Su Qianmian had just seen the two boxes at the palace gate: "Are those two boxes yours?"
Ye Xingchen nodded: "Yes, the Queen Mother gave me some medicinal herbs as a reward. I can't carry them away by myself, so I'm sorry to bother you."
"Miss Ye, you're welcome." After Su Qianmian said this, he called the coachman to help lift the box onto the carriage.
Ye Xingchen also got in. The carriage was not very big, and with two boxes in it, two people could barely sit in it, but it was a bit crowded.
[Mr. Su's salary should not be much. ]
[This carriage is so small, he must be a good official, not corrupt.]
[Luckily I met him today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get these two big boxes back.]
[Don't mention it, Master Su's official uniform looks pretty good today. ]
[I wonder if he found out that Concubine Xuan was the one who ordered it? ]
Su Qianmian listened to her inner thoughts and the corner of his mouth twitched.
It is too one-sided to judge whether a person is corrupt just by looking at his carriage.
Only those who are truly greedy and wealthy will not show off.
"The poisoning was traced back to Concubine Xuan's confidant, Madam Liu. It was she who bribed people outside the palace and instructed the common people to plant the poison.
I have just reported this matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty ordered the execution of Nanny Liu, but Concubine Xuan said she was not aware of it.
And I really didn't find direct evidence to prove that Concubine Xuan was involved or instigated it, so she was not implicated." Su Qianmian told the truth.
"What a good move of sacrificing the rook to save the king. Concubine Xuan never shows up herself for anything and she gets away with it cleanly. How insidious." Ye Xingchen complained.
"That's true." Su Qianmian agreed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Su. You were able to find out that it was Concubine Xuan's confidants who did it. You are much more capable than I thought." Ye Xingchen praised.
Su Qianmian raised his eyebrows: "In Miss Ye's eyes, am I bad?"
Ye Xingchen's mouth twitched: "Of course not, it's just that most people don't dare to offend Concubine Xuan and Prince Mo. After all, they are the favorites of the emperor, so many people know that it was their mother and son who did it, but they shirk responsibility and can't find out, or just find a scapegoat.
Lord Su is not afraid of power and dares to touch the people around Concubine Xuan. It is indeed rare. Xingchen admires him. "
Su Qianmian's lips curled slightly: "I am only dealing with the matter, not the person. No matter who did something wrong, they should be punished. It is an honor for me to be praised by Miss Ye."
"Master Su, you are too polite. From my observation, you will be in danger today. I will give you an amulet as a thank you for giving me a ride." Ye Xingchen said as he took out a yellow amulet from his pocket and handed it over.
Su Qianmian, who had always been the last to believe in supernatural powers, did not refuse at this moment. He stretched out his slender white fingers and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Lord Su. It's a blessing for the people of Cangyue Country to have a good official like you." Ye Xingchen replied.
"Miss Ye, you are too kind." Su Qianmian replied.
While the two were talking, the carriage arrived at the Ye Mansion.
"Sir, we've arrived at the Ye Mansion." the coachman shouted.
"Thank you, Mr. Su. I'll be leaving first." Ye Xingchen said as he got off the carriage and quickly asked the servant at the door to move his things.
The servant took the box down, and Su Qianmian's carriage left.
Ye Xiaosha just came back and saw the carriage going away: "Sister, who is in the carriage? It doesn't look like the Regent's carriage."
"It was Su Qianmian's carriage. The Queen Mother rewarded me with medicinal herbs, two large boxes. I couldn't carry them back, so I took his carriage back." Ye Xingchen explained.
"I see. By the way, sister, when can you sell the talisman? My friends are all looking forward to it." Ye Xiaosha urged.
"Three days later. Send someone to spread the news now and start selling it in three days." Ye Xingchen replied.
"Okay."
Ye Xingchen had the herbs carried back to his house. Fu Lai was surprised when he saw them: "Master, how did you get so many herbs?"
"Those who are fleeing the palace, these are all precious medicinal herbs. Have you finished drawing the talismans I taught you?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Master, I have finished drawing on the yellow paper you gave me." Fulai immediately brought three large baskets of talisman paper.
Ye Xingchen was very satisfied and felt that he had found a treasure by accepting this disciple.
"Qingluo, come in with everyone. I will teach you how to fold talismans. Different talismans need to be folded into different shapes." Ye Xingchen gave a brief explanation.
Everyone immediately got busy. Qingluo asked curiously, "Miss, these are the talismans you want to sell. How much do they cost?"
"Of course it's a lot of money, and all of you who worked on it will get a share." Ye Xingchen replied.
"Miss, you are so generous. Now we can make money." Tang Yu was happy.
Everyone was even more motivated and quickly folded them up.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Ajiu, who was in the dark, went back quietly to report.
When Cang Boyi heard that Ye Xingchen went back in Su Qianmian's carriage, his face turned cold: "What did they talk about?"
"Reporting to the Regent, I was far away and couldn't hear it clearly, but it seemed that they said that Xuan Fei's confidant was caught and was the one who ordered the poisoning." Ajiu replied.
"Empress Xuan is so treacherous that she let her confidant be the scapegoat." Su Ruoan said angrily.
"She has been the favorite concubine in the harem for many years, so she must have some means." Zhan Bai agreed.
Cang Boyi glared at both of them coldly. Was he going to ask about Concubine Xuan or Ye Xingchen? These two blind and powerless guys couldn't tell the key points.
"Have someone prepare a carriage. From now on, whenever Xingchen comes to the palace, have the carriage stop at the gate of the palace to pick him up." Cang Boyi ordered coldly.
Ajiu shrank his neck: "Yes."
Su Ruoan saw that the Regent was unhappy: "Regent, it's just a ride in a carriage, it shouldn't be a big deal. After all, how can Su Qianmian compare to you? Miss Ye still likes you the most."
"That's more like it." The hostility between Cang Boyi's brows dissipated a little.
"Regent, should we make preparations for this year's Festival of Praying to the Gods?" Zhan Bai asked.
"Every year, His Majesty asks the Regent to offer sacrifices to the gods under the pretext of the prince being invited to the festival. He simply wants to harm our Regent." Su Ruoan snorted angrily.
"This year, just like in the past, prepare the pills and supplements. Don't tell Ye Xingchen about this. I don't want her to worry." Cang Boyi frowned.
"But Regent, maybe Miss Ye can help you." Su Ruoan said.
"If your majesty targets her, it will only bring her trouble. I don't want her to get into trouble because of me." The regent replied.
"Yes." Everyone said nothing more and hurried to prepare.
As the night deepened, the entire capital city fell silent and the people closed their doors to rest.
At midnight, two men in black rushed straight to the Su Mansion.
The gatekeeper was yawning when he was caught off guard and his neck was stabbed by the man in black.
The men in black climbed over the wall and went straight to Su Qianmian's room. Seeing that the room was pitch black, one of the men in black took out a bamboo tube and blew smoke inside.
After waiting for a while, two people pushed the door open and stabbed the bedding on the bed with long swords in their hands.
