Xiao Dengzi didn't answer her words, he just lit the stove neatly, and then poured water into the pot. After the pot boiled, he took out a bag of things from his arms and poured it into the pot. The water in the pot suddenly became
It turned red. However, Cai Die soon discovered that it was not the water that turned red, but that there were many red things in the water, which made the water look like it was dyed red.
After careful identification, Cai Die hesitated and said: "Eunuch Deng, this seems to be a red flower?"
Little Dengzi glanced sideways at her while stirring the pot, "Do you recognize it?" Without waiting for Cai Die to answer, he mouthed again: "Throw down the fine gauze?
Cai Die became more and more confused, but it was obvious that Xiao Dengzi was not ready to answer, so she had no choice but to throw down the gauze and let Xiao Dengzi block it with the red flowers.
After cooking for half an hour, Xiao Dengzi took out the gauze and took it to the window to dry in the shade. After finishing all this, he handed it back to Caidi, "Go, think of a way to replace it with this one."
The gauze used to filter herbs in the imperial kitchen."
Cai Die was startled, and quickly shook her head and said: "But this gauze has been boiled with safflower. It can be said that every yarn on it is safflower. Now Qiangui is pregnant, if she uses it...
…”
"Does she have anything to do with you?" Xiao Dengzi interrupted her coldly, and then added: "Caidie, don't forget who your master is?"
Cai Die suddenly came back to her senses, and finally understood why Wen Ruqing had come to see Yue Xin, but still lied to the Royal Pharmacy about why she needed red flowers for treatment before Yue Xin arrived. Everything was for these gauze.
For the sake of the dragon fetus in the belly of the noble man.
After coming here for so long, I finally found out what Mr. Wen Gui was doing. He was really ruthless. Most people probably wouldn't have thought that there would be a problem with the gauze used to filter the medicine.
Caidi was excited and scared at the same time. What was exciting was that she finally knew how Guiren Wen planned to harm Guiren Qian. What was scary was that Guiren Wen was so vicious. If she found out that she was a spy, she would not get any good results, and even even
His life may be lost.
Seeing Cai Die standing there silently, Xiao Dengzi said impatiently: "What are you doing here? Go quickly and find a way to change the gauze. If you miss the master's business, I won't intercede for you."
Hearing his words, Cai Die woke up with a start, pretending to be scared and said: "But by doing this, aren't we harming noble Qian? This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"No, you can go talk to the master. What's the use of talking to me, but I can remind you that in the palace, no one is clean, and there is no such thing as right or wrong. There are only positions. We are the slaves of noble Wen.
We must help Wen Gui
People do things. If you can't even understand this, I can only say that you are too stupid." Xiao Dengzi criticized Cai Die mercilessly, and finally took the gauze and wanted to go out. Cai Die hurriedly stopped him and said: "Eunuch, father-in-law.
The lesson is, I understand.”
"It's best if you really understand." Xiao Dengzi gave her a meaningful look, stuffed the gauze into her hand and said: "Do it well, the master will not treat you badly if you do a good job. Remember, as long as you are still here
Palace, please put away your unnecessary sympathy, otherwise you will be harmed sooner or later."
Caidi Weiwei responded, and then left the room and walked to the imperial kitchen under the watchful eyes of Xiao Dengzi. When she got there, she made an excuse to distract the eunuch on duty, and replaced the original gauze with boiled safflower.
It's easy to find, but that's because the gauze is an inconsequential thing, and it's not like other things that people keep looking at.
As soon as she walked out of the imperial dining room, Cai Die's heart started to beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. This was the first time she had done such a thing, and she was really nervous.
Halfway there, Cai Die suddenly remembered the message. After working as an internal agent for so long, it was only today that she finally got something useful. Unfortunately, she didn't have paper and pen at hand, so she couldn't deliver the message, so she had to find another opportunity.
It took two full days for Caiyan to find a chance to go out alone. She pressed the note under the flower pot, and then Xiao Zhengzi took it away and presented it to Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo didn't expect Wen Ruqing to think of tampering with the gauze. Although the amount of safflower mixed in the anti-fetal medicine was very small, continued use would definitely have a negative impact on the fetus.
After reading the contents on the paper, Sanfu said: "Guiren Wen asked the people around Concubine Hui to get the gauze. He is obviously ready to frame her and frame her. We just have to wait and see when she will take action."
Ling Ruo nodded solemnly, "Now we know the answer to the red flower matter, but the whereabouts of the stew pot is still a mystery."
Yang Hai said from the side: "Is it possible that there is nothing wrong with the stew pot at all, and everything is just a coincidence?"
"No, neither Wen Ruqing nor the Queen is aimless. They have their own reasons for everything they do, especially under the current circumstances."
Yang Hai thought about it, and then said: "Then what should we do now, go and expose Mr. Wen in front of the emperor?"
"No, since we want to catch Wen Ruqing, we can't act so rashly. And if we do it now, Wen Ruqing can definitely blame her. The testimony of Cai Die alone is not enough to convict her. , she can even find someone to take the blame like she did last time." At this point, Ling Ruo stood up holding the table and said word by word: "Either you don't do it, or you must do it absolutely. , we can’t let her have a chance to breathe again like last time.”
"Master's so-called absolute..." Sanfu hesitated and did not continue, but it was enough. Ling Ruo slowly walked outside the hall.
Autumn is here. Along with the harvest, it is also the time when thousands of trees wither. Therefore, autumn... is really a very contradictory season. Hope and despair, these two words that should not appear together, are extremely harmonious in this season. .
She walked to one of the cherry blossom trees. Before her hand touched the trunk, a gust of wind brought down a few withered yellow leaves. They circled for a while and then fell on Ling Ruo's shoulders. Looking at the yellow leaves, she felt that she had been following behind her. The people said: "The dragon fetus in Qiangui's belly depends on God's will. If the child dies due to this, I will recite the Rebirth Mantra for him a hundred times in front of the Buddha to atone for the sins I have committed."
Sanfu stood back silently. He had been with Nala for many years, and he had seen Nala use all kinds of strategies to harm people and take away people's children, but he had never seen Nala make any atonement. Instead, she felt that it was all owed to her by others.
Concubine Xi is different. She will feel guilty for harming others, and she will feel sad for standing by and watching Wen Ruqing plot to harm the dragon fetus. This is also the biggest difference between her and Nala. Sanfu believes that deep down in Concubine Xi's heart, The kindness of the past must still remain.
Such a person is worth following, but on the other hand, she will definitely have a difficult time in the harem, because in the palace, the last thing she needs is sympathy and kindness.
