"No, I can't. Wuzong Lou is different from Chang'an Palace, it is the guard division of the Eight Classics, not only the inner guards, but also the red shadow guards. Besides, it is also a royal land, how can it be a place where you can come and go freely? Ruxu vetoed the proposal.

"And what do you have to do?" Jinse asked.

"The poisonous pastries sent that day clearly meant the concubine, and I guessed that the lop ear was to protect the concubine and Yulu, so he carried all the charges off." Ruxu bit her lip.

"Poisoned pastry sent?" Zhou Ziheng felt strange when he heard it.

"That poisonous pastry is not to poison Qianyun Xiaowang at all, but to use his hand to poison my peach blossoms." Ruxu explained, "I guess the emperor can also think of it, so he didn't go deep into the picket, but just wanted to find a scapegoat to keep the concubine." ”

"It looks like we're going to get paid." Ruxu muttered.

"You're trying to ......," Jinse knew what she was thinking.

"We have to be fast, and we must not allow anyone to be harmed." Ruxu looked at Zhou Ziheng, "You help me convey a word to Yulu, and say that the time has come." She'll understand. ”

Zhou Ziheng nodded, immediately got up and went back to the Tai Hospital in the palace, and went to the Chang'an Palace from the Tai Hospital, bringing the news to Yulu.

"Is the time come...... Gyokuro whispered, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Zhou Ziheng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but just looked at her suspiciously.

There is a lot of information in this sentence, including Ru Xu's next steps and instructions for Gyokuro's next steps. In fact, this also indicates that Gyokuro's mission is about to be completed, and she will soon be able to leave the golden glazed cage of the palace.

After Zhou Ziheng left, Yulu took out a small bottle of liquid from her medicine box, and when she was looking at it, An Guifei happened to see it on the other side of the curtain.

"Gyokuro, what are you holding in your hand?" Concubine An Guifei looked at Yulu's expression and seemed to care about this thing.

Gyokuro glanced up at her, "This is the elixir I developed earlier to rejuvenate and nourish the skin, and taking it regularly for a period of time can make the skin smooth and white, smooth and translucent. I've been trying it before, but I've only recently confirmed its efficacy, so I'm offering it to you. ”

"There is such a good potion?" An Guifei was in a questioning tone, but she was visibly excited, because she was convinced of Gyokuro's technique. After all, Gyokuro has been serving her for more than a year, not only relieving her headaches, but even the fragrances and medicines she wants on weekdays, Gyokuro can make them.

She said that if the potion can achieve those effects, then it will definitely be achieved.

An Guifei walked over to her and sat down, took the bottle of potion from her hand, and opened it to see that it was a lilac liquid, exuding a fresh and elegant fragrance.

"Still." Yulu paused, "This potion has a side effect, it can make people drowsy and lose their appetite for the first few days. ”

Concubine An waved her hand, "These are all small problems, how can they be more important than the appearance of this palace?" The emperor recently grounded me in the palace, and I am worried that there is no way to gain favor again......"

With that, he took the potion and left.

"Spring tent, help me light the incense in the house." Yulu instructed the palace maid who was waiting on the side, and took out a box of spices from the medicine box.

In the next three days, An Guifei would take the purple medicine every time she had a meal, and then felt weak and sleepy, so she lay in the back room for a long time and slept in a daze.

She seemed to wake up several times, but her consciousness was limited. At most, he begged the palace maid next to him for a glass of water, and then fell asleep again. From the third day, she began to have nightmares.

On the third day, Yulu observed An Guifei's situation and whispered to Zhou Ziheng, who came to change her dressing, "It's ready, tell Lord Jin that it's time to start." ”

On the same day, Ruxu took Qianyun and Peach Blossom to Chengyang Palace.

In Chengyang Palace, the emperor was looking at the excerpts handed over, "Liu Jin, how are the preparations for the marriage of Yun'an and the crown prince?" ”

"This morning, the minion just asked the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites said that it would be ready by the end of the month at the latest, and it would not delay the big day of the eighth day of the new year." Liu Jin smiled and brought the emperor a cup of tea.

"Liu died a year ago, and the position of the crown princess became vacant. I heard that the side concubine in his mansion has tried his best to get the title of crown princess......"

"The crown princess is extremely noble, of course they are eager to join her." Liu Jin whispered softly.

The emperor glanced at him, "Do you know why I made Yun An the crown princess?" ”

Liu Jin pretended to be stunned and said, "Although the slave doesn't know, but the emperor is wise, you must have your considerations." ”

"No matter what the Yun family says, he is also a capable general of the past dynasties, and he is the descendant of the generals of the Kai Dynasty. Yun He is dead, and I have cut the Yun family's military power, and people in the world will inevitably have no criticism. Why not conform to the will of the people? The emperor said.

"Yes, the emperor is really wise and virtuous to observe the people and conform to the will of the people." Liu Jin bowed.

In fact, Liu Jin knew very well in his heart that this was only one of the secondary reasons. The main reason why Yun'an was able to sit on the throne of the crown princess was because of the garrison of the northern defense line of Nanchengguo. Since the beginning of the Southern Cheng Dynasty, the Yun family has been fighting in the north for generations, and has set up an impermeable defense line at the northern entrance to resist the invasion of the Hu people.

It is precisely because of this that after many years of garrisoning the frontier, an army and garrison led by the Yun family gradually formed in the north. The Yun family's strength and power gradually increased, and in the generation of Yunhe's father, Yun Changfeng, such a force reached its peak. The army will be self-respecting outside, and the soldiers only know the handsome but not the king, which is the most taboo point of the kings of the past dynasties.

Fortunately, Yun Changfeng died in the battle, and Yunhe was still immature and could not provoke the Liang of the Yun family, so the emperor did not attack them. After Yunhe died, only Yun'an and one of Yunhe's widows were left in the family, and the emperor took back the military power in their hands.

But things are not so light. The prestige and management of the Yun family over the years, although the emperor took back the military power, the garrison is still surnamed Yun. The so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, this is the truth.

The north is cold and far away, and the emperor's hand really can't reach that far. But how can such a big piece of fat be in the hands of others? That's why the emperor wanted to win over Yun'an and make her the crown princess. Even if she becomes the queen in the future, it will not be a bad thing for Prince Qianyi.

But Liu Jin couldn't figure it out a little. It stands to reason that the prince already has the military department and Dali Temple in his hands, but the prince of the south is a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre, and he has no real military power in his hands. According to the checks and balances that the emperor has always adopted, Prince Nan should be the best candidate to marry Yun'an. But why did the emperor go to great lengths to let Yun An sit in the position of the crown princess?

From this point of view, the emperor is indeed partial to the prince.

"Your Majesty, the little prince and Lord Jin are asking to see you outside the palace." The father-in-law at the door came in to report.

Jin Ruxu? The emperor seems to have not noticed the name for a long time, "Let him in." ”

Then Ruxu led Peach Blossom into the main hall of Chengyang Palace, Qianyun and Ruxu saluted, although Peach Blossom did not understand the rules of the palace, but also knelt down.

"Why are you here together?" The emperor thought it was strange.

"Back to the emperor, the recent poisoning of the envoy case, the minister has other clues to provide to the emperor." Such as Xu solemn said.

The emperor frowned, "New clues? What does this have to do with you, and where did you get new clues? ”

"The youngest daughter of the Chen's family is the same age as the little prince, and she lived in the Nanwang Mansion earlier, and the two children became companions. On that day, the little prince came out of the Chang'an Palace, took the poisonous pastry to the minister's mansion, and divided the pastry into two parts, one for the little girl and the other for the prime minister's daughter. "As promised, he said truthfully.

Fortunately, the daughter's sense of smell was so sensitive that she escaped, and the minister sent someone to the prime minister's mansion to inform him that the pastry was poisonous. Fortunately, only one slave died of poisoning due to accidental ingestion. ”

"It's not a clue." The Emperor said.

Qianyun spoke, "Grandpa Huang, that day Qianyun saw that the pastry box was full of snowflake cream, you remember that your grandson doesn't like sweets, how could the concubine not remember?" At that time, Sister Liuli in the Chang'an Palace also ran out to explain to her grandson, saying that the concubine Niangniang had a headache recently, and she couldn't remember things clearly, and if her grandson didn't like to eat, she could share it with other brothers and sisters, so she didn't want to live up to her mother's kindness. ”

"In this way, Niangniang doesn't remember Qianyun's taste, so can't she even remember the kitchen of Chang'an Palace?" Qian Yoon's logic is clear and her words are clear.

"Are you saying that Chang'an Hall deliberately made sweets that you don't like to eat, but in fact, the real purpose is to poison Lord Jin's daughter through you?" The emperor understood.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang is wise." Qianyun lowered her head.

"Grandpa Huang, Peach Blossom ......" Peach Blossom didn't know how to call the emperor, so she called it with Qianyun.

"Peach blossom, call the emperor." Ruxu stopped her.

"Call the emperor, the peach blossom ...... that day" Peach Blossom tilted her head cutely, glanced at her mother, and looked at the emperor who was high above, without the slightest fear.

"That's it, let's call it Grandpa Huang." The emperor's gaze softened when he looked at the peach blossoms, and waved his hand to signal Ruxu not to interrupt the peach blossoms again.

Peach Blossom smiled at the emperor, "Grandpa Huang, there is celery in the pastries sent by Brother Qianyun that day, and Peach Blossom doesn't like celery the most." It must be that Sister Lop didn't want to harm the peach blossoms, so she put celery in it. ”

After the emperor heard this, his voice was a little colder and said, "Qianyun, you take this little girl down first." ”

After hearing this, Qianyun was a little strange and uneasy, but she still took Peach Blossom to the side hall of Chengyang Palace.

Ruxu already has a number in his heart. What Peach Blossom said just now obviously revealed a message. That is, the lop ear knows the peach blossom and Ruxu, and has a lot of friendship. Thinking about the fact that the hometowns of the two of them were in Qingchuan, the emperor must have immediately thought that the lop ear had been instructed by Ruxu to enter the palace, and even the jade dew was exposed.

"Is that Gyokuro and lop ear your people?" The emperor suppressed his anger.

Ruxu nodded, "Yes, they are ministers." ”

"What is your purpose in sending them into the Chang'an Palace?" The emperor half-squinted.

"The minister's purpose is to investigate an unjust case that year, and this matter is also closely related to you, and the minister believes you also want to know." If Xu is calm, "This matter is related to the death of Concubine Xiang back then." ”
