A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Princess Qi rolled her eyes at Prince An several times.

"What are you talking about? Those I brought were for Prince Xiao An. The Queen Mother ordered that you eat them all."

Little Prince An frowned. Lin Qingyang was curious. What thing was actually given to Little Prince An alone?

"What?" asked King An.

He took a packet, smelled it, and it felt like medicine, but he wasn't sick?

"I'm not sick." He handed the thing to Lin Qingyang, and Lin Qingyang also smelled it. Princess Qi just looked at them. After all, Lin Qingyang should be able to smell what it was?

After hearing this, Lin Qingyang laughed out loud.

These are all very precious "tonics".

I guess the Queen Mother has heard the rumors outside.

"What exactly is this?"

Prince Xiao An picked up the medicines and looked at them again and again. It's not that he was completely unfamiliar with those medicinal materials, but he just didn't know what these big and small packages were used for.

Lin Qingyang didn't say anything, and Princess Qi kept smiling. After all, she was the one who brought him here, so she had to explain herself.

"The Queen Mother had someone prepare some tonics and asked me to bring them to the prince. After all, it's not good to have someone else bring them, because I'm afraid the prince will throw them away. These things are really valuable!"

Prince Xiao An's face darkened as he recalled the rumors he had heard about himself.

Because he has always created an image of a playboy and told others that he has several concubines. Now it has been half a year since he was officially married, but there has never been any happy news from Prince An's Mansion, so rumors began to spread outside.

And they were all about Prince Xiao An, saying that he seemed to have a hidden illness, otherwise, with so many women, how could he not have any children?

The Queen Mother was also anxious, so she secretly asked the imperial physician to prepare the best tonic for Prince An and asked Princess Qi to deliver it.

Prince Xiao An's face turned green with anger. These people outside were really good at framing him.

"Thank you, Princess Qi. I will keep these things and not throw them away." Prince An almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Princess Qi sat in the mansion for a while and talked with Lin Qingyang.

"I heard that you brought back two people from the south this time?" Princess Qi was asking about the two relatives of Aunt Xue.

"Yes, I met them on the way. The prince likes to listen to their singing. They just happen to be relatives of my uncle's aunt in the Lin Mansion. They are quite pitiful." Lin Qingyang gave a general description of the situation.

"There are so many poor people in this world, so you have to be careful." Princess Qi's voice was very low, but Lin Qingyang could hear it clearly.

"What does the princess mean?" Lin Qingyang looked up at her.

"I heard Jing Sui tell me about your situation in the south. Wasn't that mute also a poor guy who deliberately got close to you?"

Princess Qi drank a sip of tea after she finished speaking.

Lin Qingyang was not without suspicion, she even suspected all the strangers around her, but this person was left behind by the prince himself, so he couldn't be a bad person? Could it be that Prince An couldn't tell the good from the bad?

Princess Qi probably saw what she was thinking.

"Just be careful. The prince has his own plans. But sometimes, being careful is better than anything else."

Lin Qingyang understood that Princess Qi was just giving a reminder. Perhaps Princess Qi also knew that she and Prince An were in danger.

Princess Qi sat for a while and then returned home.

The end of the year is always the busiest time, with officials from all over the country busy preparing for promotions in the next year.

The prince is extremely busy with his upcoming wedding, and officials from all over the country want to curry favor with the only prince and pave the way for their own careers.

……

In Tianxiang Tower, officials who came from nowhere were discussing matters in a private room in casual clothes.

"Everything is arranged!"

"Don't worry, it's already been arranged."

"Okay, after all these years, there must be some gains, right? But you have to keep it a secret!"

"It's safe..."

The two people don’t know what they are talking about?

A little maid came out of the private room next door and went to the kitchen to urge the wine and food, "Boss, why is it not ready yet? We have been waiting for a long time."

"Okay, okay." As he spoke, the waiter in the restaurant carried several plates of exquisite dishes to a private room upstairs.

In the room were Zhuang Weining, Aying and Yang Ting.

"It's been busy lately, and you're going to be away for a while. You didn't tell me where you were going when I asked you."

Zhuang Weining pouted, looking unhappy, and looked at Aying with a face full of questions.

"It is true that there is something urgent. I will be back after the New Year. You can help take care of the tea shop here. I asked them to prepare the goods to be sent to various shops in advance according to the recipe. The preparations before the New Year are enough."

Ah Ying rarely coaxes people with such patience.

"Now that business is on track, I don't have to be too busy. I have some serious business to attend to this trip, which concerns life and death."

Zhuang Weining naturally didn't dare to stop it when she heard that it was a matter of life and death. However, during the six months that Lin Qingyang was away, she and Aying had become familiar with each other and had business contacts, so she felt a little reluctant to let her go. What's more, she was still confused about Aying's identity.

"You didn't even tell me where you were going. The winter is getting colder and the New Year is almost here, yet you are going out. You must take good care of yourself." Zhuang Weining was very worried.

"That's right. The Yang family sent some people to me. Don't worry, they will be back soon."

When Ah Ying went out, she received news from Ah Zhu. Ah Zhu was good at making poisons, while Ah Ying was good at detoxifying. Ah Zhu was always unwilling to accept the defeat. Since the last time she attacked Lin Qingyang, she had not done anything for a long time. Ah Ying had also been trying to find out about her.

Ah Zhu will not stay still for long. She must have developed something new or is planning a big move. Ah Ying just happened to receive her challenge and wants to meet her at a place outside Beijing.

In fact, there was some agreement between the two people. Ah Zhu made a bet with Ah Ying before, that if Ah Ying could cure Ah Zhu's poison continuously, then Ah Zhu would promise not to make poison to harm people in the future.

After all, in southern Xinjiang, Azhu is a guilty person, and Aying wants to rescue her.

After getting ready, Ah Ying set off. The General's Mansion sent many people, both openly and secretly, but Ah Ying herself didn't know how many people there were.

A few days after Aying left, the year-end palace banquet was held.

The palace was decorated with lights and full of joy.

Princes and ministers entered the city with their families, dressed according to the rules. This was the last chance for the noble ladies in the capital to show their faces, so they dressed up beautifully. Suddenly, the palace was filled with many beautiful butterflies.

The queen knew in her heart that these "charming", "bright" and "dignified" women came for her son, and she felt both proud and disdainful at the same time, because they were all people for her to choose from.

I looked down on those people in my heart, but after staying in the palace for so many years, what was the difference between what I did and what they did? I was also trying to consolidate my position, and I did whatever it took. Otherwise, in this huge palace, even if the emperor loved him so much, there wouldn't be only one prince.

Now that his position was consolidated, suspicion had already been there, and there were invisible enemies waiting to strike.
