Chapter 381 What is suitable for reunion
"Okay, no matter how much you say, I'll listen." Xu Ziqiao's heart was warmed by the feeling of being lost and found again. He originally felt that this winter was extremely cold, but with Lin Huiru, everything can be treated as a different matter.
"My lord, congratulations, my lord, congratulations to Madam on the reunion after a long absence, then the subordinates will not bother you." Yan came back to salute, as should be done, but on this occasion, it was too embarrassing.
Xu Ziqiao nodded, "Where's that Mr. Bai?"
"I'm Bai Qianyi, I've met the Prime Minister." Bai Qianyi stepped forward with a slight twitch between his brows. I sent it back, but my thoughts were a little messy.
"This journey, thanks to your care, I hope you can go back to Xiangfu with me to cleanse the dust." Xu Ziqiao bowed his hands. If it wasn't for Bai Qianyi, this matter would have been really tricky and troublesome.
Bai Qianyi nodded, watching Lin Huiru was wrapped in a cloak by Xu Ziqiao, and they drove back to the prime minister's mansion together.
The wind and snow were very heavy, and there was a layer of snow on the ground when we walked to the prime minister's mansion. Bai Shu directed people to clear the snow in the yard, "It's the most slippery place, what if the madam accidentally hurts when she comes back?" "
"Bai Shu, how can I be so sloppy." Lin Huiru was led off the horse by Xu Ziqiao, and said something behind Bai Shu.
As soon as she heard this familiar voice, Bai Shu knew who was back. She covered her mouth with excitement, her eyes were red, and she lost her composure while hugging Lin Huiru, "Ma'am, I've lost a lot of weight because I've been so worried about you during this time."
"The madam is finally back. During this period of time, my lord didn't think about food and tea, and lost a lot of weight. Now that the madam is back, the culprit can be punished properly." Yulian also echoed with her head.
Although the new year has not yet passed, because of Lin Huiru's safe return, the Prime Minister's Mansion became lively again, and it no longer felt lifeless and uninhabited.
The moment Bai Qianyi entered the door, he met Bai Shu's eyes at a glance, and the two were stunned for a moment. Bai Shu hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you, sir, for helping my wife. Great kindness, nothing to repay."
"Okay, repay slowly, right now he has nowhere to go, I have discussed with him, we will help you, are you still missing a person with strong martial arts? Just stayed to give him an errand. After Lin Huiru finished speaking, she swayed to Xu Ziqiao and tugged at his sleeve, "Okay.
"Of course, if you have nowhere to go, and you are Xiaoru's benefactor, you can stay as a doorman. What Bai Shu said is right, there is no repayment for this matter. If Mr. Bai has any requests, you can make them. " "Xu Ziqiao said.
Lin Huiru dragged people into the room, "It's agreed, I'll help him find a sister who has been lost for many years. It's not too late. After collecting the information, I can find it right away. "
Every word and every frown, Bai Shu followed behind and listened, feeling shocked beyond words. The
feeling of returning home made Lin Huiru feel happy. She patted this and touched that. Hei rushed over, maybe it was because he didn't eat much during this time, and the dog also lost weight.
"Madam, Xiao Hei may miss you during this time, and he only eats a little. If you think about it, it will definitely be a little bit tonight." You can eat better. "Bai Shu adjusted his mentality and hurried forward and said.
Lin Huiru held Xiao Hei's huge head. Although Xiao Hei was just a dog, there was still emotion in his eyes. It must have been a very hard time.
" Alright, Bai Zhu, go buy a few more catties of meat and vegetables, buy whatever you can, let's celebrate tonight, let's eat hot pot. "Lin Huiru couldn't help swallowing when he thought about it.
It's best to eat hot pot in winter.
Bai Zhu and Bai Qianyi may not know what hot pot is, but Xu Ziqiao knows it and is overwhelmed by the deliciousness of hot pot. Wait until
later Everyone moved away, and Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but pulled Lin Huiru into her arms again, buried her head on her neck and took a deep breath, "Do you know that during your absence, I have been thinking about it a lot. Every day is very uncomfortable. "
"Of course I know, I miss you too, but you don't know the adventures I've had during this time, sometimes I'm so tired that I fall asleep when I don't run, but I think I can see you when I escape, so I still have to do my best Run away with all your strength." Lin Huiru was hugged tightly, and her heart was warm, she gently touched Xu Ziqiao's back, thinking in her heart that she could never leave again.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before the end of the year for that man, Wan Chengxuan, to bring him to justice. He is suspected of treason, raising soldiers and horses, and even smuggling gunpowder. It's enough for him to die a thousand times. It's gone." Xu Ziqiao gritted his teeth when he spoke, causing him to be separated from Lin Huiru for so long, and causing Lin Huiru to experience so many dangerous things, no matter what, Wan Qixuan will have to die! Lin Huiru
points She nodded, but her heart was filled with joy. There is nothing more joyful than knowing that someone cares about her. Xu Ziqiao really put her on the top of her heart. This man is married, and she is considered lucky in her life.
After a while at noon, the two of them naturally slept with their clothes on. When they got up, the sky outside was a little dark, and a thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.
As soon as the door was opened, Lin Huiru couldn't hold back the joy in her heart and ran out without even putting on her cloak in time.
In desperation, Xu Ziqiao could only keep up, and was about to remind Lin Huiru when a snowball hit her forehead firmly, "Oh, I didn't expect to throw it so accurately." "Stop making trouble, come here
first Put on your clothes before playing, or you will catch a cold when you come back, and the north is no warmer than the south." Xu Ziqiao opened the cloak and shook, signaling Lin Huiru to come over.
After putting on the cloak, the whole body became warm immediately. Lin Huiru hugged Xu Ziqiao's arm coquettishly, "The south is not warm at all. This journey almost froze me out. Everyone says the south is warm." It's like spring, I don't think so."
"Everyone has their own opinions, and it's hard to guarantee that they will be the same." Xu Ziqiao gently wiped off the snow on his forehead, looked at Lin Huiru who was nestled in his arms, and felt that the years were peaceful.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Now that the snow has stopped, there is still a while before dinner, or let's build a snowman." "
Snowman?" In Xu Ziqiao's mind, there is no snowman yet.
"Just like this." Lin Huiru thought for a while, pinched two snowballs and stacked them together, and drew eyes and a mouth, "Although he is a bit ugly, do you think he looks like a human being? We can make it bigger, otherwise It's a pity that the snow is so thick today."
"Snow heralds a good year, so you don't have to worry about farming in the coming year, come on, tell me what to do." Xu Ziqiao stepped into the snow, acting like a child with Lin Huiru With snow piled up, he was completely different from the stern and selfless prime minister in the hall.
Chapter 382 Hot Pot
"Ma'am, what should I do with the things I bought?" Bai Shu came over counting the time, and it happened that Lin Huiru was playing with the snow.
Although it was cold, when Lin Huiru rolled out of the half-person-high snowball, she blushed and was panting and sweated a lot, "Wash the green vegetables, cut radish, eggplant, lotus root, potato and winter melon into half finger pulps." Thick slices, other meat should also be cut into thin slices, preferably as thin as paper, just chop the shrimp into puree and make balls." "Okay, it's cold in the
snow, ma'am, you still have to keep warm." After finishing speaking, Bai Shu didn't bother the two of them anymore, turned around and went to the kitchen to spread the message.
But cutting meat as thin as paper is hard for the sole cook.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Bai Qianyi was familiar with the big prime minister's mansion, and when he was walking around, he noticed the embarrassing faces in the kitchen.
"Madam wants us to slice the meat, but as long as the paper is thick...it's really difficult." Seeing that Bai Qianyi's thoughts were still a little messy, Bai Shu turned his head and said.
After hearing this, Bai Qianyi stepped forward, sharpened the blade and signaled the cook to get out of the way, and personally demonstrated what it means to cut meat rolls with bare hands, but everyone present was stunned.
When it was completely dark, heavy snow fell from the sky again. Lin Huiru divided two pots, one for the servant, and one for the four of them.
Taking care of Xu Ziqiao who can't eat too spicy, she also prepared a mandarin duck pot. When the bottom of the pot boiled, the room was full of aroma, which made people swallow.
She adjusted the dipping ingredients herself, passed them to people one by one, and then went down a large plate of meat, "When the water boils again, you can take out the meat and eat it." "These dishes are the same, you want to eat?
" You can add whatever you eat, and the dishes you eat like this will have a special flavor." After speaking, Lin Huiru couldn't hold back the glutton in her stomach, and was the first to move her chopsticks.
After adding some to Xu Ziqiao, she savored the hot pot by herself.
Bai Shu and Bai Qianyi were suspicious at first, but after trying it, they couldn't stop.
Lin Huiru's preparations are complete, and there is no shortage of yellow-throated duck intestines, pig brains, hairy belly, but she feels a little regretful that some synthetic meatballs are missing.
If you are full of wine and food, then look at the snow scene, I am afraid that there is nothing happier than this in the world.
After clearing up the mess, Bai Shu saw that Bai Qianyi had disappeared. She went out to search around, and even forgot to bring her umbrella, so a lot of snowflakes accumulated on her body.
"What are you looking for?" At the right time, Bai Qianyi appeared behind her, which was a bit scary on this moonless snowy night.
Bai Shu patted his chest, turned around and nodded, "Yes, I heard you were looking for your sister?" "Well, yes,
I have been separated from my sister since I was a child because of family affairs, and now my sister should be my only relative. I just wanted to find her to see if she was doing well." Bai Qianyi led Bai Shu to the corridor, shaking the snow off his body.
This experience...is like myself.
Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, when he was on the table just now, Bai Qianyi helped her pick up a piece of yam.
"Your sister, do you also like to eat yam?" Bai Shu asked with a muffled voice.
"I liked it when I was young. I wonder if her taste has changed now. What's wrong?" Bai Qianyi said calmly.
Listening, Bai Shu covered her mouth, "Then your sister, did you separate from you when you were eight years old, because the family was charged with unwarranted charges by the government and ransacked the house? Hide it well, and attract people to leave by yourself."
"You..." Bai Qianyi's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Bai Shu in disbelief.
Although he did see the shadow of his own sister when he saw Bai Shu for the first time, and even the name matched the others very well, but he didn't even have the courage to ask if Bai Shu didn't say anything.
"Brother..." Bai Shu took out a jade pendant from his bosom, "Look at this, do you recognize it?"
"Of course I know it. My father gave it to me when I was a child. You wanted it all the time when you saw it, but you were scolded by your father. Later, I hid you and gave it to you to make it easier to find you in the future." Bai Bai Tears welled up in Qianyi's eyes, and after looking at each other affectionately, the brother and sister hugged each other.
"Brother, do you know that I was looking for you very hard. Then I met Ren Yazi, and I was always homeless. It was not until I met my wife in the capital that there was a little light in my life." " Bai Shu buried her face in Bai Qianyi's arms, sobbing softly.
Although Bai Qianyi usually looks indifferent, but at this time, the sister he has been looking for for many years is in his arms telling him how hard it is to be without him. This is probably the most difficult thing for any brother in the world. are unacceptable.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer." Bai Qianyi lowered his head and hugged his younger sister even tighter. This incident is really too much of a coincidence. He originally wanted to use Lin Huiru's relationship to find his sister for him, but he never thought that the sister he had worked so hard to find was here with Lin Huiru , and even received the favor of Lin Huiru.
The fate of this kind of thing is really wonderful, and Bai Qianyi has not yet recovered from the shock in his heart. At this time, he does not know whether he is in favor of Lin Huiru or Lin Huiru is in favor of him.
"Brother, let's never be separated again, okay?" Although Bai Shu was calm and confident on weekdays, she didn't know that it was because of the loss of her brother that she had to cheer up alone.
"Okay, I will stay with you in the capital in the future, and I won't go anywhere." Bai Qianyi knew that they couldn't go anywhere without here, so they might as well stay and work for Lin Huiru.
...
In the middle of the night after the snowy night, there was a strong wind, and there was only one light on in the Prince Xiang's Mansion, and it looked very lonely alone.
"How is it? The person has been found?" Tang Junyi warmed a pot of unknown wine in front of him, and was looking at the snowy scenery outside with the window open. The candle lights flickered in the wind, adding to his loneliness.
"It's safe and sound, it seems to be a little thinner." Yufeng looked at his master's depressed appearance, and couldn't bear it, "Your Highness, it's windy at night, you should close the windows." "Hot wine to warm up, it's just a little wind.
" , The snow is so beautiful tonight, how can I miss it." Tang Junyi said, poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down, "Wan Qixuan." "The road can't be blocked, so I went back to the Three
Gorges Guan, he threatened Xu Ziqiao to destroy the evidence on the condition of Mrs. Lin before, and he is probably busy killing people to silence her." Yufeng replied truthfully.
"It's really useless. It's good to have a copy of the evidence, but he still doesn't know what to do at this time. No wonder he has become a waste, and the mud can't support the wall." Tang Junyi laughed mockingly, He picked up the jug directly and drank it to his mouth.
"Your Highness, I still don't know who is behind him, should I continue to investigate?" Yufeng asked with a frown.
Chapter 383 Harmony
"What do you check? I can't run away from those people. There is no need. They are about to die. What are you doing for him?" Tang Junyi said with a little anger in his tone. He put down the flagon heavily, and said softly Humming an unknown song.
Yufeng could see that Tang Junyi was in a bad mood, so he changed his mind and brought up another matter, "The one who brought Mrs. Lin back was called Bai Qianyi, and he seemed to be the son of a well-known gangster. Coincidentally, he actually He is also the elder brother of Mrs. Lin's personal maid."
"I am not interested in this kind of thing. Could it be that you are climbing the wall just to see what the parents say?" Tang Junyi sarcastically said.
This remark made Yufeng choke hard. It was Tang Junyi who sent his people there, even if he thought it was a small matter, but just looking outside, how much news can we get? "Your Highness, I am afraid we will no longer be able to monitor the prime
minister The house is gone." Yufeng struggled for a long time before telling the news.
Tang Junyi frowned, "Why?"
"That Bai Qianyi is very powerful, he has already noticed the existence of our people, if we track it down and tell Xu Ziqiao, I'm afraid it will tear his face." Yufeng reminded, after all, Xu Ziqiao is a A man of integrity.
This kind of thing made Tang Junyi annoyed when he heard it. The wine in the flagon didn't know when it was empty. He waved his hands and stood up, a little drunk, "If you don't look, don't look. If you don't see it, don't worry. That's fine. , you should go to bed earlier this morning too."
...
After returning to her home, the first thing Lin Huiru did was to stockpile food.
She dragged all the meat out of the ice cellar, and made it into bacon or dried meat and sausages in one go.
A prime minister's mansion, on the surface, is beautiful, but behind the scenes there are several racks hanging meat to dry. If I tell it, no one will believe it.
"What?! You actually sent the evidence there and destroyed it?" Lin Huiru was shocked when she heard the news that Xu Ziqiao had handed over the evidence.
"There is no way for him to threaten me with you. Of course you are the most important thing compared to those evidences. What's more, His Majesty has not realized this matter for me. At worst, I will find relevant personnel to collect evidence again." Xu Ziqiao sipped his tea. , looking very calm.
Lin Huiru felt a little pain in her little heart, what is he doing? If I had been more careful, I believe I would not have been taken away, and I would have experienced so many things afterwards. If she had been more careful, Xu Ziqiao would not have been ridden on the head by Wan Chengxuan for several days without any evidence, "I'm sorry, I'm all to blame for this matter. Actually, I really didn't expect him to If I dare to do this, I will lose consciousness as soon as I drink a cup of tea. The most frustrating thing for a woman is that those meals have not been tampered with, but that cup of tea made me underestimate the enemy." "Don't apologize,
this It's not your fault. It should be because I didn't protect you well. At that time, you shouldn't be allowed to have contact with people like him. Fortunately, you have nothing to do, otherwise I will let him I know the consequences and fate of doing such a thing." Xu Ziqiao touched Lin Huiru's head, and said in a heavy tone, "Then why didn't you leave me any clues on the way to the south?" "I
also I thought about it, but they didn't know why they gave it to me, or would they give me a little rice porridge and then give me that medicine every time I became a little conscious, it probably lasted for a month or so. Presumably they were very busy on the road, and when I delivered it, I felt my head was in a mess." Lin Huiru pouted, and he couldn't even think about the experience during that time. She didn't eat much, she was skinny and skinny, "You see, don't I still feel thin now? But when he took me away, I didn't have a problem with eating well for a month, but I became even thinner. Even if they sell me to a brothel, they won't let me pick up customers."
Xu Ziqiao was even more furious when he mentioned this matter, he didn't think that Wan Chengxuan would be so despicable, if he caught someone, he would just lock him up and threaten Forget it, he still dared to send Lin Huiru to such a dusty place. If something happened to Lin Huiru, he might not be able to pay for it with his life. hurt?"
"That's not good. I was smart and didn't confront them. I just negotiated terms with them and helped him cover some things in the store, which increased his income a lot and temporarily stabilized his position. , Later, when they wanted to do something to me, I was brought out by Bai Qianyi. Then again, I am not angry now. If the evidence is lost, it will be difficult to move Wan Qixuan It's even more difficult."
"I was just kidding you, how could I have given her the real evidence? The one that was given to him and destroyed was false evidence. I sent someone to imitate the handwriting. He must have given it to her." I can't see it, now I have handed over the city to Shengshang, and after the secret verification, I will send someone to arrest and bring it to justice." Xu Ziqiao let out a sigh of relief, long before these things happened. Keeping an eye out, he must at least keep a bargaining chip that can protect Lin Huiru. Wan Qixuan thought that if he caught Lin Huiru, he would be able to make him do what he said, but he was naive.
Hearing what Xu Ziqiao said, Lin Huiru's eyes lit up, "You must have learned badly by now, and you would lie to me about this kind of thing, which made me worry for a long time." "I just wanted to tease you
. The results of the search will have to wait for a few days, after all, many things are carried out in secret and cannot be revealed in the open." Xu Ziqiao touched Lin Huiru's hand, and he couldn't help but wait for that day.
"I know, after all, he has soldiers and horses. If he is forced to jump over the wall at this time, the consequences may be more serious. As long as he is captured secretly, at least the people can be protected from the war, am I right? "At first, Lin Huiru thought that the officialdom was very hypocritical and obscure, but now that this kind of thing happened to him, he was able to analyze it clearly and logically. It was thanks to Xu Ziqiao who was here so that she could be fascinated by it.
Xu Ziqiao nodded. Lin Huiru understood things quickly, and he already knew about it, "Yes, your intelligence is far from being matched by others. Now we just need to wait and interrogate him when the time comes." It will inevitably lead to me getting hurt. All kinds of silence will add up, and it will definitely not make him feel better." "
Of course this kind of person can't be let go. He even hits women. It's such a despicable method. If he is allowed to continue to enjoy himself in the world, Wouldn't it be a disaster for the people of the world?" Lin Huiru said indignantly.
"But there is one thing that I can't figure out. When I tried every means to make it software, it could still send messages through someone else, and that person should also be deeply rooted in the capital, but I don't know who it is. There is even no way to find out." This is also Xu Ziqiao's biggest headache, because he doesn't know who it is, and there is an extra threat in the dark.
Chapter 384: Heavy Snow
"At least those who are willing to intervene in this kind of thing must be big shots. We'd better not be too radical. It's hard to guard against an attack in the open. I'm fine, but I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you." Lin Huiru played with her own Nails, eyes lost in thought.
Right now, King Xiang has been helping them, helping Xu Ziqiao to make better use of them.
In this way, King Xiang was ruled out, but who could be so decisive in doing things except King Xiang.
"The strange thing is that I have checked so many Wanqixuans, but I haven't fixed any clues about that person. The hiding is not so deep. The so many troops in the south should not only be able to support Wanqi's family. The people behind must have some wealth and power, and they must have a foothold in the court, and their status will definitely not be lower than the first rank, but there are very few officials above the first rank, and most of them are from King Xiang , It's really confusing." The so-called weeds need to be eradicated, the wild fire can't be blown out, and the spring breeze blows life. If he wants to get rid of Mo Quxuan, he must grasp the person behind the curve and find out who it is Although it can't be destroyed in one fell swoop, at least there will be a way in the future, but that person seems to have lost this chess piece indifferently, except for helping him to pass the letter twice, he has never shown any flaws .
You know, even though Wanqi's house is a bit remote, its value is not so high, so it's quite courageous to throw it away as soon as you say it.
When the weather is cold, people are lazy. Lin Huiru felt drowsy after thinking about it, "Forget it, since he is beaten and dare not make a sound, he must still hide himself for a while, why should we chase after him?" Why is he clinging to it? Anyway, there are still things to do right now. There are a lot of things to deal with to save one trouble. It will not be too late to deal with it at that time." "Xiao Ru, you are right, it will be snowing
tomorrow , is there anything you want to eat?" Xu Ziqiao reached out to hug Lin Huiru these days, and he could feel that he had lost a lot of weight. Every time he saw Lin Huiru, his heart was full of distress, so In the past few days, I have been asking Lin Huiru what to eat besides what to eat, and I just want to support her body as soon as possible.
Lin Huiru couldn't laugh or cry when she was asked, "I really don't have anything to eat. You have to ask me four or five times a day, but on the day of college, shouldn't it be reasonable to eat dumplings? Our tradition is I eat dumplings on big festivals, and I also eat dumplings on small festivals. Thinking about it, I haven't eaten dumplings since I came back." "
Okay, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat, I will tell them to do it." Xu Ziqiao sat down again, stretched I squeezed Lin Huiru's face with my hand, and it didn't feel as good as before.
"This...can't we wrap it ourselves? Pork and cabbage stuffing is the best, and it's even better if you wrap it yourself." Lin Huiru held her chin and swallowed. ââHearing what she said, Xu Ziqiao nodded
, "Okay, I think I've never made dumplings with you before.
"
Shocking news.
Xiang Fei had a miscarriage.
Lin Huiru was taken aback, but she forgot about it. A few days before she was taken away, Concubine Xiang told her about it.
"It's just trivial matters, let's go down." Xu Ziqiao waved his hand, originally thinking it was something important, but now that he was asked, he immediately disdainful.
"But... the perfume sold in the wife's shop was found in the Xiangfei Palace. The imperial doctor said that there is a very strong musk in the perfume. I'm afraid..." The servant was a little worried.
Things that you don't want to come still come.
"It's not good, it's not good, there is an urgent call from the palace, and the madam is ordered to enter the palace immediately for questioning." The young man came in a hurry, and even the sound of orderly steps outside could be vaguely heard.
Xu Ziqiao suddenly frowned, and Lin Huiru also looked bewildered.
Didn't Xiangfei want that child? How could it be possible that she didn't even know that the most basic fragrance cannot be used, and the musk content of her perfume is definitely not as high as those of ancient times.
And the fragrance is the biggest pain point of Concubine Xiang, how could it be possible to expose it just to read her a book, drag her into it, and in the end it was just a warning.
But it doesn't rule out the possibility that a bigger trap is waiting for her.
After all, she just came back, so it happened by such a coincidence, and according to some gossip, Concubine Xiang has always been displeased with King Xiang, and she even has Queen and King Jin.
"How could it be related to you, don't worry, I'll go to the palace to explain to His Majesty right away." Xu Ziqiao tensed up, he didn't want Lin Huiru to have anything to do with the messy methods in the harem.
"Don't worry, it's okay. If you are in a hurry to go at this time, there must be more misunderstandings. If there is no need, there is no need. Wait, I will be back soon." Lin Huiru hugged Xu Ziqiao to show comfort , and then lifted the skirt and stepped out.
Sitting in the carriage entering the palace, her mood was also in a mess.
Although she kept telling Xu Ziqiao that she would be fine, she was not so sure. If Concubine Xiang was ordered to drag her into the water, what was waiting for her in the palace might be a serial scheme.
Still have to be careful.
After entering the palace, Lin Huiru was taken directly to the queen's palace. It was the first time she saw the queen, but the scene was so serious that she couldn't even raise her head. Thousands of years."
The queen nodded, her face expressionless, after all, Xiangfei has no child, in this kind of scene, even if she is happy, she can't do it, "Excuse me." "Thank you,
empress." Lin Huiru said After finishing, she stood up in the posture of Fushen, which she always felt was more tiring than kneeling.
"Concubine Xiang was pregnant with a child, but she didn't know it for a long time. This sudden miscarriage has aroused great attention from His Majesty. After sending the imperial doctor to investigate, the perfume you sell is especially musk that will affect fetal gas. This is Even if the dose is not pregnant, long-term exposure will cause infertility, do you know?" The queen's voice was extremely low.
Lin Huiru pondered, "I don't know which one is the same. The amount of musk contained in all my perfumes is definitely lower than other balms and powders. Just look at it like this. The bottle asserts that the musk content in the perfume I sell is too much, which may be unfair, and all the perfumes sold are still in stock, so you might as well ask the imperial physician to check them one by one before you can make a conclusion." The more Lin Huiru thought about it, the more she
felt Strange, if Concubine Xiang wants to be wronged, then this matter is unlikely.
Chapter 385
After all, even if Concubine Xiang wants to beat him up, but the evidence in his hand is much more than that in Concubine Xiang's hands, and just revealing a piece of evidence can make Concubine Xiang completely down and lose her power .
Unless someone made a condition that he must jump over the wall in a hurry, why would he do such a thing that took a lot of effort but couldn't help her in the slightest?
"What you said is correct, but according to what Xiangfei said, she bought it from you with her own hands, and it didn't pass through anyone's hands on the way. It turned out that there was too much musk added. But it can be completely denied. Is there a problem with the measurement?" It's not stupid for the empress to be able to sit in the sixth house. He doesn't like Concubine Xiang in this matter, and he doesn't have much affection for Lin Hui, so it's extraordinarily neat to deal with, a little bit of a problem We have to get to the bottom of it and calculate it.
"I would also like to ask the empress to give you a lesson. Although I personally sent this perfume, it is also because of her noble status that she cannot leave the palace casually, so I ran errands to deliver it for her personally. If it is only because of this point, it can be concluded that this Don't you think it's too hasty if I made a move?" Lin Huiru frowned, in fact, if this matter is investigated, it may be a nonsensical case, and there are two things about it. One point, the clue can be found from Xiangfei, and the second point is her breakthrough here.
At this time, Lin Huiru suddenly felt that things were a little tricky.
Not to mention that the empress is the biological mother of His Royal Highness King Jin, they did not help King Jin. So for the Queen, the threat to her status is no less than the danger of Xiangfei giving her status. Her notarization of this matter is also for the sake of looking good, but more of it is a show, and she wants to let the emperor see her do it all.
It can even be said that if Lin Huiru's overthrow is compared with overthrowing Xiangfei at this time, the queen may be more inclined to overthrow Lin Huiru directly.
After all, for the empress, even Xiangfei, how can she make a fuss now, she is already a useless person, if one child is lost, the next child will inevitably be difficult to conceive.
In this way, even if Concubine Xiang has recuperated her body in the end, this year's Majesty is in her early thirties, and when her son grows up, he may be forty or fifty than he is now. At that time, his competitiveness can be regarded as very little. , and will soon be bullied by a group of brothers so that he can't hold his head up.
But Lin Huiru is different. On the surface, Lin Huiru does not have a team now, but behind his back, he and Xiangxiang are on a piece-by-piece basis. There should be a few people who copied it and realized this problem.
For the Queen, they are the biggest enemies. After all, her son will also participate in the seizure of the heir, but they are helping other people, so it is impossible for the Queen to speak for her at this time. She sorts it out slowly by herself.
"What you said is also reasonable, but after all, you opened this shop, and this time the matter is not small, so we must carefully and accurately investigate and sanction it, so that His Majesty is the most taboo right now, to achieve results without permission." Adding a certain content will cause harm to the body." What the queen said was a serious statement.
Right now, no matter what Lin Huiru says, it is impossible to get rid of the crime. If he said that he was really going to be switched halfway, then how did this person start to investigate is also a problem, and how to prove that she herself is another problem ?
Now the perfume in the shop can no longer be used as a basic sample, otherwise, the whole thing can be understood as she prepared it a long time ago, and then sent it to Xiangfei when she needed the fragrance.
Right now, there is nothing that can be accused of her crime, but there is nothing that can make her clear.
Therefore, for the queen, Lin Huiru and Xiangfei, no matter whether the old and capable person returns her, they can save her a lot of effort.
...
Lamps and candles are flickering, the room is quiet, the lights are exploding, the dark lacquer eyes are revived like stinging insects, the finger-tapped table shakes the candles to tears, and the eyelids are slightly lifted to catch people's complexion.
"Father was too careless, and let that trash catch him."
This remark provoked Mu Fengtai to throw the teacup on the table, jingle the bell, and the deliberately low voice made people's anger sound attenuated. He lowered his eyes to see the splashing tea winding on the table, and couldn't bear to hear it. Slightly distracted, but when he heard the sentence "Your appearance is no better than Bai Chen", he couldn't help frowning slightly, his complexion also darkened, and he didn't want to listen more, so he cut off the conversation.
"Tomorrow my son is going to try out the mu family's legitimate son. Father has been keeping a low profile recently." Shi Li withdrew, and Mu Yuese went back to his room.
The next day, Mu Fengtai went to explain the business to Mu Feng, but he saw Mu Tiancheng drinking in the pavilion, he paused for a while, it would be better to take the initiative to attack instead of talking, thinking about this, he turned to the pavilion, chuckled ask people.
"Cousin, yesterday my father went to Wanbaolou to choose a birthday gift for my uncle, and said he saw you, what? There are still two or three months left, and you all secretly prepared the gift?" Mu Tiancheng was depressed and scratched his earlobe with his left hand unintentionally
. , faintly saw a few bloodstains, heard the sound and looked up, suddenly knocked down the cup, shattered at the foot of the person coming. There was a moment of apology in his eyes, and he suddenly recalled what happened yesterday. He quickly scratched his eyes, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his boots. Is it possible that brother is also a father and son with the same heart." Complaining against others and mocking the elders in the face is really wrong, only seeing the similar eyebrows and mentioning the wrong thing before throwing a slap in the face, remorse immediately after ridiculing, but he felt embarrassed, so he put his elbow on the stone The table looked around, and pinched the bloodshot earlobe tightly again when he was at a loss.
As soon as Mu Tiancheng uttered his words, he saw someone caressing the teacup in shock, retreating to dodge the shattered porcelain, secretly thinking that after hearing this, he twirled his left hand and stretched his fingers but only held back his smile, and the teacup was thrown all over. Offend, show a little displeasure at the right time, listen to his doubts about the assassination, and think that his father is acting impatiently, and then think about this son who likes to play all day, so he will inevitably stumble with others. , so he pretended not to understand, "Cousin, why are you venting your anger with a cup? My father also said yesterday that he saw you in a hurry and didn't have time to call you. Between uncles and nephews, it seems like a deep hatred when you say it. What kind of sword are you talking about..." At this point, his voice faded away, his smile disappeared, his eyes were heavy and he pinched his wrists, his brows were concerned and anxious, and then he opened his mouth and lowered his voice deliberately, with a little concern but a chaotic eagerness.
Chapter 386
"My cousin's words are not a joke? You know my father. He spends most of his days writing prescriptions and dialing abacus. It's just a birthday gift. Why do you need to go to the point of using a knife on your nephew? I'm afraid it's another matter." There is something strange. Think about it carefully. When you went out for a trip a few days ago, did you offend any young people? What did the assassin say? What clothes did you wear? Do you know who you are? Did anyone witness it? Did you help? Tell me first, it's just that this is a big matter, and you need to explain it to your uncle with me later, so that you can take precautions." With sincerity, he hinted that he would link the assassination with grievances in Jianghu, and then throw I asked whether it was true or false, and finally he hinted that the uncle must blame someone for causing the incident. It is better to scare people, and to muddy things if you can't. The so-called muddy water is easy to fish in. In chaos, Also good aftermath.
Mu Fengtai's willow-leaf eyes narrowed slightly, his eyelashes and feathers staggered to cover up the doubts in his eyes, "Cousin doesn't believe me!" The rest of the sentence was about to excuse my uncle, but he choked on his caring words and only let out a cold snort Expressed his position, "Uncle even hides his own son, so what is my nephew." I don't like to touch people's skin. After the arrangement, I just pressed my toes down and kicked the debris under my feet. "Cousin, please sit down. I dropped the cup by mistake just now. I'll ask someone to bring two more pairs." While speaking, I raised my eyes to look at him again, and my eyes half greeted the warm glow of the noon sun, shining brightly like amber. Glory, sincere expectations are full of promises, "Cousin, I believe in you, you have worked hard since you were a child, otherwise my father would not let you come to the school to manage." Slightly tilting his head and loosening his shoulders, "In the future, there will be two Elder brother is in front, so I can have a good time."
Seeing his expression change, Mu Tiancheng only said that Mu Fengtai was not a good person, but he didn't let him relax, caught the slightest bit of people's words, accepted everything without distinguishing the truth from the false, and left it to others. Then pick and choose, sit down one by one, don't care about people's indifference, look at Shi Shiran's appearance, frown displeased, "Is there still time for tea? Although I don't see my father very often, it's considered that I live under the same roof. People who act like this, this matter will cost your life on the one hand, and alienate the Bai family on the other hand. You should stay at home in the near future, and my eldest brother and I will find out. In the end, he couldn't bear to be frightened, so he let out a short sigh and expressed relief,
" You don't have to worry too much, my eldest brother and I will definitely not let you have an accident. "
Mu Tiancheng looked sideways at the person's shining eyes, with melancholy like clouds, which caused people's half-sunned eyes to disperse. He listened to the people's words, and he shook his head helplessly, laughing and berating people. After this time, he can still talk and laugh happily , and earnestly, earnestly. "You are young now, it's not bad to see the world outside, but as a child of the Bai family, there is no place for you to be lazy. You should also shoulder the burden that should be carried by you. It is difficult to support each other. Brothers help each other for a hundred years." The righteous path that never fades."
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are something I can avoid when I get busy." After all, the murderous aura for the first time that day scared half of the soul for a while, and the fan that usually hangs in front of the bed can't close your eyes unless you hold it , Mu Fengtai said, "Find out what, there is a god catcher in this Jianghuai area who pretends to be famous, and I went into the Wanbao Building like a brawler and bought a hairpin." He bared his teeth slyly, the canine on the left pointed The tip pressed against his lower lip, "If something happens to me suddenly, will he be okay? There is no silver three hundred taels here. My cousin will protect me, a mud bodhisattva, in the future."
Mu Tiancheng painstakingly cursed his spine Yimao couldn't sit still, "Stop nagging, my brothers help each other out, and I help each other out. According to my temper, the reputation of the Bai family's property is not bad." Paralyzed, playing a rascal, "I'm so tired."
Seeing that he was sure that Mu Fengtai would not listen to what he said, he no longer forced to write, lest the picking would not be clean, and the suspicion would be confirmed. Zuo didn't understand and promised, "I will definitely protect you."
He twitched his fingers and raised his eyes to glance at the man's slender neck and fall on the man's face. Seeing the sly smile, he felt that it might be a good idea to keep doing one thing at a time. It seems that committing a crime against the wind is easy to remove the suspicion, but it's just that the soldier's dangerous move, and he is not very sure of self-protection, is really the next choice, just think about it. I also saw people pretending to be foolish, and my heart was so different, so strong but not resentful, this thought just passed by in a flash. It made people feel helpless, shaking their heads and chuckling, pointing people, "You, you, you should also learn from my uncle with me. You look like this, no wonder your uncle slapped you. Don't say anything, I'm going to report to my uncle , since you are relieved, I will not be too wordy, even if something happens, my elder brother and I will protect you." Yan Jin suppressed his smile, stood up and patted the person's shoulder to comfort him, said goodbye and left.
Looking at the back of Mu Fengtai, Mu Tiancheng sneered.
It's just a collateral family, so eager to show his face, the obvious meaning can't be more obvious.
Mu Chenyu had been hiding nearby for a long time, and only dared to pretend to pass by after eavesdropping for a long time. She can't intervene in the competition for status among men, but she can intervene in other matters.
For example, the matter of Xiangfei.
"Brother, why is he here alone?" Mu Chenyu walked over quickly with his hands behind his back.
Mu Tiancheng glanced at her, took a sip of the wine, and felt a little relieved in his heart, "It's nothing, it's cold, drink some wine to warm up, how about you?" "I want to go to my father's place
, By the way, there is something, I don't know if you know about it, big brother." As he spoke, Mu Chenyu pretended to be mysterious, looked left and right to confirm that there was no one before lowering his voice, "That empress in the palace who smells so good suddenly He had a miscarriage, and during this period he kept concealing useful news about him, probably because he wanted to run the child away, but he didn't know who caused the miscarriage this time, and the main problem was her, Lin Huiru. For the perfume they sell, everyone has already been called into the palace."
"There is such a thing?" Mu Tiancheng was surprised, but suddenly felt a little satisfied in his heart. During this period of time, he wished Lin Huiru Just dying outside, Xu Ziqiao was so devastated, but things always didn't go as expected. Not only is Lin Huiru back, but I heard that the palace is still drawing up a decree for her.
Just when he wanted to do such a little trick in secret, his sister ran over to tell him such a big piece of news, with Concubine Xiang here, how could it be possible to easily spare Lin Huiru? You must know that this Xiangfei is the biggest thorn in the kilometers, and even if she offends the queen, she can't offend Xiangfei. With that kind of unrelenting temperament, it's better to be someone else. She has a strange fragrance that can attract the emperor, and now she is pregnant with a child, and she is four months old at this time, and she is still a boy.
In order to comfort Concubine Xiang, Lin Huiru must be in bad luck.
"They deserve it. Their reputation is as high as the sky and their responsibility is as high as the sky. They don't even have to do anything to help us, hmph." Mu Tiancheng sneered, and at some point, the wine glass in his hand bottomed out.
Seeing that Mu Tiancheng was in a better mood, Mu Chenyu dared to ask what happened just now, "Just now I saw my cousin from my uncle's place coming, but what's the matter?"
Chapter 387 Fuck him
"It's nothing, I just came to show off my strength. Seeing my father's powerlessness and Ming Dynasty's sarcasm, my uncle is quite ambitious." Mu Tiancheng snorted lightly, no matter how strange Mu Fengtai's voice was. It's weird, they are the same as they are.
Right now, Prince Xiang is gaining momentum, if Erfang thinks that he can stabilize himself by relying on an unappointed prince, then he is really wrong.
"Who doesn't envy us? I just wronged you, brother, and now I have to let them. Maybe you have something that bothers you recently? I always feel that you have lost a lot of weight." Mu Chenyu pinched the veil, pretending asked.
Which man doesn't like this kind of sweet little girl, not to mention that Mu Tiancheng is still a lustful master. Seeing that the situation is in danger, Mu Feng is still in the mood to go to the flower house to drink and have fun.
But with this one son, Mu Feng couldn't do anything about it.
"Chen Yu, to tell you the truth, the big brother is under a lot of pressure, there are even bigger military ranks pressing down on me, and there are still a group of people who see that we are not good at provoking. This year is really aggrieved!" Mu Tiancheng Gritting his teeth, now he has to bow his head outside, who didn't follow behind his ass to flatter him before.
It's different now, and now everyone feels that the prime minister is about to fall, and Xu Ziqiao is what everyone expects.
"Hey, all these things in our family this year were caused by that Xu Ziqiao. If it wasn't for him... there wouldn't be so many things in the future. In the end, it's still because of the bad luck of the passing years." Mu Chenyu said melancholy, but his eyes were Steal a glance at Mu Tiancheng's expression.
These words immediately resonated with Mu Tiancheng, "Yes, if it weren't for that stinky boy, he, a countryman, would have to take care of the affairs in the capital." "Brother, don't worry, I heard something
recently What about the matter..." Mu Chenyu rolled his eyes, but the expression on Mu Tiancheng was harmless and couldn't be more harmless.
"What's the matter? Could it be related to that Xu Ziqiao?" Mu Tiancheng suddenly became interested, and asked with a bright light in his eyes.
Right now he can't do anything, he just hopes that someone will come and make Xu Ziqiao feel embarrassed. Such a wretched mentality is really disgusting.
But even so, now Mu Chenyu can't dislike him too much, he can only continue to put a smile on his face to get closer to Mu Tiancheng to please him.
"Yes, I also heard it from others. I heard that a few days ago, the eldest son of Wanqi's family took his wife away, and he threatened him to make Xu Ziqiao take a lot of Wanqi's family. The evidence is all gone, now that his wife is back, he must be more urgent to deal with this matter." Mu Chenyu said cautiously.
Mu Tiancheng listened thoughtfully, "Huh? There is such a thing, it seems that I haven't gone out for a long time, but the prince of Wancheng has run away, and the prince of a small fiefdom can't disturb it." If there is any big storm, but if Xu Ziqiao is deflated..."
Now Mu Tiancheng suddenly regained his energy and came up with a plan.
Some time ago, when Lin Huiru was not in the capital, the Qi family offended His Majesty because they were involved in an old case. Lord Qi Hou was also a tempered person, so he packed up his things and took his wife away, but Qi Zhengxi stayed behind. After the
meal, Qi Zhengxi was a bit concerned about the trivial rumors. Although there was still the matter of Lin Huiru's captivity the day before, it was even more solid to have an extra guard beside him who did not conceal his identity.
The traces on his body have diminished, and the swelling has healed. Others are so mean that he hasn't gone out for a few days.
Apart from talking about this matter, there is a lot of discussion about the murder case in the wilderness. The murderer is at large, people are panicked and even suspicious of each other, and there is no peace. This morning, I heard that a tiger was infesting again, but the guard was curious and decided to ask for it. He knew it was a joke, but when he saw that there was a man who didn't know what to do, it was a good opportunity, "Yunshan, you go catch it with me. How about being a hero again after killing that tiger in the mountains?"
Yun Shan paused, and rewrapped the paper bag he just opened, the mung bean cake is fragile, so don't take it away. Put it away carefully, and eat it when you come back.
It costs a lot to catch and feed tigers, and the Hou Mansion is now in decline. If the son dares to say this confidently, is there any other reliance? Make a note of this secretly, and inquire again when you come back.
In addition, it seems that this prince has been testing how far the so-called guards can do. what's the function? After all, he is just someone who works for others. Or rather, an eyeliner.
"I'll go with you." He responded briefly, while arranging some necessary items, torches, torches, kerosene, hunting knives, and ropes. Qi Zhengxi will not be killed, this is the bottom line.
Although it was to catch a tiger, it was a joke after all, Qi Zhengxi originally intended to go out for a walk, and at the same time test this person a little bit. He opened the box and picked up his fine clothes again, changed his long robe and elegant belt, his tall black hair is handsome and handsome, his black short shirt and black boots are handsome and handsome, just like the boy in the old days when he rode a horse on a safari.
He casually ordered two fast horses to come, kicked and turned over to ride, his hair flamboyant and flattened, but such trivial things caused a dull pain in his knees, after all he was not good at riding and shooting, so he frowned and suppressed for a moment, then turned to look at each other from above , "Are you just accompanying? If something happens to me, it will be difficult for you. I want to see how you can do it." "
I am ordered to protect your safety." Yun Shan repeated the order at that time, turning his head to look at this The two fast horses were shiny and energetic. Although the Hou Mansion was in decline, it was far from being in distress. Should have known.
He patted the horse's back and hung up the prepared items one by one. The poor horse was about to run too fast. He got on his horse and was speechless all the way. Further on was the hilltop where there were rumors in the market that tigers were hurting people, but they didn't make much noise.
Yun Shan got off his horse to check whether the torch was normal. After all, he was not a professional hunter. It would be safer to use fire to scare wild animals when necessary. As for scorching the tiger skin? not considered.
The horse's hooves kept bumping all the way, and there were still people looking sideways when he went out, and the small rumors were extremely unpleasant, until the color below the mountain was pale and looking up at the white snow on the mountain, his breath was foggy, his lungs were cold, and his lungs were cold, very damp.
Yun Sheng didn't change his face, and everything was complete, Qi Zhengxi was troubled, this is a serious master, he met a woodcutter in a village, no one recognized his identity when he left the city, his words were free of rumors, his face was clear, Thank you for your good words and persuasion, and let the horse go. "The villagers said that the tiger is in this mountain..."
If they do meet, they don't know what to do.
"If you don't have the determination to kill the other party, you are more likely to be killed by the other party." Yun Sheng put his hands on the back of his neck, turned his head, and heard the sound of his neck bones cracking. I'm not in a position to fault anything, but the pillows seemed too low.
After the fire was lit, it radiated warmth in the cold weather, but in order to save money, Yunshan was quickly wiped out. "The experience of life-and-death struggle is the same for humans and animals. It is also too late to turn back now."
Chapter 388 Design a Bureau
"In your eyes, am I such a vulnerable person?" Qi Zhengxi sneered, and strode forward with his hands behind his back. This person was nothing more than a spy inserted by the royal family.
Because, it should be the old case.
That old case has been silent for many years, but now it has been flipped over by someone with a heart, and I don't know what is the plan.
Yun Shan didn't speak any more, just packed up his things and followed behind. He really wanted to see how capable this eldest son who was usually romantic could be.
His Majesty sent someone to his side as an eyeliner, fearing that the matter of the year would be brought up again. This is a point that everyone knows well, but will not expose.
...
in the palace.
"Empress, the heaven and the earth are clear, none of the things I sell have more than the usable content. There must be musk in things like perfume. Women also use things like powder and ointment on weekdays. Only pregnancy Sometimes I don't need it, the content of mine is even less than that, and I don't have any talcum powder, please let me know." Although Lin Huiru lowered her head, the firmness in her voice cannot be ignored.
She is now the prime minister's wife anyway, how could she lose her confidence in her words.
No matter who wants to make a shit pot for her, it's just a dream, she is not a soft persimmon to pinch.
"Of course I know, and this thing will pass through the hands of several people after it enters the palace. It may be deliberately plotted by someone. The thing has already been seen by the imperial physician. It is indeed mostly musk. Renhe Madam, you recruited for the purpose of properly handling this matter." The Queen is not a difficult person to get along with, she was already at odds with Concubine Xiang, but this matter was pushed in, she couldn't afford to offend the other right now.
After all, judging from the current situation, if Xiangfei wants to conceive a child to compete for favor, that is her son's enemy. But Lin Huiru is different.
Now the matter between Xu Ziqiao and King Xiang has not been brought up, and it will not come up for a while. If he can be supported by a well-known right minister, he will definitely do something great.
However, this may not be beneficial to Lin Huiru.
After all, Lin Huiru sold this thing to Concubine Xiang alone, and only Concubine Xiang's maid handled it.
"My servant has seen the empress, and I hope that the empress will be the master of my family. It is not easy for the empress to conceive the emperor's heir. After the first three months of hard work, this kind of thing happened. The empress was heartbroken. I have thought of committing suicide, and I hope the empress will investigate clearly." The maid named Xiaoqian was speaking so emotionally that she was about to shed tears.
Lin Huiru frowned, it was forced to be deducted from her.
"Be quiet first, but you are the only one who has touched this perfume?" the queen asked with a frown.
Xiaoqian nodded, "Yes, it was the maidservant who took it. From the beginning to the end, the maidservant took it for the concubine Xiangfei."
The queen frowned a little more after hearing this, could it be that something else happened in the middle What's wrong? "Mrs. Lin, did you deliver this perfume yourself? Or did it pass through someone else's hand on the way." "
I need to see which one it is." Lin Huiru glanced at the maid, and the group of people were anxious Putting a shit bowl on her made her suddenly realize something.
Originally, she and Concubine Xiang were in a check-and-balance relationship. She used Concubine Xiang's money to keep a secret, and Concubine Xiang bought her things, and it was very peaceful.
But now, although she didn't know what made Xiangfei so eager to join her, she vaguely realized that the long-term worker who ran away might have something to do with Xiangfei.
It's okay for her to think so.
Originally, she was a danger to Concubine Xiang, because it was not fragrant for him to hold Concubine Xiang in his hand, and this secret even had something that could threaten Concubine Xiang. Fragrance is the most important thing for Concubine Xiang, Lin Huiru's unique bottle of perfume here. But now Xiangfei has done such shameless things just to get to her class.
Then there are only two possibilities for this matter.
The first one is that the scent of Concubine Xiang has recovered, and she doesn't need him now, and wants to give her an initial value and then hurry up, but after all, it's just a past, and she didn't take such a big risk to do this thing at all. What's more, she is now different from the family of the third-rank official. She is now the wife of the first-rank prime minister. Involve yourself first, if you can't tell the truth, the risk is too great, not to mention that even if he is charged with the crime, he will not be guilty of death.
As far as she knew, he didn't have any business in Xiangfei's family that was blocked by him, so if the perfume was removed, another possible thing was to have some influence on Xu Ziqiao.
Thinking of Lin Huiru's refusal to enter here, she shuddered suddenly, and suddenly a more terrifying thought came to her mind. If this Concubine Xiang and that Wan Tuxuan were in the same group, then it is understandable why this action It would be so radical, but this child is gone, and Xiangfei loses a big enough backer, just to help someone who is not yet in power, it is very far-fetched.
The second type is that Concubine Xiang can have something else to replace her perfume, or she knows the secret of her perfume.
But all these perfumes come from the space quietly. Even if the proportion of ingredients can be stepped on, there is still a big gap between some modern cosmetics and future chemicals. It may be exactly the same if it is done perfectly. Of course, it is not professional to do this, it really is. There are capable people and strangers who are not sure, and if it is connected with the success of the one who ran away, she thinks this matter is a little bit interesting.
But even if these things are stacked together, they are not enough to seal his mouth permanently, and she can't come up with anything better for a while, and other ideas can only be speculated according to the latter.
Concubine Xiang is not benevolent, so we can't blame her for being difficult.
The stone girl who went to get the perfume after thinking wildly for a while also came back, but as soon as the bottle of perfume passed Lin Huiru's eyes, she realized something was wrong. The perfume she sold to Xiangfei in private was not this bottle, but this bottle Perfume is widely sold in the market, so this girl should have bought it from her shop. In this way, you can completely get rid of the direct relationship with her.
"I didn't give it out with my own hands. I only gave away one perfume with my own hands. I remember it clearly. This girl should have bought it from my shop, and it definitely wouldn't have passed through my hands." Lin Huiru said firmly.
Chapter 389 Treating the person in the same way
"What's more, even if I intend to murder someone, I will put this perfume there in a mixed manner, so that I can't even tell who can buy it. If it is bought by an innocent person and affects my reputation, my reputation will not be good. Does it stink too? This is the most taboo thing for business people." Lin Huiru said frankly.
Her words made the queen feel very reasonable. The suspicion of this matter was that Concubine Xiang wanted to blame her, but before the queen said anything, the maid stood up first.
"Madam Prime Minister, how can you say such irresponsible words? This perfume is something in your shop. How can there be more cameras in one bottle and less musk in one bottle, or are there basically problems with these perfumes on weekdays?" Xiaoqian's topic angle is a bit tricky, and the queen is also a person who uses Lin Huiru's things. Hearing Xiaoqian's words, she was shocked immediately.
Although she is past the age of childbearing, it is better for women to touch things like musk less often.
"This kind of thing will definitely not happen to us. For this bottle, I can guarantee that it is definitely not a problem in our shop. If necessary, I can open all the perfumes and provide them to the imperial doctor for inspection to see if every bottle The musk content contained in the perfume is only a tiny bit, and it is impossible to use so much." Lin Huiru said, thinking for a while, "What's more, even the child may know that after pregnancy You can't use any box, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens. Isn't the concubine Xiangfei always wearing a strange fragrance on her body? Why does she still use face powder to rub herself all day long?" The fire was immediately caught by
her Turning her head back to Concubine Xiang, the Queen's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this statement.
The queen is not the kind of person who will get caught up in some bugs, but the fragrance on Xiangfei's body is really evil. If you rely on this to seduce men, it will definitely be of some use, so he has been I don't think Xiangfei is a weird person, but I also feel that Xiangfei's fragrance is actually a sensationalist.
What's more, if even Xiangfei, who wears a strange fragrance, has to buy perfume, the first point is enough to prove that Xiangfei doesn't smell good, and she thinks about some crimes of deceiving the emperor. When thinking of the very likely woman who is simply a vixen, the Queen's mood improved a lot because of this.
"That's right, even Bengong felt strange about this matter. The fragrance on the body of Xiangwai's sister smells very good. Bengong is even ashamed to send those scented flowers. Why even Xiangfei wiped them off?" Perfume?" The queen raised her eyebrows and asked with narrowed eyes.
In fact, the queen who is more involved in this matter still wants to choose to believe Lin Huiru, but it is not because she wants to sell Lin Huiru to save face for her, but even objectively speaking, Xiangfei's series of practices are very strange very.
At this moment, Xiaoqian panicked, "This... Actually, the fragrance on the empress's body, even if you can't smell it, the empress, the empress Xiangfei can smell her own scent. Most of these women will be harmful when they are pregnant. The thing is, the empress is precisely because she feels uncomfortable when she smells the fragrance on her body when she is sick, so she wanted to use other smells to neutralize it, but she didn't expect to choose the most suitable one. This kind of thing happened after the perfume."
Lin Huiru had a sneer on her face, but she said in her heart to continue blowing, I want to see how long you can blow on.
"Actually, the problem with this matter is not the problem of my perfume, but why such a large dose of musk is suddenly added to this perfume. I said that all the things I sell will be tightly sealed after they are finished, no Maybe someone will open it halfway, and all these things are made and then divided into bottles. How can it be possible to add musk to a bottle alone, so as not to make the fragrance stronger." Lin Huiru said calmly.
"You're right. Musk is a very fragrant thing. Concubine Xiang has a strange fragrance. She may not be very good at playing with spices and other things on weekdays. She just thinks it smells good. The bottle of perfume I just bought I also smelled it, and the smell is indeed very refreshing, but now that I think about it, since Mrs. Lin tried to adjust the smell, why not invite Mrs. Lin to smell it and see if the smell will be different? What's the difference?" After finishing speaking, the empress waved her hand, signaling the servants to bring the bottle of perfume to Lin Huiru again.
As a result, Lin Huiru's doubts deepened in her heart. She didn't understand these things, but he could still distinguish the difference between good perfume and bad perfume. If there is any difference between the two scents, wouldn't it be too embarrassing.
"Then respect is worse than obedience." Lin Huiru put his hands together and saluted. In order to check whether there was something wrong with Lin Huiru's things, the queen even sent a few extra people to buy bracelets, perfumes and the like.
Lin Huiru unscrewed the caps of the two bottles of perfume one by one. There is actually a special tool for smelling the fragrance. If you put your nose directly on the mouth of the bottle, it will be too far away. It is also very likely to be able to get a radish, which will leave some traces of foundation on it.
This thing is not a troublesome thing, but a very thin one is not enough. If you stick a few small wooden sticks in the bottle for a long time, it can be used to emit a great fragrance.
Lin Huiru closed his eyes and sniffed them one by one. For a while, he couldn't find anything in his section, not to mention that although she did this, it was only a misunderstanding on the surface.
She can hardly say anything about this kind of thing, but after all, there are still some respectable people sitting there watching her intently, wanting to see if things can turn around.
Finally, after she sniffed it carefully several times, she realized that the one she had bought before was really a bit problematic in comparison.
But now there is no one to refer to. Lin Huiru couldn't be sure which one added more musk for a while, and he didn't understand this thing. Pain, but I didn't expect that there is only a slight difference, but the fragrance is indeed refreshing.
"Returning to the empress, I make a lot of my perfumes. It may be difficult for me to guess whether the book was bought from me based on the smell of a bottle, but I have no other intentions. I just want to explain that there is indeed a small difference in the taste of these two days, which should be the difference between musk and ordinary spices." Lin Huiru lowered her head and joined hands, feeling a little confused.
Chapter 390
"Madam Prime Minister, are you serious about what you said? It's all made in your shop, so why don't you know?" Xiaoqian gritted her teeth, implying that she had fallen for her.
Lin Huiru sneered, "I have a lot of things to deal with. Do you think I can't do it with a few bottles of perfume every day? It's either something that passes through my hands or something that doesn't pass through my hands, but the problem is my fault after all. In the shop, I adhere to the principle of not letting a single rat droppings spoil a pot of porridge, and I am alone in the burden of finding out."
She is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, no matter how a court lady can choke on her.
"Empress, most of the perfumes circulating in the capital come from my shop, and there are 800 of them before, which is much more expensive than the market price of incense powder. This quality is definitely what you pay for. This kind of thing has never happened before, and the reputation is always good, and I will not do things like smashing the signboard. Not long ago, there was an accident in my shop. Someone maliciously broke the roof, causing many The inventory could no longer be sold, so the store was closed for several days, which attracted a lot of people to be impatient, which is enough to prove the reputation." Lin Huiru paused again, "Of course, some people must think that this doesn't explain anything, but I The quality of the things in the shop has always been guaranteed, this time the accident happened to the empress, and the accident happened to my shop, if there is no connection, how can it be possible." After hearing Lin Huiru's words, the queen was slightly
shaken , He glanced at Xiaoqian, cleared his throat, "Madam is the richest businessman in the capital, so naturally she wouldn't do things like self-defeating for a little profit, even Bengong uses excellent From this point of view, there must be someone obstructing it."
"I also ask the empress to give my master justice. The imperial doctor said that it is a male fetus that has already formed!" Xiaoqian knelt down and frowned. Shout out grievances.
But the empress is annoyed by her quarrel, so what about the male child, who hasn't raised a son yet?
"Bold! When did the empress say she won't deal with this matter?" Well, I stood up immediately.
Xiaoqian shrank her neck from the yelling, and her expression was very dissatisfied.
Indeed, apart from the queen, the most favored one is the concubine Xiang. As the saying goes, a spoiled woman is the luckiest.
"Yeah, girl, why do you hear your tone, it seems that you have decided that I must be the one who obstructed it? If there is no evidence, I believe you are not so righteous, right?" Lin Huiru pondered , if it wasn't for someone's instructions behind her, how could she be so arrogant even if she was just a court lady, even if she was next to the favorite concubine.
The queen's face remained unchanged, and she already believed in her heart that it was Xiangfei who was obstructing it.
In fact, Lin Huiru has no reason to attack Xiangfei. Her status is higher than that of Xiangfei's mother's family, and there is no need to compete for favor. Xu Ziqiao is still young and cannot be involved in the harem battle.
On the contrary, Concubine Xiang has many reasons for wanting to do something to Lin Hui.
"The servant just said the wrong thing on the spur of the moment. I hoped that there would be a lot of madam and queen empress. The servant was just worried about his master." Xiaoqian lowered her head a little guilty.
Lin Huiru was very happy, she saw the queen's look of wanting to get angry but holding back, which made Lin Huiru seize the opportunity.
"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Is this the rule in the palace of the Fragrant Concubine? Is it possible that from now on, anyone who is for his master can maliciously speculate on others?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows, Every word Zhuji said what the queen was thinking.
The queen gave her an admiring look, and then took advantage of this step, "The people in Xiangfei Palace did not expect to be so unruly. The majestic wife of the prime minister is more valuable than Xiangfei no matter what her status is. It is indeed heartbreaking to have a child, but I don't believe that you can use this tone in front of the Holy Master when you say this today. Come here, open your mouth thirty, as a sign of punishment!" Now
Xiao Qian panicked and was caught When she was pulled away, she was still struggling, "The Empress! The Empress! This servant knows it's wrong, Madam, help this servant to beg for mercy!" "
What are you?" Although Lin Huiru never liked slavery, the facts proved that , some people are just guilty.
"Empress, this court lady is eager to get rid of the crime, maybe it has something to do with this matter. The empress has worked hard, if there is no way to find out, you can start with the people in the palace of the empress Xiangfei. This matter is of great importance. If the empress is worried about the people involved, I can also send them to the palace for interrogation." Lin Huiru's words were just, and it was exactly what the empress meant.
"I made you laugh today. Originally, it was not a big deal to find you. It is very clear in all. It is impossible for you to use these dirty methods because of these things, but you must give them an explanation. But now that maid has been sent out, why don't you just stay and have a cup of tea and talk." The queen's card of being a good person was played.
The person in front of me is the aloof mother of a country. This is what Lin Huiru can only agree to, "I understand, then respect is better than obedience. Thank you, Queen, for your hospitality." On this day
, The empress kept her in the palace almost at night. Although it was in the name of talking about herself, in fact, what she said was trying to get out of her mouth, as if she wanted to find out their details.
Back home, Lin Huiru was very tired.
But the new news surprised her even more.
"Today, Prince Qi went to the suburbs to hunt tigers, but he didn't come back until late at night, and he didn't even send back the letter. The prince's residence was in a hurry." Xu Ziqiao was also a little worried, after all, Qi Zhengxi had helped them a lot. .
Moreover, what happened in Pingyang Hou Mansion recently is also very strange.
"How did this happen? When will we leave? There is also a distance in the suburbs. It may be too late to come back. Don't worry, I have seen Qi Shizi's skills before, and it is not bad." Lin Huiru comforted.
Xu Ziqiao showed a little helplessness, "You haven't been in Beijing recently, and there are some things you don't know. The Pingyang Hou Mansion was involved in an old case that His Majesty cared about very much. The Marquis has always stood in the opposite position of His Majesty, so the birth of Qi Shizi adjusted the suspicion, but was beaten by Lord Hou, and the attack was not light. Besides, Qi Shizi can only do light work, and his boxing skills are not very good. When did you know that he is good at it?"
In this way, Lin Huiru did only see him perform lightness kung fu.
"I thought lightness kung fu and good kung fu would be enough, so did you send someone to look for it?" Lin Huiru was secretly anxious and asked hurriedly.
