Chapter 71 The Secret Meeting
Outside the Chonghua Palace, a plump woman stood silently under the big locust tree.

At this time, the sky above the head was already starry and the moon was setting, and the clouds were as dark as darkness. Only the occasional fireflies flying by in the grass vaguely reflected the calm face of this person.

She stared fixedly at the front, and a figure similar to her own age came around Yingying. This person was Si Shansi's Aunt Liu.

She walked closer, looked up at the woman, it was Wen Po who had delivered Feng Zhiyan that day, and Aunt Qiao, the pharmacist in charge of the pharmacy department, immediately showed a humble attitude.

"I met Aunt Qiao."

"There is no need to be too polite, since you and I are now working for His Highness King Yan, you are good sisters." While speaking, Aunt Qiao had already helped Aunt Liu up, "My little princess of the concubine Yan, I still need medicine to stabilize her for a while. , After the Double Ninth Festival, premature labor can be completely confirmed."

"Yes, everything is arranged by my aunt." Aunt Liu lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's just that Doctor Lu..."

"Since the concubine recognizes the concubine, the people of the Lu family are on the same boat."

After hearing Aunt Qiao's words, Aunt Liu nodded emphatically.

They seemed to remember something again, and were about to pray again, but suddenly a series of small footsteps flashed past their ears, and the two of them hid in the bushes behind the tree.

Two palace ladies holding lamps passed by.

"Have you heard? The fourth daughter of the Xie family who drowned was originally dedicated to the Holy Majesty by Concubine Xie after the Mid-Autumn Festival fire show."

"Really? It's a pity to die now."

"It's a pity, it's not like you don't know that the master of the sixth house is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the new year. Mrs. Rong was restrained a few days ago. Concubine Xie Guifei is already in the limelight. With Miss Xie Si, wouldn't the Wang family be even more disadvantaged?"

The young maid pondered for a moment, then asked again:
"According to what you said, it's fortunate that the fourth daughter of the Xie family was examined, and this matter was recognized by Concubine Xie. Otherwise, wouldn't it be that Princess Yan was inexplicably blamed?"

"You don't understand." The slightly older court lady lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "At this moment, people are all stiff. Was she broken by a man, or something else... With only one mouth of Mrs. Wen, who can go to the coffin to look again?"

The young court lady stared and whispered: "No way? Then Po Wen can still deceive the Queen Mother?"

"A sister I know in Cishou Palace secretly told me that Xie Yingying actually likes the King of Yan, and the Prince Yu's mansion scolded the princess. It's really hard to say what's going on."

After finishing speaking, the elderly court lady paused again: "However, once this happened, the queen mother is the biggest winner. Otherwise, how could she easily believe the one-sided words of Mrs. Wen? It's not sure that Mrs. Wen, maybe she is What about the Empress Dowager's people?"

After finishing speaking, the two maids looked at each other and smiled, turned around the corner and disappeared into the night.

The lights gradually faded, and the surroundings returned to tranquility.

Aunt Liu looked up at Aunt Qiao, unable to say a word as she kept her words in her heart.

"Last time your peacock gall was too eye-catching, I changed it to a hook kiss, and I only thought that the assassin died in prison after taking chronic poison." The expression on Aunt Qiao's face became more and more calm, and she didn't mean to blame. "Otherwise, if you are the Holy Master and the Ministry of Punishment, why didn't you be investigated?"

After speaking, he took Liu Gu's hand again, with a smile in his eyes: "We are doing things for the prince, we must not let others talk about it."

"Yes."

The two parted quietly, and Liu Gudou went to the Secretary of Food, took a bowl of tonic and sent it to the Chonghua Palace.

Feng Zhiyan, who was lying on the couch, frowned coldly, while being fed and drank the concoction by the maid Jing'er, while listening to Aunt Liu's detailed account of today's events.

My two elder sisters were lost in the hands of Concubine Xie Guifei, and now she can taste the pain of losing her sisters, it is really very satisfying.

However, another incident that happened today made her really unhappy.

After drinking the last sip of tonic, Feng Zhiyan hurriedly asked: "What happened to the fireworks that elder brother sent third brother to escort?"

Accidentally, he coughed a few more "cough coughs".

"Miss."

Aunt Liu hurried forward, patted her on the back and stroked along:

"Don't worry, empress. Both Shuntian Mansion and Dali Temple have gone to the Fireworks Bureau in the southern suburbs of Beijing. They probably haven't come back yet. It's just that the fireworks were originally scheduled to be handed over to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow. Now something happened without handover. I'm afraid it might be troublesome."

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyan's heart tightened.

"What a fool! Knowing this, why don't you take more precautions?"

"Then, do you want to send a message to the Patriarch to ask the Lu family or the King of Yan to help..."

"King Yan?"

Feng Zhiyan was a little strange, why would Aunt Liu mention this person at this time, and suddenly remembered that the Lu family had married King Yan, and mentioned that the Lu family would naturally bring King Yan, so she didn't continue to ask:
"Brother and Ming Lang have long hated King Yan. They would rather be led by the Xie family than to join King Yan. As for the Lu family..."

She just sighed and leaned back on the soft pillow again: "Elder brother conspired with Xie's family, how could he be willing to go to Lu's house to beg for mercy? Besides, you must not let elder brother know that Ming Lang is still alive."

After listening to Yanpin's words, Aunt Liu's expression suddenly changed and gradually returned to calm: "Then what should we do now?"

"For now, just pretend you don't know anything."

"Yes, the servant girl will leave first." Liu Gu bowed solemnly and withdrew.

Jing'er saw that Concubine Yan was really weak, so she wanted to wait for her to go to bed early, but she saw that the eyes of the empress were very energetic:

"Jing'er, you'll find Ben Gong's "24 Fragrance Books" in a while..."

"...Yes, empress." Jing'er thought for a while and agreed.

The empress is not in good health now, but her heart is also dead, and she wants to meditate and worship the Buddha, her expression is unavoidably sad.

Seeing that she was about to retreat, Feng Zhiyan hurriedly said, "There are more."

"My lady, please tell me."

"Take out the fragrance recipes of facial cleansing incense and body purification incense that I used to make in the mansion before, and mix all the medicinal materials and spices according to the prescriptions."

When Jing'er heard this, she was overjoyed instantly.

I have always been a woman who wants to please herself. In the past, in the mansion, the girls liked the powder to beautify the face the most, but since they entered the palace and became a concubine, they have never touched these things again, and they have ignored the Holy Majesty.

Now that it is like this, he must have figured it out: "I'll go get it right away."

After speaking, he flew out like a bird.

At the gate of the palace, the four brothers of the Lu family were looking forward to it under the night, seeing the noble daughters and sons of various prefectures coming out one by one, but the younger sister and brother-in-law were nowhere to be seen, and they were circling anxiously.

"Oh, I said, old six, your wounds are only bandaged, so don't wander around, okay?"

The fourth brother Lu Yunzhao rubbed his palms, feeling in a mess.

"Aren't I worried?" Sixth brother Lu Yunce grinned in pain, but still refused to stop, "I heard that my little sister fell into the water and was injured, as a brother, can I not worry?"

After saying this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the fourth and fifth children.

"We are also brothers, we are more anxious than you!"

On the contrary, Lu Yunfan, who was lying crookedly in the soft carriage, groaned and said, "Ouch~ stop yelling your motherfuckers, I am in so much pain~ my brother is also injured, why don't you worry about me~"

"Are you in pain?" Lu Yunzhao, the fourth child, rolled his eyes, "You were thinking of a girl!"

"Hey! You're still in good spirits, aren't you?" Lu Yunfan suddenly sat up straight, took off a shoe and threw it at Lu Yunzhao's face.

Unexpectedly, with a pain in his back, he slammed into Lu Yunce's direction.

"Can you please stop making trouble!" Lu Yunce waved his hand to block it, feeling even more depressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a soft exclamation from beside him: "Ouch!"

Following the voice, Lu Yunce hurried over, only to see a girl in a blue dress, with red eye circles covering her forehead, looking at herself angrily.

At her feet were the shoes of her second brother Lu Yunfan.
