Chapter 131 The Irritated Villain’s Beloved (25)

Flowers in the imperial garden cannot be picked at will.

When Liu Ruer is favored, they can move the flowers away.

Today is different from the past. The imperial concubine was not favored, and the flowers in the palace were smashed and useless. The eunuch had no choice but to try his luck in the imperial garden.

"If we can't find the flowers that the imperial concubine wants, we slaves will have to be scolded. It's okay to be scolded. A few days ago, the imperial concubine was angry and killed two palace maids. Now their bodies are still lying in the side hall.

.”

As the eunuch spoke, he knelt down in front of Xiao Meiren, crying and saying, "My Majesty, please save this servant, but don't tell the imperial concubine. I am asking you for this. Everyone in the palace says that you are a good person, my Majesty."

, I never treat my servants harshly, but it’s a pity that I’m not lucky enough to be able to serve my queen.”

No matter which empress she is, it is better than being a servant in the imperial concubine's palace.

There are very few palace people who can come out intact. Even the dowry of the noble concubine is dead, let alone those who have nothing to do with her.

It ranges from beatings and scolding, to the death of someone in the worst case.

When his life was gone, there was nothing left. The eunuch kowtowed three times and begged Xiao Mei to keep his secret.

"Get up quickly, just pretend that you haven't met me recently, finish your work and go back quickly, don't let others see you."

The eunuch thanked him, and several people behind him kowtowed together. Xiao Meiren waved her hand, telling them to move faster, and turned around to block them.

"Empress."

"Hush," Xiao Meiren looked around cautiously, "When they leave, go and say something to Concubine Shu."

The palace maid agreed, and while the patrolling guards were passing by, she ducked out of the imperial garden.

The eunuchs didn't notice that there was one less person around Mei Xiao. They picked enough flower petals and thanked Mei Xiao. They only agreed to leave after getting Mei Xiao's approval.

Being an errand in Liu Ru'er's palace is really not an easy task. Look at all of them, they are all sallow and thin, with not much flesh on their body.

At night, the side door of Concubine Shu's bedroom opened, and a dark shadow flashed in, taking small steps to come to Concubine Shu's bed.

"Sister Shu Fei, have you gone to bed?"

The curtain was lifted, and Concubine Shu made a gesture to Xiao Meiren, summoning the wet nurse to look after the prince, and pulled Xiao Meiren out of the palace.

"Sister, are you here at this time because of what happened during the day?"

Xiao Meiren nodded and took a few petals from her arms, "I have smelled the ointment that Bai Qingzhi sent a few days ago, and it smells very similar to these petals. Except for those who were called to bed, the other four people can

Are you going to be called for questioning?"

The ointment came from the Zhenguo Palace, and the five of them were sent to the palace by the Liu family. They signed a confidentiality agreement before entering the palace. Liu Shengting had information about each of them.

All it takes is Concubine Liu Shu's oral instructions to ask them to identify it.

Concubine Liu Shu didn't understand spices, but she had been in contact with Wei Jiayu for so long that she couldn't remember the taste clearly.

The palace maid quietly walked out of the side door, and after lighting a stick of incense, several figures appeared in Concubine Liu Shu's palace.

The petals were passed among four people in turn, and one person took out the ointment for comparison.

"Madam, this flower is a rare flower from the Western Regions. There are only a few of them in the imperial garden, and the rest are in the imperial concubine's palace. The Duke of Zhen Guo has traveled far and wide, so maybe the Duke of Zhen Guo also has this flower in his palace."

Concubine Liu Shu immediately asked, "Does it taste the same?"

"yes."

To answer in the affirmative, Concubine Liu Shu ordered people to dig up the flowers in her palace overnight, leaving one in the imperial garden.

Xiao Meiren was afraid that she would not be able to raise curious flowers, so she suggested to Concubine Liu Shu that one should be given to Bai Qingzhi and the remaining two should be kept in her palace.

Since it was kept in a corner, the servants in the imperial garden may not know this flower. If His Majesty asks about it someday, Xiao Meiren will give Liu Shufei the reason to prepare it for His Majesty's inquiry.

The guard sent the flowers and a letter to the Zhenguo Government House overnight.

Bai Qingzhi was confused.

Looking at the flowers in front of her, Bai Qingzhi looked at Feishuang and then at Liuying.

"Miss, since it was sent by Concubine Shu, it must be of some use. Why don't you read what is written in the letter first and then make a decision?" Liu Ying suggested.

The letter was opened and smelled of ointment. Bai Qingzhi put her nose to the paper and smelled it, and it seemed to be different from the ointment.

Comparing it with the newly made balm, the scent of the eight-image balm is very close to that of the petals.

[Host, would you like to take out the formula Wei Changyuan gave you and take a look]

Masters of incense making cannot achieve complete similarity. Apart from process problems, lack of materials is the key.

Feishuang brought some candlesticks so that Bai Qingzhi could see them more clearly.

The shape, aroma, and reaction when exposed to water are exactly as described in the recipe.

The flowers were moved to the yard by Liuying. Bai Qingzhi took a few petals and asked Feishuang to take them to the general's mansion.

At that time, Wei Changyuan had not yet fallen asleep.

The night guard outside the door yawned and looked at the girl who appeared out of thin air. He pinched his thigh hard to wake himself up from his dream.

Apart from a few women in the kitchen, where are the young and beautiful girls in the General's Mansion?

The guard suspected that he had fallen asleep.

"Hey you..."

He didn't stop him and followed him into the general's bedroom. Only then did the guard wake up completely.

"Feishuang? But your lady has something urgent?"

Since the platoon deputy general followed Bai Qingzhi last time, Bai Qingzhi has not gone out since then. Even Liu Shengting's concubine invited her, but Bai Qingzhi still refused.

Wei Changyuan knew that Feishuang was very skilled, but he didn't expect that one of his men couldn't even compare to a girl.

What a waste.

The sharp eyes made the guard tremble with fear.

After driving the person outside, Feishuang took out a purse and a strange scent penetrated Wei Changyuan's nose.

"What does it smell like?"

Is it possible that Bai Qingzhi asked someone to bring him ointment in the middle of the night? Didn't she get a jar last time?

Facing Wei Changyuan's questioning, Feishuang took out a purse with a few flower petals in his expectant eyes.

The fragrance emanated from the petals. Wei Changyuan frowned and pinched his nose to smell it.

His mother loved spices since he was a child, and Wei Changyuan was extremely sensitive to fragrances.

The stronger the fragrance, the more Wei Changyuan rejected it, so his mother concocted a strange fragrance that could emit fragrance for a long time, but was not pungent and easy for people to accept.

My sister uses this balm, and the smell of the petals in front of me is exactly the same as in Wei Changyuan's memory.

"Where did this flower come from?" If he remembered correctly, Bai Qingzhi mentioned to him that there was a lack of material and the Kite Kingdom did not plant any exotic flowers from the Western Regions.

Wei Changyuan felt that he was sure of victory if he could make a seventy-eight-point resemblance. Now that the scarce materials were right in front of him, why did Bai Qingzhi ask someone to bring them to him? Wouldn't it be better to make it directly into a balm?

Feishuang told the story of the future, and then repeated the lady's words.

"The lady said that Liu Ru'er may know the origin of this flower, but she doesn't know how Wei Jiayu uses this flower. She asked the palace servants to pick it and take a bath for tomorrow's banquet. The lady said, let the general prepare, Liu Ru'er may

It won’t make the general feel better.”

Wei Changyuan was an official of the imperial court and preceded Bai Qingzhi in the order of giving gifts.

As the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, Bai Qingzhi will be ranked after other officials and before other wealthy sons.

Pictures of ladies can be a trigger, and Wei Changyuan's gift must first anger Liu Ruer, otherwise Liu Ruer will vent all his anger on Bai Qingzhi.

Because the emperor came to the throne and all the brothers were eliminated, there was no prince in the Yuan Kingdom. The only one who was closer to the royal family was the Duke of Zhenguo, and the second in line was the General's Mansion. Wei Changyuan was a courtier, and he followed the etiquette of courtiers, and Bai Qingzhi because she was a courtier.

The daughter of the Duke of Zhen must be placed in front of the children of other officials.
