Chapter 771: Red Dust
Is this Jing Concubine as she seems on the surface, incompetent and timid, or is all this just a disguise, but in fact she is a pig and a tiger?
Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh silently when he thought of this.
If it is based on her guess, the other party is probably more of the latter, it seems that this Jing Concubine Niangniang, who was underestimated by herself in her previous life, is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Concubine Jing had a gentle smile from beginning to end, and when she spoke, her voice was soft and soft for fear of scaring people.
Qin Huaiyu listened to the tone of her words, and responded to the two voices from time to time, and it was quite harmonious to see it.
After sitting for about half an hour, seeing that Concubine Jing's eyebrows were a little tired, Qin Huaiyu got up and said with a smile: "I have disturbed the mother for a long time, you can rest first, and the concubine will go back." β
Hearing this, Concubine Jing smiled and asked the maid to send her, but was rejected by Qin Huaiyu.
When she didn't want to go to the door, she met a maid coming to add incense to the incense shrine, and the smell made her feet stop.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her stop, Concubine Jing asked with a smile, "But have you pulled down anything?"
Qin Huaiyu quietly glanced at the fragrant maid, and then smiled: "Not really, but this fragrance smells good, is it exclusively provided by Niangniang here?"
Seeing that she was a little interested, Concubine Jing knew what she meant when she heard the song, shook her head with a smile and said, "What kind of identity am I, but just a concubine, where can I have special spices? Speaking of which, this one seems to be a new one. β
When she said this, she glanced at Qin Huaiyu again, and instructed with a smile: "But since the princess likes it, then let the maids bring some back and keep them for you to enjoy." Udon, give Princess Huai'an a box of spices. β
Hearing Concubine Jing's words, Qin Huaiyu hurriedly refused with a smile, because she said: "It's just that I smell this smell and feel fresh and elegant, and it's not to the point where I have to win people's love, so the girl doesn't have to bother." β
She thanked Concubine Jing again and again, and exchanged a few words with her before turning around and going out.
After Qin Huaiyu left, the smile on Concubine Jing's lips was not closed, and she turned around to look at the maid who added incense, and said, "Who asked you to add fragrance at this time?"
The voice was not heavy, but the maid instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "The slave is guilty!"
"If you are guilty, then go down and receive your punishment. β
Concubine Jing didn't look at her, turned around and walked to the table and sat down, waved her hand, and the people in the palace went down one after another.
After a while, only she and Udon were left in the huge hall.
Concubine Jing played with the Kodan in her hand, and her expression was a little distant: "This Princess Huai'an...... It's not what I imagined. β
Hearing her words, Udon lowered his eyes and said, "To be able to marry the King of Huai'an, there are naturally some means. β
Hearing this, Concubine Jing didn't know what she was thinking, she just snorted and said, "I underestimated herβhow is the Sixth Highness?"
She suddenly changed the topic, Udon had long been accustomed to it, because she replied: "Now His Royal Highness is in Dali Temple, but he is a nobleman in Tianhuang, and the people in Dali Temple don't dare to do anything." It's just that now that Qin Hongkite can't catch it for a day, His Highness is afraid that he will be even more passive. β
If Qin Hongyuan is caught, those things can still be pushed on her. But now that he can't catch anyone, Gu Mingjue can only stay inside and face the emperor's anger.
Her words obviously made Concubine Jing's face more and more ugly, and her nails made a harsh sound on the table, but she didn't realize it, she just said coldly: "Why did you let a woman toss to this point?"
To her words, Udon just lowered his eyes and did not answer.
Obviously, Concubine Jing didn't need her answer, and after a long while, she said, "Find Qin Hongkite at all costs." β
She only has this one son, and she must not be planted in this.
No matter what the truth of the matter is in the end, Qin Hongkite's scourge must not be left behind!
Hearing Concubine Jing's words, Udon replied respectfully: "The slave maid will do it." β
Seeing that she turned around to leave, Concubine Jing stopped her and said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing, go check on Princess Huai'an." I want all her information, no matter how big or small. β
As soon as these words came out, Udon's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Yes." β
......
Qin Huaiyu didn't know that so many things had happened after she left, and she didn't know that her vague intuition was actually right.
This Jing Concubine is indeed wrong before.
She is not an indisputable character at all, but she has had too little contact with each other in her past and present lives, but she has been misled.
However, as long as she thinks about it carefully, she will find that in fact, Jing Concubine should not be an indisputable character.
Otherwise, in such a palace where you can eat people, I am afraid that you will not live long at all.
There is nothing wrong with using the world as a disguise, hiding his sharpness, and trying to live in the shadows.
However, a person can disguise for a while, but if he continues to disguise for such a long time without revealing his feet, I am afraid that his scheming is unusually deep.
If this is the case, then Jing Concubine is too terrible.
In fact, Qin Huaiyu was not quite sure if what he was thinking was right.
If it weren't for the coincidence of the events that happened one after another in these days, I'm afraid Qin Huaiyu wouldn't have noticed the clues at all.
And that spice......
Qin Huaiyu bit his lip, and his eyebrows became more and more frowned.
The spice is not a thing from Xichu, it is something that the Ministry of Internal Affairs offers, and it should not be given to Lingnan.
She was sure that she was not wrong, after all, as Zhang Chenglin's apprentice, if she couldn't even figure these things out, then she would live in vain.
But what shocked her was that Concubine Jing had an affair with Lingnan?
As soon as this thought came out, she instantly froze in place.
If Concubine Jing has something to do with Lingnan, then how much did she participate in the planning and layout in her previous life?
Qin Huaiyu didn't dare to think about it for a while, her pace sped up a little, she needed to see Gu Mingyuan quickly and tell him these things!
Even if it's just a guess, don't be careless!
She ran outside the imperial study and saw Gu Mingyuan walking out of it and taking a look at herself.
"Why are you running in such a hurry?"
When Gu Mingyuan saw her, the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes instantly dissipated, and only gentleness remained.
He held Qin Huaiyu and wanted to tease something, but when he saw that the other party's eyes were a little anxious, he smiled and asked, "But what's wrong?"
Originally, there were many things that I couldn't wait to tell him, but now that I saw Gu Mingyuan and saw the calming light in his eyes, Qin Huaiyu suddenly calmed down.
She took a deep breath, bit her lip and said, "Well, something did happen, but let's go back and talk about it." β
When Qin Huaiyu said this, he glanced at Gu Mingyuan again and asked, "Can we go home now?"
In fact, this question is a bit redundant, after all, Gu Mingyuan has come out of the imperial study, so naturally he has already finished talking to the emperor.
Gu Mingyuan was not half impatient, but replied to her with gentle eyebrows: "Well, we can go home now." β
As he spoke, he took Qin Huaiyu's hand and turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
The carriage was already waiting outside, Gu Mingyuan helped Qin Huaiyu into the carriage first, and then followed himself, and after the guards put the curtain down, he said, "Let's go." β
The carriage was moving along, and Qin Huaiyu was sitting opposite Gu Mingyuan, holding a small and delicate soup woman in his hand.
The temperature on it was transmitted to her palm, which also made Qin Huaiyu gradually calm down.
"I just came out of the cold palace and was called over by Concubine Jing to drink tea. β
As soon as Qin Huaiyu's words came out, Gu Mingyuan's eyebrows instantly turned a little colder, and he asked, "What did she tell you to do?"
For Jing Concubine, Gu Mingyuan didn't know why, there was a natural dislike.
Even if this woman is indisputable on any occasion, this does not prevent Gu Mingyuan from having a sense of crisis as soon as he sees her.
Seeing him like this, Qin Huaiyu pondered for a while, explained what happened at that time, and said at the end: "It's nothing else, but before I left, I saw that the maid had changed to a new incense, and the spice was red dust." β
The world is full of poison, led by Lingnan.
Among the Lingnan, there is a plant that is the most peculiar.
The sacred tree is green, the roots save people, and the flowers and leaves kill.
Above the blue sky, there is the divine bird Xuancang, which depends on him for his livelihood, and feeds on the sap in the bark of the tree.
The place where the saliva left by the peck of Xuancang can be used as an introduction.
Combining 30 kinds of raw materials, and then there is this small piece of bark, it is made into the world's hard-to-find - red dust.
One gram of gold is worth a fortune.
Qin Huaiyu was sure that she was not wrong at that time, because she had seen Hongchen at Zhang Chenglin's place, and the old man was very cautious at that time.
One of them is that you can raise Gu.
Lingnan witchcraft is prevalent, and there are very few people who have spread to Xichu, if it weren't for Zhang Chenglin, I'm afraid Qin Huaiyu would never have heard of this kind of thing in his life.
That's why she paid more attention, at that time, she only thought that this kind of thing was very novel, who knew that what made her remember deeply, turned her head and appeared in the palace of Concubine Jing!
As soon as Qin Huaiyu's words came out, Gu Mingyuan's expression also cooled down, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
Seeing Qin Huaiyu nodding, Gu Mingyuan's eyebrows became more and more cold, and he said, "Hongchen...... Even Master's place, there are only a few. You say, she uses it as a spice?"
Qin Huaiyu carefully recalled the situation at the time and affirmed: "That's true, but the taste of red dust in it is very light, and I don't want to add much." I asked her at the time, but it was for a special supply, but she said that it was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs casually. β
This is a big problem, where did the Ministry of Internal Affairs get the money and channels to take this red dust as an introduction and add it to the spices?
And it's still given at will, if it's either their brains, or Concubine Jing is lying.
And the result, obviously.
