Chapter 723 The White Medicine Powder Sent From the Palace

"Madam, this is given to you by Concubine Shu!" Aunt Sheng sneaked in. After entering the door, she looked behind her and found no one following her, so she reported in a low voice.

He put down the food basket in his hand and took a deep breath, then opened the food basket and took out a small package from inside.

She had purposely taken dinner late, secretly went to the back door once, and picked up a small package delivered in the name of her relative.

There were only a few simple clothes in the package. I took away the clothes one by one, shook them, and finally a letter fell out from the bottom piece of clothes.

Mrs. Xingguo eagerly took it, sat down on a chair on the side, opened the letter and read it at a glance.

When I finished reading it, my face showed joy.

He reached out and took out a small oil paper bag from a sewn secret pocket on the clothes where the letter had just been dropped.

After opening it carefully, there was some fine white powder inside.

"Madam..." Mother Sheng's face turned pale under the light, and her lips trembled twice. She had already realized something.

"This is a good idea!" Mrs. Xingguo's eyebrows were gloomy, her eyes falling on the white powder in front of her.

"Madam, no!" Aunt Sheng grabbed her hand eagerly, looked at her, and shook her head vigorously.

"I already have Ru'er and An'er, so what if I'm slightly injured!" Mrs. Xingguo's face flashed brightly under the light, revealing a bit of strange coldness.

"Madam, no, let...let me come!" Sister Sheng's lips trembled a few times before she finally spoke out.

"You..." Mrs. Xingguo began to ponder.

"Madam, the old slave...the old slave is the nanny of the Duke of Guo...the Duke of Guo...still...is still thinking about the old slave's affection...if something really happens to the old slave, that's I’m afraid that Madam has no one to call her, and from now on...in this empty and cold ancestral hall...there won’t even be anyone to talk to!"

Grandma Sheng cried loudly.

Mrs. Xingguo fell silent, her eyes wandering down on Aunt Sheng, half examining and half thinking. She actually thought of Aunt Sheng, but she was afraid that she would not be willing. If she was not willing, what happened would happen. After that, things will inevitably change, and they may even come back to bite you.

She is the nanny of the Duke of Guo, and such an identity is indeed enough, but the premise is that she stands on her own side. If she stands on the opposite side of herself, she was not afraid before, but she is not afraid of it now!

It was a good thing that Aunt Sheng could take the initiative to bring it up, but now she hesitated.

It's not that I'm afraid that Aunt Sheng will lose her life. Concubine Shu will not really take her own life. If she does take her life, with Aunt Sheng here, the matter will be found on Concubine Shu. Even if She was a beloved concubine, and she would not be able to bear the consequences even if she secretly poisoned the royal wife who killed princes and ministers.

But after taking this medicine, there must be some damage. Aunt Sheng was injured and might be sent away from the ancestral hall, but until the matter was not found out, she had to stay in the ancestral hall. Without her confidant, Aunt Sheng, for Failure to respond to external news may lead to misjudgments.

Only when you get hurt can you make things worse and can you get out.

"You don't need to be here, I'll do it. Remember what I told you before!" Mrs. Xingguo shook her head and gritted her teeth with a gloomy expression. She couldn't be more cruel to herself now.

Aunt Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief. She was actually afraid that she would be asked to come, but she also knew very well how Mrs. Xingguo was. If she didn't take the initiative to ask for it, she would definitely be suspicious of her.

She had to say this, but she also pointed out that if she was really injured, no one would do errands for Mrs. Xingguo in the future.

Now that Mrs. Xingguo said this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a chill on her vest, as if she had narrowly escaped death.

"Do you want me to talk to the eldest lady about this now?"

"No, if you go out often, you will be discovered. When the time comes, Ru'er will be found. It will be bad for both of us!" Mrs. Xingguo shook her head. She was currently locked up in the ancestral hall. Grandma is also a conspicuous person, attracting attention wherever she goes.

Being discovered by others will make your affairs more likely to be discovered.

I think Ru'er had forgiven her a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have given her her favorite brocade. Her daughter was smart, so she should have hinted that she was thinking of something on the inside and she was cooperating on the outside.

Thinking of her daughter's intelligence, Mrs. Xingguo closed her eyes and felt that not telling was the best way.

Don't tell your daughter anything, as long as your daughter helps you secretly. This kind of thing does not need to be explained. It is also good for your daughter to leave the ancestral hall. Your daughter is about to go to the talent show. If there is news that someone is in the ancestral hall The mother who is locked up is also easy to talk about but not nice to hear.

This is what Duke Xingguo thought, and she explained the brocade found at the door very well.

She felt that this was Shao Yanru's hint that she wanted to find a way to leave here, and that she had forgiven her for her mistakes before becoming a mother and would secretly cooperate with her.

They lowered their voices to discuss, but they didn't notice a figure flashing past the high window in the ancestral hall. Qing'er fell to the ground, straightened his clothes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. With the simplicity of a maid, she turned around and headed towards Piaoyun Courtyard.

This medicine has already been delivered to Mrs. Xingguo. When someone delivered the package to the mother-in-law at the back door, she found the medicine inside and changed it according to the method the lady said...

Aunt Xi sent people early in the morning to invite the four young ladies to come to the yard where she now lives to learn the rules.

She didn't live in Shao Wanru's courtyard, but she lived in a courtyard not far from Piaoyun Courtyard. This courtyard was not big or small, but it was suitable for her status as a nun sent by the palace.

Shao Yanru was the first one to arrive. When she entered, she bowed to Aunt Xi. Her polite and respectful manner made Aunt Xi nod secretly. The eldest lady of Xingguo Palace was indeed a dignified and decent lady.

Aunt Xi is the person who is close to the Empress. What she most recognizes is the dignified, graceful and luxurious appearance of the Empress in front of others. Shao Yanru's current appearance, although a little immature for Aunt Xi, can still be seen. Shao Yanru did a great job.

The two sisters from the third room came later. Grandma Xi just glanced at them casually and didn't take it to heart. It was impossible for these two to be selected in the first place. They were just accompanying the draft. Although these two She is also pretty, but compared to the eldest lady and the fifth lady, her appearance is still much worse.

The most outstanding-looking people in Duke Xingguo’s palace are the eldest lady and the fifth lady.

The eldest lady has the advantage of being graceful and dignified. She has the majesty and posture of a royal wife. She looks like a blooming peony. When she stands up, she looks stunning. But this is when the fifth lady is not around. If this fifth lady Shao appears, The eldest lady's beauty seems a bit vulgar, and she lacks that stunning look.

Speaking of which, Miss Shao Wu is really outstanding.

Shao Wanru appeared at the door, wearing a very simple light blue jacket and an eight-piece long skirt with plain white flowers. It was very simple and bland, but it added a bit of seductive charm to her body. The pair of full eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, and the long and curled eyelashes flickered to lock the infinite starlight.

Her muscles are as strong as snow, and her face is as beautiful as a flower. When she is not smiling, she is pure and cold, but her smile is charming and alluring.

Aunt Xi had never seen any kind of beauty in the palace, but every time she saw Miss Shao Wu, her heart would beat a few times, and she secretly savored the taste. That day, King Zhou She also listened to the conversation between His Highness and the Queen.

King Zhou has always been a bit rough and arrogant, and he doesn't care much about women. The only thing he talks about is the eldest lady of the Xingguo Duke's Palace. He has always said that he wants to marry her as his concubine. Of course, this is also for the sake of the power of the Xingguo Duke's Palace. , but now he definitely stated that Miss Shao’s reputation was compromised and she could only act sideways, but is this really the case?

Aunt Xi felt her heart tremble, and some bad thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind. Was this because His Highness King Zhou had so clearly stated that he wanted a woman?

In the past, although Miss Shao said that he wanted to marry her as his concubine, when Miss Shao went to Yuhui Nunnery to study painting, she missed attending the concubine selection banquet. King Zhou also said that he would follow the empress, but did not confirm it. I want to marry this Miss Shao!

If it is true... Grandma Xi hesitated, and then saw Grandma Zheng following Shao Wanru, her expression became even more hesitant.

Aunt Zheng actually came with her.

Seeing Aunt Zheng coming over, Aunt Xi moved uneasily and felt that the chair she was sitting on was a little stinging. This person could not be offended severely.

"Aunt Xi!" Shao Wanru came in, gave a slight salute to Aunt Xi, and then stood up straight. Aunt Zheng stood behind Shao Wanru, her eyes fell on Aunt Xi with a stern smile, and she smiled politely.

Aunt Xi stood up and said to Shao Wanru: "Fifth Miss, you're welcome. Fifth Miss, please sit down. Today, let's talk about what we need to learn next."

Shao Wanru followed the instructions and sat down next to Shao Cailing.

Sitting opposite were Shao Yanru and Shao Caihuan. When they saw her coming, they both smiled kindly, but remained polite and said nothing.

Shao Wanru also smiled back.

Aunt Zheng stood behind Shao Wanru, her attitude was respectful and polite, as if she was serving Shao Wanru.

Aunt Xi looked at where Aunt Zheng was standing, hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said: "Since Aunt Zheng is here, will you train the four ladies with me?"

Since she can't offend the nanny, of course she should be polite to Aunt Zheng. Judging from the Queen's intention, she doesn't really want to break up with the nanny who is just a child. Besides, the Queen also allows herself to come and explore. That’s what Aunt Zheng really meant.

"Auntie Xi, you're welcome. You are a person sent by the Queen. How dare I go overboard!" Aunt Zheng politely refused, still standing behind Shao Wanru with a serious look.

This position was originally the position of the maids brought by other ladies. Shao Wanru did not bring any other maids today, but only one, Grandma Zheng.

Shao Yanru's eyes also fell on Aunt Zheng. She also knew about Shao Wanru's upbringing of Auntie before. Now it was the first time she saw Aunt Zheng. Aunt Zheng looked neither humble nor arrogant towards Aunt Xi. She frowned secretly. She didn't know when this person entered the Xingguo Duke's mansion, and she didn't find out her identity. It was really a mistake.

There is such a powerful person hiding around Shao Wanru. Could it be that she had come up with Shao Wanru's previous methods to deal with him?

After such a thought flashed through my mind, I felt more and more that it was true. How could it be simple for a nun who came from the palace and was so taboo to Aunt Xi? It seemed that she had to be more careful...
