Hey, you are reborn too?
Chapter 45 The Queen's Thoughtful Fabric
After Chunmei's explanation, Xie Yongwei finally reacted. To be honest, she was a little surprised.
I thought the Queen's reward was just talk, but I didn't expect it to be real. However, since I ruined the Queen's business, would the Queen be so generous and let bygones be bygones?
Xie Yongwei walked towards the front hall, her eyes calm and a sneer on her lips.
Why not go and take a look and you will know what the Queen's intention is?
"Xie Yongwei from the General's Mansion, please accept the order!" Seeing Xie Yongwei, the eunuch who delivered the order shouted in a pinched throat.
Hearing that the queen had given her six pieces of Shu brocade, Xie Yongwei suddenly became suspicious. This Shu brocade was quite valuable, and even the queen herself only got a few pieces, so why would she generously give it to herself?
Xie Yongwei frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed her brows, accepted the order and expressed her gratitude according to etiquette.
"Thank you, Miss," the eunuch smiled, but his eyes showed disdain, and his voice was still a little sharp, "I'm sure you know how precious this Shu brocade is even without me telling you. The Queen didn't get many pieces this year, and she gave you more pieces because she saw that you were happy."
The eunuch paused and smiled strangely: "Please make some clothes out of this material and try them on."
As soon as Xie Yongwei saw the eunuch's expression, she knew there must be something wrong with the Shu brocade.
"Please trouble the eunuch to go and pass on the imperial eunuch's order," Xie Yongwei pretended not to notice the malice in the eunuch's eyes and said lightly, "Chunmei, take a look at the reward."
Chunmei understood and respectfully handed the purse that Xie Yongwei had just stuffed into her hand to the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
"Hey, how can I do this?" The eunuch refused, but his eyes were firmly attracted to the purse like a magnet. He didn't refuse too much, and Ren Chunmei stuffed the purse into his hand.
"Well, you are too polite," the eunuch weighed the purse and smiled, "but Miss Xie, if you are willing to listen to me, I will tell you the truth."
"Please speak, father-in-law." Xie Yongwei smiled and gave a perfect look of willingness to listen.
"Although this Shu brocade is good," the eunuch's eyes rolled around, as if he was considering how much he could say and how much he should say, "not everyone can afford it. Thank you, General, thank you, Miss. I will not bother you any more and will take my leave first."
"Okay, okay," Xie Shian hurriedly followed and walked to the eunuch's side, "I will take you out of the house, and I hope you can say a few good words in front of the queen."
You know, this eunuch is a favorite of the Queen. If he is not treated well, he will gossip in front of the Queen, and the Queen will whisper in the emperor's ear. It will be difficult for him to be a general in this "stable era".
"What does he mean?" Chunmei stamped her feet in anger as soon as the eunuch left, her face full of indignation and her voice full of grievance, "Is he implying that our young lady is not worthy of wearing this Shu brocade?"
Xie Yongwei raised her eyebrows slightly, without explaining much to Chunmei, she just quietly approached the Shu brocade that came from the palace.
Xie Yongwei first observed the color of the fabric. These six pieces were no different in appearance from the Shu brocade she had seen in her previous life.
Could it be that the Queen really didn't add any ingredients to this Shu brocade?
Xie Yongwei frowned unconsciously, and for the sake of caution, she used the handkerchief in her hand to "explore the way" first. She rubbed the handkerchief hard on the Shu brocade, and then sniffed the smell on the handkerchief carefully, but there was still nothing unusual.
Xie Yongwei's vigilance had mostly disappeared, but the painful experience in her previous life had forced her to become suspicious of everything now. She took out the small porcelain bottle she always carried with her and poured the powder in it onto the area where the silk handkerchief and the cloth had rubbed against each other and around it.
This is her last line of defense. If nothing abnormal can be found even in this move, it proves that the Shu brocade has indeed not been "added with ingredients".
In a short while, Xie Yongwei's suspicion was confirmed. The white powder she sprinkled turned black wherever it touched. Outside that area, the powder remained white.
When Xie Yongwei saw the result, she couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, "Empress, you are really just as I thought. You are not that magnanimous a person."
"Ah!" Chunmei saw Xie Yongwei standing next to Shujin for a long time, so she came forward curiously and wanted to see what Xie Yongwei was doing, but she was frightened by the black powder with a strange smell.
"Miss, what are these black powders?" Chunmei hid behind Xie Yongwei, keeping a certain distance from the unknown powder, with a wary look, "They stink!"
"Okay, Chunmei," Xie Yongwei turned her head to look at Chunmei, who was frowning, and shook the small white porcelain bottle in her hand, smiling, "This is a little thing I made myself. If it touches poison, it will turn black and stink. The more poisonous it is, the blacker and stinkier this powder will be."
After finishing her words, Xie Yongwei added with some self-mockery: "It comes in handy now."
"Miss," Chunmei understood Xie Yongwei's explanation even if she was a fool. Her eyes widened suddenly, looking at the black and smelly powder, and then at the Shu brocade, "You mean, this Shu brocade is poisonous?"
"Chunmei, I don't want to believe it either," Xie Yongwei raised her head slightly, her eyes falling on the discolored powder, "but this Shu brocade has indeed been 'added'."
"Miss, what should we do?" Chunmei was so anxious that she almost cried. The precious Shu brocade was in front of her, but she couldn't use it. "Can we just not use this Shu brocade?"
"Not necessarily." Xie Yongwei relaxed her brows and slowly sat down on the chair. She looked calm and composed, as if she had a plan. "Let me give it a try. If I can cure the poison, this Shujin can still be used."
Xie Yongwei's eyes rolled slightly, and her white fingers tapped the small table next to her. This poison is colorless and tasteless, but judging from the blackness of the powder, it is not very toxic. It seems that the queen does not want to harm her life now, but just wants to teach her a lesson.
What could be the "lesson" for young women?
The corners of Xie Yongwei's lips curled up slightly. The Queen's little trick was just to hinder Xie Yongwei's appearance or fertility.
When it comes to poison that can affect appearance or fertility, is colorless, odorless, and has a relatively mild toxicity, Xie Yongwei can think of one - cinnabar flour.
As the name suggests, this medicine can cause a poisoned person to develop a rash on his face. The densely packed red rashes on the face look like a "red face" from a distance!
"Miss," Chunmei felt very sad when she saw Xie Yongwei remained silent for a long time, and her voice became a little lower, "Is there no antidote for this poison? Then, isn't this Shujin useless?"
"No, Chunmei," Xie Yongwei's eyes were fixed on a point in the void, very bright and extremely moving, "I have thought of a solution."
After saying this, Xie Yongwei stood up and walked towards the house, and did not forget to instruct Chunmei, Dongqing and others to carry the Shu brocade to the Osmanthus Garden without touching the Shu brocade.
"Awei," Xie Shian saw this scene when he came back from sending the eunuch out of the mansion. He frowned, a little puzzled, "Why did you tell the maid to send this Shu brocade to the Osmanthus Garden? Logically, this Shu brocade should be sent to the warehouse first. When you need it, you can send someone to the warehouse to get it."
"Dad," Xie Yongwei bowed and looked directly into Xie Shian's eyes, saying seriously, "There's something strange about this Shu brocade. It must have been tampered with. If it's sent directly to the warehouse, it might cause serious harm to people."
