The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Hong Peiju's study has a secret passage hidden in it, which was secretly supervised by Hong Peiju's great-grandfather when the Hong family first moved into this house.

Only the eldest son of the Hong family, the eldest son of the Hou family, or the next Marquis of Huai'an, knows the existence of this secret way and institution.

Hong Peiju arranged the young man in the study.

There are several mirrors on the ceiling of the study room, and the mirrors are placed so concealed that outsiders can't see them at all.

Under the floor of the study is a secret passage and a dark room.

The floor of the study has several small holes that are hidden very deep, through which the indoor situation reflected in the mirror on the ceiling can be seen.

It was through these mirrors that Hong Peiju saw what the young man recorded.

At first Hong Peiju was just curious, but slowly, he discovered that the young man had recorded one prescription after another and some formulas for using medicine and poison.

However, due to the limited angle, some formulas for medicine and poison cannot be seen completely.

So later, Hong Peiju prepared medicine or poison according to the formula he wrote down, but the effect was not good.

Some have poor curative effect, some have weak toxicity, or insufficient detoxification.

Therefore, in the following years, Hong Peiju studied the formulas of these poisons and antidote little by little.

For example, there are ten medicines in some prescriptions, but two of them are not seen.

Hong Peiju began to find medicines one by one to fill them in, and as time passed, she really got some results.

In this, it is also Hong Peiju who "blind cat meets dead mouse" luckily found its original formula in the search for a needle in a haystack.

It may also be that Hong Peiju has found a medicinal material that can just replace the missing ingredients after thousands of attempts.

Or, Hong Peiju created a new poison and antidote on the basis of the original one, which is unknown.

However, some prescriptions in Hong Peiju's hands are really effective.

After holding this weapon, Hong Peiju's confidence suddenly increased.

It's just that his unique skill can't be publicized, and there is very little room for it to be used, and he can't easily reveal this secret.

Making and using poison is a method that the rich and powerful do not reject, but it is also something that cannot be put on the table.

Because, there is no way to find a buyer with great fanfare.For a while, Hong Peiju felt like she was begging for a golden rice bowl.

When Hong Peiju looked at the dignitaries in Beijing, he realized that his family had been marginalized to a position that could no longer be marginalized.

Of course, even in the heyday of the family, it never reached the core position, but it was close to the core after all.

If the calculation method is a little rougher and the scope is slightly expanded, the Huai'an Hou at that time is more or less included in the expanded scope of the "core of power".

But at this moment, when Hong Peiju was the Marquis, apart from a title, he still had a place in the court except during festivals and major ceremonial events.The rest of the time, arrange it yourself!

There are several important forces in the court at this time.

One is the Qing school, that is, the civil official school headed by Queen Nangong's family and Prime Minister Qi.

The second is the shrewd and capable relatives of the emperor, such as the king of Guangling, the king of Jiangxia, and the wise and foolish king of Rong'an.There are also a few princes who are usually silent and invisible, who seem to be hibernating, but they should not be underestimated.

For example, the father of the county lord Qiqing, Duke Long'an.

The other is the faction of generals.In fact, their Huai'an Marquis Mansion can be regarded as an honorable family, but now they are in decline, and they have no right to speak in the army.This faction is headed by Qin Guogong and Li Guogong.

There are also some forces that usually don't show their mountains or show their water, or that they don't participate in political affairs very frequently, but their forces should not be underestimated. They should be regarded as the free and easy faction.

For example, Princess Herui, or Concubine Lu.

In this way, the emperor is in an extremely delicate balance.

The emperor's ascension to the throne was also accidental, because his brothers in front fought too fiercely, which meant that they would all lose. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to choose him.

Therefore, the emperor does not have an overwhelming force that has an absolute advantage.

The above-mentioned people all have their own small circles, and Hong Peiju has no way to squeeze into them.

At this time, Concubine Jiao Xian's momentum gradually began to gain popularity like a sudden emergence.

Hong Peiju was acutely aware that Concubine Jiao Xian was a breakthrough point, and there was another one, Chen Zhuoxin who turned from a concubine to a son!
In order to get close to the two, Hong Peiju disguised herself as a salesman and a small vendor to ambush and hide around the mansion of Concubine Jiao Xian's father, Jiao Shilang.

After a period of time, Hong Peiju found that Jiao Shilang was a fairly well-behaved person.

There was nothing suspicious about the guests coming and going.

But Hong Peiju still found out that there was something wrong with Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle.

The people in the palace often went in and out of the Shi Lang's mansion in a big way, and then abducted them to Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle's house.

Then Hong Peiju began to focus on Concubine Jiao Xian's uncle, Jiao Yucheng.

It was during the process of monitoring Jiao Yucheng that Chen Zhuoxin discovered Hong Peiju's actions, and the two colluded together.

In front of Hong Peiju's sick bed, Yin Hong calmly looked at Hong Peiju with a face of pain, angry and funny in his heart.

"Master Hou is playing with eagles all day long, but the eagle cuts his eyes!"

Hong Peiju was depressed, how could he have thought that Bao Jiang would dare to fight him desperately!
Moreover, I didn't expect that the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind him, allowing himself to fall into such a field, was because he was too confident and too careless.

Hong Peiju didn't hide her annoyance.

Yin Hong stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point. He came late at night, not to be polite, nor to care about Hong Peiju's injury, but to pass on a message for Chen Zhuoxin,

"Master Hou, you should think about it carefully. Although you are very smart, you are a monk halfway through. How much use are those prescriptions in your hands? Apart from being able to deal with a few servants, you can also deal with some of your bad ones." Obedient children, is it possible that you still dare to drug the county king and the Duke?"

Yin Honglai asked Hong Peiju for the formula, and the people behind Chen Zhuoxin believed that the young man was probably the descendant of Qiyaoling. Even if he was not the descendant, he had a deep connection with Qiyaoling.

And the medicine from Qiyaoling is also rumored to be one of the ways to unlock the secrets of the Duke of Li's mansion.

Hong Peiju was dissatisfied when she heard the words,

"Grandpa Guo is trying to establish new achievements for the master? Even my little trick? I'm just making some tricks on my one-acre three-point land. It's just for self-entertainment. Grandpa Guo is very capable. , why fight with me again?"

Yin Hong was also dissatisfied with Hong Peiju's attitude of "no rabbits, no eagles".
"Master Hou, why do you have to speak so harshly? Let's all seek great wealth and honor together. If you have money, you can contribute money. If you have the ability, you can contribute your energy. You are also willing to join the Duke and the Concubine Xian, but no one is forcing you!"

Hong Peiju was so angry that she wanted to get up, and when she got angry, her head started to hurt again. The pain made Hong Peiju calm down instantly, and he didn't have the capital to tear herself apart with Chen Zhuoxin.

What he planned with Chen Zhuoxin and Concubine Jiao Xian was actually a gamble. If he won the gamble, he would be rich and wealthy, but the premise was that he could not lose his chips when he won the cards.

Now, until there is no absolute certainty, the time to uncover the sieve cup is delayed.

He, Hong Peiju, was not afraid of procrastination, anyway, he procrastinated for so long.

However, Hong Peiju felt that some people couldn't wait.

For example, Concubine Jiao Xian!

There are faint rumors in the market that after the third and fourth princes get married, the matter of "establishing a crown prince" will soon be on the agenda.

Before there was a "Li Chu", they revealed the secrets of Li Guogong's mansion, and they could even control the "Li Chu"!
Which prince is the secret, which prince is the "prince prince"!
Even if you don't participate in the "Li Chuan", at least, it is a great achievement that no one can match!

Moreover, because this secret is a sharp weapon, it will not be "cooked by cunning rabbits and cooked by running dogs"!
It's like another amulet wrapped around Fugui!

The Ji family sisters are in the Hou Mansion, he has plenty of time!
Hong Peiju covered her head in pain, and said slowly,
"I have also contributed a lot to my mother and the Duke, but, look what I have gained now? This time I was seriously injured, and it was not a fake. My medicine is so useful, I use it on myself to let myself first Is it okay to be comfortable for a few days? Come on, go back and tell the Duke, now I need to rest, not tired, not angry, look, it is difficult for me to get out of bed now. Please tell the Duke, when I recover After some time, we will discuss again."

Yin Hong was not surprised, Hong Peiju had a thick skin, and the word "drag" seemed to be in his pocket, and he could take it out anytime and anywhere!
He said that at the beginning, it was a big mistake to put the Ji family sisters in Huai'an Marquis Mansion!

However, the Duke of the State seeks "stability", and is worried that in the end, he will lose his life and wealth, which will attract "ten thousand people's hatred"!
Yin Hong said lightly,

"Master Hou, don't be clever and be mistaken by cleverness. It is still unknown whether Master Hou's recipe can unlock the secrets of the Duke of Li's mansion. Even if he has this ability, if Master Hou doesn't hurry up, someone else might take the lead. Wouldn't you regret it? It's too late."

Hong Peiju didn't speak.

Yin Hong said again,

"Your Majesty may wish to think about it. Your daughter, Miss Meilin, is not particularly beautiful in her family. How could He De be selected?"

Hong Peiju opened her eyes when she heard the words, and there was not much doubt in them.

Yin Hong simply put his words aside,

"Someone is helping!"

Hong Peiju was startled, faintly feeling that many things were out of control and slipping away in an unexpected direction!
And Yin Hong's next words made Hong Peiju unable to lie down calmly anymore!
"The emperor already knows something about using Gu to spy on the sisters of the Ji family. You also know that the emperor hates people who use Gu, otherwise he wouldn't have used a lot of magical medicine in the palace to prevent the poison from causing trouble. Lord Hou, You said, after a thorough investigation, who will take the blame?"
