Li Hongyuan opened the box. There were three things inside, but they probably didn't count as …
There was a letter, which was most likely written by Clan Leader Pei. There was also a yellowed and coarse piece of paper, which was obviously an ancient piece of paper. At the bottom was a jade pendant about half the size of a palm. It had a dragon and phoenix pattern, and the jade itself was full of water. The value of the jade itself was extraordinary. Generally speaking, the dragon and phoenix type of jade were meant to make friends. Normally, they wouldn't give it away casually. Li Hongyuan knew this layer of meaning. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be interested in this thing, but now he was thoughtfully playing with the jade pendant.
Jingwan put down the scissors and walked to his side. "Is there anything special about this jade pendant?"
"The pattern is very special." Li Hongyuan casually handed the jade pendant to Jingwan.
Jingwan was baffled. The pattern was special? Was the Living King of Hell the kind of person who would pay attention to such things? She looked at the jade pendant over and over again. The dragon and phoenix pattern was also in all kinds of shapes and forms. Whether it was the carving or the embroidery, they were all exquisite and beautiful. Jingwan really couldn't see what was special about this jade pendant.
Jingwan still couldn't see through it. Li Hongyuan casually handed the letter to her, then took the jade pendant back from Jingwan's hand and threw it to the side. "There's nothing special about the jade pendant. Princess, take a look at this. "To be honest, the contents of the letter made him want to laugh.
Jingwan took it and quickly skimmed through it. No matter whether it was her expression or her eyes, there was no change. She just picked up the ancient piece of paper. "Ageless Pill? At most, it has some effect of slowing down aging. Isn't it a little exaggerated to give it such a name? " This prescription, according to the letter, was a small token of appreciation from Clan Leader Pei. As for the jade pendant, it was a keepsake of the Clan Leader Pei. It was passed down from the ancestors and was very important to the Clan Leader Pei. Of course, the letter also promised Li Hongyuan to keep the daughter of the Pei family by his side. Not only would there be a generous dowry, but they would also help him one hundred percent.
Although the Pei family seemed to be on the verge of collapse, it was still far from that stage. In the past hundred years, those who had kept the Pei family standing were not only in-laws, but also those famous scholars. They had students all over the world, and under the background of the relationship between master and disciple was equivalent to the relationship between father and son, these great scholars and famous scholars were the solid foundation of the Pei family. There were definitely many of these people who were officials. Just think about it, Jingwan's granduncle alone had considerable influence, and the Pei family now had five great scholars and three famous scholars. When these people were put together, it was definitely a shocking power. This was also the reason why the other aristocratic families didn't dare to act rashly.
Of course, the nature of these people should not be the same as Patriarch Pei. At the very least, Patriarch Pei was polite when facing them and had to hide his dirty thoughts well. Fortunately, these people were all virtuous and cherished their own reputation. Their character was actually not bad. If they were all like Patriarch Pei, the Pei family would be able to set off a storm of blood. But on the other hand, if their thoughts were the same as Patriarch Pei's, how could they be famous all over the world?
"Ageless Pill?" Gong Jiu had just arrived. When he heard Jingwan's words, even as a secret guard, he was slightly moved, to the point that he spoke out rudely.
"Gong Jiu knows? Let's take a look at Old Madam first, then we'll talk about this. "Jingwan naturally wouldn't forget the important matter.
"Yes." Gong Jiu took the pulse of Patriarch Pei's wife and examined her carefully. "Replying to Princess, Old Madam's health isn't good. She has quite a few minor illnesses and has accumulated depression in her heart for many years. Usually, it doesn't show, but when provoked, it will erupt. Just now, she was too agitated, and with some negative emotions, she couldn't take it for a while. Her lungs are showing signs of weakening rapidly. If she isn't treated in time, she will need to prepare for her funeral." Gong Jiu's voice was flat as he spoke.
Jingwan frowned slightly. To be honest, this was not the result she wanted to see. Even if someone had to die, it would be that old thing who died first. "Use medicine."
"This subordinate has a type of heart protection pill. It's the best medicine that can be used at the moment. It can temporarily stabilize her condition, then we can slowly treat her."
"Is there a ready-made medicine?"
"Yes."
"Go and get it. As for whether to use it or not, it's up to Old Madam."
"Yes." Gong Jiu left. What he had was not only ordinary medicine, but also a lot of poisons. Under normal circumstances, he would not let people touch it.
Patriarch Pei's wife was naturally not ungrateful. Her own great-granddaughter was acting like this. She, who had nothing to do with her, put her life first. How could she just be cold-hearted? "Thank you, Princess." She originally just wanted to see her grandson. Now that she had seen him, although he did not recognize her and she felt regretful, this was enough. In the future, she would not care about the Pei family's mess, and she would not care about the man who had been her husband for decades.
"Old Madam, you're too polite. I can't let anything happen to you here." This was half the reason.
Pei Xiuying looked away slightly, and her body trembled slightly. Obviously, she was too ashamed to face her great-grandmother at this time.
Gong Jiu left quickly and came back quickly. A porcelain bottle was placed on the table.
It was Patriarch Pei's wife's business whether to use the medicine or not. At this time, Old Madam naturally did not argue. She asked Gong Jiu about the dosage and directly took it. Although, ever since she married into the Pei family, she had never taken medicine from a doctor other than the Pei family.
She turned her attention back to the Immortal Pill. "The Immortal Pill is true, but as Princess said, the medicine is not that magical. However, it should be a sacred medicine in terms of beauty. Six hundred years ago, in the Chu Dynasty, there was a concubine who took the Immortal Pill all year round. She was in her sixties, but when she died, she looked less than forty years old." Gong Jiu said.
"That legendary Concubine Xiang?" Jingwan asked.
"Yes. Later, the prescription was lost. This subordinate once saw the incomplete prescription in Master's place. In the previous dynasty, it was said that the Immortal Pill appeared again, but it is not known whether it is true or not. This Immortal Pill seems to be related to the Pei family. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Pei family has the prescription of the Immortal Pill. " Speaking of which, Gong Jiu knew these things because of his master. Although he was also an orphan, he was slightly different from others. Before he was trained as a secret guard, his medical and poison skills were already very good.
"Then take a look." Jingwan handed the prescription to him.
Gong Jiu respectfully took two steps forward, took it, and quickly looked it over. "Most of the herbs are consistent with what is seen in the incomplete prescription."
"This thing, does Princess want it?" Li Hongyuan asked slowly. "If you want it, then let Gong Jiu try to make it."
"Birth, old age, illness, and death are normal for people. Moreover, all medicines have side effects. It is a sacred medicine for beauty. Who knows if it will have side effects in other areas. Why would I want it?" Fitness, reasonable diet, and maintaining a good attitude were the best ways to nourish one's body. "If the Pei family really has the prescription and there are no side effects, why didn't the Pei family use it?" Jingwan's gaze fell on the Pei family head's wife.
If it was as Gong Jiu said, and this old woman had used it, she looked at most in her early forties, but her appearance was completely in line with her age.
"Now that Princess says it, this subordinate remembers that Master once studied the incomplete prescription of the Immortal Pill. Later, he did not continue to study it. It is said that it hindered children."
When Gong Jiu's words came out, the scene instantly froze, including Pei Yu Ying's face.
This kind of sacred medicine for beauty, after all, it only nourished the face and did not have the effect of nourishing the body. Nine out of ten, it was used by women. If it was given to Jin Qinwang, it was obvious who he would give it to. Under normal circumstances, there was probably no woman who could refuse it. The premise was that they did not know about the side effects. Pei Yu Ying only had three words in her heart: Impossible.
Saying that Pei family head did not know about the side effects? That was absolutely impossible. Since he dared to take it out so blatantly, it meant that he would not be aware of it in a short time.
Li Hongyuan looked at the people of Pei family. His eyes seemed to contain ice and poison. His aura was completely released, full of terrifying hostility, "Truly a good scheme!"
This was simply cutting off Jingwan's path. Even if she was deeply loved by Li Hongyuan, even if she sat firmly on the throne of Jin Qinwang Fei, she did not have a son. In the future, when Li Hongyuan ascended the throne, she would be a head shorter. After Li Hongyuan passed away, she still did not know what her end would be. This method was simply more vicious than directly pulling Jingwan down from her high horse.
Pei family head schemed against him, Li Hongyuan did not have any reaction. But when it came to scheming against Jingwan, it was a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths!
Pei family head's furen had just recovered after taking the medicine. Now, there were signs of another attack. Her eyes turned black and she almost fainted.
Pei Yu Ying could no longer hold it in. Her legs went soft and she knelt down, "Wang ye, Wang ye, please believe me, there is absolutely no such thing. Min nu has also eaten the Everlasting Pill, no … …" As if she had thought of something, Pei Yu Ying's face was as white as paper, without a trace of blood. Her lips trembled, "Impossible, impossible … …"
The other young ladies of Pei family also knelt down one after another. They were so frightened by Li Hongyuan that they trembled. They probably did not expect that the man who was so handsome that he was like a god, who treated Jin Qinwang Fei so gently like water, would be so frightening when he got angry. How could they still blush and have their hearts beat faster? They couldn't wait to get as far away as possible.
"What's impossible? No matter what, you were carefully cultivated by him. It's impossible that he would give you up just because he said so? "Li Hongyuan's stab was really ruthless.
Jingwan looked at Pei Yu Ying again with a bit of pity. If what Gong Jiu said was true, if Pei Yu Ying really ate the Everlasting Pill, then she was just a chess piece from start to finish. She fought on the front line and in the end, she really did become a wedding dress for the other young ladies of Pei family. After all, as long as Li Hongyuan accepted Pei Yu Ying, he would accept the second and third young ladies of Pei family. When she wrestled with Jingwan, the other young ladies of Pei family would remain silent behind this shield. If something happened to Jingwan, she could still be pushed out. The other reason why she didn't eat the Everlasting Pill was probably to let Jingwan eat it without worry. The Pei family's patriarch, that old thing, had calculated to this extent. In order to achieve his goal, he was really willing to give up anything.
However, it was a bad start. He met someone like Gong Jiu who knew the details of the Everlasting Pill. And even if there was no Gong Jiu, Jingwan's background was not ordinary and she had no interest in this kind of thing. No matter how careful the plan was, it was destined to fail.
Pei Yu Ying still refused to believe that her great grandfather would do this, but she was very clear in her heart that he was definitely someone who would do such a thing.
She was righteous and for the sake of her family and her own ambitions, but now she suddenly found that she was destined to be abandoned in the end? She had been proud for more than ten years and thought that she was the most outstanding, most beautiful, and most perfect woman. Even if someone compared her with her great grandaunt who was once recognized as the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, she didn't pay attention to her. After all, she was just a dead person who had long turned to dust. What was there to care about? And the things she was proud of were just things that others used.
At this moment, Pei Yu Ying's hatred was monstrous, but she also had a kind of helplessness. Everything about her was in the palm of her great grandfather's hand. He knew her temperament and everything. Instead of saying what she would do, it was better to say what he would guide her to do. She was like a marionette in his hands. The most tragic thing was that she didn't feel it at all. If she didn't expose it today, she might have been kept in the dark until she died. Perhaps, he also hid it from everyone.
"Gong Jiu, is this Everlasting Pill easy to make?"
"Replying to your highness, as long as there is no problem with the prescription, it is not difficult to make the pill." It was just that some of the ingredients were expensive, but the master probably didn't lack money at all.
"Good, how much can a person eat, they will not have any children. First, make a hundred people's portion and let them take it back. With the main Pei family as the center, the girls of marriageable age and the daughters of the Pei family who have not given birth to a boy will all have a portion for this prince to eat. In addition, the famous scholars of the Pei family, think of a way to ruin their reputation for this prince. Let their students be ashamed of them and be ashamed to admit that they are their disciples. Let them become street rats. "
"Yes."
Without a doubt, Li Hongyuan's move was directly aimed at the foundation of the Pei family. Moreover, it was hateful and vicious. As long as his designated goal was achieved, the Pei family would immediately collapse.
At this time, even the wife of the Pei family's patriarch had a deep fear of Li Hongyuan.
No matter how much the Pei family's patriarch schemed, when faced with someone like him who had no scruples and could do anything, he would only suffer a crushing defeat.
"Mu 'an, see the guests out."
Eunuch Mu trembled and hurriedly stood up to comply.
"Old Madam Pei, please go back and rest well. Take good care of the younger generation and servants. If there is any news that should not be spread from the Pei family's residence in Chuanzhou Prefecture, beware of a night attack. If it is just murder and arson, it is fine. I am afraid that someone will have evil thoughts after seeing the beautiful girls of the Pei family and ruin their reputation."
This threat was akin to grabbing the lifeline of these people.
