Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 692

After hearing this, Zhao Caifeng became afraid. Although the country is peaceful and the people are safe now, the uncle and the second master of the Xiao family are still guarding the border. If something really happens, the family in the capital will probably... Zhao Caifeng Before he finished speaking, Cheng Lanzhi had tears in his eyes, stood up and saluted like Zhao Caifeng: "When the time comes, sister, please bring Lingyi with you."

"Have you reached this field yet?" Zhao Caifeng couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, it seemed that the Xiao family didn't intend to sit still.

"The matter hasn't come to this point in the end, it's just that the imperial concubine made a statement in the palace. This matter was definitely not her doing. She wanted to die to clear her innocence, but she was reluctant to part with the third prince and eighth princess. The emperor didn't say anything. With such a treatment, if the Xiao family is really going to be crushed, it is better to kill the fish and kill the net."

"Did Xiao Lao San say that?" Zhao Caifeng understood Xiao Yiming's temper after all, so she only tried to comfort her and said, "The matter hasn't reached that point yet, so you have to tell me the whole story first. Although I can’t help you much, I can help you think about countermeasures together.”

Seeing what Zhao Caifeng said, Cheng Lanzhi calmed down for a moment, and said, "It's something that happened several years ago, it's like this, because the Xiao family is a family of generals, and the girls in the family are also used to wielding knives." He is a gun maker, so a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors can cure scars. People in the palace don't often use it. A few years ago, Concubine Xiao Gui made some and gave them to several nobles in the palace. Concubine Xiao Gui That's right, Concubine Xiao Gui is from the south, she suffered from frostbite when she was a child, although she is well-clothed and well-fed now, she will suffer from frostbite in winter, and this year she used it again, but who knows what is wrong with it Yes, the imperial doctor said that there is musk in the jade skin ointment, Xiao Guipin's child just disappeared!"

What the hell... Isn't this the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?Zhao Caifeng couldn't help but gently stroked her forehead. It seemed that the harem was sinister, and it wasn't completely aimless.Zhao Caifeng only asked: "Since it is said that it is a gift to a few nobles, do other nobles still have this thing? Just take it out and compare it, can't you know if this thing has been tampered with?" ?”

"It's just a coincidence that these things were made a few years ago. I don't know where they went, and where I can find them. Even Concubine Xiao didn't have them in her own palace. She even gave some to my mother-in-law back then. , My mother-in-law searched the house all day yesterday, and couldn't even find a lid." Cheng Lanzhi said, only lowering her eyes.

Zhao Caifeng felt more and more frightened. If this matter was really framed, then the perpetrators could be said to have started to arrange this matter a few years ago.The master in the palace, no one cares about these things, but only use them when they are new, who would hide them for six or seven years?Zhao Caifeng only looked down at the handkerchief on the back of her hand, and thought for a moment.She also had a faint scar on the back of her hand before, but the scar was very shallow, and it healed on its own within two years.

Zhao Caifeng suddenly patted the tea table, stood up and said, "Lanzhi, wait a minute, maybe my family has the jade skin ointment you mentioned!"

Zhao Caifeng stood up hastily and went into the bedroom. She remembered that Song Mingxuan had given her two boxes of Jade Skin Ointment that year. She heard that it was used by ladies in the palace, so she put it away when she couldn't bear to use it.Although she moved house twice later, those things were not discarded after all, they were only placed in the small dowry box she brought out from the begging street.

Zhao Caifeng only opened the chest of drawers, took the dowry box and opened it, and sure enough, there were still two white porcelain boxes lying inside, with the white wax seal on the outside still untouched.Zhao Caifeng only took out one box from the inside, and returned to the hall again, handed the box to Cheng Lanzhi and said: "It should be this thing. Back then, my hand was burned, and my husband asked Xiao Laosan for it. I was reluctant to use it. It has been put away, and the seal has not been opened. The year of production is printed on the bottom of the box. You take it back and have someone send it to the palace for comparison. .”

Cheng Lanzhi never expected to have such shit luck, things from six or seven years ago could be hidden so well, this time, Concubine Xiao Gui is saved!

After sending Cheng Lanzhi away, Zhao Caifeng went to the study and told Song Mingxuan what happened just now. Song Mingxuan also deeply felt that the people in the harem were terribly scheming, and made up his mind to let her out.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and there was good news from the other side of the palace. The evidence of the jade skin ointment was convincing, and the Xiao family did not know what to do. The eunuch was saved.Concubine Xiao Gui was deeply wronged, but she was still safe and sound.It's just that after this incident, the Xiao family, who were not very keen on the matter of Lidi, became tougher, and it was very difficult for the emperor to be in the middle.

On this day, Song Mingxuan, as the emperor's friend from previous years, was announced to the palace to play chess as his companion.In fact, the emperor had many chess friends. Apart from playing chess for leisure, most of them also played to listen to some public opinions.For example, the ministers above had already asked a lot of questions, so they started asking little Luo Luo like Song Mingxuan.

It is not so easy to get straight to the point at the beginning, you need to play two games of chess first to warm up.

Song Mingxuan also knew that this was an extraordinary moment, and he must not make any mistakes, otherwise, he might lose his black love.

"Tomorrow is the day to sweep the dust, and the New Year's Day will be in a few days." The emperor sighed.

Song Mingxuan smiled and said: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so he needs to rest more during the Chinese New Year."

The emperor saw that Song Mingxuan's words were not salty, obviously intentional, so he couldn't help asking: "Recently, everyone is talking about the establishment of a reserve. What's Song Aiqing's opinion on this matter?"

Hearing this, Song Mingxuan only raised his eyes and smiled, "Ministers are all thinking about Dayong, which is also a good thing, but this minister feels that His Majesty is in his prime, and he is in good health, so there is no need to remember it for a while."

Obviously Song Mingxuan's answer fit the emperor's intentions, the emperor just smiled and said: "You are not in a hurry, but some people may not be able to wait right now."

Although Song Mingxuan knew that the emperor meant something, he didn't dare to go along with it. Who knew if there was any eyeliner from those people in the imperial study room, so he smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor intends to follow the public opinion this time?" Song Mingxuan just finished speaking. , the white piece landed on the chessboard, and it was another draw.
