Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

Chapter Forty-Six

Yun Fenghuang was quite surprised when he heard the words: "Pharmacy store? I heard that your adoptive parents are not farmers?"

As for Yi Xingen's biological parents... Didn't Yi Xingen forget all about it because of high fever after being separated from his family, and then end up in the hands of Ren Yazi? Send it to the envoy of flowers and birds?

"...Concubine...Concubine..." Yi Xingen realized that she had slipped her tongue, her face paled immediately, and she knelt down subconsciously, "Please forgive me, concubine..."

However, Yun Fenghuang glanced at her, but didn't mean to ask further questions, and just handed the prescription to her: "Then you can see for yourself, after all, it's something to eat, if you're not sure, you'd better wait for Ben Gong to ask the imperial physician about it." It’s not too late to use it. It’s not too late.”

"...Thank you for your kindness!" Yi Xingen breathed a long sigh of relief, took the prescription gratefully, looked at it and thought about it, after a while, she nodded affirmatively, and said, "My lady, although I can't see this prescription specific effect, but absolutely no harm."

Xu Shi reciprocated Yun Fenghuang without getting to the bottom of her details, and then flattered, "After all, no matter what Concubine Ji does, how dare she play tricks in front of the empress?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled: "In this case, then you can keep this prescription, and send your subordinates to handle whatever you need. Even if the pharmacy in Wannian County is not as complete as the pharmacy in the palace, at least it is a place in the capital. There is nothing unusual about this recipe in my palace, I guess it can be completed without going to Qishan Palace."

Knowing that Yi Xingen's status is not high and her monthly income is low, and she is unlikely to have any personal money due to her background, "Just keep this part of the expenses in my palace account."

Anyway, Ji Muzi left in a hurry and basically didn't pack anything. The daughter-in-law of Zanying from generation to generation has high vision, and it is not uncommon to carry almost anything with her. Now most of them are accepted by Yun Fenghuang with a smile. Just taking out a few pieces of jewelry is enough for Yi Xingen to eat the fertility medicine as a meal.

This is the person who gave birth to her children, so she can't treat her too badly.

After comforting Yi Xingen in this way, Yun Fenghuang led the people back to his yard through the rain.

At this time, the emperor was already sound asleep, and she didn't want to disturb him, nor did she have the heart to disturb him.

But he brought a few confidantes to the side room to talk: "Chen Zhu, send someone to go to Zhizhou, so that you can check the details of Yi Fengyi. The key point is the pharmacy in Zhizhou."

Chen Zhu quickly agreed: "Your servant obeys orders! I will do it after dawn!"

This matter is not difficult, although Yi Fengyi's name was obtained later, but the outstanding appearance, being separated from his family, and the fact that there may be a pharmacy at home or someone who understands medical science are enough to find out the clues.

Yun Fenghuang didn't really care much about whether Yi Xingen came from a good family or not, but she was in charge of her, so of course the details had to be clarified.

Didn't Empress Ji not know her well enough, which made her do a lot of tricks under her nose, and now she even abandoned the Ji family to join the emperor?

How could she not learn a lesson, lest she suffer retribution?

"When inquiring, try to be as quiet as possible. Even if you find Yi Fengyi's family members, don't be disturbed. After confirming, report to Bengong." Thinking that since Yi Xingen can read the prescription, he obviously remembers the past, But instead of looking for her family, letting Ren Yazi find a farmer to send her to the palace, there must be some inside story—Yun Fenghuang reminded Chen Zhu again, "It's okay to slow down this matter, I have to take care of it for the palace!"

Chen Zhu said with a smile: "Your servant will take care of it, please rest assured, Madam!"

Yun Fenghuang nodded slightly, and then turned to Xijing Xile: "You have all seen the scene just now, what do you think?"

She usually uses these two court ladies the most, and she compares Nian Xuan to them. She never said that she is arrogant and domineering, but she always looks forward to it with composure. At this moment, both faces were pale. Hearing this, Xi Le looked at each other, and said in a low voice, "The maidservants are the ones who serve the empress, so of course the empress will do whatever she says."

Hearing this, Xijing looked at her in disbelief, because he didn't expect Xile to compromise so quickly.

"What about you?" Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea without giving Xijing time to react, and asked forcefully, "Xijing, what do you think?"

"My maid..." Xi Jing opened his mouth and subconsciously looked around.

Liuhong lowered her head, standing like a log, no different from usual... Xijing remembered that when she came to Yunfenghuang, she watched him for a while, because after all, it was Yunfenghuang who asked for it from Yanfu Palace. people. But after such a period of time, she didn't find any special relationship with Yun Fenghuang, she seemed to be just a pure master and servant, so she gradually didn't take it to heart.

Now Yun Fenghuang's focus is obviously not on her, she maintains her usual demeanor and has not received any extra attention.

As for Nian Xuan, she was a little uneasy, looking at this for a while, and looking at that for a while, she was a little at a loss. But she served Yun Fenghuang as a minor servant, accompanied the master all the way from the north to the imperial capital, and entered the palace by mistake... Based on this alone, she will not have her part in the current questioning.

Chen Zhu was the only one among the servants who was called in. At this moment, his eyes were on his nose, his nose was on his heart, and he looked at the floor tiles not far away with slightly lowered eyes, as if he hadn't noticed Xijing's eyes at all.

Xijing finally looked at Xile again, this companion who entered the palace with her, studied with the aunts together, entered Yanfu Palace together, and went to Yunfenghuang's side together, although she also maintained the same respect as Chen Zhu. The posture of the head is focused, but the back is standing straight, without the slightest hesitation and entanglement after being forced to betray.

She suddenly came to her senses, pointing at Xi Le: "You have betrayed your empress long ago!!!"

"The servant girl has always belonged to the empress, why did she betray?" Xi Le raised her eyes to look at her, and asked calmly, "It's you Xijing, the empress is right in front of you, yelling, what's the matter?! "

The "Niang Niang" they mentioned is obviously not the same person.

Xi Jing didn't expect her to admit it like this, her eyes were red with anger, and she said in a trembling voice: "Don't forget that you broke the rules back then, who saved you..."

"It's the Empress." Xi Le said disapprovingly, "So the Empress ordered the servant girl to serve the Empress Jieyu. Of course the servant girl must do her best!"

She has never belonged to the Empress, so of course her feelings for Empress Ji are not deep, and the night that Concubine Zheng Guifei visited Kui Ye was forced by Yun Fenghuang to abandon Gong Xiangxiao—no matter how complicated her emotions were at the time, this After many days of adjustment, it has long since calmed down.

Therefore, facing Xijing's excitement, there was no disturbance at all, and he was confident: "It's you, Xijing, what do you mean by saying that? The empress never said that I would wait by Jieyu's side to half-heartedly. Could it be that they intentionally stirred up the rift between the Empress Empress and Empress Jieyu?!"

"..." Xijing's chest rose and fell violently, and he said in a hateful voice, "Baby maid! I won't tell you now, I'll see how the empress treats you later!"

In the end, he turned his head to Yun Fenghuang, who was drinking tea quietly, "The maidservant is too dull to serve the empress, so please ask the maidservant to send the maidservant to the empress's presence!"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Okay."

Xijing was secretly relieved when he heard the words, the queen was not in Wannian County after all, she was really afraid that Yun Fenghuang would hold her back and not let her go.

When she sees the queen, when the time comes... She glanced at Xi Le bitterly, and heard Yun Fenghuang say again: "In that case, you go down first, and pack your things by the way."

She quickly agreed and went out.

At this time, the rain was still falling, but it was much lighter. It hit the flowers and trees on the eaves, and it was almost a whisper.

Not a while after Xijing left, there was a muffled groan that was pushed back in the noise, and then the pattering rain curtain seemed to be disturbed by something, and a few incongruous tones burst in, but vaguely in the sound of the wind and rain. Can't hear clearly.

The people in the room seemed to have thought of something, and their faces changed a little.

Only Yun Fenghuang's expression was calm, and after a while, he asked Chen Zhu: "How do you say that?"

"Miss Xijing was lying on the couch because of the rain and sickness. The county government is narrow, and it's where the emperor resides. In order to avoid getting sick and hurting His Majesty, she should be moved out." Chen Zhu lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye. She said with the same expression at that time, "Poor Miss Xijing, who was so beautiful and unlucky, she died after staying outside for a night... Your empress is merciful, and ordered her servants to send her a mat to be buried in a mass grave outside the city, but it is better than those who exposed their corpses in the wilderness." Lonely ghosts are much stronger."

Yun Fenghuang sighed: "Anyway, master and servant, just give her a thin coffin, it's not short of a few silver."

"Your Majesty is really kind." Chen Zhu said immediately, "It's a pity that Miss Xijing has a short life after all, and she doesn't deserve to continue serving a kind-hearted master like you."

Xi Le hastily seconded the proposal, while Nian Xuan and Liu Hong were half a beat behind to catch up.

So the kind-hearted Yun Fenghuang sighed for a while, and then turned back to the topic: "Your Majesty just revealed that after arriving at the Qishan Palace, he will probably nominate the palace again. At that time, Liugong may say that there will be another congratulations But now that Xijing is gone, you should take care of the manpower, so as not to be in a hurry and lose the face of Xuanqing Palace. Remember, the substitute must be smart and tidy, and the loyal leader must also be careful. It must be reliable. I can't tolerate that screwdriver eating the inside out!"

Chen Zhu and the others were secretly relieved when they heard the words. They actually had no objection to Yun Fenghuang's change of camp, and what they were worried about was nothing more than Yuan Niangniang—but since the emperor agreed to be promoted, it can be seen that they still have some love and protection for Yun Fenghuang. If you follow this master, you will still have hope, and you won't suddenly become cannon fodder.

What Yun Fenghuang wanted was this effect. In fact, Emperor Chunjia said "Be Jieyu and Qucai". Who knows if the emperor is sincere or just saying it?

But since the emperor said so, she must implement it.

Otherwise, there are great enemies like Yuan's aunt and nephew, and they will have to bear the backlash of Ji's betrayal, and the people below will still be unstable... What else is she doing?

After thinking about it for a moment, there were no other important things, so Yun Fenghuang let everyone disperse: "I have to serve tomorrow, and Xi Jing is missing. See how you can make up for the two days' errands... go to rest for a while Come on, lest you lose energy to do things during the day."

Having said that, Xi Le and Nian Xuan still made a temporary mattress for her in the wing room, waited for her to settle, and then went to... share the benefits.

When tidying up Ji Muzi's yard just now, Yun Fenghuang said that among the things Ji Muzi left behind, except for the part she named, the others will be divided among the people below.

At that time, Xijing also had a share, and there were quite a few, but now that everyone is dead, her share is of course no longer counted.

Yun Fenghuang didn't mention it, but Chen Zhu and Xi Le called Nian Xuan Liuhong tacitly, and the four of them went to Xijing's house to find it, and made another small fortune.

Holding real gold and silver in their hands, even if they knew that Yuan's aunt and nephew at Qishan would be difficult to deal with, and whether Yun Fenghuang would be able to carry their long-term wealth with them was unknown, but everyone was certain in their hearts.

But Yun Fenghuang was happy to see it come true, the next morning Nian Xuan came over to take care of her dressing, and whispered about it, she just smiled: "Just take it, what's the big deal?"

She was not used to sleeping in the wing room, and she had other things on her mind, so she got up early, and it was not yet dawn.

It didn't take long, when I heard some movement in the main room, I asked Liu Hong to go out to have a look, Liu Hong went and came back after a while to report, saying that the emperor also got up: "It seems that someone is coming up ahead, there is important news to report His Majesty."

"Hurry up!" Yun Fenghuang listened, his eyes flashed, and he urged Nianxuan, "Don't use these hairpins, just pick them up casually, I will go and have a look!"
