The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 308 The Tranquility Before the Storm

Barrages kept flashing in Yun Xi's mind: "My mother-in-law is really amazing!"

"I remember, you said that Yun Mu was injured on the battlefield 18 years ago, so it was difficult for him to have an heir."

When Yun Xi recalled this incident, it was also because of the testimony of Imperial Physician Hua that Yun Mu knew that Yun Cao had cuckolded him.

Physician Hua stroked his white beard and said, "I just told Yun Mu."

When he talked about Yun Mu, a slight disgust flashed in his eyes, "If you tell Yun Mu that he was drugged 22 years ago, maybe he will think of that girl Zhiyun." From the tone of Imperial Physician Hua Listen, he was very familiar with Meng Zhiyun, as if he was talking about his junior.

Yun Xi estimated the time, which means her mother-in-law unceremoniously drugged Yun Mu after giving birth to Yun Shen.Judging from this matter, she really didn't believe how much Meng Zhiyun had affection for Yun Mu.

Wait, she suddenly remembered that Yun Mu had a concubine later, but the concubine's biological mother was so ignorant of her duty that she actually bullied Yun Shen, who lost her mother at that time, which made Chu Xiyuan furious at that time, and directly gave Bai Ling one.

She couldn't help but get weird. That bastard is not Yun Mu's son, is it?Thinking about it this way, Yun Mu really has a green head... It seems that her mother-in-law has more means than she imagined.

Even though he was miserable, as long as Yun Xi thought of the Meng family, she couldn't feel sympathy at all.

Yun Shen's expression didn't change when he heard such an old secret. Yun Xi suspected that he had already been mentally prepared.

Yun Xi said: "Why did Physician Hua tell us this at this time?"

Physician Hua looked at Yun Shen, and said meaningfully: "Zhi Yun knew what Yun Mu did before she died, and she left a lot of secret hands to let him get the retribution she deserved. The one I can't let go of is you."

Yun Shen was silent for a while, then said, "I know."

Yun Xi asked: "Are you going to go back to your hometown on the official road?"

Physician Hua shook his head, "Even if we go back to our hometown, we may not be able to live a peaceful life. It's better to be with Meng Liang."

It's good for Yun Xi to think about it, if she is with her little uncle, there is no need to worry about the safety of Imperial Physician Hua.Speaking of which, the imperial physicians of the palace knew a lot of secrets, and there were even incidents of imperial physicians dying in accidents after returning home.

Imperial Physician Hua has been in the palace for so long, and she has come into contact with some secrets to some extent, so it is always good to take precautions.

"I'll send someone to take you there." Yun Shen said concisely.

Imperial Physician Hua smiled, "I originally planned to go with the Escort Bureau. If I had your escort, I would save a lot of effort."

Physician Hua was not polite to them.

Yun Xi didn't forget to prepare some things for him, but he didn't need money.Physician Hua had been an imperial physician in the palace for decades, and the rewards accumulated over the years were enough for him to buy a thousand mu of land to support his old age.According to Imperial Physician Hua, he planned to go back to open a pharmacy and take in a few more apprentices, so as not to bring his life's medical skills into the coffin for nothing.

What Yun Xi mainly prepared for him were some more precious medicinal materials, but these things were not easy to buy outside.For example, 50-year-old ginseng, more than [-]-year-old snow lotus, and good-looking blood bird's nest, these things are the most nourishing for the body.

Since Imperial Physician Hua wanted to be neighbors with Meng Liang, Yun Xi also prepared a gift for Meng Liang.

……

Because of Yun Mu's matter, she and Yun Shen suddenly kept a low profile, basically clicked on the posts handed out from outside, and the number of times they went to the academy changed from the original daily to once every three days.

Of course, Yun Xi's external reason was to help her two younger sisters prepare dowry. Yun Yao was getting married at the end of the year, and Duo Duo was getting married at the beginning of next year. The time was really rushed.In addition, in the eyes of everyone, both of them are very good candidates to marry, so naturally there are more things to prepare.

In fact, Yunyao and Douduo can take care of the dowry matters by themselves, and Yun Xi only focuses on investigating Yinzhu.If she hadn't found out the murderer behind her earlier, she would have felt as if she was being stared at by a cobra, with a light on her back.

She doesn't want to be vigilant every day, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Liqiu didn't let go of any clues, and soon found Yinzhu's family.

She reported to Yun Xi: "I didn't expect that Yin Zhu's elder brother and sister-in-law hadn't left the capital yet. Yin Zhu's mother fell ill, and her sister-in-law went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, so she missed something."

Li Qiu paused, and said: "It's just that I suspect that the other party missed the trace on purpose. The other party is too deliberate, and has passed through the Wanshiwu several times."

"Are you going to lead us there?"

Yun Xi smiled lightly, "If that's the case, there should be a trap buried there."

Li Qiu nodded, and said: "Their family... lives in a house in the suburbs. I asked someone with good lightness skills to investigate and found that there were signs of ground breaking a few days ago."

Yun Xi rested her cheeks, "Maybe there are quite a few institutions waiting for us inside."

She said: "We just pretend we don't know about it and see what the other party does."

Li Qiu nodded, intending to teach his subordinates to be smarter.

Yun Xi did not forget to tell Yun Shen about this, and Yun Shen said, "I'm afraid that what is buried in that house is not a mechanism, but gunpowder." A bit of sarcasm.

"Gunpowder?" Yun Xi was stunned for a moment. Since she took out the gunpowder formula, Yun Shenjin offered it to Chu Xiyuan, and Chu Xiyuan hired a gunpowder department to take charge of it. Those who knew the formula included her. Including Yun Shen, there should be no more than five people, in order to achieve the best secrecy effect.

Yun Shen picked up the teacup, his bony fingers became more and more white and jade-like under the soft light, with an unreal beauty, "A few days ago, someone secretly replaced ten gunpowder in the Gunpowder Department. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's Coming for us."

Ten gunpowder?

Yun Xi felt a bit of a toothache—even if she and Yun Shen were good at kung fu, if it really exploded, they might not be able to save their lives.

"Don't worry, those gunpowder... are just fakes that I deliberately made, and they can't be ignited at all." Yun Shen took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "A while ago, some of my subordinates secretly told me that some people in the gunpowder department were insinuating Regarding the matter of gunpowder, I deliberately made some fake ones to give them a chance to steal it."

"If they light that gunpowder, at best it will come out with some stench."

Yun Xi said: "I heard that Cao's body after the abolition is not as good as going forward."

After the imperial physician in the palace diagnosed her, she said that she was just procrastinating and could only live for another year or two at most.

Thinking of the recent small actions against them and the disabled body, Yun Xi couldn't help but suspect that the other party was planning to drag them into the water before they died.Their investigation into the poisoning of Chu Xiyuan by Wei Hai and Imperial Physician Li earlier had some clues, and they finally found out about the deposed empress Cao.The reason why Mrs. Cao was able to do these tricks in the cold palace was because Concubine Shu helped cover up the traces of the follow-up and lead the evidence to the third and fourth princes.

It's funny to say that Concubine Shu fought Cao Shi all her life, but in the end they joined forces and cooperated.

So far, Chu Xiyuan still acted weak and did not arrest Wei Hai and Li Mu.

After the two had a discussion, Yun Xi also wrote all the evidence collected into a notebook, and asked Yun Shen to pass it to Chu Xiyuan when he entered the palace the next day.

……

Just as they had guessed, Yinzhu's sister-in-law noticed that there was no movement in the Yun family, as if she hadn't noticed her, and appeared more frequently.

If Yun Xi hadn't greeted Yang Shi, who was taking care of Yun Mu in the Yun Mansion, Yang Shi would have sent someone to arrest their family long ago.

They were just clowns, Yun Xi really didn't bother to talk to them.She is just waiting silently now, waiting for a chance to catch them all.

This opportunity came sooner than expected.

At the beginning of March, the concubine of the deposed prince Chu Yu gave birth to a son, and this is Chu Yu's only heir.

Chu Xiyuan ordered a banquet to be held in the palace to celebrate the birth of the emperor's grandson.

His decree made the ministers of the whole court a little puzzled. You must know that Chu Tianzhan, the eldest son of the third prince, was born. Although Chu Xiyuan sent a lot of gifts, he would not hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate. .

For a while, everyone couldn't help but waver.

As for Yun Xi, after she received the order, she was busy fully armed.

　Rolling around, something is not going smoothly in the back... I am sorting out the ending plot
