Chapter 168(1/2)
On the way back, Qin Miaoyu kept fighting between heaven and man.
How to hand over the Immortal Ointment to the Second Lord of the Mansion Feng, and without mentioning Cui Zun Envoy, she should be blocked from being able to misunderstand her.
This is a difficult problem.
Feng Er is undoubtedly very smart.
Although Choi Buqu is often able to plot against him, this only shows that Choi Buqu is extremely smart.
No one dared to underestimate the insight ability of the second Lord of Feng's mansion, nor did Qin Miaoyu dare.
She felt that there would definitely be flaws when she spoke, so she had to practice in advance.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is half past noon.
Standing at the back door of Jiejian Mansion, Qin Miaoyu stood for a moment, learning from his mistakes.
Her expression changed toward the air and she was instantly excited.
"The Second Mansion Master, today the famous rouge shop in Dongcheng City has a fresh item called Shenxian Paste. It is applied to your face before going to bed. It will definitely be radiant when you get the next morning. I will buy more by the way. Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, Qin Miaoyu jumped to the other side, raised his eyebrows, and spoke in a low tone.
"I asked you to invite Cui Bu to come over. You ran to Dongshi to go shopping? Dongshi and Jiejianfu are on the way?"
Qin Miaoyu:...This won’t work.
After a moment, she changed into a smile.
"The Lord of the Second Palace, this is a fairy ointment. The palace gave Zuo Yue Bureau better. They couldn't use it, so they divided some of them. This ointment has the effect of nourishing the skin. Do you want some?"
After saying that, Qin Miaoyu's expression changed and he looked at the jar in his hand with a squinted eyes.
"You can use something Zuo Yueji wants to give me? Is this beg for food?"
Qin Miaoyu:...It doesn't seem to work either.
She took a deep breath, smiled slightly, and said to the empty person in front of her: "The Second Lord, this immortal ointment is a secret recipe passed down by my family. It is often used to maintain youthfulness. Only by being able to look radiant every day. You are sleeping day and working hard in the case. My subordinates have made this recipe into a facial ointment, and please accept it with a smile!"
After a moment, Qin Miaoyu frowned and showed a disgusting expression.
"You're called radiant? It's better than if I don't use it. I'll lose this garbage thing!"
Qin Miaoyu:...I really can't live anymore!
There was movement behind me.
She turned around suddenly!
Pei Jingzhe:...
He was too frightened and accidentally stepped on gravel under his feet.
"Sorry, I just happened to pass by." Pei Jingzhe turned around and wanted to escape.
Qin Miaoyu was very clear-headed and grabbed him with his hands.
"You're here just in time, I'll look for you if I have something to do!"
Pei Jingzhe smiled dryly: "I'm in a hurry and rushed to the thatched cottage."
Qin Miaoyu was sinister: "That's right, I'll go outside the thatched cottage to wait for you."
Pei Jingzhe: "Smell."
Qin Miaoyu: "I don't dislike it."
Pei Jingzhe bowed and said, "Sister Qin, please spare me!"
Qin Miaoyu was unhappy: "It's not that you were going to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire!"
She stuffed the bag to Pei Jingzhe, of course, Qin Miaoyu had already taken out his own part.
"This is the ointment of the gods. You go with me to meet the second palace master. After I report the matter, you will take it out and say that this morning, your Majesty saw that he was outstanding in style and gave it specially."
Anyway, Feng Xiao couldn't question the queen. If he guessed it himself, it wouldn't be her business.
Pei Jingzhe looked sad and said, "No, I am clumsy, I will definitely be scolded by my husband."
Qin Miaoyu: "I invite you to eat the best restaurants in the capital, and the place is up to you."
Pei Jingzhe shook his head firmly: "I am definitely not a superficial person who can be easily bribed!"
Qin Miaoyu: "Please stop three times."
Pei Jingzhe was righteous: "Wealth cannot be lustful."
Qin Miaoyu gritted his teeth and said, "I will give you half of my salary this month!"
It’s worth it to have that can’t be bought with a huge sum of money.
Pei Jingzhe: "Trade is done!"
As if he was afraid that Qin Miaoyu would regret it, he took the initiative to walk in with his bag and turned around and urged him.
"Mr. Lang must be waiting for you to be anxious. Let's go!"
Qin Miaoyu's mouth twitched:...
...
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the hour of the morning.
The afternoon sun is very nice.
But Feng Xiao was in a bad mood.
He was thinking about the deaths of Li Mu and Liu Fang.
After coming out of the palace, he took the exam to the Ministry of Justice and asked for the files. He then took the exam to the Li and Liu families on the way.
After all, Old Li is over 70 years old, and his life is rare. Although he was crazy and self-destructive before his death, Li Mu's first seven has passed so far, and the Li family's reaction is still calm.
They told Feng Xiao that it was normal on the day of Li Mu's death. Although he had retired, he still developed the habit of reading and writing every day. After dinner, he chatted with the younger generation and said that he wanted to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival this year. But after the night, he suddenly went crazy.
The coroner had experienced it and was not poisoned. Moreover, the Li family ate the same meal that day. If it were poisoned, the entire Shen Duke's mansion would have been poisoned long ago.
As for Liu Fang's death, he was not so curious.
Because before he hanged himself, he was called into the palace and scolded.
At that time, he supported Yang Jian to usurp the throne and establish the dynasty and sought the merit of following the dragon. However, he did not gain heavy power after the new dynasty and had to have a high position and idle position. He felt very uneasy.
After returning from the palace, I was depressed and disliked all day long.
That night, he dismissed his family and left them alone in the study, saying that he would meditate on his own mistakes, and even sent the servants away.
As a result, the loyal servant found something wrong in the middle of the night, and went into the house to check. Liu Fang had already hung on the cross beam and his body was cold.
Li Mu's death was unpredictable.
Liu Fang's death had a motive.
But it was just that coincidentally that both of them died in the first lunar month, only a few days apart.
In addition to the songs circulating in the capital and the queen's illness, people cannot help but think about it.
Even ordinary people can't help but think more and more wrongly.
Feng Xiao actually asked a lot of details, and even thought of some ideas.
The more doubts arise,
After thinking about it, it seems that only one with the surname Cui can keep up with his smart and active mind.
But he didn't wait until Cui Bu went, but just waited to return to Qin Miaoyu and Pei Jingzhe.
The two of them approached and greeted each other.
Feng Xiao looked unfathomable with an unfathomable look, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise you'll bear the consequences."
Qin Miaoyu looked solemn, and there was no sign of the eccentricity he had in the back door before.
"Reporting to the second master, Cui Zunzun had something important to me and refused to come with me, but he said he knew what you wanted to ask and asked you to stare at Zheng Yi."
Zheng's translation?
Feng Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his attention was indeed drawn away by this name.
This person is an old minister of the previous dynasty and an important minister of the current dynasty.
After the new establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian did not implicate the old ministers of the previous dynasty except for killing the Yuwen family.
In other words, as long as you do things peacefully, don’t cause trouble, and don’t make trouble, you can continue to be an official.
There are many people like Li Mu and Liu Fang in the court. Why is it Li and Liu dead?
Because like Zheng Yi, they were not only old ministers of the previous dynasty, but also clearly supported Yang Jian ascending the throne, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi even did the forgery of edicts.
These three people are veritable "founding fathers".
Their death not only caused an impact on the Sui Emperor, but also made people feel that Yang Jian was not the true emperor.
Others don't have this effect.
Feng Xiao thought of Cui not to go.
At that time, Cui Buqu was already serving as a counselor with Queen Dugu.
