The Alluring Concubine: The Eldest Miss

Chapter 279: Qing Emperor’s Side (1)

"Those old things, staying in the court will only rely on their seniority to play tricks. They can't be counted on in the court on weekdays. When the matter is resolved, they will embarrass the old man. They do have a hand." Shen Youliehan looked at the table. The hot pot was bubbling and bubbling in the center, and I looked sideways at Feng Qiwu, "Tell your father that tomorrow morning, I, him, and Hou Zhongyi will suggest that the old man Feng Hanxue be a fourth-rank Zhonglang general to lead the middle of Beijing." A quarter of the Custodians."

Feng Qiwu nodded frantically, "At that time, the crown prince and the eldest prince will definitely support us. As for those who object, we just take this opportunity to deal with them, so as to save the uncle emperor from having to get approval from those people to do something by himself after we leave. That would be too much." Useless!"

Han Mo thought about it and said, "The prince and the eldest lady are leaving soon. It is indeed a good thing for His Majesty to deal with more people like this, but I think it is possible to change the position that Han Xue applied for."

Feng Qiwu raised his chin slightly towards him, "Tell me what you think."

"The Forbidden Army is an important force to maintain the tranquility of Jincheng. The person in charge of the Forbidden Army is currently the Hussar General Long Chu. Long Chu is His Majesty's old department, and he is also considered a loyal minister to His Majesty. In order to deal with several civil servants, he forcibly divided part of his troops. He also stuffed people under him, just adding trouble to others."

As Han Mo said, seeing that Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan had no intention of objecting, he continued: "Also, if the lord and the eldest lady are going to Xuantian Continent, Han Xue will definitely follow, and they won't stay here for long, accept The Empress Dowager may leave again before they get used to it, which is not conducive to the stability of Jincheng's security forces, and is also detrimental to His Majesty's prestige."

Han Yu listened for a long time, and finally said, "Han Mo is right, I think if it is really necessary to use Han Xue's invitation to seal things to suppress some people, it is better to seal a fourth-rank ginseng as the eldest lady said." It's fine, as long as she is in the Feng Family Army, she still has real power, and it would be best if she could stir up the anger of those old guys and not affect the normal operations of the troops and the court."

Feng Qiwu was amused when he heard it, "I'm using Hanxue, so you won't be angry?"

"What are you talking about whether you use it or not? We are all members of our own family. Before we leave, we can help His Majesty and the Empress to solve their problems. You and the prince will have no worries. Only when you go to the Xuantian Continent will you be able to guarantee your combat effectiveness. The burden on our shoulders will be lightened." In the final analysis, it is a matter of mutual benefit and win-win.”

When Han Xue heard Han Yu's words, she also nodded in agreement, "What I said is, besides, how many of us His Majesty has treated us these years are no worse than those trustworthy courtiers in the court, and, compared to those people, I think that Your Majesty Trust us more."

"It's really narcissistic!" Feng Qiwu picked up a lotus root ball from the hot pot, "But for the sake of telling the truth, I will reward you with a meatball, the first meal after returning to the city, the first meatball , it's yours!"

"Thank you for the reward, Miss. Since you are not very distressed, I don't doubt that you are asking me to try the dishes for you!"

Han Xue’s words made Han Feng and the others laugh, but Han Yu yelled “Don’t touch it!” He slapped the lotus balls in Han Xue’s spoon away. Not only did the lotus root balls fall to the ground, even the spoons fell into the pot set in the table, and the splashed soup scalded several people.

Because Feng Qiwu served Han Xue with vegetables, the hot pot happened to be relatively close, and the spicy soup splashed into his eyes, and his face was also splashed in many places. He yelled at Han Yu with his head, "What are you doing, I'm just joking with the eldest lady, what are you doing?"

Han Yu was not in a hurry to answer Han Xue's words. He lowered his head and took out cotton wool from the storage box and handed it to Shen Youliehan, "My lord, first help the young miss to clean her eyes. The soup base of this hot pot has been tampered with."

Han Yu said that someone moved his hands and feet, which is almost certain. Shen Youliehan wiped Feng Qiwu's eyes with cotton wool, and said, "Go and find out what is inside."

"Yes, my subordinates are going now." Han Yu said, picking up her small bowl to hold some hot pot soup base for inspection, but was stopped by Feng Qiwu, "Don't use a bowl, it's too eye-catching, after you find out Immediately tell me the effect of the things in it, and the concurrent symptoms."

"This subordinate understands, Miss, don't worry, this subordinate will not startle the snake." Han Yu said, and took out an empty medicine bottle, "I use this."

Feng Qiwu couldn't open his eyes because of the hot pot soup, and couldn't see what he was using, but he also knew that Han Yu was a smart person, so he nodded indiscriminately, "Go, you two should cooperate with each other for the next thing." .”

"The hot pot soup base is prepared by Uncle Zhou himself. The problem can only appear among the kitchen helpers and those who prepare the vegetables. The subordinates will investigate immediately." Han Xue wanted to leave after she finished speaking, but was stopped by Feng Qiwu, "No way." , Your identity is too obvious, you go and take Xu Fei over, let her check, and you provide her with cover and what she needs."

"Miss Liu, she only stayed with Han Yun for less than three months, can it work?" Han Xue hesitated.

Feng Qiwu's identity as the master of Wansha Palace was never hidden from Liu Xufei and the others. Before going to southern Xinjiang, An Nongying asked Feng Qiwu's subordinates to receive training. Liu Xufei, Mai Meng and Gao Zixuan also took the opportunity to ask.

"Of course it's okay. You don't trust Xu Fei, Han Yun and Feng Lang. Xu Fei was trained by the two of them personally!" Feng Qiwu really regarded them as friends, and hoped that before he left, he could make them My friends have the ability to protect themselves, so they are arranged in different places according to their specialties. Liu Xufei, who is sensitive and insightful, naturally falls into the intelligence field. Originally, he just wanted to satisfy one of their wishes. I didn't expect it to help me now.

The cotton wool has been soaked in a special medicine, and Feng Qiwu's eyes were almost healed when he was talking, he opened his eyes and blinked hard a few times, "Stop talking, go quickly, any amount of evidence can be destroyed gone."

"Yes, this subordinate will go right away. In addition, do you want to send some female guards from the princess mansion to help her?" Even if Liu Xufei can really do it, but it is only one person, and there must be a few people who can be called upon. subordinate.

Feng Qiwu waved his hand, "You can handle the specific matters according to your discretion, don't ask me everything."

"The subordinates know." Han Xue left with her fists in her hands, quickly and competently.

Han Mo got up, "The lord and the eldest lady haven't eaten yet, so I'm going to Fenglaiyi Pavilion to pick up some meals, and I'll ask Yunji to help me check."

"Okay." Han Feng also go together, the road is more casual, just take it as a stroll in Fenglaiyi Pavilion, don't be too serious, if you are like this, you will almost have the three big characters "something happened" engraved on your forehead up.

Not long after Han Mo and Han Feng left, Han Yu came back, Shen Youliehan and Feng Qiwu had already retreated inside to play chess to pass the time, the cups, plates and dishes on the table were all confiscated, just because the hot pot soup tasted too much Heavy, put a wooden cover on it, Shen Youliehan saw Han Yu, and paused slightly with the hand holding the chess piece, "Find out?"

"Yes, my lord." Han Yu walked over and pulled a chair to sit in front of them. "This thing is called Snow Beauty in Jianghu, because it comes from a beautiful flower seed called Southern Snow Lotus." Extracted, this kind of flower grows on the high mountains covered with snow all the year round in the Northern Qi Dynasty, because it likes to live in cold and damp places, so it is called Southern Snow Lotus."

"Beauty Xue, Nan Xuelian?" Feng Qiwu frowned when he heard that, "The name sounds pretty nice, and it sounds like it's specially used to deal with women. I don't necessarily remember these messy things after you tell them, so you just say this." What are the symptoms after taking the medicine, and how to solve it?"

"Isn't that just what I'm going to say? The name of this medicine sounds good, but it's extremely poisonous. People just take it, and there's nothing wrong with it. But if you don't find it, your internal organs will be completely exhausted, and you will die after seven days. , the most important thing is that you won't feel any discomfort before seven days, so no matter how advanced your medical skills are, it will be difficult for people with keen insight to find out."

After all, Han Yu is a medical idiot. Speaking of this medicine, his eyes were shining brightly. He was stared at by Shen Youliehan, and quickly withdrew the light from his eyes, and said seriously: "As for the solution, it is not difficult, the key is a kind of medicine. The extremely hot medicinal herb called phoenix grass can do it, this kind of grass is not difficult to find, but ordinary people can't think of it, and they don't know the specific prescription, so they lost their lives in vain."

"Okay, so we still have seven days. We've found out everything about the foot bones in these seven days. It would be nice for me to play with them slowly." Feng Qiwu was talking, his stomach rumbled, and he suddenly complained "Really, putting medicine in my meal is the most annoying thing. I'm starving to death. Why haven't Han Feng and Han Mo come back after they went to get food?"

"Wait a little longer, I should be back soon, and you refuse to let you eat some snacks to pad your stomach." Shen Youlie smiled helplessly. After traveling for so long, he can only eat snacks to save time in order to hurry, no matter how delicious the snacks are I'm getting tired of eating, not to mention Feng Qiwu, even a person like him who is not picky about food feels a little sick to his stomach when he sees those dim sum.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he was attacked by Feng Qiwu's angry little eyes, "Everyone is busy outside, so it's fine to eat snacks in a hurry, and let me eat snacks when I get home, you want to get tired of me?" , you said, what enmity do I have with you, what resentment made you treat me so cruelly?"

"I don't have any grudges or grudges with you. Isn't this afraid that you will be hungry?" Shen Youliehan yelled at himself helplessly, and coaxed others by the way, "How about I cook a bowl of noodles for you first?"

"No need, let's eat together when Han Mo and the others come back." Feng Qiwu rubbed his stomach as if comforting himself. "Actually, I'm not very hungry, but my stomach is screaming."

She said and raised her eyes to look at Han Yu, "By the way, didn't you say that Xuemei is hard to find even with the most powerful medical skills? Then how did you find out? Could it be that the person who poisoned him was very good at tricking himself? Have you been cheated?"

"It's really not the trick of the poisoner. The subordinates haven't found out the way of the other party's poisoning." Han Yu said with a strange expression, and there was still some doubts on his face.

"Didn't find the way of poisoning?" Feng Qiwu raised his voice, "Then how did you find out that the hot pot soup was drugged?"

"It's not medicine. Just now Han Xue roughly told me that although Uncle Zhou made the soup base of today's hot pot, a newcomer went to Fenglaiyi Pavilion to get these ingredients. I have never eaten Houttuynia cordata since I was a child. Yao didn't know my preference, so she took some Houttuynia cordata to enhance the smell. Although it was covered by the hot pot soup, it was almost inaudible, but the taboo from childhood still stimulated my sense of smell. I thought it was poison, so I went to war. I didn't expect that I didn't find the poison I was looking for, but I found this thing by accident. If someone is poisoned by this poison, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it until I die."

Hearing Han Yu's words, Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan couldn't laugh or cry, but they were also glad that Han Yu had this problem, otherwise they really don't know if Han Xue would survive.

"Okay, you can sit here first, and wait for Hanfeng and the others to come back and have something to eat together." Feng Qiwu stood up and made room for the place next to the chessboard, "Come and play with him, I am so hungry that I have no energy to use my brain." gone."

"Prince, Miss, Miss Liu is here." Han Xue's voice sounded outside, Feng Qiwu laughed and scolded: "You haven't come in yet, wait for us to invite you?"

"Really, I can't take a joke at all." Liu Xufei cursed and opened the door and came in to look at the untouched food on the table, "You almost killed yourself by being greedy as soon as you came back, right?"

"I still have to eat if I'm not greedy. As long as I eat, people have to do it." Feng Qiwu put a chair beside her, "Han Xue told you the specific situation, what do you think?"

Liu Xufei nodded, and explained calmly, "It is most convenient to solve the food matters in the kitchen. I want to call Zixuan and Mengmeng to get close to the maids of the palace for the reason of asking Uncle Zhou for cooking skills." People, even if they are not the poisoners, they will know a little more about the things in the kitchen than the people outside, and the rest can be taken one step at a time. After all, the identity and purpose of the other party are not clear, we have no choice Too many plans."

"You're right. We currently have too little information to support us in making an overall plan." Feng Qiwu said, appreciatively: "At first I only thought you were sensitive and suitable for intelligence work. Thinking that you can really do this, but there is one more thing, starting tomorrow, you should find a way to let you and your mother and those official wives and ladies you have good friends hold more gatherings and the like, Mr. Jingzhong Miss invites more, as long as it doesn't break the standard of general banquets, invite as many as you can, and do as many as you can."

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that!" Liu Xufei clapped his hands in surprise, "In this case, it's no secret that Mengmeng Zixuan and I have a good relationship with you in Beijing. Those are the people, regardless of whether the person who strikes is a member of the court or not, they will always find ways to find out the news, whoever cares most about the news from the palace these days will be suspected!"

"Smart!" Feng Qiwu snapped his fingers, "That's what it means. Only investigate in the palace. Even if the poisoner is found, it's just a puppet. It's useless. Since we need to investigate, we'd better catch the mastermind behind the scenes." Come out, otherwise even if we are fine this time, they will still attack in the future, so do I still have to eat?"

"Food is more important than life, will you focus on the key points?" Liu Xufei was almost pissed off by Feng Qiwu.

Just as they were talking, Han Mo and Han Feng came in with a food box. Feng Qiwu's eyes lit up, and he was about to throw himself on the dining table when he was held back by Shen Youliehan. He looked at the food box suspiciously, "this time There won't be anything that shouldn't be there, will it?"

"After Yunji found out about what happened in the palace, all the ingredients for the hot pot soup base were picked randomly, and she also took a lot of things that the prince and the eldest lady don't usually eat. Let Han Yu check the soup base later. The soup base is fine, and other dishes will be fine."

"Okay, it's not that the goddess sprinkled flowers when they poisoned, so I can eat one meal and they will have another meal?" Feng Qiwu got up and pushed Shen Youliehan's hand away, "Han Yu looks at the bottom of the soup, you put it on the table. Everyone left, and everyone sat down to eat together, and then went back to their respective houses and went to their respective mothers!"

The time for a meal is not too long, but it has been almost two hours from the start of the meal to the interruption by the poison incident, and the start to the end of the meal after such a long time. By the time they finished eating, it was dark, At Xu time in December, the sky was completely dark, and things were chaotic and without results. I was very tired from the journey, so I went to rest, but I had the most peaceful sleep in the past six months.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Youliehan rarely woke up as early as the Chinese military officials in the court. He woke up at the end of Yinshi, because Feng Qiwu was not by his side, he did not deliberately lighten his movements, and Han Mo, who was standing guard outside at night, quickly woke up. Followed in, "Your Majesty, you've been working so hard for the past few days, why don't you sleep more, and His Majesty doesn't ask you to go to court on time, so it doesn't matter if you report later."

"Today is not just about reporting the battle situation." Shen Youliehan quickly put on his clothes, went to the shelf to wash his face, "Who were you on duty with last night?"

"Back to the lord, it's the subordinate and Han Bai." After Han Mo finished answering, he continued to add: "But Han Yu wanted to find out the method of poisoning the other party as soon as possible, so he didn't sleep. Han Feng was standing guard at the eldest lady's side. Xue's body hasn't fully recovered yet, so we asked Han Yu to send her to rest."

"Drugged someone again?" Shen Youliehan revealed half of his face from behind the cotton handkerchief.

Han Mo shook his head, "No, this time Han Xue knew that she had been hit by a rice bag and frightened Han Yu. Usually, if there is nothing important, she will follow Han Yu, so as not to make a fuss to the point of prescribing drugs."

"Okay, let's leave him alone, you send a few people to wait in Zhongyi, General Feng, and tell us about our proposal last night on the way, both of them are smart people, and they are not pedantic, as long as they speak a little, they will understand us the meaning of."
