Chapter 45: Under the moonlight, Aunt Xiang's horror
Seeing that Concubine Ya had gone in to bathe, the thirty-year-old woman withdrew from the house.
"Aunt Xiang, where are you going at this time?" The eunuch guarding the door saw Aunt Xiang come out, and greeted her with a smile.
"I heard that there is a superb chrysanthemum outside our yard, I'll go and see it first, and when Ming'er Guifei asks about it, I'll be able to reply." Aunt Xiang smiled faintly, she is the person next to Concubine Ya, in charge of the flowers and plants in Concubine Ya's palace, and she has a set of techniques for those flowers and plants, so the flowers in Concubine Ya's palace bloom more than elsewhere, and even the emperor praised it.
Since this benefit, the identity of this Aunt Xiang in the palace is not ordinary, everyone respectfully calls her Aunt Xiang, this Aunt Xiang followed Ya Guifei into the palace together, and it can be regarded as Ya Guifei's companion, naturally she is Ya Guifei's henchman, and the eunuchs saw that she was going out at this time, so they smiled and let go.
Aunt Xiang walked out of the courtyard and argued a little, and then went to the left road, the chrysanthemum was specially planted there in Hanshan Temple, it was originally for the guests in the VIP courtyard to watch, the flowers bloomed elegantly, but at night, in fact, there was nothing to see, the eunuch guarding the door did not understand, but Aunt Xiang was very clear.
Walking along the path in front of the chrysanthemum, I didn't look at the half-packed chrysanthemum, but walked to the pavilion on the side, under the faint moon, there was a simple beauty sitting in the pavilion, sitting on the stone bench on the side, poured a cup of tea, drank it slowly, the wind blew under the moon, blowing the woman's beautiful face, the delicate pale little face with the eyes of the black jade, adding a little loneliness in this night.
Aunt Xiang looked at Ning Xueyan under the moon in disbelief, her eyes were staring at the pale face tightly, the huge waves were rolling in her eyes, the huge impact almost made her unable to believe her eyes for a while, she rubbed her eyes, and looked at the smiling girl in the pavilion again, so shocked that she couldn't even speak!
The pair of almost identical black jade eyes, although they are not very similar, but they also have a stunning face, but the one in front of her is too plain white, so that she can't see her beauty at a glance, and those childish eyes, she almost thinks that what she sees is the woman with a noble temperament and a peerless city......
Aunt Xiang's lips trembled twice, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, it was not her, it couldn't be her, that day the fire started, she watched her throw herself into the fire, the raging flames burned her clothes, and the flower-like face was beautiful, but it was beautiful, and then it was not in the smoke of the fire......
"Aunt Xiang, is she?" Ning Xueyan got up leisurely, the moonlight shone coldly on her little face, with a little blur, a pair of radiant eyes with a faint smile, calm and gentle, as if she really met by chance, not when Concubine Ya Guifei walked past her with Aunt Xiang, she flicked a note and fell on Aunt Xiang, and made an appointment to meet at this time.
Aunt Xiang, who was married to Concubine Ya's mother's family, had seen the Ming family in private with Concubine Ya before, and seemed to leave Aunt Xiang to the Ming family, but the Ming family refused, the previous Ning Xueyan didn't know who Aunt Xiang was, but now Ning Xueyan knew Aunt Xiang.
In the previous life, Ning Ziying's mother would make some spices, and she also knew how to use incense to make poison, and understood that when those kinds were mixed together, they were poisonous and invisible, but her mother herself said that she was not fine, she mentioned Aunt Xiang to Ning Ziying at that time, saying that Aunt Xiang was a master of perfumery, and she knew all kinds of poisons made with incense, and she would also mix poison herself.
If there is such a person by his side, it will hardly be a problem to fight and drug in the backyard in the future.
The Ming family was poisoned to death, this kind of poison is actually not difficult, as long as you know a little bit, you will know, but the Ming family rejected the kindness of Concubine Ya, which made Ning Xueyan very incomprehensible, but also from the day Aunt Xiang kowtowed to the Ming family, it was inferred that Aunt Xiang was afraid that the relationship with the Ming family was not ordinary, so I made an appointment to meet the daughter of the Ming family here.
She needs someone to help her now, if she has a drug debater like Aunt Xiang by her side, she doesn't have to worry that the Ling clan will poison her, and in some respects she can even fight back, with her, she can take revenge more boldly, which is why she risked her to ask Aunt Xiang out.
Sure enough, that Aunt Xiang came as promised.
"You...... Are you the daughter of Madame Ming, the fifth girl of the Protector's Mansion? Aunt Xiang finally controlled her emotions, calmed down, walked over slowly, looked Ning Xueyan up and down carefully, her eyes were a little more excited and confused, when she went last time, she only saw Ming's, and she never saw Ning Xueyan.
"Exactly, Aunt Xiang, please take a seat." Ning Xueyan smiled and made a gesture of please, sat down on the stone bench leisurely, picked up the teacup at hand and poured two cups, and pushed one to the opposite side.
"What's the matter with the five girls looking for me?" Aunt Xiang didn't sit down, she looked at Ning Xueyan vigilantly, and her eyes rolled deep.
"Aunt Xiang almost followed my mother before, I don't know if Aunt Xiang is willing to follow me if there is still a chance now?" Seeing that she didn't sit down, Ning Xuexiang didn't let her anymore, you lightly buttoned the teacup, raised your fluttering eyes, stroked the green silk on your face casually, and went straight to the point.
On that day, Concubine Ya Guifei deliberately sent Aunt Xiang to Ming's side, but Ming's didn't know why she resolutely didn't want it!
"The fifth girl wants me?" Aunt Xiang was stunned, she didn't expect Ning Xueyan to look soft, but what she said was so direct.
"Yes, Aunt Xiang, how can I leave Concubine Ya?" Ning Xueyan asked with a smile.
At that time, although she was hiding, she saw that Aunt Xiang was crying and reluctantly leaving, so she must have feelings for her mother.
"I can't leave Concubine Ya Gui Niang!" Aunt Xiang flatly refused.
"Why? Didn't Aunt Xiang want to stay with my mother before? Ning Xueyan didn't feel too surprised, Aunt Xiang would never come to her side easily.
"That's just my hope, Mrs. Ming won't let me stay with her." Aunt Xiang had something to say, and there was more gloom in her words, but she didn't say anything more.
"So, my mother is dead, Aunt Xiang, do you also want me to follow in my mother's footsteps?" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, as if she was talking about someone else's business, only hatred jumped in her eyes, the Ming clan died, died under the Ling clan's conspiracy, and the Protector Mansion didn't even give an explanation, so she took a few subordinates to fill the gap, Ning Zu'an really regarded her as dead!
"Your mother has been sick for a long time, so she ......" Aunt Xiang's face turned pale, and she said with difficulty in half a voice.
"Sick for a long time? Aunt Xiang was wrong, her mother died of poisoning, and after her death, she still had a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, and in the mourning hall, the imperial doctor around King Yi was diagnosed and treated, but the Hou Mansion only took a few people to blame, I don't know when, I will also follow in the footsteps of my mother. Ning Xueyan smiled, her tone was cold, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
This is not like talking about oneself, completely watching one's life and death with the cold eyes of an outsider.
Aunt Xiang's body shook violently, and her calm eyes flashed with a wave of anger, and it could be seen that she was very angry, with her attitude towards the Ming clan at that time, it was impossible not to care.
"Aunt Xiang, the Houfu Mansion is not a place for our mother and daughter to stay, my mother is too confident to end up like this, but I don't want to be so silently drowned in the backyard of the Houfu." Ning Xueyan's inky eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.
What purpose did the Ming family have to push such a big helper away, she didn't know, she just wanted to avenge herself, the Ming family, and Ning Xueyan now, and she would never let them succeed again and again, "If Aunt Xiang still thinks about her mother's old feelings, please help me." ”
Ning Xueyan stood up, remembering that she was pressed tightly in the water, the despair at the moment before she was suffocated, her fingers clenched slightly, no matter what time it was, she would not give up, of course she wanted to persuade Aunt Xiang, and it was impossible to achieve her goal at once, Aunt Xiang was a confidant by Concubine Ya's side, it was not easy to get to her side, this Aunt Xiang didn't seem to be an impulsive person, she would definitely think about it carefully.
And she just needs Aunt Xiang's help.
"What's wrong with the fifth girl?" Aunt Xiang stood on the side of the road, frowning and pondering, watching Ning Xueyan walk past her, suddenly her eyes widened, she grabbed Ning Xueyan's hand, and asked urgently.
"Aunt Xiang, what's wrong?" Ning Xueyan stood still and asked softly, but her eyes were not surprised.
Aunt Xiang pulled Ning Xueyan over, let her look at the light in the moonlight, looked at her face, picked up her hand again, put her fingers on the veins, and her voice trembled a little unconsciously: "The fifth girl often feels unwell, sleepy from time to time, insomnia and dreams, and sometimes has palpitations and pains?" ”
"Yes, thinking of my mother's death, how can I sleep well!" Ning Xueyan said indifferently, as if she didn't feel any surprise at all.
"The fifth girl is still taking medication?" Aunt Xiang's beautiful lips were a little pale.
"I've been using it, when my mother was still there, I kept letting people condition because I wasn't in good health, and now Mrs. Tai asks people to help me condition my body." Ning Xueyan smiled at the corner of her lips, her tone was flat like gossip, she was not surprised at all, but her eyes were deep and cold, "No matter what kind of medicine you change, there is always a light fragrance of osmanthus in the medicine, and it is really not easy for people to know it when mixed with medicinal materials, but my nose is too smart!" ”
After Ning Xueyan said this, Aunt Xiang was completely sure, stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "The fifth girl must not drink such medicine in the future, this is ...... This is a medicine that cuts off people's heirs and destroys people's lives, I have just seen it for the five girls, if I take more, I am afraid it will ...... It will never be ...... again in this life"
This kind of thing only appears in the competition for favor in the Hand Courtyard, and Ning Xueyan is still just a child now, the Ling family has made such a ruthless move, Aunt Xiang was still hesitating before, but at this time she has made a decision in an instant.
