Concubine Tang through space

Chapter 36

Su Lin and King Qi lived in peace all the way. When she hurried back to Chang'an, it was September 9. Before she entered the city, she parted ways with King Qi. She went to the military camp first to hand over the 28 people she brought back to Xuanjia. General Qin Qiong, who is currently sitting in the army, did not return to Prince Qin's Mansion until 15:30 in the afternoon. The first thing he did when he came back was to go to the main courtyard to pick up Li Kuan and others.

Seeing Li Kuan who was getting fatter again, the corners of Su Lin's mouth couldn't help twitching, feeling a little sour and relieved, whether it was Jing Liu Jingyan who took good care of him, or this kid was born with a big heart and was fatter. It's better than being thinner. After teasing Li Kuan for a while, Su Lin took a shower and listened to Lianniang's report on what happened in the mansion, especially Qiyuan, after she left for the past two months.

On the afternoon after Mei Xiang and Han Xiang formally confronted each other, the servant girl who tidied up Mei Xiang's room found a set of Su Lin's dowry headgear hidden in the bottom of the cabinet in Mei Xiang's room. That headgear was only worth a hundred taels of silver at most That's all, it's not precious in the palace, but when Lianniang learned of the situation, she was angry and felt that it was clearly Yang Mi who was slapping Su Ruren in the face, or there might be other plots, so she didn't prevent Mei Xiang from doing something that would hurt Su Ruren. For Lin's interests, she sent Mei Xiang to the butler for the crime of stealing the valuables from the master's house and punished her. Mei Xiang didn't make it through with fifty shovels. They asked the eunuchs and eunuchs to carry Mei Xiang's body out of the mansion with a mat and threw it on the mass grave.

After this incident, Hanxiang's work was obviously more meticulous and serious than before. Lianniang had a plan in her heart. Seeing that Hanxiang hadn't made a moth, she didn't go to frame Hanxiang casually because of the princess's face. She only regarded Hanxiang as Qi The ordinary maids in the courtyard are neither embarrassing nor important, but they will definitely not entrust Hanxiang to do things that are slightly more important.

After listening, Su Lin pondered, analyzed the pros and cons several times in her mind, got up after washing, got up and wiped the water on her body, changed into her pajamas and sat cross-legged on the bed, and sent the other maids and women away, leaving only Lian Niang. After a while, he said to Lianniang who was standing by the bed with her head bowed: "You take out Hanxiang's deed of prostitution and hand her over to the chief steward. If the chief steward asks about the vacancy of the maid in Qiyuan, you can just prevaricate it. Don't ask if you don't ask, don't mention it, don't bring other people back for now." Except Lianniang Jingliu Jingyan's deed of prostitution, she gave Lianniang the deeds of prostitution of other maids, wives, eunuchs and eunuchs in Qi Yuan.

As for Hanxiang herself, she didn't take it too seriously. Hanxiang is not Jinghong, and she has no right to get close to her, nor does she have the right to eat food from her. At present, she is not sure whether Hanxiang has hurt her, nor has Hanxiang There is no need to dispose of Han Xiang with the iron and steel evidence that has hurt her, but sending Han Xiang directly to Changsun's, no matter how high-sounding the reason, is actually to blatantly refute Changsun's face and let others watch the fun. Now she is not qualified to face the Changsun family head-on, and the Changsun family is trying to tolerate her for various reasons. There is no need to challenge the Changsun family, but there is no need for Hanxiang to stay in Qiyuan and send it to the big housekeeper. What is the reason? Not to mention, the chief housekeeper is from the Changsun family, and no matter how Hanxiang is arranged at that time, it will be the Changsun family's business.

Whoever is in charge of whoever's servant, let's pass a hand, don't need to be explicit, it's tacit, and it's in line with the rules.

Lianniang nodded. "yes."

"Go down."

Han Xiang was sent away every day, and within a few days, she was assigned by the big steward to manage the flower garden of Prince Qin's Mansion. She was still a second-class maid, and the Changsun family was more fond of nostalgia, so she wouldn't just dispose of her when she did something bad.

After hearing this, Su Lin put the matter aside, and didn't think about it any more. What she was thinking about now was that Yang Xi gave birth on October 10rd, which is around three o'clock in the morning after this morning. It took more than nine hours. A healthy baby boy, the eldest grandson announced on the spot that his name was Li Luo. As a child of the royal family, what gift she wanted to give Yang Xi and Li Luo was sure that it would not need to be too expensive. People read jokes.

Yang Xi passed out after seeing the baby after giving birth, and she didn't wake up until it was almost dark in the afternoon. She recovered a little bit of energy. She first looked at Xiao Li Luo, then after a little thought, she turned to He Niang and her confidants After issuing a series of orders for Yang's descendants to act, after the confidantes and maids left the room one by one, she forced herself to think about the mansion, most of her thoughts were undoubtedly occupied by Changsun's actions , but she was also a little distracted and asked how He Niang planned to deal with Lianniang who framed Mei Xiang to death, and to avenge Mei Xiang.

With a serious face, He Niang stood at the head of the bed, lowered her head slightly, put her hands on her abdomen, and silently recited the orders Yang Xixia gave her several times in her heart. The first one is to let prison officer Wu Master directly plant and frame Lianniang's son, and put him in prison. The child's body was collected, and after Lianniang lost her beloved son, as long as there was a slight mistake in handling things, the servants could also send him down to accompany Mei Xiang. At that time, even if Su Ruren wanted to avenge Lianniang and transfer his anger to Master Wu and related people, it would not matter. I'm afraid that the princess will intervene to find out the cause and effect of the matter and then tell Su Ruren the result. You will definitely face Su Ruren directly. Su Ru is weak but not easy. With an important mission, if Su Ruren suddenly conflicts with you and delays the prince's affairs, the servant girl will indirectly spoil the prince's affairs. I am afraid it will not end well. The second way the servant girl thinks is to let Lianniang's child Contaminated with smallpox, the servant found out that Lianniang had a neighbor's child who had been infected with smallpox, and it seemed that she would not be able to survive it. This matter would be done more covertly, and one person would be enough, and the evidence would be easily erased It is clean, easy to operate, and the possibility of being discovered is relatively extremely low, but the time is relatively long, and it is not easy to do anything else in the middle. Whether Lianniang's son lives or dies depends on God's will."

Yang Xi's body is still in severe pain, and she has thought about too many things since she woke up. She is a little tired, and her beautiful face is a little pale. After hearing this, she closed her eyes for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Use the second one first. Let’s find a way, if both Lianniang and her son are infected with the fact that they can’t make it through, it’s over, otherwise we will have a chance to send their mother and child down in the future.” Li Luo, who was squeezed out of her stomach, was a healthy boy, even though She didn't send anyone out to investigate and knew that there must be too many people staring at her actions now. If she made a slight mistake, she might be doomed. The prince only promised not to touch her child, but revealed that he would protect Li Luo, Sui. What does it mean to be the only bloodline of the Yang family?

However, she has thought about this situation since she was pregnant, and she has already made arrangements for it. She can understand He Niang's concerns. Now the Changsun family and some aristocratic families are waiting to cut her power. In case she spoils the prince's affairs, Regardless of the size of the matter, she will probably be fine, but she will definitely push He Niang to appease the prince's anger and seek a certain degree of stability and balance. It is impossible to get her confidant in order to avenge a slave, besides She didn't take this matter to heart at all, and she didn't plan to have any confrontation with Su Lin. She just wanted the life of Lianniang, a slave. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Xi said again: "Go and follow me Take a thousand taels of gold leaves, ten bolts of snow silk, and two sets of colorful jade heads from the Western Regions and send them to Su Ruren from the storeroom." When Mei Xiang apologized for 'stealing' Su Lin's dowry, Su Lin could understand what she meant. It's best to worry about Mei Xiang's affairs and relax your vigilance a little bit. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, she has already done a good job on the surface, and it is relatively easy to clean herself up with some means when something happens.

He Niang nodded yes, exited the room and led the maids to choose things and headed towards Qi Yuan.

While teasing Li Kuan to call his mother, Su Lin, who was casually choosing a gift for Yang Xi, was a little surprised when she heard Jing Liu said that He Niang had brought a cart full of things to Qiyuan. Is it worth Yang Xi sending so many things here?However, when she saw the colorful jade face that He Niang specially brought out, she vaguely understood what Yang Xi meant. The gifts from the royal residence were put into the treasury, and by the way, He Niang also brought back the similarly selected gifts to congratulate Yang Xi on giving birth.

In the following days, Yang Xi and the Changsun family, who took over the manpower left by Li Shimin, took more frequent actions inside and outside the palace, and the methods they used were strengthened from time to time. After Hanxiang left one after another, it became the quietest place in the palace, and even the number of slaves who made mistakes in doing things decreased drastically, so Su Lin, who had no intention of intervening in the war between Yang Xi and the Changsun family, and who basically didn't understand anything, felt the feeling of entering the palace. Since then, he has been at peace unprecedentedly, and his mind has been separated a little bit from taking care of Li Kuan and cultivating to refining medicine.

She took out half of all her money and gave it to Lianniang to buy the herbs on the Guyuandan prescription and most of the common herbal seeds on the three prescriptions from various sources. The remote and uninhabited room was dug and paved and turned into an indoor field, except for a few inconspicuous ones that were planted in the spiritual field in the Hunyuan space from the herb seeds bought by Lianniang. Most of the remaining repeated seeds were planted in this indoor field by her maids who seemed to be serious but casually, and sent Laxiang, one of the only second-class maids around her, to specialize Guard the field and report to her every three days to achieve the effect of deception.

Qianxi, who was finally brought out from the pressure of the phoenix and slowly relieved, saw Su Lin's actions and laughed unceremoniously. "In the current weather, if you don't water any water from the spiritual spring, it's considered good luck for these seeds to survive a few plants."

After finishing the indoor field, Lianniang bought almost all the herbs on the Guyuandan prescription. After Su Lin watched the process of boiling the medicine on the Guyuandan prescription over and over again, she was ready to start refining the medicine. In other words, while taking Jing Liu Jingyan and a group of maids carrying herb bags to occupy the largest medicine stove in the pharmacy of King Qin's Mansion, she consciously replied to Qian Xi who was always by her side: "You know What, I opened up the indoor field purely to cover up my purpose of buying seeds, to make others think that I am just interested in planting medicine and medicine, and spend money on it because I am bored, including the purpose of making medicine now, those who It doesn't matter if the seeds can live or not." It doesn't matter if they are all dead, just in line with her level as a junior medical student.

Spend a lot of money to buy herbal seeds but did not take any action, or all the herbal seeds were planted by her in the space spirit field, and they disappeared on the surface. With her current power, the ability to hide things can be shown, no one doubts it. What's so strange is that she poured some spiritual spring water in the indoor field to get a little finished herbal medicine, which is also very abnormal in this weather. It is not worth the loss if people see the clues and then become suspicious.

Su Lin stood in front of the medicine stove, watching the maidservant busily tidy up the stove, firewood, etc., and took out the yellow pill prescription that had been put in the sleeve long ago, which appeared after a long time, and looked at On the flat place where the six thumbtack holes were repaired by Qianxi using spells, she thought about taking out the three prescriptions and handing them over, saying that they were left to her by her master. The possibility of being suspected of hiding should be smaller.

Rare things are more expensive, and on the other hand, precious things are always relatively rare, which is normal.

Qian Xi looked at Fang Zi with her head hooked, and nodded at Su Lin's so-called cover-up, thinking of the girl who was scared to death by her, she felt a little shy, and felt that some people in this place were smart in the city. Not weak, but too small-minded.

It took 2 taels of silver to buy the herbal seeds, and 24 taels of silver for the complete medicinal materials required for six sets of Guyuan Dan. He also completely failed to refine and burned 4 taels of silver in vain.

Under the slightly worried eyes of many maids and women, Su Lin stared at the medicine stove for a full quarter of an hour in a daze, trying to learn from the pain and compare the process of making her own medicine with that of Gu Yuandan's recipe. After trying several times, I tried the second and third herbs, but it still failed.

The concoction representing a huge amount of silver was poured out in such a short period of time, Su Lin's hand holding the elixir prescription trembled a little.

Since she was born, Qianxi knew that cultivation is an extremely money-consuming behavior, especially if she wants to use pills, weapons, etc. in the cultivation process, unless she is very rich and powerful, she has to tie her head to the waist of her trousers to fight Fighting, her family is not able to provide her alchemy and refining equipment even if her family has a long history of cultivation, so although she got a lot of things from the family, most of them were taken from others with all their efforts. This is also one of the reasons why she agrees with Su Lin staying in this palace. It is a bit shameful for a monk with good qualifications to be a concubine for a mortal. , but the so-called embarrassment also has a limit. If Su Lin is always a low-level monk, then in the future, it will indeed be a small stain in front of other monks. She will gossip about some monks. Many low- and middle-level monks are also very gossipy, but If Su Lin can rely on the emperor's wealth to cultivate beyond the low-level level and reach the middle-level monk, then she is not ashamed, but a brave man, worthy of respect and emulation.

The so-called humiliation process is always only aimed at the weak. No matter how unbearable the cultivation process of the strong is, it is just a process, and it may even become an object for the weak to imitate, but it will not bring any negative impact to the strong.

Seeing Su Lin's eyes were a little red, Qianxi didn't think so but stood up and comforted Su Lin from the perspective of a friend. "Ahem, this failure is not a blow. Look at your other recipes. It costs millions of taels of silver to make one. Every time you refine it for the first time, you must refine it several times. , when the time comes, you will lose several million taels of silver at a time, and you just hug the stove and cry? How useless..." Besides, she deeply felt that Su Lin should cooperate with the person who bears the fate of dragon and phoenix, and she Thinking about it alone, financial resources, manpower and material resources are limited, and they cannot be wasted at all.

Su Lin turned her head and stared at Qianxi who comforted Qianxi who said it like a curse, she let out a long sigh of relief, closed her eyes and clenched her fists, and ordered for a moment: "Except for Jing Liu, everyone in the pharmacy will be released. "

After driving everyone out and finding out a few people who were hiding in the corner of the pharmacy, the pharmacy was cleaned up. Jing Liu took over the job of the fire girl and carefully added firewood to the stove. Su Lin thought about the three refining processes. After comparing the medicinal herbs needed on one side, the fourth brewing was started, and the space spirit spring water was used instead of ordinary well water. This time, the elixir balls were successfully refined.

But Su Lin held a pill that was more than [-]% the size of a thumb and was gray-brown in volume, and asked Qianxi consciously with uncertainty. "Qianxi, do you think these pills can be eaten?" According to the detailed explanation on the prescription, a complete pair of medicinal materials can be refined into ten pills, and the successful finished Guyuan Dan pills should be white in color. These ten pills Only about [-]% of the volume is white, is it really not a problem to eat it?
Qianxi leaned closer and looked at herself, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I suggest you not eat it, that disgusting grayish-brown thing is the impurity of the elixir, let alone whether it is poisonous or not, this kind of thing is deposited in the meridians There is absolutely no benefit in having more.”

Su Lin nodded in agreement with Qianxi's words, and asked Jing Liu to go to the material library in the side of the pharmacy to get ten porcelain vases specially filled with medicinal pills, put nine of them aside, and she put the ten pills, whether they were elixir or poison, Put the elixir into a porcelain bottle and hand it to Jing Liu, and then refined the remaining two sets of medicinal materials in one go.

As a result, Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The ball made from the fifth batch of medicinal materials was [-]% white in volume and [-]% grayish brown. It was obviously relatively successful. The pill made from the last batch of medicinal materials was [-]% white in color. , Less than [-]% of the volume is gray-brown impurities, Su Lin tasted one immediately, the pill melted in the mouth, the whole body warmed up for a while, and the mental head was obviously a little better, did not feel any discomfort, it was exactly what was recorded in the prescription The potency of the finished pill.

Asked about Jing Liu's time, and learned that it was around Chou time (1:00 at night), Su Lin twitched her mouth, packed up the pills, and asked someone to come in to clean up the medicine residue and other things in the pharmacy and let Jing Yan After checking it carefully and making sure that there were no traces left to tell others, he led a group of tired maids, women, eunuchs and eunuchs back to the Qi Yuan. On the way, he couldn't help feeling that boiling medicine was really expensive.
