"What? Some people say that the Niulu eunuch has been favored by His Majesty in recent years because he took the longevity pill and made great contributions to killing assassins for Your Majesty?" Cao Xiwan was surprised.
Mother Luo nodded.
She frowned. This news was half true and half false. It couldn't have come from the eunuch.
It is true that the cow eunuch took the elixir, but it is false to kill the assassin.
But if the false news spreads, it will not stop everyone from wanting to try Fushou Dan.
"Don't try to persuade Mr. Hou anymore," Luo's mother reminded implicitly. This was what Qin Meng asked her to tell Cao Xiwan.
Cao Xiwan heard the reminder. This rumor may have been spread by the Marquis.
She sneered, did he think he would be foolproof when he went to Guanshan with such a trained fan?
She thought that Liu Xiaozi should be asked to quickly come up with the improved prescription of Luo Han Dan.
She said goodbye to Mother Luo and turned around to go to Luo Yuan. The boy from Songbi actually thanked her: "We, Mr. Liu, are studying pharmacology intensively, so we won't see any guests for the time being."
Huh? Could it be to take revenge on her because she asked him to strip naked and examine her?
But she showed mercy. Cao Xiwan was indignant and felt that Liu Ruhai was ungrateful. She was very kind to him.
Yang Pingcui was also a spy, but he was stripped naked and hung up on the mountain for three days and three nights.
She doesn't care about Liu Xiaozi.
She also snatched Yang Pingcui's feather coat and gave it away. She was also very greedy for Liu Xiaozi's Eight Hundred Arhats Golden Needle. Didn't she hold back?
In the courtyard, birds chirped under the thick shade, and it was not like Liu Ruhai had not heard her voice.
He held the scroll and walked around the room. A shadow of a green leaf fell on the desk. He sighed. The reason why he couldn't hold it back was that he realized that although he wanted to drive Cao Xiwan away, someone was faster than him.
.
——Did Feng Junqing have this intention for a long time?
Anyone with a discerning eye will see that Cao Xiwan has a group of informants, and no one can deal with Marquis Nankang unless she is driven away.
She seemed to complain a few times, and the soft footsteps in front of the courtyard finally faded away, and Liu Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.
Last time she barged in directly in the middle of the night, but now it was still broad daylight, so she might not be able to do it again.
She naturally asked him to take off his clothes and show her. Liu Ruhai suddenly understood Yang Pingcui. Whenever this person mentioned the Qingluo female ghost, he was full of hatred of life and death.
Moreover, Liu Ruhai finally saw the bird feather coat.
On the East Palace.
He had really inquired around in the past few days, and only heard some inexplicable rumors. It was said that the monster repaid his kindness, and a fat carp spirit with a baby came in and was placed by the Xuanwu Lake as a gift to the East Palace. The monster really moved the world.
Affection.
Over there, Yang Pingcui was shocked when he received the news from Liu Ruhai.
"East Palace?"
"yes."
It was impossible to come back. Yang Pingcui gritted his teeth in anger. What kind of monster is not a monster? Didn't he know that the Qingluo female ghost was a bastard who dared to secretly enter the imperial mausoleum with Su Jintian to play, euphemistically calling it a bone-picking game?
?
Liu Ruhai invited Songbi into the room and asked carefully: "What did she say to you at the door just now?"
"Sir, she said not to spread rumors about Eunuch Niu taking pills."
"Niulu?"
Liu Ruhai even got wind of the false news that Eunuch Niu was taking longevity pills.
But he personally performed an autopsy and found out the elixir in the hairpin. What the eunuch Niu took was not Chen Ming's Fushou Dan, but another imitation elixir with at least twenty times the amount of corpse poison grass. Not to mention the eunuch Niu.
He did not kill the assassin to serve His Majesty.
Was it a rumor spread by someone ordered by the Marquis of Nankang? To lure the followers to come and take the elixir voluntarily. Liu Ruhai could see Song Chengming's intention at a glance. But now that Qing Luo suspected Liu Ruhai of being in love with him, he had to investigate again.
On the contrary, in the Hou Mansion, Liu Ruhai had already asked Songbi, the boy in front of him.
"Young Master, I heard it from Yubi. Yubi heard it from Manager Lian Er. The elixir in Eunuch Niu's hairpin was found during the autopsy by Young Master. This is what Master Hou and Manager Lian Er said. There are only a few of us.
Know."
Liu Ruhai thought about it and realized that this news was clearly only spread in the study room inside and outside the mansion, and it could not be Lou Shuluan. She was busy with Song Chengming's recruitment of musicians these days, so she would not dare to collude with outsiders on this matter.
In this case, an outsider must have come to the outer study and brought the news out.
There is only one kind of person who is suspicious at the moment.
The musicians who came into the mansion a while ago.
Liu Ruhai changed his clothes, tied his scarf, and tied his jade pendant. He was about to go out. He thought about it and shook his head.
He originally wanted to go to Duan's house in Lefang to have a few drinks and summon Duan Jin to ask questions, but he was also extremely cautious and did not want anyone to see him entering and leaving the house of the Lefang woman, not to mention Cao Xiwan.
What would she think if she knew it? Wouldn't it be too bad if she decided that it was easy for him to take off his clothes? Even the masters and wives of the powerful people know that it will not be easy for him to go in and out of the powerful people's houses in the future.
Isn't it natural for someone who is a famous doctor from a well-known family to be clean and self-sufficient, and to be elegant and elegant?
Fortunately, Duanjin actually had some movement.
The news came from the old stall's house in Shunyifang.
"General manager, Mrs. Duan came to Wang Lao's house to sing a concert, and suddenly asked Mrs. Lei about a Jinshi named Feng." This news reached Baifu'er's ears. After all, he is now in Wang Lao's house.
When it comes to things happening at home, the news in Shunyifang is the most chaotic.
Liu Ruhai packed up a few medical books at his home and took them back to Luoyuan. When he heard this, he smiled at Baifu and said, "What kind of Jinshi? It must be Feng Junqing, pretending to be one."
Baifu'er understood, and the manager asked him to find out more about Feng Jinshi.
"That piece of gold?"
"Don't worry about her. Madam Cao has a good relationship with her and must have checked her details." Liu Ruhai was quite sure of this point.
Duan Jin, the head girl in Lehu, is nicknamed Duan Niangzi, taking her mother's surname.
However, there was once a maid named Duan who was really favored in the Duke of Wei's house. It is said that she was the Duke's wife before he married his first wife, but there was no news about her later for some reason.
Her family lived in a side alley of Qingle Street, and the neighbors were all happy households. She did not expect to meet Feng Jinshi.
He asked her about Cao Xiwan.
This person should be an old acquaintance with Madam Cao, maybe there is still a relationship?
For a period of time, Jin had been wandering around the market, and had been in and out of high-ranking families. Of course, she had a first-class taste in men. But Feng Jinshi had a slightly green look, which made her feel pitiful and cute. Maybe she just saw Lady Cao on the road in the past two years.
Talking about the way she dressed as a woman and rode down the street dressed as a man, it was really unforgettable.
She turned around and quietly told Shen Shuangtian, who was now in charge of Lehu's eyeliner, about this matter. Shen Shuangtian then told Mao Ergou, and of course the news reached Cao Xiwan's ears.
She remained motionless, sitting in her house waiting for news.
When it comes to the origins of these romantic scholars who hang out in the entertainment venues and go in and out of Lehu's homes in the capital, there is no way to escape the inquiry of Jin.
Naturally, Shen Shuangtian also told his senior brother Su Jintian about this, and he laughed: "It is a common practice in our yamen to ask Lehu for information. But her own group of people must not be from Lehu."
After saying that, Su Jintian stood up and said, "Go and tell Duan Jin that I will go to her house for a drink today."
Shen Shuangtian blinked. She was now a big girl with an apple face. She thought for a moment: "Do you want to sleep?"
"..." Su Jintian looked at the junior sister silently. The tone of his words should not be too similar to Cao Xiwan, but this is the tone of the junior sister talking to the senior brother. Is it something she can ask?
"No rules!"
Shen Shuangtian was scolded by him in a deep voice, and she subconsciously respected her senior brother. She lowered her head and said nothing. When Xiao Qiao pulled her, she ran away quickly. But she was anxious in her heart.
Mrs. Cao asked her to sell her senior brother to Mrs. Ximen, but she didn’t say that she would sell him for a piece of gold.
Mrs. Ximen said that it would be fine as long as the senior brother went to have a drink. Mrs. Cao had already collected the money. She also shared half of the money with her, so that she could keep an eye on her and help her get the job done.
Xiao Qiao listened to the junior sister's anxious complaints and was silent for a long time. It was so miserable. The senior brother's private business was secretly restricted by the palace supervisor Xiao Zhao. He could not collect the money and had no time to pay the debt. This really offended the young lady.
