After half an hour, a young eunuch under Jiao Zhu rushed to report: "Princess Xing'an has come from Jiarui Garden! His complexion is not very good, he seems very angry."
Looking up at the sky, Yong Ruo let out a long sigh: Do I have to guess so accurately? Now the face is saved, but how to solve the trouble
Without the slightest hesitation, she stood up and said to Hua Rou: "Let's go! Let's go to the Qinfang Garden to avoid the princess' attention."
With Huarou, she walked quickly to Qinfang Garden. Feng Liao is not at home today, it is better for her to avoid the edge of the princess for now, so as not to suffer in vain.
She walks very fast, Huarou is used to being a girl, so she can keep up.
Along the way, if they met girls and women, they would slow down and pretend to be leisurely; if there was no one around, they would walk quickly for a while. Soon, the two entered the garden.
Yong Ruo quietly breathed a sigh of relief: the back garden of the Prince's Mansion is still very big. Chinese gardens also pay attention to changing scenery with steps and winding paths leading to secluded places. It is quite easy to hide in the garden for a while.
After walking more than half a circle in the garden, following Huarou's guidance, she walked to a gazebo located in a remote location hidden behind a large area of seedlings—the Youdu Pavilion, intending to sit in the pavilion for a while.
But when she turned around the piece of seedlings, she found that there was already a person sitting in the pavilion... It was Prince Ying's side concubine Lin.
"Concubine Lin is well!" She smiled and saluted Concubine Lin.
She sighed in her heart, and began to tangle again: Concubine Lin has a sterilization drug worth 4300 points in her body! Do you want to suck all these sterilizing drugs
For Yong Ruo, 4300 points is really a considerable "wealth"!
Because the reason why "secret" methods are "secret" is that they are always hidden in the dark and will not be brought to the surface easily.
According to the free information provided by Zhuo Zhuo:
The D-grade and E-grade sterilization drugs in this world, that is, the contraceptive soup used by wealthy families and women in brothels to prevent pregnancy, can be dispensed casually in drugstores.
These Bizi soups are real soups, sour, bitter and astringent, very unpalatable, basically impossible to use to plot against others. Moreover, the original intention of these drugs is "temporary contraception", not "sterilization". Therefore, in one dose of Bizi Decoction, the medicinal ingredients that will gradually "sterilize" people are only side effects, basically not more than 0.1 units, and some clever formulas can reduce this ingredient to less than 0.01 units.
A unit of D-grade sterilization medicine is worth 200 points, and a unit of E-grade sterilization medicine is worth 100 points.
That is to say, one dose of the anti-sterilizing drug in Bizi Decoction can only be worth one or twenty points if it is high, and only one or two points or even less if it is low. You need to use D-level and E-level sterilization drugs to get 4300 points, ranging from a few hundred doses to thousands of doses.
A-level, B-level, and C-level sterilization drugs that can harm people in food, soup, and tea have long been banned by the court, and pharmacies will not sell them openly, and can only be bought on the black market.
If some bastard goes to the pharmacy and asks: "I want to buy sterilization pills, the kind that can be given to others in the diet."
The custodian of the shopkeeper stared at him, and said solemnly: "This store is doing a legitimate business, how could it sell such a conscienceless and harmful thing? Hey, what are you buying this thing for? Who do you want to harm? ? Come on, come with me to see the official..." The ending is: this bastard is either turned over to the government, or he "reacts quickly" and escapes.
B-level and C-level sterilization drugs, if someone who knows the way introduces them and guarantees them, strangers can also buy them from time to time, but the price is very expensive.
However, the preparation and purchase of Grade A sterilization drugs are all inherited. Only a handful of secret organizations can prepare A-level sterilization drugs, and only the core members of some top families with a long history are eligible to purchase them. No matter how rich and powerful the other people are, they can't even touch the doors of these secret organizations.
According to Zhuolu: More than two hundred years ago, there was a young man named Zhuang Shi, who was a core member of a family that was eligible to purchase Class A sterilization drugs. After Zhuang Shi knew the secret of the sterilization drug, in the spirit of eliminating harm for the people, he revealed the secret to the government, and together with the government, he captured several contacts and caused certain losses to a certain organization.
Later, the Zhuang Shi family was jointly retaliated by those secret organizations. Since that year, Zhuang Zhi himself and all his relatives within five years have not given birth to any children, including his family's married aunts and relatives of his uncle's family.
Against the resentment and accusations of all his relatives, Zhuang Shi fought those secret organizations for more than ten years, but he did not achieve any substantial results. In desperation, he committed suicide in front of the Zhuang family's ancestral hall.
Since then, the matter of the sterilization drug has become an even more secret that cannot be revealed.
Those who know these secrets will not easily tell outsiders. Those who don't know these secrets either live at the bottom of the society, or become targets of wealthy families—for example, the side concubine Lin in front of Yongruo.
"Yongmei doesn't need to be too polite." Concubine Lin was still elegant, and said softly, "Please sit down!"
Yong Ruo then sat down in the pavilion, not far or near to Concubine Lin.
"Concubine Lin likes this place?" Yong Ruo took the initiative to exchange greetings, so that the two of them would not sit awkwardly. At the same time, she also wanted to divert her attention, lest she keep thinking about 4300 points.
"That's right. It's quiet here, and I often come here to sit. Yongmei also likes this place?"
Yongruo looked around and sighed: "This place is full of greenery, and it feels quite independent from the world. I really like it." Then he smiled at Concubine Lin, "I am here, will I disturb Lin Fang? Concubine's cleanliness?"
Concubine Lin chuckled: "This garden and this pavilion are not mine, so why bother?"
The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard the voices of two little girls, not too far away, they shouted twice: "Yongmei... where are you? Yongmei..."
Concubine Lin looked at Yong Ruo in surprise, and then looked at the direction of the voice, meaning: What are you calling? You shouldn't say anything
Yong Ruo shook his head in embarrassment, meaning: ignore her! That was not Yujing's voice.
After the two little girls walked away, Concubine Lin smiled and said, "Did Yong Mei come here to hide?"
Yong Ruo smiled wryly: "I made Concubine Lin laugh."
"It's nothing..." Concubine Lin smiled and sighed, "Everyone wants to hide from time to time."
Yong Ruo remained silent.
After sitting for a while, Concubine Lin stood up and said, "I'm a little tired, and I want to go back for a while. If Mrs. Yongmei can't hide in the garden, you can come to my room to be quiet for a while. I live in the west of Wangfu. Tongyuexuan on the road is slightly out of the way, so few people come."
"Thank you, Concubine Lin."
Concubine Lin pointed to a cotton cushion she had placed under her body before, and said very gently: "Give this cushion to the beauty! The weather is still cold, and this wooden chair is icy cold. Lady Yongmei will come here to hide in the future. It’s better to bring a thick cushion. When I was young, I didn’t pay much attention to these things, and my body got cold, and now I’m suffering from palace cold syndrome, which is unspeakable. Yongmei’s youth is just right, so don’t make the same mistake as me!”
The two didn't have a close friendship, but Concubine Lin's gentle persuasion made Yong Ruo's mood even more complicated.
This concubine Lin always thought that her problem was some kind of "palace cold syndrome"? Or, is this how the imperial physician fooled her
Deep sympathy arose in Yong Ruo's heart. Is there someone beside Concubine Lin who knows the truth and is willing to tell her the truth
"Concubine Lin... isn't she feeling well?" She got up to send Concubine Lin off, and asked tentatively.
Concubine Lin smiled wryly, but in her bitter smile, there was a clear temperament that could not be ignored, which gave her a very unique charm: "I am suffering from palace cold, and my menses often last for two to three months, or even several days. The moon does not come, and after it comes, it often lasts for more than one month... all kinds of feelings are really hard to describe."
She sighed and nodded to Yongruo: "Farewell!" Seeing that Yongruo still wanted to send him off again, a playful smile appeared on her face again, "Beauty, please stop! Don't go out rashly because of me. Those girls got it!" After speaking, he turned around, helped the girl and walked away slowly.
Yong Ruo stood where he was, watching the figure of Concubine Lin's master and servant slowly disappear behind the greenery, and was speechless for a long time.
Hua Rou blamed herself very much: "Damn my servant! I didn't expect that the wooden chairs in the gazebo are too cold, thanks to Concubine Lin's reminder. The servant will make a thick cushion when I go back. Let's use Concubine Lin's cushion for today's beauty." !"
Yong Ruo then sat down on the cushion that Concubine Lin had sat on, and the body temperature of Concubine Lin was still on the cushion.
She asked Huarou to quietly watch the intersection, and call her when Yujing finds her.
After a while, Hua Rou came back, but it was not Yu Jing who came back with her, but Feng Liao. After them, they followed Director Jiao and several eunuchs who waited beside Feng Liao.
Feng Liao said to Yong Ruo in a solemn tone: "I just entered the mansion, and I heard that my sister smashed your house. I also heard that you are in Qinfangyuan, so I don't have time to go back to Wuchenju, come here first I'm looking for you."
Yong Ruo was taken aback: Princess Xing'an, did you really smash her house down? Ask Feng Liao: "Why did Princess Xing'an smash my house?"
Feng Liao shook her head, her face was cold and serious: "I don't know either. I haven't had time to ask yet!"
He took Yong Ruo's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you are fine! When I entered the mansion just now, I heard that your house was smashed. Yihei. I also heard that you were at a disadvantage when you didn't match up with my sister in Qinfangyuan, so I got over it in one breath."
Yong Ruo smiled at him: "Is it really dark?"
Feng Liao nodded in embarrassment. Then he let out a long breath of suffocation in his chest, and there was a little smile on his face: "Fortunately, you are clever, and you hid in the garden first. How did you know that my sister would come to trouble you?"
Yong Ruo smiled wryly: "I'm not sure, I just think there is such a possibility, so I took precautions in advance to avoid the limelight."
Feng Liao looked at her and didn't speak for a while.
Then he pulled her and sat down on the wooden chair in the gazebo, and subconsciously let her sit on the cushion left by Concubine Liu, while he himself sat on the cold wooden chair.
Yong Ruo felt that it was better for her not to be so arrogant under the eyes of everyone, so she moved to the side and let him sit on the cushion with her. Fortunately, the cushion is wide enough for two people to sit on.
"Ruoruo, do you know? When I walked into the garden just now, I had a strange feeling, as if suddenly, everything around me was no longer real. I seemed to be living in a glass jar. All the impressions around me seem to be just an illusion." Feng Liao frowned tightly, and her face was full of confusion.
Looking at Feng Liao's expression, Yong Ruo sighed in his heart: Awareness of problems is the first step in growth!
"I don't understand why my sister did such a thing, and I also don't understand why you can guess my sister's thoughts and avoid it with the foresight... I feel stupid!" Feng Liao stared at Yong Ruo's Eyes, anxious and eager, "Ruo Ruo, you are so smart, tell me why?"
Facing such a sincere and pure young man with a spirit of seeking knowledge, Yong Ruo felt that she couldn't make up some nonsense to perfuse him! She couldn't pass the test in her heart.
How can I say it
She considered it in her heart, and quickly made a decision: Lulu is the hole card, and this hole card should not be told to anyone—this is the bottom line.
She can't say anything about the truth about the marriage between Princess Xing'an and Yang Shizi for the time being.
After all, Princess Xing'an is Feng Liao's biological sister. If she uses this kind of guesswork without any evidence to speculate about the character of Princess Xing'an, Feng Liao's perception of her may be greatly reduced, which is very bad for their relationship. of.
"Ever since I knew that the princess is the wife of Yongchang Hou Shizi, I have been paying attention to the princess's affairs..." Yong Ruo said that the princess of Xing'an kicked his brother's unlucky Tong into the water and refused to be rescued, " Because of this incident, I think the princess may be... more arrogant. I am a little worried: What if the princess thinks that I, a woman who was divorced by the Yang family, would be an insult to her by marrying you as a concubine? So I Out of caution, I avoided it, just in case... "
Feng Liao looked at Yong Ruo with disbelief. "You mean, my second brother's roommate was actually killed by my sister?"
He thought about it for a while, and only vaguely remembered that his second brother did have a housemate who died of illness many years ago. As for what kind of illness and how it was, he had no memory at all.
Yong Ruo replied cautiously: "I heard the news, it is indeed so. But I don't know if this is the truth."
Feng Liao suddenly turned around, and asked Jiao Tong, who was following him, Manager Jiao: "Do you know about this?"
Jiao Tong showed embarrassment, but he didn't hide it: "What Yongmei said is true. Many servants in this mansion know about it."
"Why don't I know?!" Feng Liao asked loudly angrily.
Jiao Tong bowed his body, his nose began to sweat: "This matter... this is a matter of Prince Ying's concubine's residence, and it also involves the princess. The concubine strictly forbids the people below to gossip. The old servant sees that this matter has nothing to do with the son. , and the concubine's order, so I didn't talk too much..."
Feng Liao was stunned for a while, then came back to her senses, and murmured: "I just found out today: I am a deaf and blind person with my eyes closed! How many things in this family do I not know? I Is it an outsider?"
Yong Ruo felt that Feng Liao seemed a little sentimental, so he comforted him softly: "My lord, don't blame the people below too much. I don't tell my lord these things because I don't want to annoy my lord."
"So they just watched me become deaf and blind?" Feng Liao was furious.
Jiao Tong and others immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Yong Ruo tugged at Feng Liao's sleeve, pretending to be pitiful and cute: "My lord, you scared me..."
Feng Liao looked at her lovely and pitiful appearance, filled with anger and suddenly felt powerless.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it heavily, and the stuffiness and depression in his chest dissipated a lot. Turning around, Jiaotong and the others said: "I don't care about the past! But from now on, no matter what happens in this mansion...big or small, good or bad, you must report to me in time! If there is any more concealment, This king will not forgive me lightly."
Jiao Tong and the others wiped off their sweat and agreed repeatedly.
Feng Liao eased her tone, and said again: "Today, you know that you are waiting for me outside the gate of the mansion, and informed me of the news in time. This is a very good job, and I will definitely reward you in return."
Jiao Tong and the others hurriedly thanked him again, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Yong Ruo felt: Feng Liao deserves to be a rich man, even if he is young and has little knowledge, this trick of "hitting a stick and giving a red date" is easy to use, and he uses it very skillfully.
"Let's go!" Feng Liao took Yong Ruo's hand, "Let's go meet my sister. She smashed my house, and she must give an explanation."
