't have succeeded in our plan. After all, even if Cousin Xuan came forward and personally lobbied Li Daxue, it would be a big problem for Li Daxue to refuse to offend Concubine Xian for the sake of the Wen family, but fortunately, Li Sanye was very favored by the saints, and the Li family also relied on it, otherwise this matter might really be the result. Xu Yourong said with a smile.
"Is this a foregone conclusion?" Xu Youshan was also very happy, although this time it seemed on the bright side, it was just a trivial matter, and Concubine Xian didn't mean to lose the face of Emperor Zhou Hui, after all, she didn't know that the Wen family and the Li family would suddenly join forces to make such a move, right?
But the speed of fermentation of this matter is much more serious than imagined, even Xu Youshan is a little puzzled, in their previous plan, they just wanted Concubine Xian to plant a heel, but they thought that this heel was not much bigger. But who knows, just from the gossip I heard in the past two days, I can already know that since the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet that day, Concubine Xian's life seems to be extremely difficult.
"This thing is also surprisingly true, since the Dragon Boat Festival, not only has the saint not stepped into the palace again, but even the power of the five halls of Chengxiang Palace, Hanyuan Palace and Yanying Palace has been transferred back to the hands of Concubine De. And when the saint does this, he is not only cutting the power of Concubine Xian, but also giving Concubine De the ability to fight with Concubine Xian again? But I just can't figure out how the saint could be so angry with Concubine Xian this time. Xu Youshan said puzzled.
"You can't figure this out, huh?" Xu Mingcheng slapped Xu Youshan's little brain funny. said: "In the Chunhui Hall on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Xian lost face like this, and the saint was naturally annoyed by her. But like you said, no matter how annoying you are, it is impossible to cause such serious consequences as now, but Sister Shan, you forgot that there is another person. β
"Who?" Xu Youshan asked Xu Mingcheng very sincerely.
"Of course, it's Concubine De, Concubine De is not an ordinary person, and Concubine Xu Xian is suffering right now. How could she not have fallen into the well in a hurry? And Concubine De has been very fortunate to be favored by the saint recently, so isn't this pillow wind even better. What's more, in addition to Concubine De, there are also Queen Mothers who have recently had a disagreement with Concubine Xian. Although the Queen Mother can't say anything in front of the saint, but adding oil and vinegar to make Concubine Xian's situation worse, the Queen Mother can still do it. "Xu Mingcheng is like an old gentleman. Shaking his head, he said.
"I see." And Xu Youshan after listening to Xu Mingxi's words. I immediately understood something. Indeed, when Emperor Zhou Hui is now lingering on Concubine De again, Concubine De's pillow style still has a great effect on Emperor Zhou Hui, and the virtuous concubine is making Emperor Zhou Hui, who loves face the most, lose face in front of his important ministers once, so compared with Concubine De, Emperor Zhou Hui is naturally more biased towards Concubine De.
"But isn't that the best outcome for us? So we just have to be happy. Xu Yourong didn't care about the other two at all. is just focused on the food in front of him, not like Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan at all. I'm still thinking about what kind of virtuous concubine and concubine De, she is a leisurely person.
But sometimes it's not good to be too leisurely, Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Yourong's heartless appearance, suddenly squinted, then bent his lips and smiled, and said to Xu Yourong: "Sister Rong, I heard about something recently, I don't know if it's true or not, I want to ask you for verification." β
"Oh, what's the matter, tell me about it." Xu Yourong didn't feel the danger approaching at all, but continued to feast. But Xu Youshan, who was beside Xu Yourong, saw Xu Mingming's eyes narrow, so she felt that she flashed to the side, trying to avoid the coming storm.
"I heard, a few days ago, Grandpa Nie took Nie Liu to Dongyang Lane to propose marriage, and Uncle Nie and the two old people seem to have agreed, right?" Xu Mingcheng said without being salty, but Xu Yourong's face turned red quickly, and his hands froze in the air. Even Xu Youshan, who was about to move a foot away on the side, was immediately frozen in place.
"Sister Huan, are you telling the truth?" Xu Youshan reacted the fastest to come back from the standing, and then ran back, grabbed Xu Mingxi's hand and asked.
"Of course it's true......"
"Xu Mingxi!!" Xu Yourong got up suddenly, bypassed the stone table, and covered Xu Mingcheng's mouth, so that her words were all choked in her throat, but at this time, it was two to one, how could Xu Yourong have a chance of winning? Therefore, it didn't take long for Xu Yourong to be subdued by Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, and the two immediately talked in detail about Nie Suxun going to Dongyang Lane and proposing to Xu Yourong.
"Sister Shan, don't you know, Nie Liuduo is sincere, and personally asked Grandpa Nie to propose marriage to Sister Rong for him, and he also brought the Nie family's flat plate Sihe Ruyi as an exchange token for family affairs." Xu Mingcheng said extremely exaggeratedly.
"Wow, Nie Liugongzi actually brought a flat plate Sihe Ruyi? Tut-tut...... Eldest sister, it seems that Nie Liugongzi has true affection for you. Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong with great emotion, but Xu Yourong, who was tied to one arm by Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan, was so red that she was about to drip blood at this time, but she couldn't resist, so she could only watch these two bad guys talk more and more shy.
And the flat plate Sihe Ruyi that can make Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan sigh so much is something that no one knows in the divine capital, because this is a treasure given by the ancestor to the ancestors of the Nie family back then.
But the reason why this flat plate is well-known to everyone in the divine capital is not only because of its own magic and rarity, but also because of the ancestor of the Nie family, who was given this flat plate by the ancestor, did not forget the old covenant when he was in power and was extremely favored. returned to his hometown thousands of miles away, and took his fiancΓ©e, who had been waiting for him for 12 years, to Beijing, and was married under the personal officiation of Gaozu. Such a promise and an uncomplaining waiting. It was also regarded as a good story in the future, and with the standing of the Nie family of the Zhenguo Mansion, it has been sung endlessly, so this flat plate is so famous.
"But it's not right, the Nie family doesn't have two sons-in-law, and the sixth son of Nie also has a brother. It's Grandpa Nie's eldest son, so not to mention that Nie's eldest son hasn't married yet, anyway, Nie's sixth son and eldest sister are just making a family deal. But this flat plate is all right. If Nie Liugongzi gave the eldest sister as an exchange token for family affairs, what should Nie Gongzi do? Xu Youshan said strangely.
"You don't know this, this flat plate is four and two pieces." Xu Mingcheng explained to Xu Youshan.
"Oh. That's no wonder. This is just right, one piece of Nie eldest son, and one piece of Nie Sixth Son. But eldest sister, since the marriage has been decided, when will the marriage be completed? Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong teasingly, smiling so unhappily, but Xu Yourong's bright and pretty face was a little redder.
"You two are alright, let me go."
"That's not going to work. Unless you tell us how you agreed to Nie Liu's marriage proposal to you. Don't say you didn't know in advance, if Nie Liu hadn't gotten your approval first, he would never have asked Grandpa Nie to go to Dongyang Lane to propose marriage. β
Xu Mingxiang's preemptive words made Xu Yourong's rebuttal swallowed like that, but she still didn't admit it, anyway, she had been struggling, so that Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan had a good life After "torture", they finally confessed honestly, although she was divided into eight times to finish one sentence, but Xu Mingyan and Xu Youshan, who are in a good mood now, have time, so they finally grinded out everything.
"Hey, I didn't expect Nie Liu to be quite romantic." Xu Mingcheng said with a laugh.
"yes, yes." Xu Youshan nodded in agreement.
But just when Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan were about to tease Xu Yourong for a few words, Mother Liu walked over briskly from outside, leaned over and whispered a few words in Xu Youshan's ear, Xu Youshan's face changed greatly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng noticed that something was wrong at the first time, and then hurriedly put away their joking looks, and sat down next to Xu Youshan, looking at her with concern. In Xu Yourong and Xu Mingming's impressions, it seems that there are very few things that can see Xu Youshan's face change so drastically.
"The news of Mother Wu just came from the palace, saying that Leng Xinyun suddenly fainted, and after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, it was poisoned, and the poisonous weed was now found by Mama Zhao in the flower bed of Bowei Houyun." Xu Youshan said with a sinking face, but her tone was not heavy, but Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng both turned bad after listening to it, how could the two of them not be angry after such an obvious frame-up? And Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng will never believe that Xu Youshan will poison people, even if that person is very likely to be the main messenger of the accident that almost killed Xu Youshan in the carriage not long ago.
"Eldest sister, sister Huan, I'm going back to the Chu Palace." Xu Youshan suddenly got up and said to Xu Yourong and Xu Ming.
"Well, okay, you should go back quickly at this time, don't let others take advantage of the gap." Xu Mingcheng nodded and said.
"If something happens that we can't deal with, send someone to inform us, do you know?" Xu Yourong took Xu Youshan's hand and instructed heavily, with some worry in her voice, while Xu Youshan tried to smile at them before hurriedly holding Liu's mother's hand and walking towards Meilin.

Chu Wangfu, Ming Xiao Courtyard.
At this time, it is the end of the Shen time, but the sky in the summer solstice, at this time is still bright, if you don't pay attention, you still think that this is just after noon, you will not think at all, at this time is already not far from the nightfall. However, no matter how bright the sky is at this time, everyone in Mingxiao Courtyard will not feel that the oppressive atmosphere has improved.
But the atmosphere is oppressive? Yes, the atmosphere is depressing, since Xie Jing returned home, after listening to the report of Wen Ge, he rushed to Mingxiao Courtyard, and the atmosphere in Mingxiao Courtyard was still as loose as before, but it was suddenly depressed for a while, especially after Xie Jing and Zhao Mama were silent after saying a few words, everyone in Mingxiao Courtyard did not dare to come out.
"Sister Yaoyi, what should I do? Wang Ye and Mama Zhao have been in a stalemate for a long time. β
In the courtyard, a little maid looked at Yaoyi worriedly, hoping that this big girl, who was usually very dignified in front of Mama Zhao, could relieve the pressure on these little people. But after the little maid asked for a while, Yaoyi just stood silently without any response.
"Sister Yaoyi?" The little maid called out again uneasily.
"Don't talk too much, this is the master's business, how can we have anything to talk about, if you don't want to be transferred out of Mingxiao Courtyard, just stay quietly." The little maid saw that Yaoyi didn't react, and just wanted to call again, but Yaoyi suddenly spoke, which made the little maid startled, so she hurriedly walked aside to stay quietly, not daring to bother Yaoyi anymore.
It's just that just when Mingxiao Courtyard was quiet again, a mother-in-law ran in in a panic, which made Yaoyi frown, and just wanted to reprimand her twice, but she was immediately shocked by her mother-in-law's words: "Miss Yaoyi, it's not good, there is news from Ramie Zhai, saying that it is the cold concubine who has just settled down, and the toxin has recurred at this time." β
Yao Yi didn't dare to delay when she heard this, and immediately ran into the house to inform Xie Jing and Mama Zhao, and later, when Xu Youshan returned to the palace, what she saw was that everyone in the palace looked cautious and panicked.
"Princess, what should I do now, should I go back to Bowei Houyun first, or go to Ramie Zhai first?" Mother Liu looked at the scene in front of her, and the bad premonition in her heart was highlighted, but her tone was still very calm in Xu Youshan's ears, which made Xu Youshan inexplicably stabilize her rapid heartbeat.
"Let's go to the empty mountain residence first." After pondering for a moment, Xu Youshan said something unexpectedly.
But after Liu's mother heard the words, she followed Xu Youshan in the direction of the empty mountain residence without saying a word, but when Xu Youshan had just returned to the house, the news of her going to the empty mountain residence immediately spread all over the house, even Xie Jing and Zhao Mama, who were in the ramie at this time, also knew the news of Xu Youshan's return to the house for the first time, but the reactions of the two were completely different, Xie Jing's handsome face that had been tense immediately softened, while Zhao Mama was just flat eyebrows, but at this time they wrinkled slightly.
Xu Youshan came back a little faster! (To be continued.) )
