Chapter 52: The Poison of Comfrey
"Shut up!" Jing Yi suddenly scolded in a cold voice, and his eyes turned to the Liu clan coldly, "Mrs. Liu, do you have any questions about my words?" ”
Liu was frightened by Jing Yi's sudden majesty, she didn't expect that the young Tianzi, who was still a good talker, would change his face so quickly.
"Your Majesty, the women are just unhappy for the servants, if the murderer cannot be severely punished, the women will ...... I don't want to go! Liu said and began to cry again.
Jing Yi did not ease in the slightest because of Liu's tears, and his tone worsened: "I said, Xun Zhi is not guilty, and Mrs. Liu doesn't believe what I said?" ”
The Liu family was almost angry in her heart, Xun Zhi, a damn vixen, even the emperor came to help her speak.
Although he was very unconvinced, Liu still replied slowly: "The emperor's words, the women dare not believe it." ”
"This matter has nothing to do with Xun Zhi, I can testify," Jing Yi looked up and glanced around the people present, and said in an unhurried tone, "Because Xun Zhi spent the night in my courtyard last night. ”
As soon as Jing Yi said this, everyone present looked at Xun Zhi with a shocked face, and their mouths opened slightly, and they were about to swallow an egg.
Liu's face was even more incredible, and his eyes looking at Xun Xuan were full of viciousness.
Jing Yi put down this sentence, got up and led a group of eunuchs and palace maids towards the outside of the courtyard.
"The emperor drove back to the palace! Dali Siqing, this case will be handed over to you to dispose of. The big eunuch beside Jing Yi walked to Dali Siqing's side kindly and said with a smile.
Dali Siqing nodded knowingly.
Now that Xun Zhi has the emperor as a witness, everyone doesn't even look at her differently, Dali Siqing is also a person who understands things, so it is naturally impossible to take Xun Zhi to the cell for questioning as before.
Lan Gu's body was carried away, and there was no follow-up after that.
What everyone is more concerned about now is what happened to the emperor last night with the only youngest daughter left by Duke Wuguo, could it be ...... Already pampered?
If he was favored, then why didn't the emperor bring people back to the palace to give him a title?
For a while, there were different opinions, and it was said that the emperor missed the queen mother too much, so he called Xun Zhi, who was somewhat similar to the queen mother, to express his longing.
It is also said that Xun Zhi was bent on climbing the dragon and the phoenix and wanted to climb the dragon bed, but the emperor couldn't see it, so he locked the person in the next room.
But the most said is that the emperor likes Xun Zhi and has the intention to accept her as a concubine, but Xun Zhi is not yet fifteen years old and has not yet reached the age of entering the palace.
……
Lan Gu's case ended so inexplicably, and the ladies of Anfu were also ready to go home.
Here, Xun Xuan had just gotten into the carriage, and before she could sit down, Fu Rongrong hurriedly sat in.
Xun Xuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Fu Rongrong to suddenly come out, and said with a smile: "Why did Cousin Fu sit here with me?" ”
"Anyway, the two of us are close to each other, isn't it the same to go back in your carriage?" Fu Rongrong smiled and grabbed Xun Xuan's arm.
Xun Xuan smiled and let the coachman set off.
There was no one around, and Fu Rongrong looked at Xun Xuan with a serious face: "Why don't you come with me honestly?" Where the hell did you go last night? ”
Xun Xuan slowly straightened his clothes, and said in a light tone: "Didn't the emperor say it?" I was in his yard last night. ”
Fu Rongrong twisted her eyebrows, obviously not convinced: "How is it possible?" What is the emperor asking you to do in his courtyard? ”
Xun Xuan lowered her eyes and said lightly: "How can we guess the emperor's thoughts?" ”
Xun Xuan didn't plan to tell Fu Rongrong in detail about her calculation of Jing Yi, so as not to worry Fu Rongrong.
"Your Majesty...... Won't take your eyes on you seriously? Fu Rongrong whispered to Xun Xuan.
Xun Xuan looked at Fu Rongrong with a smile, with a joke in her eyes: "When did Cousin Fu start listening to the nonsense of those outsiders?" ”
Fu Rongrong exhaled lightly, and glared at Xun Xuan with some complaints: "It's not that I'm worried about you, I made a lot of trouble last night!" ”
"Am I not doing this?" Xun Xuan said coquettishly.
"By the way, I just saw Miss An outside, she is better now?" Fu Rongrong said with concern.
"Although her illness is not critical, she has never recovered." Xun Xuan sighed, as if she remembered something, and said with a solemn face, "What did you find out about the medicine I gave you last time?" ”
Fu Rongrong nodded: "That's why I came here, but there were a lot of things yesterday, and I forgot about it when I was in a hurry." ”
"A few days ago, someone sent a message to me, saying that the medicine was mixed with a large amount of comfrey, and that comfrey can cure wounds if used less, but if you use too much and accidentally mix it into the blood, it is likely to lead to menstrual irregularities, and more dangerous ones will lead to infertility."
Fu Rongrong's face was very solemn, and she said puzzledly: "Why did the Liu family do such a ruthless treatment to Miss An?" ”
Xun Xuan twisted her eyebrows, and said in a slightly cold tone: "The selection of good people in the palace, the menstrual affair is also an extremely important part, after all, after entering the palace, you have to open up branches and leaves for the emperor, and the Liu family is already preparing for An Xuehan to enter the palace." ”
Fu Rongrong couldn't help but gasp when she heard this: "The palace chooses good people, according to the rules, there is one more from one house, and the Liu family is paving the way for An Xuehan!" ”
Xun Xuan nodded: "An Xuehan is the pearl of her palm, and An Sheng also has high hopes for her, so she naturally started planning early." ”
"It's just that I never expected that the Liu family would be so eager to do it, and it would be so ruthless, if it weren't for my extra heart, my eldest cousin's body would probably be dragged by her for life."
Fu Rongrong sighed, reached out and patted the back of An Xuehan's hand: "Don't worry, let's just see the move, we have to face the difficult things left and right." ”
Xun Xuan smiled when she heard this, but her heart was much more relaxed, Fu Rongrong's optimistic and open-minded character, Xun Xuan has always been very envious, as if any difficulties are not so difficult for her.
……
Back in Anfu, Xun Xuan did not immediately return to Hanyunju, but went to Fanglan Courtyard with An Anyue.
Liu Shi stared coldly at Xun Xuan's back on the side, and he was so angry that he almost turned his back in one breath.
Everyone returned to their respective mansions, and An Xuehan followed the Liu family to Qingdan Pavilion.
Liu was so angry that as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he smashed a priceless vase on the table to the ground, and poured it out with a stomach full of curses.
"Xun Zhi, this slut! What kind of thing is she? actually dared to steal your limelight in front of the emperor, if it weren't for him, how could the emperor not see you? Look at her foxy look, which point is comparable to you? When there was no one around, Liu began to curse angrily, and his mouth was completely unrestrained.
An Xuehan was also angry in her heart, but because of the cultivation she had learned since childhood, it was not easy to attack.
"Mother, Xun Zhi, a cheap girl, it will be a scourge to keep it sooner or later, we might as well find a family to marry her before the show girl enters the palace next year, so as not to let her harm my good deeds!" An Xuehan already had this thought in her heart, originally she wanted to wait until Xun Zhi reached the year of Ji Lu to mention this matter, but now it seems that Xun Zhi is afraid that she will not be able to wait for the year of Ji Lu, and she will be elected as a concubine in the palace.
An Xuehan is the one who doesn't want Xun Xuan to gain power.
An Xuehan's words pointed out a clear way for the Liu family.
Liu Shi nodded hurriedly: "This is a good idea, when the time comes, just point her an old man and see how she still stands in your way!" ”
An Xuehan sneered, thinking about it like this, she felt a lot better, she thought about it for a while, and said: "Mother, in a few days, it will be the Qixi Beggar's Day, it's a good time!" ”
Liu thought about it and felt that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried: "But don't forget, Xun Zhi still has an old lady Xing behind him to rely on, even if we make a good deployment, we have to nod old lady Xing, right?" ”
An Xuehan thought for a while, and a touch of viciousness flashed in her eyes: "Didn't mother forget?" In a few days, it will be the day of my wedding, and then I will find a reason to pray for Mrs. Xing to go to the temple for a few days, and when she comes back, everything is already cooked and cooked, and she just wants to say nothing. ”
"It's still my Han'er smart, so that's it."
……
Over there, the mother and daughter of the Liu family were busy calculating Xun Xuan, but here Xun Xuan was worried about the poison of the comfrey on An Xinyue's body.
"Cousin Xun, please take a seat." Anxin Yue beckoned Xun Xuan to sit down.
After Xun Xuan sat down, she didn't say much, just glanced around.
An Xinyue looked at Xun Xuan's hint, and then understood it and let the people around her go down.
Only the two maids beside Xun Xuan, Qu You and Qi Yin, remained.
"Didn't my eldest cousin always want to know what was going on with the red and white Yuloneyan dress? I have found the little guy who was in charge of delivering the message that day, and my eldest cousin can confront him face to face! After Xun Xuan finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Qi Yin.
Chiyin nodded, turned to go out, and after a while, a small servant came in.
The little guy was pushed hard by Chi Yin, and the whole person fell on the ground and ate.
Xun Xuan sat calmly on the chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and asked lightly: "Let's talk about it, how did Mrs. Liu explain to you that day?" ”
The little guy lowered his head and said cautiously: "Mrs. Liu asked me to send clothes to each courtyard, and asked me to go to Yungui Temple to participate in the Empress Dowager's birthday worship in three days. ”
An Xinyue's face sank, and her eyes turned pale, and she said, "But you didn't tell me that you would participate in the Underworld Worship after three days." ”
The little guy lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Qi Yin on the side glanced at Xun Xuan, his eyes turned cold, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it on the neck of the little guy: "Say!" ”
"Say, I say! It was Mrs. Liu who ordered me not to inform the eldest lady. The little guy didn't think about it, so he recruited them all.
Xun Xuan squinted, lowered her body and asked, "In other words, the red and white Yuloneyan skirt was also specially ordered by Mrs. Liu to give to Miss An?" ”
