Empress is a sick beauty
Chapter 58
There was no surprise on Yun Yi's face, in fact he came here to answer Ling Xi's questions.He knew in his heart that with Ling Xi's intelligence, he couldn't hide it at all, and he had no intention of hiding it. He just wanted to wait for everything to settle and then tell him everything. Right now is the best time.
Before entering the door, Yun Yi specifically ordered Xiao Zhong to take Xue Qiu away, and he didn't want to see that little guy appear in Ling Xi's room until he left.
"I know you have something to ask? Ask me." Yun Yi rushed to pour tea before Ling Xi, "So? I came here as soon as possible. If you want to know anything, just ask."
Instead of asking, it's better to say that he just needs to? Yunyi nod? or shake his head immediately.
"Ouyang Ran is already yours?"
From any point of view, there is no reason for Concubine De to be stupid enough to curse others in the palace. The most likely explanation is that someone set a trap for her, waiting for her to slip in by herself.The most convenient person to set up a trap is the person who starts the investigation. First, put the doll in the palace of the concubine, and then search it in one fell swoop.
Waiting for the crime to be confirmed, and then intervening in the investigation of the overall situation, involving the real crime, and putting him to death, the so-called technique of disgusting victory is just an introduction.
Yun Yi nodded her head, "He has been on my side since the Ministry of Punishment was completely replaced."
Ling Xi took a sip of her tea, and said thoughtfully, "Is it true that Concubine De killed Tian Cainu?"
Yun Yi nodded again, "Concubine De bribed the imperial hospital to inject chronic poison into the diet of other concubines in the palace. This drug is not easy to be investigated. It takes several years to take effect. Even if it is noticed in the middle, it is very difficult. It may be mistaken for a physical illness. This is why Tian Cainu has been in poor health for many years, and it is also the reason why Zhang Jieyu suddenly died that year. Because Li Fei's diet is checked by a special person, it is difficult for her to succeed. We can attack the concubines who are less important first."
He had heard earlier that the harem was dangerous, and each family was competing for favor and beauty. Ling Xi only realized that what she had heard was just the tip of the iceberg after hearing it today.
"If there is something wrong with Tiancai's diet, wouldn't it be His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?"
Yun Yi patted the back of his hand to comfort him, "Sixth brother is fine, there is indeed residual poison in his body, and I finally understand why he is often weak and sick. He has not been taking poison for a long time, and he eats less. At the level of picking a girl."
Thinking of the pair of siblings, Ling Xi was still worried after all. Princess Yunyin was fostered under the name of Concubine De.And the sixth prince is young, without his mother and concubine, he will definitely be missed.
Yun Yi seemed to see what he was thinking, and came to him and hugged his shoulders, "No need to worry, Yun Yin won't be implicated. As for the sixth brother, I will also make arrangements."
I don't know if it's because of the sympathy for each other, but he always feels that Yunyi treats his younger brother and sister with brotherly affection.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi smiled and said, "Why does Ah Yi always understand what I think?"
Infected by his smile, Yun Yi's eyes also softened, "That's... a little bit of a heart-to-heart connection."
Ling Xi pushed him lightly, but instead of pushing him away, he hugged him even tighter. His Highness Yi Wang, who used to be unsmiling, is now becoming more and more glib. I don't know where he learned it from.
In his mind, as long as it is what Yun Yi said, he will believe it unconditionally. Facts have proved that Yun Yi's guarantee has never failed.Within three days, the imperial decree had been announced to the world, Concubine De was ordered to be executed, King Mu was demoted to common people? All of Concubine De's relatives were affected.The forces that once dominated the ruling and opposition parties collapsed and dispersed overnight, and the situation above the court had to be disrupted and reorganized.
The stumbling blocks always have to be removed one by one, the easy ones first, and then the most difficult ones.The original three-legged confrontation instantly evolved into King Xuan and King Yi fighting against each other.Some people stand in line again, some sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and it is difficult to distinguish the situation.
Time flies, it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's time for Ling Xi to hold a feast in the palace.Although the middle palace is vacant, Concubine Li is the only one in the family. All the gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the tributes from other countries are needed. Let her have a look.Ling Xi was not fit to enter the harem, so he handed over the gift list to the servant.
Common people? The Mid-Autumn Festival in common people's homes is indispensable for family reunion, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon.The custom in the General's Mansion is no exception. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the back kitchen has already begun to prepare the dough and stuffing to make mooncakes.Ah Jiu and Xiao Zhong followed the busy schedule, bringing the mooncakes to Ling Xi as soon as they came out of the pan.
"Look, my lord, this is a moon cake made by my servant and Brother Xiao Zhong. It is ground into fine powder with pine nuts and walnut kernels, and dried plums and other dried fruits are added respectively. Does it look very similar?" Ah Jiu blinked. Waiting eagerly for praise.
Ling Xi took a closer look at the mooncakes in front of him, and they really looked decent, "It's not bad, can there be more in the back kitchen?"
"There are too many. If the young master likes it, the servant will take it." Ah Jiu said happily.
Ling Xi looked at the mooncakes, his mind moved slightly, and then he said, "Go and pack a few pieces and send them to Prince Yi's Mansion."
Ah Jiu and Xiao Zhong looked at each other, tacitly said, "I'm going right now, servant."
"Also, Xiao Zhong, please bring some to Mr. Ouyang."
Xiao Zhong was taken aback when he heard the sound, and realized later, "Yes, the servant obeyed!"
Everything was arranged properly, Ling Xi couldn't help but think of her grandmother and eldest brother who were far away in Yangzhou, and remembered that the last time she received a letter from home was a month ago?He immediately unfolded the letter paper, thought for a moment and then picked up the pen.
Just when he was halfway through writing, Xiao Zhong went back and forth, holding a letter in his hand, and happily presented it, "My lord, it's a letter from Yangzhou."
As soon as Ling Xi heard it, she opened it immediately, and said in the letter that she was safe.Although it is the same as in the past, it always feels different when it is delivered on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.Ling Xi finished writing the second half of the family letter and sent someone to rush it back to Yangzhou.
Ah Jiu sent the mooncakes to Prince Yi's mansion early in the morning, and when he came back, he not only came with a few guards carrying suitcases, but also brought back a carriage.The box was full of mid-autumn gifts from the imperial court, and Yun Yi sent all the medicinal materials and some interesting jade ornaments to the General's Mansion, and also sent Lin Hanqian to pick up people to go to the Palace to enjoy the moon.
Ling Xi hurriedly greeted Ling Feng, and followed the carriage to Prince Yi's mansion.This is his second visit to the palace, but the people below seem to be very familiar with him. Seeing him coming, they salute consciously, giving him the illusion of going back to his own mansion along the way.
Uncle Yu greeted him personally, "This is His Royal Highness's study, please sit down, Mr. Ling, your Highness will be here later."
"Thank you." Ling Xi nodded her head, picked up her teacup and sipped it carefully, her gaze casually swept across the study room, and stopped at a painting.
He looked at the scroll carefully. The person in the painting was wearing a white shirt, with a quilt covering his waist, his eyes slightly closed and leaning against the head of the bed, with a blue glazed lamp hanging beside him.
Isn't this him?Why is there a portrait of him hanging in Yunyi's study?
Ling Xi paced to the front of the picture scroll, and then looked at the table case, there was a ferret face figure placed side by side with the brush, which was bought when Yun Yi and Yun Yi visited the capital for the first time.
While he was in a daze, Yun Yi had already entered the study. Seeing that the man was standing in front of the scroll, he paused for a while, and then walked behind him.
It wasn't until she put her hands on her shoulders that Ling Xi came back to her senses, "A Yi, what is this painting?"
Yun Yi coughed lightly, "I drew it."
Ling Xi recalled the days in Yangzhou, and suddenly understood, no wonder Yunyi was secretive that day, as if hiding something, it turned out to be a hidden portrait.
He turned around, looked at the other party with a smile, and joked, "His Royal Highness Yi Wang's painting skills are amazing."
Seeing that Yun Yi rarely showed a look of helplessness, Ling Xi smiled and said, "In the future, if A Yi wants to paint, he can tell me anytime, and he doesn't need to steal paintings anymore."
When Yun Yi heard this, her face was slightly tanned, she took Ling Xi's hand, and led him out.Ling Xi was led by him, and the two came to the gazebo in the backyard of the palace. Wine and dishes had already been arranged on the stone table, and the moon cakes were neatly placed on the glass dish, as round as the bright moon in the sky.
The two sat opposite each other, Ling Xi took the wine glass handed over by Yun Yi, took a sip, and was attracted by the familiar sweet taste.
"Ayi has peach blossom wine here."
Yun Yi filled it up for him again, "I always have to prepare more, after all, there will be one more person to drink later."
As soon as the words were spoken, Ling Xi raised his hand to catch a few falling petals, turned his head to look outside the pavilion, and suddenly it rained flowers, pink petals flying all over the sky, scattered with the wind, filling the entire courtyard.
"This is……"
Yun Yi drank a glass of wine, bent her lips and said, "It's agreed, you want to make it up."
Ling Xi suddenly remembered Yunyi's obsession with Petal Rain, and shook her head helplessly, but what's the weather like today? There are so many fallen flowers.He inadvertently raised his head and saw the feet on the eaves, then leaned out, and saw a group of guards standing on the roof tiles, holding sacks and pouring flower petals down, and someone on the other side was fanning vigorously with a plantain fan.
Ling Xi: "..."
"How does Ling Xi feel?"
Facing Yun Yi's expectant eyes, Ling Xi showed a slight smile, "It's beautiful."
Although it's a bit childish, this shower of petals is extremely beautiful.
Yunyi was delighted to get the compliment she wanted, and the mooncake tasted sweeter and sweeter.
Sow the last wave of petals, and all the guards disappeared at the same time?Yun Yi got up and came to Ling Xi?, took his hand and brought him up.
Feeling that the man's breathing was getting closer, Ling Xi raised his arms to block in front of him, "We are still outside the house."
Yun Yi pulled his arm down, and pulled him closer, "I made everyone else retreat, and there are only two of us here."
Ling Xi listened attentively, but she really didn't notice the presence of other people, so she half pushed and half agreed.Seeing that Yun Yi was about to succeed, but at this moment, there were footsteps approaching, Ling Xi reacted very quickly, and pushed him away.
Yunyi turned coldly at the visitor, "What's the matter?"
The two words seemed to have bitten off ice shards, and the guard did not dare to raise his head too much, kneeling down and said, "Return to Your Highness, Princess Yunyin, please see me?"
The two of them looked at each other, why did she leave the palace at this time?
Yun Yi nodded, "Princess, please go to the front hall."
"Yes!" As if the guard had been granted a general pardon, he almost used light work when he stepped back, as if staying a little longer would cause trouble for the upper body.
When the two arrived at the front hall, Yunyin had already been waiting on the guest seat for a long time.Seeing the two of them, Yunyin wasn't surprised at all, and got up to meet them.
The author has something to say: Thank you "Innocence Never Dies" for your encouragement from the lovely Landmine!
Thank you "Xiao Mu Lingxuan" and "shadow" for their nutrient solution encouragement!
ah ah~
