Xia Luotong, who obviously did nothing, became a victim sent to Prince An's Mansion by the Minister of Rites, and was even poisoned and did not have much time to live...
Thinking of this, Zuo Xiyan suddenly felt a little distressed. He didn't know why he, who had always been cold and indifferent, would have such emotions for a woman, but now he actually showed up.
Thinking that even though she was in such a situation and even knew that she was poisoned, she could still show such a warm smile, Zuo Xiyan couldn't help but admire her.
Suddenly, I wanted to see her, and I wanted to see her gleaming smile. I didn't know how she was doing now. Her body was so weak, but she had become poisonous again in the past few days?
He suddenly became a little worried. The day before yesterday was the day when she was supposed to go to Yusheng Pavilion to pick up new clothes, but he didn't get any news of her going out all day...
Just as he was thinking about whether someone under his command should go find out the news, he saw his personal bodyguard Qingfeng walking in.
"Master, Princess An has just left the palace. It seems that she went to Baicao Hall." Qingfeng reported respectfully.
In fact, Qingfeng didn't understand why her master suddenly paid so much attention to Princess An during these days and made a lot of efforts to get them to inquire about information related to her.
"Call her Miss Atong." Zuo Xiyan frowned slightly. When he heard this title, he suddenly felt a little harsh and unhappy. He did not hesitate to ask his subordinates to change their words.
"Yes." Although Qingfeng was puzzled, he still agreed immediately.
"Let's go to Yusheng Pavilion." Zuo Xiyan nodded and left the study first.
When she came to Baicaotang again, Xia Luotong found the man who ran errands for her last time with ease. She directly handed him the list of medicines she needed and asked him to grab all the medicinal materials.
This Baicaotang is indeed the most famous pharmacy in the capital and has the most complete range of medicinal materials. She was very satisfied with her last visit. This time she finally had a little more money and immediately came to replenish a batch of inventory.
As someone who is good at poisoning, she was known as the Poison Fairy with Ghost Hands in her previous life. How could she not have ten or eight kinds of poisons on her body? Wouldn't that be too much for her reputation?
Moreover, now that she was alone in the Zhou Dynasty, not only did the people in the palace hate her, but even her parents' family, the Minister of Etiquette, wanted to persecute her. Even for self-protection, she had to make preparations as soon as possible.
What's more, she is a person who can't stand anger. Anyone who dared to provoke her in the past must be prepared to accept her "poison for poison"!
The last time she came to Baicaotang to get medicine, she bought some medicinal materials and prepared several simple self-defense medicines. However, the power was too weak, so a small punishment was okay. But if she really encountered someone who didn't care, it would not be good. Made it.
She took a lot of medicine this time, and many of them were poisonous. Although the waiter was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. Besides, he could earn a lot of commission for such a big order, so he wrapped it up quickly. The medicine was given to Zhuxuan.
After watching Xia Luotong and Zhuxuan leave Baicaotang, the waiter's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately turned to the back hall to find the shopkeeper, and reported the situation just now and the handwritten version of the list.
Although the shopkeeper of Baicaotang is not a doctor, he does understand pharmacology. He was slightly shocked when he suddenly saw someone buying so many types of poisons, and there were many medicinal materials that did not appear to be poisons but had conflicting properties. After a moment of silence, she immediately left Baicaotang through the back door and quietly disappeared into the crowded street.
After Xia Luotong left Baicaotang, he did not go to Yusheng Pavilion immediately. Instead, he went to a popular teahouse nearby and sat down to have tea in a seat on the second floor, listening to the tea surrounding him with relish. Guests chatting.
After going out to the teahouse to inquire about information last time, she now likes this method. Listening to the discussions of the teahouse guests around her helps her collect intelligence and gain a better understanding of the Zhou Dynasty. Although there are There are many rumors and misinformation, but as long as you carefully distinguish the details, you can still gain a lot of information.
"Master, you bought so many medicinal materials at one time in Baicaotang, and many of them are toxic. Is it really okay? Why don't we buy them from different stores?" Zhuxuan asked quietly with some confusion.
When Xia Luotong is free these days, he will teach her how to identify some herbs. For this reason, Xia Luotong also bought several herb-related atlases in Baimei Curie for her to read. Now she can recognize many of them. Medicinal materials.
"It doesn't matter. Rather than letting multiple pharmacies notice me at the same time, it's better to just buy from this one. At least it will only attract the attention of his family." Xia Luotong was open-minded, "Although those medicinal materials are toxic, But the toxicity is low, and the medicine cannot even kill people, so the impact is not big. Even if someone does investigate, it will be found in Prince An's Mansion and the Minister of Rites' Mansion. What can I, an abandoned girl from a remote town, know? ?”
She sneered, not caring at all that she was causing trouble. On the one hand, she wanted to kill her natal family, and on the other hand, the palace regarded her life as nothing, but she had no burden in her heart.
Besides, she never thought that she was a good person, otherwise how could she get such a title?
But what she didn't tell Zhuxuan was that although the medicinal materials she bought didn't look very toxic at first glance, and there were even many seemingly unrelated medicinal materials among them, after her preparation, it wasn't that simple!
While the two masters and servants were talking, suddenly the discussion from the next table attracted Xia Luotong's attention. She quickly signaled Zhuxuan to be quiet and began to "eavesdrop" seriously.
"... Prince An is really unlucky to have married such a woman who came out of nowhere. I heard that not only did she come from a remote town, but she was also extremely ugly, had a vulgar personality, and exuded... It stinks!" A tea guest at a certain table was chatting with his companions, with sympathy in his tone.
"Oh my god!? So scary? Isn't Princess An the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites? How could she be like this? Isn't the lady of the Minister of Rites always known for her beauty? She is quite famous in our capital. Yes?"
"What! You don't know about such a big thing? The Minister of Etiquette, Mr. Xia, is so wicked. On the day of the wedding, he suddenly changed the person. He said that the eldest daughter was someone else. He was the one who was there. Before he entered the official career, the daughter of his first wife in his hometown said that she was his eldest daughter!"
"Can it still be like this? Isn't this just a joke? This is a marriage gifted by the emperor, how can it be such a child's play?"
"Who says it's not the case! I don't know what these big shots were thinking. In the end, Mr. Xia just fined his salary and was reprimanded, but Prince An, the hero of the Zhou Dynasty, suffered the disadvantage of being dumb and married It would be so miserable for an ugly woman to become a princess!"
"Isn't this the worst thing?" A tea guest at the next table heard their conversation and couldn't help but turned around and said, "Didn't you hear? Prince An already has a sweetheart! It turns out that he has a sweetheart! When I returned to the capital, I planned to propose marriage, but before I even entered the capital, the emperor issued an imperial edict granting marriage. This time, I was really beaten!"
