Chapter 209: Who Will Test the Medicine?
Concubine Yuan picked up the letter, and immediately saw an Ascending Immortal Pill placed under the letter, her hand trembled slightly, because this Ascending Immortal Pill was a deep orange red, which was the appearance of a ripe Ascending Immortal Pill, that is to say, the people of Ximen had already cracked the Ascending Immortal Pill, as long as they got the raw pill, they could be refined!
Ling Shangyu also sensed that something was wrong, and she picked up the Ascending Immortal Pill and inspected it repeatedly.
"This, could it be that the Red Envoy did it, she secretly colluded with Simon's people to crack the Immortal Ascension Pill together?"
Concubine Yuan took out a knife and quickly cut open the Ascending Immortal Pill, only to see that the pill was uniform in color and tight in texture, and she couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows.
Ling Shang's face was a little surprised.
"Palace Master, what is written in her letter?"
Only then did Concubine Yuan think that this letter was the key, she opened the letterhead, read it at a glance, and tore the letter apart like crazy in anger.
"Yes, was it written by the Red Envoy?"
"It must be, it must be her, it's not her, who else is she, she colluded with Ximen's gang to betray the Qihua Palace, let Xiaobai be caught, and sabotage our plan!"
Concubine Yuan was almost hysterical.
"She, what did she write in the letter?"
"She gave me a Ascending Immortal Pill she refined, asked me to try it, and told her the result!"
When she said this, Concubine Yuan's eyes glared at Ling Shangyu.
Ling Shangyu shuddered, what is the effect of the Ascending Immortal Pill, she has a personal experience, if this refining fails, it will be painful to take it, and the palace master wants to test the medicine by himself, does she agree?
"Why didn't she try it herself, and why did we tell her the results?"
Concubine Yuan gritted her teeth.
"She said that she will continue refining until she finally succeeds, if we want to get the Immortal Ascension Pill, we must cooperate with her, otherwise we don't want to get a pill!"
"Then, what should I do, this medicine, should we really help her try it?"
"We can only help her try, if it is successful, she can consider giving us this Immortal Ascension Pill!"
Concubine Yuan gritted her teeth when she said this.
"Then, then, who will test the medicine?"
Concubine Yuan stared at Ling Shangyu, who was terrified, and her tongue was already stammering.
"Does the palace and the palace master want their subordinates to test the medicine?"
Concubine Yuan's gaze dimmed, and she shook her head.
"A few of you, now there are only a few hole cards in the palace, no one can die, but now it is difficult to find someone in the palace, the queen is too closely monitored, and if you want to find someone who will not be in trouble if she dies, who is suitable?"
Ling Shangyu thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in front of him.
"Yes, there is one person who is the most suitable, but I don't know if she is dead now!"
"Who?"
"It's the woman from the Kunxi Temple!"
"You said Concubine Duan?"
Ling Shangyu nodded.
"Red rebelled and met with Concubine Duan before leaving, we don't know what conditions they discussed, but it is a fact that Concubine Duan is about to starve to death, and this medicine is the most suitable for her to try!"
"Is it too late to take it now?"
"Just in time, that day the red rebel brought some food over, she shouldn't have died on the fourth day!"
"That's a great idea, you can do it right away!"
"Yes, Lord Palace!"
Seeing Ling Shangyu holding the Ascending Immortal Pill and about to climb up to the shrine, Concubine Yuan shouted: "Wait, you bring two days of food over, Concubine Duan let her linger for a few more days, as long as this woman is alive, the queen will definitely be more distracted!" β
It was getting dark, and dusk was approaching.
Frost Leaf Pavilion, Yiyue Building.
In the attic study, a young girl is sitting against the window.
This girl is Yue'er, she has a red scarf on her head with a hairpin today, and a big hairpin on her body, and there is a little more heroic air between her eyebrows, but at this moment her eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and she looks a little worried. She believed that Concubine Yuan would definitely give the Immortal Ascension Pill she sent to Concubine Baili for use.
This pill Zou Xiaoyuan has done experiments and confirmed that it is useful, the real purpose of Yue'er's medicine is to extend the life of Concubine Baili, but what worries her is that if Concubine Yuan and they find out that Concubine Baili has been transferred, they can guess that the person who appeared in command of Ximen is herself, how will she deal with it then?
In the past two days, Yue'er did not sleep in the Frost Leaf Pavilion, but slept in the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin gave Yue'er the boudoir before Lin Zhaoyi's marriage, this is an independent courtyard, and it is also very convenient for Yue'er to live here to take care of Murong Qi'er, Mrs. Lin immediately gave Lin Zhaoyi's previous boudoir building to Yue'er, and arranged two girls for her.
Now that it was dark, Yue'er was thinking about whether to go back to the Lin Mansion, there was a knock on the door, and the eighth master's voice said outside: "Master Yue, my subordinates have something to report." β
"Come in!"
Yue'er said, putting a layer of tulle on her face, she didn't want to get too close to the eighth master, after all, she was a girl, so she still had to remain reserved.
"Yesβ"
The door creaked open, and the eighth master walked in with Hu San and another hall master, and the three of them saluted Yue'er.
Yue'er just nodded.
"Have you done everything I told you to do?"
The eighth master approached Yue'er and whispered: "Master Yue, the waste well in the backyard has been dug through, and the brother who dug the well found a gap below, some people suspect that it may be a passage, please decide the door master!" β
Yue'er nodded.
"Tell them to come out, how can there be a passage in the waste well, there must be a collapse, tell everyone to be careful!"
"Yes, thank you Master Yue, my subordinates know."
The eighth master said and took out a letter and presented it with both hands.
"Our invitations went out, and someone sent us a strange letter!"
Yue'er took it, opened it and read it, the handwriting of the letter was crooked, and the tone of the writing was very unkind, as if she had a grudge against Yue'er, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Who sent this letter, that we Simon's men should gather tomorrow to obey the command, will he come to be a guest or to be the master of the door?"
The eighth master shook his head.
"The person who delivered the letter was dressed in the service of a public servant, and he could be a member of the government or a subordinate of a royal palace."
"Impossible, during the Queen Mother's funeral, the people of the government did not dare to participate in a banquet like ours!"
"Who could that be?"
The eighth master said: "My subordinates heard that Dai Ye also received the same letter, but I am not sure. β
"Oh, you're saying that this person made an appointment with Dai Ye and me at the same time?"
"Yes, he may have made an appointment with three bosses at the same time, I don't know if Bai Ye came out."
Yue'er thought about it and felt that it couldn't be Qihua Palace, if Concubine Yuan wanted to negotiate with herself, she wouldn't make an appointment with Dai Ye at the same time, since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't bother to think about it.
Hu San took a step forward and said, "Bai Ye came out, it was just released this morning!" β
Yue'er was not surprised and nodded.
"What about releasing it?"
The eighth master said: "When he is released, there are two ways to go, either to admit it or to find a field!" β
Yue'er smiled coldly.
"You say, is Bai Ye here to find a place this time, or is he here to admit it?"
"Hmph, it's hard to say, this time he planted so badly, he may neither admit it nor dare to find a field, but pretend to be a grandson!"
Hu San hurriedly said: "No, he will charter the boat garden tomorrow and send you a post to Yue Ye!" As he spoke, he took out an invitation and handed it over.
The eighth master reached out and took it, and after taking a look, he tore it to pieces with a few clicks.
"Eighth master, you, what are you doing here?"
Yue'er was a little strange.
"This old thief is actually pretending to be confused, tomorrow is the seventh day of the new year, according to the convention, our three major gangs in Windy City will hold banquets and send invitations to each other, but this is just a gesture, everyone will never participate, if you go, it will be strange if you are not hacked to death by them!"
Hu San was a little indignant.
"I see, I thought this old thief had confessed!"
"Yes, this guy didn't plan to send us an invitation this year, but he already sent it to Dai Sanye!"
Yue'er pouted.
"I knew that I would tell Master Lin to lock him up until the eighth day of the new year and then come out, and what should I do to see his banquet, by the way, did we send an invitation?"
"I sent it, but I didn't send it to Bai Ye, because I didn't know when he would come out when I posted it."
"What about Third Master Dai?"
"I sent it on the fifth day of the new year."
"Okay, since it's a convention, the invitation still has to be sent, Hu San, you go get an invitation and send it to Bai Ye!"
"Yes, Master Yue!"
Hu San is now often sent by Yue'er, and he feels that he has a special face.
