Chapter 223: Incense and Tea

In fact, if it was for Nanyan's society, she shouldn't have hidden anything, but if she told Qi Jingzhi the truth, it would not be so easy to understand, if she told Qi Jingzhi that the Xiao family had spies in Nanyan, Qi Jingzhi would definitely have to ask her why she knew, how would she explain this?

It was Ye Tanghua who could only entangle herself, but before she could come up with a result, she saw Qi Jingzhi in front of her turn her head and asked, "How much do you know about Xiliao and the Xiao family?" ”

Ye Tanghua made Qi Jingzhi stunned, and subconsciously covered it up: "Also, I don't know anything, I just feel that Concubine Xiao is not right......"

"Really?" Qi Jingzhi seemed to be a little disappointed, thought about it and said, "The Xiao family is not quite right, you should be careful on weekdays." Especially the things sent by Concubine Xiao, don't move. ”

…… She knew this earlier than anyone knew.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Xiao seems to have helpers inside and outside the palace, can Your Majesty find out your eyebrows?" Ye Tanghua thought about it for a while, and felt that she had to give Qi Jingzhi a reminder, and she couldn't say it clearly, so she just knocked on the side around the corner.

Qi Jing was stunned, and turned his head to look at her: "Concubine Xiao has helpers in the palace and outside the palace?" How do you know? ”

Ye Tanghua blinked her eyes and tilted her head: "The spices that Concubine Xiao gave me a few days ago, although I don't know if there are any strange spices mixed in them, but the various spices used to hide people's eyes and ears are wrapped in musk, if Concubine Xiao's pregnancy is true, then she will never be able to concoct these spices with her own hands, she must have the hands of dummies, and the control of musk in the palace is extremely strict, how can Concubine Xiao alone have a way to get musk?" She is not as beautiful as our Nanyan girl, and the family can secretly bring some things into the palace. ”

"Spices...... Did you use the spices? Qi Jingzhi turned around abruptly and stood up, with an ugly expression on his face.

"No...... I know there's musk in there, how can I use it indiscriminately? It's not a good thing. Ye Tanghua shook her head with a smile.

Qi Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded again: "That's good...... Your family already has that cloud tea, if you add that fragrance, I really don't know what to do with the Ye family. ”

"What's wrong with the incense and tea?" Ye Tang Hua was stunned.

"That tea and spices are the same as if they are in contact alone, at most they may be poisoned if they drink that tea, but if the two things are in contact at the same time, after accumulating for a period of time, they will be poisoned, according to my understanding, if people are hit by this poison, Xiao Concubine's head seems to be able to control people's minds and even their every move through a special method...... Now it seems that there are people in the palace who are already under control, so I began to focus on this matter. Qi Jingzhi led her to continue walking outside the palace, and by the way, she brought the information about spices and tea with Ye Tanghua.

Ye Tanghua was stunned, frowned slightly, and groaned for a while, then raised her head suddenly: "What, Concubine Xiao is practicing with the Ye family?" ”

"I don't think so, but when I heard you say this today, I found that it seems to be the case, no wonder she pretends to be so gentle, but when she goes to stop you today, her face seems to be green, and she has made such a dumb loss in vain, and you really have some ability." Qi Jingzhi smiled slightly.

Ye Tanghua didn't answer, just sneered, no wonder Concubine Xiao's father didn't ask for a transfer from the former Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, but after Ye Yuanzhi had just been transferred back to the Ministry of Rites, he began to visit the door twice in three days, Xiliao's plan was certainly on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to find an opportunity to give Ye Yuanzhi various gifts, including spices, right?

In the previous two months, Ye Yuanzhi's performance was not what she expected, so she didn't notice anything unusual, now that she thinks about it, it's just that the spice didn't work, or Ye Yuanzhi didn't go to Ye Mu's place, so he didn't drink Ye Mu's tea, right? So Concubine Xiao shifted her goal and gave her fragrant cakes instead?

Ye Tanghua thought of this, and was shocked in her heart, when Aunt Li was still there, Ye Yuanzhi would not usually go to Ye Mu's place, but in the days when Aunt Li was not in Ye's mansion, Ye Yuanzhi was no longer willing, and he had to go to Ye Mu's place every day to sit, if he had been using that spice......

When she thought of this, she only felt that her heart was tight, could Ye Yuanzhi have been controlled? ……

Qi Jingzhi didn't seem to expect this, and was still muttering: "...... In short, everything must be careful, now the court is not peaceful, and the rivers and lakes are also very noisy, who knows what these people are thinking in their heads, and the New Year has not stopped, and now the New Year is over, it is even more noisy......"

"Your Majesty, Qing Shang has something, I'm afraid I have to explain it to you." Ye Tanghua bit her lower lip, but decided to tell the truth, involving the Nanyan Imperial Court, this is not something she can be willful, and it is really difficult for her to make any achievements with her alone.

"Huh? What's up? Qi Jing walked while casually turning around, waiting for her to speak.

"Actually...... The father may have been poisoned by this strange poison, Qing Shang is not sure, but he still hopes that the emperor can be on guard. Ye Tanghua sighed.

Qi Jingzhi was startled, and then he stopped and turned around: "When did it happen?" How do you know? ”

"The emperor should still remember that a few days ago, Qing Shang had sued, and when he complained, Aunt Li had said it herself, Xiao Chuge had asked his father to say a few good words for him, and let him be transferred to the military department, and he had given gifts to his father, and his father had personally admitted that he had received spices from Xiao Chuge, but the spices were engraved with the words ambergris. Selling dog meat on a sheep's head is Xiao Concubine's forte, it is difficult to guarantee that Xiao Chuge can't play this hand, Qing Shang never paid attention to these in the past, but now that he thinks about it, he knows that things are complicated, and I don't know if his father has a way now, the emperor had better guard against it......" Ye Tanghua lowered her head and said these in a low voice.

Qi Jingzhi nodded, only feeling a headache: "I really didn't expect that there was such a thing...... Although Ye Qing's family is a bit confused, he is still a good hand in political affairs, and in the end, he is also a person who has won the top prize, if he is really unusable so suddenly, I can't find such a suitable person to manage these messes in the Ministry of Rites for a while, but I can't just throw people here like this......"

"Your Majesty, the community is the most important." Ye Tanghua sighed, and she didn't know if she was helping or adding to the chaos.

Qi Jingzhi lowered his head and thought about it, and nodded: "I can't just deal with the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee because of such a shadowless matter...... The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites still needs to be done by Ye Qing's family, as for weekdays, Qing Shang should pay more attention, if you find that Ye Qing's family is not quite right, tell me in time. ”

"Qing Shang knows." Ye Tanghua nodded, which is considered to be down for the time being.

At this time, in the Nanzhao Post House, as soon as the princes came back, they dismissed all their subordinates, and ordered their own soldiers to surround the room layer by layer, so that they dared to talk with confidence.

Ge Longpo didn't have a big grin at the banquet at this time, but his eyes were bright: "The information we received is really true, it seems that the group of people want to cooperate very sincerely." ”

"A bunch of treasonous scum...... But it's really thanks to this group of scum that we can now capture the mind of Emperor Nanyan so easily. Ge Longjia sat on the chair, blowing the tea unhurriedly, and was about to drink it for a long time, but after thinking about it, he put it down again, and looked at Ge Long: "Third brother, don't leave the result of the matter to them first, let them dry them for two more days, and don't let them think that Nan Zhao is in a hurry to beg them." ”

Ge Long replied in a low voice, Fu shook his head and smiled: "But I really didn't expect that the emperor of Nanyan actually produced an amorous seed, didn't they all say that it was the most ruthless emperor's family?" This Emperor Nanyan is really impressive......"

"My Fair Lady, the gentleman is so good but he can't ask for it, so naturally he can only express his feelings in other ways, but we still have some miscalculations, I didn't expect that although the woman is married, she still leaves a daughter who is so similar to herself, if there is no girl, wouldn't our plan be better implemented? Why is it so much discounted as it is now? I was sent to live in the garden......"

"If you want to hurry, you can't do it, this is also something that can't be helped, but big brother doesn't have to worry too much, although that girl is very in the way, she won't be able to get in the way of our business soon......" Ge Long said and couldn't help but chuckle lowly.

"Oh? The second brother said this, didn't he have some countermeasures on the other side of Xiliao? When Ge Longa heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways.

Ge Long said with a smile: "Not to mention that Xiliao originally had a mind here, so he made Xiliao so embarrassed by the girl, and it is impossible for Xiliao to leave this girl to Nanyan, right?" ”

Ge Long said in surprise: "What does the second brother mean that Xiliao wants to make peace with Nanyan?" ”

"Naturally, this is the case, and there is no reason for Nanyan to marry a girl from Xiliao every year, right? Isn't it difficult to borrow and repay? Xiliao has married so many princesses, so he should marry one. Ge Long nodded calmly.

Ge Longjia frowned: "I'm afraid this is not necessarily, right?" Think about it carefully, the last Xiliao princess married Nanyan, it was more than 20 years ago, Xiliao has not mentioned the matter of harmony with Nanyan for so many years, and now she wants such an outstanding talented woman at the first glance, Nanyan can agree? ”

"That's not necessarily, Nanzhao has already offered a girl who is exactly the same as that girl, Emperor Nanyan just likes this kind of appearance, it doesn't have to be that girl, besides, Xiliao's request can't be considered excessive, people just want a talented girl, if Emperor Nanyan refuses to agree, it will be too unusual, right? A woman is just a woman, can she be more important than the country? Ge Long was a little unimpressed, but at the same time he felt that there was something wrong with his words, but it was only for a moment, and soon he regained the feeling that he was right.
