Chapter 50 Poison

After a pause, she elaborated: "Five years ago, there was a counselor named Zuo Lu who was very famous. The emperor originally wanted to call him into Beijing as an official, but the reason was to get him under his nose so that he would not help him." What rebellious officials and thieves will commit rebellion. But Zuolu is indifferent, and would rather farm in the countryside than be an official. However, his reputation is spread by the people like a god who knows things like a god. The emperor was a little jealous of him, so he secretly sent Go and kill him."

She stopped here and looked at Xuanyuan Chen with a smile in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Chen suddenly said: "It is said that Zuo Luman's family was destroyed back then, and no one was left alive. Could it be that at that time Xuanyuan Yu secretly rescued him and asked him to change his name to Bai An?"

"The master of the pavilion is really smart." Zhao Yuanxiang boasted, and then said: "But Xuanyuan Yu is very smart, his people have been lurking outside, and only went in to rescue Zuo Lu when Zuo's family was almost dead. Zuo Lu's wife and daughter died. On the spot, only one youngest son was left alive, so he was naturally resentful, and at the same time, he was very grateful to Xuanyuan Yu who saved his and his son's lives."

Having said that, everything is clear enough.

Xuanyuan Yu made Bai An pretend to be Xuanyuan Yin's person, and Xuanyuan Yin arranged Bai An to be beside Xuanyuan Jing.

At that time, if Bai An gained Xuanyuan Jing's trust, and made several schemes to trap Xuanyuan Jing in, then Xuanyuan Yin would trust him even more.

Little do they know that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.

Xuanyuan Chen stared at Zhao Yuanxiang for a long time with his dark eyes, but didn't say a word.

The more Zhao Yuanxiang was watched by him, the more uncomfortable he became, and he was even more afraid that he would guess that he knew his true identity, so he could only lower his head and drink tea to cover it up.

"No matter where the second lady got the news, Qingyun Pavilion really doesn't know about this matter." Xuanyuan Chen said with a little smile: "However, this matter may not be enough to exchange a complete list, how about this, I can give you half of the list, and at the same time, these people will help you get things done, both openly and secretly."

half?
Zhao Yuanxiang instantly understood that this is indeed a safe and good way.

I haven't gained all his trust yet, but I can take it slowly in the future.The remaining half of the list will naturally be handed over to her when Xuanyuan Chen believes in her.

Apart from Qingsang and Du Ruo, she doesn't have a trustworthy helper at all, and Qingsang is just a little maid, even if she is loyal, she is of no great use.

Even if there are only half of Xuanyuanchen's people, it will be of great help to her.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Yuanxiang nodded and said, "Okay, deal."

Xuanyuan Chen stood up and said calmly: "I will give you the list tomorrow, and I hope the second lady will not let me down."

"Pavilion Master, go slowly." Zhao Yuanxiang stood up, blessed himself slightly, and gave a half-respect.

Xuanyuan Chen turned around and took two steps, looked up at the big hole above his head, then turned his head and said, "At the end, I will give you a gift for the second lady - you should exchange the charcoal burned in your house."

Zhao Yuanxiang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the carbon brazier, and was about to ask him the reason, but he heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the next moment, Xuanyuan Chen went out from the roof.

Zhao Yuanxiang looked at the big hole above, shook his head amusedly, opened the door and called Du Ruo in, and asked, "Your master said that the carbon in my house should be replaced, but what's wrong with the carbon?"

Last time Du Ruo could smell the poison in the rouge, so Zhao Yuanxiang asked her.

Du Ruo frowned, and squatted down in front of the carbon basin to take a closer look.

After watching for a while, she fanned the smoke with her hands to smell it again, and finally picked up a piece of carbon with tongs, walked over and threw it directly into the teacup.

With a sound of "here", the charcoal fire was extinguished immediately, and an unpleasant smell came out.

Du Ruo turned her head, cupped her fists and said, "Miss, carbon is poisonous."
