Chapter 288: Tianxiang is poisoned
Yuan Man was drinking soup when Tian Xiang ran in, "Crown Princess, Princess Han Pei is at the door and said she wanted to come in and see you."
Yuan Man put down the spoon and said, "No, tell her I'm already asleep."
Tianxiang immediately ran out and looked at Hui Xiaopei in front of her and said, "County Lady, I just went in and saw that the Crown Princess has already gone to bed. It is not convenient for you to go in. Otherwise, please come back at another time."
Hui Xiaopei smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll come back later."
When she turned to leave, she suddenly sprained her ankle. Tianxiang quickly supported her and asked, "County Lady, are you okay?"
"Thank you, I'm fine." Hui Xiaopei walked away with a smile.
Tianxiang watched her leave the backyard and was about to go back to report, but she was stopped as soon as she reached the door.
"what happened?"
Yuan Shi stopped her and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes before serving the master."
"Why? I didn't go out." Tianxiang looked puzzled.
"Just be obedient and go quickly." Yuan Shi said and left.
Tianxiang stamped his feet and went back to wash and change clothes.
No one noticed that there were a few tiny insect eggs scattered where Tianxiang had stood before.
After listening to Yuan Shi's report, Yuan Man asked someone to take the clothes that Tianxiang had taken off for inspection.
Hui Chengyuan came back after changing his clothes and told Yuanman what happened.
Yuanman also told him what happened outside the door.
The two of them didn't say much when Yuan Jiu came in with a plate in his hand. "Master, this was taken from Tianxiang's clothes. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it."
Looking at the tiny insect eggs on the plate, Yuan Man felt disgusted again, "Take it away."
Yuanjiu immediately took the plate away.
Hui Chengyuan quickly took the dried sour fruit next to him and said, "Quick, squeeze it."
Yuan Man ate a piece of fragrant fruit and finally suppressed the nausea that was rising up in his heart. "It seems that her ultimate goal is really me."
Hui Chengyuan stroked her back and said, "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. You should have a good rest. Be good, I will take care of her affairs."
Yuan Man nodded. She didn’t want to worry about that, but when she got to this point, she couldn’t help but say it.
February came, but the weather showed no sign of improving. Although it didn't snow, it was still very cold and gloomy.
Yuan Man, however, was not afraid of the cold at all. "Hong Xiu, open the window to let some fresh air in. I'm not cold."
"Aman, you can't catch a cold." Hui Chengyuan walked out from the inner room.
Just as Yuan Man was about to say something, Yuan Shi came in, glanced at her, then leaned over and whispered in Hui Chengyuan's ear, "Your Highness, Tianxiang and a maid have been poisoned."
"The eggs must have fallen on Tianxiang when she was washing. The maid had no contact with her before, so we don't know how she got infected."
"Tianxiang's reaction was not the loss of smell, but the loss of hearing. The maid lost her sense of touch."
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows, "Why, I can't listen?"
Hui Chengyuan waved his hand to let Yuan Shi and Hong Xiu go out, then he felt the temperature of Yuan Man's hand and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't worry about it? If I tell you, you will definitely worry about it."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Yuan Man nodded, "Yes, then go and do your work. Someone is watching over me."
Hui Chengyuan didn't leave, but asked Yuanyi to deal with it.
In the evening, Qinglong came to the Prince's Mansion, and Hui Chengyuan went to the study.
"What's wrong? Is there any news about An Xianhe?"
The snowstorm in the north was resolved, but the issue of God’s Church was not, and is still fermenting.
Qinglong glanced at Yuan Er, "Yuan Er heard something before An Xianhe left half a month ago. After investigation, he found out that he was Hui Yingshang's illegitimate son."
"Prince Duan's illegitimate son?" Hui Chengyuan looked at him in surprise.
Qinglong nodded, "Prince Duan doesn't know about the existence of this illegitimate child, so it's normal that you don't know."
"What's even more surprising is that An Xianhe was born to An Xianming's sister, An Xianqin."
Hui Chengyuan was surprised. "How could An Xianqin and Prince Duan know each other? One is in Xiandong and the other is in Kyoto."
Yuan Er continued, "From what An Xianhe said, it seems that when An Xianqin secretly ran away from home, he met Prince Duan and fell in love with him at first sight."
"Originally, they thought that the two of them would be able to marry each other, but Prince Duan already had a wife at home, and she could only be a concubine. So she returned to Xiandong sadly, and gave birth to An Xianhe the next year."
"An Xianming only has this one sister, so he treats his nephew An Xianhe very well."
Hui Chengyuan's mind moved, "So, An Xianming only started to think about recovery after he knew An Xianhe's background."
"As long as An Xianhe can take the throne, it means that the An family will regain the imperial power."
No wonder there has been no trouble for a hundred years, and only now is the flag of recovery being raised.
"The Church of God was founded by the Wang An family of the Qin Dynasty?"
Qinglong took out a booklet and said, "My subordinates have also found out a lot about the Northern Divine Church. What's a little strange is that it seems that there is more than just An Xianhe behind this Divine Church."
"This is the information obtained by our subordinates who infiltrated the Church of God. There are a total of three Lords in the Church of God, one of whom is An Xianhe. However, he rarely shows up. In all this time, he has only appeared once in the Linxiao City branch and once in Qibei City."
"There is also a guy called Guijianchou. No one below has ever seen his true face. He always wears a mask, but I heard that he comes and goes without a trace."
"The last one is called Fu Yiyang. He has never shown his face and I have only heard his name."
After Hui Chengyuan carefully read the booklet, he said, "This Fu Yiyang doesn't seem to be a pseudonym. Let's search for it under this name and see if we can find anything."
"Have you found out how An Xianhe entered and left Kyoto?"
Yuan Er nodded, "There is a secret passage in a tavern in the north of the city that leads directly to the outside of the city. I haven't checked it yet for fear of alerting the enemy."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "We can't alert the enemy before we find out who the Ghost and Fu Yiyang are."
"Yuan Er, did the scent-eating insect find out anything?"
Yuan Er nodded, "I found out. The incense-eating insect is also called the soul-eating insect. It is a kind of insect cultivated in the southern cliff valley of Yun Country."
"It's also called the Soul Devouring Gu because it has another function. When it's still a larva, it can make a person lose their soul. As long as you hold the mother Gu in your hand, you can control that person and use him for your own purposes."
"This Soul Devouring Gu is considered a forbidden Gu in Qiaonan City and has long been lost."
Hui Chengyuan knocked on the table, frowning, "A very rare Du Ling flower and a long-lost soul-eating Gu, they really put a lot of thought into it."
"The larvae have now been planted in Tianxiang's body, but her reaction now is that she has lost her hearing."
Yuan Er said: "It is mentioned in the information that people will be controlled only after they gradually lose their six senses. The reason why they are called fragrance-eating insects is that the controlled people will emit a smell that is a bit like a bad smell, so they are also called fragrance-eating insects."
