Screams at night are the most terrifying. Plus, the two of them had done something wrong, so the scream frightened them. Yilin asked directly, "Did they get discovered?"
Chenyu stood up immediately and walked out with Yilin.
As soon as they pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall, they saw Xing'er running over here in a hurry. When she saw Chenyu, she didn't even bother to greet him. She said, "A body was found in the well in the small garden. Someone recognized it as Pei'er, who was by the side of the fourth young lady."
As she spoke, she looked at Yilin. She clearly remembered that the fourth young lady brought a maid with her when she came during the day.
Chenyu glared at Yilin, then asked Xing'er in a deep voice, "Who found it?"
"It was Lixiang," said Xing'er, "a clumsy maid who had just arrived at the beginning of winter and was in charge of cleaning the garden. I had already ordered someone to arrest her, but Lixiang was so frightened that she kept talking nonsense."
"Miss." Yilin was a little scared, "It's all because I didn't do my job properly. Please punish me, Miss."
"What's the point of saying this now!" Chenyu calmed down and said to Xing'er, "This matter must not be made public. Anyone who heard Lixiang's nonsense should be paid to keep their mouths shut." Then he said to Yilin, "Drive Lixiang out of the house early tomorrow morning. The farther the better, preferably out of the capital."
"Yes." Yilin nodded quickly in response.
"As for the body in the well..."
"Miss, let's fill up the well!" Xing'er suggested, "If we can't fill it up, just seal it up and say that the well is dry and we won't use it anymore from now on."
Yilin thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we fish out the body and bury it? Pei'er chased me all the way during the day and she accidentally fell into the well."
Xing'er was so smart that she understood that Yilin was trying to help her, so she nodded and said, "Yes, there was snow beside the well, which was very slippery. The well mouth was shallow, so it was normal to fall in. It's no big deal. She was just an ignorant girl. Miss, don't take it to heart."
Yilin felt that Xing'er was very considerate. Chenyu was short of help now, so she was often too busy to handle everything. Xing'er had served in the Jinyu Courtyard of the eldest lady before, and was very reliable.
So she gave Chenyu a look, and Chenyu immediately understood what she meant. Not to mention whether she was short of manpower, just because Xing'er had done all these things for her today, there were only two ways out for a girl like this, one was to beat her to death, and the other was to keep her for her own use.
She thought for a moment, looked at Xing'er and said solemnly, "You did a great job today. As a maid, you can serve the master sincerely. I am very satisfied. From now on, you should stay by my side. Let Yilin take you. You should learn from her. As long as you work hard, I will never let you down."
Xing Er was waiting for Chen Yu to say this, and immediately knelt down to her happily: "Don't worry, Miss, I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never betray you."
Chenyu nodded, "Very good."
Yilin quickly took the initiative to help her up and said to her, "Xing'er, from now on we are all the eldest lady's people. No matter what we do, we must consider the eldest lady, understand?"
"I know. I hope Sister Yilin will teach me more in the future." Xing'er was very sweet-mouthed and smart. As soon as Chenyu accepted her, she immediately thought about getting down to business. "I will go and ask people to fill the well now." After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
Yilin looked at the girl's background and said, "I hope she can be useful, so that the young lady can have more helpers around her."
Chenyu glared at Yilin and said, "How dare you say that! You are not good at doing things. If you do this again next time, I won't protect you."
"I know I was wrong." Yilin knelt down and said, "Please forgive me this time, young lady."
Chenyu sighed. Yilin was the most benefited person around her. She was reluctant to punish this girl. "Forget it." She reached out and helped Yilin up. When dealing with servants, you often have to use both kindness and severity, especially the closest people, because they know most of your secrets. "Go get some silver and go with Xing'er to comfort the people who saw the body. Remember, make sure they shut their mouths. Also, give more to those who filled the well, and give Xing'er more too. I'm counting on her to do a good job in the future."
"I know." Yilin thought, and added: "I will go to the well to burn some paper money later, so as not to worry about the peace."
"It's up to you." Chenyu didn't want to say anything more and turned back to the Buddhist temple.
At this time, in Tongsheng Pavilion, Feng Yuheng was also awake and practicing martial arts in the garden.
The more than one month she spent in the military camp allowed her to adjust her previous life's kung fu and daily routine to an excellent state. Not only did her physical fitness improve, but her hard qigong training also reached a higher level.
Huang Quan was practicing with her beside her. They sometimes adjusted their breathing and sometimes fought each other, which was quite enjoyable.
When they finally stopped, Feng Yuheng reminded Huang Quan: "You need to have someone pay more attention to the movements in Yulan Courtyard. Han's baby must be kept safe and not tampered with."
Huang Quan said with a sly smile: "Miss, do you want to see the excitement behind?"
She nodded, "Of course. The most lively thing is when the child is born. Feng Jinyuan's green hat must be fulfilled to look good. If he is killed by someone in such an unclear way, won't that make Han Shi more pitiful?"
"Okay." Huang Quan nodded. "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely have someone keep a close eye on it. By the way, last time young lady said that she wanted to recruit some more maids who know martial arts to come into the mansion. After thinking about it, apart from borrowing from the palace, I can only look for them in the martial arts world. But people in the martial arts world are always a little behind in terms of rules. Young lady, do you think you can ask the prince to pick a few in the mansion?"
Feng Yuheng suddenly thought of the female secret guards in Concubine Yun's palace, so he asked Huang Quan: "Where did Concubine Yun's people come from?"
Huang Quan said: "Those are cultivated since childhood, including me and Wangchuan. But learning Kung Fu is not something that can be done overnight. If Miss wants to do this, I am afraid it will be too late."
"I know." Feng Yuheng was somewhat helpless, "But I don't want to be seconded from the palace yet, what should I do?"
Huang Quan didn't know what to do, so the two of them sat in the garden with their chins in their hands, thinking. As they thought about it, Huang Quan finally remembered something - "I heard people say a few years ago that in slave trading places, you can occasionally buy some specially trained slaves. Some are trained to serve men, some are trained to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some are even taught martial arts since childhood. Such slaves are very expensive and are usually not sold to the public. You have to make a reservation by making a reservation with the slaves."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Why is it like buying vegetables?"
"It's just buying food." Huang Quan sighed, "How can slaves who are sent to humans get anything good? Humans don't even treat them as human beings. Take Qingyu for example. She used to be a lady from a wealthy family. So what if she fell into poverty? Her ability to calculate accounts was not discovered by humans, otherwise who knows how much higher the price she could have been sold for."
When Qingyu was mentioned, Feng Yuheng became interested. "It would be great if we could find a few more people like Qingyu. You should hurry up and pick some people who know kung fu. And you must find out their backgrounds clearly. Don't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of you."
Huang Quan nodded, "I remember. This time I will check all their ancestors. Only those who pass the test can be brought to the young lady."
"Yes." Feng Yuheng was a little happy to hear that she could find such a servant, but then she remembered something: "By the way, continue to inquire about the concubine's preferences. When you find out, find a way to reveal everything to Feng Fendai so that she can learn it as soon as possible."
"Why?" Huang Quan was puzzled. "Since the Fourth Miss has learned it, wouldn't the Fifth Prince treat her better?"
"What if the Fifth Prince treats her well? Imagine if her ice dance is used by the Emperor one day...
What will happen if you see it? "
Huang Quan's eyes lit up, "That will be exciting! The water is getting muddier and muddier. I believe it won't be long before all the princes' thoughts are blown away."
This was exactly what Feng Yuheng was planning. The Emperor teamed up with Xuan Tianming and her to put pressure on the Third Prince Xuan Tianye. On the one hand, they wanted to trick him back to the Northern Territory with his troops, and on the other hand, they wanted him to pay more attention to the First Prince and find him an opponent so that he wouldn't have to mess around. At the same time, she took the initiative to spread the word that Xuan Tianming's leg was incurable. The princes who were originally concerned about whether he could recover and ascend to the throne of the crown prince also completely gave up observing him, which freed up more space for Xuan Tianming to do what he should do.
It was not enough for the eldest prince and the third prince to fight each other. She had to make the water more muddy so that Xuan Tianming's limelight could be better covered. The fifth prince was the unlucky one who was dragged into the water. As for who would be the next one, she had to think about it carefully.
The next day, Feng Yuheng took Huang Quan to Baicaotang. She dressed in men's clothes and personally saw patients again as Le Wuyou.
Wang Lin hadn't seen Feng Yuheng for more than a month, and he was busy running around her all the time.
Feng Yuheng knew what he meant, and reluctantly let Huang Quan hand him the two boxes. "This time there are not only pills, but also some tablets. I have written down the efficacy, usage, and dosage. Remember, the pills are still the same price as before, and the price of tablets is ten times higher than that of pills."
"What?" Wang Lin was stunned. "Ten times? Boss, you..." He wanted to say, "Boss, are you crazy?" But he didn't dare to. "Isn't ten times too high? The price of pills is already very high now."
“So is the demand still outstripping the supply?”
Wang Lin nodded. "That's true. After the pills were invented, people with a bit of money no longer wanted to drink bitter medicine soup, so even if they were sold at a higher price, they would still be out of stock in the middle of the month."
"Don't worry about selling it!" Feng Yuheng told him, "Although the effect of this tablet is similar to that of the pill, it cures the disease faster. What the pill can cure in ten days, the tablet will take effect in two days. Ten times the price is not much more."
Wang Lin was still a little surprised, "What if no one buys it?"
"If no one buys it, just return it to me and I will sell it to the emperor."
Wang Lin almost passed out. His boss was so domineering!
"Then I'll take it and put it in the front first." Wang Lin said nothing more, took the box from Huang Quan's hand and went to work.
Huang Quan asked Feng Yuheng: "Miss, you said that now that we have pills and tablets, will the sales of previous decoctions and medicinal materials decrease?"
"How is that possible?" Feng Yuheng shook his head. "There are still only a few people who can afford a high price. What's more, some people are used to drinking herbal medicines, and it is difficult for them to accept new things. If you don't believe me, go to the counter and ask, have the sales of herbal medicines decreased?"
Huang Quan really went to ask, and when he came back he told Feng Yuheng: "Miss is right, the sales of medicinal materials are really not less than before."
As the two were talking, Wang Lin came over again and said to Feng Yuheng with a smile: "Boss, I have an idea and I would like to ask for your opinion."
