A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 324 Damn it (Part [-])
The things and the rewards from the palace were all delivered by Butler Liu himself.

When he was holding the heavy brocade box in his hand, he actually regretted it a bit, and felt that he shouldn't have rushed to report to the palace for Ye Xunyi's credit.

Originally, he was in charge of everything in this mansion, but now it is equivalent to being backed by Concubine Sheng Xian, acknowledging the identity of the mistress of Ye Xunyi's palace.

Butler Liu is loyal to Yun Zheng, even if Ye Xunyi's reminder this time did help save Yun Zheng's face, but...

Asking him to submit to this woman's feet and take orders, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Ye Xunyi has also stayed in this mansion for half a year, and he can clearly see the ambition of this slave by looking at the actions of Butler Liu.

She took the things that Concubine Sheng Xian bestowed on her, with a joyful expression on her face, and said in a good voice: "Mother and Concubine gave me a generous reward, but it made me panic, butler Liu tried to send me a post to invite me into the palace." See you? I think I should go to the concubine mother to ask An Xieen face to face so as not to be rude."

Butler Liu had already regretted it, and now he was even more unwilling to take this line for her.

He showed hesitation: "My little one heard that Concubine Xian has been feeling unwell recently..."

Concubine Sheng Xian is unwell, it is true.

and--

The reason was because Yun Zheng was imprisoned in the imperial tomb.

She was also panicked and anxious at the time, because she didn't catch up with Yunzheng before he left the capital, and Concubine Sheng Xian was in a mess after that, and went to find the emperor, but she could only pretend to be responsible and plead guilty for her son , She didn't dare to say too many words of intercession, and the next day she summoned her mother and sister-in-law into the palace.

Naturally, the Sheng family was also in a hurry. Mr. Sheng knew that Concubine Sheng Xian would discuss with them soon, and it was inconvenient for their siblings to meet each other, so he explained to his mother and wife earlier.

The few women lingered in the harem for half a day because the emperor's attitude was too ambiguous and intriguing...

You can say that he is not angry, he fined Yun Zheng for half a year, and even expelled him from Beijing, but if you want to say that he was completely angry and gave up his son, the charges against him are not very serious.

In this way, the members of the Sheng family and Concubine Sheng Xian were afraid that they would not understand the sacred meaning, so rash actions would be counterproductive. Instead, they have all died down in the court and harem these days.

However, Concubine Sheng Xian was also concerned about her son, and in the past few days news spread that he was ill.

But it is expected that it will not be a serious illness, but a minor illness such as mental depression.

Ye Xunyi hadn't heard of this news before, so he knew it after a little thought.

She curled her lips and said with a smile: "Isn't that good, in the name of visiting a sick person? Butler Liu, please go with me. Your Highness left Beijing this time hastily and suddenly. Although it is His Majesty's will, we have to think about it." Countermeasures, this trip to the palace just happened to discuss with the concubine mother, we can't just let it go and let His Highness be trapped in the imperial tomb."

Yun Zheng would not tell Butler Liu all his thoughts, but Butler Liu knew a lot of things when he worked for him.

Just like-

The last time he was banned from the mansion, Yun Zheng even arranged for someone to defile and rape the side concubine in order to escape, just to make her pregnant and have a miscarriage.

But this Ye Xunyi, after all, Yunzheng and Yunheng fought for a long time and finally got it after exhausting all means. He is really different in not keeping this woman intact, no matter how much he struggles, he is sympathetic.

As for Ye Xunyi, Housekeeper Liu would not believe that she had no complaints about Yun Zheng's abuse of her.

Can--

A woman's fate is dependent on a man's. If Yunzheng really has something good or bad, she has no heirs, and she can only spend the rest of her life with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.

So, now that she said that she wanted to help Yunzheng plan to escape, Steward Liu couldn't believe it.

Ye Xunyi spent all her time waiting for him.

After weighing it over, Butler Liu finally nodded: "Okay then, I'll give you a try by handing over the post. As for the concubine Xian, she is willing to see her..."

Thinking about it was unnecessary, so he didn't say any more.

But if it was said that Ye Xunyi wanted to enter the palace to discuss with Concubine Sheng Xian about saving Yunzheng, Housekeeper Liu would not dare to belittle him.

Because it was inconvenient to write everything in the greeting card, in order to ensure that the word would be heard, he even went to the Sheng Mansion specially, told the reason why Ye Xunyi wanted to enter the palace, and asked the female family members of the Sheng family to help with the message.

Although Yun Zheng was on the same boat as the Sheng family, he wouldn't tell the Sheng family about the filth in his house in detail, but the Sheng family didn't even know that he and Ye Xunyi had an enemy-like relationship. I always thought they were very close together.

The next day Mrs. Sheng entered the palace again under the pretext of visiting a sick person.

And that afternoon, the post that Prince Ning's Mansion sent to the palace early in the morning received a response, saying that Ye Xunyi was allowed to visit the palace.

Ye Xunyi tried not to look too impatient, another night passed...

Because the residual poison in her body would break out separately at midnight, she was even worried that she would not be able to come back at noon, so she specially asked the medical officer to make painkillers into pills for her, took a few pills with her, and entered the palace early in the morning.

Near noon, Mother Jiao entered the study in the back hall of Fengming Palace.

Empress Gu took a break from her busy schedule today, leaning on the kang in the Nuan Pavilion next to her to read a book.

Seeing her coming in, she glanced at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile, "I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but nowadays, even when I'm free, I feel that time flies...Look, that's why After flipping through a few pages of the book, the whole morning passed."

Mother Jiao also had a smile on her face, with a loving and doting smile: "Who says it's not? Only children would argue that the time is too slow, and when they grow up, they will find that this time is never enough."

Empress Gu folded the corner of the page she just saw, put the book on the table, and then sat up straight: "Is it time to serve lunch? Did your majesty or the crown prince say they would come over? "

"His Royal Highness didn't say anything, so he probably won't come." Mother Jiao said, she walked over to help her get the shoes, and was about to kneel down to put them on for her, but Empress Gu didn't let her, she took them neatly Put the embroidered shoes on the feet.

Mother Jiao didn't force her, she stood beside her and continued, "Your Majesty has summoned His Highness the Princess today, and she should be serving meals in the imperial study."

"Should it be for that girl and Jili?" Queen Gu pondered, her hands paused, and then she continued to straighten the folds of the skirt and robe, "She's back?"

"The maidservant didn't hear the news when she just came here. Your Highness is shrewd, so she should be able to guess that it's for this matter, and she may not be willing to come back." Mother Jiao said, "Would you like to come forward to persuade me, Your Majesty? How can there be a girl who doesn't do the ceremony?"

Empress Gu showed helplessness, shook her head and sighed: "Let them father and daughter break up, I don't want to be annoying."

This was just a joke, and Mother Jiao didn't take it to heart.

Ordinary people are strict fathers and loving mothers, patriarchal, but this palace is the other way around...

Although the little princess is delicate and wild, but the emperor dotes on his daughter, sometimes he is so stalking that he doesn't even want to face, some things will eventually make the little princess soft-hearted and obedient, but the empress, if she orders the little princess by force Whatever needs to be done, the little princess will compromise and agree to ordinary things, but she herself will be unhappy when things are done.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to coax her and beg her, and to make her happy by holding her high. There is really no need for the empress to be such a villain.

Indeed, when it was time for lunch, Empress Gu ate alone, instead of going to the front hall, she ate directly in her bedroom.

The two palace maids were busy setting up the meal in person, when Mother Jiao came in again and reported: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Ye from Prince Ning's Mansion came into the palace early this morning, saying that she came to visit the concubine Xian's illness. A reward from the concubine."

Empress Gu was being served by the palace servants to wash her hands, but she didn't care much when she heard the words, she just asked casually: "Concubine Xian asked her to have lunch with her?"

"That's not true." Mother Jiao said, "I just left. But she came early, so she and Concubine Xian were alone in the bedroom for almost two hours, but she didn't know... what she would say."

say what?what can i say
Wherever this Ye Xunyi went, he would only feel restless.

Queen Gu considered for a moment, and finally shook her head meaningfully: "It's really worrying."

In order to hurry, Ye Xunyi came out of Concubine Sheng Xian's bedroom by sitting on her shoulders and leaving the palace directly.

Although Steward Liu entered the palace with her, Concubine Sheng Xian was in the bedroom when she was talking to her, so she did not bring Steward Liu with her. Steward Liu was also very curious about how her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been chatting for so long. What, but because there were people nearby and couldn't ask each other, I had no choice but to endure the whole way out of the palace.

The result is also a coincidence——

As soon as they came out of the palace gate, they saw Yun Cheng coming on horseback.

A gleam of coldness flashed across Ye Xunyi's eyes for an instant, but he quickly restrained himself.

Unavoidable, she had no choice but to bring Butler Liu to kneel beside the palace gate.

Yun Cheng was used to arrogance, and because he didn't get along well with her, he never looked down on her, and after getting off his horse, he strutted past her with a whip on his toes.

The guards guarding the palace gate also knew the rules very well and just let them go without saying hello or complimenting them.

After Yun Cheng entered the palace gate, he closed the palace gate again.

"Side concubine, get up quickly." Ye Xunyi's two maidservants ran over from the carriage not far away to help her up.

"It's already noon, let's go back first." Butler Liu continued to suppress his curiosity and walked over to check the horses and horses.

Without saying a word, Ye Xunyi was helped into the carriage by the maidservant. As soon as she sat firmly in the carriage, she felt faint signs of poisoning, so she quickly took out the pills in the sachet and took it.

At this time, it is very difficult to refine the pills. She only took two pills at first, but the pain from the poison gradually became more severe. She wanted to curl up and fall into the carriage, so she quickly took out two more pills and swallowed them tremblingly. .

However, the effect of the medicine was also difficult to fully exert for a while, so she hugged herself tightly and endured it. In order to divert her attention, she pushed the window open a gap and tried to watch the excitement on the street.

At this moment, the carriage just passed through the downtown area, and there were too many people on the street, so I couldn't go fast.

She was restless and uncomfortable, when she suddenly saw a portrait posted on the notice wall outside a teahouse.

Although Dongfang Mu has a face that stands out from everyone else, no matter how ordinary a person is, her appearance is different from other people. She has a very important cooperation with this person. Even if his face is burned to ashes, she will recognize it.

Dongfang Mu hadn't appeared in the past few days, and she comforted herself by saying that this person should have been hiding to avoid the limelight, until now when she saw the portrait of someone looking for someone in the Yamen, she felt struck by lightning.

"Stop!" Ye Xunyi yelled in a panic.

Steward Liu stopped the carriage when he heard the words, jumped off the shaft, ran over and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

Ye Xunyi was sweating from the pain and dizzy at the moment. Although she recognized Dongfang Mu's portrait at a glance, she couldn't tell whether the words on the notice were wanted or something else.

but--

The identity of this person is too special and important, she didn't dare to reveal any signs of acquaintance with him, so she made up a nonsense reason: "I'm in so much pain, I really can't walk, ask them to help I'll go into the teahouse and sit down and drink something hot, let me take it easy."

About Ye Xunyi's poisoning, she was stupid and missed the only opportunity to make it public. Afterwards, she talked about the poisoning. If the palace intervened, the Ning Palace could not explain it, so Yun Zheng ordered it to be concealed from the outside world. Even in the Ning Palace, only The people around Ye Xunyi, Steward Liu and the medical officer knew about it.

Butler Liu saw that she was indeed pale and in extreme pain, so he didn't think much about it: "That's fine."

Turn around and walk away, and have the ottoman set up.

Ye Xunyi moved over slowly, trying to maintain a normal state on the street, and got out of the car with the help of two maidservants.

She deliberately walked very slowly...

When he got close, he quickly cleared up the contents of the notice, and found that it was not wanted, but Dongfang Mu was dead, and the court could not find out his identity, so he posted a notice to look for someone.

The date and cause of death of this person were clearly written on the notice, and it was actually Yu's birthday, and judging from the time when the body was found, his body should have been found before the Qi family's birthday banquet was over.

only--

I don't know who the murderer is!
That is to say, Dongfang Mu should have been killed when he slipped out of Qi Mansion after poisoning Yun Xi.

It was also at this time that she suddenly remembered a very important matter that she had neglected, so she grabbed the maidservant's hand and asked: "There is no other news from the Changning Hou Mansion and the Su Mansion these days except good news. any news?"

Dongfang Mu said that if there is no antidote, Yunxi will definitely die within three days.

But now, it was already the seventh day, and she was exhausted from tossing about twice a day with poisonous hair, and Yun Xi should have died long ago when she thought about it.

Her own viscera were distorted in pain, her hands were naturally not heavy, and her nails directly dug into the maidservant's flesh.

The maid didn't dare to say anything, she just shook her head suspiciously: "No... I didn't hear any news."

Yun Xi's current status is more than just Qi Huan's maidservant. If she dies, she can be dragged out with a mat and buried. She is the daughter of Grand Tutor Su. If she really dies...

It's impossible to be so silent.

What's more, with Qi Huan's behavior, I'm afraid he would come to her door again to settle accounts with her long ago.

Now considering the news of Dongfang Mu's death, Ye Xunyi immediately understood——

I'm afraid Dongfang Mu is being targeted by Gu Zhan's people, so kill him and take the antidote!

Since they killed Dongfang Mu so cleanly, they just regarded him as an ordinary subordinate of themselves and Yun Zheng.

fine……

Fortunately, Dongfang Mu's true identity has not been revealed, otherwise she would have been in catastrophe by now!

Ye Xunyi was overjoyed, but the next moment he realized something was wrong——

Dongfang Mu has a one-way connection with her. It seems that even his subordinates in Beijing don't know her exact identity and existence. Now that this person is dead, she is still waiting to get the antidote from him to continue her life. What now? manage?
Can't wait for Dacheng's emperor Yu Wencang to find out about this, and then go all the way to deliver her the antidote in person, right?

and--

Dongfang Mu died, and his portrait had been posted all over the city for several days. His subordinates didn't dare to go to identify the corpse, probably because they were afraid that there was a fraud in it, and they would be followed by others, right?
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that she stopped for a while and did not leave, the maid couldn't help urging.

Ye Xunyi had already become a frightened bird at this time, she just wanted to get out of the wrong place as soon as possible, so as not to be watched by others, but she was extremely afraid that housekeeper Liu would see through her guilt, so she finally gritted her teeth and buried herself in the teahouse.

With her status, she naturally couldn't sit in the lobby in public. The maid asked for a private room and helped her in.

Ye Xunyi curled up on the couch and pretended to rest, but she was terrified in her heart, terrified that she would spend the rest of her life under the torment of this poison.

She was upset and trembling, completely oblivious to the fact that the two maidservants behind her had fallen to the ground unconscious.

And when she finally realized something was wrong——

But the throat was already pinched by gravity, and he was picked up from the couch like a dead goose.
