Chapter 86 The Death of Peony
The red curtains of the champagne were in the room of a woman in the Prince's Mansion. The red curtains fluttered in the wind and the decoration was unique.
This is not elsewhere, it is the residence of Xin Ji Xuan Wuran, whom Lan Nian'an married.
After being loved by Hefei, the yard was also renovated quite gorgeously and quite nicely, but it was a little neglected.
Xuan Wuran had been sleeping with the concubine for a night of nourishing porridge last night in order to please her concubine. She woke up and felt hungry when she woke up. So she took the little maid to the dining room for meals, but when she passed the path at the entrance of the study, she was stopped by the butler with a selfless face.
"The prince has ordered that all those who pass the paths should take a detour. Do not disturb the environment around the study."
Xuan Wuran frowned and looked ugly.
Although she had been in charge of her with the concubine after she married into the Prince's Mansion, Lan Nian'an's attitude towards her was lukewarm. This was not counting. The most outrageous thing was that she and him stayed in An Nuanzhi's yard on the wedding night. No matter how she said that she was the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was a hero who helped the Prince's Mansion to make contributions. She was full of anger. Now that the butler was so excited, Xuan Wuran's heart burst out.
She winked at the maid beside her. The maid was overestimating her ability. She was about to act like a spoil but was dragged down by two guards at once, with no room for performance, which made Xuan Wuran feel depressed.
Although the housekeeper is a servant, she coordinates all the affairs of all major and small things of the Prince's Mansion. She is also a confidant who Lan Nian'an relies on. She is not a role that Xuan Wuran can shake, so she can only knock her teeth and fall into her stomach.
"Dance Girl, do you still ask the young one to repeat it again? Please choose the way, this trail is not allowed." The housekeeper is very loyal to Lan Nian'an. He dare not be careless about what Lan Nian'an told him, and he is loyal to his duties. His attitude is very tough.
"You!" Xuan Wuran was unwilling to accept it, but she knew very well that if she wanted the butler to have a good face to her, unless she was favored by Lan Nian'an, everything would be fine.
Following the same route, he returned to his yard. The more Xuan Wuran thought about it, the more angry he became.
On the one hand, she was dissatisfied with the butler, and on the other hand, her distorted ambition was once again inflated. If she had restrained her before, she could not wait to stand at the top of the power of the Prince's Mansion.
"Empress Dancing, I brought breakfast from the dining room. You haven't eaten yet, eat quickly!" At this time, a sensible little maid dressed in bright and beautiful walked in, and her appearance made Xuan Wuran feel warm.
It is said that what people desire most is not icing on the cake, but helping you in time. This sentence is just right here!
The little maid's kind and understanding behavior unintentionally made Xuan Wuran pay special attention to her. After she finished her breakfast, she deliberately left her to question her.
"What's your name?" Xuan Wuran asked with a smile.
The little maid answered very well, "My name is Minghan. Mingmei Ming, Hanyue Han."
Xuan Wuran nodded and smiled, "This name sounds youthful and nice. By the way, since your name is Minghan, what does it have to do with Mingxi in the Crown Princess's yard?"
The little maid bowed her head and returned, "Go back to the dancer, Mingxi is the sister of a servant."
"Are you twins?" Danny was slightly surprised. She hurriedly ordered the little maid to raise her head. Sure enough, her eyebrows and eyes were pure and simple, exactly the same as Mingxi. If you don't look closely, you will really not be able to tell at all.
Xuan Wuran stared at Minghan's face, and she didn't know where she was thinking, and her expression became very complicated. Whenever she was planning a conspiracy, she would show such an expression.
Minghan was a little scared by Xuan Wuran's eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head timidly, not daring to look at her.
Xuan Wuran knew that her expression would often show a fierce look. She hurriedly restrained her face and said gently, "You have just come from the dining room. Do you know why the prince asked the butler to block the path in front of the study?"
Minghan was unscheming. She felt that it was her honor to ask her questions by the dancer. She mistakenly thought that she was going to be reused. She was so excited that she said nothing directly without passing through her brain.
"I heard that it was because the prince favored the Princess last night, and the Queen could not get up. The Prince was afraid of the footsteps of others awakening the Princess, so he specially ordered the housekeeper to take the guard to disperse everyone. He said that the Princess really favored the Princess, and it really made others envious. They all said that they were different from others' fate. I really believed it. The Princess' life was so good."
Xuan Wuran felt particularly uncomfortable when she heard this. Her hands were already clenched under her sleeves. When she saw Minghan's longing and admiring eyes, she felt particularly upset. She waved her hand and signaled Minghan to leave. Minghan was about to leave, but Xuan Wuran seemed to remember something and hurriedly called her.
"Xiao Minghan!"
Minghan said in surprise, "What else do you have to do with the Empress?"
A scheming flashed in Xuan Wuran's eyes, but soon swept away. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think you and Mingxi are incredible twins, but it doesn't look like you, you really are twins?"
Minghan obviously didn't know that this was a trap. She quickly replied simply, "Can't you really see that? Otherwise, I'll drive Ming'er to wear the same clothes as my sister and the same bun. As long as I don't speak, the queen will definitely think that we are the same person."
Xuan Wuran guided with ulterior motives, "Is that so? OK, let me compare and see if our little Minghan is really as beautiful as Mingxi!"
Minghan's cheeks were flushed. Yes, although she and Mingxi were twins, Mingxi dressed up in a simple and elegant manner on weekdays, while she liked the gorgeous and handsome colors, so others praised Mingxi for being more beautiful than her. Minghan had never been praised, so naturally he was not valued. Compared to her sister who came to the sky and the ground, Xuan Wuran said so many words to her and gave her so many smiles. She was already floating and forgetful.
The next day, Minghan really came to see Xuan Wuran wearing a plain dress like Mingxi. As she said, if she didn't open her mouth and talk, it would probably be difficult to distinguish even if her biological parents saw her, let alone outsiders.
Xuan Wuran saw "Mingxi" standing in front of her, her eyes were almost filled with ecstasy. In fact, she had long wanted to put a confidant next to An Nuanori and took the opportunity to attack An Nuanori, but Lian Qiao almost followed An Nuanori without a single step, which made her no chance. Recently, Lian Qiao was busy with her marriage, which has to be said to be an excellent......
Seeing Xuan Wuran silent, Minghan thought that her appearance did not meet Xuan Wuran's requirements. She couldn't help but ask confidently, "Empress, aren't I as beautiful as my sister? Why don't the Empress talk?"
Xuan Wuran smiled and said calmly, "If I say you are as beautiful as your sister, it is unconvincing. You must be the one who knows your sister the most!"
Minghan thought that this was right. In order to get as much praise as Mingxi, she couldn't help asking Xuan Wuran for help, "Who is the queen who knows the most familiar with her sister?"
Xuan Wuran's mouth showed a trace of undetectable success. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course it was the Crown Princess An Nuan weave. Mingxi serves her every day. If you can deceive her eyes with fakes, then it means you are as beautiful as your sister..."
Minghan's heart was completely moved by Xuan Wuran, but she... didn't think that she would pay the most terrible price for her simplicity...
In the particularly bright room, the quiet atmosphere makes people feel at ease, and the incense burner on the table has been burned out.
An Nuanzhi sat in the sun and read a book. The autumn sun was not very dazzling, but it was very warm.
She lowered her head, looked calm and beautiful, and had a trace of fairy temperament.
A little maid named Mudan next to her was stunned. She thought to herself that their Crown Princess was so beautiful. Because she lost her mind, she found that the incense on the table had burned out after a long time. She hurriedly shouted outside, "Is there anyone outside? Come in and add incense burner."
The door opened, Mingxi, who was covered in plain colors, came in to expand the fragrance. Peony was a little surprised. She took Xiang over and asked strangely, "Sister Mingxi, didn't you say you were going out today? Why are you here again?"
"Mingxi" didn't say anything, she just lowered her head to add incense. After adding incense, she took the incense pole and stepped out again.
Peony looked at Mingxi's back and said to herself, "It's so strange. Isn't Sister Mingxi's favorite talking on weekdays? Is it because she is afraid that the Empress will be quiet in reading, so she doesn't speak?"
"Come here." At this time, An Nuanzhi's call came.
Mudan didn't continue to think about it anymore. She walked quickly to An Nuanzhi to work on her own affairs, and this matter was thrown behind her.
Outside the yard, Minghan ran out with a little excitement with the incense pole used by the incense. Her face turned red. She actually succeeded. Not only did the Crown Princess not recognize her, but even Mudan did not find any problem. What Xuan Wuran said when she came out appeared in her mind.
"The Crown Princess has been a little weak recently. You add this spice to her incense burner. This fragrance is very pleasant and very healthy. If she doesn't find that you are Minghan, then you will succeed! I will reward you more. If she finds that you are Minghan, she will also be very happy that you will send her such healthy spices, and she will reward you more..."
A trace of joy flashed across Minghan's cheeks. She happily went to Xuan Wuran to receive the reward. She was simply not sure what a tragic ending she would face...
At night, several little maids brought food to the yard warmly as usual.
An Nuanzhi has a habit. She likes to prepare her own nutritious meals for dinner. She is tired of eating ancient foods and misses modern foods, so she locks her in her house every night to study, and the little maids are also used to coming here.
As usual, a few little maids pushed the door and went in, but today was different from the past. No one came out to greet him. What was even more strange was that there was a pungent smell coming to the face, and the room was filled with smoke. Just when they were surprised, one of the little maids had sharp eyes and she shouted loudly.
"Not good! The Crown Princess is in a coma!"
Another little maid asked inexplicably, "How could this happen?" She was about to go over to check, but she tripped under her feet. When she looked down, she saw that it was a green peony. The peony opened her big eyes and no longer breathed.
"Ah, it's dead!"
