After verification, the maid's name is Caiqi, formerly Shen Miaoqi, and she is the first-class servant girl of Zhao Minhui, the eldest daughter of Zhao Anshun, the prefect of Yunzhou, who went to Beijing to report her duties. Yunzhou is located in the extreme south of Lingnan, where the miasma is pervasive and the transportation is inconvenient. The magistrate there is very difficult to do, and most of them are the children of poor families who have no foundation or the unlucky ghosts who have offended the powerful.
This Zhao Anshun not only came from a poor family, but also offended many colleagues because of his upright character. Seeing that he couldn't get along in the capital, he had to submit a memorial to apply for release. Because no one helped him mediate, he was finally sent to Yunzhou, where he stayed for more than ten years.
Long Linwei checked him again and again, but found nothing suspicious, but found a problem on the charcoal. All the charcoal piled up in the corner had been soaked in a potion made by mixing safflower, peach kernel, musk, Sichuan achyranthes bidentata and other herbs, and put it into the fire to burn it to force out the properties of the medicine.
Foods such as safflower are inherently unfavorable to the fetus, but after being processed by special methods, they can be called medicine for tigers and wolves. Every family came to add charcoal, the smell of smoke had been permeating the view for a long time, but the crown princess was far away, and the medical girl couldn't detect it after the smell of smoke faded.
There were still a few women who were pregnant like the princess, and they all became popular that night.
Yu Pinyan took the dossier and read it over and over again, and finally called several capable subordinates and ordered them to follow the two clues of charcoal and herbs to investigate. Hundreds of catties of charcoal have to be soaked, and the amount of medicine required is huge. No matter how good the cover is, there will always be traces, and the purchase process can also catch several suspects.
He left the last two people behind and ordered them to investigate Shen Miaoqi, not to mention the other party's experience from childhood to adulthood, even if they ate a few grains of rice and drank a few sips of water every day, they had to report truthfully.
When everyone had left, he showed a gloomy and anxious expression.
Finding her own sister also means finding Xiang'er's family. After the incident breaks out, Xiang'er will definitely have a relationship with her, and maybe she will leave Hou's mansion with them and go to Lingnan.
Because of this concern, Yu Pinyan was not keen on finding his own sister, and only trusted servants were sent out to find someone instead of the omnipotent Longlin Guard. When Lin was urging him, he asked the last question, and he couldn't remember the rest of the time. Otherwise, with the energy of his command and envoy, how could he have searched for four years and still failed. Don't say that he doesn't recognize his six relatives, how can his younger sister who has never met face-to-face since childhood compare with Xiang'er who depends on each other for life? If you find it, it's fine, if you can't find it, you will be so exhausted all the time, he doesn't care much.
However, if he didn't look for it, God would send him to his door automatically, even in such a dangerous situation. If Shen Miaoqi's identity is verified, it must be reported to the Crown Prince and the Emperor, but when and how to report, Yu Pinyan has to think twice.
If the Crown Princess can give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus this time, it is easy to say, if something happens to the Crown Princess and the fetus, the Hou Mansion will inevitably be implicated.
All kinds of consequences were carefully considered, and Yu Pinyan did not ask anyone to release Shen Miaoqi, but kept her in the dungeon, and waited for the case to be investigated and found out before reporting to the emperor, and the emperor made a decision.
He is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, a sharp weapon that exists to clear the prince's way to the throne. Although the prince has both ability and political integrity, his methods are too gentle. The emperor is afraid that the prince will be suppressed by powerful officials and relatives in a hundred years, so he drastically rectifies the court, just to leave the prince with a peaceful and prosperous age. The prince is by no means capable of opening up territories, but he has the ability to maintain success. The Han Dynasty was free from internal and external difficulties, and the emperor died peacefully.
And the reason why he assured Yu Pinyan of such a monstrous power was because of the loyalty of the Yongle Houfu to the royal family for generations and the wisdom of the other party in assessing the situation.
Because of this, Yu Pinyan didn't dare to hide anything from the emperor. As for the old lady, he didn't reveal any news, so as not to worry her.
Yu Xiang didn't know that Zheng Zhu'er had entered Beijing and met Yu Pinyan. There was a large blister on her back, and she was really uncomfortable. After saying hello to the old lady, she went down the mountain and went home.
Seeing her leaving, Fang Zhichen made up an excuse with Mrs. Pei and went down the mountain too. He is still living in the Hou's mansion now, thinking that after returning, he might be able to get close to this beautiful woman in private.
Yu Siyu sent someone to watch Fang Zhichen, and when he saw him leave, he hurriedly followed him, saying that he was going back to take care of his sister.
The old lady didn't believe this at all, but with Xiang'er in charge in the mansion, there would be no trouble, so she nodded. At this time, the news of the premature birth of the princess has not yet spread, and the Baiyun Taoist Temple has not been banned, so they walked very smoothly. After they walked half a mile, the entire mountaintop was surrounded by the Dragon Scale Guards, not to mention people, not even a fly could fly out.
However, the prince is generous in nature and loves the people like a son, so he only arrested all the Taoist priests and the residents of the courtyard, and the other unsuspecting people registered with the Dragon Scale Guard and wrote their confessions, and then they were sent back to the courtyard. Never tortured to extract a confession. This move won great favor from the public.
With Yu Pinyan present, the prince simply put his hand away and just waited for the concubine to give birth. This is his first legitimate son, the grandson that his father has been looking forward to for six years. If he wins a man in one fell swoop, his position as the crown prince will be considered truly stable. Even if something happened to him, with his royal father's temperament, the dragon chair would only be passed on to his grandsons, not the younger brothers.
Naturally, Baiyun Taoist Temple is not as comfortable as at home. As soon as Yu Xiang entered the house, people set fire to the ground dragon. When the temperature went up, he immediately took off his clothes, wearing only a small bellyband, and picked up the bronze mirror to observe the burning bubbles behind him.
Liu Lu took the bronze mirror to help her adjust the angle, and said hesitantly, "Miss, you have to avoid Lord Hou a little in the future, and brothers and sisters can't do that either."
"Which one?" Yu Xiang untied the knot on her vest, and took off her bellyband, and two plump, round balls jumped out tremblingly, causing Liu Lu's face to turn red, her mouth to dry up, and Miss Xindao's body was really pretty. Now, I am a woman and I can't stand the temptation, and I don't know how Lord Hou feels...
Thinking of this, her complexion changed slightly, and she cursed inwardly, then she cleared her throat and said, "That's right, I just took off my clothes in front of him. You only took off your bellyband today, even though you are brothers and sisters , but you should also avoid taboo."
Yu Xiang waved her hand carelessly, "I see, am I scared by bugs?" Even though she said that, she didn't take it to heart at all. After all, she couldn't agree with the cruel concept of chastity of ancient women. What's the point of cutting off your arm if you accidentally touch it? What's more, Yu Pinyan is her brother, so there's nothing he can't see.
Liu Lu nodded reassuringly, took out the Yuyan ointment sent back by Miracle Doctor Pu, and evenly applied it on the master's back. The small blisters shriveled and scabbed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Yu Xiang moaned comfortably, causing Liu Lu to swallow her saliva, secretly thinking that the word 'beautiful' originally meant this.
Taohong burns wormwood outside. When spring comes, the ground is always wet, and the house will be full of mold if it doesn't live for a day. It smells really bad if you don't smoke with wormwood. After burning, you are about to take out the ashes and throw them away, but you see Madam Qiu in the Missy's yard. He tiptoed in, looking around.
"Hey, what are you doing, you bastard?" Tao Hong pointed at her and asked loudly.
"Hush!" Qiu put his hand to his lips and made a silent movement.
Tao Hong also became nervous, and hurriedly opened the curtain for her, telling her to come in quickly.
"What's the matter? Yu Siyu is acting like a demon again?" Yu Xiang lazily put on her outer robe and tied it loosely around her waist with a jade belt. Liu Lu stretched out her hand to gather her skirt, covering her sexy collarbone and the seductive deep groove in the middle.
Qiu lowered her head and said, "Miss Hui, the eldest lady asked her girl Qing Ya to bring Mr. Fang to her room at a quarter o'clock tonight. What do you think we should do about this?"
Yu Xiang glanced at the hourglass, and there was still half an hour before Xu Shi, and ordered, "Let them meet, and I want to see what she wants to do. If you don't catch her, she will never remember the lesson. Xu Shi You drove away all the servants in the yard before, at least to save some face for her. Bring me my ermine cloak, and I'll go and have a look."
Liu Lu hesitated, "Miss, let the servants handle this matter. If you go, it will also harm your reputation."
Yu Xiang sneered and said, "I never expected to marry in my life. What's the use of getting a good reputation? It's the right way to help my brother guard this huge Yonglehou Mansion. Go, get the cloak."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Liu Lu went to get the cloak, and asked two strong women to carry her quietly to the back of Yu Siyu's wing.
Mrs. Qiu hid in the side room, watched through the window, saw that Qing Ya had left, and then used various excuses to dismiss everyone in the courtyard. Yu Siyu was flustered and confused, and never found anything wrong.
At a quarter of a hour, Qing Ya tiptoed in, looked around the yard first, and found that no one was overjoyed, so she hurriedly beckoned Fang Zhichen who was hiding under the wall to come in.
Fang Zhichen sneaked into the house, while Qing Ya stood outside watching the wind.
Yu Siyu burst into tears when he saw Fang Zhichen, sobbing, "Mr. Fang, you are here."
"Miss, why are you looking for me?" Fang Zhichen cupped his hands in a gentle manner, and his eyes stopped on Yu Siyu's teary face. He also likes this delicate beauty very much, but no matter how conceited he is, he knows that it is impossible for Hou Fu to marry both young ladies to him. Compared with Yu Xiang, Yu Siyu's charming face is more attractive to him, and his identity is more in line with his wishes.
Although he has no relationship with Yu Siyu, Yu Siyu's admiration is very beneficial to him, thinking that at least it will fulfill her last thought, so she followed Qingya to the backyard.
Fortunately, Yu Pinyan and the old lady took away many servants from the mansion, and Qing Ya also knew the changing time of the guards, otherwise he would have been caught by someone.
Yu Siyu wiped away tears bit by bit with a handkerchief, then looked at him affectionately, and said, "My lord, do you know why our horoscopes don't match?"
"Why?"
"It's someone who got in the way and bribed the Baiyun temple master to say that our horoscope is incompatible, which will ruin our marriage. If the son is interested in me, let Mrs. Pei find another highly respected Taoist or monk to bring to the Hou's mansion to have a face-to-face examination of the horoscope. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they have nothing to say. Young Master thinks this is feasible?"
Fang Zhichen muttered for a while, unable to speak. He couldn't bear to reject Yu Siyu's affection, but he didn't want to marry her.
Yu Xiang behind the house laughed angrily, and ordered Taohong, Liulu and Lulu to push herself out. The sound of the wheelchair turning caused Yu Siyu's expression to change drastically, and Qing Ya outside the door was pinned to the ground by Qiu Shi who rushed forward, and tied her tightly with her belt.
Yu Xiang ordered Taohong, Liulu to light the lanterns, raised her chin slightly and looked at the two people who rushed out of the room, "Sister is so excited, the lovers who had a private meeting at night exchanged heartfelt feelings, and made the ancestors know that they must be moved and cry. .”
