Chapter 42: | 【42】

A person with ghosts, no matter how good she pretends, if nothing happens, her reaction and performance at certain moments are different from normal people.
After observing for a while, Lin Feilu discovered that Yuyin paid special attention to Xiao Lan's daily life.
Qingyan and Yunyou would not let them enter the house and wait for them, and they would never pass their hands on personal matters. Another maid would go to other places to wait, but Yuyin would not, she would still wait outside the door. The loyal and honest look of waiting for orders at any time, but in fact, the eyes will secretly glance into the house.
What Xiao Lan ate, did, and said, seemed to be her surveillance content.
Other than that, there was no other action.
She watched Xiao Lan quietly every day, and Lin Feilu watched her quietly every day, which felt strange and interesting. I didn't feel very boring when I didn't go out recently, but now it has added a lot of fun to her life.
It is rainy in spring, and the spring rain is continuous, and the warm weather has gradually cooled down again. After a long day of rain, Lin Jingyuan, who hadn't seen Sister Xiaolu, rushed over.
He knew that because of Xiao Lan's affairs, Xiao Lu was not in a good mood recently, and he asked Kang An to send him everything he had fun on weekdays.
As soon as I came over today, I took her and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has recently introduced a lot of exotic flowers and weeds. My mother and concubine went to see it the day before yesterday. She said it is very interesting and interesting. I will take you to enjoy the flowers and relax! "
Xiao Lan's illness has gradually recovered recently, and she has been able to walk off the ground. She looked at Lin Feilu and smiled softly: "Let's go down with the Fourth Hall. You haven't been out for a long time, don't get sick."
Lin Feilu couldn't keep up with Lin Jingyuan's interest, and nodded in agreement.
Lin Jingyuan happily took her to enjoy the flowers.
The palace seems to lack everything, but in fact, according to modern life philosophy, everything is lacking.
Take this flower as an example, it's actually the usual ones to enjoy. If there is a variety that you haven't seen before, it will be regarded as a strange flower, and it will be introduced to the palace for the Emperor Lin and the ladies to appreciate.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has introduced four kinds of strange flowers this time, all of which have never been seen before. Although Lin Feilu didn't have much research on flowers, she still showed an unbelievable look at the large white flowers with huge leaves and thick roots in the flower shed.
and many more? Isn't this giant hogweed? ? ?
When grandma was still alive, she would go back to the countryside every summer to accompany her. This kind of big white flowers can be seen everywhere in that small village. Grandma said it was called big hogweed, it should not be touched, and the skin would rot if touched.
She didn't believe in evil, so she picked a plant and poured the juice out of her hand. In the afternoon of the next day, the palm of my hand started to hurt fiercely, gradually swelling and blisters. Although it was cured later, she still had scars on the back of her hand because she had scratched the skin at the time, which was only eliminated when she grew up.
She checked on the Internet and found that the botanical name is giant pigweed. It is a highly poisonous plant. Its juice contains furanocoumarin. Once it touches the skin, it will cause sun-induced dermatitis, which will combine within two days. The sun will produce a burning sensation and blisters.
Of course, depending on each person's physique, some people will have painless red bumps after contact, and then may turn into purple or brown scars that last for several years and become sensitive to sunlight.
Even if this juice enters the eyes, it may cause blindness.
All in all, very toxic! To death!
But the reproduction ability is particularly strong, the vitality is strong, and it can be seen everywhere on the country roadside.
Even if it burns, it will not die, but the spring breeze will regenerate.
This House of Internal Affairs is really a talent. He actually introduced this highly poisonous plant into the palace as an exotic flower and planned to plant it? Do you want the palace to be conquered by this aggressive plant?
But it’s not surprising to think about it. This big hogweed grows quite confusing, with white flowers in clusters. It was introduced as an ornamental plant in Europe, Britain and other places.
Seeing that she had been staring at the few big white flowers, Lin Jingyuan couldn't help asking: "Little deer, do you like this flower?" Before she could answer, Lin Jingyuan told the palace man next to him: "Send a few plants to Mingyue Palace!"
Lin Feilu is planning to refuse, who wants to keep this poisonous thing! But suddenly there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking of something, he swallowed back, smiled and watched the palace man put the big white flowers in the pots and moved to Mingyue Palace.
The big hogweed is still very beautiful. As soon as it moved to Mingyue Palace, it attracted everyone and looked around and wondered.
Lin Feilu told Qingyan: "You must take care of these flowers in the future, don't knock them, their juice is very precious."
Qingyan asked curiously: "Does the juice of this flower have any effect?"
Lin Feilu didn't say any more, only pursed his lips and smiled mysteriously.
Qingyan was ordered to keep these potted flowers under the porch, and in accordance with the princess's request, she didn't knock at all. In the evening, Lin Feilu took a pair of scissors, walked to the flowerpot, and cut some branches and leaves.
Qingyan was taken aback: "What is the princess doing?"
Lin Feilu hissed at her, put the cut branches and leaves in the mortar, and ran into Xiao Lan's room holding the mortar.
The sound of making a mortar soon came out from the room, Qingyan was curious, and the sound of rain on the eyeliner was even more curious, pretending to be sweeping the eaves of the corridor, in fact, he has been paying attention to the movement in the house.
About the time of a stick of incense, I heard Lin Feilu shouting inside: "Green smoke, come in with a pot of hot water."
Qingyan took the order and quickly took the hot water in. Yuyin couldn't tell him not to enter the house, only to hear Qingyan smile in surprise: "What's the application on the face of the lady?"
Lin Feilu should have stopped the sound, and there was no movement in the house for a while.
After a while, Qingyan came out with the water basin, and Yuyin swept the ground into the basin, but saw many green-green debris floating on the surface of the water. She looked at the few big white flowers under the corridor, and when she thought of what she had just heard, she knew what they were doing.
It turns out that the five princesses smashed this wonderful flower to lay the face on the nobleman Lan?
This is the first time she has seen this strange flower. She doesn't know the effect. Is it any good for the skin?
Yuyin pressed the doubts in his heart and continued to observe.
Later, she discovered that the fifth princess would cut a section of the juice of a large white flower twice a day in the morning and evening, mash it and apply it to Xiao Lan.
Before Xiao Lan's face was stung by a bee several red marks, although it would not be disfigured, the marks remained. But after a week, Yuyin found that the red mark on Xiao Lan's face had disappeared!
Not only has the red mark disappeared, but the skin seems to be much softer and fairer than before, as if it can pinch out water!
She couldn't help but glanced at the few large white flowers that were kept under the porch, which had been cut by the five princesses, leaving only a lone flower bone.
No wonder that when the flowers moved back that day, the five princesses said that the juice was precious, but she did not expect that covering her face would have such benefits for the skin!
Yuyin has been monitoring Xiao Lan’s daily life since he came to Mingyue Palace, but Xiao Lan is really a very boring person. She doesn’t step out of the yard for half a step. She just reads and embroiders in the room to play with her son. She has some useful information. Without inquiring, Empress Mei was already a little dissatisfied.
At this time, I was so happy when I got the news. After having lunch, I just found an excuse to leave Mingyue Palace. Through the method that I had discussed with Fei Mei before, she passed the incident to Fei Mei.
Lin Feilu came out of the room without seeing his surveillance object, turned around and asked Qingyan, "Where is the sound of rain?"
Qing Yan replied: "She accidentally lost half of her earrings and went out to look for them."
Lin Feilu looked at the rain falling on the porch and yawned, "When will the rain stop?"
Qing Yan smiled and said: "The slave servant heard from them yesterday that the people of the Qintian Supervisor have estimated that it will be these two days. It is time to get out of the sun, and the quilt smells a little musty."
She looked at the big white flower that was wet by the rain, and said with a smile: "This flower was cut by the princess and only the flower is left. It is strange to say that the slave girl always feels that the branches and leaves of this flower are smashed. taste."
Cucumber is cucumber. In order to avoid the emperor's character, it is called Cucumber.
Lin Feilu smiled and did not answer.
I thought to myself, it was originally a cucumber, can it not taste like cucumber?
She hid the cucumbers in Xiao Lan's room early every day. After cutting the big hogweed and taking it in, the cucumbers were actually pounded. The red mark on Xiao Lan's face is a bit inflamed, so it's good to replenish water and reduce inflammation. Cucumber skin care and moisturizing are first-class, of course it works.
It's just that they are all turquoise, and they can't be seen after smashing them. She didn't tell the truth to Qing Yan, but secretly told Xiao Lan that Qing Yan always thought she was really applying big pig grass to her face.
Xiao Lan's foundation is good, but the state of her skin depends more on her mood.
Seeing that Concubine Mei is about to suffer, can she be in a bad mood?
I put on a cucumber mask every day, and I have children on my side, eating well, sleeping well, and my skin does not improve.
After half an hour, Yuyin came back. Lin Feilu hugged her long ears and finished with Lin Zhanyuan under the corridor. He looked up and saw her trotting in under the umbrella. He smiled and asked, "Yuyin, have you found your earrings?"
Yuyin smiled shyly: "I found it, thank you princess for your concern."
Lin Feilu thinks that there are actually quite a few acting schools in this palace.
Yuyin returned to Mingyue Palace safely, and Fei Mei also received the message from her.
There was a continuous light rain outside the house, and Concubine Mei sat on her side and looked at Xixiang suspiciously: "Is it true? Why has this palace never heard of it? How did the little girl know?"
Xixiang thought for a while and said: "Yuyin is credible, this matter should not be faked. Before the slave maid, I heard that the fifth princess was very close to a new imperial physician named Meng Fuji from the Imperial Hospital, and I heard that Meng Fuji's parents were all rural doctors. Well informed, maybe Na Meng Fuji told her, but I don’t know."
Concubine Mei nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while, and ordered: "I order some pots of this flower from the House of Internal Affairs."
Xixiang took the order and left, and Dabaihua was soon moved to the Meifei Palace.
The appearance of this white flower is indeed wonderful. The calyx is made up of countless small white flowers, clustered in the branches, it is really beautiful. Concubine Mei watched for a while, and then ordered the maid beside her: "You take a branch and smash it to put it on your face and try the medicine."
The maid took the order and applied the crushed turquoise liquid on her face as instructed. After applying it and washing it off with water, he returned and returned to life: "Manny, the slave and maid have no discomfort on her face."
Concubine Mei leaned close to look at her for a long time, and murmured, "I haven't seen any tenderness either."
Xixiang smiled on the side and said, "How can it be so fast? Didn't Yuyin say that it took Xiao Lan a full seven days to see results sooner or later? If the empress doesn't rest assured, call her again tomorrow."
Although Yuyin was credible, and Mingyue Palace had no chance of knowing that there was her eyeliner in the palace, but with the vigilance of Concubine Mei for many years, she did not use it immediately.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the maidservant was called to see again.
The toxicity of this big hogweed has to be combined with sunlight to occur, but recently the spring rains have continued, and the shadow of the sun has not been seen, and the palace lady naturally has no discomfort on her face.
After returning from the hot spring palace, Emperor Lin never turned over her sign again. Although he sent people to reward her from time to time, others never stepped into her palace. The day after tomorrow will be the birthday of Concubine Mei. According to the habits of previous years, Emperor Lin will come to accompany her for lunch.
Because of her fall from favor, Fei Mei has been a little haggard recently, and her skin is not as fair as before. Seeing the palace maid who tried the medicine was fine, she naturally no longer hesitated. That night, she let Xixiang smash the big white flowers and put a thick layer on her entire face.
But Yuyin said, Lin Feilu was reluctant to use it, and only took a small piece each time.
Then she should use more, and the effect should be faster. When your Majesty comes down in the future, be sure to let him be amazed by his beauty!
On such a day, until her birthday, Concubine Mei would have gotten up early and dressed up.
Before washing her face, she applied the usual white flowers to her face. Xixiang combed her makeup and smiled and said, "Today is the birthday of the mother, and the weather is clearing up. Wait for your majesty to come over for lunch later, and the mother can accompany her. Take a stroll in the Royal Garden."
Concubine Mei couldn't help but smile.
Although Emperor Lin hadn't forgotten the stinky foot scene, it has been a long time since, after all, he still loves Fei Mei, so naturally it is impossible to keep hanging. After so long, the odor of Aifei's feet must have been cured. Today is her birthday, and it is time to go and see her.
So as soon as the early morning ended, Emperor Lin came to the Silver Frost Palace of Princess Mei.
Concubine Mei was ready for a long time. She was dressed in cyan gauze and delicate, and her makeup was pure and charming. When she saw Emperor Lin, there was nothing in her eyes that had been left out in the cold by him for a long time and complained, only the endless miss and shyness of him.
Emperor Lin was in a good mood. He spent lunch with her and enjoyed a lot of things. After the meal, Princess Mei suggested: "Your Majesty, it's a good day today, will your concubines accompany you to enjoy the flowers?"
How could Emperor Lin unwilling? Immediately pulled Concubine's soft little hand and took her out.
The sky is indeed very good today, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines down without a trace, falling on the skin, giving it a warm feeling.
The two enjoyed the flowers and laughed all the way, Mei Fei also played with butterflies, the enchanting figure, the beautiful laughter, Lin Di had completely forgotten the smell of her feet.
After joking around, Lin Di suddenly found out, Hey, why is there so many red bumps on the white face of Concubine Ai?
At first, he thought he had read it wrong, and when Concubine Mei stopped after the show, he approached and saw that his pupils were dilated in surprise.
In the morning, Concubine Mei saw that her fair and tender face was suddenly covered with dense red bumps, deep and shallow, big and small, and her intensive phobia would have to run away. Lin Di only glanced at it, and he felt nauseous on the spot.
This is even more unbearable than the original foot smell!
Concubine Mei looked at the expression of Emperor Lin, and she felt a little bit in her heart, but she didn't know what had happened, and she hesitated to ask, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Until Xixiang yelled out in a panic: "Manny! Your face!"
Concubine Mei froze for a moment, and felt her fingers trembling and touched her face. She didn't feel any pain, but she could feel the dense lumps on her face, screamed, and almost fainted on the spot.
Emperor Lin immediately ordered the palace man to take her back to the Yinshuang Temple, and let him pass the doctor, but he hurried back to the Yangxin Temple, half-eyed not wanting to see the face that would make him have a nightmare.
The imperial physician quickly went to Yinshuangdian. After the consultation, she asked about her recent food and external use. After Mei Fei came back and took a look in the mirror, her whole body collapsed and she couldn't stop crying, or Xixiang suddenly remembered something and led the imperial physician. Go to see that big white flower.
The imperial doctor didn't recognize the flower, so he took a section and put it in the medicine box, saying that he would go back to study. This symptom was unheard of before, and the imperial physician could only temporarily prescribe some medicine for Mei Fei to retire.
In the next two days, Mei Fei was bedridden, taking medicine and applying medicine, but the red bumps on her face did not disappear at all.
The doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital collectively studied the big white flower, but they did not find anything famous, and finally concluded that the flower is poisonous.
After reporting to Emperor Lin, Emperor Lin was stunned and asked inconceivably: "Is she crazy, why would she use this unknown thing to cover her face?"
Imperial doctor: "..."
When Concubine Mei learned that the flower was actually poisonous, she collapsed again. The secret cannot be kept in the palace. The disfigurement of Concubine Mei's face with poisonous flowers spread quickly. After hearing this, everyone responded to Lin Di. Is she crazy? !
Concubine Mei is indeed going crazy. She stayed in the room for ten days, and the imperial doctor came in and out every day. The red bumps on her face finally subsided, but a terrible purple scar was left behind.
The ugliness and horror can't be covered by a few layers of powder.
Ten days later, Concubine Mei ordered someone to bring Yuyin to Yinshuang Hall.
After Yuyin had heard about this earlier, she had been in panic all day long, but the palace was no better than other places, and she couldn't run if she wanted to.
But she couldn't say anything, she couldn't ask anything. The people in Mingyue Palace looked like nothing happened, and their attitude towards her was the same as before.
Yuyin has always been lucky, thinking of the five princesses' kindness, and begging her by herself, it will eventually survive. Unexpectedly, before she had time to ask, she was tied to the Silver Frost Hall by Concubine Mei's people.
...
Qingyan returned all the large white flowers in the yard to the House of Internal Affairs and handed them over to them. When she returned, Lin Feilu was feeding the rabbits under the corridor. She walked over and said in a low voice, "Princess, it has been an hour since Yuyin was brought there."
Lin Feilu told them about Yuyin after Concubine Mei was disfigured.
On the one hand, Qing Yan and Yun You were afraid, and on the other hand, their respect for the little princess went up to several levels.
Lin Feilu clapped his hands after feeding the rabbit, and told her: "Go and ask the emperor, I will pass now."
Qingyan hesitated to speak, and finally only worried: "Princess, be careful."
Lin Feilu nodded, and after leaving Mingyue Palace, he went straight to Yinshuang Palace.
When the time came, the door of the palace was closed tightly. She patted the door again. After a while, someone came to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the palace staff had not had time to speak, so she went in through the gap on one side and ran in. While yelling: "Princess Mei! Give me back my maid!"
There are traces of blood being cleaned on the floor in the courtyard, and the sound of rain is nowhere to be seen.
Hearing the shouts, the palace people walked out anxiously. Lin Feilu stood in the courtyard and looked at them angrily: "Where is Yuyin? Give me back Yuyin!"
One of them said: "The person mentioned by the five princesses is not in our palace, did you find the wrong person?"
Lin Feilu said loudly: "Impossible! I saw her taken away by your people! Hand her over!"
She was making a lot of noise outside, and Princess Mei couldn't sit still anymore, covered her face with a white gauze, and walked out with the help of Xixiang.
Even if she was covered with a veil, her forehead and bridge of nose could not hide the purple scars. Now, how could she not understand that it was the way of this little bitch. Seeing that she dared to come to her palace to spoil her, she really wanted to choke her to death.
But her surviving reason told herself that she couldn't do this, she just gritted her teeth and said coldly: "What are the five princesses doing? When is the Silver Frost Palace in this palace, where do you want to mess around?"
Lin Feilu looked at her pitifully: "Manny Mei, why do you want to take Yuyin? She is a court lady rewarded by my father, so please return her to me."
Concubine Mei said cruelly: "My palace does not know who you are talking about, and she is not here in my palace either!"
Lin Feilu was tearful and choked and said, "I saw it all. They took her away."
She pointed at the two eunuchs next to her.
The two eunuchs trembled and bowed their heads with a guilty conscience.
Concubine Mei said coldly: "You are wrong. This palace needs to rest, please go back to the fifth princess."
Lin Feilu looked like she was about to cry, Mei Fei became more angry as she looked at it, really trying to tear off the face of such a small who can pretend to be so young. She turned around and took two deep breaths, and said evilly: "Xixiang, see off the guests!"
Xixiang had just walked two steps forward, when Lin Feilu, who was standing in the courtyard, ran forward suddenly, ran to the feet of Concubine Mei and hugged her leg, and reluctantly said, "Give it back to me! Yuyin returned it to me! Why are you taking my court lady! You bad woman!"
Concubine Mei was so angry that she had no sense of reason, and she kicked it over without even thinking about it.
It's not actually a kick, she just threw her leg, trying to get her off.
Unexpectedly, the little girl fell to the ground with a scream, curled up and started crying.
Concubine Mei hadn't even reacted, so she heard an angry scold from the courtyard: "Presumptuous!"
Concubine Mei looked up and saw Emperor Lin who was approaching quickly, her legs softened and she knelt down immediately. The surrounding palace people all knelt down tremblingly, and Lin Di went straight to Lin Feilu who had fallen on the ground. When he picked her up, she discovered that she was sweating profusely, her face was pale, and she looked scared and uncomfortable.
Lin Di was really angry and distressed. He turned his head and looked at Concubine Mei, who was kneeling on the side. When he saw the terrible scar on her face, he shivered and looked back.
Xiao Wu cried in his arms and trembled and said: "Father, will you let Empress Mei return the sound of rain to me?"
Qingyan had already explained the situation when she went to invite Emperor Lin. Concubine Mei's people took away the maid of Mingyue Palace. This maid had a good relationship with the fifth princess, and the fifth princess came to ask for it.
Listening to her at this moment, Dang Even asked: "Where is the person? I haven't handed it over yet!"
Concubine Mei shook her body and refused to admit it: "The concubine does not know who the princess said, nor has she seen her!"
Children's words are certainly more authentic than adults.
Emperor Lin stood up holding the small dumpling and coldly ordered the guards who came with him: "Search me! I want to see people when I live, and the corpse when I die!"
When Fei Mei heard this, she softened and immediately collapsed.
Lin Di gave her a cold look, and walked out of the Silver Frost Hall in a big step with Xiao Wu.
He directly took the person to the Hall of Nurturing Heart, and passed the imperial physician to Lin Feilu to see a doctor. Fortunately, Xiao Wu was only frightened, and it didn't matter.
After waiting for her to fall asleep after drinking the medicine, Emperor Lin walked outside and listened to Peng Man cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, I found the corpse of the court lady in a well not far from the Silver Frost Palace. It was thrown into the well after death. His back leg was smashed, and he should have been tortured to death."
Although Emperor Lin had anticipated it a long time ago, listening to this return, he still had a chill.
Concubine Mei has always been gentle and kind in his heart, soft and shy, and can't even say a word of seriousness to the next person, but he did not expect to do such a cruel thing.
The court lady didn't know how to offend her, and she ended up like this.
Thinking that Xiao Wu woke up and heard about it for a while, he would cry. Lin Di was so upset that he asked, "How does Concubine Mei explain?"
Peng Man said: "The Concubine Mei yelled that she was wronged, saying that this matter has nothing to do with her, let her be aware of it."
Emperor Lin was so angry that he smashed the inkstone down: "How do I still need to observe it?! The traces of the stall in the yard that have been cleaned up are not visible to me when I am blind?!"
But she refused to confess to death, only Xiao Wuyi saw it, really wanting to convict, and lack of evidence. What's more, Concubine Mei's father is helping him manage the flood in Jiangnan.
After all, Emperor Lin was still an emperor who focused on national affairs. After getting angry, he calmed down and said in a low voice: "If the decree is passed on, Mei Fei De is not worthy. From now on, he will be removed from the concubine and reduced to the concubine. , Ban for three months, reflect on it!"
Peng Man left with an order.
The order, the whole harem was shocked.
Concubine Mei has been favored for many years. Although she has lost her favor not long ago, her Majesty also rewarded many things on her birthday. He accompanied him to dinner and strolled around the Royal Garden. Although the accident was ruined in the middle, it was so miserable. It stands to reason that he should condole. ? Why didn't they sympathize, but was demoted?
Just because you became ugly, you downgraded your status? ? ?
Your Majesty is too ruthless, right QAQ
It wasn't until the next day that news came out gradually saying that Concubine Mei was convicted because she killed a palace lady in the Five Princess Palace and injured the five princesses who went to ask for it.
It turns out that your Majesty still pity her, this matter should be put on others, it is estimated that it is not a good thing to drop a position.
Everyone in the harem had different thoughts, but they all understood a fact.
Concubine Mei is not a gentle and kind person at all, no one in this harem is cleaner than anyone else.
