Chapter 340: One More Shot

Li Hongyuan opened the box, and there were three things inside, probably none of them counted.

A piece of letterhead, almost nine times out of ten, was written by Patriarch Pei, and a piece of yellowed and rough paper, obviously an ancient piece of paper, with a half-slap-sized jade pendant at the bottom, a hollow pattern with dragon and phoenix auspicious, and a jade pendant. The water is full of water, and the value of this jade itself is extraordinary. Generally speaking, jade such as dragon and phoenix Chengxiang has the good meaning of having two surnames. Usually, it will not be given away casually. Li Hongyuan will not be unaware of this meaning. Logically, he would not be interested in this thing, but now he is playing with the jade pendant thoughtfully.

Jingwan put down the scissors and walked up to him, "Is there anything special about this jade pendant?"

"The texture is very special." Li Hongyuan handed the jade pendant to Jingwan.

Jing Wan is inexplicable, the lines are special? Is the living hell the person who will pay attention to these? Looking at the jade pendant over and over, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang are also in various poses and expressions. Whether it is carving or embroidery, they like to be as delicate and beautiful as possible. Jingwan really didn't see anything special about this jade pendant.

Before Jingwan could see a bright hall, Li Hongyuan handed the letter to him, took the jade pendant in Jingwan's hand back, and threw it aside, "The jade pendant itself is nothing special. Princess, take a look at this." To be honest, The content of the letter made him want to laugh a little.

Jingwan took it and quickly scanned it. No matter her expression or eyes, nothing changed. She just picked up the old piece of paper and said, "Bu Lao Dan? At most, it has some effect of delaying aging, so the name is It's not an exaggeration." This recipe, according to the letter, is a little thought from Patriarch Pei, and as for the jade pendant, it is a token of Pei's family, handed down from ancestors, and is very important to Pei's family. Of course, the letter also promised that Li Hongyuan would keep Pei's daughter by his side, not only to have a generous dowry, but also to help him 100%.

Don't look at the omen that the Pei family seems to be overturned now, but it is far from that step. In the past 100 years, the only people who have maintained the Pei family to stand still are those famous scholars. Under the background that love is equal to the relationship between father and son, these disciples of great scholars and famous families are the solid foundation of the Pei family. These people are definitely not a few officials. Just imagine that Jingwan's uncle alone has a lot of influence. , and there are five great Confucian scholars and three famous scholars in the Pei clan. Together, these people are definitely a shocking force. This is also the reason why other aristocratic families dare not act rashly.

Of course, these people should not be the same as Patriarch Pei by nature. At least, Patriarch Pei is polite when facing them, and he has to hide his dirty thoughts. It is also fortunate that these people are basically a bit noble, cherish their feathers very much, and their character is not bad. If they are the same as Patriarch Pei, the Pei family can set off a bloody storm. But on the other hand, if the mind is the same as that of Patriarch Pei, and he goes all out to seek power and profit, how can he be famous all over the world.

"Bu Lao Dan?" Gong Jiu just arrived, and when he heard Jing Wan's words, he, who was born in the dark guard, was slightly moved, so much that he made a rude voice.

"Gong Jiu knows? Show the old lady first, and then talk about this." Jing Wan naturally wouldn't forget her business.

"Yes." Gong Jiu took the pulse of the Pei clan chief's wife, and checked it carefully, "Back to the princess, the old lady's health is not very good, and there are many minor ailments on her body. Obviously, when you are stimulated, you will burst out, and you are too excited just now, plus some negative emotions from your father, you can't stand it for a while, and your lungs show signs of rapid weakness, if you don't get treatment in time, you need to prepare for the funeral." Gong Jiu's voice Said without hesitation.

Jingwan frowned slightly. To be honest, it wasn't the result she wanted to see. Even if it was about to die, the old thing would die first. "Medicine."

"There is a kind of Baoxin Pill under the subordinate, which is the best medicine that can be used at present. After temporarily stabilizing the condition, it can be treated slowly."

"Is there a ready-made medicine?"

"Have."

"Go get it. As for whether to use it or not, it depends on the old lady's own meaning."

"Yes." Gong Jiu retreated and left. The things in his place were not only ordinary medicines, but also a lot of poisons. Normally, no one would handle them.

The clan chief's wife of the Pei clan is naturally not ignorant. Her great-granddaughter behaves like this, and people who have nothing to do with him put their own lives first, what is more than cold-hearted? "Many thanks, wangfei." She originally just wanted to see her grandson, but now that she did, although he didn't recognize him and felt regretful, that's enough. In the future, I don't care about Pei's troubles or her relationship with her. What happens to men who have been married for decades.

"The old lady is very polite, I can't let you have an accident here." This is also half and half of the reason.

Pei Xiuying looked away slightly, and her body trembled slightly. Obviously, she didn't have the face to face her great-grandmother at this time.

Gong Jiu went quickly and would come quickly, a porcelain bottle was placed on the table.

Whether to use or not to use medicine is up to the wife of the patriarch of the Pei clan. At this time, the old lady naturally did not make any mistakes. She asked Gong Jiu the dosage and ate it directly. Although, since marrying into the Pei family, she has never taken medicine from a doctor other than the Pei family.

Turning his attention back to Bulao Pill, "The story of Bulao Pill is true, but as the princess said just now, the medicinal effect is not so miraculous, but it should also belong to the holy product in terms of beauty. In the Chu Dynasty six hundred years ago, there was a A palace concubine, taking Bulao Dan all the year round, she was in her 60s, and when she was dying, she looked less than 40 years old." Gong Jiu said.

"That legendary concubine?" Jingwan asked back.

"Yes. Later, the prescription was lost, and my subordinates once saw the broken prescription from the master. In the previous dynasty, it was said that there was a Bulao pill, but I didn't know whether it was true or not.

It is indeed related to Pei's, so it may not be surprising that Pei holds the prescription of Bulao Dan in his hand. "Speaking of which, Gong Jiu knows these things because of his master. Although he is also an orphan, he is still slightly different from others. Before he was trained as a dark guard, his medical and poisoning skills were already very powerful.

"Then take a look." Jingwan handed the recipe to him.

Gong Jiu respectfully took two steps forward, took it, and looked at it quickly, "Most of the medicinal materials are consistent with what we saw on the remnant recipe."

"This thing, the princess wants?" Li Hongyuan asked slowly. "If you want, let Gong Jiupi come out and try it."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of human beings. Besides, it is a three-point poisonous medicine, a holy product for beauty, and maybe it has side effects in other aspects. What am I going to do?" Fitness, a reasonable diet, and maintaining a good attitude are all The best way to maintain one's health, "If Mrs. Pei really has a prescription and there are no side effects, why don't Mrs. Pei use it?" Jingwan's eyes fell on Mrs. Pei's patriarch.

If Gong Jiu's words were true, and the old lady had used it, she would look at most in her early 40s, but her face was completely in line with her age.

"When the princess said this, the subordinates remembered that the master once studied the remnants of the Bulao Dan, but later he did not develop it any further. It is said that it is a hindrance to the children."

As soon as Gong Jiu said this, the scene instantly froze, including Pei Xiuying's face instantly pale.

After all, this kind of beauty-preserving holy product is only for beauty and has no effect on health. Nine times out of ten, it is used by women. It is dedicated to Prince Jin. It is obvious who he will use. Usually, it is estimated that there is no other. A woman can refuse, provided she does not know the side effects, and Pei Xiuying only has three words in her heart: impossible.

To say that Patriarch Pei does not know the side effects? That is absolutely impossible, and he dared to take it out blatantly, indicating that he would not be aware of it in a short period of time.

Li Hongyuan looked at Pei's people, his eyes seemed to contain ice and poison, his aura was full, full of terrifying anger, "It's really a good plan!"

This simply cuts off Jingwan's path. Even if she is deeply loved by Li Hongyuan, even if she is firmly seated on the throne of the Jin Princess, she has no son. In the future, when Li Hongyuan becomes emperor, she will always be a dwarf. After Li Hongyuan a hundred years later, She still didn't know what would happen. This method is simply more poisonous than directly pulling Jing Wan off the horse.

Patriarch Pei calculated him, and Li Hongyuan still didn't respond, but if it was calculated on Jing Wan, it was a crime that deserved death!

Madam Pei's patriarch had just taken the medicine to relieve some symptoms, and now there are signs of illness again, and her eyes were blackened for a while, and she almost fainted.

Pei Xiuying couldn't hold back any longer, and she knelt down as soon as her legs softened, "My lord, my lord, please believe that there is absolutely no such thing. The old Dan people have eaten it, no..." As if thinking of something, Pei Xiuying's face Pale as paper, without the slightest bit of blood, his lips trembled, "Impossible, impossible..."

The other girls from Pei's family also knelt down one after another, shivering with horror from Li Hongyuan. They probably never thought that a man who was so handsome and radiant, who treated Prince Jin as gentle as water, would be so terrifying when he got angry. , where will blush and heartbeat, I can't wait to stay as far away as possible.

"What's impossible? You said that it was carefully cultivated by him, and it's impossible to just give up?" Li Hongyuan made up for it with a knife.

Jingwan looked at Pei Xiuying again, with a little pity. If what Gong Jiu said was true, and if Pei Xiuying really took the pill, then she was just a chess piece, fighting on the front line, and finally gave Pei Xiuying The other girls of the family make wedding dresses. After all, as long as Li Hongyuan accepts Pei Xiuying, he will accept the second and third daughter of the Pei family. She breaks arms with Jingwan, and the other women of the Pei family are silent after this shield. Loud, if something happened to Jingwan, she could still be pushed out. Another reason for her to eat Bulao Dan is probably to let Jingwan eat it boldly. The old clan chief of the Pei clan, calculated to such an extent, is really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, and he can give up anything.

However, it is not good to be a teacher. I met a person like Gong Jiu who knew the details of the elixir, and even if there was no Gong Jiu, Jing Wan, a person with an extraordinary background, was not interested in medicine and this kind of thing, no matter how carefully calculated, The most foolproof point is also doomed to fail.

Pei Xiuying still refused to believe that her great-grandfather would do this, but she knew very well that he was definitely someone who could do such a thing.

She is righteous for her family and for her own ambitions, but now she suddenly realizes that she is destined to become an abandoned child in the end? She has been proud for more than ten years and considers herself to be the best, most beautiful and most perfect woman. Even if someone compares her to the number one beauty in Jiangnan who was once recognized by her aunt, she does not take him seriously. It's just a dead man, it's already become dirt, what's there to care about. And what she is proud of is just a place to be used by others.

At this moment, Pei Xiuying is also full of hatred, but she has a sense of helplessness. Everything about her is controlled by her great-grandfather. He understands everything about his personality and temperament. What he will guide her to do, she is just like the marionette in his hand. The saddest thing is that she doesn't feel it at all. If it hadn't been stabbed out today, she might have been kept in the dark until she died. Perhaps, he also lied to anyone.

"Gong Jiu, is this immortal pill easy to control?"

"Back to the lord, as long as there is no problem with the prescription, it is not difficult to make medicine." It's just that some of the medicinal materials are of high value, but the master is probably the least short of money.

"Okay, as much as one eats, the heir will become extinct. First, make a hundred people and let them take it back. With the main family of Pei as the central axis, a girl who is ready to marry, and a daughter of Pei who has not had a boy will marry a daughter of the Pei family. One portion, all for this king to eat. In addition,

Pei's famous Confucian scholars managed to smear all their reputations on this king, making their students feel ashamed of them, ashamed to admit that they were their disciples, and made them become street rats. "

"Yes."

There is no doubt that Li Hongyuan's move directly attacked Pei's foundation, and it was hateful and poisonous. As long as the purpose he specified was achieved, the Pei Clan would collapse immediately.

This time, together with the wife of the Patriarch of the Pei clan, they were deeply afraid of Li Hongyuan.

No matter how much you calculate, Patriarch Pei, when you meet someone like him who can do anything without any scruples, you will only be defeated.

"Mu An, see you off."

Eunuch Mu shivered, and hurriedly stood up and promised.

"Old Mrs. Pei, please go back and rest for a while, and take good care of the junior servants. If there is something that should not be spread from the Pei family's house in Chuanzhou Mansion, beware of gangsters attacking at night. Seeing Pei's girl who is like a flower like a jade, you will have bad thoughts, and it will not be good to ruin the reputation of the girls."

This threat, but strangled the lifeblood of these people.

Pei clan chief's wife made a hohohoho in her throat, but she couldn't utter a word, she just looked at Li Hongyuan like that, is this the child of 婠姠? The more I looked at it, the more it looked like it, I just felt that Li Hongyuan's face was getting farther and farther away, and it was too blurry to see clearly. His head sank, and he fainted completely. "grandmother……"
