Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 164 Yan Ran Disappears
The next day, I dragged An Ning and arrived at Baixiangju impatiently. Today is for a reunion, so I naturally attended in my true colors.Unexpectedly, the store is extremely deserted today, there are only a few people in the store, and the shopkeeper and the staff are all frowning.

I felt a little uneasiness in my heart. They must have something to do with Yanran. I walked up to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, is your boss here today?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at me with fear.

I just remembered that I was disguised as a woman when I came that day, and it was normal for him not to recognize him, so I said bluntly: "I came here three days ago, that **** was dressed as a man, today I came for an appointment, I don't know where Yanran is?"

As soon as I finished speaking, shopkeeper Hu looked me up and down, his eyes changed, and he obviously recognized me. He said sullenly, "Miss Yanran is not here, please go back."

"What happened?" My voice trembled because of the eagerness.

"It's not something you can interfere with. You'd better not ask. If you insist on seeing Miss Yanran, just leave your address. If the girl comes back, I will send someone to notify you. If the girl can come back." Shopkeeper Hu said I was a bit bleak, I couldn't count on him, so I turned around and went to find the girl named Yumo that day.

There were not many people in the store and I found her with a cursory glance. She was looking at me in surprise, and I asked earnestly, "Miss, can you tell me what happened to Yanran?"

"Girl, don't meddle in it. Elder sister Yanran is so smart that she will definitely find a solution." Yu Mo's expression flickered as she spoke, and she could tell that she was lying to me.

"Lin Xi, get out of the way." After An Ning finished speaking, she called the guards to clear the place, closed the gate of Baixiangju, and said slowly while everyone was stunned: "She has entered the palace and hasn't come out yet?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. They were just stunned at first, but now their jaws dropped.

"This girl, you, how do you know?" Yu Mo stuttered because of excitement.

I secretly scolded myself that when I was in a hurry, my thoughts became disordered. Where else could people be so silent but in the palace?

"Don't worry about how I know, if you want to save her, tell the truth!" An Ning has an unquestionable aura, almost everyone has been shocked, I am very hurt, very hurt.

"Our store has been supplying spices to the palace since we opened, and every time Miss Yanran enters the palace by herself. Usually, she enters the palace every half a month, and it will never exceed three days, but this trip has been more than four days." Yu Mo said that tears welled up in his eyelashes, and it seemed that they would burst out of his eyes in the next moment.

"It's just that you don't have to be so panic. After all, it may be delayed by something, and you still have to hide it?" I frowned, and the volume of my speech became a little higher. When he said this, his whole body shook, and he couldn't help crying, but he wanted to speak but was drowned by crying.

Seeing that she was speechless, I turned around and looked at shopkeeper Hu, and said threateningly: "If you don't say it, you will only harm her. If you say it, don't say it!"

"Yesterday in the evening, I was a bit worried and went to the gate of the palace to inquire. The guards said that there is no such person! But these two guards were guarding the gate when I sent Miss Yanran in." Shopkeeper Hu said with a bit of a smile The look of prayer said: "You two girls, I know you are not easy, please find a way to save Miss Yanran, she is a good person, a very good person!"

Yan Ran must have been trapped by someone in the palace.The purchase of spices has always been a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Will someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have such a big self to bribe the guards?I looked at An Ning, and she shook her head.

I looked at Yu Mo and said, "Is Yan Ran different before entering the palace? You all think carefully, even if it's just a little bit."

Everyone in the room was lost in deep thought, and suddenly Yu Mo raised his head and said, "Sister Yanran didn't sleep well the night before she entered the palace, and when I went to the toilet, I vaguely saw that her room was still on."

It seems that Yan Ran must have noticed something, but it is just these news, still can't analyze anything.

Maybe I can think about it from a different angle. I looked at Yu Mo and said, "What kind of spices do you usually buy in the palace? Do you have a list?"

Yu Mo nodded hurriedly, took out a book from the cabinet, and handed it to me.

An Ning and I flipped through the pages one by one. Judging from the names of the spices, they are all used to help sleep, relieve fatigue, and relax the mood, and there is no difference.It's just that in the next few pages, there are some individual herbs and flower juices, and the categories of herbs and flower juices increase more and more. I looked at the guys and said, "Who of you knows how to make incense?"

"Me." A strange-looking man cowardly replied.

"Do you know what these spices are used for?" I asked, pointing to the notebook.

He took a closer look and said, "I have never used these flavors before, and I don't know about them. But the ylang-ylang and cistanche on this page are commonly used, and they are both soothing and sleep-promoting. It's just" the man's face Flushed and said: "These two medicines also have the effect that others don't know, that is aphrodisiac, but the two medicines are very weak, and usually have little effect. But these two kinds of drugs are treated well together, and the effect of aphrodisiac is comparable to Aphrodisiac!"

I heard the words and looked at the booklet carefully, the two medicines were separated very far, and there was a taste of trying to hide it.

"Since these two medicines are common, wouldn't they be able to achieve the effect of aphrodisiac by accidentally mixing them together?" I wondered.

"Otherwise, this reconciliation is not easy. I don't know the specific method. I just heard about it from my master."

The specific method is not important, at least now there are some clues, this matter must have something to do with the harem concubine, this method of fighting for favor is too low.

"I understand, you take care of the store, and you don't need to worry about the rest." I stroked the jade bracelet on my wrist, it was warm and cool, and it seemed a bit chilly in this rainy day, I looked at An Ning and said: "It's been a long time since we came out, it seems that we should go back."

This matter is simple and easy to say, but also difficult to say, the person behind the scenes must have put Yan Ran under house arrest, and if they startled the snake, they might be murderous in order to annihilate the evidence. Find out who's behind the scenes.

"We have never been here today, and you have never seen us, remember?" I glanced at the guys in the room, they seemed to understand but nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, girl. Although we can't help you, we won't slow you down." Shopkeeper Hu's eyes were clear, and I nodded at him.

After walking a certain distance, I glanced at the gray sky, and the good days passed so quickly.

"Being able to bribe the guards, is this person quite capable?" An Ning said tut-tsk.

"I just don't understand why you didn't transfer the two guards to other places, so that you won't be caught. After all, if you are a guard who is new to you, it's normal not to know. It's not difficult to do this." I said With a flash of inspiration in his mind, An Ning almost said in unison with me: "Not good!"
