Chapter 388: Cream! (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Before the old seven came out of smallpox, Feng Tingguo sent a batch of cream, but the quantity was limited, only a few bottles. Although this grease cream is good, it is not easy to obtain, and even the famous dark incense palace on the rivers and lakes cannot make this kind of grease. It is rumored that there is a strange person in the country of Fengting, who is best at making zuò beauty cream for royal women, he accidentally discovered a kind of fat beast unique to Fengting country, and the milk that overflows the corners of the mouth when the first child eats breast milk before the full moon will condense a paste, which fuses the colostrum of the fat beast and the saliva of the young son, which is actually a good thing to nourish the face, and this person uses the 28 virgins to help him collect the rain of the spring equinox, the dew of the summer solstice, the frost of the autumn equinox, and the snow of the winter solstice, and then with special spices and ointments to make this unique cream. Because the ingredients are so unique, you may be able to make 10 bottles a year. As a vassal state of Xilin, the Fengting Kingdom would pay a few bottles of tribute every two or three years. ”

"When I saw the list of tributes presented by the Ministry of Rites, I asked the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send the cream. When I arrived, I was in the imperial study, and I put it behind me, forgetting about it when I was done. On the day your seventh brother left, I somehow remembered this, so I put a few bottles of cream on my body, and prepared to give them to your mother and a few concubines. A few years ago, I gave a bottle to your mother, and although Miao'er didn't say it, she liked it very much. I thought that she had been helping out in Wenyuan Pavilion since Lao Qi fell ill, and I felt that I must thank her for this thought. ”

"I didn't expect that as soon as I walked out of the imperial study, someone came to report that the seventh man had died. I hurried to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Concubine Chen had already fainted. I have already told you before, and the only thing I didn't tell you is that in order to appease Concubine Chen, I gave her a bottle of cream. Later, I rushed to see the matter of Concubine Qi, and I left two bottles for her. Later, I came to this Ci'an Pavilion and gave the last bottle of cream to your mother. Baili Mingjiang stopped here and didn't look at Baili Moxu.

"It turns out that this cream was just given to the queen mother by the father, and the father must have trusted the queen mother all along. Baili Moxu suddenly realized. In fact, for this so-called beauty holy relic, Baili Moxu is a little embarrassed. In his opinion, a woman's happiness is written on her face, and if a woman is spoiled by her man, she will naturally be radiant, and she does not need to rely on the so-called beauty items to deliberately create a young face.

"Although all kinds of evidence were not favorable to your mother at that time, I knew very well that Miao'er was not that kind of person. Over the years, she has never harmed my heirs, and she has never competed with others for favor, she will never be able to do such a vicious thing. So I rushed to Ci'an Pavilion, just to tell her that before the matter came to light, I had no choice but to ground her, I knew that she was wronged, but I didn't say anything, just took out the bottle of cream and put it in front of her. Baili Mingjiang's eyes wandered, and his thoughts were obviously still stuck in the memories of that night.

"Didn't the queen mother say anything at that time?" After a long time, Baili Moxu finally broke the silence.

From the moment I entered the inner room, she was pleasantly surprised by the sleeping her, and Miao'er kept leaning on the head of the bed, lowering her eyes and listening to me, from beginning to end, without saying a word. Baili Mingjiang had previously told Baili Moxu about the situation that day, and deliberately hid this paragraph, presumably he himself actually knew very well, no matter how good he said, no matter how good he said, no matter how much he said trust, but Dongfang Miao still knew in his heart that the so-called grounding was a manifestation of distrust, and the bottle of cream cream became a symbol of appeasement.

Baili Moxu can imagine the mood of the queen mother at that time, for so many years, Dongfang Yumiao actually has no extravagant hopes for Baili Mingjiang, her heart has long been full of holes, the only thing she cares about is her son, and it is only for her son that she plays a qualified queen in front of Baili Mingjiang.

However, in the past six months or so, Baili Mingjiang has suddenly given her an unprecedented favor, as a woman, Dongfang Miao's already cold heart has not caused a trace of ripples? After all, Baili Mingjiang is the only man she has ever loved in her life!

Therefore, although she knew that Baili Mingjiang's love was not pure, and although she knew that Baili Mingjiang was just acting many times, Dongfang Miao's already dead heart slowly woke up, although it was only a little bit of resurrection, but it was indeed developing towards some good aspect, at least, she saw hope in Baili Mingjiang again.

However, the death of the Seventh Prince, the so-called infection of Concubine Qi, Baili Mingjiang came directly to this Ci'an Pavilion before he got any conclusive evidence, and announced that he was going to grounded Dongfang Miao, although he kept saying that he believed in Dongfang Miao, although he kept saying that he was forced to do so, although he kept saying that he had no choice, but Dongfang Miao was still deeply hurt.

It is not terrible for a person to be hit so that he can no longer see hope, and it is a big deal that his life is relatively depressed and boring, but the most terrible thing is that after hitting you to the point that there is no hope, he suddenly gives you a glimmer of hope and ignites a trace of confidence in the future, but others once again stifle this hope, making you heart-rending pain again, and being beaten into the darkness again.

Dongfang Miao didn't say anything at that time, not that she resented anyone, nor that she didn't want to defend herself, but that she was so sad that she was completely disheartened. Baili Moxu's hand hidden in his sleeve has been clenched into a fist, and Baili Mingjiang in front of him does know how to act, looking deeply affectionate for his mother, and looking guilty and distressed, but is he really like this?

Baili Moxu lowered his eyes, blocking all the emotions in his eyes. As far as he knew, there must be nine reincarnation pills in Xilin's treasury, although the number was extremely small, there should be one or two pills. Obviously, the imperial doctor said that if the queen mother was in a coma for more than seven days and could not wake up again, then why didn't the father give the queen mother the Nine Turning Soul Pill? In a word, this pill Baili Mingjiang should be kept for his own use, so how could he be willing to take it out to save Dongfang Miao's life? This selfish father may have some feelings for the queen mother, but what is that feeling compared to his own interests?!

"Father, this matter is indeed very strange, who poisoned this cream? When did he poison it? If it was before you gave it to the queen mother, how could he guess who you were going to give it to? If it was after that, how could he avoid Ah Yi and sneak into the queen's inner room?" Baili Moxu forcibly endured the dissatisfaction with Baili Mingjiang in his heart, and asked his own questions with an unchanged expression, he naturally would not think that this qiē was made by Baili Mingjiang.

Although it was said in the informant that Baili Mingjiang left Ci'an Pavilion with a smile when he left Ci'an Pavilion that day, Baili Moxu knew that it was because the silence of the queen mother made him panic, and he just used that smile to cover up his embarrassment.

"I thought it was strange, too. Baili Mingjiang frowned, "I feel that the top priority is to check whether the cream cream from Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi is poisonous. ”

"Father is wise!" Baili Moxu agreed.

Soon, the people sent by Baili Mingjiang brought back the other three bottles of clotting cream, and they were all poisonous, but the hair oil or other ointments from Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi were not poisonous, which showed that the person who poisoned them was indeed only targeting Dongfang Miao. Moreover, the person who came back also reported that the hair oil at Concubine Chen and Concubine Qi was not the same as that of Ci'an Pavilion.

Baili Moxu immediately asked Mama Li and Lan'er again, and they remembered for a long time before they remembered that Dongfang Miao's bottle of head oil seemed to be sent by Concubine Xi, because Dongfang Miao liked this faint fragrance very much, so she kept it for her own use, and rewarded the head oil sent by the Internal Affairs Office.

Baili Mingjiang's face changed again when he heard this, and Baili Moxu saw that he pulled out Concubine Xi, and wisely avoided talking about it, just saying that it was getting late, and Baili Mingjiang was invited to eat. Although he didn't have much appetite, Baili Mingjiang still sat down at the dinner table.

Mama Li is the most observant, and she has already retired from the people in the house, leaving Ah Yi to serve there.

The father and son didn't eat much, and basically didn't move, but drank there without a glass, and discussed a few words from time to time.

"Father, do you know how many people the Fengting Kingdom has paid tribute to the cream this time? Are there any suspicious people who have been in the imperial study in those days?" Baili Moxu played with the wine glass in his hand, thinking about the suspiciousness of this case, but he didn't say a word about the head oil.

"There will be no shortage of people who know what the tribute is, and if you have the heart to check it out with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites, you can know it. It's just that not everyone can enter my imperial study, and when this poison was laid, it's really hard to think about!" Baili Mingjiang was indeed a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that the things he rewarded would be manipulated, and he didn't expect that the oil was actually given by Concubine Xi. After all, Concubine Xi is the mother of Baili Moxin, and this discovery has made things even more complicated.

"This man's calculation must have been premeditated. Baili Moxu turned his wine glass and analyzed unhurriedly, "He first put a poison in the head oil of the queen mother, and then looked for an opportunity to put it in the cream." The poison in the oil should have been laid a long time ago, but he has not been given the second key poison for a long time because he is waiting and observing. Because he must know what kind of thing the queen mother must use, and only by putting the remaining toxin into it can he succeed. ”

"This person is really good at pondering people's minds, and he actually guessed in advance that I would reward Miao'er with clotting cream, and I also guessed that Miao'er would use this clotting cream. Baili Mingjiang's face was hard to see, "Could it be that he has placed eyeliner next to me, monitoring my every move and figuring out my words and deeds at all times?" R1154
