Chapter 251: Dedication
Yan Ran was about to take the sachet, but she didn't expect Su Yu to suddenly increase her strength and hold the sachet in her hand.
Yan Ran thought that Su Yu was teasing her, and her already cold expression became dark: "Su Yu, don't go too far!" ”
Su Yu stared at Yan Ran tightly, the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated, and he lowered his voice and said, "Yan Ran, do you know what you are doing?" ”
Yan Ran looked at Su Yu inexplicably, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only said, "Give me back the sachet!" ”
Su Yu saw that Yan Ran was anxious to return the sachet, thinking that she was annoyed and angry because she had seen through the trick, and her heart was even more irritable: "Yan Ran! You're doing this to help him, aren't you? You didn't even want your life for him, and you dared to do such a rebellious thing?! ”
If Yan Ran's things were touched by Su Yu as usual, she would throw them away directly, so she wouldn't ask for them back.
But she can't do without this sachet.
Yan Ran was very impatient, and shouted in a rough voice: "Give me back the sachet quickly!" This is the queen's reward for me, if it is broken, I will let the queen mother cure your sin! ”
"You ......"
Su Yu was about to say something more, but suddenly heard Yan Ran's words, and his expression was slightly excited: "What are you talking about, this sachet was given to you by the queen's mother?" ”
Yan Ran looked at Su Yu angrily, pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.
Didn't she already say it very clearly, is this Su Yu deaf or what, do you have to repeat it?
Su Yu saw that Yan Ran's expression didn't seem to be fake, she shouldn't have known that there was something wrong with this sachet.
Yes, this sachet is not ordinary, it contains a strong medicinal herb that will aggravate Emperor Sheng's condition.
However, because of the mixture of spices, the aroma is rich, and the smell of the herbs is extremely light, if you don't have the intention to explore, you can't distinguish it at all.
Su Yu thought that Yan Ran didn't know, in addition to the above reasons, there was also the fact that this sachet was rewarded by the queen.
Yan Ran would not suspect the queen at all, and naturally she would not pay special attention to whether there was anything wrong with this little sachet.
However, since the sachet came from the queen's hand, could it be that the person who wanted to put Emperor Sheng to death was the queen?
Or, someone else who wanted to use the empress's hand to murder Emperor Sheng.
After all, in addition to the imperial doctor, the empress is also a person who can often come into contact with Emperor Sheng.
Su Yu had already classified Yan Ran into the ranks of the backstabbers, so he only considered the source of the sachet.
But he was never sure whether the queen was being used or the real mastermind.
Taking advantage of Su Yu's contemplation, Yan Ran unexpectedly snatched back the sachet and tied it back to his waist.
"Yan Ran!"
Yan Ran was about to leave, but Su Yu stopped her, and hurriedly chased after her, blocking her way: "You ......"
Su Yu only said this one word, and then there was no more follow-up.
Yan Ran patiently asked, "What, what else does Su Yicheng have to advise?" ”
Su Yu moved his lips, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
He wanted to remind Yan Ran that this sachet was poisonous and would affect Emperor Sheng's condition.
If she wears it all the time, she may become a scapegoat for others and invite death.
But he didn't dare to say that he had a different position from Yan Ran, if he reminded the other party that he was startling the snake, wouldn't he be digging a hole for himself?
Su Yu hesitated and didn't speak.
Yan Ran stopped paying attention to him, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Su Yu looked at Yan Ran's back, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, as if something had been completely thrown away.
Yan Ran strode forward, passing a rockery, and suddenly an arm stretched out from inside and dragged her in.
Yan Ran didn't panic at all, and crashed directly into the other party's arms, and a little starlight flashed in her originally cold eyes: "Cousin! ”
The little girl's eyes were shining, clean and clear, and there was only his reflection in them.
This made Wen Rong'an feel very good, and stretched out his big hand to rub his little hairy head.
Yan Ran was also very happy, and begged for praise: "Cousin, how are my acting skills?" Su Yu didn't even see that I was in disguise! ”
It's good that Yan Ran didn't mention this stubble, as soon as she talked about it, Wen Rongan's face instantly became cold and hard, and she said with a straight face: "Just let him find the sachet, and let him pick it up if it falls on the ground?" ”
What do you have to do to entangle with him, and I was almost taken advantage of by him!
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an's unkind face and quipped, "Cousin, are you jealous?" ”
Wen Rongan snorted lightly and ignored Yan Ran.
Yan Ran had no choice but to explain: "If it falls on the ground, he may remind me, but he may not help me pick it up!" We only have one chance, and we can only succeed and not fail, so make sure he has access to the sachet! ”
Wen Rong'an's expression softened slightly, but he was sharpening his knife in his heart, thinking about which of Su Yu's claws to chop off.
Yan Ran smoothed Wen Rong'an's hair, and said confidently: "This medicine is strong enough, I believe Xiao Zun will make a move soon." ”
Wen Rong responded absently, a little depressed.
Hey, my cousin's dedication is stronger than him, can I still be happily in love?
Soon, Su Yu returned the results of the investigation to Xiao Zun: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have learned from the investigation that the sachet was made by the crown princess herself and presented to the queen. From this, it can be determined that the crown prince murdered the saint through the hands of the queen, and the queen transferred the sachet to Yan Ran. It's just that I don't know if the queen's move was intentional or unintentional. ”
Xiao Zun sneered: "What about intentionality, but what about unintentionality?" ”
Although Xiao Zun has the intention to win over the queen, he does not have any mother-son affection for the queen.
The queen has no children, and she doesn't have too deep affection for Emperor Sheng's children.
She usually seems to be impartial, but in the end, the prince is remembered in her name and sits firmly in the position of the prince, and her heart is still biased towards the prince.
Xiao Zun said with satisfaction: "Xiao Yu, this idiot, actually gave us such a big handle, but the king of the province did it." You go and contact the courtiers who support the king and those who are still waiting to hear from you, and inform them of this. ”
Su Yu asked, "Do you want to hide the queen?" ”
Xiao Zun said: "No need. ”
Su Yu hesitated: "But if the queen didn't know, wouldn't we push her to the prince's side?" ”
Xiao Zun smiled and said, "Then what do you think should be?" Go and ask the queen if she knows before making a decision? ”
Of course, Su Yu knew that when friends and foes were unknown, they couldn't easily show their hole cards.
Because once the queen is on the side of the prince, instead of pulling down the prince, they may set themselves on fire.
Xiao Zun waved his hand: "Go." ”
Su Yu didn't say anything more and was ordered to leave.
Xiao Zun looked at the jumping candle flames, and there was an extremely crazy look in his eyes: "Xiao Yu, the queen, Wen Rong'an, Yan Ran, you are looking for death by yourself!" ”
There was an undercurrent surging in the court, but on the surface it was still peaceful.
The ladies of the back house should hold a flower-viewing banquet when they should hold a flower-viewing banquet, and they should hold a poetry meeting when they should hold a poetry meeting, which is not affected at all.
Mrs. Yan had nothing to do, and began to think about renewing Mr. Yan's strings again.
Yan Ran was urged back to Yan's mansion by Mrs. Yan's several letters in succession, thinking that something had happened in the mansion.
Unknowingly, Mrs. Yan said: "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, you go with me and show your father a daughter-in-law." ”
Yan Ran: "......"
Let the girl find a daughter-in-law for her father, and Mrs. Yan can say it, right?
In the past, Yan Ran was busy with the official affairs of the Imperial Medical Department, no matter which lady or girl held a banquet, she could push it as much as she could.
However, this Xuanping Marquis Mansion is different.
The old lady of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion Chen is the mother of Song Xinhong, that is, the mother-in-law of the county lord of Min'an.
The old marquis died of illness as early as a year ago, and Song Xinhong inherited the title naturally, so this Chen became an old lady at a young age.
Originally, now that the court was in a sensitive period, Song Xinhong didn't want to hold a banquet.
But Chen refused, as a concubine in the first half of her life, she was suppressed by her mother-in-law and tortured by her mother-in-law, and now she finally raised her eyebrows, but she didn't want to let go of this opportunity to be in the limelight.
After all, looking at it, there are few people in Anyang who have become knights at such an age as Song Xinhong, and there is also a county lord's daughter-in-law, the Chen family is very proud, so they naturally want to show off.
Song Xinhong had no choice but to follow her wishes and hold a birthday banquet for her.
Although Yan Ran was not interested in finding a daughter-in-law for Master Yan, she did not refuse Mrs. Yan.
One is that she is good friends with the county lord of Min'an, and she should attend to congratulate; Second, there is no housewife in Yan's mansion now, and the communication between the ladies can only be made by Mrs. Yan.
Old Mrs. Ke Yan was born in a peasant family, and she couldn't cope with this kind of occasion, and it was all set by the Wen family before, and she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart at first glance when she thought of facing so many high-ranking officials and ladies.
Therefore, if an invitation is sent to Yan's house, she generally refuses on the grounds that she is too old to walk.
But this time, she wanted to show her son and daughter-in-law, so she had to bite the bullet, so she pulled Yan Ran to strengthen her courage.
The next day, Master Yan was stumped by official duties and failed to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to celebrate his birthday.
Yan Ran took Mrs. Yan to the Hou Mansion and gave a congratulatory gift, and then the two were taken to the seat of the female dependent.
Old Madam Yan's eyes roamed back and forth, looking at the other women with scrutiny, commenting.
"This is good, if you wear gold and silver, your family must be very rich."
"That's not bad, fart, it's good to have a good life."
……
Yan Ran was speechless, poured a cup of tea and pushed it over: "Grandmother, drink some tea to moisten your throat." ”
Old Madam Yan sipped tea and stopped talking for a while, and Yan Ran's ears were rarely clean.
However, Old Madam Yan remained silent, and Yan Ran became strange again and turned her head to look over.
I saw that Old Madam Yan's eyes were a little dull, and her movements were also very slow.
Yan Ran said worriedly: "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she also sensed that something was wrong, her tongue was stiff, and she couldn't even pronounce words clearly.
The alarm bell sounded in her heart, but she heard a fluttering sound one after another.
I saw that the ladies and girls fell on the table one after another, and the maids who were standing behind them also fell to the ground, but their eyes were still open, and their eyes were full of horror.
Yan Ran suddenly remembered that it was colorless and tasteless, which could paralyze people's whole body, wasn't it the poison that Su Yu had given them when they returned to Anyang?
Yan Ran was secretly annoyed, she didn't expect Xiao Zun to suddenly attack the woman in the back house!
She immediately went to get the purse, which contained the antidote, but she was too slow and was kicked to the ground.
Yan Ran was lying on the ground, her whole body stiff, and only her eyes could move.
She raised her eyes and looked over, and met a cold gaze, it was Cui Jingyi.
