Han Youning looked at Wang Caifei behind Wang Caidan, the face that was originally full of bookish air had lost a lot of weight and was full of depression.

She was holding a satin box in her arms, and when she saw Han Youning looking over, she stepped forward and put the box on the table, "This is the brocade cushion I made......

She hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else, I just took it as a gift to the imperial aunt. I don't have anything in my hands to get my hands on, but I got a brocade a few days ago, which is the latest suit this year......

Han Youning opened the box, and there were three pairs of brocade mats neatly placed inside, thick and exquisite, and this box should also be wrapped in satin by herself, compared to Wang Caidan's fine carved wooden box, it is a lot shabby. Not to mention the ginseng and He Shou Wu, which were worth thousands of taels of silver as soon as Wang Caidan made a move.

It seems that this second lady has a bad life in the Zhenguo Mansion. Also, the person who could be pushed out to replace her and her relatives in her previous life was at best a pawn in the family that could be discarded at will.

She doesn't know how many people played and compromised in that relationship. But Wang Caifei did indeed become the one who was finally abandoned, and finally ended in tragedy.

Han Youning picked up a brocade mat and looked through it carefully.

Wang Caifei looked at Han Youning nervously.

Wang Caidan sat down with Han Youning's hands and drank tea with his eyes down quietly.

Last year, the second sister wanted to use the brocade mat to curry favor with Han Youning, and she looked at the position of the side concubine, but she was disgraced by King Jin in public, but today she is doing it again......

Han Youning said with a smile, "I just returned to the capital, and I happen to be missing a few brocade mats, and the second lady has a heart."

Wang Caishuang's eyes flashed, "It's good if the imperial aunt likes it, it doesn't take much effort."

Wang Caidan held the teacup for a moment, she slowly put the teacup down, and said with a smile, "Since the seventh emperor uncle and the seventh emperor aunt returned to Beijing, the second sister began to sew this brocade mat, and it took a lot of effort. A whole horse of brocade material, only picking out these six pieces of material, a clump of orchids to a clump of green bamboo, in pairs."

In other words, three of these six mats are for Zhao Chengyuan.

Wang Caifei's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "I'm afraid that the colors will be too messy......

Han Youning smiled, "It's hard for the second lady to have this thought, the prince always likes to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms outside, and he loves to let me accompany him, so the mat is naturally used one-on-one."

She handed the box to Ling'er, "Take out a pair and put it in the dormitory, and put the rest away."

"Yes, Princess."

Ling'er hugged the box and retreated.

Wang Caifei smiled gratefully and sat down under Wang Caidan.

The surprise in Wang Caidan's eyes flashed, and Han Youning treated the second sister and seemed to be quite close. She already knew the second sister's thoughts, could she be so generous to the woman who coveted her husband?

She restrained her thoughts and was concerned about Han Youning's poisoning, "A few days ago, I went into the palace to talk to my aunt and grandmother, and I heard that the imperial aunt was poisoned by eating wild flowers. I wonder what that wildflower looks like?"

Han Youning looked at Wang Caidan, "The county lord has a study of flowers and plants?"

Wang Caidan said with a smile, "I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I have read some books such as "Shennong's Hundred Herbs" and "Notes on Flowers and Plants".

"Cangyuan Mountain is full of spiritual energy, and there are many rare flowers, but I can't tell which one of them is poisonous." Han Youning smiled, "If the county lord is curious, I can draw it to you, but my painting skills are limited, so it's hard to say if I don't like it." ….

Wang Caidan was quite interested, "Okay, Aunt Huang drew it, and I have seen it for a long time. Even if there are three points like this, it's a feast for my eyes."

She is aware of the imperial aunt's painting skills, which can be seen from the fat bamboo on the purse of the seventh emperor uncle.

Autumn leaves bring pen and ink.

Han Youning thought for a moment and began to draw on rice paper.

Wildflowers bloom and come to life in her pen.

She grew up in Cangyuan Mountain and knows every grass and tree on the mountain by heart. The master knew that she loved to eat flowers, so he told her about the appearance of those flowers and plants in the same way as the medicinal properties, and asked her to keep copying them, keeping them firmly in mind, for fear that her apprentice would accidentally die.

It's because she doesn't paint other things, paint

These flowers and plants are at ease.

Wang Caidan looked at those flowers and plants in surprise, even if he let himself paint them, he couldn't paint them so realistically.

Han Youning put down the pen, "I only remember these, and there may be omissions on the side, I can't remember it clearly."

Wang Caidan pointed to an unusually bewitching and beautiful flower, "Dark Bell? The princess ate this too?"

Han Youning nodded, "It's not easy to get it from the cliff. It turned out to be called the Dead Bell."

Wang Caidan smiled, "This flower is as its name suggests, if you eat it, you will enter the underworld, and it is more toxic than arsenic, no wonder Master Xuanzhi can't save you."

Han Youning praised, "The county lord is erudite, and he even recognizes such a rare poisonous flower."

Wang Caidan said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Su, a doorman of the Jin Palace, he has a lot of experience in all kinds of medicinal herbs, and I have seen many rare poisonous herbs in his yard. Presumably he is a master of poison, right? Didn't he make some antidote pills?"

Han Youning was surprised that Wang Caidan's heart was as careful as a hair, and she could even notice the doorman in the house. When she asked about these things today, was it just out of curiosity, or did she inquire for the emperor to confirm, or did she have another purpose?

In her previous life, Wang Caidan was still the one who gave her the antidote pill, but now she has to painstakingly analyze the motives of her words and deeds.

"I've only seen him once or twice, and I don't know if he has the skills. The prince has boiled his hair white in order to find the antidote to the snow lotus, and presumably Mr. Su's ability is not too great."

Wang Caidan sighed, "That's what Aunt Huang said. I pity the prince's cousin......

She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

Han Youning asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Wang Caidan hesitated for a moment and said, "The crown prince met Lu Yushi on the way back to Beijing from the northwest, and heard that the princess was seriously ill...... He turned around and went to Xiliang to look for the thousand-year-old snow lotus."

Han Youning was stunned there, no wonder it was not Zhao Chen who greeted them when he went out of the city that day, but the fourth prince.

But it's been three months since Lu Yushi returned to Beijing, and Zhao Chen hasn't come back yet?

Wang Caidan said worriedly, "It's winter now, and it's still bitterly cold in the summer on the snowy mountains, how can the prince's cousin survive this kind of cold winter. I heard that when the prince went, his serious injuries had not yet healed, and he did not have many people with him."

Han Youning asked, "Does the prince have any news to send back?"

Wang Caidan shook his head, "No news. Everyone knows about the emperor's recovery in the past few days, even if the prince's cousin has been in the capital, it will be a month before he gets the news. I'm worried that he won't go down the mountain if he can't find the thousand-year-old snow lotus, in case he ......."

She paused and sighed deeply.

Han Youning took a deep breath, but his chest was still dull and he couldn't breathe.

Zhao Chen, why do you have to do this?

She thought he owed her, but in the past and present lives, she didn't understand who owed more to whom.
