Chapter 103 Plum Blossom Brand (Part 9) (1/2)

Haoxiang has already bought a house with three entrances in a good area in Beijing. He has no intention of marrying a wife and lives with Pianpian. Three entrances is enough. The useless houses in the yard were demolished and replaced with gardens, rockeries, fish ponds, etc., which imitated the scenery of Jiangnan and was very beautiful. But except Haoxiang, no one was happy.

Her son had lost his heir, and Pianpian cried so much that she almost fainted. She tried to find Xueru several times, but was stopped by Haoxiang's gaze. Although Haoxiang didn't want to make E Niang so sad, he also didn't want to be forced to marry a wife and take concubines in the future. No matter what, his soul was still a woman. Although he had worn a man's body several times, he still had this deep-rooted preference and character. It's not that easy to change, at least he can't convince himself to get married and have children now.

Originally, every time Pianpian asked him to take in a married woman, he had to find a way to evade it. This time he learned that Xueru had given him this kind of medicine. He had an idea and let everyone know that he was in trouble. Once the problem is solved, you can refuse to get married and live a happy life. But these things cannot be mentioned to Pianpian. Haoxiang stood at the door of Pianpian and sighed, and ordered the maids and mothers to serve her carefully, then turned and went back to the room. It is useless to say anything now. In the future, he will honor his mother well. After adopting two children, Cheng Huan's mother will surely get better gradually.

Life in the new house is very comfortable, and the servants are all carefully selected by Haoxiang from Ren Yazi, and they are loyal to their duties. Haoxiang had to work in the palace during the day, and many things that needed to be done in the new house had to be decided by Pianpian. As she was busy with things, Pianpian gradually became less heavy. Seeing Haoxiang acting like nothing was wrong, she also felt Life is not so hopeless.

Prince He once found an imperial physician whom he knew well to treat Haoxiang, but the imperial physician said that sterilization drugs had always been overbearing and there was no way around it. Prince He had no choice but to feel sorry for himself, and handed the medicine to the leader of Niangan Department, ordering all members to be familiar with the medicine and to be extremely careful when doing it outside.

In the Hall of Yangxin, Qianlong was reviewing the memorial. When he heard Wu Shulai whispering about the separation of Haoxiang's family, he paused, frowned and asked, "So, the person who poisoned was Shuo Wang Fujin?"

Wu Shulai lowered his head and said: "Back to the emperor, Shuo Wang Fujin's nanny insisted that she was responsible for it alone. There is no conclusive evidence to prove that Shuo Wang Fujin was involved. However, I heard that Fucha Haoxiang asked Master Fu Heng to allow him to share it. When he came home, he proposed not to take possession of the property of Prince Shuo, and Prince Shuo immediately agreed in tears. "

Qianlong pondered for a while and said: "Looking at it this way, King Shuo Fujin is not an easy person to get along with. Will Lan Xin be wronged if she marries him? How did Haozhen react to this?"

Wu Shu replied: "Back to the emperor, Haozhenbeile just insisted that this matter was not caused by Shuo Wang Fujin, and did not express any other opinions."

Qianlong frowned again, "In the past, I saw that Haozhen was both civil and military. Just from the fact that he couldn't bear to hunt the white fox and let it go back to the mountains, we can tell that he was a very affectionate person. Why is my brother suffering so much now? Didn't you care at all? Yue Li didn't even give his younger son a share of the family property?"

Wu Shulai did not mention Haozhen's matter again, and only said: "Back to the emperor, Prince Shuo was extremely angry about the separation of the family. In front of the clan, he said that he would never have this son again and let him fend for himself. Until Fucha Haoxiang After taking his mother out of the house, Prince Shuo never saw her again. "

Qianlong thought for a while and decided to go to Kunning Palace to discuss with the queen to see what she thought. After all, Lan Xin was his most beloved daughter, and he didn't want to see her marry an inhumane person.

When he arrived at Kunning Palace, Qianlong waved his hand to stop everyone from reporting. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a cry inside. Qianlong paused for a moment, feeling a little bored. The queen always made a fuss every time she dealt with something, and she was a little bit sick. There is no consciousness of being a queen.

In the Kunning Palace, the queen sat high on the throne, and three little maids were kneeling on the ground, being escorted and interrogated by the nuns. Qianlong walked in without the Queen's gift, frowned and asked: "Queen! What are you doing? From far away, you can hear ghosts crying and howling in Kunning Palace. They are just a few maids. If you don't like it, just return to the House of Internal Affairs. Or send it directly to Xin Zheku, what will it be like to be interrogated by you?"

The queen said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, these are not ordinary maids, but the maids of Yanxi Palace!"

Qianlong's eyelids twitched when he heard the queen say, "They praise Haozhenbeile everywhere in the palace, and they always want to get close to Lanxin. They act cautiously. It is obviously premeditated! If Aunt Cui hadn't paid attention, I'm afraid I would have I can’t even find it.”

"Oh? Praise Haozhen? I came here just to discuss Lan Xin's marriage with you. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing." Qianlong stopped getting angry. He looked at the maids and asked, "Who are you?" What's going on? Tell me clearly."

Wu Shulai stepped forward and shouted: "If there is even half a lie in the emperor's question, you should know what will happen! Speak quickly!"

Several palace maids had already tried Nanny Rong's needle dance before, but the wounds were all on their bodies and could not be seen. Now that the emperor had arrived, they suddenly felt despair. They were not afraid of going to Xinzheku. What they fear is that life would be worse than death. Several people whimperingly confessed, and the nuns leaned closer to listen, and it turned out that it was Lamei who was beside Concubine Ling who ordered them to do it.

Qianlong saw the change in the queen's face and spoke first: "Your concubine may have good intentions to let Lan Xin know something about Haozhen's deeds, but the maid of Yanxi Palace is clumsy and tongue-tied. The three of them, together with Na Lamei, each played thirty pieces and were demoted to Xinzheku."

The queen clenched her handkerchief and was about to speak, but Rong Mama tugged at her sleeve. The queen suppressed her anger and asked stiffly, "The emperor just said that he had something to discuss with me. What is it?"

Qianlong glanced at her. He also knew that Concubine Ling was not clean, but could a clean person survive in the harem? It was not easy to meet a concubine who was good at means and gentle and considerate. If she didn't make a big mistake, she would keep her, but forget about the position of imperial concubine. She even wanted to interfere in his Lan Xin's marriage. Was she trying to win over the court officials? She was stretching her hand too far.

The emperor and the empress discussed the separation of the Shuowang Mansion. The empress had deep feelings for Lan Xin, her adopted daughter. She was a little horrified when she thought of the cruel actions of Shuowang Fu Jin. She said to Qianlong anxiously: "Your Majesty, Lan Xin is not a real princess after all. There will be no princess mansion when she gets married in the future. She is such a simple and innocent child. I really don't feel comfortable letting her live with Shuowang Fu Jin." Qianlong pondered for a while and said: "The wedding date has not been set yet. Let's postpone it for now. Let me send someone to investigate the situation of Shuowang Mansion carefully." Although Qianlong did not have a sticking place, he still had secret agents in the palace. After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he directly sent two secret agents to monitor Shuowang Mansion. After drinking a cup of tea, he thought of Concubine Ling and ordered Concubine Ling to return the Phoenix Seal to the empress. Humph, she was promoted too quickly, and her ambitions became bigger and bigger. If she is not suppressed, she may covet the position of empress. Haoxiang worked with Duolong as usual. During their days off, they would meet up with a group of young masters to have fun. Their life was very comfortable. The Sticking Rod Office occasionally had tasks, but most of them were to collect information or evidence, which was not difficult. Even internal training could be easily completed by him. After leaving the Shuo Palace, without the constraints of those idiots, he could do anything easily.

However, he still remembered that he had to clean up the aliens in this time and space, so he made two more puppets, following Yue Li and his wife, Hao Zhen and Bai Yinshuang, paying attention to their situation every night, and then looking for opportunities to add fuel to the fire.

Xueru was under house arrest, but Yue Li had no intention of abolishing her, so the servants did not dare to neglect her. Bai Yinshuang had been pregnant before, so she did not have to serve Xueru. She often talked to Hao Zhen and was sweet. Seeing Xueru under house arrest, he thought she had lost her power, so he wanted to avenge the humiliation he had suffered. She said to Hao Zhen with a worried look on her face: "Now that Nanny Qin is gone, Fu Jin must be very sad. The clan leader has ordered her to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures. I guess her life is not easy. Now she is also my mother. Why don't you let me accompany her so that I can fulfill my filial duty for you?"

Hao Zhen was moved and hugged her, saying: "Oh, my Yinshuang, you are so kind and considerate! Nanny Qin must have instigated my mother to treat you like that. I am so happy that you don't blame my mother. You are the two most important women in my life. I really I hope you can live in harmony. We are all family. "

Bai Yinshuang smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Haozhen, your mother is my mother. I will definitely be filial to her. Don't worry."

Bai Yinshuang began to go to Xueru's room every day to accompany her. Xueru didn't care about a lowly maid at all. Even if the maid was pregnant and was about to become Haozhen's aunt, she didn't care at all. Anyway, Haozhen was not her blood, and she didn't feel excited about being a nanny at all.

Bai Yinshuang hated Xueru's noble appearance. She began to look for opportunities to give Xueru medicine. She learned this trick from Xueru. Look, didn't Haoxiang get out of the house with Xueru's medicine? She used to wander around in the rivers and lakes and met many people. When Xiangqi went out on the street, she contacted people outside and spent almost all her savings to get a pack of medicine that would accelerate aging from the brothel. Not only would the face age, but also the internal organs would age together.

Of course, how could such a magical medicine be available in an ordinary brothel? After Haoxiang learned of her idea, he deliberately had someone sell it to her in a roundabout way. Xueru seemed to care about nothing except her status. She couldn't get her status for the time being, but her appearance was definitely something that every woman would care about, so Haoxiang made this "beauty withers" for her, which was very straightforward, meaning that flowers withered.

Bai Yinshuang put medicine in Xueru's food and tea every day. Xueru thought that she was so attentive to curry favor with her, and was not on guard at all. Within half a month, when Xueru got up early to dress up, she found that she had more than a dozen white hairs, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead became more obvious. In the next few days, she carefully observed and found that she was getting older day by day, which was horrified.

She called a doctor to take her pulse, but the doctor didn't diagnose anything, just told her to rest more and think less. For this, Yue Li scolded her, saying that she didn't stop worshipping Buddha, and she only knew how to calculate all day, which led to excessive thinking and harming herself. Xue Ru had no choice but to take care of it fearfully, drinking tonic soup several times a day, but she gained weight but saw no effect.

Bai Yinshuang was happy, and her face showed it naturally. Xue Ru was very nervous at this time. Seeing her look, she couldn't help but scold her, and even suspected her, "You are so happy in other people's misfortune, is it you who did it? You came to my room to show your courtesy for no reason, you must have ulterior motives!"

Bai Yinshuang glanced at the figure at the door, tears fell all of a sudden, and she cried aggrievedly: "Mother, I just want to be filial to you. Seeing you like this, I am also worried. How could you be happy in other people's misfortune? You really misunderstood me."

Xue Ru slapped her in the face with a "slap" sound, and said angrily: "Who is your mother? You, a lowly singer, are you worthy of calling me mother?"

The people outside the door were Hao Zhen and Yue Li. They looked at Xue Ru's gray hair and twisted face and thought she looked like a devil. Hao Zhen rushed in and shouted to vindicate his Yin Shuang, saying that Yin Shuang was kind, filial, and willing to make compromises, which made Xue Ru angry.

Yue Li saw them arguing and shouted angrily. He ordered Xue Ru to be confined to her house and no one was allowed to visit her. He ordered Hao Zhen to take Bai Yin Shuang away. Xue Ru looked at their backs and felt sad. She had fought for her whole life, but ended up like this. If Bai Yin Shuang hadn't been playing tricks, how could she have become like this?

But Bai Yin Shuang was a lowly singer. What could have done to make her like this? As she thought about it, Xue Ru began to go crazy. She thought of Bai Yinshuang's stunning face, the surname "Bai", Hao Zhen's past of "catching and releasing a white fox", and the child in Bai Yinshuang's belly... She became more and more convinced that Bai Yinshuang was the white fox that Hao Zhen let go!

A new rumor gradually spread in Prince Shuo's mansion, that Miss Bai in Prince Beile's room was the incarnation of a white fox, and that she came to Prince Beile to repay her kindness and give him a child. Some servants even put incense burners in their rooms and prayed to the fox fairy every day in the hope that it would bless them with safety and wealth.

Hao Zhen and Bai Yinshuang laughed it off when they heard this, thinking that the servants were really imaginative. If it was a white fox, how could it have suffered so much before? Hao Zhen pitied Bai Yinshuang and disliked her simple residence, so he took her back to his room to live with her. Xue Ru was confined to her house, and Yue Li didn't pay attention to these things on weekdays, so naturally no one cared.

At night, Hao Zhen began to have intermittent dreams, some good dreams, some nightmares, but they all had one thing in common, they were all related to foxes.
