"What is it?" Madam Dowager asked in surprise. She was most concerned about her own matters, so she could not be bothered to question Wei Yuewu.
"Not only your medicine pot, but there is also a problem with Concubine Dong's medicine pot!" Nanny Dong, who had a medicine pot in her hands, followed behind Nanny Hong and said anxiously.
"What? Mine too?!" Concubine Dong pretended as if she had just heard the news and staggered back in shock. She was about to trip and fall when a maid by the side supported her and grabbed her.
"W-Who did I and Madam Dowager offend? Why did that person want to kill both of us?!" Concubine Dong shrieked in horror and looked at Wei Yuewu with obvious suspicion.
After the dispute just now and hearing Concubine Dong's words, Madam Dowager also turned and looked at Wei Yuewu, feeling that Wei Yuewu was indeed very suspicious.
However, Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. Sure enough, Concubine Dong ha
The first person was the geomancer, who was carried in by Wei Luowen's bodyguards.Another bodyguard came in with a pot of ink."Lord Marquis, there's also some trace of Five Drums Grass in this ink," Doctor Ming frowned and said directly.It was very easy for a doctor who was familiar with Five Drums Grass' stench to detect the smell from such a large basin of ink. The stench was quite strong and obvious, which indicated that there was a significant amount of Five Drums Grass inside."So what if the ink has the trace of Five Drums Grass? Do you think someone will be stupid enough to drink the ink?!" Madam Dowager slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily. She was very dismayed about Wei Luowen's action of bringing the geomancer here.Wei Yuewu's eyes darted slightly, and she hid the mockery in her eyes. Madam Dowager was really selfish. Was she so certain that someone had attempted to harm her? However,
The geomancer recognized the letter. It was clearly his handwriting on the letter! He wrote the letter to that woman, who was said to be a disfavored concubine in the second branch.In fact, she was among the dozen or so concubines who were sent over to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, and she was the most unremarkable one.The geomancer had his reason to take a fancy to her. She was an unpopular concubine who had been placed in that courtyard since she was sent to the mansion. She didn't even get to meet Second Master.Even if Second Master wanted to have fun with these concubines in the future, there would naturally be more beauties there that were more outstanding than her.Even if he took such an unremarkable woman away with him, it wouldn't make a difference. The geomancer had seen too many dramas in these big and prominent families. He presumed that such an unpopular concubine was even more insignificant than a maid wh
"A-Actually, there is nothing wrong with Marquise Hua Yang's courtyard!" The geomancer wanted to clear his name and couldn't be bothered with anything else. "I said what I said because I was greedy and wanted for more money! In fact, Marquise Hua Yang's courtyard is fine, and she was not a bad omen! Everything that happened in the mansion has nothing to do with her!""What?" Madam Dowager stood up in rage. "Are you saying that you were lying?!""Please forgive me, Madam Dowager. I just wanted to make more money, but I didn't expect it to turn up this way. I'm greedy, but I also cherish my life. Madam Dowager, Lord Marquis, please forgive me." The geomancer kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.No matter how much money he made, he had to be alive to enjoy his wealth. If the letter leaked out to the public, Concubine Yang and either one of the four heirs-apparent would not let him go in order to restore their reputations. The geomancer kne
"Sixth Young Lady." Concubine Dong respectfully stood still and lowered her head."Concubine Dong, do you really have nothing to do with Nanny Dong's matter?" Wei Yuewu looked at Concubine Dong with a determined expression. She looked petite and small in front of Concubine Dong, who was much taller than her, but she stood so firmly and upright that no one dared to look down on her.Nanny Hong, who sent Wei Luowen out on behalf of Madam Dowager, could not help but look a little worried as she stood in the corridor and quietly looked at Wei Yuewu.Concubine Dong's expression changed greatly. She never thought that Wei Yuewu would say such words in front of Wei Luowen. Her hands involuntarily trembled in her sleeves."Sixth Young Lady, I never dare to show any disrespect to Marquise!" Concubine Dong gritted her teeth and blurted despite her dismay.She could sense Wei Luowen's cold gaze from the side.
Zhaoyi Tu entering the palace was an accident, an accident that no one could resist!It was because the Emperor fell in love with Zhaoyi Tu at first sight. Although he had already had Empress Tu, he insisted on taking Zhaoyi Tu in as his concubine.In the nationwide selection, Grand Preceptor Tu Mansion sent two daughters into the palace, but in the end, no one had expected that both daughters were selected. For a time, the reputation of the Tu Family's daughters became extremely famous in the capital.The one who was more dignified became the Empress, while the fragile one was conferred with the title Zhaoyi.Two sisters from the same family had thus become the Empress and Zhaoyi in the palace.In order to marry Zhaoyi Tu, the Emperor fought against all objections. In the end, he managed to persuade everyone to agree with his decision. Others did not know about the secret operation of this matter, but Madam Dow
Wen Tianyao casually flipped through a few paintings. When he came to the last painting, his gaze fell on it, and he froze. First of all, he knew that this was definitely not the work of his third brother. The strength of the strokes in this painting looked much weaker.At the first glance, he could tell that it was the work of a woman.When he looked closer, he found that the woman in the portrait looked somewhat familiar. The image of a woman immediately appeared in his memory, and it became clearer.When he looked at the signature below, he saw that it was actually Marquise Hua Yang.Marquise Hua Yang? Wen Tianyao felt as if his heart had been stabbed, and he felt a slight pain. So this was Marquise Hua Yang?She looked exactly like the image he stored in his memory. He curled his lips into a bitter smile. No one would have thought that the Crown Prince had never met the dignified Marquis Hua Yang's wife.
"I don't know either. Anyway, Father Emperor agreed, and I don't understand why. Marquis Hua Yang is now considered to be in his prime. Moreover, he doesn't even have a son. It's impossible for him to..." Wen Tianyao paused at this point, but Third Prince understood his meaning perfectly.As members of the royal family, they understood the consequences of a subordinate whose achievements were so great that he intimidated the Emperor.There were two powerful officials in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang who held important positions in the administrative and military divisions. Their strength and power had long surpassed that of ordinary aristocratic families. The Emperor wouldn't be able to trust them to such an extent if it weren't for the fact that Wei Luowen did not have a son.He had two daughters, but they wouldn't be much of a threat to the authority, so no matter how one looked at it, Marquis Hua Yang would not betray the Emperor.
"What is this?" Wei Luowen's eyes jumped as he stared at the medicine bottle in Wei Yuewu's hand in shock. He felt a lump in his throat, and there was an indescribable feeling of suffocation!The slightly throbbing yellowish light was very faint. Even he, who was familiar with it, would have almost been unable to identify had it not been for the sunlight that coincidentally shone into the room..."I found it here. Did Mother take the medicine in it back then?" Wei Yuewu loosened her grip slightly and slowly showed Wei Luowen the bottle. The small bottle seemed to have a weight of one thousand kilograms as the weight suppressed Wei Yuewu so much that she could not breathe."The medicine bottle..." Wei Luowen's expression changed. He reached out and took the medicine bottle from Wei Yuewu's hand. After seeing it clearly, his fingers trembled slightly. Even if he wanted to hide the shock in his eyes, he could not...Although sh
