Bondage

Some people spread rumors about Huanyanzhai in Beijing. After a few days, there was no movement. Song Wan was about to find the Tan family by himself, but suddenly received an order from the Queen of the Central Palace to see Lin Jiayue.

It was only then that she realized that her aunt's few words that day were actually listened to by the queen.

"Have someone go to the embroidery room to get a new set of clothes, and the two of you will follow me to the Embroidery Smoke Pavilion."

"Miss, if Aunt Lin's temperament enters the palace, will there be any disasters for you? What about Master Hou? Will Master Hou go to the palace? If Aunt Lin..."

Heng Wu muttered non-stop, she was not afraid of entering the palace, she was not afraid of seeing the empress, but she was really afraid of being with Aunt Lin, if she went crazy in front of the empress, she didn't know what disaster would happen .

"Miss, this servant is afraid that she will go mad again."

Song Wan heard the words and sighed silently: "The queen has to obey the order. I am the clan's wife of the Marquis's mansion. How can I let a concubine enter the palace alone."

Hengzhi has a sharp temper, upon hearing this, she immediately ordered the second-class maid in the room to go to the embroidery room.

When she brought her clothes to Xiuyan Pavilion, Song Wan saw Lin Jiayue sitting in the veranda, thinking hard about something.

She just lost her unborn child and her body has not recovered yet, and now it is autumn again. Although it is not too cold, people with weak bodies can't stand it.Not to mention that he didn't know what torment he would have to suffer when entering the palace this time, Song Wan couldn't bear it, looked at Qian Bi and said, "Why don't you put some clothes on for Aunt Lin?"

Hearing her voice, Lin Jiayue slowly raised her head: "You came to look for me, what is the matter?"

"Empress Yi ordered you to enter the palace, and I will be with you."

Heng Zhiheng Wu helped Lin Jiayue into the house, and the two helped her change into new clothes.

"Go and bring some food, and prepare some hot soup."

"I can not eat."

Song Wan said lightly: "Let's eat some, I don't know if I can eat it again in the future."

Only now did Lin Jiayue come back to her senses: "What does the queen want from me?"

Song Wan frowned and said, "Lead powder is poisonous, did you know that?"

"What is lead powder?"

"..."

Song Wan opened her eyes slightly, as if she never thought that she would ask such a question.

"The gouache in Huanyanzhai uses lead powder from Yanshan Workshop, don't you know?"

"What is lead powder?"

Song Wan was stunned by the question.

She claims to be smart, but for some reason, every time she meets Lin Jiayue, she feels confused and dizzy.After pondering for a while, Song Wan said: "You don't know what it is, so you use it in your own shop and sell it to others?"

Lin Jiayue's eyes were empty: "It's just an OEM product, with high profits and high benefits. I don't need to know what's inside."

Really don't understand what this person is talking nonsense, Song Wan can only tell her that Hu powder is poisonous, and now someone in the palace will find out and tell her.

At this point, Lin Jiayue was a little flustered.

She has no reverence for imperial power, but that was in the past, before Jiang Jing and Aunt Zhou and her unborn child died.

Now she knows it hurts and she knows she is afraid.

Song Wan saw that the person in front of her was dazed again, and it wasn't until Heng Zhi Heng Wu dressed her and combed her hair that Lin Jiayue quietly said, "I couldn't sleep a few days ago, so I asked Qian Bi to ask for some soothing medicine. The government doctor didn't give it to me."

The inconsequential words made Song Wan tighten the veil.

After pondering for a long time, she finally said: "The government doctor has to check the pulse and write down the symptoms and prescriptions on Zhu paper, and then send it to the pharmacy for the doctor to record the pulse, so that the medicine can be obtained."

"Is that so..."

Lin Jiayue's eyes were red and she muttered.

Seeing that Heng Zhiheng Wu had tidied up for herself, she followed Song Wan with her skirt that was too wide.

When there were only two people in the carriage, Lin Jiayue suddenly asked, "Did someone be poisoned to death by lead powder?"

"Lead powder hurts people's skin, and it will hurt life after prolonged use."

Her Huanyan Zhai has not been in operation for a long time, and it has not yet reached the point where it can hurt people's lives. Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Song Wan stopped talking.

If it were an ordinary person, she would be able to figure out three or four points of her mind just by seeing it, but she couldn't see through Lin Jiayue no matter what.

There was silence in the car, and Lin Jiayue asked again when they were approaching the palace, "Is it certain that I will die if I go?"

"I do not know."

"Is there any way I can survive?"

Song Wan lowered his eyes, quickly calculating in his mind.

If there was a real difficulty, Concubine Jiang would definitely put it all on Lin Jiayue today, the result was not what she wanted.

"Those who are above doubt, those who are below..."

"I don't understand, you speak human language."

Song Wan pursed her lips, paused for a moment and said: "The superior is very suspicious, the more you evade, the more suspicious you will appear. On the other hand, if you recklessly take all the blame on yourself, you may be able to get away."

"You didn't frighten me?"

After speaking, Lin Jiayue laughed to herself again: "You won't lie to me, you don't bother to lie to me at all, you must think I'm stupid to be in this situation today."

Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall, but Song Wan saw a trace of clarity in her eyes.

If the original Lin Jiayue was like a pearl covered in dust...a heart covered in lard, she looks a bit smarter now.

Turning his head and slightly lifted the corner of the car curtain, Song Wan looked out of the window and said: "It is human nature to go all out to claim credit for success, and to blame oneself for failure. This is human nature. Every master in the palace has a delicate heart. If you go in the opposite direction, they will be less able to please you and make you wish."

Whether those lead powders were actually delivered to the empress in the palace is still unknown.And what is Lin Jiayue, no matter the queen or the concubines will pay attention to her, everyone's goal is Jiang Man, calling her here today is just a formality.

It's just that the consequences of going through the motions are not easy to say.

If the plan is correct, it is impossible to save a life.

Song Wan let go of his hand and put down the curtain.

As soon as the two entered the palace, they were taken to the Queen's bedroom. As soon as Fang entered the palace, Song Wan found that there were more than a dozen concubines sitting in it. Not only Concubine Jiang and her aunt were there, but even Concubine Rong Gui, who hadn't seen her face for a long time, appeared here .

She frowned and led Lin Jiayue in.

After seeing the crowd, Song Wan stood aside, while Lin Jiayue stood alone in front of the crowd.

"You are the Lin family? You made the incense powder in Huanyan Zhai?"

"Do you know how many people have been harmed by this thing? What are you thinking about sending such poisonous things into the palace wantonly? Do you know what crime should be committed by poisoning the empress in the palace?"

Lin Jiayue's eyes were red, and she gave Jiang Man a sad look. Jiang Man was so angry that she grabbed the incense table, almost breaking her nails.

"Reporting to your mother, it was done by the concubine, and it was done by the concubine."

With a plop, Lin Jiayue knelt down: "It's all my fault."

"It's my concubine's love for Lord Hou. Everything is my fault. I just love Lord Hou, and I want to help the Hou family earn some money..."

Before the female officer in the palace could ask any more questions, Lin Jiayue accepted all the charges, without mentioning Jiang Man.

Not only that, she opened and closed her mouth full of affection for Jiang Xingjian. She told how the two fell in love at first sight, and all the vows they had made, and she looked like she was dead and unswerving in this life.

She was already seriously ill during this time, and now she talks about her love affair with Jiang Xingjian so shamelessly, her crazy appearance makes all the ladies frown and narrow their eyes.

On the contrary, Song Wan was quite surprised by what she said and did, as if he didn't expect that Lin Jiayue was not as stupid as she thought.
