Shen Feiming smiled, "I originally thought she was unreasonable, until I remembered that I listened to the chat between the two cooks in the kitchen two days ago, and they said that there have been a lot of strange witchcraft remedies that have worked wonders recently, and what makes a wish under the fireworks, the closer you get to the fireworks, the more effective; When there is no one, hang the sachet and go to the old tree in front of Fuyuan Temple to touch the trunk and walk three times, and then the wish to worship can be realized; What earthworms can be used as the old red rope of the moon, gather the earthworms and soak them in chicken blood or duck blood, and make a wish with this symbol in the depths of the forest, which will soon come true; On the night of the full moon, recite the name of the person you like by the pond full of spiritual energy, visit the moon every ten steps, Chang'e will help you relieve the pain of lovesickness, and it is best to bring the things that the person you like value, it will be more effective. I think Lord Qi must have heard about it. Shen Feiming shook a wet book again, "Yue Ran Anthology", everyone was shocked, only the county lord of Naqi stared at the ground and refused to look up.

"Isn't this a rumor from the people?"

"Yes, but someone will believe it and try it. Even if the Lord of Qi escaped once or twice, she believed in such witchcraft and would continue to do it, and she would die here. ”

"Even I didn't know that Lord Qi would believe in this kind of witchcraft, so how did the person who designed it know that Lord Qi believed in this kind of thing?" Feng Xinyue's little brain suddenly opened.

Because she knows the county lord very well, in fact, the county lord cherishes the tips from Fang Shi so much, and the county lord Qi believes in such things very much. Then she was able to easily communicate with the county lord how to operate these witchcrafts, and she could also spread this witchcraft remedies to the ears of other subordinates, and then tell the county lord that she had also heard about it. Everyone looked at the green smoke.

"Cuiyan?" Lord Qi was a little incredulous. Cui Yan shook her head, "Give me ten guts, I won't dare to harm the county lord, Miss Shen is saying something that has no basis." ”

"Two days ago, I heard the cook say those things, and I began to suspect you, so I asked my almond to investigate, and the proprietress of the candle aromatherapy shop you always go to is very impressed with you, and every time I buy a candle, I also buy some spices and white phosphorus, and every time I only need a little bit."

"Mademoiselle grew up with me, why should I harm her?"

"The white phosphorus you prepared from the marriage of the county lord of Qi and the fourth prince, I'm not wrong. You are a native of Wanru Country, you grew up with Lord Qi since you were a child, and you received a secret order from Wanru Country to kill her before she gave birth to a child, no matter what, you must not let the future of your country be in the hands of others. And you want to murder the county lord and get out of the way, but fortunately, there is still a lot of time, you can let the county lord keep trying more so-called witchcraft, and she will always die in one attempt. ”

Cui Yan was silent. The sad melancholy temperament on Lord Qi's body was even deeper.

"Who did the poisoning on the dinner table of the county lord of Naqi?"

"Herself. On the day she was burned, she carried her back, and she thought that maybe witchcraft had an effect, so she wanted to postpone the marriage, probably inspired by Liang Youban, she also used a thin dough wrapped in poison powder, and when she drank alcohol, she bit the dough and poisoned her hair on the spot. ”

Wu Yueran looked at the side face of Lord Qi at this time, his face was full of sadness.

The fourth prince did not have any expression, nor did he move, he was like a long stone sculpture, and the shadow of the flame kept jumping at his eyelids.

"Deal with the green smoke, I'm a little tired, let's go rest first." The stone sculpture of the Four Princes came to life, turned around and left the small pavilion.

Su Xian looked at the full moon and felt a little sad, the playmate who grew up together was obviously smiling without trouble when he was young, the woman who had been raised as a hostage in the deep palace since she was a child and had no relatives can only turn to the gods and witchcraft now, she stood by the fire in a daze, looking so alienated and lonely, love is unattainable, and the only person who can share her heart only wants to put her to death. Su Xian didn't even remember when he walked out of the pavilion and returned to the tent. Gu Peiqing was still lying honestly, he felt that Su Xian was lying on the bed like a walking corpse, but he didn't say anything.

"Su Xian, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm a little tired."

"It's... Is the matter of the county lord settled? ”

"Yes. Pei Qing, I slept. ”

Su Xian didn't blow out the candle, he buried his head in the quilt, but he couldn't sleep, could it be that his father's words were repeated inside: "If you don't have power, you will only live a lonely life, not only you, but the person you love will also walk on that rugged road for the rest of your life." ”

An ordinary carriage stopped in front of Wanfeng Courtyard, and the four princes got down from the carriage with a relaxed expression and a slight smile. The janitor immediately saluted and pulled the door open.

"Mr. Yuanlin is available today?"

"Mr. today has not been out."

The Fourth Prince nodded, walked around the pavilions, and stopped at the door of the study.

"Mr. Yuanlin, Xuanfu came to visit Mr. today."

"Come in." The woman's voice was very gentle and soft.

The fourth prince pushed open the door and smelled the familiar rich incense, which was the incense that Mr. Yuanlin had configured himself.

Mr. Yuanlin wore a gold silk peony wide-sleeved long skirt, looking extravagant, sitting at the desk with a book, she looked more than thirty years old, graceful, and indescribably charming and charming with a smile.

"The four princes are so happy, but what is the happy thing?"

"Sure enough, as Mr. deduced, Lord Qi's poisoning in Yunxiang Mansion was her own doing. Can we make a big fuss about this and invalidate the emperor's marriage. ”

"Fourth prince, in fact, there is good news I haven't had time to inform you yet, my spy in Wanru Country came to report, I originally thought that there was no successor to the throne, but in fact, the emperor of Wanru Country and the eldest brother of the Lord of Qi County are addicted to fireworks and willows, and there are already three princes, so the role of the Lord of Qi County has been greatly weakened. As long as the royal family doesn't value her, it doesn't matter who she marries. Originally, we thought that although it was the worst choice for you to marry the county lord of Qi, it was also a show of weakness, so that the eldest prince would have more thoughts to deal with the second prince, but now things have taken a turn for the better. ”

"The county lord of Naqi likes Wu Yueran, can we take advantage of this." The fourth prince respectfully made a cup of tea for Mr. Yuanlin.

She thought for a moment and showed a confident smile: "If we can pull Wu Yueran and Lord Qi into our camp, it will naturally strengthen the strength of the four princes." Wu Yueran writes a good article, although he is young, he has a high prestige among scholars, and now his official position is not high enough, if he succeeds, we will get more benefits with his promotion. ”

"But I don't know if Wu Yueran has any intention of Lord Qi? If we mess with this mandarin duck score, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"At this time, I already have a plan, Wu Yueran has already expressed his lofty ambitions, hoping that he can go far in his career and seek more happiness for the people of Cangtian. We just need to make him understand that marrying Lord Qi is his last choice. ”

"Sir, you have a plan?"

"Of course, I will contact your mother, Concubine Yue, and then you just need to wait for Wu Yueran to come to you for help."

The four princes out of the Wanfeng Courtyard, feel refreshed, no one would have thought that his adviser was actually a woman, Mr. Yuanlin and her mother are close friends, in the increasingly-for-tat competition, the mother concubine remembered this thoughtful old friend, wrote to her to help, this old friend rushed from his hometown without saying a word, lived in this Wanfeng Courtyard for the four princes to give advice, after her five years of strategic layout, at this time the four princes have a number of families behind each other, faintly have the potential to become the prince.
