Chapter 48: Poison
With the acquiescence of the queen, Xiao Lu let the inferior palace maid costumes and the waist card out of the palace that Brother Parrot found successfully get them.
Two days later, Mandarin Duck returned to Yuxiu Palace from outside, and entered Xiao Lu's dormitory all the way.
"Celestial Princess, my cousin got what you wanted." The mandarin duck came in and found that only Xiao Lu and Brother Parrot were present in the hall, and when she came in, she hurriedly turned around and closed the door of the hall, and walked quickly to Xiao Lu.
"What is it? Does the potency work? Xiao Lu hurriedly motioned for the mandarin duck to come to him and asked anxiously. Take it out and show me. ”
"Whoa." The mandarin duck took out a small azure porcelain vase from his sleeve, as if holding some rare treasure, and carefully placed it in Xiao Lu's palm. "My cousin said that big families sometimes have dirty things that can't be put on the table, but they often can't deal with them openly because of the situation. You can only lock people up first, pretend to recuperate, and after taking this thing called Sanxisan, only the symptoms of heart disease will appear, and there will be no medical treatment, and it only takes two or three days to work hard and the person will be gone. ”
"Does it really work?" Xiao Lu took the small porcelain vase, shook it gently, and heard the sound of water inside. "How do you use this thing?"
"This thing is colorless and odorless, and when poured out, it looks like water." The mandarin duck glanced at Xiao Lu's expression, swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm and said. "Just pour it into your daily meal, and after you hand three drops at a time and use it twice in a row, you can achieve a lethal effect."
"Okay, I'll take it." Xiao Lu pulled out the dark compartment on the dressing table and put the crucial small porcelain vase into it. "In two days, I will take Brother Parrot out of the palace, and you are responsible for staying behind to deal with the people in Yuxiu Palace for me."
"Celestial Princess." Mandarin Duck looked at Xiao Lu's movements with apprehension, and said hesitantly. "Celestial Princess, have you really thought it through?"
"Mandarin duck, do you think I want to? Although it was my own grandmother, in her heart, my granddaughter with royal blood was far inferior to my cousin, who was born as the eldest son of the concubine. The honorable scenery of the Ding'an Hou Mansion is far more important than my happiness and decency. Xiao Lu looked at the mandarin duck's expression, sighed secretly, closed the door of the secret grid, and said. My grandmother lived a dignified life, no matter her husband, parents, and grandchildren, she was extremely tolerant of her, how much she has enjoyed in this life. She pleaded with my mother to use my marriage to continue to maintain the dignity of her and the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and she never thought about me at all, so I naturally wouldn't hesitate. ”
Early in the morning, Xiao Lu changed into the service of a low-level palace maid, and asked Brother Parrot to break up her hair bun for her, and removed the vermilion hairpin and bead flowers on her sideburns. I re-combed it, grabbed my long hair, inserted a bamboo hairpin in the side of the bun, simply applied some cheap fat powder, dressed up as a palace maid, and followed Brother Parrot out of Yuxiu Palace with my head down.
Brother Parrot took the waist card and went to the palace gate, saying that he had received the order of the eldest princess to go out of the palace to buy, and the low-level palace maid who followed her was her subordinate, and went out to buy together.
learned from the mandarin duck about Xiao Lu's next move, obeyed the queen's orders, and had already cleared the way for them. Brother Parrot took Xiao Lu out of the palace gate smoothly, and soon after the master and servant walked out of the palace gate, Brother Parrot took the silver and hired the most ordinary green cloth carriage in the imperial capital, and helped Xiao Lu into the carriage.
The Qingbu carriage stopped two streets away from the Ding'an Houfu, and the sky was already bright outside, and there were more vendors and passers-by in the market.
It wasn't until almost noon that the prince of Ding'an Hou walked out of the mansion leisurely, and his little servant followed. Brother Parrot kept lifting the corner of the curtain to look at the situation outside, and looked at Xiao Lu, who was sitting quietly and recuperating with his eyes closed.
"Take the waist card of Yuxiu Palace, go outside and stop the Hou Shizi of Ding'an." Xiao Lu opened her eyes just right, and she turned her head slightly to the side and instructed Brother Parrot to speak. "The eldest princess who came out of the palace has something important to discuss with him, so please ask him to wait in the teahouse around the corner."
"Yes, Celestia." Brother Parrot whispered, turned his head and lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Xiao Lu sat in the carriage, sat where Brother Fang Cai was sitting, and lifted the curtain to observe the situation outside.
"Brother Parrot has seen the prince of Ding'an." Brother Parrot got out of the carriage, hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and stopped the Hou Shizi of Ding'an, Deng Hong.
Deng Hong was stopped coldly and looked at Brother Parrot suspiciously.
"The slave maid's name is Brother Parrot, and she is a first-class palace maid in Yuxiu Palace, and she is waiting by the eldest princess's side in Su Rili." Brother Parrot was a little blessed, saluted Deng Hong, and introduced himself. "Given An, Hou Shizi, please be safe."
"Yuxiu Palace?" Deng Hong knew the origin of Yuxiu Palace. "You're someone next to Celestia Celestia, what are you doing coming to me for no reason?"
Brother Parrot looked at Deng Hong, he didn't look good, his eyebrows were bright, he touched the maid who served in his house early in his early teens, and he had been addicted to wine for many years, and he often lingered in the romantic place of sleeping flowers and willows, and he had already been hollowed out, and his eyes were thick and black, and his complexion was very poor.
"Our Royal Highness the eldest princess has something important to discuss with the prince, so she deliberately went out of the palace today in simple clothes, and wanted to meet Her Royal Highness the prince." Brother Parrot said as he pointed to the green cloth carriage parked not far behind him.
"What important matters can Her Royal Highness Princess and I discuss?" Deng Hong said suspiciously.
Deng Hong's doubts are not without reason, in the early years, Mrs. Ding'an Hou still had two sisters-in-law under her knees, and as a concubine, he never even entered the palace gate. It was easy to survive until the two younger brothers died young, and he relied on his biological mother Aunt Zheng to win the favor of his father Ding'anhou, and successfully recorded it in the name of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ding'anhou, and was successfully named the son of Ding'anhou.
But he was already old at this time, and he didn't have much chance of entering the palace.
It can be said that although the eldest princess in the palace is his cousin, the two have never met.
Since they have never met, how can there be anything important worthy of the pampered eldest princess in the deep palace to leave the palace just to see him.
"The old lady in the house has frequently entered the palace to visit the prince's aunt Concubine Chenniang recently, and the reason why the prince doesn't know anything about it?" Parrot said.
"Okay, where do you want to meet Celestia?" Of course, Deng Hong would not know why the old lady of Ding'an Hou frequently entered the palace.
"There is a Fulai teahouse at the corner of the street, please sit in the private room downstairs." Parrot said. "Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia will be here in a moment."
Deng Hong took the little servant to the Fulai Teahouse, and at this time there were no guests in the teahouse, so Xiao Er immediately led them to the private room in the corner of the upstairs and sat down.
"I forgot the folding fan that Su Ri carried, you go back to the house and get it for me." Deng Hong instructed the little servant to say. "After you get it, you don't have to come back here, just go to the Jade Pavilion and wait for me."
"Yes, the minion will go." The little guy also had the eyesight, and knew that Deng Hong had a reason for diverging from him, so he left very interestingly.
After half a cup of tea, Deng Hong, who had been waiting for a little impatient, finally saw Brother Parrot go upstairs, followed by a girl who was dressed as a palace maid and was half a head taller than her.
"Shizi." Brother Parrot led the girl into the private room, and Brother Parrot turned around and closed the door of the private room. "This is Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess."
The girl who had been following Brother Parrot with low eyebrows raised her head suddenly, and Deng Hong only felt that her eyes lit up. The girl in front of her has snowy skin, is very standard, beautiful, and has a slender posture and a natural noble atmosphere.
"I've met Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess." Deng Hong couldn't help but be in a daze when he looked at Xiao Lu's pretty face, and Brother Parrot covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice before he reflected and hurriedly stood up.
"I've seen my cousin." Xiao Lu replied to Deng Hong, and sat down straight with his head held high.
"I don't know why the eldest princess deliberately went out of the palace in a micro-suit?" Deng Hong waited for her to sit down before sitting down again. "I'm just a little learned, and I don't know what I can do to help Princess Celestia."
"I'm not going around in circles with my cousin either." Xiao Lu looked at the blue and black under Deng Hong's eyes, turned his head sideways with disgust, and said. "My grandmother's frequent visits to the palace are just to get a chance for my cousin, and now she has successfully moved my mother."
"What do you mean?"
"Presumably, no matter how shallow my cousin is, he should know that this dynasty has been kind to the princess. The princess's concubine and the princess's husband's family will indeed have a lot of benefits, and the princess's heirs, whether male or female, will have titles, but there are some disadvantages, do cousins know? Xiao Lu raised her eyebrows lightly and said. If the princess has no concubine, the concubine cannot take a concubine without the permission of the princess. Not to mention that the princess of this dynasty is fierce, even if she occasionally beats and scolds the horse, it is fine. ”
"I'm afraid the eldest princess doesn't know, grandmother is here to say the same thing in the Ding'an Hou Mansion." In fact, Deng Hong himself is even more reluctant to be the master. It is true that things are just as the eldest princess said, there are pros and cons, but he has long been used to it, where is he willing to marry a princess who is golden and noble, and he restricts himself and disturbs his own fun. "I also have my own self-knowledge in my heart, and I can't climb up to Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess."
"Since my cousin doesn't want this marriage contract to be concluded, I have a plan in mind now, I wonder if my cousin wants to hear it?"
"Listen to the teachings of Princess Celestia."
"It's easy." Xiao Lu smiled, took a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and put it on the table, and nudged it in front of Deng Hong. "Just ask my grandmother to die."
"What!?" Deng Hong looked at the small porcelain bottle that was pushed to him by Xiao Lu and asked in surprise. "Celestial Princess, this is going to kill Grandmother."
"This thing is called Sanxisan, and after two days of continuous use, people will have symptoms of incurable heart disease, and there is no medicine at that time." Xiao Lu said with a smile. "My grandmother is very old, and no one will say anything even if she dies of a sudden illness. Besides, my grandmother is in charge of the house, and she is used to saying that if she lives a long life, I am afraid that your uncle and cousin will not have a good time. ”
