The Devious First-Daughter

Seeing Concubine Ya go in to take a bath, the thirty-year-old woman left the room.

"Aunt Xiang, where are you going at this time?" The eunuch guarding the gate saw Aunt Xiang come out, smiled and greeted her.

"I heard that there is a superb chrysanthemum outside our yard. I'll go and have a look first, so that I can answer when the imperial concubine asks about it." Aunt Xiang smiled faintly. She is the person next to Concubine Ya. He is in charge of the gardening of the flowers and plants in Concubine Ya's palace, and he has a good way of handling those flowers and plants, so the flowers in Concubine Ya's palace bloom more abundantly than other places, even the emperor praised it.

With this benefit, this Aunt Xiang's status in the palace is not ordinary, everyone respectfully calls her Aunt Xiang, this Aunt Xiang entered the palace with Concubine Ya, and it can be regarded as Concubine Ya's dowry , naturally Concubine Yagui's confidant, the eunuchs saw that she was going out at this time, so they smiled and stepped aside.

Aunt Xiang walked out of the courtyard and argued for a while, then walked to the left. The chrysanthemum was specially planted there by Hanshan Temple. Nothing to look at, the eunuch guarding the gate didn't understand, but Aunt Xiang knew it very well.

Walking along the path in front of the book of chrysanthemums, I didn’t even look at the half-closed chrysanthemums. Instead, I walked to the pavilion next to it. Under the faint moonlight, there was a simple and elegant beauty sitting in the pavilion. On the stool, a cup of tea was poured and drank slowly, the moonlight wind blew, blowing up the beautiful face of the woman, the delicate pale face with black jade-like eyes, adding a bit of loneliness in the night.

Aunt Xiang looked at Ning Xueyan under the moonlight in disbelief, her gaze was fixed on that white face with huge waves rolling in her eyes, the huge impact almost made her unable to believe her eyes for a moment, rubbing her eyes Rubbing his own eyes, he looked at the smiling girl in the pavilion again, and was so horrified that he couldn't even speak!

Those almost identical black jade eyes, although they are not very similar, have the same stunning face, but the one in front of me is too white to see her beauty at a glance, and the childish pair In her eyes, she almost thought that what she saw was that gorgeous, all-powerful woman back then...

Aunt Xiang's lips trembled twice, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, it wasn't her, it couldn't be her, when the fire started that day, she saw with her own eyes that she was thrown into the sea of ​​flames, the blazing flames burned her skirt, and the reflected The flower-like face is absolutely beautiful and beautiful, but it can't be hidden in the flames and smoke...

"Aunt Xiang?" Ning Xueyan stood up leisurely, the moonlight shone coldly on her little face, with a bit of confusion, and a pair of radiant eyes with a faint smile, calm and gentle, Wanru really met by chance, not when Concubine Yagui led Aunt Xiang past her, she flicked a note and landed on Aunt Xiang, and made an appointment to meet at this time.

Aunt Xiang, Concubine Yagui’s natal family came here as a dowry, and she went to see the Ming family privately with Concubine Yagui before, and seemed to want to leave Aunt Xiang to the Ming family, but Ming refused. Ning Xueyan didn’t know who Aunt Xiang was before, but now But Ning Xueyan knew about Aunt Xiang.

In the previous life, Ning Ziying's mother knew how to make some spices, and also knew how to use incense to make poison. She knew that when mixed together, it was an invisible incense that poisoned people, but her mother said that she was not a good person. I mentioned Aunt Xiang to Ning Ziying, saying that Aunt Xiang is a master perfumer, she knows all kinds of poisons mixed with fragrances, and she can mix them herself.

If there is such a person by his side, it will hardly be a problem to fight and drug in the backyard in the future.

The Ming family was poisoned to death. This kind of poison is actually not difficult, as long as you know a little bit, you will know, but the Ming family rejected the kindness of Concubine Yagui. Aunt kowtowed heavily to the Ming family a few times, guessing that Aunt Xiang might not have a normal relationship with the Ming family, so she made an appointment here as the daughter of the Ming family.

She needs someone to help her very much now. If she has a poison defense expert like Aunt Xiang by her side, she doesn't have to worry about Ling's attacking her. In some respects, she can even fight back. With her, she can be bolder. Revenge, that's why she took the risk to ask Aunt Xiang out.

Sure enough, that Aunt Xiang came here at the appointment.

"You...you are the daughter of Mrs. Ming, the fifth girl of the Huguohou Mansion?" Aunt Xiang finally controlled her emotions, calmed down, walked over slowly, and looked Ning Xueyan up and down carefully, her eyes were full of tears. Excited and confused, when she went last time, she only saw Ming Shi, and never saw Ning Xueyan.

"Exactly, Aunt Xiang, please sit down." Ning Xueyan smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and sat down on the stone bench leisurely first, picked up the teacup at hand and poured two cups, and pushed one cup to the opposite side.

"What is Fifth Miss looking for me for?" Aunt Xiang didn't sit down, but looked at Ning Xueyan warily, her eyes rolling deep.

"Aunt Xiang almost followed my mother before. I wonder if Aunt Xiang would like to follow me if I still have the chance now?" Seeing that she didn't sit down, Ning Xuexiang didn't let her go. You lightly tapped the teacup. , raised her full and moving eyes, casually stroked the blue hair on her face, and said straight to the point.

On that day, Concubine Yagui sent Aunt Xiang to Mingshi on purpose, but Mingshi decided not to take it for some reason!

"Fifth Miss wants me?" Aunt Xiang was stunned, she didn't expect Ning Xueyan to speak so directly with such a soft appearance.

"Yes, Aunt Xiang, how can I leave Concubine Yagui?" Ning Xueyan asked with a smile.

At that time, although she was hiding, she saw that Aunt Xiang was crying and leaving reluctantly, so she must have feelings for her mother.

"I can't leave Concubine Yagui!" Aunt Xiang flatly refused.

"Why? Didn't Aunt Xiang want to stay by my mother's side before?" Ning Xueyan didn't feel so surprised, Aunt Xiang would never come to her side easily.

"That's just my wish. Mrs. Ming won't let me stay by her side." Aunt Xiang had something to say in her words, but she didn't say anything more.

"So, my mother is dead, Aunt Xiang, do you also want me to follow in my mother's footsteps?" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, as if she was talking about someone else's business, only her eyes were filled with hatred. Under Ling's plotting, and the Huguohou's Mansion didn't even give a confession, and just used a few servants to fill the gap, Ning Zu'an really regarded her as dead!

"Your mother has been ill for a long time, so..." Aunt Xiang's face turned pale, and she said with difficulty after a while.

"Long-term illness? Aunt Xiang was wrong. Mother died of poisoning. After death, she still carried a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. In the mourning hall, the imperial doctor next to King Yi came out to treat him, but the Hou family only took a few medicines. I don’t know when, I will follow in my mother’s footsteps.” Ning Xueyan smiled, her tone was cold, she picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

What he said did not seem to be talking about himself, completely watching his own life and death with the cold eyes of an outsider.

Aunt Xiang's body shook violently, and her calm eyes were flooded with anger like a storm. It could be seen that she was very angry. With her attitude towards Ming at that time, it was impossible not to care.

"Aunt Xiang, Huguohou's Mansion was not a place for our mother and daughter to live. Mother is too confident to end up like this. But I don't want to be so silently submerged in the backyard of Hou's Mansion." Ning Xueyanyou A sternness flashed across his dark eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

With what purpose did Mingshi push away such a big helper? She didn't know, she just wanted to avenge herself, Mingshi, and Ning Xueyan, and she would never let them succeed again and again. "If Aunt Xiang still misses the old love of mother, please help me."

Ning Xueyan stood up, remembering that she was pressed tightly in the water, the moment of despair before suffocation, she clenched her fingers slightly, no matter what time it was, she would never give up, of course she wanted to persuade Aunt Xiang, but it was impossible Aunt Xiang is the confidant of Concubine Yagui, and it is not an easy task to be by her side. This Aunt Xiang does not seem to be an impulsive person, so she will definitely think carefully.

And she just needs Aunt Xiang's help.

"What's wrong with Miss Wu?" Aunt Xiang stood on the side of the road, frowning in thought, watching Ning Xueyan walk past her, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and grabbed Ning Xueyan's hand , asked anxiously.

"Aunt Xiang, what's wrong?" Ning Xueyan stood still and asked softly, but her eyes were not surprised.

Aunt Xiang pulled Ning Xueyan over, made her face the light in the moonlight, looked at her face, took her hand again, tapped her fingers at the pulse gate, and her voice trembled unconsciously: "Miss Wu often feels unwell, sleepy from time to time, insomnia, dreamy, and sometimes palpitations?"

"Yes, remembering that my mother's death is unclear, how can I sleep well!" Ning Xueyan said indifferently, as if she didn't feel any surprise at all.

"Fifth Miss is still taking medicine?" Aunt Xiang's beautiful lips were a little pale.

"I've been using it all the time. When my mother was still here, she kept asking people to take care of me because of my poor health. Now Mrs. Tai asks people to help me take care of my body." Ning Xueyan smiled, her tone was as flat as gossip, and she didn't see it at all. Surprised, but his eyes were deep and cold, "No matter what kind of medicine is changed, there is always a light scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the medicine. It is not easy for people to know when it is mixed with medicinal materials, but my nose is so sensitive!"

After Ning Xueyan said this, Aunt Xiang was completely sure, stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "If you have such a medicine in the future, Miss Wu, please don't drink it. The medicine for human life, I just took it for the fifth girl, if I take more, I am afraid...it will never be possible in this life..."

This kind of thing only happens in the competition for favor, and Ning Xueyan is only a child now, and Ling's hands are so ruthless. Aunt Xiang was still hesitating before, but now she has made a decision in an instant.
