Chapter 231: Are you busy tonight?
The concubine is too concerned about her reputation and will not go to Shen Tingsi to ask for the file.
The Concubine Dowager also knew that Princess Lan Ning and Fang Yilin were close friends.
Therefore, asking Princess Deyang is the best choice.
Princess Deyang lived up to expectations and successfully made the concubine feel upset.
Next, you can proceed to the next step.
Xie Yingmian gave Yumo a piece of silver: "Well done, there is a reward. Invite Steward Yanqing."
"Thank you, Princess." Tamamo happily accepted it.
Yu Lingye had already greeted Yan Qing.
Yumozuo came to invite Yanqing, and he arrived as quickly as possible.
"Your Highness." Yan Qing bowed.
"Butler Yan, please take a seat." Xie Yingmian looked at Yan Qing, who looked refreshed and energetic, and asked with a smile, "How have you been feeling lately? How often have you had headaches?"
Yan Qing: "Much better."
"The attacks have gone from two or three times a day to once every two or three days. I rarely get a good rest, and I feel like I've been reborn."
Xie Yingmian took Yan Qing's pulse.
"Butler Yan, let me tell you the truth."
"If I use acupuncture and herbal medicine, I can only do so much. I can't cure your headache completely."
"If you want to eradicate the head disease, you may still need a craniotomy, which is quite risky. My advice is to do it this way if it hasn't worsened."
"If it gets worse, be prepared for a craniotomy."
Yan Qing thought so too.
The frequency of attacks every two or three days is not low, but it is much better than before.
He can accept it.
Yan Qing bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
Xie Yingmian waved her hand.
"Let's get down to business, Steward Yan. I need your help with something."
Yan Qing said, "Princess, please feel free to speak."
"As long as Yanqing can do it, Yanqing will do it."
Xie Yingmian: "Help me collect some evidence of the Fang family's illegal and criminal activities."
"Investigate quietly, it's best not to be discovered."
Yan Qing said, "The Fang family likes to bully others by taking advantage of their power. The late emperor left the Concubine with many capable people, and many things were settled by the Concubine's people. Even if the criminal facts were investigated, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to convict the Fang family."
Xie Yingmian certainly knew this.
What she wanted was not to convict the Fang family, but to make the Concubine Dowager have a clear understanding of her own complicity in the evil.
"Go ahead, I have other uses for you."
"It takes a lot of money to settle a crime, so let's make an account. The Fang family and the Concubine probably don't remember the exact amount, so you can exaggerate it a bit."
Yan Qing understood.
Xie Yingmian went to find Yu Lingye.
She briefly told him about her conversation with the Concubine Dowager and her invitation to Princess Deyang.
"We are going to take the next step." Xie Yingmian's eyes were bright.
Yu Lingye put down the letter in his hand and listened attentively.
Xie Yingmian: "You come and pretend to be sick."
"Of course, not feigning illness in the traditional sense."
"I'll prescribe you a medicine. After taking it, you'll have a high fever and your pulse will change. From the outside, it will be like a serious illness. The effect of the medicine will last about seven days."
Yu Lingye frowned: "I have to stay in bed for the next seven days?"
Xie Yingmian: "Of course not."
"Seven days is a gradual process."
“For example, on the first day, your mental state will not be good.”
"By the next day, your mental state will be even worse, your face will be pale, and you'll obviously be ill."
"On the third day, you will have a high fever and be in a depressed state..."
"By the seventh day, you'll be bedridden with a high fever and look desperately ill."
"Of course, this is just a superficial reaction, a pulse response. There's nothing abnormal about you."
"During these seven days, I will ask the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to take turns diagnosing your pulse."
Yu Lingye probably already knew Xie Yingmian's plan.
He did not agree immediately, his eyes were gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
Xie Yingmian didn't force it.
To put it bluntly, what the Fang family wants is Yu Lingye's money.
If Yu Lingye wanted to be the scapegoat, she wouldn't bother to stop him.
"When does it start?" Yu Lingye asked.
Xie Yingmian: "Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow morning, after you drink the medicine, your body will have some reactions, such as a bad complexion."
"Tomorrow when you go to pay your respects to the Concubine, don't be expressionless and say nothing like before. Just answer whatever the Concubine asks you."
Yu Lingye said he remembered it.
It's getting late.
It was very cold, the north wind was howling, and the sky and the earth were cracked.
"Do you have anything else to do tonight?" Yu Lingye asked.
Xie Yingmian raised an eyebrow, not understanding what Yu Lingye meant by that.
Ever since she knew that Yu Lingye could not absorb energy, she went back to her room and slept.
The main purpose was to make it easier for her to try to summon the empty stone space that had been away from home for many days. It would be inconvenient with Yu Lingye around.
Yu Lingye didn't say anything and didn't try to keep him.
The two of them have been getting along pretty well these days.
"Miss me?" Xie Yingmian felt a little regretful after saying this.
You're so mean again!
Yu Lingye is no longer the Yu Lingye of the past.
When she started talking dirty, Yu Lingye started to be shameless.
At most, she was just talking, but Yu Lingye was different. He really talked.
"I'm fine." Xie Yingmian changed the subject before things got out of control.
"Chinese New Year is coming soon." Yu Lingye said, "At the end of every year, Shen Tingsi will have a few days of free time."
Xie Yingmian understood.
Yu Lingye wanted to take advantage of Chen Tingsi's vacation to let her reattach Chen Tingsi's arm.
"How about asking Shen Tingsi to come over? There are some things I need to talk to him about in person."
Yu Lingye said, "He's very busy."
Xie Yingmian: "The weather is so cold, it's perfect for hot pot."
Yu Lingye paused for a moment and said, "No matter how busy you are, there is always time to eat."
Xie Yingmian is preparing to eat beef hotpot.
When he heard that they were going to eat hotpot, Fu Mo jumped around like a monkey and spun in circles with joy.
Fu Feng covered his eyes and pretended not to know him.
Prince Ling's Mansion has no shortage of food.
The copper pot quickly heated up, and the hot pot made with butter base was boiling.
The aroma of hot pot was floating over the entire Danyue Courtyard, and the fragrance was overbearing and unparalleled.
Soon, Xiaokui came over following the scent.
"I was wondering why the sparrows were chirping today. It turns out there's some happy news." Xiaokui's eyes sparkled.
He came up to Xie Yingmian with a smile:
"Sister, you told me last time that pig brain hotpot is delicious, so I brought some pig brains this time. They're fresh, and I just peeled them myself."
Xie Yingmian's eyes lit up.
Not many people can accept pig brains.
But, pig brain flower is really fragrant, especially paired with spicy hot pot.
"Tamamo, go get the plates."
The vein on Fu Mo's forehead jumped several times: "Wait a minute."
He looked at Xiaokui and asked, "Are you sure you brought pig brains?"
Xiao Kui tilted her neck: "Yeah."
"Why don't I believe you?" Fu Mo remembered that Xiao Kui brought meat last time and said it was from a death row prisoner. He thought this guy brought human flesh.
As it turned out, the sheep was called the death row prisoner.
Judging from Xiaokui's unconventional personality, pig brains may not necessarily be pig brains.
