Miss Zhao's health was still not good. Mo Ying had sent several imperial doctors to see her, but unfortunately her roots were already damaged and she would no longer be able to have children.
Miss Zhao was not in good health, but she looked fine. After entering the room, she bowed to Mo Ying and said, "Greetings, Princess Ying."
"Miss Zhao... should I still call her Miss Zhao?" Mo Ying asked with a smile as she invited her to take a seat.
"The eldest brother's people didn't come, so it was Miss Zhao." Miss Zhao said softly, with a gentle smile, and it was obvious that she had a good temper.
Ever since Mo Ying met her, he liked Miss Zhao very much. Her personality and temperament didn't seem like that of a noble lady from the Northern Frontier, but more like that of a daughter of a wealthy family from the Jiangnan area.
Apart from being taller, you can't really tell anything else.
"Then I'll have to inconvenience Miss Zhao for the time being." Mo Ying said with a smile, "I heard that the envoy from the Northern Frontier will be here soon, and Miss Zhao's status can be restored by then."
"Everything is thanks to the Queen of England." Miss Zhao said softly, looking up at Mo Ying with gratitude, "My brother and I are very grateful to the Queen of England. If it weren't for the Queen of England, we would probably..."
The reason why my eldest brother was able to secure the position of the crown prince so quickly and suppress all the people from my aunt's lineage was largely due to the jade piece that he got at the beginning.
The jade piece that the King of England gave to my eldest brother was an important heirloom of the Northern Frontier royal family. When this item disappeared from the royal court, the entire Northern Frontier was almost in chaos.
Fortunately... I finally returned to Northern Xinjiang...
"You're too polite, Miss Zhao." Mo Ying smiled slightly.
Miss Zhao said with a serious face: "You're welcome, this is true. At the beginning... everyone was looking for it, and they searched everywhere, but in the end they could only confirm that it was in the Great Zhou. But my aunt and the others said that it was not in the royal family of the Great Zhou, and it should have fallen into the hands of several generals who followed them to the royal court at that time."
Mo Ying squeezed the hand holding the teacup hard, it hurt a lot, then he slowly relaxed, the smile on his face faded. Dad only thought that this thing might be important, but he didn't expect it to be so important that Master Yuanhe from the Northern Frontier tried his best to find it.
Taking advantage of the fact that Tan Zhu was missing, he searched in his father's study, saying that he was looking for the letter that Pei Luoan wrote to Mr. Xiao. In fact, he was never looking for the letter. The letters from Miss Jing and Prince Qi Lie were really nothing. It didn't say who wrote to whom, so it wouldn't matter even if he found it.
Daddy died, and this monk was still here, leaving behind Buddhist beads to find an excuse to look through Daddy's study. Pei Luoan said he missed the old people and let everything in Ling Anbo's mansion return to its original state, just to make it easier to find. Then he asked for the dowry list and the matching cards he found, all for this one thing...
Daddy's matter was certainly because of Liu Xiangshan on the one hand, and because of Prince Qilie's lineage on the other. In addition, there were Madam Liu's schemes, the Qingyun Monastery Master's schemes, and the Empress's schemes...
She pressed her hand lightly against her chest. She didn't want to think about these things anymore!
"Are you feeling unwell, Princess?" Miss Zhao was in poor health and was very sensitive to Mo Ying's behavior. Seeing her put her hand over her chest, she asked hurriedly.
"Nothing, I just felt a little bored just now." Mo Ying raised his eyes and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Nothing?" Miss Zhao asked, tilting her head.
"Nothing." Mo Ying replied with a smile, then stood up. "Miss Zhao hasn't visited the Princess of England yet. It just so happens that the weather is good today. Why don't we go for a walk?"
Hot weather is not actually the best time to walk, but it is windy now and it seems a lot cooler.
"Master, it might rain." An Dong looked out the window and reminded.
"Let's go sit in the attic in front. It's close and we won't have much time." Mo Ying stood up. It was indeed too hot here. She could feel the wind outside and she couldn't sit still.
She has been feeling very hot recently. In the past, she would sit in the house quietly and rarely sweat, even if it was very hot outside. But recently, she felt hot even if she did nothing. Now it is windy outside, and although it looks like it is going to rain, she still wants to go outside for a walk and get some fresh air.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Yuxiu and Yuchun had no choice but to prepare rain gear and follow Mo Ying.
The wind was very strong outside and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain. Fortunately, when they reached the attic in front, the rain had not started yet and it was still cloudy.
As soon as they sat down in the attic, it started to rain heavily outside. The raindrops were like pearls, falling from the sky to the ground, making Yuxiu and Yuchun terrified. They almost got stuck in traffic.
The master's current condition cannot allow him to be exposed to the rain.
Although I brought rain gear, I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to block the rain and make the owner uncomfortable.
After walking all the way, it finally became much cooler. Mo Ying sat down in front of the long window, looked at the dark rain outside, and smiled: "Fortunately."
Otherwise, they would have to find a nearby yard to shelter from the rain. This attic was cooler, much cooler than the yard where she lived before, and more suitable for sitting and chatting at this time.
Miss Zhao also sat down and let out a long sigh. She took the tea that Yuchun brought and took a sip before putting it down. "Princess Ying, I heard that yesterday...something happened at the clan house. Did the deposed crown prince of the Great Zhou use the witch ritual from the Northern Frontier?"
"Miss Zhao knows?" Mo Ying raised his eyebrows. This Miss Zhao has always been a reclusive person and usually doesn't care about what's happening outside.
"I know. People around me heard that it was related to the witch sacrifice in Northern Xinjiang." Miss Zhao said uneasily, wiping the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. "In fact, the witch sacrifice in Northern Xinjiang is not that mysterious. It's just that more and more people talk about it, and the more mysterious it becomes. I also thought it was very unusual before, but it was not until my mother told me that I knew that the witch sacrifice had to be combined with a kind of herb."
"Dream Grass?" Mo Ying thought about it and finally found this explanation from the depths of his memory.
"Dream Grass." Miss Zhao nodded affirmatively without any hesitation. "The Dream Grass from the Northern Frontier has always been the most used by witches and priests."
"Do you know Miss Zhao?" Mo Yingyou suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile. The rainstorm had gradually stopped and the rain became lighter.
"I know the Dream Grass." Miss Zhao smiled slightly.
"It's not just the dream grass, there are others." Mo Ying turned around and gave a few instructions. Yu Chun turned around and left. After a while, she came back with a few maids. Each maid held a flower pot in her hand. "Miss Zhao, help me see what these are and what they are used for."
I originally wanted to go find Miss Zhao, but I didn't expect Miss Zhao to come to my house. This is a rare good opportunity.
“These… these… these…” Miss Zhao stood up and walked closer, looking at these seemingly ordinary grasses, but in fact they were not ordinary.
"Did you recognize me, Miss Zhao?" Mo Ying stood up and walked to her side.
"Take one farther away. No, put it outside." When Miss Zhao saw Mo Ying coming over, she pointed at one of the plants and said anxiously.
The little maid holding the flower pot looked at Mo Ying, not knowing what to do.
Mo Ying nodded with a smile, and the maid hurriedly retreated.
"These are all from Northern Xinjiang... They are all unique to Northern Xinjiang. Where did Princess Ying get them from? Even in Northern Xinjiang, if they are not carefully raised, they are not so easy to obtain." Miss Zhao let out a long sigh, looking surprised.
"We found it in the small courtyard behind where Madam Liu lives." Mo Ying smiled and did not hide it.
Those grasses that originally looked ordinary were specially found by Mo Ying and had someone dig them up. Unexpectedly, they were actually related to Northern Xinjiang.
In the matter of Concubine Qu and Madam Qi, it goes without saying that Madam Liu was involved personally, but Madam Liu was cunning and no one caught her with any evidence.
Mo Ying still felt that he could understand Madam Qi's malice. After all, the Duke Qi's Mansion was wavering at that time, which made Madam Liu angry, so she wanted to deal with Madam Qi. However, Mo Ying couldn't understand the matter of Concubine Qu. How could an old concubine who had been in the deep palace and was rarely seen get into trouble with Madam Liu
Most of the reasons seemed to be because of myself. After all, I was very close to Concubine Qu at that time, and Concubine Qu loved me very much, just like a grandmother.
Does this mean that you can't stand seeing yourself doing well and want to take away all the people around you who are good to you
Madam Liu died at the hands of her own daughter, at the hands of her daughter whom she tried every means to push to the high position of Crown Princess. It was her own fault.
"It must have been sent by my aunt." Miss Zhao's face turned cold. "My aunt is obviously the eldest princess of our Northern Frontier, but she has been plotting against our Northern Frontier with her husband. She even gave this precious herb from the Northern Frontier to Madam Liu, who is slightly related to my uncle."
Miss Zhao now also knows Mrs. Liu's identity.
"That one is especially bad for people with weak bodies. Over time, it can easily kill them. Even in the Northern Frontier, it cannot be planted casually. My aunt only cared about my uncle, but she never thought about us in the Northern Frontier. She poisoned me, assassinated my eldest brother, and even my father, all for my uncle..."
When Miss Zhao talked about this past event, she couldn't help feeling a bit of resentment in her heart. If it weren't for her aunt, she wouldn't have fallen to such a point now. As the eldest princess of the Northern Frontier, she could only flee to the Great Zhou with her brother, and she and her brother almost died there.
Her death is nothing, but the eldest brother is the only legitimate heir to Northern Xinjiang. If anything happens to the eldest brother, Northern Xinjiang will inevitably fall into the hands of my uncle. Will Northern Xinjiang still be Northern Xinjiang then
Seeing her so angry, Mo Ying smiled and pulled her to sit down again: "It's all over, Madam Liu has also passed, so Northern Frontier and Great Zhou should be friends in the future, right?"
"Of course. I stay here to reassure the two countries and build good relations between them. Without those people who bring disaster to the world, the two countries should be more friendly. We should seek well-being for the people on the border and for the people of the two countries." Miss Zhao said with a serious face.
"In that case, I have some candidates here for Miss Zhao to choose from." Mo Ying waved to Yuxiu with a smile. Yuxiu went to the inner room and took out a set of picture albums.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be some young princes and kings of the royal family, all of whom had royal blood. Some of them even said, "This was entrusted to me by the King of England, but there are such things. It is better for Miss Zhao to choose it herself."
Seeing this clearly, Miss Zhao, who was originally speaking sternly, immediately blushed...
