Xie Jinran followed the shopkeeper to turn a few corners and came to the last pharmacy. Doctor Cai said, "second lady, all the herbs you want are here. Please choose them yourself."
Dr. Cai said, went out and closed the door of the pharmacy.
Xie Jinran held the handkerchief tightly and looked around. His eyes were full of prudence and vigilance, and his heart was also nervous.
"The second young lady is bold and careful. She is a heroine among women." At this time, a woman's voice sounded. Xie Jinran looked up and saw a maid dressed as a mammy coming out from behind the medicine cabinet. At the same time, a lame man was behind her. She couldn't help looking at the lame man more. He was wearing a gray black coarse cloth shirt, his face was rough and bumpy, and there was no good place. She couldn't see his original appearance, but when she stood still, she could see his handsome posture. His eyes were very quiet, alienated and indifferent,
It makes people feel vaguely that this person may have been a beautiful man in the past.
"Where is Yelv's face?" Xie Jinran took back his eyes and asked.
Mammy smiled and said, "the princess is not feeling well. I specially came to meet the second young lady."
Xie Jinran showed suspicious eyes.
"Don't worry, second lady. I'm the mother sent by Empress Dowager Renyi to take care of the princess. What I said can fully express the meaning of the princess." When mammy saw her hesitation, she went to the sidewalk.
"Why did you come to me?"“ Our princess took a fancy to the ruthlessness and intelligence of the second young lady. On the day of the full moon banquet between the little princess and the little princess, the second young lady secretly poured dirty water on Her Highness Xi, which made the Empress Dowager suspect him. We appreciate it very much. Although it didn't succeed, we can see that the second young lady is ambitious
Therefore, I want to cooperate with the second lady. " Said Mammy.
Xie Jinran was stunned. They even saw it. However, she didn't admit it. She only said, "you think too much. At that time, as a considerate person around the empress dowager, I just said the real thoughts in my heart, so as not to mislead the Empress Dowager."
"Second young lady, if people don't talk secretly, they all talk about this step. People have already reached this step. Why should they hide it? It's better to admit it generously." Mammy smiled and said.
"Why do you call me here by all means?" Xie Jinran stopped pestering about the matter that day and asked directly.
"Second lady, what I just said is very clear. Our princess wants to cooperate with second lady." Said Mammy.
"Cooperation? You are from Qidan and I am from Dazhou. How can we cooperate? " Xie Jinran wants to lure the other party's intention“ Although we are from Qidan now, the second young lady is from Dazhou, our princess and her royal highness six also have an eye for marriage. She will soon become the princess of Yingqing. The second young lady and our princess are sister-in-law, and her royal highness six and her royal highness eight have a good relationship. Therefore, our princess and the second young lady
Miss, it's one side, don't you think? " Mammy is good at persuasion“ However, his highness Liu doesn't seem to be happy with this marriage. Anything can change before formal marriage, and I don't want to take this risk. " Xie Jinran said that she and Fengye's marriage was not about anyone else. The reason was that they didn't have to be filial for three years and could be held in advance. As a result, the marriage was over
And——
Draw water with a bamboo basket.
"Maybe we can do something that makes the second lady feel worth taking a risk?" At this time, the man who had been silent spoke and said.
Xie Jinran looked at him and asked, "who are you?"
"Second lady, this is a counselor beside our princess. His face is damaged because of childhood injury, but the princess and the Empress Dowager appreciate him very much." Answered Mammy.
"Oh? Really? " Xie Jinran's eyes fell on the counselor and said, "although his face is thick, but listening to the voice, the counselor is not old. I don't know what ability empress dowager Renyi can appreciate."“ Second lady, do you think you still have the capital to negotiate terms with us? " Feng Qianyue said, showing a trace of coldness in the bottom of his eyes, "aren't you trying to get the Empress Dowager's understanding and even trying to be princess Yuqin again? You Xie family can't compare with other big families in Beijing
At home, your father had the opportunity to be promoted through disaster relief, but he was demoted. Am I right.
"You..." Xie Jinran blushed. She had to admit that what the counselor said was right.
Feng Qianyue's eyes fell on the faint scar on Xie Jinran's forehead and said, "I heard that the second miss was beaten like this on her forehead because her cat scratched the Empress Dowager and angered her old man?"
Xie Jinran trembled and blurted out, "how do you know?"
"Is there another Phoenix?" Feng Qianyue road.
Xie Jinran was stunned and suddenly asked, "do you know something? Do you know anything about phoenix tail and white cat? "
"I don't know a little, I know everything." Feng Qianyue said that he had spent a lot of money to bribe the people in the palace, and paid attention to inquire around, so he knew the past of the Empress Dowager and Princess Liu.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Xie Jinran's cat scratched the empress dowager, he guessed seven or eight points about the reason why Xie Jinran was driven out of the palace.
"What do you know all about?" Xie Jinran asked in a tight voice.
"The Empress Dowager wouldn't be so angry and fussy if she was scratched by a cat. Didn't the second Miss think there were other reasons?" Feng Qianyue saw that Xie Jinran began to be interested in his words. He knew that the fish had taken the bait and could start winding up slowly.
"What's that? Say it! Did Lian Xiangyue do anything from it? " Xie Jinran began to show eagerness, because the phoenix tail and the cat were the reason why she fell from heaven to hell. She couldn't figure it out all the time.
"This is related to a murder many years ago..." Feng Qianyue slowly told the story about Princess Liu. In fact, he vaguely felt that the phoenix tail and the white cat were not accidental. Maybe someone, or even the moon, took advantage of Princess Liu's past.
However, if it was like a month, how could she know such a private thing about the Empress Dowager?
After listening to the story of Empress Dowager and Princess Liu, Xie Jinran trembled slightly, his face turned white, and even a cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You, what you said is true?" She asked in a trembling voice“ If I don't know these things, how can I guess the real reason why you were expelled from the palace, second lady? Besides, we don't come to beg you. We get what we need. I don't need to make up such a story to deceive you.
