Chapter 64 The Storm Rises
The southern country has entered autumn, and the golden wind carries a hint of coolness, blowing the faint sweetness of osmanthus to the streets and alleys of Chaoge City, and finally drives away the remaining summer feelings.
Scarlet smoke dressed in men's clothes walked slowly in the streets and alleys. Nearly ten days have passed since Linglong entered the palace, and what has happened in these ten days can be described as dizzying.
On the night of Linglong and Wei Xian's wedding, news came from the harem that Concubine De was suspected of having a miscarriage. However, due to the fact that in the prince's east palace, the lights were full of lights, and the prince, who was busy with entertainment, walked through the staggered planning and planning, so he ignored the little eunuch who came to report.
Although the maid beside Concubine De went to ask for a doctor from the hospital in time, because there was no prince's message, the process was delayed for some time, so on the second day, Concubine De's miscarriage had already been confirmed, and the incident exploded in the sky over the south like thunder.
For a while, the aftermath of the meal of the people of the southern country was not separated from Concubine De's miscarriage. Some good people said that this matter must have been deliberately done by the prince, once the little prince died, the emperor's illness could not be cured, and the dragon chair became his Wei Xian's bag.
Or why did Concubine Yande suddenly have a miscarriage when she was in the palace? is more of a sigh, the mother in the palace is expensive by her son, and Concubine De, who has always had no heirs, finally conceived a child, but happened to meet the emperor's illness, and now it is a miscarriage. She is just a weak woman, how can she withstand such a blow?
Perhaps it was really unbearable, Concubine De asked the prince to leave the palace several times, Wei Xian disagreed, but he didn't want this matter to be known to everyone overnight, probably out of sympathy, several major families jointly wrote to the prince to ask Concubine De to leave the palace.
Wei Xian was forced to be helpless, and finally agreed to let Concubine De take care of herself in the palace before leaving the palace, and the matter came to an end.
However, a wave of calm and wave after wave, for some reason, a little-known concubine in the harem suddenly rumored to be pregnant. However, the emperor is seriously ill and has no chance to favor the concubine, so where does this pregnancy come from?
Not long after the prince accepted the concubine, he thought that this matter would never be on his head, but he didn't want the concubine to take out a jade pendant from her bosom and insist that the child in her womb was the prince's.
This shocked everyone, and gossip spread all over the place, accusing the prince of violating morality, feeling sorry for the concubine who had just started, and gloating, referring to Sang scolding Huai...... The voice of the people reached Wei Xian's office, and he almost smashed an inkstone.
However, some people have no vision to see, and anonymously write a book, impeaching the prince for mutilating his own brother, and fornicating with the harem concubines, and promising ethics and morality. The twist and turn passed into Wei Xian's hands, which made Wei Xian even more furious, and immediately ordered a strict investigation of the matter.
There was chaos in the court, and the prince's east palace was not necessarily very stable. Not long after Linglong entered the palace, because of the favor of the prince, she became a thorn in the side of the wives and concubines of the East Palace.
Just when Wei Xian had a headache because of the folk rumors, he didn't want to receive a message from his subordinates, saying that Linglong had stolen the money in the house and secretly sent it out of the palace, and even found the clothes of a strange man in Linglong's house.
Wei Xian knew very well about Scarlet Moon's methods, and this kind of false accusation that people could see through at a glance, except for accusing herself of being indifferent to her these days, Wei Xian couldn't think of any other intentions for her.
So, Wei Xian returned to the palace, first dismissed everyone, reprimanded Linglong for being pampered and arrogant, and asked her to copy the "Female Ring" again. Then for three days, he spent the night in the house of the Scarlet Moon, and took the opportunity to mortgage the previous things.
Originally, Wei Xian wanted to wait for the turmoil to calm down before explaining to Linglong, but he didn't want another battle report from the northern border, so he delayed the matter, and this delay caused another incident.
Yesterday night, Scarlet Yan received a letter from Yu Chimu, and a batch of medicinal materials that the prince was anxious to dispose of flowed to the commercial market through Xie Zongquan's hands, and he had already intercepted them all and sent them to Shantang.
This time, she was going to Shantang to deal with that batch of medicinal materials, if she really let her find any clues from the medicinal materials, then what was waiting for Wei Xian would be endless verbal criticism.
Before walking to the good hall, Scarlet Smoke paused at her feet, and saw a familiar figure, and when she approached, the person who came was Wu Yixin, who had not been seen for many days.
Scarlet Smoke saw him, and Wu Coixin also discovered Scarlet Smoke who had just started. Before she could speak, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Scarlet ...... Fei Gongzi, can you let me meet her? ”
Hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to make a silent movement. He glanced at him with a sharp look in his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”
Wu Yanxin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that the people around him were looking at him with a curious gaze, he knew that he had said the wrong thing in excitement, so he had to lower his head and follow Scarlet Smoke into the back room quickly.
Since a few days ago, after Concubine De's body recovered a little, she left the palace and dumped the people who were secretly following her, and no one knew her traces. Wu Yixin sent people to search for a long time but to no avail, and then found Scarlet Smoke.
After entering the back room, Scarlet Smoke was not in a hurry to answer his previous question, but warmed a pot of tea, and when the fragrance of tea rose and the fragrance was overflowing, she met the man's gaze and said softly, "How did you find here?" ”
Wu Yanxin glanced at the scarlet smoke sitting opposite him with a complicated expression, and did not intend to hide it from her, "In the past few days, I have been to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for you, but I can't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion without paying a visit." I happened to meet you at the side gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went out in disguise, so I followed you here. ”
Scarlet Smoke laughed when she heard this, and asked, "Then how do you know that you can find her from me?" ”
"It's just a gut feeling." Wu Yanxin closed his eyes and said slowly, "I just think that since you persuaded your sister to leave the palace, you will not abandon her mother and son." ”
Slender eyebrows raised slightly, Crimson chuckled, "You're an understanding person." However, at this time, I can't let you go to see her, I can only tell you that their mother and son are safe. ”
Hearing this, Wu Yanxin's eyes widened, staring at the scarlet smoke for a long time, his stiff body gradually softened, and a trace of happiness and relief flashed on the man's face, and he muttered, "That's good, that's good......"
Accustomed to seeing the coldness of people's hearts, Scarlet looked at the man in front of her, and a little strange feeling welled up in her heart, I don't know if it was an illusion, she actually noticed a little tenderness in Wu Yanxin's eyes.
"Scarlet girl, can I ask you for one thing?" The room was quiet for a long time, and Wu said in a daze, "Can you let me go to her?" Even if Wu Yixin disappears from now on. ”
Scarlet Smoke didn't expect him to say this, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes, "Reason, and what can I get by doing this." ”
The man thought for a while, and raised his eyes to Shang Scarlet Smoke's inquiring gaze, "Since I can remember, I have made up my mind to take care of her, she used to be a concubine in a high position in the harem, and I can't do anything, but now, she is alone, I can't let her live such a hard life with her children alone."
"As for what you can get...... Wu Yixin paused for a moment, and then continued, "I'm just a concubine of the Wu family, I don't have any connections, and I don't have much money, but I can help you introduce someone, maybe he can help you in some things." ”
Hearing this, Scarlet Smoke lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked softly, "Who?" ”
Wu Yixin glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Tai Hospital, Mr. Yan." ”
"But Mr. Yan Cheng, who has always been low-key in the Tai Hospital, but has made great achievements in medical skills?" Scarlet was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly.
"Exactly." Wu Yixin nodded.
Scarlet Yan glanced at him incredulously, "How did you meet Mr. Yan?" ”
Thinking that the woman didn't believe him, Wu Yixin's eyes dimmed slightly, "It's just that I was lucky, I rescued the old gentleman's bad wife from the hands of the robbers, and I got acquainted with him." ”
"Oh?" Scarlet Smoke fixed the man, and he already had a measure in his heart, "This way, and I'm going to trouble you." ”
Seeing the scarlet promise, Wu Yanxin's face did not have any joy, and said lightly, "I can only introduce you to the old gentleman, provided that you let me meet her first." ”
Scarlet Smoke raised her eyebrows noncommittally, "That's natural, when you come back to me in seven days, I'll take you to see her." ”
Hearing this, Wu Yixin got up and saluted Scarlet Smoke, "Thank you, girl." ”
"Don't thank me, I just agreed to help you for the sake of your acquaintance with Mr. Yan." Scarlet Smoke waved his hand, and it didn't matter, "If there is nothing else, please go back, I still have medicinal materials to deal with later." ”
Wu Yanxin's eyes condensed slightly, staring at the woman for a long time, and when a little dissatisfaction gradually rose in Scarlet Yan's heart, he said slowly, "But the batch of medicinal materials that Wei Xian was in a hurry to dispose of?" ”
Scarlet smoke was silent. It's just that there is a little more fierce look in the eyes of the man.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have the power to investigate you." I hurriedly explained, "I heard about this batch of medicinal materials from others not long ago, so I would like to remind you. This batch of medicinal herbs seems to have been tricked by someone, and you must not touch it directly. ”
Scarlet Smoke raised her eyebrows at him, and said softly for a long time, "Thank you." ”
The man waved his hand disapplausively, "No thanks, then the two of us can be considered even." Although I don't know what Gu was put in that medicinal herb, I can infer that this Gu must be inextricably linked to the emperor's condition. Wu Yixin said, "Be careful yourself." ”
Is he actually caring about himself? Scarlet Smoke smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry." ”
Sending Wu Coixin away, Scarlet Yan came to the warehouse, looking at the medicinal materials piled up in a corner and frowning slightly, although she heard Wu Coixin say that this batch of medicinal materials was poisoned, but there was no basis for what she said, she had to find some evidence from it.
However, on the other side, Wei Xian's expression was gloomy, looking at the guards who came to report on the ground, his dark eyes were full of tyranny,
"Tell me again, where did that batch of medicinal herbs go? Intercepted by whom? ”
