Chapter 70

Dongfang Yu extinguished the incense and ordered Du Qi to open the window to disperse the fragrance in the room.

After about a stick of incense, the remaining fragrance in the house is gone.

Dongfang Yu added lychee charcoal to the bottom of the incense burner, put the incense balls into the furnace, and baked them over charcoal fire. The incense balls condensed into shredded tobacco, which rose up curlingly. The strange thing is that the shredded tobacco was light yellow and condensed into a bunch, which did not gather together. Scattered, but full of fragrance.

Even though he is well-informed, he has never seen such a strange fragrance.

Dongfang Yu held a scroll in his hand.

But Du Qi found that Shizi's mind was not completely on the scroll, but would turn his head to look at the incense burner beside him from time to time, and it took a long time before the scroll turned a page.

Although the Eldest Princess was assassinated and injured, although she didn't say anything, she already knew everything that should be known.

"Empress," Jing Yu quietly walked into the tent, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Eldest Princess has accepted your gift."

Empress Lin took the teacup: "How is she?"

"The maidservant didn't see the eldest princess. Miss Pearl said that the eldest princess was frightened and would have to raise her for a while, but the others refused to say more." Jing Yu told the story in detail.

"It's probably all right." Empress Lin took a sip of her tea, feeling that the tea was tasteless.

If you kill a tiger, you will have endless troubles.

In order to assassinate Jiang Fuguang, Duke Cheng'en's mansion used one. It was originally intended to deal with Taiwei's mansion. It had buried chess pieces for decades, and nine top dead men who had been trained for many years.

It was a near failure.

"Empress Empress..." Jing Yu hesitated to speak.

Empress Lin glanced at her: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"When I went to the eldest princess, I saw Du Qi, the eldest follower of Dongfang Shizi, coming out of the eldest princess' tent." Jing Yu felt a little uneasy.

"What did you say?!" Empress Lin couldn't even drink her tea anymore, "How could Dongfang Yu send someone to Jiang Fuguang's place? Could it be that he..."

After Dongfang Yu came to Beijing, His Majesty summoned him many times, Sima Zhao's heart was well known to all passers-by.

Hunting in the Western Mountains, His Majesty often brought Dongfang Yu with him.

She ordered people to pay attention to Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu was very flattered by His Majesty's 'love', and presented a box of top-quality ambergris, expressing his gratitude to the 'Emperor's Enormous Grace'.

But the 'hint' to His Majesty was pretending to be deaf and dumb. On the hunting ground, he didn't have much contact with Jiang Fuguang, and they were just acquaintances with nodding.

The Marquis of Donghai didn't want to climb up to Princess Chang.

She didn't care at all.

Anyway, Jiang Fuguang died, and this marriage would not be possible, but he never expected that Dongfang Yu would show courtesy to Jiang Fuguang instead after the assassination failed.

Jing Yu felt even more uneasy: "Every family has to send things to the eldest princess. If you want to come to Dongfang Shizi, you only follow the usual etiquette. It's because the slaves didn't figure it out."

"What do you know?" Empress Lin felt a little anxious, "Which family is not a good person. I am the Queen of the Central Palace, and everyone must follow the example of the Central Palace. The assassination of the eldest princess is a big matter. Your Majesty did not say anything. Habayashi Guard is still arresting people in the camp, who dares to act rashly?"

Jing Yu lowered his head.

"Before I donated gifts, who would dare to send them to the front of my palace? Dongfang Yugui is the son of the old Xun, and etiquette is something that has been nurtured by his ancestors for generations. He will not understand this truth? He will send gifts to me. Going to the front of the palace, is it still normal?"

Jing Yu understood this, and that's why she felt something was wrong.

"That's right, why did I forget?" Empress Lin sneered, her dignified and majestic face showing a little coldness, "Jiang Fuguang is just like her fox-meinian, with a stunning appearance, who is used to seducing men. Didn't Qi Simu just lean on that face back then, making His Majesty haunted by dreams and thoughts when he was still in the mansion."

Poor Concubine He, always thought that she was the most favored, and from love to hatred, until she died, she thought that she was Qi Simu's substitute, and she hated her until she died.

As everyone knows, in His Majesty's heart, there is no one who can replace Qi Simu.

The so-called 'similar eyebrows and eyes' is just suspicious. When everyone thinks that she looks like Qi Simu, she will also think that she looks like Qi Simu over time.

"He's a man, and he can't escape the evil of beauty, he's born with charm." Empress Lin smiled and turned cold, "Aside from the interests behind Dengzhou, in the end, Dongfang Yu is just a man."

be captivated by beauty,
will be confused by the hue,
It was so ordinary, it was not difficult to explain Dongfang Yu's thoughts.

Jing Yu suddenly held her breath, not daring to catch her breath.

"The son of Dongfang will stay in Beijing for a period of time." Empress Lin stabilized her mood and her voice returned to calm, "Send the news to Cheng Engong."

Jing Yu bowed his head and said yes.

"By the way," thinking that the camp is still under martial law, it would be wrong to go to see Cheng Engong privately, "Cheng Engong has a headache, and His Majesty rewarded Cheng Engong with the benzoin offered by the Northern Dynasty. Just say, the eldest princess is happy." , entrusted by my palace, I took benzoin and gave it to the eldest princess to help her rest and recuperate."

Benzoin is the same as ambergris, and it is the first rank in the list of incense.

Because it is produced in overseas countries, it is even rarer than ambergris, Jiang Fuguang must be rare, but this excuse is also suitable.

Jing Yu went to see Cheng Engong.

Cheng Engong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and after listening to Jing Yu's words, he ordered his attendants: "Fu'an, take the benzoin that His Majesty rewarded you to Jing Yu and return."

Fuan bowed his head and said yes.

Looking at the pattering rain outside the window, Cheng Engong's heart was as heavy as the dark sky.

Each of the nine dead men is one in a million, and they are also the most mysterious and unpredictable power in his hands.

But the whole army was wiped out, and none of them came back.

Fu'an took benzoin and ordered someone to send Jingyu out.

"Dongfang Yu's attitude is not clear, let's wait and see for now. It's not appropriate to make any more troubles at this time." Cheng Engong turned around, "Zhao Jian's side has been dealt with?"

Fuan lowered his head: "Zhao Jian has always been trained by the ministries of the Nanyue Kingdom. He himself thought that he was a spy of the Nanyue Kingdom. He didn't know that he had been in contact with the Cheng'en government all along, so he couldn't stand the torture. And I won't get involved with Duke Cheng'en's mansion."

In order to protect Zhao Jian's identity from being exposed, Duke Cheng'en's government did not contact him many times.

Cheng Engong was completely relieved, but said: "It's a pity, such a good chess piece was originally intended to be kept to deal with the Taiwei Mansion, but it was folded in like this."

The secret work of the Nanyue Kingdom colluded with the Taiwei Mansion.

What a great idea.

It's a pity, in order to deal with the envoy's killing from the Northern Dynasty, which would have a huge impact on Duke Cheng'en's mansion, this chess piece could only be discarded. After years of painstaking planning, it was destroyed overnight.

Originally, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but now that Jiang Fuguang is not dead, this plan is only half successful.
