Flowers are expensive

Chapter 443 The Silent Temple Scandal 1
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that she was frightened by what happened last night and felt uneasy, that's why she had a nightmare. Don't worry, Mr. Zhao Xun has already ordered that in the future, your slaves will taste everything you eat first. "

"It's not a long-term solution to be on guard like this. Who on earth wants to harm people from our You Palace?" Xixi's insomnia last night was also because of thinking about this matter.

Xin'er supported Xixi and got down: "Leave these things to Mr. Bingcan and the others to think about! By the way, Ping'er from Yin's mansion came before and said that since Mrs. You was ill, the tea party would be declined for two days. God will do it again."

"How does she know that the nurse is unwell?"

"Did you forget?" Xin'er said while changing Xixi's clothes, "I originally went to Jingyin Temple to hold a tea party the day after tomorrow, but I agreed that Mrs. You would go to the Yin Mansion again today to finalize all the tea party matters But when the incident happened last night, Mrs. You sent someone to tell Concubine Yin early in the morning. Concubine Yin heard that she was not feeling well, so she specially sent Pinger over to have a look. She was going to visit you, but you He was still asleep, so he didn’t dare to be alarmed.”

"Is there any movement at Jinghu Pavilion?" Xixi was still thinking about the hanging mirror last night.She herself was hanged before, and she knew the feeling of dangling in mid-air, so she also broke into a cold sweat for the mirror stage.

Xin'er said: "Your maidservant hasn't left the house yet! What's going on at Jinghu Pavilion?"

"Oh, it's nothing, hurry up and comb my hair, sort out the rest of the registration forms, I have to go to the workshop!"

When Xixi was having breakfast, Zhao Xun came over.After taking her pulse, Zhao Xun said that she had a little heart fire and it was not appropriate to work too hard.She asked how the mirror stand was doing.Zhao Xun said: "Now he is under house arrest in Jinghu Pavilion again. Lian Xin was arrested last night and locked up in Youguan."

"I always thought it didn't look like the stage did it."

"Whether she is the poisoner or not, she has violated the rules of the palace by hiding someone who is harmful to the master in the palace without authorization. Brother Bingcan must be punished. Empress, are you going out today?"

Xixi finished the last sip of porridge and said, "Yes, today I made an appointment with Sister Cuiyue to meet all the matchmakers in the city, and talk about visiting people."

"Your Majesty, both Wuye and Mrs. Zhuang are still sick, so take a few more people out and be more considerate."

"Understood, by the way, Mr. Zhao Xun, did Zhao Yuanyin come back with a message? According to the schedule, he should have arrived in Bianjing City, right? Didn't he say that as soon as he arrived in Bianjing City, he would fly a pigeon to send a letter back to report safety? You and Bing Shuai, did you get it?"

"Uh..." A trace of embarrassment swept across Zhao Xun's face, he nodded and smiled and said, "I think I should have received it in the past two days. Master will meet many people when he arrives in Beijing, and he hasn't sent the letter for a while." Coming back is also a common thing. Don't worry about your empress, the master will be fine."

Xixi nodded and said, "That's fine, remember to tell me when he comes back from delivering the letter."

Zhao Xun then left the East Courtyard and returned to Youguan.Bingcan was also there, seeing him, he asked: "Just went to check the pulse?"

Zhao Xun sat down opposite Bing Can and said: "Well, my lady is fine, maybe she was a little scared last night, and she was a little angry. However, she asked about the master."

Bing Can stopped the brush, raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"

"It's just perfunctory anyway." Zhao Xun frowned slightly, looked at Bing Can with a puzzled look and asked, "Brother Bing Can, where do you think the master is going? Why didn't you arrive at Bianjing City on time? Logically speaking, it is The emperor summoned him, and he would not refuse to go unless there was something absolutely necessary."

"Maybe I have thought about everything you have thought about. After receiving the letter from Feige from Prince Qi's mansion last night, I have already sent people to look for it along the way. But I believe that Yuan Yin should be fine. Even if he is ambushed halfway, he will I can handle it. Maybe something important was delayed on the way. Liang Xixi can't let Liang Xixi know about it for the time being, so as not to worry about her having a child."

"I know, but I can't hide it for a few days! The master promised her, and he will be back in half a month. After half a month, he won't be seen again, so she can afford to be suspicious."

Bing Can nodded worriedly and said: "I hope the people I send out can contact Yuan Yin sooner. I always feel that he is fine, and it should be delayed by something. Even if Liang Xixi asks, you It can only be said that he was delayed in Beijing, you know?"

"understood."

"Recently, let the spies follow her, don't make any mistakes. I guess Yuan Yin was ambushed, so we should be more careful."

"Do you believe Lian Xin's words? If it wasn't for him and Banna Jingtai, who would it be? We have checked everything in the palace. It is difficult for people outside the palace to sneak in and poison me. Even I am confused. This Who is the poisoner?"

Bingcan frowned and said: "At least you can be sure that the poison will not go into the pot of lychee juice by itself. If it is poisonous, there will be someone who poisoned it. It is not someone from the palace, nor is it someone who sneaked in in the middle of the night. Would that be possible?" Is it someone who has been in contact with the palace during these days?"

One sentence reminded Zhaoxun, Zhaoxun felt awakened, and hurriedly said, "It's possible. But, how did the poisoner do it?"

"Didn't you notice? The poisoner has no target. It's like casting a net to catch fish. Although I'm still not sure who it is, I know that this person's methods are very clever, and he is almost going to cheat the world."

"Brother Bingcan already has someone to suspect?"

Bingcan nodded lightly, dipped his finger in water, and wrote a word on the table.Zhao Xun was startled at first, then calmed down.Bing Can said: "There is no evidence for this matter, and it is estimated that there is no evidence to be found. It is enough for you and me to know."

"Then I'm really curious. How did the poison get into the lychee soup? Is there really some kind of magic?"

Bingcan smiled contemptuously and said, "I don't believe in spells, I must have used some opportunistic method. If I can't figure it out, then I'll ask her herself."

Xixi didn't pay much attention to Yuan Yin's affairs these two days, because she was busy arranging for matchmakers to come to see people.In order to prevent the matchmakers from accepting red envelopes as shoddy ones, she implemented a reward system. Whoever the matchmaker recommends wins will receive a large reward afterwards.So the matchmakers put in all their energy and went to see the list one by one according to the assigned list, trying to choose the best one.

Two days later, You Xian'er's body recovered as before, and the matter of the tea party was brought up again.On the morning of the second day of this month, You Xian'er took a group of women from the mansion to the south gate.On the way, Cuiyue who was waiting at the door got into Xixi's carriage.

After Cuiyue settled down in the carriage, Xixi asked her, "Is the shopkeeper not going?"

"She said it's not interesting, it's better to stay in the shop and watch!"

"I've been busy since I opened it. Today, it's easy for a bunch of people to go out to have fun. She won't appreciate it."

"Maybe I'm in a bad mood."

"Is the shopkeeper in a bad mood?"

Cuiyue smiled and said: "You have been busy with the feast recently, why do you care about her? I look like she has something on her mind. After all, she is such a big girl, how can she have nothing to do? Furu is also fast Twenty? Why didn’t the family make a marriage proposal? It’s not easy for me to ask her.”

"Sightseeing! There are a lot of people in Longquan Station in Chengdu who want to marry her, but she can't see any of them. Usually, when I was in Longquan Station, many young masters from Chengdu came to propose marriage, and she refused all of them. Oh, otherwise, it would be nearly twenty and not get married! Hey, sister Cuiyue, do you think the shopkeeper has taken a fancy to someone?"

Cuiyue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It seems to me that several times I settled accounts with me and reported wrong numbers! Even Lingqiu finds it strange, he is usually shrewd, why do he keep making mistakes recently? I also asked her jokingly, and she only said that she was worried about the business at home, nothing else. But I looked at the ledger sent from Longquanyi, the business is going well, nothing happened."

Xixi covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Hey, tell me, which young master is so lucky? To be able to be spotted by our shopkeeper, hehe..." Before she finished laughing, the carriage suddenly stopped slowly down.When Xin'er in the same car was about to raise the curtain to ask questions, someone lifted the curtain first, poked his head in and said with a smile: "Sisters-in-law, are you going to the tea party? Why don't you bring me along... Uh... Shopkeeper Long Is there?"

This reckless person is Qixiang.He originally wanted to joke with Xixi, but suddenly he saw Cuiyue sitting inside, the smile on her face froze a bit, and her tone of voice changed a lot.Seeing him, Cuiyue seemed a little embarrassed, smiled at him perfunctorily, and then looked away.

Xixi took out the small pillow on his waist and threw it at Qi Xiang with a smile, "Where did you go last night? You have dark circles under your eyes! Hurry up and go back to the palace to rest! This is our women's tea party, what with you?" What does a big man have to do with it? Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's going to be blocked!"

Qixiang glanced at Cuiyue out of the corner of his eye, smiled and joked with Xixi, then put down the curtain and left.The carriage started slowly again, and Xixi took the small pillow from Xin'er and put it on her waist as usual: "That Dong Guo Qixiang, can you marry a beautiful concubine? I don't stay at home all day, and I'm always in bed." It's floating outside!"

An inexplicable smile floated on Cuiyue's face and said: "He is a little prince, it's common sense to like to play, isn't it? Marrying a beautiful concubine back is just to annoy the one at home and continue the incense or something. How can I accept it?" What about his heart? Those who love to play still love to play."

Xixi turned her head and smiled at Cuiyue: "Hey, sister Cuiyue, you seem to know Qixiang very well!"

Cuiyue smiled lightly, and said without changing her face: "Have I seen too many men? Needless to say, in the business world, I have seen a lot of dudes like Dong Guo Qixiang, so I don't understand anything. "

"Actually, our little Qi can be regarded as a conscientious dandy, at least he won't step on two boats at the same time! After playing with one, kick one, then find another one, kick and find another, find and kick again!"

The four people in the carriage all laughed.Before he knew it, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Nancheng.That was the meeting point, where the carriages of all those who were going to the tea party at the Temple of Silence met.Afterwards, starting with Yin Luo's carriage, followed by the carriage of Prince You's Mansion, a group of more than ten carriages slowly and mightily drove out of the city, towards the foot of Jingyin Temple Mountain.

The tea party was originally scheduled to be three days, one day for preparation, one day for worshiping Buddha, and one day for teaching.For the sake of safety, the entire Jingyin Temple was strictly guarded by people sent by Bingcan.After all the female relatives and maidservants who participated in the tea party went up the mountain, the entrance of the mountain was sealed off, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Jingyin Temple is seldom visited by so many people at the same time, so the originally quiet temple seemed quite lively. It didn't feel like a solemn Buddha tea party, but a rare meeting for female relatives.After entering the temple and getting acquainted with each other, worshiping Buddha, chatting and chatting, visiting the back mountain and visiting the back mountain, it seems to have become an autumn outing for women's relatives.

The first thing You Xian'er remembers is the vegetable garden in the back mountain, which is her usual favorite.After chatting with Yin Luo and the headmaster, she took Xixi and others to the back mountain.When he was about to reach the small gate at the back of the mountain, he only heard Achana's voice from the front: "I told you to get a cloak, what are you talking about?" When I was at the foot of the mountain just now, Xixi saw Achana, it was Yin Luo next post to invite her.Yin Luo didn't specifically explain to You Xian'er why Achana was invited, so You Xian'er didn't ask much, just pretending that she didn't exist.
