The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 235 A Plan to Concubine De's Disruption (2)
"Big brother?" Concubine De was a little surprised.After all, the third elder brother used to be a princeling, and he and the elder brother can be said to be incompatible.Yinfei definitely didn't do this to help the third elder brother, who was it for?Eighth brother?Concubine De frowned, originally thought that Eldest Brother should have broken with Eighth Prince, could it be that this is just a trick for them to deceive the Crown Prince? "Big brother and eighth brother... How is their relationship recently?" Yinzhen said: "The relationship between big brother and eighth brother has been a little weak in recent years, and there has been no contact since Concubine Hui was grounded. This is by no means It may be a play. This is definitely not a play. There is one more thing..." Thinking of the scene of leaving Qianqingmen in the morning, Yinzhen frowned even tighter, "The starling actually asked the fourth brother to go to his house for a drink Tea." Normally, he might not have been so worried, but yesterday the old thirteen was injured by the people sent by Yinzhen, and his life and death are uncertain, so this morning the starling will invite the fourth brother to drink tea.Who will believe that there is nothing tricky in it?
Concubine De's complexion also became serious, she looked at Yinzhen seriously and said, "Old Thirteen..." It stands to reason that Yinxiang should have no physiology after such poisoning, but Thirteenth Prince's Mansion and Fourth Brother have not released it for a long time. The death of the old thirteen.If the old thirteen survived and was rescued, then they would probably have another mortal enemy.Concubine De secretly regretted the decision she made too lightly at the beginning, the plan that seemed to be seamless at first turned out to be full of dangers now.In case the matter is revealed, Concubine De dare not imagine the consequences, "Fourteen, you must act carefully in every way during this time. Don't let anything fall into the hands of the eighth and fourth." Yinzhen nodded and said "My son understands." Concubine De sighed wearily and said, "We were too careless at the beginning. It's fine if nothing happens this time. If something happens... I'm afraid it will be forever." Yinzhen held Concubine De With a firm hand, he said: "Don't worry, Er Niang, we'll be fine."

Concubine De looked at her son with some relief, touched Yinzhen's head and said: "Good boy, Er Niang has gone through a lot of hardships to get to where she is today. Everything Er Niang has done is for you." Yin Zhen said: "My son knows the painstaking efforts of Emiang."

"I'm telling you, Ma'am, the Fourteenth Fujin sent someone to see the Fourteenth Lord." The maid outside the door reported softly.Yinzhen's heart froze, no matter what happened, Fujin would never send someone into the palace to look for him.Glancing at Concubine De, he hurriedly said, "Let him in." After a while, a young eunuch hurried in, and Yinzhen's expression became more serious. This little eunuch was not from Fujin but his confidant.Impatiently waved his hand and said: "There is no need to salute, just tell me if you have anything to do." The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Go back to Lord Fourteen, and watch the news from the people in Lord Nine and Lord Eight's houses that they are looking for a A person named Chen Li."

"Chen Li? Who is that?" Yinzhen frowned.The little eunuch said: "It seems to be related to Thirteenth Lord's illness. The servant has been investigated carefully again, and got some news from the people under Jiu Ye. That Chen Li is a well-known master of poisoning in the world. I heard that What is his unique poison called seven-step heartbroken red and nine-grade ink blue? No one in the world can understand it." Hearing this, the two of them changed their colors, and Concubine De stabilized her expression and said: "Understood, you go down first." The eunuch quickly retreated, Concubine De grabbed Yinzhen and said: "Fourteen! We must find a way to find this Chen Li in front of the eighth and fourth!" Yinzhen was a little puzzled: "Emiang, what is wrong with this Chen Li?" Already?" Concubine De said with a pale face: "The two poisons you used before were made by this Chen Li. If he is found out..."

Yinzhen said: "So what if you find it out? How would he know that it was in our hands? By the way, Er Niang, Chen Li is a man in the world, how could you have his poison?"

Concubine De said: "There are so many people staring at us inside and outside the palace. It is not worth the loss to find other ones in case there are any clues left. Besides, it is useless in case the effect is not good. These two kinds of poisons are extremely powerful. Poison, even the imperial physician is helpless. It’s just that I don’t know how the old thirteen didn’t die.”

"Then... where did you get it? Have you ever had contact with Chen Li?"

Concubine De smiled lightly, and said: "That's right. I don't know this Chen Li. The poison... naturally came from someone else. I will take care of that person. Fourteenth, you should look for that Chen Li and leave it behind." It's always bad to have future troubles. Also, be careful of Lao Ba and the others, don't let them suspect you." Yinzhen nodded and said: "My son knows. My son... wants to visit Shisanfu."

Concubine De frowned and said: "The dying man went to see what he was doing? No bad luck."

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment and said: "Didn't Er Niang say that the poison was extremely powerful. Ninth brother and those people died of poison immediately, but the old thirteen has not responded yet. My son wants to find out the truth." Concubine De thought Liao thought about it and said, "It's fine to go and have a look. But you have to be very careful. The unfilial son of the fourth son was taught to be extremely treacherous by that bitch, so don't let him see any flaws."

"My son knows. My son has to go to work first. I'll come back tomorrow to greet Er Niang." Concubine De nodded and let Yinzhen go out.

In the main hall, Concubine De was left alone with her eyes fluctuating.Things that were no longer within her control disturbed her.Nothing can hinder her, absolutely nothing, "Qingmei, go send a letter to Alan. Her parents will take good care of her."

Side Hall of Chengqian Palace

Xue Baochai sat in front of the bronze mirror and stared blankly at the beautiful woman in the mirror. After so many years in the palace, she was still beautiful, but she felt that she was getting old all the time.In the past, people always heard that once entering the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, but she never took it seriously.The imperial palace is the most affluent place in the world. Although I am not from a noble family, although the Xue family dare not say that the wealth is incomparable to the country, they are also very rich.Few people in the world can compare to my appearance and talent, so I naturally want to go to the most affluent place in the world to be the superior person.But in the blink of an eye, it has been six or seven years since she entered the palace, and she realized that a place like the palace cannot go smoothly with beauty, talent and scheming. Without the support of an outstanding family background and power, any concubine in this palace can He crushed her with one finger.Remembering that Concubine De promised to help her back then, but until now she was still just a dispensable nobleman in Chengqian Palace, Xue Baochai gritted her teeth with hatred.It has been two months since the last time I saw the emperor.When Kangxi came to Chengqian Palace, there were not many people. Even if he came, most of them went to the imperial concubine's place. Even if she was the only noble person living in Chengqian Palace, it was not her turn to share the favor with the imperial concubine.
