The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 194 As a warning to others, the mastermind behind the scenes
Chapter 194 As a warning to others, the mastermind behind the scenes
In order to teach Yun Xi a lesson, Li Linglan didn't bring food to Yun Xi for several days, and only waited for Yun Xi to kneel down in front of her like a dog and beg her to accept those things after her drug addiction broke out.
Yun Xi went to the prison with Yun Shen, and took a look at the appearance of those people who were weaned off their medicine.
Even if they were punished, the burly men who still did not change their faces knelt on the ground, begging for food with tears streaming down their faces.Some hit the wall with their heads, leaving traces of blood on the wall.Some kept grabbing themselves, pulling out bloody wounds, and screaming pitifully.
"Is this the mandala you mentioned?"
Yun Xi turned her head, but saw Chu Xiyuan coming at a leisurely pace with a sullen face.
She bowed, and halfway through, Chu Xiyuan waved her to get up, "There's no need to be too polite."
As the emperor of a country, it is naturally impossible for his eyes to be limited to the three acres of land in front of him.He shuddered at the thought that if this kind of drug was rampant in Great Chu, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including him, would be controlled by this drug, it would undoubtedly shake the foundation of Great Chu.
Yun Xi saw what he was thinking, and continued to dose the medicine blindly, "If this medicine also flows into the world, I am afraid that there will be no more men in Dachu who can fight." She just needs to stop, Chu Xiyuan is not What a fool.
All the prisoners in the cells lost a lot of weight, their faces were ashen, and their combat effectiveness was far different than before.
Chu Xiyuan's eyes froze, and the aura belonging to the emperor was vividly displayed at this moment, which made people breathless, as if there was a big mountain on a person's chest.
Originally, he only planned to dig out the person behind the scenes and end Li Linglan's life with a piece of white silk. Now it seems that such a death is too cheap for her.
Many thoughts drifted by, and Chu Xiyuan's face quickly returned to his usual calm and calm, with a gentle tone, "You two should go back." Then he ordered his servants to reward Yun Xi with a bunch of things.
After all, many people knew about Yun Xi and Yun Shen's entry into the palace, and the matter of Mandala couldn't be exposed right away, so naturally they had to find other excuses to cover it up.This is cheaper for Yun Xi, what Chu Xiyuan collected is naturally a good thing.
Yun Xi and Yun Shen looked at each other, saluted, and walked out of the dungeon together.
She communicated with Yunshen by using the condensed voice to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, "Tell me, how will His Majesty punish the Li family?"
Yun Shen has a cold personality, except for those whom he holds dear, others are nothing but dust to him.His face was calm, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, coating him with a layer of golden light, like a body strolling down from the clouds, showing a careless aloofness, "I'm afraid I won't be able to escape by cutting all over the house. "
Yun Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Will Li Lingmei, her mother, and her brother be affected as well?"
"Since it is full of families, there are naturally no exceptions." Yun Shen was raised by Chu Xiyuan anyway, and knew a thing or two about his temperament.He was afraid that he also wanted to take this opportunity to make an example of others, and completely eradicate the mandala in Dachu.When everyone sees that even the majestic Lord Hou is no exception, other people who want to use this to make money in the country's crisis will let go of the little things in their hearts.
Money is important, but it also requires life to enjoy it.
Yun Xi said: "Li Lingmei and the others are innocent, and she is also a good person. You don't know, every time Li Linglan comes over, Li Linglan's maid will secretly insert a note to remind me not to eat those things. That maid should be bought by Li Lingmei .”
She asked Li Qiu to steal one of Li Lingmei's usual copybooks, and after comparing the handwriting, she found that Li Lingmei was indeed the one who wrote those letters.
Yun Xi had a high affection for Li Lingmei, and she was a stranger to her, but she was able to remind her at the risk, which showed that she had a really good nature.She didn't want this girl to be troubled by her demented sister.
"I still keep those notes. I think Li Lingmei probably doesn't know the specific dangers of Datura. She only vaguely knows that it is not a good thing."
Yun Shen nodded, "Give me those notes when the time comes. If that's the case, she might be pardoned because of this credit."
Uncle Huang is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
A faint smile appeared on Yun Xi's face unconsciously, that's fine.
Yun Shen became inexplicably upset, Yun Xi wanted to care about too many people, not only him, but many others in her eyes.
"It's not fair." He couldn't help showing his little selfishness in front of her.
Yun Xi knew him very well, so she didn't know that someone was jealous again, and couldn't help laughing again, with a hint of helplessness and indulgence in the smile.
She hooked his finger with her fingers, as if conveying her own feelings through this small gesture, "Fool. The person I will spend my whole life with is you."
Maybe it was because the word "Lifetime" pleased him, Yun Shen's eyebrows stretched out, his face was clear and meaningful, as if the ice and snow had melted, and a hundred flowers were in full bloom, making anyone who saw it want to offer an entire city with both hands to keep this fleeting smile .
Yun Xi couldn't help but read a poem, "There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent. A smile can captivate a city, and then a smile can captivate a country. I'd rather not know a city or a country. A beautiful woman is hard to come by again."
"You wrote this?" Yun Shen asked in surprise, he was very clear about Yun Xi's talents.
"It's just that I read it in a book and think it's very suitable for you."
Yun Shen nodded, with a serious expression on his face, "It's really suitable."
Yun Xi was speechless, when it comes to narcissism, Yun Shen puts it second, no one really dares to say number one.But he also has a level of narcissism.
After the two left the palace gate, Yun Shen went straight back to a house he bought nearby, and then went to Yun Xi's side when he was free.After Yun Mu knew that he had moved out, although he was very reluctant in his heart, but thinking of the weird atmosphere at home, he finally agreed, but he sent a lot of maids and servants to serve Yun Shen.Yun Shen said that he was not used to being served by so many people, so they all retreated.
Just kidding, if he has so much eyeliner, why does he often go to Du's house to stay for a while?
Yun Xi was also aware of this, and got into the carriage slowly, preparing to go home.
Just before getting into the carriage, a beggar child about eight years old greeted him, "Miss, can you give me a meal?"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, this place is near the imperial city, she really doesn't believe that there are any brave beggars who dare to beg here.When she lowered her head, she found that the broken bowl in his hand had a pattern of plum blossoms in the middle.
Yun Xi moved slightly, and ordered: "This child has to come out to beg at such a young age, it's pitiful to look at. Shuangjiang, take him with you, and buy him a bowl of noodles and a few buns later."
The beggar boy showed a joyful expression, and then sat on the front of the car with Yun Da.Yun Da didn't dislike him either. Although the child's clothes were shabby, they were washed very clean, and his fingernails were not like ordinary beggars, with a lot of black dirt on them. It could be seen that he was a beggar who loved cleanliness.
Yun Xi sent him to a nearby noodle restaurant with good taste, ordered beef noodles for him, and gave him some coins.
The beggar boy thanked her again and again, and happily ate noodles.
Yun Da said in a low voice: "Girl, he just secretly gave me a letter."
Then handed over the letter, Yun Xi sat in the carriage, opened the letter, and read it slowly.
This letter was indeed written by Li Lingmei. Li Lingmei wanted to meet her, so the time was set for tomorrow, and the place was Room [-] of Yakeju in Beijing.Yakeju is also one of the best restaurants in Beijing.
Seeing Li Lingmei's kind reminder to her earlier, Yun Xi also plans to help her, and, maybe, she can take this opportunity to make her a greater contribution, so that after the Li family is kidnapped in the future, Li Lingmei can also Get out of it.
The next day, according to the time on the letter, she came to Room [-] of Yakeju.
She knocked on the door, first three times, paused for three seconds, then continued to knock twice.
The door was opened, and Yun Xi walked in with Shuang Jiang and Yin Dan. There were only two people in the room, one was the maid who just opened the door, and the other was Li Lingmei who had met at Princess Duanchang's birthday banquet.Li Lingmei's brows and eyes were full of eagerness, and after seeing her, she calmed down and smiled, "It seems that you didn't eat what she sent."
Yun Xi smiled lightly, "It's just for her to see."
"It's ridiculous that she thought she already had you in her palm, dreaming sweet dreams there every day."
Although Li Lingmei and Yun Xi only met for the second time, and they were just talking to each other, they were like friends who had known each other for a while, straight to the point, without any so-called concealment.
Her expression changed from sarcasm to worry, "I've seen my father and the old lady take that medicine, and it was terrifying. They were high above them, and they knelt down to beg for a little powder, even disregarding their status as elders. I implore Ling Lan, let her ask for precious gold and silver."
Although she didn't know what that medicine was, she had fully seen its horror, and it could make a person lose his self-esteem and personality.Therefore, during this period of time, they only eat what they cook in the yard, and they don't even eat with other people.The fact that they were able to stay out of the trap was partly because of their caution, and partly because of Caiyun's tip-off.
Yun Xi nodded, "I know." She paused, and asked, "Can you steal Li Linglan's medicine?" Since Caiyun is someone close to Li Lingmei, she should be able to do it.
Li Lingmei nodded and asked, "Is it all right to steal it?"
Yun Xi's voice subconsciously softened a lot, "At least in the future, the Li family will be questioned. With this credit, at least you and your relatives will be safe." The category of relatives here is limited to Li Wu and Li Siyu .
Li Lingmei's expression became serious unconsciously, "I see." His father and the old lady only had Aunt Song and her pair of children in their eyes.Li Lingmei didn't think the Holy Mother wanted to fish them out.
If they hadn't spoiled Lily of the Valley too much, how could they have raised her with such a selfish and vicious temperament.Drinking and pecking, there is a definite number, let them taste the bitter fruit they have brewed for themselves.
……
After agreeing with Yun Xi, Li Lingmei returned home and saw a plate of snacks on the table when she returned to her room.
Her pupils narrowed slightly, and she asked, "Who sent this?"
The little maid serving in the house said: "Probably the kitchen is worried that you will be hungry after you come back, so I asked someone to bring some snacks over."
Li Lingmei sat down, "I'm not hungry, put away the snacks."
This kind of dim sum of unknown origin can be guessed by who sent it.
Li Lingmei was really tired of the opponent's tricks.There is no indecent communication.That being the case, she might as well deal with it in the same way.
After he sent the little maid away, he called his confidant maid over and ordered that this plate of dim sum be given to Aunt Song and Li Sihan in the name of Li Linglan.On the other hand, she also asked Caiyue to steal the mandala powder.
Caiyue is also a smart person. In order to alleviate her suspicion, she directly asked a trusted little maid to do this. She even deliberately turned Li Linglan's room into a mess, creating a kind of thief who would steal the mandala powder. The illusion that the whole house has been turned over.
When Li Linglan came back and saw the scene inside the house, she almost fell backward in anger.She hurriedly went to the dressing table to find the mandala powder she had hidden on the bottom layer.As a result, the mandala powder was gone, and the set of jewelry she got from her grandmother on the dressing table was also taken away.
Angrily, she threw the empty dressing box to the ground, and immediately called for the maid who guarded the door to see who had come in.
Just a question, the maid at the door at that time would either go to get things from the kitchen, or go to the toilet if she had a stomachache.Everyone was not there, and the opponent also had this time difference.
Li Linglan was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth, her suspect was naturally Li Lingmei.
Caiyue comforted her and said: "If it's really Missy, that's fine. We just need to spread the word that you have lost precious medicinal materials that can strengthen the body in your room. I'm not afraid that Missy will be fooled. She will definitely take the powder with you." Come and cook for her, wife, and young master, and take it by yourself. Doesn’t this save us a lot of effort?”
Li Linglan also felt that this idea was not a bad idea.She looked at Caiyue with admiring eyes, "You girl, you are quite quick-witted."
Caiyun lowered her head, with a face full of joy and pride of being praised, "I can't compare to you, miss. In time, the entire Li family will be under your control."
Li Linglan was flattered by Caiyue's praise, she seemed to see everyone kneeling in front of her, and she was the queen of this family.At that time, she must send Li Lingmei to the brothel.
Li Linglan immediately followed Caiyue's suggestion.
……
Li Lingmei listened to the news from Caiyue and praised: "Caiyue is really smart."
The understatement not only defuses Lily of the Valley's anger, but also wins more trust.
Her maid, Brother Yu nodded, and delivered the bag of mandala powder to Princess Ming according to her own instructions.
The reason why Li Lingmei stole the medicine was not just to annoy Li Linglan, but to attract the people behind her faster.
Just as Yun Xi expected, when the mandala in hand was gone, Li Lingmei immediately chose to contact the mysterious person in order to get a new batch of powder from him.Li Linglan didn't dare to say that these things were stolen from her, but pushed Du Yunxi down, saying that it was to get the wrought iron as soon as possible, so she increased the weight.
On the night of August [-]th, the mysterious man arrived as promised.
He gave Li Linglan a new pack of mandalas, and ordered her to finish the matter in August, and he beat for a while before leaving.
It's just that when he left Li's house, he was caught by the hidden royal guards who had been waiting nearby, and took him back directly.
Yun Xi also received the news that the big fish was caught, so she no longer had to falsely believe that Li Linglan was a snake.
Yun Xi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She was really tired of talking to such an idiot as Li Linglan. If she continued, she felt that her IQ would be lowered.
She wrote a letter to Li Linglan in a happy mood, telling her that she could discuss the matter of national beauty and heavenly fragrance bonus.
After Li Linglan received the letter, she couldn't help laughing out loud.She knew that once this addiction was inflicted, no one could escape from it, no matter how strong the willpower was.Thinking that she would soon be able to accept Du Yunxi's money property, Li Linglan became happier.
She made another dessert with a larger amount of mandala, which was a big gift from her to Du Yunxi.
However, Aunt Song came over, with a somewhat anxious and bored expression on her face. She didn't feel relieved until she smelled the aroma of snacks.
Li Linglan looked at Aunt Song suspiciously, "Mom, what are you doing here?" Aunt Song is just a noble concubine, logically speaking, Li Linglan can't call her mother.But she thought that the entire Li family would soon be under her control, so she naturally did whatever she wanted, calling out whatever she liked.
Aunt Song saw the dim sum.His eyes lit up, and he pounced on it immediately, even ignoring his usual demeanor, holding the snack in his hand, and stuffing it into his mouth.
Li Linglan turned pale with shock, and quickly tried to stop her.There is a large amount of mandala in it, how dare she give it to her mother.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Song, who usually looked weak, burst out with great strength at this time, directly pushing Li Linglan to the ground.She continued to grab the snacks and stuff them into her mouth, because the snacks were too hot, and her mouth was even burned out a few bags.But Aunt Song didn't seem to notice, she still ate desperately.
After a while, her expression became blurred, and she giggled, as if she had fallen into the best dream.
"Mine, everything is mine."
Seeing this, Li Linglan didn't know that it was because her biological mother had taken Datura.Hatred in my heart: Needless to say, it must be Li Lingmei's fault.I didn't expect that she would kill my mother without anyone noticing.
After Aunt Song woke up from a beautiful dream, she realized what had just happened, and when she opened her mouth a little, it hurt terribly.She gave Li Linglan a dissatisfied look, "You child, you have such a good thing, why are you still hiding it. You are only willing to honor your father and your grandmother, but you don't know how to give it to me and your brother."
Li Linglan screamed, "Have you both eaten?" She was worried that her biological mother and elder brother would accidentally leak the news, so she kept it a secret. Who knew that such a thing would happen.
Aunt Song complained: "Okay, if you make this kind of dim sum in the future, remember to send me and your brother a copy. It's rare to raise you so big, but you are even stingy with dim sum to honor us."
Li Linglan could only nod her head in response when she had a difficult time to talk about.She can only comfort herself, anyway, she has the medicine in her hand, and she can just take it for her aunt and brother every once in a while.With the credit she made, the mysterious man would definitely be willing to give her some mandalas.And this is also a good thing. In the future, my aunt and brother will be able to listen to her more.
After Aunt Song staggered out of the kitchen, she looked at the messy kitchen, held back her anger, and continued to make dim sum again.
Cursing Li Lingmei's name while doing it, Caiyun helped her with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
……
Due to the rework, Li Linglan arrived at Du's house half an hour later than originally scheduled.
Yun Xi pretended not to care, and welcomed Li Linglan in eagerly.
In front of people, Li Linglan could still pretend to be friendly, but after entering the study, she said very bluntly: "What about the contract, have you drawn up a contract for the two of us?"
Yun Xi said calmly: "Where's your dim sum? What did you add to your dim sum? Why do I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a few days?"
Li Linglan's voice revealed a hint of complacency, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that can make you happier than a god. As long as you cooperate with me, I will definitely give you this medicine powder in the future."
She seemed to be convinced that Yun Xi was already in her hands, and she was not afraid of her repentance at all, and asked Cai Yun to hand over the food box directly to Yun Xi.
The nanny in the palace took the food box first.
Li Linglan said: "Now let me have a look at the contract, I think we need to revise the conditions above."
A bright smile rose from the corner of Yun Xi's mouth, "The contract... why don't you take a good look at it in the cell?"
Li Linglan suddenly had an uneasy premonition in her heart, and said sharply: "What do you mean? You don't want medicine anymore?"
The door was suddenly opened, and Yun Shen appeared in front of the study with his guards. His voice was as cold as a cold pool in December, "Li Linglan colluded with Nanling and tried to use mandalas to control Dachu and subvert the kingdom. There is no excuse for taking Li Linglan into the palace. go down."
Li Linglan turned pale, and turned her head suddenly to look at Yun Xi who was still smiling at her, her face was full of disbelief, "You don't want the antidote anymore?"
Yun Xi's tone was gentle, "I have never eaten anything you sent me, so where do I need an antidote?"
"You, you lied to me!" Li Linglan's voice was shrill, her face pale.Seeing this battle and hearing Yun Shen's words just now, she knew that she had no way out.She wanted to struggle, but it was a pity that the guard didn't know how to be sympathetic, so he simply and neatly removed her arm and her jaw, so that even though she was in extreme pain, she couldn't make a sound.
Yun Xi watched Li Linglan being taken away with an indifferent expression. She could not participate in the next thing.
……
After Chu Xiyuan deeply understood the danger of this mandala, it can be said that he issued the imperial decree vigorously and resolutely.
The Li family was raided, and everyone from top to bottom was thrown into the dungeon, with the only exception being the people in Li Lingmei's yard.Li Lingmei helped find the evidence, led the snake out of the hole, and gave a reminder in advance, which is a great contribution.
Although the Li family was confiscated and all the family properties were removed by the household department, the property under the names of Li Lingmei, Li Siyu and Li Wu could be preserved.
When the officials of the household department found a large pile of land deeds and bank notes of the Li family in Li Linglan's house, they couldn't help feeling cold inside.
They feel that this mandala is really terrifying, it can easily manipulate people and make them obediently give everything they have.
Li Lingmei supported her father and watched as the others were put in shackles and tied up in a bunch, as if they were tying zongzi.
The servant girl was sobbing in a low voice, mourning for her future fate.As for Li Houye and Mrs. Li, they were in the stage of drug addiction, and they kept yelling for snacks over there, with grim faces, and the blue veins on their foreheads were clearly visible.
The people from the household department disliked the two of them for being too noisy, so they cut them with one hand, making them faint, which can be regarded as relieving their pain.
Aunt Song's hair was in a messy bun, and the hairpins on her head were snatched by some petty officials who searched the family property, and her ears hurt—this was the wound caused by those government officials mercilessly pulling off her gold earrings.
Aunt Song looked at Li Lingmei, Li Wushi, and Li Siyu who were respectfully protected by several yamen servants, and hurriedly shouted: "I am innocent, please tell them that I don't know anything, let me go. "
Li Lingmei just thought it was ridiculous, Aunt Song had treated them like this all these years, how could she think that she would intercede for her.Their mother and daughter are indeed self-righteous in the same strain.
She even gave Aunt Song a lazy look, supported her mother, and was about to leave.
When Aunt Song saw this, deep resentment and viciousness flashed in her eyes.Why!Why do they have to be in prison, and their lives can't even be saved.But the three of them were able to leave safely with a large sum of money.
She screamed: "Li Lingmei, you unfilial daughter! You have killed the whole family of the Li family for your own benefit, and you have to die. All the ancestors of the Li family will wait for you underground! Will you There will be retribution!"
Li Lingmei stopped in her tracks, turned around, her eyes were cold, "It wasn't me who made the Li family like this, but your precious daughter. If you and my father didn't spoil Li Linglan out of her temper, how could she have the guts to collude with the enemy country?" , trying to overthrow our Great Chu Dynasty and control everyone with such harmful drugs."
"If the ancestors of the Li family knew about it underground, I'm afraid they would have jumped out of the coffin and strangled you mother and daughter to death."
Even if Li Lingmei was telling the truth, how could Aunt Song listen to her.Her face was contorted, and she was about to continue yelling.A yamen servant slapped him impatiently, and cursed: "You raised such a wolf-hearted daughter, you still have the intention to shout here, shameless!"
After slapping her, she directly picked up a rag, stuffed it into Aunt Song's mouth, and asked her to be escorted away quickly, so as not to continue making noise.
Li Lingmei took one last look at the plaque of the Hou Mansion, then turned and left with a trace of relief in her eyes.Although she was no longer the daughter of Hou Men, at this moment, she felt a burst of relief as if she had taken off a layer of restraint.
Her heart is very small, she can only pretend to be her elder brother, mother, and the loyal servant girl who has always been by her side.Although a few maids were also taken away, at most they would be re-sold, and their lives would not be in danger.Li Lingmei had already prepared the money to buy them back.
At this time, Lu Yiran, dressed in red, stepped out of a gorgeous carriage parked on the side of the road. She smiled softly, "You guys probably haven't found a house yet, right? With such a large amount of property , it’s not convenient for you to stay at the inn, why don’t you go to my place first.”
A look of gratitude appeared in Li Lingmei's eyes. She also had Zhuangzi under her name, and she originally planned to live there temporarily.Yiran must be aware of this, but he still invited them, but just to show his support and deter others.After all, she is not a concubine girl now, and her wealth is touching, and if it is not guaranteed, someone will plan to make such a large sum of money.
She nodded, her voice choked up, "thanks a lot."
It has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.
Lu Yiran blinked, and said, "You know it too, I'm careless, how can I expect these things. Yun Xi reminded me of this."
Li Lingmei was startled, and the smile on her face deepened.
Li Wu couldn't help showing a faint smile - no matter what, their life will never be more difficult than before.
……
Although the whole Li family was put into prison, the ministers had different opinions on how to deal with them.Some felt that it was enough to kill Li Linglan, the chief villain, while others felt that Li Linglan's crime was almost the same as rebellion, and the Li family could not be easily spared.
Chu Xiyuan had already known how to deal with the Li family, so he didn't say much, and took the ministers to see the plight of the prisoners who had run out of medicine in the sky prison. For a little medicine, they even Even behaviors like eating shit can be done.
Seeing this, these ministers couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts, and as long as they thought that they were being controlled, they might end up like this, and no one felt that they should let the Li family go.
In the end, from Mrs. Li to Aunt Song, they were all sentenced to be beheaded. The property of the Li family was confiscated, and the servants of the Li family were dragged to sell.
Li Lingmei also took the opportunity to buy some loyal servants, because of Lu Yiran, she didn't waste much money.
It's just that her reputation has worsened to some extent. Although she is said to be doing good things for the country and the people, some people think that she is too cold-blooded towards her father and grandmother.
Li Lingmei doesn't care about this, what is fame?At the beginning, her father loved his concubine and killed his wife, and everyone in the capital knew about it. At most, people in the capital only whispered a few words behind their backs. Her father, Aunt Song and others still lived happily.
From then on, Li Lingmei knew that benefits are the most important thing compared to the so-called reputation.
She also believes that the three of them will only have a better life in the future.
……
Nanling Palace.
"Brother, my good second brother was caught by Da Chu." Yuan Lingxi, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace uniform, looked at her royal brother with a smile, and did not hide her gloating in her tone.
"It seems that I really think highly of him. I thought he could really get the wrought iron method." Yuan Lingyu had a gentle smile on his face.
Yuan Lingxi said: "That Du Yunxi doesn't look like a fool at first glance, it's no wonder he was so easily calculated."
She wrinkled her nose slightly, and said: "It's just that she and that Yun Shen are really hateful, they teased and deceived us like that. That Yun Shen actually said that he was a little boy who was raised, and he didn't have any self-esteem of a big man."
Yuan Lingyu said: "When a man is willing to say this, it means that he really puts that woman in his heart."
After hearing this, Yuan Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and retorted, "You said it as if you are very experienced in this area, brother. Hmph, I think the girls outside are all deceived by your face." I thought her brother was a gentle and considerate person.
Pooh!How can a gentle and good person kick away a bunch of competitors and become the lord of Nanling.
Yuan Lingyu still smiled faintly, "At least he has more experience than you."
Yuan Lingxi didn't want to continue arguing with him on this aspect, so he simply changed the subject, "Second brother did such a thing, how should we explain to them?"
Yuan Lingxi really hates this second brother.She always thought hard to get her brother off the horse, and now she brought Nanling such a predicament.
Yuan Lingyu just rubbed the hair of his angry younger sister and said, "Don't worry, I already have an idea."
Looking at his familiar expression, Yuan Lingxi unconsciously settled the uneasiness in his heart, showing a bright smile, "Well, I believe in you. Brother is the most powerful!"
Yuan Lingyu said: "We can just use this opportunity to destroy that piece of mandala." In the entire Nanling, only Yuan Lingxi has the largest mandala flower field in his hand. Yuan Lingyu, who knows the effect of mandala, has long since Deliberately destroy this flower field.However, this flower field was specially left to Yuan Lingqi by the empress dowager at that time. For the sake of the so-called fame and filial piety, Yuan Lingyu really couldn't do anything without a reasonable reason.
He played with the jade pendant in his hand, and a pair of star-like eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
From the very beginning, when he went to Dachu, he didn't even hide his interest in wrought iron method, just to attract Yuan Lingyu.He knew exactly what the second brother was thinking.Ambitious, he would never let go of the opportunity to strengthen his own strength, and his attack on Du Yunxi was within his expectation.
He also arranged his own people around Yuan Lingqi.If successful, he can also get the wrought iron method.
If it fails, it can also use this matter to suppress Yuan Lingqi, making him completely unable to stand up.
No matter what the result is, he will not suffer.
Yuan Lingyu's mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
……
"So, the person who ordered Li Linglan was Yuan Lingqi, Prince An of Nanling?" Yun Xi asked with wide-eyed eyes.
Yun Shen nodded, "Yuan Lingqi has always wanted to be the lord of Nanling, but he missed the game, and Yuan Lingyu took the lead in the end, but until now he still has not given up on this idea, and is constantly looking for ways to expand his strength in private. It's just that his usual actions are quite secretive, and Yuan Lingyu can't catch his feet, and he can't convict him. He probably wants to use Li Linglan to control you, and the method of getting wrought iron can at least greatly improve him. The strength of an army assembled in private."
Yun Xi understood that political power came out of the barrel of a gun.
The corner of her mouth curled up, "Your Majesty will definitely lodge a serious protest against Nanling's actions. Yuan Lingqi's actions have shaken Da Chu's national foundation, and he didn't say no even if he bit down a piece of meat from Nanling." go out."
Yun Xi was quite pleased with this approach.After she crossed over, she was from Da Chu, so she would naturally consider Da Chu's interests.Not to mention, this Yuan Lingqi actually wanted her to become addicted to drugs.Thinking of this, Yun Xi wished he could cut this person into pieces.It's just that her rationality told her that it was really difficult for the other party to be the prince of a country.
Yun Shen's voice became more murderous, "However, how will Nanling deal with him? Since he dares to attack you, I will not let him go easily."
Even if it is the so-called prince, he will make him pay the price he deserves.He has many ways to make people unable to live or die.
Yun Xi was about to say something when she suddenly heard an exclamation, "Oh, Bai Xue, what are you doing? Don't throw this away! This is my sister's property, come back quickly!"
Yun Xi suddenly became nervous. Bai Xue was really the king of destruction in the family, and she was really worried that this fox would destroy important things if he was not careful.
She stood up quickly, "I'll go and have a look."
When Yun Xi followed the sound, she happened to see Bai Xue throwing a piece of black charcoal into the brazier. The charcoal looked very familiar.
Bai Xue was still wagging her tail to claim credit, as if she felt that she had done a good deed.
Yun Xi almost laughed angrily.The thing that looked like charcoal was one of the things she bought back when she went shopping with Yun Shen earlier.At that time, she studied it for a long time, but she couldn't find out what it was, so she simply put it away.
In the end, I don't know how Bai Xue found it, and threw it into the brazier as charcoal.
This little fox is really getting better and better.
Seeing Yun Xi's approach, Bai Xue yelled and rushed towards her, her long tail gently sweeping over Yun Xi's face.
Yun Xi grabbed his tail and was about to teach him a lesson when suddenly she smelled a sweet fragrance that she had never heard before.
I am on my period, I feel uncomfortable... I write so slowly, I just want to sleep...
(End of this chapter)
In order to teach Yun Xi a lesson, Li Linglan didn't bring food to Yun Xi for several days, and only waited for Yun Xi to kneel down in front of her like a dog and beg her to accept those things after her drug addiction broke out.
Yun Xi went to the prison with Yun Shen, and took a look at the appearance of those people who were weaned off their medicine.
Even if they were punished, the burly men who still did not change their faces knelt on the ground, begging for food with tears streaming down their faces.Some hit the wall with their heads, leaving traces of blood on the wall.Some kept grabbing themselves, pulling out bloody wounds, and screaming pitifully.
"Is this the mandala you mentioned?"
Yun Xi turned her head, but saw Chu Xiyuan coming at a leisurely pace with a sullen face.
She bowed, and halfway through, Chu Xiyuan waved her to get up, "There's no need to be too polite."
As the emperor of a country, it is naturally impossible for his eyes to be limited to the three acres of land in front of him.He shuddered at the thought that if this kind of drug was rampant in Great Chu, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, including him, would be controlled by this drug, it would undoubtedly shake the foundation of Great Chu.
Yun Xi saw what he was thinking, and continued to dose the medicine blindly, "If this medicine also flows into the world, I am afraid that there will be no more men in Dachu who can fight." She just needs to stop, Chu Xiyuan is not What a fool.
All the prisoners in the cells lost a lot of weight, their faces were ashen, and their combat effectiveness was far different than before.
Chu Xiyuan's eyes froze, and the aura belonging to the emperor was vividly displayed at this moment, which made people breathless, as if there was a big mountain on a person's chest.
Originally, he only planned to dig out the person behind the scenes and end Li Linglan's life with a piece of white silk. Now it seems that such a death is too cheap for her.
Many thoughts drifted by, and Chu Xiyuan's face quickly returned to his usual calm and calm, with a gentle tone, "You two should go back." Then he ordered his servants to reward Yun Xi with a bunch of things.
After all, many people knew about Yun Xi and Yun Shen's entry into the palace, and the matter of Mandala couldn't be exposed right away, so naturally they had to find other excuses to cover it up.This is cheaper for Yun Xi, what Chu Xiyuan collected is naturally a good thing.
Yun Xi and Yun Shen looked at each other, saluted, and walked out of the dungeon together.
She communicated with Yunshen by using the condensed voice to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, "Tell me, how will His Majesty punish the Li family?"
Yun Shen has a cold personality, except for those whom he holds dear, others are nothing but dust to him.His face was calm, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, coating him with a layer of golden light, like a body strolling down from the clouds, showing a careless aloofness, "I'm afraid I won't be able to escape by cutting all over the house. "
Yun Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Will Li Lingmei, her mother, and her brother be affected as well?"
"Since it is full of families, there are naturally no exceptions." Yun Shen was raised by Chu Xiyuan anyway, and knew a thing or two about his temperament.He was afraid that he also wanted to take this opportunity to make an example of others, and completely eradicate the mandala in Dachu.When everyone sees that even the majestic Lord Hou is no exception, other people who want to use this to make money in the country's crisis will let go of the little things in their hearts.
Money is important, but it also requires life to enjoy it.
Yun Xi said: "Li Lingmei and the others are innocent, and she is also a good person. You don't know, every time Li Linglan comes over, Li Linglan's maid will secretly insert a note to remind me not to eat those things. That maid should be bought by Li Lingmei .”
She asked Li Qiu to steal one of Li Lingmei's usual copybooks, and after comparing the handwriting, she found that Li Lingmei was indeed the one who wrote those letters.
Yun Xi had a high affection for Li Lingmei, and she was a stranger to her, but she was able to remind her at the risk, which showed that she had a really good nature.She didn't want this girl to be troubled by her demented sister.
"I still keep those notes. I think Li Lingmei probably doesn't know the specific dangers of Datura. She only vaguely knows that it is not a good thing."
Yun Shen nodded, "Give me those notes when the time comes. If that's the case, she might be pardoned because of this credit."
Uncle Huang is not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
A faint smile appeared on Yun Xi's face unconsciously, that's fine.
Yun Shen became inexplicably upset, Yun Xi wanted to care about too many people, not only him, but many others in her eyes.
"It's not fair." He couldn't help showing his little selfishness in front of her.
Yun Xi knew him very well, so she didn't know that someone was jealous again, and couldn't help laughing again, with a hint of helplessness and indulgence in the smile.
She hooked his finger with her fingers, as if conveying her own feelings through this small gesture, "Fool. The person I will spend my whole life with is you."
Maybe it was because the word "Lifetime" pleased him, Yun Shen's eyebrows stretched out, his face was clear and meaningful, as if the ice and snow had melted, and a hundred flowers were in full bloom, making anyone who saw it want to offer an entire city with both hands to keep this fleeting smile .
Yun Xi couldn't help but read a poem, "There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent. A smile can captivate a city, and then a smile can captivate a country. I'd rather not know a city or a country. A beautiful woman is hard to come by again."
"You wrote this?" Yun Shen asked in surprise, he was very clear about Yun Xi's talents.
"It's just that I read it in a book and think it's very suitable for you."
Yun Shen nodded, with a serious expression on his face, "It's really suitable."
Yun Xi was speechless, when it comes to narcissism, Yun Shen puts it second, no one really dares to say number one.But he also has a level of narcissism.
After the two left the palace gate, Yun Shen went straight back to a house he bought nearby, and then went to Yun Xi's side when he was free.After Yun Mu knew that he had moved out, although he was very reluctant in his heart, but thinking of the weird atmosphere at home, he finally agreed, but he sent a lot of maids and servants to serve Yun Shen.Yun Shen said that he was not used to being served by so many people, so they all retreated.
Just kidding, if he has so much eyeliner, why does he often go to Du's house to stay for a while?
Yun Xi was also aware of this, and got into the carriage slowly, preparing to go home.
Just before getting into the carriage, a beggar child about eight years old greeted him, "Miss, can you give me a meal?"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, this place is near the imperial city, she really doesn't believe that there are any brave beggars who dare to beg here.When she lowered her head, she found that the broken bowl in his hand had a pattern of plum blossoms in the middle.
Yun Xi moved slightly, and ordered: "This child has to come out to beg at such a young age, it's pitiful to look at. Shuangjiang, take him with you, and buy him a bowl of noodles and a few buns later."
The beggar boy showed a joyful expression, and then sat on the front of the car with Yun Da.Yun Da didn't dislike him either. Although the child's clothes were shabby, they were washed very clean, and his fingernails were not like ordinary beggars, with a lot of black dirt on them. It could be seen that he was a beggar who loved cleanliness.
Yun Xi sent him to a nearby noodle restaurant with good taste, ordered beef noodles for him, and gave him some coins.
The beggar boy thanked her again and again, and happily ate noodles.
Yun Da said in a low voice: "Girl, he just secretly gave me a letter."
Then handed over the letter, Yun Xi sat in the carriage, opened the letter, and read it slowly.
This letter was indeed written by Li Lingmei. Li Lingmei wanted to meet her, so the time was set for tomorrow, and the place was Room [-] of Yakeju in Beijing.Yakeju is also one of the best restaurants in Beijing.
Seeing Li Lingmei's kind reminder to her earlier, Yun Xi also plans to help her, and, maybe, she can take this opportunity to make her a greater contribution, so that after the Li family is kidnapped in the future, Li Lingmei can also Get out of it.
The next day, according to the time on the letter, she came to Room [-] of Yakeju.
She knocked on the door, first three times, paused for three seconds, then continued to knock twice.
The door was opened, and Yun Xi walked in with Shuang Jiang and Yin Dan. There were only two people in the room, one was the maid who just opened the door, and the other was Li Lingmei who had met at Princess Duanchang's birthday banquet.Li Lingmei's brows and eyes were full of eagerness, and after seeing her, she calmed down and smiled, "It seems that you didn't eat what she sent."
Yun Xi smiled lightly, "It's just for her to see."
"It's ridiculous that she thought she already had you in her palm, dreaming sweet dreams there every day."
Although Li Lingmei and Yun Xi only met for the second time, and they were just talking to each other, they were like friends who had known each other for a while, straight to the point, without any so-called concealment.
Her expression changed from sarcasm to worry, "I've seen my father and the old lady take that medicine, and it was terrifying. They were high above them, and they knelt down to beg for a little powder, even disregarding their status as elders. I implore Ling Lan, let her ask for precious gold and silver."
Although she didn't know what that medicine was, she had fully seen its horror, and it could make a person lose his self-esteem and personality.Therefore, during this period of time, they only eat what they cook in the yard, and they don't even eat with other people.The fact that they were able to stay out of the trap was partly because of their caution, and partly because of Caiyun's tip-off.
Yun Xi nodded, "I know." She paused, and asked, "Can you steal Li Linglan's medicine?" Since Caiyun is someone close to Li Lingmei, she should be able to do it.
Li Lingmei nodded and asked, "Is it all right to steal it?"
Yun Xi's voice subconsciously softened a lot, "At least in the future, the Li family will be questioned. With this credit, at least you and your relatives will be safe." The category of relatives here is limited to Li Wu and Li Siyu .
Li Lingmei's expression became serious unconsciously, "I see." His father and the old lady only had Aunt Song and her pair of children in their eyes.Li Lingmei didn't think the Holy Mother wanted to fish them out.
If they hadn't spoiled Lily of the Valley too much, how could they have raised her with such a selfish and vicious temperament.Drinking and pecking, there is a definite number, let them taste the bitter fruit they have brewed for themselves.
……
After agreeing with Yun Xi, Li Lingmei returned home and saw a plate of snacks on the table when she returned to her room.
Her pupils narrowed slightly, and she asked, "Who sent this?"
The little maid serving in the house said: "Probably the kitchen is worried that you will be hungry after you come back, so I asked someone to bring some snacks over."
Li Lingmei sat down, "I'm not hungry, put away the snacks."
This kind of dim sum of unknown origin can be guessed by who sent it.
Li Lingmei was really tired of the opponent's tricks.There is no indecent communication.That being the case, she might as well deal with it in the same way.
After he sent the little maid away, he called his confidant maid over and ordered that this plate of dim sum be given to Aunt Song and Li Sihan in the name of Li Linglan.On the other hand, she also asked Caiyue to steal the mandala powder.
Caiyue is also a smart person. In order to alleviate her suspicion, she directly asked a trusted little maid to do this. She even deliberately turned Li Linglan's room into a mess, creating a kind of thief who would steal the mandala powder. The illusion that the whole house has been turned over.
When Li Linglan came back and saw the scene inside the house, she almost fell backward in anger.She hurriedly went to the dressing table to find the mandala powder she had hidden on the bottom layer.As a result, the mandala powder was gone, and the set of jewelry she got from her grandmother on the dressing table was also taken away.
Angrily, she threw the empty dressing box to the ground, and immediately called for the maid who guarded the door to see who had come in.
Just a question, the maid at the door at that time would either go to get things from the kitchen, or go to the toilet if she had a stomachache.Everyone was not there, and the opponent also had this time difference.
Li Linglan was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth, her suspect was naturally Li Lingmei.
Caiyue comforted her and said: "If it's really Missy, that's fine. We just need to spread the word that you have lost precious medicinal materials that can strengthen the body in your room. I'm not afraid that Missy will be fooled. She will definitely take the powder with you." Come and cook for her, wife, and young master, and take it by yourself. Doesn’t this save us a lot of effort?”
Li Linglan also felt that this idea was not a bad idea.She looked at Caiyue with admiring eyes, "You girl, you are quite quick-witted."
Caiyun lowered her head, with a face full of joy and pride of being praised, "I can't compare to you, miss. In time, the entire Li family will be under your control."
Li Linglan was flattered by Caiyue's praise, she seemed to see everyone kneeling in front of her, and she was the queen of this family.At that time, she must send Li Lingmei to the brothel.
Li Linglan immediately followed Caiyue's suggestion.
……
Li Lingmei listened to the news from Caiyue and praised: "Caiyue is really smart."
The understatement not only defuses Lily of the Valley's anger, but also wins more trust.
Her maid, Brother Yu nodded, and delivered the bag of mandala powder to Princess Ming according to her own instructions.
The reason why Li Lingmei stole the medicine was not just to annoy Li Linglan, but to attract the people behind her faster.
Just as Yun Xi expected, when the mandala in hand was gone, Li Lingmei immediately chose to contact the mysterious person in order to get a new batch of powder from him.Li Linglan didn't dare to say that these things were stolen from her, but pushed Du Yunxi down, saying that it was to get the wrought iron as soon as possible, so she increased the weight.
On the night of August [-]th, the mysterious man arrived as promised.
He gave Li Linglan a new pack of mandalas, and ordered her to finish the matter in August, and he beat for a while before leaving.
It's just that when he left Li's house, he was caught by the hidden royal guards who had been waiting nearby, and took him back directly.
Yun Xi also received the news that the big fish was caught, so she no longer had to falsely believe that Li Linglan was a snake.
Yun Xi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She was really tired of talking to such an idiot as Li Linglan. If she continued, she felt that her IQ would be lowered.
She wrote a letter to Li Linglan in a happy mood, telling her that she could discuss the matter of national beauty and heavenly fragrance bonus.
After Li Linglan received the letter, she couldn't help laughing out loud.She knew that once this addiction was inflicted, no one could escape from it, no matter how strong the willpower was.Thinking that she would soon be able to accept Du Yunxi's money property, Li Linglan became happier.
She made another dessert with a larger amount of mandala, which was a big gift from her to Du Yunxi.
However, Aunt Song came over, with a somewhat anxious and bored expression on her face. She didn't feel relieved until she smelled the aroma of snacks.
Li Linglan looked at Aunt Song suspiciously, "Mom, what are you doing here?" Aunt Song is just a noble concubine, logically speaking, Li Linglan can't call her mother.But she thought that the entire Li family would soon be under her control, so she naturally did whatever she wanted, calling out whatever she liked.
Aunt Song saw the dim sum.His eyes lit up, and he pounced on it immediately, even ignoring his usual demeanor, holding the snack in his hand, and stuffing it into his mouth.
Li Linglan turned pale with shock, and quickly tried to stop her.There is a large amount of mandala in it, how dare she give it to her mother.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Song, who usually looked weak, burst out with great strength at this time, directly pushing Li Linglan to the ground.She continued to grab the snacks and stuff them into her mouth, because the snacks were too hot, and her mouth was even burned out a few bags.But Aunt Song didn't seem to notice, she still ate desperately.
After a while, her expression became blurred, and she giggled, as if she had fallen into the best dream.
"Mine, everything is mine."
Seeing this, Li Linglan didn't know that it was because her biological mother had taken Datura.Hatred in my heart: Needless to say, it must be Li Lingmei's fault.I didn't expect that she would kill my mother without anyone noticing.
After Aunt Song woke up from a beautiful dream, she realized what had just happened, and when she opened her mouth a little, it hurt terribly.She gave Li Linglan a dissatisfied look, "You child, you have such a good thing, why are you still hiding it. You are only willing to honor your father and your grandmother, but you don't know how to give it to me and your brother."
Li Linglan screamed, "Have you both eaten?" She was worried that her biological mother and elder brother would accidentally leak the news, so she kept it a secret. Who knew that such a thing would happen.
Aunt Song complained: "Okay, if you make this kind of dim sum in the future, remember to send me and your brother a copy. It's rare to raise you so big, but you are even stingy with dim sum to honor us."
Li Linglan could only nod her head in response when she had a difficult time to talk about.She can only comfort herself, anyway, she has the medicine in her hand, and she can just take it for her aunt and brother every once in a while.With the credit she made, the mysterious man would definitely be willing to give her some mandalas.And this is also a good thing. In the future, my aunt and brother will be able to listen to her more.
After Aunt Song staggered out of the kitchen, she looked at the messy kitchen, held back her anger, and continued to make dim sum again.
Cursing Li Lingmei's name while doing it, Caiyun helped her with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
……
Due to the rework, Li Linglan arrived at Du's house half an hour later than originally scheduled.
Yun Xi pretended not to care, and welcomed Li Linglan in eagerly.
In front of people, Li Linglan could still pretend to be friendly, but after entering the study, she said very bluntly: "What about the contract, have you drawn up a contract for the two of us?"
Yun Xi said calmly: "Where's your dim sum? What did you add to your dim sum? Why do I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a few days?"
Li Linglan's voice revealed a hint of complacency, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that can make you happier than a god. As long as you cooperate with me, I will definitely give you this medicine powder in the future."
She seemed to be convinced that Yun Xi was already in her hands, and she was not afraid of her repentance at all, and asked Cai Yun to hand over the food box directly to Yun Xi.
The nanny in the palace took the food box first.
Li Linglan said: "Now let me have a look at the contract, I think we need to revise the conditions above."
A bright smile rose from the corner of Yun Xi's mouth, "The contract... why don't you take a good look at it in the cell?"
Li Linglan suddenly had an uneasy premonition in her heart, and said sharply: "What do you mean? You don't want medicine anymore?"
The door was suddenly opened, and Yun Shen appeared in front of the study with his guards. His voice was as cold as a cold pool in December, "Li Linglan colluded with Nanling and tried to use mandalas to control Dachu and subvert the kingdom. There is no excuse for taking Li Linglan into the palace. go down."
Li Linglan turned pale, and turned her head suddenly to look at Yun Xi who was still smiling at her, her face was full of disbelief, "You don't want the antidote anymore?"
Yun Xi's tone was gentle, "I have never eaten anything you sent me, so where do I need an antidote?"
"You, you lied to me!" Li Linglan's voice was shrill, her face pale.Seeing this battle and hearing Yun Shen's words just now, she knew that she had no way out.She wanted to struggle, but it was a pity that the guard didn't know how to be sympathetic, so he simply and neatly removed her arm and her jaw, so that even though she was in extreme pain, she couldn't make a sound.
Yun Xi watched Li Linglan being taken away with an indifferent expression. She could not participate in the next thing.
……
After Chu Xiyuan deeply understood the danger of this mandala, it can be said that he issued the imperial decree vigorously and resolutely.
The Li family was raided, and everyone from top to bottom was thrown into the dungeon, with the only exception being the people in Li Lingmei's yard.Li Lingmei helped find the evidence, led the snake out of the hole, and gave a reminder in advance, which is a great contribution.
Although the Li family was confiscated and all the family properties were removed by the household department, the property under the names of Li Lingmei, Li Siyu and Li Wu could be preserved.
When the officials of the household department found a large pile of land deeds and bank notes of the Li family in Li Linglan's house, they couldn't help feeling cold inside.
They feel that this mandala is really terrifying, it can easily manipulate people and make them obediently give everything they have.
Li Lingmei supported her father and watched as the others were put in shackles and tied up in a bunch, as if they were tying zongzi.
The servant girl was sobbing in a low voice, mourning for her future fate.As for Li Houye and Mrs. Li, they were in the stage of drug addiction, and they kept yelling for snacks over there, with grim faces, and the blue veins on their foreheads were clearly visible.
The people from the household department disliked the two of them for being too noisy, so they cut them with one hand, making them faint, which can be regarded as relieving their pain.
Aunt Song's hair was in a messy bun, and the hairpins on her head were snatched by some petty officials who searched the family property, and her ears hurt—this was the wound caused by those government officials mercilessly pulling off her gold earrings.
Aunt Song looked at Li Lingmei, Li Wushi, and Li Siyu who were respectfully protected by several yamen servants, and hurriedly shouted: "I am innocent, please tell them that I don't know anything, let me go. "
Li Lingmei just thought it was ridiculous, Aunt Song had treated them like this all these years, how could she think that she would intercede for her.Their mother and daughter are indeed self-righteous in the same strain.
She even gave Aunt Song a lazy look, supported her mother, and was about to leave.
When Aunt Song saw this, deep resentment and viciousness flashed in her eyes.Why!Why do they have to be in prison, and their lives can't even be saved.But the three of them were able to leave safely with a large sum of money.
She screamed: "Li Lingmei, you unfilial daughter! You have killed the whole family of the Li family for your own benefit, and you have to die. All the ancestors of the Li family will wait for you underground! Will you There will be retribution!"
Li Lingmei stopped in her tracks, turned around, her eyes were cold, "It wasn't me who made the Li family like this, but your precious daughter. If you and my father didn't spoil Li Linglan out of her temper, how could she have the guts to collude with the enemy country?" , trying to overthrow our Great Chu Dynasty and control everyone with such harmful drugs."
"If the ancestors of the Li family knew about it underground, I'm afraid they would have jumped out of the coffin and strangled you mother and daughter to death."
Even if Li Lingmei was telling the truth, how could Aunt Song listen to her.Her face was contorted, and she was about to continue yelling.A yamen servant slapped him impatiently, and cursed: "You raised such a wolf-hearted daughter, you still have the intention to shout here, shameless!"
After slapping her, she directly picked up a rag, stuffed it into Aunt Song's mouth, and asked her to be escorted away quickly, so as not to continue making noise.
Li Lingmei took one last look at the plaque of the Hou Mansion, then turned and left with a trace of relief in her eyes.Although she was no longer the daughter of Hou Men, at this moment, she felt a burst of relief as if she had taken off a layer of restraint.
Her heart is very small, she can only pretend to be her elder brother, mother, and the loyal servant girl who has always been by her side.Although a few maids were also taken away, at most they would be re-sold, and their lives would not be in danger.Li Lingmei had already prepared the money to buy them back.
At this time, Lu Yiran, dressed in red, stepped out of a gorgeous carriage parked on the side of the road. She smiled softly, "You guys probably haven't found a house yet, right? With such a large amount of property , it’s not convenient for you to stay at the inn, why don’t you go to my place first.”
A look of gratitude appeared in Li Lingmei's eyes. She also had Zhuangzi under her name, and she originally planned to live there temporarily.Yiran must be aware of this, but he still invited them, but just to show his support and deter others.After all, she is not a concubine girl now, and her wealth is touching, and if it is not guaranteed, someone will plan to make such a large sum of money.
She nodded, her voice choked up, "thanks a lot."
It has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.
Lu Yiran blinked, and said, "You know it too, I'm careless, how can I expect these things. Yun Xi reminded me of this."
Li Lingmei was startled, and the smile on her face deepened.
Li Wu couldn't help showing a faint smile - no matter what, their life will never be more difficult than before.
……
Although the whole Li family was put into prison, the ministers had different opinions on how to deal with them.Some felt that it was enough to kill Li Linglan, the chief villain, while others felt that Li Linglan's crime was almost the same as rebellion, and the Li family could not be easily spared.
Chu Xiyuan had already known how to deal with the Li family, so he didn't say much, and took the ministers to see the plight of the prisoners who had run out of medicine in the sky prison. For a little medicine, they even Even behaviors like eating shit can be done.
Seeing this, these ministers couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts, and as long as they thought that they were being controlled, they might end up like this, and no one felt that they should let the Li family go.
In the end, from Mrs. Li to Aunt Song, they were all sentenced to be beheaded. The property of the Li family was confiscated, and the servants of the Li family were dragged to sell.
Li Lingmei also took the opportunity to buy some loyal servants, because of Lu Yiran, she didn't waste much money.
It's just that her reputation has worsened to some extent. Although she is said to be doing good things for the country and the people, some people think that she is too cold-blooded towards her father and grandmother.
Li Lingmei doesn't care about this, what is fame?At the beginning, her father loved his concubine and killed his wife, and everyone in the capital knew about it. At most, people in the capital only whispered a few words behind their backs. Her father, Aunt Song and others still lived happily.
From then on, Li Lingmei knew that benefits are the most important thing compared to the so-called reputation.
She also believes that the three of them will only have a better life in the future.
……
Nanling Palace.
"Brother, my good second brother was caught by Da Chu." Yuan Lingxi, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace uniform, looked at her royal brother with a smile, and did not hide her gloating in her tone.
"It seems that I really think highly of him. I thought he could really get the wrought iron method." Yuan Lingyu had a gentle smile on his face.
Yuan Lingxi said: "That Du Yunxi doesn't look like a fool at first glance, it's no wonder he was so easily calculated."
She wrinkled her nose slightly, and said: "It's just that she and that Yun Shen are really hateful, they teased and deceived us like that. That Yun Shen actually said that he was a little boy who was raised, and he didn't have any self-esteem of a big man."
Yuan Lingyu said: "When a man is willing to say this, it means that he really puts that woman in his heart."
After hearing this, Yuan Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and retorted, "You said it as if you are very experienced in this area, brother. Hmph, I think the girls outside are all deceived by your face." I thought her brother was a gentle and considerate person.
Pooh!How can a gentle and good person kick away a bunch of competitors and become the lord of Nanling.
Yuan Lingyu still smiled faintly, "At least he has more experience than you."
Yuan Lingxi didn't want to continue arguing with him on this aspect, so he simply changed the subject, "Second brother did such a thing, how should we explain to them?"
Yuan Lingxi really hates this second brother.She always thought hard to get her brother off the horse, and now she brought Nanling such a predicament.
Yuan Lingyu just rubbed the hair of his angry younger sister and said, "Don't worry, I already have an idea."
Looking at his familiar expression, Yuan Lingxi unconsciously settled the uneasiness in his heart, showing a bright smile, "Well, I believe in you. Brother is the most powerful!"
Yuan Lingyu said: "We can just use this opportunity to destroy that piece of mandala." In the entire Nanling, only Yuan Lingxi has the largest mandala flower field in his hand. Yuan Lingyu, who knows the effect of mandala, has long since Deliberately destroy this flower field.However, this flower field was specially left to Yuan Lingqi by the empress dowager at that time. For the sake of the so-called fame and filial piety, Yuan Lingyu really couldn't do anything without a reasonable reason.
He played with the jade pendant in his hand, and a pair of star-like eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
From the very beginning, when he went to Dachu, he didn't even hide his interest in wrought iron method, just to attract Yuan Lingyu.He knew exactly what the second brother was thinking.Ambitious, he would never let go of the opportunity to strengthen his own strength, and his attack on Du Yunxi was within his expectation.
He also arranged his own people around Yuan Lingqi.If successful, he can also get the wrought iron method.
If it fails, it can also use this matter to suppress Yuan Lingqi, making him completely unable to stand up.
No matter what the result is, he will not suffer.
Yuan Lingyu's mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
……
"So, the person who ordered Li Linglan was Yuan Lingqi, Prince An of Nanling?" Yun Xi asked with wide-eyed eyes.
Yun Shen nodded, "Yuan Lingqi has always wanted to be the lord of Nanling, but he missed the game, and Yuan Lingyu took the lead in the end, but until now he still has not given up on this idea, and is constantly looking for ways to expand his strength in private. It's just that his usual actions are quite secretive, and Yuan Lingyu can't catch his feet, and he can't convict him. He probably wants to use Li Linglan to control you, and the method of getting wrought iron can at least greatly improve him. The strength of an army assembled in private."
Yun Xi understood that political power came out of the barrel of a gun.
The corner of her mouth curled up, "Your Majesty will definitely lodge a serious protest against Nanling's actions. Yuan Lingqi's actions have shaken Da Chu's national foundation, and he didn't say no even if he bit down a piece of meat from Nanling." go out."
Yun Xi was quite pleased with this approach.After she crossed over, she was from Da Chu, so she would naturally consider Da Chu's interests.Not to mention, this Yuan Lingqi actually wanted her to become addicted to drugs.Thinking of this, Yun Xi wished he could cut this person into pieces.It's just that her rationality told her that it was really difficult for the other party to be the prince of a country.
Yun Shen's voice became more murderous, "However, how will Nanling deal with him? Since he dares to attack you, I will not let him go easily."
Even if it is the so-called prince, he will make him pay the price he deserves.He has many ways to make people unable to live or die.
Yun Xi was about to say something when she suddenly heard an exclamation, "Oh, Bai Xue, what are you doing? Don't throw this away! This is my sister's property, come back quickly!"
Yun Xi suddenly became nervous. Bai Xue was really the king of destruction in the family, and she was really worried that this fox would destroy important things if he was not careful.
She stood up quickly, "I'll go and have a look."
When Yun Xi followed the sound, she happened to see Bai Xue throwing a piece of black charcoal into the brazier. The charcoal looked very familiar.
Bai Xue was still wagging her tail to claim credit, as if she felt that she had done a good deed.
Yun Xi almost laughed angrily.The thing that looked like charcoal was one of the things she bought back when she went shopping with Yun Shen earlier.At that time, she studied it for a long time, but she couldn't find out what it was, so she simply put it away.
In the end, I don't know how Bai Xue found it, and threw it into the brazier as charcoal.
This little fox is really getting better and better.
Seeing Yun Xi's approach, Bai Xue yelled and rushed towards her, her long tail gently sweeping over Yun Xi's face.
Yun Xi grabbed his tail and was about to teach him a lesson when suddenly she smelled a sweet fragrance that she had never heard before.
I am on my period, I feel uncomfortable... I write so slowly, I just want to sleep...
