Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 102
Huo Mingzhu smiled at Su Rui approvingly, the ability to tell lies with open eyes needs to be practiced to be convincing.Su Ling got Huo Mingzhu's smile, her eyes became brighter and she looked completely complacent.

But Yu Tong didn't know why, seeing Huo Mingzhu being so polite, he hurriedly said: "Mingzhu, don't be so polite, I rarely use those rouge powders..."

Huo Mingzhu withdrew her gaze and put it on the chessboard again: "Cousin, you are so young and you haven't betrothed to anyone yet. My grandmother said that you should dress up more for a little girl, so that you can see that your appearance is more beautiful. The mood will get better and better, and secondly, if they meet someone they like, the first thing they will see will not be our heart, but our face, do you think this rouge and gouache are important?"

Yu Tong was taken aback for a moment, not knowing that Huo Mingzhu had such a reason, she really listened to it: "In this case, it is also the reason. But, Mingzhu, you have always lightly brushed your brows and never put on heavy makeup. With a good foundation, none of us girls would be envious."

Huo Mingzhu didn't deny Yu Tong's praise, she didn't want to appear hypocritical by denying it, she just sighed and said: "I heard from my grandmother that although my appearance is quite good, but in front of my dead mother, I don't deserve it." I was still young when she passed away, and I didn't remember her appearance at all, and now I often think about how beautiful she is..."

"It turns out that the eldest cousin is such a beauty..." Yu Tong couldn't think of it, but admired, "I saw Mrs. Lin at your wedding ceremony last time, she is also a beauty, even though she is old now, she is still cute You can see how overwhelming the country was back then. The Marquis of Pingyang is actually a class of beauties, so that little general Yunxi must be extremely handsome and beautiful, right?"

Thinking of Yun Xi, Huo Mingzhu smiled, nodded and said: "Yun Xi's beauty is not inferior even if the present prince and Ninth Prince are present, but ah, a beauty may not have a good home..."

Her mother, Lin Rujin, was beautiful and beautiful, but in the end she still couldn't get love and a good death. Lin Yunxi died in battle in the previous life, and died young, and her beauty couldn't save him. There are so many reasons.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu's tone was slightly sad, Yu Tong thought she was thinking of her mother who died young, and hurriedly said: "Mingzhu, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad, but fortunately, your cousin is your real aunt, it's better .In the future, you will definitely marry a prince or general."

"Auspicious words from my cousin..." Huo Mingzhu smiled, remembering Sulu's hasty appearance just now, she must have found something, and now she is wandering there impatiently.

"Cousin, look, it's time for lunch, we can't finish this game, why don't we just let it go and continue in the afternoon, how about it?" Huo Mingzhu suggested.

Yu Tong nodded hurriedly: "Of course it's good, so I'll let you go. I'll go back to Xiaocixuan to visit my aunt first, and see you at lunch."

"Okay." Huo Mingzhu sent Yu Tong away.

Seeing Yu Tong disappearing in front of the garden gate, Su Lan couldn't wait to ask for credit, and approached Huo Mingzhu mysteriously, and said, "Miss, I found out a terrible secret..."

Huo Mingzhu followed her into the back room and said, "Let's listen."

"Miss, do you know what that black, disgusting thing you dug up is? The doctor said, it's Ziheche, the placenta left by a woman after giving birth, and it can be used to cure infertility! But in In Dayong's law, this purple river cart is listed as a banned drug, unless the emperor pardons it, otherwise the purple river cart cannot be used as medicine, and anyone who dares to steal it will be punished in prison!" Su Lu said in one breath, She endured painstakingly along the way, but it suffocated her to death.

"Ziheche...Forbidden medicine..." Huo Mingzhu murmured after hearing this, everything seemed to come too easily, Lin Ruyi actually hit her blade because of forbidden medicine, she could die happily, Sealing the throat with a sword is enough for Lin Ruyi to be happy.

But...how is it enough?

A fatal blow is the greatest favor to an enemy.Huo Mingzhu didn't want to give Huo Zhengdelin Ruyi and others such a chance to solve it with a single knife. She had to cut their flesh with a blunt knife, piece by piece, until the flesh was bloody, and tortured them slowly. They were not allowed to do so. Die soon.

"Miss, do you think the general and the old lady will know when Madam is taking this banned drug? It's normal to use some forbidden drug and secret techniques in order to have a boy, so we don't have to meddle in other people's business, right?" A little worried, she said all the thoughts in her heart, but she still didn't know Huo Mingzhu's purpose.

After hearing Sulu's twittering, Huo Mingzhu regained consciousness and woke up from the dream: "Sulu, you girl is so confused, when did I say that I would put mother, father and even the general's house at a disadvantage? I just let you ask Be clear, so that you can prevent problems before they happen. Otherwise, think about it, if someone exposes the banned drugs to the court, wouldn’t our General’s Mansion suffer heavy damage?"

"So, is Miss going to... tell Madam about this?" Su Hui hesitated, then became anxious again: "What if Madam doesn't appreciate it? It's not a glorious thing to have a child. I'm afraid that Madam will hold grudges and make things difficult for Miss..."

Sulu is a good girl, and she never forgets to think about Huo Mingzhu. Huo Mingzhu doesn't intend to tell her all the facts, so she said something necessary: ​​"This is what I am worried about, so I will find a chance to talk to my mother alone. Chat, how about you, just keep your mouth open and don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I knew the lady didn't believe me, so I can find a needle and thread to sew my mouth shut, right?" Su Yu snorted, pursed her lips, and made a motion to seal her mouth.

Huo Mingzhu smiled and went to the vanity mirror to tidy her hair, Suhui hopped over to comb her hair, looked at Huo Mingzhu in the mirror and said, "Miss, I brought that porcelain pot back, we'd better bury it earlier Destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, otherwise, when someone sees you, you won’t be able to tell with how many mouths. Also, we didn’t dare to determine whether the wife is pregnant, but this time the wife is pregnant for the first time, and there is a girl to come Buried the medicine dregs of the purple river cart, this purple river cart is designed to treat infertility, my wife is not still taking the purple river cart tonic? Could it be that this purple river cart not only has the effect of curing infertility, but also guarantees the birth of a boy ?”

Look at a woman's imagination, just a clue, can come up with countless guesses and anecdotes out of thin air.

"Don't worry, Sulu, we have many opportunities to find out if the mother is pregnant. This is no ordinary joke, and we can't hide it from it." Huo Mingzhu laughed.

In fact, in Huo Mingzhu's heart, she wanted to find out if Lin Ruyi was pregnant. If not, she would be happy to hear about it. If so, as the eldest daughter, she would definitely be called Lin Ruyi because of the pregnancy The fetus is better than dead...
