Chapter 114 Reason, entering the palace
Xiao Yuan shook his head and laughed.
"Wherever there are people, there are shadows. People's hearts are extremely unpredictable and changeable. Back then, the prince was so kind and wise, but the servants around him just felt that the prince was treating him slightly unfairly, so they framed the prince.
This Buqudu seal was engraved by your grandfather. There were nearly ten Buqu generals under Buqudu. When your mother went to Northern Qi, there was also a Buqu general who was loyal to your mother. Dozens of tribesmen followed her, but for the remaining ones, some were greatly benefited by Princess Chen, some were frightened by Chen's imperial authority, and another thing was that they all seemed to have been affected by A drug of control! "
"Drug control?"
"Yes, after Ms. Chen received the seal of the Ministry of Education, she immediately summoned more than a dozen generals of the Ministry to hold a banquet as the mistress of the Xiao family. After the banquet, she told them that each person had to drink wine to eat. There is poison in the vegetables, and to detoxify the poison, you need to take the antidote every half a month.
The antidote is in her hands! "
Is that so? Xiao Jinyu remembered that day in the Ascott Pavilion. Although the music brought by Princess Yunyin obeyed her orders, some people's expressions were obviously touched after what Xiao Xian said.
It seems that Princess Yunyin only used coercion to obtain this branch of private soldiers, and did not accept their wishes.
And once people feel resentful, it will be counterproductive.
This was excellent news for her.
But where did the poison used by Princess Kumogakure come from?
While Xiao Jinyu was thinking, Xiao Yuan burst into tears and blamed herself.
"If I hadn't forced Aluan to take his people back to Jiankang, wouldn't these things have happened?"
"I really want to see Aluan, Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang again... Our family is sitting in the small courtyard, listening to Aluan telling stories and eating snacks, just like we did in the Wubao in Jingkang …”
As he spoke, he seemed to be longing for some past events, and his expression became a little erratic.
"Aniang, it's not your fault. Sister A and the others won't blame you either..."
"You're tired, go back to your room and have a good rest, okay?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes turned to Xiao Xian, and tears suddenly burst into her eyes again.
"Xianlang, I know you are all good boys and you won't blame me, but how can I... how can I forgive myself... and how can I forgive my temporary wrong decision that caused the death of this direct descendant? …”
"A person as smart and kind as Aluan was humiliated like that..."
As he said that, he suddenly looked at Xiao Jinyu again.
"My child, please don't enter the palace, okay? That palace is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones. I regret it..."
"I regret bringing them back... If I could choose again, I would rather they live a mediocre life, as long as they are safe and healthy..."
Xiao Jinyu hugged Xiao Yuanshi.
"Grandma, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. It is destiny, but as long as we work together, we will eventually have a day of great prosperity."
Xiao Yuan felt sad in her heart and hugged Xiao Jinyu tightly, sobbing softly.
…
Regarding Xiao Yuan's awakening, neither Xiao Xian nor Xiao Jinyu told anyone, so no one in the entire courtyard knew about it except the two of them and Lin Nu, who was closely serving Xiao Yuan.
The next day, Xiao Jinyu gave Xiao Ruoling a recipe book and asked Axiu to teach Xiao Ruoling some tea-drinking health-preserving methods.
Since Xiao Ruoling decided to learn how to do business, she has already started researching snacks, tea, etc., and this cookbook given by Xiao Jinyu once again opened her eyes.
"It turns out that sister not only knows how to make tea and beef shabu-shabu, but she also has so many novel food recipes?"
"Yes! My mother left them all for me!"
She was not lying. Speaking of which, she became more and more curious about Xiao Luan, the mother of the original owner. She showed signs of precocious wisdom at the age of three. When she was five years old, the prince died. The family education and assets of this lineage were handed over to a young granddaughter.
And just like when she was in the Xie family in her previous life, Xiao Luan also had a rich collection of books. However, unlike the Xie family, the Xie family's collection consisted of classics and biographies passed down by their ancestors, while Xiao Luan's collection contained more medical books and food books. , tea, porcelain and other daily necessities.
After reading the recipe given by Xiao Jinyu, Yuan Rujing was also very interested and determined to learn business with Xiao Ruoling.
During breakfast, the family sat together and had a good time. Xiao Yuan no longer cried as often as before, but looked at the people in the yard very quietly, listening to their conversations, and occasionally smiled slightly.
Yuan Rujing did not return to Fan's house, but there seemed to be a needle in her heart, and she was always a little depressed.
A Yuan wanted to study medicine, so Xiao Jinyu asked her to learn herbal medicine first and gave her a silk book with various herbal medicines.
Ah Yuan was very happy when she got the silk book. She opened it on the spot and saw that it was full of realistically painted plants of various colors, with annotations on the side. Yuan Rujing was surprised and very moved.
"I didn't expect that you would take A Yuan's casual words to heart. A Yu, I don't know how to repay you..."
"I will repay you in the future!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinyu would answer like this. Yuan Rujing felt relieved and couldn't help but smile.
At three o'clock in the morning, a palace servant came to deliver an edict, urging Xiao Jinyu to enter the palace quickly. Originally, he had also issued an edict yesterday, but because Xiao Jinyu was not in the palace, the eunuch hurried back to recover. Today's situation seems to be even more urgent. .
Xiao Jinyu must enter the palace!
In order to reassure Xiao Yuan, Xiao Jinyu asked Xiao Xian to accompany her mother and did not tell Xiao Yuan that she was going to enter the palace, so as not to cause any more complications.
…
When arriving at Taicheng with the chamberlain, Xiao Jinyu was surprised to see King Lanling's chariot arriving outside Taicheng.
Gao Changgong seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.
"Why did your envoy come to Taicheng today?" The chamberlain heard about the name of King Lanling and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty issued an edict, so I came here to see your Majesty!"
The chamberlain nodded and smiled flatteringly.
At this time, Prince Lanling had strode up to Xiao Jinyu, looked at Xiao Jinyu with very gentle eyes, and took her catkins, as if he was stuffing something into her hand.
"Your Majesty announced that I will go to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters. Xiao Clan Ayu, if you encounter any trouble, you can call me at any time. This is my token to you."
"You call me and I'll be there!" He said in her ear.
Looking at this situation, the young lady of the Xiao family actually has an unusual relationship with Prince Lanling, the envoy from the Northern Qi Dynasty. If something really happened, wouldn't it be possible to anger Prince Lanling!
The chamberlain was thinking in his mind, and looked at Prince Lanling and Xiao Jinyu with even more flattering and attentive eyes.
Xiao Jinyu opened her lips and said to Prince Lanling in a whisper: "Thank you very much!" Then she followed the chamberlain into the palace.
She looked at the extra thing in her hand, and it turned out to be a willow leaf. Was this a hint to her that if she was in danger, she could make a voice for help?
Phoenix hid not far away, watching all this silently.
…
Taicheng is a forbidden city. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Jin built the ancestral temple and shrine here with the help of Wang Daocheng. The east palace was called Taicheng. It was later expanded to have three layers of palace walls, with a heavy garrison on the outside. The second layer was the central government office, and the third layer was the central government office. Inside the palace walls is the real inner garden of the palace.
However, since the Jin Dynasty, dynasties have changed frequently, political power has collapsed, and wars have continued. After Su Jun's Rebellion and Hou Jing's Rebellion, the Taicheng Imperial Palace has become extremely dilapidated and far less luxurious than the mansions of aristocratic families.
After passing through a long corridor, you have arrived at Hualin Garden, where palaces and maidens are meandering, and large flower beds are full of beauty.
Xiao Jinyu is no stranger to the surrounding layout. In her previous life, she often went to the palace to give lectures to the princesses.
Not long after they passed a peach forest, Xiao Jinyu paused slightly and stopped.
"Little lady, why don't you leave? The Queen is still waiting!"
The chamberlain urged.
Xiao Jinyu asked: "Lord Angel, has this peach forest grown into such a sea of flowers in recent years?"
In early spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the concubines are red and white. Because this peach forest covers a large area, it really looks like a sea of flowers.
"Young lady, it's not just in recent years. When Emperor Wen came to the throne, he favored General Han. Remembering that he first met in the peach garden, he ordered people to plant this peach grove to show the everlasting friendship between the two."
"oh."
The chamberlain looked back at Xiao Jinyu, and her heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have just remembered that this young lady was the daughter of the legendary Han Zigao. By asking like this, was she trying to get something out of him?
Xiao Jinyu really wanted to trick him, just to confirm whether this peach forest existed fifteen or sixteen years ago. If so, it would be consistent with her dream.
If the dream were true, who would be the woman who ordered Gong E to drug Han Zigao?
Seeing that Xiao Jinyu had no intention of continuing to ask, the chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and urged her to speed up and walk to the Queen's Xianyang Palace.
Not long after, a majestic palace was in front of us. As soon as we walked to the door of the palace, we heard a burst of sweet laughter:
"Mother, look, the little lady who is the miracle doctor is here!"
