Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 117 Equivalent Exchange
The imperial study room in the palace was full of ministers with different expressions.Baili Qingcang glared at the governor of Jingwei who was kneeling on the ground: "Sun Cheng, I entrusted you with the safety of the capital because I trusted your ability, but now you come to tell me why so many wives and young ladies from aristocratic families live together overnight." Are they all poisoned?"

Jingwei Mansion Yin knelt on the ground with a pale face: "Report to the emperor, I am guilty, please give me some time, I will definitely investigate and find out the source of Zimian, and return the peace of the capital."

He has been the Governor of the Jingwei Prefecture for five years. This position is not high-ranking, but it is a position that many first- and second-rank officials are unwilling to offend. The reason why he was able to sit in this position for so long is because He knows Baili Qingcang and knows how much he attaches importance to the safety of the capital, so he has always been upright, and he doesn't give anyone face when he goes on a rampage, even the prince dares to challenge him. If he can't find out the truth this time, he may have to die to apologize up.

Baili Qingcang looked hostile and said, "Okay, I will give you two days to investigate. No matter what method you use, the peace of the capital cannot be disturbed!"

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Shen Ninghua sat in the study, with medical books at hand, and a thick stack of transcribed notes on the table.

Chu Junyi took her notes and carefully flipped through two pages, his brows slightly moved: "Ninghua, what are you looking for?"

"I'm researching what the people behind this have planned?"

Chu Junyi turned his head and looked out of the window: "Over a dozen people fell asleep overnight, the emperor might be furious at this moment, Ninghua, don't you have Zimian's antidote in your hand?"

Shen Ninghua put down the brush in her hand and looked at him: "Yes, I can prepare Zimian's antidote, so what? If I take out the antidote, I am afraid that a pot of dirty water will be poured over my head, maybe I will still be considered a poisoner."

If it wasn't for poisoning by hand, how could there be more than a dozen antidotes by chance?This is something that is indescribable.

"Then are you going to save those people?"

Shen Ninghua shook her head: "Save is necessary, but not now."

Chu Junyi's eyes moved, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised: "Are you waiting for someone to come and beg you?"

Shen Ninghua chuckled: "That's right, I took the initiative to take out the antidote, and what I got might be jealousy instead of gratitude, and when they come to ask for it, the price will naturally follow me."

Looking at the person in the eyes of losing money, Chu Junyi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart: "Ninghua, do you need money so much?" At this time, the idea of ​​saving people is not to let others owe you a favor, but to exchange life-saving favors. It's not worth buying and selling.

Seeing what he was thinking, Shen Ninghua pursed her lips lightly: "Fellowship, when it's good, it can give you help in a timely manner, but if it's not good, it's a ghost talisman. Besides, others are unreliable after all. Instead of putting your kindness there and waiting for others to repay it, It's better to change the silver as soon as possible, because having money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and if you have enough money, you can do whatever you want."

Back when Baili Jinze competed for the throne, there were very few people around her at the beginning. Cultivating influence, buying|buying|buying|officials, winning over people's hearts, and establishing prestige were all spent on real money. Careful calculations, while maintaining the majesty of the palace, carefully paved the way for him, forcibly smashing a path among the thorns. At that time, she wished she could break a penny into half and spend it. It also made her realize the importance of money. Now If she can earn money, why doesn't she earn more?
"If you have enough money, you can do whatever you want?" Chu Junyi chewed on this sentence, his heart moved slightly, "It really makes sense."

Shen Ninghua rolled her eyes at him, this person is best at pretending to be stupid, if you believe his stupid behavior now, you are really deceived.

Bai Ping's report came from the door: "Miss, Master Yin Sun of the Jingwei Mansion has sent you a greeting card."

Shen Ninghua's eyes lit up, finally here!Turning to Chu Junyi, he said, "Hide first."

"it is good."

"Bai Lu, please come in, Mr. Sun."

As soon as Yin of the Jingwei Mansion entered the door, he bowed his hands to Shen Ninghua with a smile on his face: "I have seen the princess, is the princess safe?"

Shen Ninghua had a faint smile on her lips, but she was polite but alienated, and she stared at him with a pair of bright black eyes with a smile: "Lord Lao Sun misses you, everything is well."

Facing those ancient well-free black eyes, Jingwei Fu Yin's heart trembled, and the smile on his face grew a little more: "Princess, Ming people don't speak dark words, I'm here to ask for your help. "

Shen Ninghua smiled: "I don't leave the house all day, how can I help adults."

The fake smile on the face of Jingweifu Yin finally receded, and he said with a sad face: "Miss, only you can help me this time, if you don't help, I, Jingweifu Yin, can be regarded as a success."

"You do your best, and the emperor will naturally see it. How could you just dismiss your lord's post at will?"

"Miss, this is not scaremongering. Those people have been displeased with me for a long time. With this excuse, how could they be wrong? Think about it, if someone else is the governor of Jingwei, there will be a little movement in front of your house. Hasn't it all spread to other people's ears? How inconvenient it will be at that time."

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, indeed, the front of her mansion was so quiet, even some trivial matters did not spread, the Yin of the Jingwei Mansion contributed a lot.

"What Master Sun said is reasonable, I wonder how I can help?"

Hearing that Shen Ninghua finally let go, Yin of the Jingwei Mansion rejoiced in his heart: "Miss, you have also seen that Beijing is not peaceful these days, and in addition to the fact that many people were poisoned by Zimian overnight, it is a coincidence. It’s really hard to say.”

"How about a coincidence? How about not a coincidence?"

"If it's a coincidence, then it's good to do your best and do your best, but if it's not a coincidence, someone must use these things to make a fuss. The eldest lady supports the huge princess mansion by herself, and I'm afraid she will inevitably be implicated."

Shen Ninghua smiled lightly: "Although I don't have the power to turn the tide, it's still easy to protect myself in the dark tide. It's really not worth the gain to take this muddy water..."

Hearing that there was a way to talk, the Yin of the Jingwei Prefecture quickly assured: "How can the princess not be worth the loss, you are so kind-hearted, and you have rescued so many people, the thank you gift that should be given is naturally given."

Shen Ninghua nodded quite satisfied: "Well, people need to be saved, Mr. Sun also knows my rules if you think about it, Renshantang is researching new medicines recently, and you can make some breakthroughs if you think about it."

The eyes of Jingwei Yin's eyes were bright, and a big stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground. Renshantang is Shen Ninghua's property, and he only found out after suffering a loss. She was willing to take action. The wife who was poisoned by Zimian Poison The ladies will not have to worry about their lives, so at least he can keep the black hat: "The princess is really kind-hearted, a small gift is not enough to respect, thank you for your guidance."

As he spoke, he took out a bulging envelope from his sleeve.

Bai Ping stepped forward to take the envelope and put it away, Shen Ninghua said: "Master Sun, you are welcome."

The Yin of the Jingwei Mansion had the cheek to ask for advice: "If the eldest miss feels sorry, can you give me some advice?"

Shen Ninghua glanced at him with a half-smile, and this person would take advantage of him: "Didn't Mr. Sun guess everything himself, but he was just not sure. Sometimes intuition is the closest to the truth, and I have nothing to be loyal to, Mr. Sun." Yes, I just hope that adults will have kind thoughts and not disturb the peace of the people of Kyoto."

This time the matter is too deep, it is not something that you, a little Jingwei governor, can get involved in.

Yin of the Jingwei Mansion paused, and immediately understood: "Thank you Princess, I won't disturb the princess, I will go first."

"Master Sun, although I have proved my innocence in the palace, but after all, there are Zimian flowers in my house, it is better for people to search and have a look." Although Xiao Huanxi does not move now, but give her a little A slap in the face is still okay.

"The emperor has already believed in the princess, so there is absolutely no need to search again, but since the princess asked for it, I will let someone come and check it, so that the princess can feel at ease in the future."

"Well, thank you, Mrs. Sun, and let's search my aunt's house together. If there are hairpins painted with Zimian in the mansion without knowing it, wouldn't it be a big hidden danger?"

"What the princess said is very true."

After sending off the governor of Jingwei, Bai Bao opened the envelope and took out the neatly stacked gold tickets: "Miss, there are 500 taels of gold in total."

Shen Ninghua nodded: "It's finished."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chu Junyi came out from the inner room, saw Bai Ping walking down with a stack of gold tickets, and sighed twice: "It's really easy to earn money."

"envious?"

"I'm not envious, we're going to get married in a few days, so what's yours and mine?" Chu Junyi said quite complacently.

Shen Ninghua has become accustomed to his behavior: "Don't change the subject, today is the third day, Xiao Huanxi probably won't be able to hold on, I'm only responsible for selling you the antidote, not helping you finish it, you can Think about how to explain the origin of the antidote?"

Chu Junyi thought about it, Shen Ninghua's words meant that he didn't want him to use the name of Renshantang.That's right, Xiao Huanxi was poisoned this time in order to frame her, and Ninghua was already benevolent enough to sell the antidote, so why would she send Renshantang to take advantage of it.

"I remember using a mixture of iceberg snow lotus and millennium ganoderma to cure all kinds of poisons."

"There is such a legend." Shen Ninghua looked at him, waiting for his next words.

Chu Junyi smiled: "I know that the Xiao family has Ganoderma lucidum, but the only thing missing is a snow lotus, and my people accidentally got a snow lotus."

Shen Ninghua's heart moved. The iceberg snow lotus and the thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum are priceless treasures. Although they don't have the legendary effect of living dead human flesh and bones, they can definitely save people's lives.And there are still some remaining poisons in her body, with these two medicinal ingredients, it will definitely not be a problem!
"I don't want the gold anymore, how about two life-saving graces in exchange for these two medicinal materials?"

Looking at the person with sparkling eyes and a little eagerness, Chu Junyi felt a little choked up in his heart, as long as she can look at herself with this kind of eyes, alas...

"If you want me to send you."

"No, I saved you once and Xiao Huanxi once, no one will lose in an equal exchange!" Shen Ninghua insisted.

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it to you." This girl really knows the difference...
