Chapter 796: Spices
The third prince suddenly stopped and said to the man in black: "The second and fifth have really left the capital?" ”
The third prince seems to be a little unconvinced, in the past, none of the five brothers obeyed anyone, and they thought that their father would make the eldest brother the crown prince, after all, the eldest brother is the son-in-law. Who knows ten years and ten years, so that they see hope. Thinking about it, my father was not optimistic about the eldest brother, otherwise it would not have dragged on for so many years. Seeing that they were over half a hundred years old, their father actually directly appointed Bei Mingfei as the emperor's grandson. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. There are five princes under his father's knees, and he can't even look down on anyone. They couldn't believe it was true, and the five princes of them became a joke in Northern Xinjiang. The father and emperor issued an order to let them all leave the capital. How could the second and fifth children leave the capital so obediently? Naturally, he didn't believe that the second and fifth children left like this, and it was very likely that they were just leaving the capital temporarily.
"Yes, only the housekeeper and some subordinates are left in the palace to take care of the palace." The man in black said.
The third prince waved his hand and asked the man in black to retreat first. And he didn't go back to the main courtyard, but walked to the courtyard of Feng Mingye.
Murong Xi heard the sound in the courtyard, turned around and hurried into the inner room. Feng Mingye sat on the soft floor and drank tea, and when he saw that it was the third prince who came in, the expression on his face was a little surprised, and he asked, "Why did the prince come here at this time?" Is it that the county lord's illness has recurred? ”
The third prince shook his head, and when he saw that there was only Feng Ying Ye in the house, he said: "Hades King, I don't know if Baili Gongzi is in the courtyard, I have some spices in my hand, I want to know if there is a problem with this spice." ”
Feng Mingye's expression did not change, but he was a little surprised in his heart, the third prince would actually suspect that the things in the North Styx Snow Room were mixed with spices. The third prince is really not ordinary, he is so shrewd.
"Night Wind, please come over Bailichen." Feng Mingye said to the door.
The third prince didn't see anyone in the courtyard, but when he heard Feng Mingye say this, he realized that the people who followed Feng Mingye were not simple at all. In this courtyard where he couldn't see, he didn't know how many such guards were hidden.
Bailichen walked in in a hurry, and when Yefeng went to look for him, he told him why the third prince was in the house of Feng Mingye. Bai Lichen secretly sighed that the third prince was the same as the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, he was an old fox.
"Ah Ye, the third prince, could it be that something happened to the county lord?" Bai Lichen asked pretending to be surprised.
"Baili Gongzi, Xue'er doesn't have anything to do at the moment, I came here this time to bring some things, you can take a look at the spices in my hand first." The third prince didn't say anything to Bai Lichen, and directly took out the spices and put them in Bai Lichen's hand.
Bai Lichen took it in his hand and smelled it, after crushing the spices, he tasted it with the tip of his tongue, and rinsed his mouth with tea before saying, "This is ...... Spices in the county lord's house? This taste is exactly the same, was it found by the third prince from the county lord's house? ”
The third prince shook his head and said, "These spices are not from Xue'er's room, but the taste is indeed the same." It is for this reason that I brought it over, hoping that Baili Gongzi will help this king to see if there are any problems. ”
After listening to the words of the third prince, Bai Lichen had no choice but to put the crushed spices into an empty teacup, and then added some water. Soon the spices melted together with the water, and the water became a little cloudy.
Bai Lichen had to admit that this spice was extremely precious, and it was usually only later that the people of the royal family could afford it. Therefore, if this spice was not taken from the Northern Stygian Snow House, it was stolen from other royal palaces. The spices that Murong Xi gave her in the morning must have come from other palaces.
It's just that Bai Lichen couldn't break that this was a spice from other palaces, so he had to say, "There is no problem with this spice." You also said just now that this is not the spice in the county lord, and if the spice in the county lord's house is also like this, then the spice is no problem. It seems that it needs to be started somewhere else. ”
"Baili Gongzi, what should I do if Xue'er always falls asleep? If you have such a high fever, will your head burn out? The third prince said anxiously.
Bai Lichen sneered in his heart, does this old fox really care about Bei Mingxue? It's just that I'm worried that Bei Mingxue won't be able to give him advice in the future.
Bai Lichen nodded and said: "After the county lord takes the medicine, he will slowly get better, but when he will wake up, it depends on the county lord's physical recovery, so I can't be sure in the future." ”
The third prince's face changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He must find out who wants to harm Bei Yingxue, and after he is caught, he will definitely not let her go.
After the third prince left the courtyard, Murong Xi came out of the inner room. Murong Xi sneered and said, "I'm afraid this old fox doesn't really treat Bei Yingxue. ”
"He's just worried that Bei Mingxue won't be able to give him advice anymore, do you think he will treat Bei Mingxue seriously?" Bai Lichen said leisurely.
"He didn't seem to suspect the step-princess, and the spices didn't come from the step-princess." Feng Mingye said lightly.
"Bei Mingxue's previous disguise was very successful, and everyone thought she was kind and gentle, and she was very intelligent. Therefore, it stands to reason that no one in the capital will poison anyone. The third prince probably thought so too, so he investigated the people. Let me continue to guess, presumably the third prince thought that it was someone in the royal family who wanted the life of Bei Yingxue. Murong Xi also muttered.
"Huh? I heard that the second prince and the fifth prince had already left the capital to go to the fiefdom, and the fourth prince was the closest person to the third prince, so naturally there was no need to poison the northern snow. Therefore, the person who is most likely to be suspected by the third prince should be the eldest prince. But...... The third prince is suspicious, maybe in addition to the eldest prince, he will also suspect the fourth prince. Bai Lichen asked.
Feng Mingye continued: "You're right, the third prince must have sent people to other palaces before to find those spices. ”
"Why didn't he suspect the step-princess?" Bai Lichen said with some puzzlement.
"Night Wind said that he saw the step-princess today, and it seems that he is also suspicious of the step-princess. Xu is because the step-princess is pregnant, and he feels that the step-princess will not do such a thing at this time. Feng Mingye said.
"It seems that the third prince underestimated the viciousness of the step-princess, and his daughter was still kept in the dark." Murong Xi said.
"Then should we tell the third prince about this?" Bai Lichen asked.
Murong Xi said with a smile: "Naturally, we must continue to hide it from the third prince, and let him investigate it himself, so that he can really experience the pain of the heart." The child in the womb of the step-princess is innocent and does not need us to do it. ”
"In case the third prince knows that he is the poisonous hand of the step-princess, he will definitely do it to the step-princess." Bai Lichen said with a slight frown.
"He probably wouldn't do anything to his own child, after all, this child is very important to him. If we are really ruthless and ignore the child, we can save the child first. Murong Xi said.
The child in the princess's womb was innocent, and she couldn't bear to let her have a miscarriage with a bowl of abortion pills. Therefore, not only will she not hurt the child, but she will try to keep the child. If the step-princess really did something hurtful, wait until she gave birth to a child, and let Bei Mingxue deal with her.
"Xi'er, do you think the child is innocent?" Feng Mingye saw through Murong Xi's heart at a glance.
"Well, the child in the womb is naturally innocent, if Beimingxue can't tolerate this child, I believe that the old emperor of Northern Xinjiang will definitely protect this child." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Well, I agree with you. Take this opportunity to see if Bei Mingxue has good thoughts in her heart and whether she is sincere in reforming. Feng Mingye agreed with Murong Xi's idea
"We need to hurry up and solve the problem, we have been in Northern Xinjiang for a long time." Murong Xi missed her little bun a little and wanted to solve the problem here as soon as possible.
So in the next few days, Bailichen still went to the courtyard of Beimingxue every day to pretend, because the spices had been changed, so the complexion of Beimingxue was not bad. Murong Xi was worried that the step-princess would come up with some new tricks, such as putting medicine in the decoction. So, she refined some pills in Luohua Xuan. These pills Bai Lichen left for Bei Yingxue, and after taking the pills, her body had recovered.
And Feng Mingye arranged for the people of the Yama Hall to follow the three princes, and since the three princes wanted to rebel, they would definitely raise private soldiers. The people of the Yama Temple soon found the hiding place of these private soldiers, and they hid in the Zhuangzi outside the city.
After finding the private soldier, he discussed it with Murong Xi, and then went to the palace together.
"What? The third child actually raised a private soldier? Emperor Beijiang said angrily.
"Since he is ambitious, he will naturally raise some soldiers and horses. Moreover, we have already found those private soldiers. What do you want to do? Murong Xi asked.
The Northern Xinjiang Emperor thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does he have?" ”
Feng Mingye's face did not have any superfluous expression, and he said without emotion: "His people are all elites, but the number is not too many, only twenty or thirty thousand horses. ”
"Only twenty or thirty thousand, he wants to rebel? Is he crazy? The Northern Xinjiang Emperor said with some incredulity.
"As I said, those soldiers are elite. Although it doesn't look like there are many people, if you want to compare it with your Royal Forest Army, it is naturally superior. Feng Mingye said.
The number of people was investigated by the people of the Yama Palace, so naturally it would not be bad.
"What about even the elite? Can you defeat the hundreds of thousands of people in our capital? The Northern Xinjiang Emperor said disdainfully.
"Don't underestimate these elites, if the three princes collude with other countries and raise troops to attack the northern frontier at this time, how many soldiers and horses will you leave in the capital? At that time, his twenty or thirty thousand horses will easily enter the capital. Murong Xi said.
"Siege? He really had a good idea and took advantage of the chaos to lead troops into Beijing to seize the throne. I had already ordered several princes to go to their fiefdoms, but when the third and fourth did not move, I knew that he was unwilling to leave like this. But he didn't expect that he would have such an idea. "The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang is not surprised by his third child's thoughts, the third child is indeed a ruthless person. Moreover, for the sake of the throne, it is not impossible for him to collude with other countries. Murong Xi and Feng Mingye have always been neat, and what Murong Xi said just now is likely to be true.
"There is another thing to discuss with you, I told you about the third princess before. Of course, it is inconvenient for us to get involved in the affairs of the Three Kings' Mansion, and we still need the old man to make a decision. After the princess did harm the third princess back then, and now that she is pregnant, she is ready to harm Beiyingxue. Old man, you know my temperament, seeing that Bei Mingxue is for his mother, I don't care. If she can change her ways, I won't care about it. Therefore, following the matter of the princess, let Bei Mingxue call the shots. However, the child is innocent, if Beiying Xue can't tolerate this child, no matter how you say it, it is the blood of the Northern Xinjiang royal family, you are in charge. Murong Xi thought about it for a while, and finally told him that the step-princess wanted to murder Bei Mingxue.
"The step-princess wants to murder Xue'er?" The Northern Xinjiang Emperor frowned slightly and asked.
"Well, because I knew the prescription prescribed by Bai Lichen, and then changed the spices in the North Stygian Snow Room. As a result, Beiyingxue had a high fever and fell unconscious. Murong Xi explained.
