It is said that Princess Jian'an suffered from chickenpox, and she gradually got better after a short period of time. The king of Lu was very happy and rewarded the doctor who treated her. There was only one thing that was a little strange, but fortunately no one cared about it. The princess always used makeup lightly, but after the illness, she
Suddenly put on heavy makeup. This is just a woman's petty temperament, just a few words occasionally mentioned in the chat at the back of the Zeng family. After the illness, the princess was also reluctant to go out, and even when she went out, she wore a veil. Because she was about to leave the palace, she was shy.
These were also unusually tight. Moreover, after the princess recovered from her illness, she suddenly bought all kinds of spices. Not only did she receive a lot of them in the warehouse, but she also sent her maids to buy a lot outside. When the king of Lu knew about it, he collected some from various places and sent them away.
On this day, a well-dressed maid outside Prince Lu's Mansion posted a message, saying that Mrs. Liu of Qin family, the wife of a merchant in Beijing, asked to see Princess Jian'an. By chance, she met a young maid, who thought it was funny: "What a cat and a dog."
Do you all want to see the princess?"
The servant woman was neither humble nor overbearing and said: "Please send me my wife's post, otherwise I might miss something important."
An elderly man came out and asked, "Who is he?"
Xiao Menzi pointed at the servant girl with a smile and said: "The proprietress of a lumber shop wants to see the princess, but she doesn't even use a mirror to see if she is worthy."
The old man raised his eyes and glanced at the servant woman, his eyes widened for a moment, he looked up and down for a moment, then he cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment, I will send you the post now." He stepped forward and took it with both hands.
Post, he winked at Xiaomenzi and walked back.
Xiao Menzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly smiled at the servant woman and said, "Sister-in-law, come and sit inside for a while." The servant woman thanked her politely and stood aside respectfully.
The young man knew that the old man was more knowledgeable than him, so he secretly peeped at the servant woman, wishing he could give himself a slap: the material of the clothes on this servant woman was actually rough! And the boots on her feet were also very fine lambskin boots.
. Her appearance and demeanor were all extraordinary. Not long after, the old servant came out and brought back a reply from Princess Jian'an, asking the master of the Liu family's servant wife to meet him the next day. The servant girl bowed to thank her and replied with a sleeve.
Turned around and got on the carriage.
Seeing the carriage go away, Xiao Menzi couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, who is this Mrs. Liu?"
"I don't know." The old man smiled so brightly that his eyebrows widened and he extended a slap in the face and said, "Anyway, Princess takes it very seriously and gave me a reward of five taels of silver!"
Xiao Menzi exclaimed: "Uncle, good luck!" and then asked, "Why didn't you give me -" He raised his chin towards the street.
The old man snorted: "I don't know! Some people's rules say that servants are not allowed to take rewards from outside."
Xiaomenzi suddenly realized: "Oh——" He nodded vigorously several times, but he really didn't understand the reason at all.
Two days later, an ordinary green cloth carriage drove to the front of Prince Lu's Mansion. It was the wife of the Liu family from last time. The boy looked at it carefully and saw the curtain of the carriage was raised, and the servant girl who came the day before yesterday helped out a young man from above.
This woman is so beautiful! Her figure is graceful and slender, and her whole body has a dignified air that makes people intimidated. Not to mention the wealth that covers her head and body.
Princess Jian'an's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, had been waiting for her at the door early in the morning. When she heard that Mrs. Liu was coming, she went up to greet her, saluted with joy on her face, and personally led her to the princess's courtyard. When she got inside, Princess Jian'an was already there.
After preparing refreshments, all the people waiting in the room were sent out. Even Mrs. Zhu just walked Mrs. Liu to the door and bowed and left.
Mrs. Liu went to see the princess alone and spent two full hours there. No one knew what the two of them were talking about. At noon, someone from the kitchen brought a food box. The princess’s mother made a loud noise at the door.
She shouted: "Princess, it's time for lunch." After a while, Mrs. Liu personally came out and took the food box. With a smile, she casually ordered the people outside to eat as well, without coming in to wait on them. She acted like a master. The people in the kitchen were upset.
Suspicious, she didn't dare to ask anything, so she bowed and left. The princess and Mrs. Liu finished their lunch, and Mrs. Liu brought a food box to Mrs. Zhu.
The two of them stayed in the house for more than half an hour. Mrs. Liu came out and said: "The princess is resting in the tent. Don't disturb her." Then she left. **'s mother sent her out of the house. The maids
Unable to avoid suspicion in her heart, she ventured into the house to explore, and found that the princess was indeed asleep and looked peaceful. During this sleep, Princess Jian'an slept until dusk.
When Mrs. Zeng heard about this, she was inevitably suspicious and told her husband Zeng Chu. Zeng Chu sent someone to check on Mrs. Liu, but she said that she left after leaving Prince Lu's Mansion and said she was going back to Beijing. It was obvious that she was doing something special.
She came to see Princess Jian'an. When people at the inn saw her appearance, they were all impressed. Her appearance was rare in the world, and her whole body made it clear that she was a noble person. The proprietress who brought water to their yard said that Mrs. Liu's jewelry
The piece was so gorgeous that she didn't know which one to look at first. She asked the gatekeeper of Prince Lu's Mansion again, and the old gatekeeper said: "This lady is wearing the python satin from the palace. I can't mistake it."
"Zeng Chun took a breath of cold air. Later, the wives of the Zeng family took turns asking Princess Jian'an who Mrs. Liu was, but she just ignored her and got by without saying a word.
After many days of investigation, the Zeng family unexpectedly got a clue. A merchant's wife who lived in the inn happened to meet Mrs. Liu, and she felt envious and went to visit her. The two of them talked about having tea and admiring flowers for half a day.
After talking to the directors for a long time to settle the accounts, they could not find out the identity of Mrs. Liu at all. They only concluded that Mrs. Liu came from a rich and noble family and had a very high status. He also took out the gift that Mrs. Liu gave her casually, but it was two red musk beads.
The skewer has two ends of the phoenix tail. Zeng Cheng knew as soon as he saw the phoenix tail that Mrs. Liu must have a very high status. Ordinary merchants couldn't buy this thing, let alone give it away. There was also the merchant's wife.
The little girl said that she was chatting with the little girl next to Mrs. Liu, and the girl said that their wife was adopted by their in-laws in the Yangsheng Hall, and she had become a monk in her early years.
Zeng Chun wanted to know more and more who this woman was, so he annoyed his sister Ning Taifei and went to find Princess Jian'an to find out. Unexpectedly, Princess Jian'an actually fooled her mother! He only said that Mrs. Liu's poetry was unparalleled, and the two of them
After talking about poetry for most of the day, Zeng Chu could no longer find any clues. He could only scratch his head and scratch his head, and finally asked Mr. Zeng again.
After hearing this, Mr. Zeng thought about it for a long time and said: "The person maintained by the Yangshengtang has been a monk in his early years, and his behavior is dignified and dignified. If you think about it carefully, unless you are from the lineage of Prince Yi Zhong, why would you need to become a monk and hide?"
Zeng Chun said: "If he is a member of Prince Xian Yi Zhong, who is a mortal enemy of the Supreme Emperor, why would he come to look for Jian'an?" The father and son thought about it for a long time, but could not reach a conclusion.
A few days later, many large trucks suddenly arrived outside the mansion to deliver goods. It was said that Mrs. Liu's wife heard that Princess Jian'an was getting married and came here to add to her dowry. The steward in charge of the princess's dowry was surprised when she took the list.
I was so excited that I finally said, "Has the princess met Grandma, the God of Wealth?"
The King of Lu was naturally overjoyed. He personally came to see the list and Huizi's things, and praised: "Sister, you are really attracting wealth."
Naturally, Concubine Ning asked for the list and went to see it. She was also shocked and sighed: "If the Emperor was still in the capital and Jian'an got married, the dowry purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not be more than this." She also felt sorry for Mrs. Liu in her heart.
Suspicious, I went to test Princess Jian'an for half a day, but still couldn't get any confidence.
Princess Jian'an still wore heavy make-up when she was getting married, and she still used a lot of spices. Naturally, the princess's dowry list was sent to the capital early. Jia Zheng was so shocked when he saw it that his eyes almost dropped: King Lu was so rich.
! Overjoyed.
A few days later, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived in Luzhou to confer a marriage between Princess Jian'an and Jia Huan, the nephew of Rongguo Gong Jia She. The entire palace of Prince Lu suddenly rejoiced: Even though she had been away from Beijing for many years, the Empress Dowager would finally be married.
Not to mention the remaining power, the rare thing is the face.
At this moment, someone from the health care hall in Beijing also went to inquire about it, but they gave too little information. They only knew that the woman was about thirty years old, had good looks, and had been a monk. However, she was born too long ago.
, in addition to the turmoil in Beijing in the past few years, many elderly people in the health care hall have either left or died, and some have closed down, which is very difficult.
Someone went to an old health care center in the south of the city to inquire about it. Although he didn't get any information, an old woman in charge said: "I heard something somewhere else in a daze a few days ago. It also said that there was a Liu from a very rich and noble family.
Madam, I donated a lot of money to the Yangsheng Hall, because she was adopted from the Yangsheng Hall. It is also said that she has become a monk." The person hurriedly asked which Yangsheng Hall it was, but when he found it, the Yangsheng Hall was closed.
.
The man didn't give up, and inquired about the people who had been here before, and asked the neighbors. Another good-hearted old woman said, "I have heard of Mrs. Liu before." She whispered, "In the early years, people also came to inquire.
She is said to be the granddaughter of Prince Xian Yichuang!" However, this is just gossip on the street and there is no evidence.
This day is an auspicious day. Princess Jian'an set off from Luzhou to get married in Beijing. The whole city was like celebrating the New Year. King Lu was reluctant to part with it and wanted to marry him in person. However, he was a prince, his grandfather, mother and uncle repeatedly tried to persuade him not to do so.
He left. The king of Lu was very angry. Because of the large dowry, he wanted Zhong Heng to personally lead his troops to escort him. Zhong Heng said: "The general must not leave the prince. It would be better to send some people and let my uncle lead him."
Wang had known for a long time that his uncle Zhong Wei was the tiger general, and he had been trying to persuade others to lead the army for many years. He felt much relieved when he heard that Zhong Wei was allowed to take the lead.
Zhong Wei then temporarily closed the teahouse for a few days, and led several brothers and the elite soldiers selected by Zhong Heng to escort Princess Jian'an and the Shili Hongzhuang. The towns they passed were all in trouble - who had seen so many dowries?
She was indeed the emperor's daughter. Naturally, there were a lot of robbers coveting her on the road, but it happened that Zhong Wei was beaten back by soldiers and horses who didn't know where they came from, without even alerting her.
They walked all the way safely and saw that they would be able to enter Beijing in three or four days. Princess Jian'an's heart was beating wildly and she breathed a sigh of relief. That night they stayed in a village, and the princess had a midnight snack and went to the
She was walking a few steps in the farmyard when she suddenly heard someone yelling: "Who is that?" She quickly raised her head and looked around. The bright moon hung in the sky like a silver plate, illuminating the trees far and near the house clearly, but she couldn't see clearly.
Something happened - there was only a group of figures, and the sound sounded like someone was fighting on the roof.
The two people were beating each other and gradually jumped outside. Although Princess Jian'an was curious, she did not dare to chase her out to see, so she hurriedly slipped back into the house. After waiting for a long time, she heard the sound of Western fire and guns. It passed again.
At the meeting, Zhong Wei came forward and reported: "There was a thief who was spying on the princess, so my brother beat him away. It's a pity that he was never caught."
The princess smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid he has seen my face."
Zhong Wei smiled and said: "No problem. It's too late for them to do anything they want to do now."
It turns out that what the traveler put into Princess Jian'an's tea cup that night was a kind of poison, which was extremely slow-acting. After the poisoning, the symptoms were almost like chickenpox.
Blisters will appear all over the body. However, most people with chickenpox will have headaches and vomiting, but those who are poisoned will not. The things he adds to the incense burner will cause headaches and vomiting. These two things added together make a complete
"Chickenpox" disease. If you rely on chickenpox to treat it, it will obviously delay the time. This is not to protect others, but to protect Ning Taifei. The blisters of those who have been infected with this poison will appear first.
On the face, scars will be left after scabbing. Later on, the stench will linger on the body. If it is not treated early according to the prescription, it can take as little as half a month and as many as two months, and it will be fatal. When the time comes to investigate, it will be natural.
The quackery has passed.
The Empress Dowager's spies heard that Princess Jian'an was wearing heavy makeup, so they thought it was to cover scars and add spices to cover up the stench, so they waited peacefully for her to die. Not wanting to wait for many days, she not only set off for Beijing, she even almost reached the capital.
He's not dead yet! The death date should have passed a long time ago, right? Therefore, even though he knew that King Lu sent a master to escort him, he still had to find out. Coincidentally, Princess Jian'an had taken off her makeup early because it was getting late. Coincidentally, tonight
It's a big moon, and you can see it clearly - the skin is like cream, the white jade is flawless, and there are no scars on the face at all! I think the spy was so disappointed.
On the other side, the Yangsheng Hall finally found out the truth. Mrs. Liu is the adopted daughter of Qin Ye, the first repairman. Someone once went to the Yangsheng Hall to investigate her origins and suspected that she was the orphan of Prince Xianyi Zhong. She was married to Ning Guo.
She was the legitimate grandson of the family, and she was sent out to become a nun because of her fate. She broke up with her father-in-law and became a nun. Later, she returned to secular life and married a rich man named Liu. Unfortunately, she did not return to secular life at the place where she became a monk, but moved to Zhenwu Temple in the south of the city.
After practicing Buddhism for a while, he returned to secular life. The hostess of Zhenwuan, Master Jingyuan, was Princess Jinyang, the daughter of Prince Xianyi Zhong.
Then check her husband Liu Xianglian, he is just an ordinary son of aristocratic family. He lived in ruins for a while in his early years. Later he worked as a bodyguard for the Taiping Bodyguard Bureau for several years. After making some money, he opened his own Liu's Timber Shop. This person
His identity is clear and there is no doubt about it.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents also followed the cart coming out of the Faxiang Temple in the Liguo Mansion to a large antique shop called Yinfengju. The owner of this shop also suddenly appeared in the past three or four years, and he has a lot of good stuff.
There are so many goods, I don’t know where he got them from, and he is also very rich. Shi Li looked at the files of Yinfengju and couldn’t help but said: "How rich! I can’t help but want to take advantage of others."
The Rongguo Mansion had already prepared a yard for Jia Huan. Because the princess was of high status and could not be placed at will, Jia Zheng took the decision and cleared out Jia Mu's yard for them. Jia Huan had no idea that his new daughter-in-law was so easy to expose.
Poisoned to death, happily waiting to be the groom's official.(..)
