Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

"Fourth Prince!"

The Commander's appearance immediately made Xi Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ma'am, miss, this commander is running amok in the backyard. Just as the slave brought people to the backyard, he saw the commander bring people out of the lady's room. It's really audacious! Who gave you the right to dare to trespass on the official?" The lady's boudoir? When the master comes back, I will have the master sue you!"

The housekeeper and others appeared afterward, and angrily complained to Mrs. Xue Fu.

"Commander, do you have an imperial order to search the house? Otherwise, you will be framed and framed. I will definitely bring you to the queen to argue for right or wrong!"

The Commander is a female official in the imperial court, and she is more experienced than the fourth prince in facing criticisms and excuses from female relatives. Even when Mrs. Xue mentioned her immediate superior, the Empress, the Commander was not in a hurry, and said in a leisurely manner, "Mrs. Xue I'm afraid I don't know if I came to Beijing late. Our Siming Mansion has always been well-founded in doing things, and will not act casually. The Siming Mansion is ordered by the royal family to supervise the evil words and deeds in the capital city. The fourth prince learned about Miss Xue's behavior from Miss Jia Even if there is no major event such as the assassination of the royal family, it is only natural for the subordinates to come to the door to check, not to mention the results of the Jia family's interrogation, pointing at Miss Xue. The next official is ordered to offend Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue, please Forgive me, if you insist on suing the queen, I will accompany you to the end!"

Mrs. Xue and Xue Baozhu looked at each other in dismay at the words of the female officer of the order, and involuntarily turned to Xue Zhaofeng to ask for confirmation.Xue Zhaofeng frowned, and said to his mother and younger sister, "The Siming Mansion of the former dynasty was equivalent to the existence of the Six Dynasties Gate, especially in monitoring rumors in the world, and there were exclusive crimes of slander and gossip. Your majesty in this dynasty is magnanimous and abolished the slander. , the crime of lying, we can only order the Commander to monitor public opinion."

Since ancient times, deceitful words have not been an adjective, but a serious crime.Before the spread of paper books, "Yao" originally referred to folk songs, and "Rumor" refers to the language expression of songs, mostly in rhymes such as rumors and lyrics, which is conducive to oral dissemination and expansion of influence. "Rumor" can be regarded as a form of public opinion; in the previous dynasty, it was considered to be able to reflect public opinion, so "rumor", also known as demonic rumors, was also a felony serious enough to commit family crimes in the previous dynasty .

After hearing Xue Zhaofeng's explanation, the mother and daughter were a little weak and stopped talking.Both of them have the attribute of talking nonsense. They thought that after the words were over, no one would be able to pursue them. Unexpectedly, there is such a government office as public opinion monitoring in the court.

Xue Zhaofeng was familiar with his mother and younger sister's guilty conscience, so he deliberately explained, "Mother, don't worry, Your Majesty is magnanimous. There is no precedent for being convicted of a crime in this dynasty, and the more supervision responsibilities of the Si Ming Jian have not been dealt with. Those two sentences are exaggerated, His Majesty is generous and doesn’t care about it, so can others still be put on the line?”

Xue Zhaofeng, like the Xue family, has a sharp mouth.After hearing Xue Zhaofeng's words, Mrs. Xue and Xue Mingzhu raised their heads again and looked at Si Mingjian.

"I don't know if the commander found out who is wrong with our Xue family?"

The commander looked at the two of them, "Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue, Jia Wenxin's personal servant girl once said during the interrogation that Miss Xue had tricked Jia Wenxin into opposing Miss Su. Is there such a thing?"

Facing the commander's gaze, Xue Baozhu curled her lips, "So what? But I didn't instigate, I just echoed Jia Wenxin's heart. Who knew she would do it? Could it be that I said casually who deserves to die? If I turn around and kill people, should I be blamed? I'm just complaining casually!"

Xue Baozhu heard the words of her elder brother Xue Zhaofeng, and knew that the fourth prince and others had already interrogated Jia Wenxin and her maid, so she no longer denied what she said. Anyway, the commander of the order can only supervise and cannot deal with it. So what can she do if she speaks?She just followed Jia Wen's heart and talked in private. Did she go out and spread rumors on a large scale? Can she really punish herself for a single sentence?In that case, no one in the capital dared to talk about her in private for a long time. Wouldn’t the fun of these ladies in the capital who like to whisper in private be less than half?

Xue Baozhu was confident, and the female officer of the Command Supervisor showed a smile on her face, "It's good for Miss Xue to admit it. Since Miss Xue is so upright, she must be no stranger to this thing."

The Commander took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, opened it, and found some red powder inside.

Seeing this, Xue Baozhu's eyes narrowed, and then he said calmly, "This is the spice in my room. It has a light and pleasant taste, and I have always liked it."

The Commander shook his head, "Miss Xue, do you think that it was brought from Shu County, and no one in the capital knows about it?" said the Commander, carefully handing the things to Xiyan beside him, and presenting it to Qin Jing Check, "Fourth Prince, this thing is called Nymphony. Add a little bit of spices. After lighting it, it will make people upset. People who smell it for the first time will feel in a trance. Miss Jia Wenxin lost her composure today. This thing is bewitching, caused by subconscious restlessness and abnormality."

When Xue Baozhu heard the words of the Commander, she was not stupid enough to argue with the Commander, but had a carefree and indifferent expression, "My lord is serious, this thing has been popular in Shu County for a long time, and only among the big families have a little bit of it Add the spice of nuxonum, and this thing is not cheap. I got a little bit of it from a gift from a local family before I left Shu County. It is rare for Miss Jia to come to see me, so I ordered this spice. It’s as miraculous as the life officer said. If there is such a magical medicine that can make people obey, I’m not willing to use it on Jia Wenxin, and it’s better to use it on the fourth prince directly.”

The Commander shook his head and said, "Nyxony is just a catalyst, it can make people who are already mentally weak and upset subconsciously obey, it's like invisible hypnosis, this kind of thing is still useful against a boudoir lady like Jia Wenxin, It is useless to deal with a man with a firm mind and a strong body like the fourth prince. If the dose is too large, it will be easy to be noticed. Miss Xue, this kind of thing is not a special product of Shu County, but has been handed down from the previous dynasty Prohibited drugs. No one mentions it now, it’s not that others don’t understand, but that few people in Kyoto use such means. Miss Xue, you’re so brave.”

After the commander's words fell, Xue Mingzhu's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't buy this spice, I was kept in the dark, and I used it a little bit. Moreover, when I use this spice, I don't know what to say. I'm in the house just like Miss Jia. If she gets poisoned, wouldn't I be safe too?"

Mrs. Xue patted her daughter's hand, "We still need more officials, otherwise, Baozhu will be harmed by this spice. Fourth prince, what happened today was Baozhu's unintentional action. If it is poisoned, Baozhu will suffer even more. You wouldn't implicate Baozhu in the case of assassinating Su Zijin because of this, would you? Miss Jia is also Jia Guogong's favorite jewel. Could it be possible that His Majesty can still pursue Miss Jia's fault because of her temporary negligence? As for my family's Baozhu, It's even more far-fetched. She was just showing off the spices brought by Shu County to the aristocrats in Kyoto, and the amount of spices was used up immediately. Soon, but the spices in each prefecture have complex ratios and different effects. If the four princes pursue it, do they have to ask each family to hand over their own incense making methods and where to buy incense? I knew that people in Kyoto, incense is It is common for any family to burn incense if it is a little rich. The major families even have their own exclusive spice formulas with different effects. If the little girl is convicted because of this, I am afraid that people in the capital will think that the four The prince is making a fuss out of a molehill, but the orb is not enough."

Qin Jing listened to Mrs. Xue's words, smiled, and got up straight, "Mrs. Xue, don't worry, I'm in a hurry to talk to everyone. I'm going to the mansion today, but I just want to find out the truth. Su Zijin is my fiancée, she leads The emperor is here, and he was targeted by someone in the school grounds for no reason. I need to find out the truth. Xue Butang must be returning home soon, so I won’t bother you any more. Please tell Xue Butang that today’s matter is true. In Xiamenglang, if we meet in court another day, we must explain clearly to Xue Butang face to face. Xiyan, Commander, let's go."

Qin Jing turned and left, Xue Baozhu and his mother breathed a sigh of relief, almost staggering.
