In the afternoon of the next day, the spring scenery was just right in the back garden of Changle Palace.
Xiao Xiruo leaned on the red sleeve pavilion, looking down at the peach blossoms and white butterflies in the garden. The small red clay stove was beeping, and the calm fragrance of tea was rising.
Not long after, the snowfall attracted a girl dressed in flowers, and it was Yan Moqing who was wearing a white dress and gave her a greeting card.
"My daughter has met the noble concubine."
Yan Moqing bowed his head and saluted, as written in the original book, neither humble nor arrogant.
However, unlike every character in the original book who would sigh with emotion upon seeing her and feel that this girl was definitely not a thing in the pool, Xiao Xiruo's expression was indifferent and he just raised his hand to signal her to sit down.
Bai Zhi, who was on the side, immediately came forward to watch the tea and directed the maids waiting aside to bring dishes of exquisite snacks.
"Miss Yan Er came to the palace today. Are you really here to treat me?"
Xiao Xiruo did not drink tea, but started talking directly.
Yan Moqing also saw her intention and immediately replied:
"Mo Qing is not talented. I see that your Majesty is extremely ill and there is no cure for her. So Mo Qing came to the palace today not so much for a consultation, but as a special visit to see your Majesty. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
"Heart-to-heart talk?"
Xiao Xiruo smiled noncommittally.
Immediately, he raised his hand and told Xingxue, Bai Zhi and others to retreat to the pavilion, leaving only Wen Susu, who had just brought up the Poria and Chestnut Cake and hadn't figured out the situation yet, at the table.
"This must be Miss Wen, the Poison Immortal of the Owl Clan, Wen Susu."
Yan Moqing glanced at Wen Susu and immediately checked the information Feng Xuan gave him.
It is said that this woman is extremely skilled in poison, and she once poisoned a small town in Beiyi by herself. Therefore, although she is an alien from the Owl tribe, she can walk around in the Great Yan Kingdom.
This time when she came south to Beijing, she was resting in Zhangtai Liu, the owl brothel under the Jiaofang Division. Unexpectedly, the Night King Feng Yehan actually set an ambush to capture her and dedicated her to Xiao Xiruo in front of him as quickly as possible.
…
Therefore, Xiao Xiruo, who brought Wen Susu to Prince Qi's Mansion that day and happened to bump into Feng Hua and the servant, became the biggest variable in her and Feng Xuan's plan.
Because what Xiao Xiruo couldn't see, Wen Susu might understand at a glance.
Looking at Wen Susu who nodded slightly to him, Yan Moqing finally got straight to the point:
"Presumably the imperial concubine already knows what happened to Prince Gong and the maid Miaoke that day."
Xiao Xiruo was silent, but her eyes looking at Yan Moqing were clear.
"That's right, Prince Gong was poisoned by Hehuansan, and Miaoke didn't kill himself but was poisoned."
Yan Moqing smiled, and then said without any psychological burden:
"I was the one who administered the medicine. To be more precise, the whole farce that day was planned by Brother Xuan and I."
Seeing Yan Moqing being so calm, Wen Susu beside her couldn't help but widen her eyes.
In the past two days, the Lord had already traced the clues to King Xuan, and based on his medical skills, it was even easier to pinpoint Yan Moqing.
After all, this man was not only an excellent doctor, but he was also hard to find during the time when "Miaoke" took action.
However, she never expected that Yan Moqing would actually come to the little noble concubine to expose herself.
Yes, they have indeed found her and King Xuan, but there is no evidence to identify them.
Because both Yan Moqing and Yan Moqing do things very cleanly.
The young man, Konwei, and Miaoke are all crucial figures in this matter, but they are not from Yan Moqing and King Xuan.
As for those hidden secrets of Prince Xuan that were exposed in Prince Qi's Mansion, I am afraid that they have already used various reasons to avoid them or left Prince Qi's Mansion.
What's more, he might have changed his appearance and sneaked into the palace that day, temporarily replacing the original steward or servant...
In short, all the evidence they have to identify each other is only one-sided words from their side.
Therefore, under such a favorable situation, Yan Moqing has no need to expose herself...
In Wen Susu's opinion, such a move was really silly.
Compared with Wen Susu's surprise, Xiao Xiruo seemed much calmer.
"So what does Miss Yan Er want to tell me?"
"My servant is not talented. Today, I will offer you tea instead of wine to thank the imperial concubine for turning a blind eye and not directly exposing the conspiracy."
Yan Moqing picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
The reason why she said that the imperial concubine in front of her was a variable was because everything was exposed when she bumped into Feng Hua.
Wen Susu saw that Feng Hua had been poisoned by Hehuan Powder, so someone checked the hidden stakes in Prince Qi's palace.
Combining the hidden stakes in Feng Hua and Prince Qi's palace, as well as Miaoke's sudden poisonous attack, the other party has been able to piece together the story in all likelihood.
And the sight of her from a distance after leaving the mansion that day confirmed her suspicions.
It was the imperial concubine who investigated them, and everything they did was known to the other party.
But after finding out, the other party did not expose them.
Even after being exposed, they still have ways to avoid trouble, but it is better to do less than to do more. The hidden dangers saved after doing less are real.
For this, she would like to thank Xiao Xiruo.
"Miss Yan Er's words are serious," Xiao Xiruo stroked the tea cup in her hand and said with a somewhat tired expression: "Prince Qi, the Hua family, and your family all want to annex my Xiao family. I turned a blind eye that day. The eyes are just for profit."
The implication of Xiao Xiruo's words is very simple, everyone is an opponent in this matter.
So if you are not happy, I will be happy.
Yan Moqing obviously understood what Xiao Xiruo meant, but she felt that there was something she needed to explain.
"My dear concubine, in your opinion, what happened that day was probably because the courtier was fighting for power and gain for King Xuan, but you don't know that it was the courtier who wanted to avenge herself, and brother Xuan was the one who helped."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Xiao Xiruo expressed her interest in a timely manner and motioned for Yan Moqing to continue.
And Yan Moqing's next words did not disappoint her.
Because Yan Moqing explained in detail the reasons why those people suffered on that day.
Jiang's mother and daughter have made things difficult for her for more than ten years and almost killed her several times.
As a father, Yan Feng spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife. He had acquiesced in the evil deeds of the Jiang family and his daughter for many years.
So she ruined their Phoenix dream and made Yan Jin'er, who thought she was the proud daughter of heaven, fall into the quagmire.
As for the "heartless man" Feng Qi, she felt that the punishment of making him lose face in front of the courtiers was not too good at all.
"What about Miaoke, Aunt Qiong, the guards and Prince Gong?"
Wen Susu said curiously.
Since this is revenge, these people should also be guilty.
"Although Miaoke and Sister Qiong are slaves, they often make suggestions for their master. They have followed the master to plot against me, so I will not let it go. As for what Prince Gong and the guard have done, hasn't Miss Wen done it? Ever heard of it?”
Wen Susu nodded. Prince Gong and Feng Hua's bad reputation was no secret in Dayan.
"So the people that brother Xuan and I harmed that day were all sinners. The imperial concubine let us go. We should let the imperial concubine understand everything."
