Chapter 523 - : Broken cup, don\\\'t understand
Zhi’er checked around in the house again. There were guards here, and she was almost spotted several times.
In the end, she didn’t dare to rush inside, so she gave up and went back the same way.
She returned to the palace and did not return to Fangfei Palace, but entered Taiyue Palace.
At this time, Ruan Jiujiu and Bei Mingxuan had already stopped, Zhi’er found Su Mo, told her what she had seen, and then went back to Fangfei Palace by herself.
Early the next morning, Su Mo told Ruan Jiujiu the matter.
Ruan Jiujiu suddenly looked startled when he heard it.
“It was a little snake that sent the news to Perilla? And that snake entered the post palace?”
Su Mo nodded and said, “That’s what Su Zhi said when she came over. She followed the snake into the post palace, but the post palace now has envoys from the country of Yan, so the guard is tightly guarded. She can’t dive deep in, but can only watch outside. Look, she is now back to Fangfei Palace, and continues to stare at Shisu as a new palace lady.”
Ruan Jiujiu also nodded.
Beiming Xuandao: “Since I went to the post palace, the problem lies with the post palace.”
Ruan Jiujiu said “Yes”: “Are there people we suspect in the post palace?”
“Xiao Fengwu?”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded.
At this moment, the maid came in and said, “Xiao Fengwu, please see me.”
Ruan Jiujiu was startled.
This really means whoever arrives.
“Call him in.”
The maid quit.
Xiao Fengwu stepped forward, but his eyes still did not dare to look forward.
Because he knew that where Ruan Jiujiu was, the man in Xuanyi was also there.
Even now, he couldn’t eliminate his fear of that man.
Xiao Fengwu felt that he was very useless, but he couldn’t overcome it anyway, so he could only try not to let his eyes touch as much as possible, which would also reduce some sense of oppression.
He knelt down and saluted respectfully, and then said: “Your Highness, early this morning, the envoys of Xia Kingdom have also arrived.”
“Xia Guo’s envoy also arrived?” Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Fengwu said: “It’s already here, so don’t worry, the little majesty, I have sent someone to welcome them to Xia Yuan in the post palace.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said, “It’s a good job. I heard that the eldest princess and the sixth prince are from Yan Kingdom. Who are the ones from Xia Kingdom?”
Xiao Fengwu said: “Xia Kingdom is the regent Xia Yanbo, and the regent’s daughter, Princess Jinxiu.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded, and said: “Since it has arrived, you are used to receiving them in previous years, so please treat me well, don’t lose my face in Hua Guo.”
“His Royal Highness, please rest assured, this Fengwu understands that it will definitely not undermine our national prestige.” Xiao Fengwu assured him in a firm tone.
Ruan Jiujiu smiled, seemingly satisfied, and said: “Then you can withdraw.”
Xiao Fengwu sighed in secret. Today is a routine matter. In fact, he doesn’t want to see Ruan Jiujiu if he can.
The longer he stayed here, the more clearly he felt the pressure Bei Mingxuan gave him, even if people didn’t even look at him, he couldn’t stand it.
“Yes, Feng Wu retired.”
Seeing Xiao Fengwu leaving, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly said, “Who knows the details of the envoys of Yanxia and Xia?”
Bei Ming Xuandao: “Many people in China should know that, ask someone to ask.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded, she asked someone to send a letter to Mrs. Mu and asked Mrs. Mu to send someone over.
Madam Mu sent You Qing over.
Youqing is Chief Guard Su, who follows Madam Mu to guard Fengcheng all the year round, and knows a lot about Fengcheng matters.
Ruan Jiujiu asked: “The envoys of the State of Yan this year are the eldest princess and the sixth prince. For the two of them, do you have any information about them?”
You Qing said: “The Sixth Prince clearly knows that he is a prince and a party in the Yan Kingdom. The prince of the Yan Kingdom was born in the Central Palace, and his background and strength are very strong, so there is no other prince in the Yan Kingdom who can compete with him. As the prince and party, Yan Kai is considered to be a more prestigious prince in the country of Yan, but he has no ability to compete with the prince, so he can only be a prince to assist the country in the future.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded.
Youqing continued: “But the eldest princess’s subordinates are not very clear. Although the eldest princess has heard the name, it is the first time she has come to China this year, so Suwei has very little information about her. .”
Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
“Then the eldest princess is equal to the people of China, haven’t you seen it?”
You Qing nodded and said, “No one has seen it in Hua Guo.”
Ruan Jiujiu smiled: “If it’s a trick, this princess would be a good target.”
Youqing nodded and said: “It is true.”
“What about Xia Guo?” Ruan Jiujiu asked again.
Youqing said: “In the words of Xia State, the regent did not come in the past years. In the past years, it was the prince of Xia State, but the regent Xia Yanbo is well known in the world. He is unparalleled in Xia State, and now the emperor of Xia State is Sheng Sheng In 2017, although there were several princes under his knees, but they were not very old, and he did not have the crown prince, he believed in Xia Yanbo very much. This year suddenly changed to Xia Yanbo, and his subordinates felt a little strange.
Ruan Jiujiu heard Youqing say this, and asked, “Since this is the case, this is the first time that Princess Jinxiu came?”
Youqing nodded.
Ruan Jiujiu couldn’t help laughing.
“That’s a coincidence. This year, the two female relatives from Yanxia and Xia are both coming to China for the first time. Aunt Qing, before Zhengyang banquet, are there any female relatives from the surrounding three countries?”
Youqing nodded and said, “Yes, first of all, Queen Lan of Yunlan, and Queen Lan also made friends, so she must come every year.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded.
Youqing said: “In the past ten years or so, the two countries have also visited the female family members. In the past, there was a prince and concubine from the country of Yan, and the country of Xia, and the princess and the princess before. There will be female family members coming next year.”
Ruan Jiujiu smiled and said, “That is to say, there is nothing wrong with the eldest princess of Yan and the little princess of Xia?”
Youqing nodded: “It stands to reason that they have no problem, and if there is a problem, it will not be able to block it at Zhengyang Banquet.”
Ruan Jiujiu listened and nodded quietly.
When the Zhengyang Festival banquet comes, all the envoys must attend the banquet. If they really have problems, then it will be exposed at that time and it is of no use.
But what if they are not afraid?
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiujiu’s heart beat.
Upon seeing this, Youqing said, “His Majesty, should the element guard stare at the post palace?”
Ruan Jiujiu thought for a moment, but shook his head and said, “No, if they really have something to do, staring at them will make them startled. Su Wei doesn’t have to move. After all, they also know Su Wei’s details.”
Youqing nodded, and Ruan Jiujiu said again: “Aunt Qing, you can go back to work. You don’t need to worry about the affairs of the post palace. Just help your mother guard Fengcheng.”
Youqing saluted: “Yes, the subordinate understands, the subordinate resigned.”
Youqing left, and Bei Mingxuan said, “Don’t worry, since Ning Mu’s accident, Ning Chao has sent someone to stare at the post palace.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said: “Zhier saw that Perilla got a ball of paper from the little snake’s mouth last night. She was not sure what it was. Later Perilla also burned it directly. What do you think it would be?”
Bei Mingxuan thought for a while and said, “It’s probably related to that Queen Qu.”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said: “I also thought of her. Perilla has not shown any traces in Fangfei Palace. Apart from the connection with Queen Qu, what she did is definitely because Queen Qu went to find her before. It seems that Caiyue can be made to stare at Queen Qu.”
Ruan Jiujiu asked Su Mo to secretly hand over a message to Caiyue, asking her to focus on Empress Qu’s movements these days.
On the next day, Caiyue found an opportunity to find Su Mo and told Su Mo that Queen Qu went to Fangfei Palace again disguised as a court lady, and was very happy after returning.
Su Mo told Caiyue that Empress Qu must have gotten something from Perilla, and asked Caiyue to find a way to investigate.
Another day later, Caiyue came again, saying that she had discovered a small medicine bottle hidden by Queen Qu.
It’s just that the medicine bottle was protected by the roots, so Caiyue couldn’t steal it.
Su Mo told her to steal without thinking, just stare at Queen Qu.
Caiyue went back again.
On Ruan Jiujiu’s side, she can now be sure that the medicine bottle given to Empress Qu by Perilla must still be some kind of poison, and it must be used on Bei Mingxuan.
Because Queen Qu did so many things, from the beginning, her goal was Bei Mingxuan.
Now that she knows her plot and plan, Ruan Jiujiu feels that Queen Qu is nothing to be afraid of. What she is now wondering is the envoys of Yanxia and Xia.
There is also Wenren Youqin. Since the last time he talked about the Dragon Qiang mechanism, he has never sent a letter again. It seems that he has not cracked the mechanism.
For some reason, Ruan Jiujiu began to feel uneasy again.
Time passed day by day.
On Ning Mu’s side, Xiao Fengyin hadn’t been awake because of Xiao Fengyin’s remaining poison. Ning Mu couldn’t leave, so she could only guard her.
Ruan Jiujiu also told Ning Mu to wait for Xiao Fengyin to get better before allowing him to come back, so there was no progress there.
The Ning Dynasty sent people to stare at the post palace, but the post palace was tightly guarded, plus a strangely outward Xiao Fengwu, so they could only stare at the outside.
The eldest princess of Yan Kingdom has never come out from Yanyuan, so no one has seen her. It is the Jinxiu princess of Xia Kingdom who has come out several times, but she just came out to play and shop in Jingzhong Street. There is nothing unusual.
To Di Yankai and Xia Yanbo, there is nothing unusual, the two of them rarely come out of the post palace, they are all peacefully in the post palace waiting for the Zhengyang banquet to begin.
This day, already the day before the Zhengyang banquet, Lan Ruoyao ran to Ruan Jiujiu and told her annoyedly: “Ajiu, I am really useless, and I can’t solve the so-called solution of the cup.”
Murong came here too, he also looked upset and ashamed.
Ruan Jiujiu said with a faint expression: “If the cup is broken, the Phoenix Lord will be abandoned. The Phoenix Master is the first queen, so I can’t let it go. This sounds strange to you, so I don’t blame you, I don’t understand. “
