"Haha!" Duanmu Xinmiao laughed so hard that he asked Ji Yiren, "Why did you just do this? Did you do it without saying anything?"
Ji Yiren said aggrievedly: "First of all, I don't want Aunt Huang to rescue Liu Bing'er. Secondly, if Aunt Huang goes, will she not know what happened when she comes back? Sooner or later, my adoptive mother will know."
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "You are so honest. You won't say that you are just like me. You habitually put some precautions on your clothes. You didn't mean to harm Liu Bing'er intentionally. It was all because of her own carelessness. It’s stained…”
"Have you had enough?!" Wei Changying shouted angrily with a sullen face!
Duanmu Xinmiao looked at her sideways and laughed: "Why are you so anxious? I just said that... Who hasn't done a few unethical things as a teenager? Sister-in-law, you have told me before that when you were a teenager, you were... "
Wei Changying said angrily: "If you stop me from teaching Yi Ren again, believe it or not, I will really beat you up?!"
"Look, look!" Duanmu Xinmiao told Ji Yiren earnestly, "Your stepmother is so powerful. She is really capable. When she beats someone up, the servants don't even have to shout! Like us, we only need to The villain who dares to hide in a corner and take some medicine must be careful and serve her... "
Ji Yiren burst into laughter!
Seeing Wei Changying glare at her, she quickly raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, said in a hurry: "I'm going to see Yao'er!" and ran away.
Duanmu Xinmiao sighed: "How heartless! My sister-in-law is here and I have been supporting her. Now she runs very fast and leaves me to the third sister-in-law for you to deal with... Third sister-in-law, you must not be willing to do anything to me. Isn’t that the case?”
Wei Changying said: "Why can't I give up? Look how I will deal with you!" She said fiercely, but that was all she said, and then she frowned and asked, "Why is it inconvenient for the Liu family to ask you to treat Liu Bing'er? ? The relationship between Yiren and you is not a secret. I don’t think anyone knows about your ten nights of blood. You delayed it deliberately and the Liu family probably guessed it. Otherwise, why would they let Mrs. Gu lead Keng’er? Are you here to attack Aunt Huang? After all, you are senior to Liu Bing'er. It would be embarrassing for you to trick a little girl like this! Aren't you starting to care about this now?"
Duanmu Xinmiao smiled and said: "I really didn't pay attention to Shiye Xue at that time. I have been thinking about the recipe for the past two days!"
"What recipe?" Guard Chief Ying asked in surprise.
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "What else could it be? Meng Meng San! The Holy One found it before when he defeated Wei Kuli."
Wei Changying was very surprised: "That's the Gu family who was deposed during the reign of Emperor Ai of Wei...?"
"I don't know, right?" Duanmu Xinmiao said with a hint of worry between his brows, "This recipe is a residual recipe."
Guard Chief Ying sighed: "It seems that the deposed Queen Gu is coaxing you."
"I always feel that the recipe that Mrs. Gu mentioned after being deposed should not be the one in Kuli." Duanmu Xinmiao mused, "Do you think she gave me the recipe that Meng Jian San was given in exchange for Princess Qingxin?" "Since it is in the library, with my status, I may not be able to get it when the dynasty changes! If I have the recipe for Meng Meng San, I may not be too concerned about her daughter!"
"Is it possible that this is the case?" Wei Zhangying asked, "The deposed Queen Gu didn't have any other bargaining chips to tempt you, so she just made it up casually? After all, she also knew at the time that she wouldn't live long, so she asked you to protect her. Qingxin is one day at a time?”
Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head and said, "I have considered the possibility that you mentioned, Third Sister-in-law. But then I thought about it and thought it was wrong. You know that before the Queen Gu lost power, she favored the Sixth Palace for many years! That prescription is said to be So it was placed in the warehouse openly, and there was no special hiding. Do you think Mrs. Gu would know about it after it was abolished? Given her character, if she knew the recipe, would she still be able to keep it to herself? Does it remain in the warehouse?"
Wei Changying said in a deep voice: "You are right. The battles in Emperor Wei Ai's harem are very fierce. Since there is a formula that can prevent aging, even if there are big troubles, I believe there are many people who are willing to use it after weighing the pros and cons. After deposing, the Gu family will not care about themselves. Whether you use it or not, you shouldn’t leave this ancient recipe behind, lest your opponents get a chance.”
She thought for a while, "So there is a possibility that this recipe is problematic? It is harmful but not beneficial? So Gu family kept it after he was deposed?"
"What will be the use of the medicine after gathering it together? Now I can only guess the result after a quick glance at it before going to Fengzhou." Duanmu Xinmiao curled his lips and said, "But Master recently wrote a letter and said that Not sure!”
Wei Changying asked curiously: "Why don't you get one and let someone test the medicine? It won't be difficult to get a few death row prisoners in the prison, right?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "It's easy to find a death row prisoner, but it's hard to get the prescriptions - I don't dare to get them all!"
"This is strange. You still have medicines that you dare not prepare?" Wei Changying laughed and said, "I remember that you were able to cut open a living snake and remove the bile with ease! What other medicinal materials can stump you?"
Duanmu Xinmiao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "A living snake is still a reptile, how can it be compared with a living person? And it's the brain of a young child... Just thinking about it, I feel like nothing is right in my whole body... This medicine... Hehe!" "
Wei Changying was dumbfounded after hearing this. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Are you kidding?"
"What are you doing to lie to my sister-in-law?" Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head and said, "If it hadn't been like this, I would have given a few doses to test the effect of the medicine, and how could I worry about it behind closed doors?"
"Is this prescription nonsense?!" Wei Changying frowned for a moment and said with dismay, "The brains of living people have always been used as medicine, either in monster legends or folk rumors! When would a serious medical doctor do such a cruel thing?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "This is not necessarily true. Everything in the world can be used as medicine. It's just that everyone has different methods! Like the flowers and plants planted in each garden, no one will take precautions. But when it comes to my master's realm, Just take a walk around the garden and you can prepare a poison! Whether the brains of living people can be used as medicine cannot be said without trying it, but it is too arbitrary. "
Wei Changying stroked the goosebumps on his arms, his expression not very good: "Chengchengcheng! Even if it can be used as medicine, can you stop talking about this in detail? It sounds really uncomfortable to me!"
Duanmu Xinmiao laughed loudly: "So sister-in-law, you are also afraid of hearing such words?"
"Let's be serious!" Wei Zhang Ying scolded and pushed her.
Duanmu Xinmiao teased her a few words, and then continued: "The incident of dream dispersion was recorded in the previous dynasty, just like the incident of Concubine Xu during the reign of Emperor Jingying. What happened was that Concubine Xu of Emperor Jingying was old and lustful. She was obviously supposed to be the queen, but was replaced by the young Feng. Not only were her parents and children harmed by Feng, but she was also bullied for many years, and then she returned to her old age in a dream... After regaining her favor, she took revenge on Feng. !”
At this point, Duanmu Xinmiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Based on what happened, Concubine Xu should have obtained the recipe for Mengjiansan after the death of her own son, because normally, she would not have been able to sit back and watch her own son suffer."
Wei Zhangying said: "I generally think so. But I hear you have doubts? The death of Concubine Xu's parent and child was sudden. I'm afraid she didn't expect it."
"That's it." Duanmu Xinmiao nodded, "Therefore, it is also possible that the dream that Concubine Xu knew was extremely flawed. Even if she had it before her own son died, she would rather endure Empress Feng's repeated bullying. Suppressed and dare not use it.”
Wei Changying thought for a while and said: "If it is just a need to use the brain of a young child, I can't see it. Concubine Xu and her son were rejected by Empress Feng for more than a day or two. Judging from what Concubine Xu did later, she was not like that either. Such a soft-hearted person! If only because of the shocking news about the prescription... she might not have been able to make up her mind until her own son died!"
"Later, she used the brain of Empress Feng's biological son as a medicine." Duanmu Xinmiao nodded, "It seems that only the brain of a young child is enough. If this is the case, let alone Concubine Xu, she is an ordinary person. If you are willing to take advantage of someone's neglect as an elder, you can take a child away... So if Concubine Xu had obtained Mengjian Powder a long time ago, but had not used it for a long time, it would not be the case. If the medicine is not easy to use or you don’t want to use it, then the medicine’s efficacy will be greatly compromised.”
Wei Changying asked: "What did Divine Doctor Ji say?"
"Master said that he is not sure whether the medicine can bring about rejuvenation, but after a woman takes this medicine, she will definitely be sterilized." Duanmu Xinmiao sighed, "But applying what happened to Concubine Xu, I don't see that sterilization will have any effect on her. What kind of threat is that?" Concubine Xu already had three sons and a grandson at that time. She was so old. To be honest, even if she didn't take sterilization medicine, there was a question whether she could have another baby.
Wei Changying thought for a while and said: "We know that Concubine Xu is one of the people who took Mengjian Powder, and Gu Shi is probably also one. What do you think of these two people that makes them afraid?"
Concubine Xu was from the previous dynasty. She was so far away that we could only speculate from historical records. But after being deposed, Gu was someone whom both Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao had met and come into contact with. Judging from their memories and impressions, Mrs. Gu really can't see anything wrong with her
"At that time, Empress Dowager Deng... was Emperor Wei Ai's concubine Deng Guifei. She was always in tit-for-tat with the deposed Gu family. If there was anything wrong with the deposed Gu family, Concubine Deng would have exposed or exploited it long ago." Wei Changying said in a deep voice, "But nothing has ever happened. Hearing such rumors, either the flaw was very hidden and Concubine Deng didn't notice it, or the flaw could not be used to criticize the deposed Gu family... No, Meng Meng San because it was accompanied by the palace tragedy in Qian He, even if it There is no flaw, as long as the concubine takes this medicine, she will be suspected of ulterior motives! Moreover, the drug is used to treat the brains of young children. This alone can make a big fuss in palace battles!"
Duanmu Xinmiao sighed: "I found out that Concubine Xu has some characteristics with the deposed Queen Gu."
"Um?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said calmly: "Both of them will die badly!"
Wei Changying was startled for a moment: "It is true that none of them died... However, I think many people are either lucky or simply don't believe in the theory of retribution. It may not scare people, right? Especially those who have the advantage of staying in appearance. situation?"
Duanmu Xinmiao said: "I can't figure it out now: Sister-in-law, you see, Concubine Xu committed suicide; the deposed Gu family fell into the cold palace after losing power, and Shen Bo died suddenly a few days after she ascended the throne. The former had to die - she actually let her son inherit the throne after she died, which was really unexpected; the latter was already expected... What I'm curious about is, why didn't you say that after the dethronement, Mrs. Gu didn't hand over the Mengjian San? To save your own life?”
"Whether it's Emperor Wei Ai or the nobles, who would not yearn for youth and immortality if they have a fate like ours?"
Duanmu Xinmiao sneered and said, "After the abolition, Mrs. Gu concealed the secret of Meng Jian San at first, it can be said that it was to win favor. But she was about to die, and she was still worried about her children... Third sister-in-law, why do you think she has such a secret? Don’t you use it as a bargaining chip?”
Wei Changying was stunned for a moment and then said: "Since you have despised this mystery, why were you willing to agree to her conditions in the first place?"
"This is different." Duanmu Xinmiao shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that at that time? To me, youth and temptation are just that! What I am most interested in is not the use of Fangzi. It’s the formula itself! So I don’t care even if it’s the residual formula! But for others, they should only care about the effect of the formula, right?”
"Didn't Mrs. Gu give you half a prescription before after being deposed?" Wei Changying suddenly remembered, "Have you checked it?" (To be continued)
