Chapter 398: Harm has already caused disaster
At this time, this scene was dark and dreary in Bo Kai's mind, as if the sky above the head of the Xianglai Yuan was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, making everything under that dark cloud have a sense of suffocation like being on the verge of death.
Especially the dry willow tree, like a big dryad struggling in the dark, ready to eat people at any time.
The willow tree...... Willow......
There must be something wrong with that willow tree!
Bo Kai opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, and shook his head fiercely. Banish all the confusion that was in your head and keep your eyes on the willow tree.
Why are the other willow trees in the palace all sucking buds, but this willow tree is dry? If it was a willow tree that had long since died, wouldn't it have been dug up and planted with a new one?
What kind of place is that incense? But in the palace of the palace, in addition to the courtyard of the princess and his sister Concubine Bo, the most important place is located. There's a dead tree here, but it's unlucky. The minions in the palace are all very clever, and it is impossible to ignore this matter. Therefore, there is only one possibility, and that is that he has just died and has not been found yet.
Well, why did this willow tree die? And he died only recently...... Could it be that there are still people who pour hot water on it every day? Still is...... What are the other reasons...... For example, is there anything in the soil that can't keep it alive, like musk?
The younger sister said that among the rewards given by the princess to the courtyards, musk was put in the share of the incense courtyard. But Xiang came to the hospital, but there was no reaction at all.
In fact, this is not the case, the strong aroma of Fumei people can already explain everything.
How can a pregnant woman make herself so fragrant? Even if this aroma is not harmful to the fetus, when it reaches the ears of His Highness, it is inevitable that she does not know how to check.
There are no stupid people in this palace, and it is impossible for Fumei people to be favored by His Highness, and it is impossible to be stupid. So this kind of thing to keep her mouth shut, under normal circumstances, she would not do. Unless, to avoid a bigger problem. In the face of a bigger trouble, it is naturally nothing to leave people with this little criticism.
And what is the bigger trouble? Didn't the Fumei people make such a strong fragrance on themselves to cover up the aroma that something might have?
My sister said that the aroma of the Fumei people was so strong that they couldn't smell the musk at all. In fact, this is the true intention of the Fumei people. The Fumei people are just so that people can't smell whether there is musk on her body.
There was no reaction for so long, and it was clear that there was no musk on her body. But she couldn't let people know that she didn't have such a thing on her. If the person who did it knew that she had discovered this plan, wouldn't there be another plan waiting for her? So she is using the method of procrastination, wanting to confuse the other party first, and procrastination is one day.
If the Fumei people knew that this musk was made by their sister, how could they be so merciful? Didn't you go to His Highness to expose it earlier? This is a godsend, as long as you are not a fool, you will not let it go.
But now, instead of choosing to expose it, Fumeiren is very afraid of this person she thinks is the one who did it. What does it indicate? shows that she thinks that the person who killed her is the princess. She didn't dare to expose it, she didn't dare to confront people, so she could only hide.
Even the harmful things, she can only hide them, and she doesn't dare to show them as evidence.
Most of that thing was hidden under the willow tree, so the willow tree didn't sprout.
Since that thing is still there...... Isn't it possible to put it to good use?
If...... If the princess does it again, the Fumei people think that their lives are not guaranteed, and they can't bear it, will they go to report the princess?
Quite possibly.
If she denounces it, what will she do? Naturally, it was the evidence she already had in her hands. When the time came, she must have told Her Highness that the princess was going to harm her with a spice mixed with musk, but fortunately she found it in time and hid the musk under the willow tree. When the time comes, His Highness will definitely send someone to search for it, but what if he can't find it?
If you can't find it, she lied, and she framed the princess.
His Royal Highness thought that she was pregnant, and he might not punish her heavily, but the princess would definitely keep it in mind, and her life would not be better in the future. This is one of them. The second is that with her complaint in front of her, if something really happens to her in the future, without Fumei saying it herself, Her Royal Highness will also think that it was the princess who did it, and it has nothing to do with his sister.
So...... As long as the plan is good, the ultimate danger should be defused to the point where there is not much left.
Thinking so, I suddenly felt transparent. I just thought that tomorrow morning, I would go and tell my sister about the situation immediately. Let her plan well. While he's still around, he might be able to help.
Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Bo Kai took his mother to his sister's Yilan Courtyard again.
Mama Wu and Jing Min were still inconvenient to listen to on the sidelines, and returned to their rooms. The mother and son chatted for a while, and Bo Xinlan saw that her brother gave her a look, so she asked Dongxue to take her mother down to rest. There were only two brothers and sisters left in the room, and Bo Kai whispered this discovery to Bo Xinlan, saying, "Just think of a way to make Mrs. Fu think that the princess has done it again." ”
Bo Xinlan listened to her brother's words, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. If there is indeed musk under the tree, we just need to let His Highness see it. When His Highness saw the tree, he would certainly feel strange, and when the time came, he would be able to poke out the musk with a little touch...... All we need to do is take them both down in one fell swoop......"
Bo Xinlan said, whispering in her brother's ear. Bo Kai listened, nodded again and again, and couldn't help but sincerely admire his sister's clever calculation.
"It's just...... This musk matter, after all, is my inference, and we still need to find a way to confirm it. "Bo Kaidao.
Bo Xinlan was silent for a long time, but said: "It's okay, instead of taking the risk to check it out, it's better to take the risk of gambling." Even if there were no musk under that tree, we would have been charged with a crime of suspicion of impropriety, and nothing else would have happened. If you go to check, you can't go into the courtyard and make a big move, but you can't tell if someone finds it. ”
"Brother, you have found an opportunity to go to Linlang Pavilion to get musk today, and I will plan carefully here......"
If this can be done, it will save a lot of trouble. Without what she thought before, such a risky method could get rid of the child in Wu Qingluo's belly.
"Okay, I'll do it, and I'll do it today." Thin open road.
It should be sooner rather than later, he and his mother would not be able to stay in the palace for too long, it would be too unsightly. Therefore, within three or five days, it is best to help my sister solve this matter, so as not to leave and my sister will be helpless again.
Bo Xinlan took a silver ticket of one hundred taels and gave it to her brother: "Brother, you take this silver to buy musk, but don't buy so much, only five yuan is enough." You can keep the rest for yourself. ”
"This ......," Bo Kai said, "I'll take it first, buy the musk and come back, and I'll give you the rest." ”
He was reluctant to take money from his sister, but he really didn't have that much himself. In the past two years, I have made a little more money in the business of a trader. But in a year, it was only thirty or forty taels of silver.
"You just have to take it, you need capital to do business, and your parents also need to take care of it. My brother has a lot of money, and I can't help much. I can only use these coins to worry about my brother a little. ”
The brother and sister pushed and shoved again, and Bo Kai couldn't delay, so he accepted the silver ticket and was busy planning the matter.
Before dinner, Bo Kai returned to Yilan Courtyard with Fubaozhai's dim sum and Zhenweitang's braised pork, which was naturally just a cover. After Mama Wu and Jing Min left, they gave things to Bo Xinlan.
Bo Xinlan took it, handed it to Dongxue, and asked her to burn it in the house before Dr. Ming'er Ju came. If you want to succeed, you naturally have to pay some. It's just that these efforts are insignificant, and if you only smell it for a while, what can it matter? But Wu Qingluo's side couldn't be relaxed.
Early the next morning, Bo Xinlan let the winter snow burn the musk. When Mama Wu and Jing Min entered the house, they could naturally smell this fragrance. Mama Wu smiled: "Why is the incense in Madame's room a little different from the past?" Can the lady change the incense? The smell of incense is better than ever. ”
Bo Xinlan sniffed it carefully and said in surprise: "I didn't change it, it's the ones left in the incense burner." A small flying insect flew in my face last night, and I only remembered to burn the winter snow this morning. Maybe I haven't burned incense for a few days, and my grandmother is a little unaccustomed to smelling it, right? ”
Mama Wu hurriedly smiled: "Where can I be?" The slave maid thought it smelled good. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Dongxue say: "Niangniang, the slave also thinks that the smell of incense today is a little different from the past......
Dongxue said, sniffing carefully in surprise.
Bo Xinlan couldn't help but pay attention to it, and sniffed it carefully...... Unsure, he smiled, "It seems to be ...... It's a little different...... Maybe it's been too long, right? Leave it alone, there's not much left anyway. ”
Mama Wu and Jing Min didn't know what it tasted like, but they just felt that it was a little different from the past. Since Bo Xinlan said that they didn't care, they naturally didn't say anything, and quietly set up breakfast and served Bo Xinlan.
"Dongxue, you go and put away the breakfast, and go with me to my mother's place to sit down. I was always bothered by my mother's coming, and I felt very uncomfortable. Bo Xinlan hurriedly had breakfast and ordered.
"Yes." Dong Xue answered, cleaned up breakfast with Mama Wu and Jing Min, and accompanied Bo Xinlan out of the house where the musky aroma became more and more intense.
