As the palace maid spoke, she handed a box in her hand to Pan Ruochu.
"What is this?" Pan Ruo asked curiously as she opened the box and saw a small purple bag with the pattern of plum blossoms embroidered on it.
"A spice bag on my waist. I can only use about three taels of silver." The palace maid explained.
After hearing that, Pan Ruoxi threw the box back to the palace maid. "Fragrant? On his waist? "That won't do, this is something a woman gave to her beloved man. I don't have any opinion towards that child, Duke Ming An. I've taken esteemed wangfei's good intentions, take it back and I'll think of another way. Worse comes to worst, I'll just leave empty-handed."
"Princess, please don't misunderstand. Please take a closer look." The palace maid seemed to know that Pan Ruo would reject the incense, and said, "On top of the incense, there is Qing Nan's unique embroidery and cloth. On the front is Qing Nan's auspicious plum blossom, and on the back is Qing Nan's auspicious looking unicorn. In fact, it represents the lucky items of Qing Nan and your father. When you send it out, say that it is a custom of Qing Nan. Moreover, the Empress has prepared two for you at one time. One for Duke Ming An, and the other for County Lord Rong and He.
"Eh, that's not bad. The Empress is worthy of being the Consort. She thinks over everything so carefully."
"Alright, then I'll give you this perfume bag. It'll save you all the trouble of worrying about it." Pan Ruoxi took the scented bag and accepted it with satisfaction. "Thank you for me, esteemed mistress."
"The Empress has also prepared four sets of Cloudbrocade sewn upon your body. Please examine them and choose a set for tomorrow's banquet. The Empress has said that although Princess Yiyun is not the emperor's biological daughter, her food and clothing cannot be inferior to the other princesses."
A few palace maids entered in a line, each holding a box of jewelry of different colors: red, purple, blue and green.
"Empress Dowager Xian is too kind." Pan Ruocheng couldn't help but sigh at the virtuous concubine's consideration. Ever since she was bestowed the title of a princess, the emperor had asked her to look out for him. Everything she did made her feel impeccable.
She, who was unfamiliar with this place, gradually gained trust and trust in Xu Xianfei. Other than the time when Xu Xianfei gave her a way to capture the Ninth Prince, she bluntly refused. She was very obedient to Xu Xianfei.
Winter Palace.
The palace maid who had delivered Pan Ruoxi's perfume bag came back to report to Xu Xianfei that Princess Yiyun had accepted the gift and expressed her gratitude to the Empress.
"Understood, you can leave." Xu Xianfei waved her hand and said.
Not long later, a man came out from behind the screen and asked, "Empress, are you planning on borrowing Princess Yi Yun's hand to kill Duke Ming An?"
Xu Xianfei clenched her fingers on the back of the chair and said, "We can't wait any longer. Recently, I've been having nightmares, dreaming that he ascended to the throne and killed all of our mothers, Ye'er, Ye'er, and me. His bloody head was hanging on the wall.
"Regardless of whether I am willing to admit it or not, the [Consecutive Technique] is approaching the emperor step by step. I wonder what plans he has in mind. These plans are all aimed at me and Ye'er. If we do not hurry and expose him, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"But, the eighth prince is not in the palace, do we not need to discuss this with him? "He doesn't approve of the Empress taking the risk." The man was still a little hesitant as he replied.
"Although Ye'er is a shrewd person, he lacks the ruthlessness of those who hold power. As his mufei, I will have to step in and clear the way for him. There's no need to discuss this with him. " Xu Xianfei said.
"I hope that the eighth prince will be able to understand the Empress's painstaking efforts."
"He will understand. After all, he is my son. Everything I do is for his future." Xu Xianfei's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.
Lian Shiya was driven out of the Prime Minister's Estate and she heaved a sigh of relief on the carriage back to her residence. Her face revealed a smile — —
"This time, I've managed to cheat Lian Rue once. Let her think that I'm narrow-minded enough to find a Warlock to curse my incantation."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle from her sleeve. It contained the blood of the [Consecutive Formula], and it was merely a pretense to confuse Lian Yue's sight.
Moreover, before she went to the Prime Minister's Palace, the 4th Prince had already arranged for Daoist Liu to go to Wen Hua Yuan and wait for her to bury the puppet. All the evidence pointed to her return to the Residence of Prime Minister for the sake of cursing the technique.
She gripped the bottle tightly and returned to the palace.
The moment he got out of the carriage, he directly went to Feng Qianyue's study room and gave him the bottle. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said, "I got it back, blood from the Consecutive Technique!"
"We've even gotten the Phantom Blood." Feng Qianyue took out another bottle.
"Your Highness, my father is a very cautious person, he won't let anyone easily approach him, how did you get his blood?" Lian Shiya asked curiously.
"Your father was a cautious man, so he took extra care of his life. This morning, when he was about to go to court, I had Imperial Physician Du pretend to have met him. He said that his complexion was not good, and that he seemed to be overworked, so he became extremely nervous and asked Imperial Physician Du to take his pulse and bleed him … Thus, we were able to easily obtain his blood. " Feng Qianyue said.
"Then let's hurry up and take a look!" Lian Shiya was slightly impatient.
"Are you sure that what you're taking is the Lian Fu's blood?" Feng Qianyue confirmed once again.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I can guarantee that this bottle has never left my side." Lian Shiya replied with certainty.
He first poured Lian Yan Qing's blood into the water, and then, with trembling hands, Lian Shiya opened the bottle and poured in the blood as well. Then, with both hands tightly grasping the edge of the table, he looked into the bowl without blinking an eye, and his heart was pounding in nervousness.
Feng Qianyue's expression was calm as his gaze descended upon the two drops of blood.
After waiting for a while — —
"Hahaha, hahahaha …" Lian Shiya suddenly burst out into wild laughter. "Linyue, Linked Formula, you guys are finished. You two siblings, you guys, you guys, are completely finished. Hahahaha …." "Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ….
Feng Qianyue looked at the two drops of blood in the bowl that couldn't be fused with each other, and his heart suddenly trembled. Then, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile — —
"The Consecutive Techniques are indeed not Lian Yanqing's biological skills."
"He's not! He's a bastard! Duke Ming An? Hehe, Your Highness, even though this Lian Lian Fang is not the descendants of the Lian family, he was still given the title of duke because of his surname. Lian Shiya's face had a nearly twisted smile as she asked in a trembling voice.
"Lian Family is not an ordinary family, Lian Yan Qing is the Prime Minister, and Madame Lian is the first-in-command of the First-grade, bestowed upon me by my royal father. If it weren't for the fact that she is just flesh and blood, she wouldn't even be anything at all.
