The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 689 Rumors
Xiao Nan was sitting cross-legged, so the ring-shaped jade pendant hanging around her waist fell on her lap. When she lowered her head, she happened to see the warm and white jade pendant change color.

When Xiao Nan experimented with many poisons before, he found that the more toxic the poison, the greater the reaction of the jade pendant. For example, if it is just a psychedelic drug that makes people depressed, the jade pendant will only turn slightly yellow. But if it is arsenic, which is a deadly poison, the jade pendant will turn black.

But at this moment, the jade pendant has turned into a light blue color, which shows that the poison nearby is very overbearing, and the jade pendant can change color without touching it close to the body. If it is placed close to the body, it will definitely change from white jade to black jade.

The majestic imperial palace, the Chengqing Hall of the mother of the dynasty, there is such a powerful poison, how can Xiao Nan be shocked.

Also, who is the person who poisoned, and who is going to be poisoned?
This is the Chengqing Hall, the empress' bedroom. Could it be that someone wants to murder the empress?
In addition, although the emperor favored the noble concubine, he did not ignore the queen, and occasionally came here to sit and sit.

Didn't the emperor come today?

So that person wanted to poison the emperor?
Of course, there is also a possibility that the poison is not in the room, but on someone.

But who is this person?

emperor?Queen?Or a court lady?

The more Xiao Nan thought about it, the more frightened he became, but no matter how panicked he was, Xiao Nan didn't dare to show it. This matter was no small matter, and she must not act rashly until she figured it out, otherwise not only herself, but the entire Cui family would also follow her. implicated.

The hands on the knees tightened vigorously, and the fingertips made deep crescent marks on the palms. It took a while for Xiao Nan to calm down the panic and helplessness in his heart.

At this moment, the queen's voice sounded again from the main seat, "Look at this child, the elders praised you, and you are still modest. Hehe..."

Hearing this, Xiao Nan raised his head, there was no abnormal color on his face, but if he observed carefully, he could still find a fine layer of beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.

Fortunately, the queen's attention was all on the pile of documents on the case table, and she didn't go directly to see Xiao Nan, so she didn't notice it for a while.

"Your Highness was joking, how can you be so good!"

Xiao Nan put aside the random thoughts in his mind, and said with a light smile, with a bit of embarrassment on his expression.

The queen asked Mrs. Xiao Tai's body and the situation of the eldest princess' mother and child again. After the pleasantries were almost finished, she got to the point.

"I heard that the grandson of the high school Shuling is studying in the academy?"

The queen turned her head and looked at Xiao Nan with piercing eyes, waiting for her answer.

Xiao Nan was taken aback, the grandson of high school Shuling?Gao Yi!
Immediately afterwards, a youthful young man appeared in Xiao Nan's mind, well, the young man is 16 years old this year, his grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty, his father is the governor of a state, although the little guy is young, he has been studying poetry since childhood Book.

Originally, based on Gao Yi's background and knowledge, he could have directly entered the Imperial College.

But Gao Yi admired Old Master Wei, insisted on asking his grandfather himself, went to Jiwei College to study, and accompanied Wei Mingshi, trying to be able to pay homage to this great Confucianist.

Senior high school secretary Ling had heard about Wei Xianwei's famous scholars for a long time, and after listening to his grandson's request, he agreed without thinking too much.

The high school secretary thought very thoroughly, if his grandson could join Wei Xian's sect, he would definitely improve his studies, and with the number one student of a celebrity, his official career and future would not be worse than those of being in the Imperial College.

So, with a flick of his sleeve, the old man agreed to Gao Yi's request.

So on the second day of February this year, when Jiwei College started, Gao Yi put on the college's senior school uniform and participated in the college's opening ceremony.

If you ask Xiao Nan how well he understands Gao Yi, he can't help being a little embarrassed, after all, this kid has only been in school for two or three months, even if he gets along day and night, it's hard to see a person clearly in such a short period of time.

However, I still have a general impression of Xiao Nan.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Nan considered his words and said, "Well, His Highness is talking about Gao Yi, the eldest son of the Gao family?"

The queen nodded, her eyes still fixed on Xiao Nan, fearing that she might miss any important information.

Xiao Nan didn't modify it, and told the truth: "Gao Yi entered school in February this year, and it's only been three months since today. I can't say that I know him well. However, according to Er Suri's observation, this Xiaolang is very good. He is very good in class. Serious, friendly to classmates, and when I moved into the campus, I didn’t complain too much.”

You know, these ten-year-old children have long developed the temperament of opening their mouths and stretching out their hands when they eat, and they are not allowed to treat slaves and servants in the academy, no matter what they do, they have to do it themselves.

Just this one, many students who just came to the academy complained.

Although I could endure it in the end, a few words of scolding secretly must be indispensable.

But Gao Yi didn't scold him, not only didn't scold him, he even made the bed and folded the quilt by himself, fetched water, washed and changed clothes by himself. Although he did these tasks horribly, at least he took the initiative to do them.

And after he got used to doing things by himself, he hurriedly ran to the small courtyard where Wei Xian lived, serving Old Master Wei attentively every day like a respectful student.

In fact, there are quite a few students who think like him.

When I first came to the academy, there were always a few smart people who quietly went to the celebrities they admired and rolled up their sleeves to work for the old people.

As for the three celebrities, they are also indifferent. Whenever they encounter such a situation, instead of stopping them, they will let the servants and servants assigned to them by the academy step aside, and leave all the work to the students who come to "perform" .

Jiwei College is an aristocratic college. The students who can come here are not from ordinary wealthy families. If they are asked to do rough work for a day, two days or even a month, they can still bear it with gritted teeth.

But let them do it for many years, no one can bear it.

The point is, I have worked hard for half a day, and the famous people just didn't show any signs of it. I feel really aggrieved when I have a hot face and a cold butt.

Among them were even smarter ones, who recited their own poems and articles while working, in order to attract the attention of the celebrities. As a result, the celebrities just ordered people to close the windows and let them continue to work.

This kind of drama is happening every day, and the three celebrities don't think much of it. Anyway, they are getting old and can't read books and practice calligraphy every day. They used to feel lonely by themselves. Now that there are so many children accompanying them, they are happy to sit on the sidelines and watch .

Of course, celebrities are not just watching the theater with bad taste, but observing.

At their age, fame, money and even students are not lacking. Even if they want to accept a closed disciple to relieve loneliness, they have to observe carefully, right?
But those students are smart, but they lack patience, let alone the mentality of perseverance. People come in wave after wave, and group after group of retreat. The one who can last the longest in the small courtyard of the old masters is no more than Worthy two months.

In this regard, the three old masters were somewhat disappointed.

But there are exceptions, Gao Yi children's shoes persisted, and now almost three months have passed, and he still finds time every day to work in Wei Xian's small courtyard.

The work in the yard is limited, Gao Yi comes sometimes, and there is nothing to do, so he comes over with a book in his arms, and sits quietly on the porch reading alone, and when he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he will Muttered in a low voice.

At first, Wei Xian just watched and didn't answer the conversation, but after a long time, he found this little guy more and more pleasing to the eye, and would occasionally speak a few words.

Gao Yi was greatly encouraged, but he didn't get complacent and asked for apprenticeship directly, but continued to "drop water through stone". He believed that as long as he worked hard enough and was sincere enough, Old Master Wei would definitely accept him.

Xiao Nan said all these simply, and then smiled: "When I went to the academy the other day, I heard from the master of the academy that now Gao Yi can enter Mr. Wei's study. How about a game of chess..."

Xiao Nan didn't directly comment on whether Gao Yi was good or not, but picked out a few representative ones that could reflect his moral character and character.

Before entering the palace, Xiao Nan had already guessed the reason why the empress called her into the palace, but now she was asked about a specific young man, what else did she not understand.

Nine times out of ten, the Empress took a fancy to Gao Yi, and before Xiao Nan entered the palace, she decided to investigate Gao Yi's situation in detail. Today, she called Xiao Nan to ask for more detailed information.

Xiao Nan's guess was right, the queen really took a fancy to Gao Yi.Jiaojiao is her only daughter, and now she is getting married, of course she wants her daughter to marry the best family.

This one is the best, not only from a good family background, but also better than other princesses' in-laws.

Concubine Wei Shu's Ping'an married the Xu family. Although Ping'an's life in her in-law's family was not very peaceful, the Xu family and Concubine Wei Shu were in-laws, so they were passively drawn into the First Prince's camp.

Looking at Xu Jingzong's daily behavior, he may not have no intention of investing in seizing the heir.

Thinking that Xu's family became the support of Concubine Wei Shu's mother and son, the queen felt very uncomfortable. Therefore, when choosing Jiaojiao's in-law's family, the prime ministers were the first thing she considered.

After some investigations and comparisons, the queen finally settled on the Prime Minister Gao's family.

However, after all, it is about her daughter's lifelong happiness, the queen still hopes that Gao Yi can be good enough to be worthy of her Jiaojiao.

Now, after listening to Xiao Nan's reply, although Xiao Nan didn't explicitly say whether Gao Yi is good or not, the queen is very satisfied.

Because compared to the empty 'good' and 'bad', these specific examples are more convincing—Gao Yi is indeed an excellent young man, smart, studious, and persistent, and given time, he will definitely make a difference .

Well, that's him!

The sage nodded secretly when he heard this. Since he appointed Gao Jifu as Prime Minister, he believed that Gao Jifu's ability and character, the grandson of high school Shuling, would not be too bad.

After listening to Xiao Nan's narration, he was even more sure of this idea.

After the official business was finished, the sage chatted a few more words, Xiao Nan had good eyesight, and knew that the empress wanted to discuss it, so she hurriedly excused that there were too many trivial matters at home, and got up to leave.

The queen didn't want to keep her either, she turned her head and let the big maid beside her send Xiao Nan out of the palace.

There are many trivial matters at home, which was originally Xiao Nan's excuse. Unexpectedly, after she returned home, she discovered that there was really a small 'trifle' in the house.

As soon as Xiao Nan stepped into the atrium, Yuhan, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted her. After paying her respects, she leaned behind her and whispered back: "Ma'am, I don't know where some weird words came from recently..."

Xiao Nan paused, with a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "What strange words? What did you say?"

Is someone spreading rumors again?

It's only been quiet for a few days, why don't people stop it!
