The maid's road to success
Chapter 39: Jingnan Lane
An Zizhong and An Wenniang looked at these scenes and smiled at each other. For them, everything was going smoothly. They could take the opportunity to replace many of the people who were monitoring An Zizhong's residence, which would make things much easier in the future.
Princess Baozhu can't hold on for too long. Can she, who is so fickle, really keep the room empty without a man? The Sixth Prince has to speed up.
Liu Yan from Jingnan Lane was sitting in front of the dressing table. The little girl beside her was kneeling on the ground. She seemed respectful, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Yan has followed the Sixth Prince three years ago. At that time, she was still a young opera singer. She was noticed by the Sixth Prince who came to watch the opera. Originally, the Sixth Prince just wanted to have some fun, but she was very good at observing people's words and expressions since she was a child, and it took a lot of effort to win over the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince was raised by the Grand Empress Dowager since he was a child, and he has been ordered by women all his life what to do, no matter whether it was the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, or his own princess, they were all daughters of military generals. His bold and unrestrained temperament made him dislike but unable to resist.
The Sixth Prince hates those women who are very opinionated and can handle everything. What he likes most is the weak and delicate lady who can't take care of herself and can only rely on him for everything.
Her figure was very petite among all the women, and she had been singing operas since she was young, so her voice was always tender and tender, which was why she attracted the Sixth Prince at first sight. From the first time she served him, when she cried bitterly on the bed and hugged the Sixth Prince to ask him to spare her life, she found that the Sixth Prince was particularly excited, and when he saw that she was very weak afterwards, he was even more happy to redeem herself and settle her in a small courtyard.
She realized that the Sixth Prince might prefer the kind that could inspire his masculinity, so she always deliberately made her look pitiful. Without the Sixth Prince's protection, she would have to die. Sure enough, she succeeded in becoming the Sixth Prince's favorite woman. The more the Empress Dowager and the Princess pressed her, the more pitiful she became, and the sadder the Sixth Prince would be. Instead, he added more servants and jewelry to her. It was her own request not to enter the Sixth Prince's Mansion. She was born in a humble family but was not stupid. It was impossible for her to really think that she could make the Sixth Prince and the Sixth Princess fight head-on for her. Perhaps the Sixth Princess would not even need to take action, and she would die.
She was just outside, and the Sixth Princess was too disdainful to kill a concubine, so it was safer for her not to enter the palace. But recently she felt threatened. The Empress Dowager already knew the Sixth Prince's preferences, but the most noble woman in the world would not find a woman to seduce her grandson. But the Fourth Prince already had children, and the Emperor also had children, although they were very weak, but he also had children. Only the Sixth Prince, for some reason, had no children. The Empress Dowager believed that it was her fault, but she did not dare to really do anything to herself in order to avoid alienating the Sixth Prince from them, so she found a young lady from an aristocratic family, who was also the same gentle and timid type.
That woman is now a proper concubine of the Sixth Prince's Mansion. She is equally attractive to the Sixth Prince. She has a noble status and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Sixth Prince has been attracted to her recently and has rarely come to see her. Liu Yan is very clear that without the Sixth Prince's love and favor, she is nothing. Based on her previous arrogant behavior, many people will want to kill her to vent their anger.
But recently a maid in her mansion told her that she could help her to secure her favor. Liu Yan knew clearly that no one would help her for free out of kindness. The other party had intentions towards the Sixth Prince, and she had never agreed. If the Sixth Prince was hurt, she didn't think she could distance herself from the matter. But today she took the initiative to call the maid to ask how to secure her favor.
She had been treated coldly a lot these past few days, and the servants had started gossiping about her. Someone outside was already trying to embarrass her in public, and the guards she bribed around the Sixth Prince also said that the Sixth Prince's wife was very resentful of Liu Yan for trying to sow discord between the Sixth Prince and now that this concubine could seduce the Sixth Prince, she planned to wait until the Sixth Prince completely let go of Liu Yan and then depose her.
Liu Yan couldn't believe that she had heard the news. The Sixth Prince didn't know yet. He was just interested in the concubine recently and had no other thoughts to pay attention to this matter. Liu Yan knew the Sixth Prince too well. She knew how many romantic things the Sixth Prince had done for her, and how ruthless he would be after he despised her.
But she had not been completely abandoned yet. After all, she was an actress. The concubine she met would not be able to give up her face to do it. After all, she was really timid, unlike the one she pretended to be. Instead of thinking so much about the Sixth Prince and her future safety, it is better to take care of the present. In the past, she was too stupid to really think that she could rest assured with the Sixth Prince's favor. She never thought that the love of such a noble person was too cheap. It is better to take advantage of the Sixth Prince's favor to fight for more capital to save her life.
It would also prevent him from being implicated if the Sixth Prince were to be completely defeated in the future.
After thinking it over, Liu Yan looked at the things handed to her by the maid and asked carefully how to use them and what they were for.
"This item is called Jiaoyan. If a woman burns this item together with her favorite incense, it will produce an arousing fragrance. If she burns it more than three times, she will become dependent on it. In that person's eyes, you are the most beautiful woman, and he will not be able to sleep at night if he can't see you. Moreover, this incense can make a woman radiant and more beautiful."
Liu Yan was moved. She took the medicine and thought about it for a night before deciding to use it boldly. She knew from a young age that her own life was the most important, and what happened to others was none of her business.
Seeing Liu Yan write a letter and send it to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, the maid Xing'er looked at Liu Yan's back and smiled. What she didn't tell Liu Yan was that this medicine was economical to use and made men pay extra attention to the women around them, but that was because of the effect of the medicine. If an old woman used this medicine now, the man would also think that she was an old lady with charm, and it had nothing to do with who the person was.
Moreover, this drug will make the user addicted, whether it is a man or a woman. Men cannot sleep without this fragrance, and women are more dependent on it. This drug can make a woman's skin beautiful, but if she does not continue to use it after three times, it will accelerate aging and emit a bad smell, until she becomes a white-haired, wrinkled woman in her fifties.
So their goal was to have Liu Yan use this medicine to do things for them. After all, the Sixth Prince's mansion was heavily guarded, and the Sixth Prince's wife was personally selected by the Grand Empress Dowager. She was very skilled, and the people they had planted there could only serve outside and could not contact the inner family. Liu Yan was the only place they could start. Naturally, they could not simply use some drugs that could be found everywhere.
The drug "Qingsi Tangman" can only be used by those with shallow roots, just like Qi Yangchuan and Hu Yan, who have only prospered within three generations. For people like the Sixth Prince's wife who come from an old-fashioned family, it is inevitable that someone in the family has heard of this drug, and then they will notice something. Jiaoyan is different. This is a new product developed by An Qing and Anyun, not something made from the previous Yuan family's prescription. Compared with Qingsi Tangman, the effect is not as strong, but what they need to do now is to use Liu Yan to pass on some words to the Sixth Prince.
Liu Yan finally waited for the Sixth Prince at noon the next day. The Sixth Prince had been suppressed by the lineage of Duke Cheng'en and the Fourth Prince in the court recently, and he was very upset. He wanted to go to the mansion to find his new concubine to play with her for a while. He would feel better when he saw the concubine being played with by him like a ravaged flower. Now that the Sixth Prince had a new person, he felt that Liu Yan's appearance was not as good as the one carefully selected by the Empress Dowager, and her every move was a little petty. She looked quite cute at ordinary times, but now that he had a better comparison, he could see some shortcomings.
Liu Yan saw the Sixth Prince's impatience and found it ridiculous. Who would have thought that this gentleman had sworn a vow of eternal love to her last month, but now he was impatient even when he said he was depressed and wanted to commit suicide.
Liu Yan walked tenderly to the Sixth Prince, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes red, pulling at his collar, whispering about the past four years, using the time when she escaped from the opera troupe under the protection of the Sixth Prince to bring up the Sixth Prince's memories. At least the Sixth Prince couldn't bear to enter the bedroom.
Although the Sixth Prince could still be moved by past events, Liu Yan knew that it was only because she still had strengths that the concubine did not have. The tricks she had on the bed were not something the women in the inner house were willing to lower themselves to learn.
But these tricks were useful when they were young, but she was already 20 years old, and the concubine was only years old. How could they compare? Her favor was being divided away bit by bit, so how could she continue to maintain her skin? Besides, the concubine herself had inquired and found out that she was really the Sixth Prince's favorite type, as lovable as a little rabbit.
Liu Yan had a charming appearance, and the fragility she acted out was far from her natural fragility, so as soon as the concubine entered the palace, she immediately hooked the Sixth Prince's legs.
Liu Yan knew that she had no other choice. If she did not accept Jiaoyan sent by Xing'er, she would be squeezed out by the concubine and would have no place to stay. The Sixth Princess was eyeing her covetously and had contradicted the Empress Dowager many times because of her. The Sixth Prince would never turn over a new leaf, but she was afraid that she would not even be able to return to her previous troupe and would end up in a miserable situation.
Liu Yan glanced at the floral fragrance wafting from the incense burner, and quietly leaned her body against the Sixth Prince. Today, she specially added something to the incense to enhance the mood, so she was not afraid that the Sixth Prince would not stay. As long as he stayed, with Jiao Yan's help, she could make the Sixth Prince remember her, and come over from time to time to keep him forever.
The butler waiting outside watched the sun go west and felt a little confused. The new concubine was very much favored by the Sixth Prince, and due to the persuasion of the Sixth Prince's wife, the Sixth Prince had neglected this concubine recently. The only reason she came today was because of their previous friendship, so why did she stay?
The princess had told the Sixth Prince not to come to Jingnan Lane to see this person again. How could he explain this to her when he returned? The housekeeper asked a servant to go inspect the shop and remind the Sixth Prince that it was time to leave.
When the servant came back, he said with a red face that the Sixth Prince was busy. The housekeeper saw that there was something unclear and began to think about how to explain to the Sixth Prince when he returned today. He thought that the Sixth Prince no longer needed this woman from Jingnan Lane and had repeatedly stopped the people she sent to deliver things to the Sixth Prince. Now this woman has successfully kept the Sixth Prince. Will he still be favored in the future? What will happen to his future then?
The butler was worried outside for two hours before the Sixth Prince walked out of the yard contentedly. Looking at the Sixth Prince's appearance, he knew that the Sixth Prince was interested in this woman again. He had served the Sixth Prince for too long and could tell the Sixth Prince's mood with just one look. That's why he concluded that the Sixth Prince no longer needed this woman and dared to boldly stop him and show his goodwill to the Sixth Princess.
One could also tell from the Sixth Prince's expression that the concubine found by the Empress Dowager could not replace Miss Liu, so he respectfully greeted Liu Yan who was holding the door frame to see him off.
Liu Yan felt only irony when she saw the steward of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, who had made sarcastic remarks to her before and was now in this state with her. When she was not favored, even the servants dared to give her a cold look, and now that she was favored, they tried to show their goodwill. However, Liu Yan knew that she could not reveal her true face, so she nodded and showed the spots on her neck, which showed at a glance how intense the fight between the two of them was just now. The Sixth Prince also gently comforted her to go back quickly, and he would call an imperial physician to check her body later.
After seeing off the Sixth Prince, Liu Yan called Xing'er. It was obvious that Xing'er was a spy planted by someone else. The Jiaoyan sent to her was only enough for one use. This time the effect was surprisingly good. She was almost tortured to death by the Sixth Prince. She left reluctantly after being reminded many times. Liu Yan even regretted adding aphrodisiac drugs to the incense.
"Who is your master? What do you want me to do?"
Xing'er stood behind Liu Yan, looking at her fair and tender skin emerging from the water, feeling happy. It was just as her master said, as long as Liu Yan used it once, she would be hooked.
"Don't worry young lady. My master is not from the faction of Lord Cheng'en or the Fourth Prince. We don't want to compete with the Sixth Prince for anything. On the contrary, we can help the Sixth Prince to take down those two."
Liu Yan had never thought that the master behind Xing'er was not the Sixth Prince's rival, so why did he use her to get close to the Sixth Prince? Yes, those two have many enemies, and if anyone has the ability to bring them down, they can only choose the Sixth Prince. Liu Yan looked at Xing'er and began to think.
If her master's real purpose is indeed to make life difficult for the Fourth Prince and Duke Cheng'en, then the one who is most capable is the Sixth Prince. The current emperor is not in good health, and his remaining offspring are not likely to live long. In that case, is it really possible for the Sixth Prince to ascend to that noble position? As long as she is pretty enough, she will always be in favor, and it is not impossible for her to become a noble concubine in the future.
Seeing Liu Yan's increasingly obvious greed, Xing'er knew that her main task had been accomplished. This person would keep asking for Jiao Yan. She was not afraid that she would want it, but she was afraid that she would not want it.
Xing'er was not allowed to contact the higher-ups. When she was sent to Jingnan Lane, she was told to pick up letters and items under the pear tree in the backyard on the 17th of every month. Today was the th, and it would take another twenty days for the items to be delivered. During this period, if the Sixth Prince came again, there would be no medicine to use. Xing'er couldn't help but feel a little nervous. At night, she thought that since the other party could deliver the medicine quietly, then could they also receive the message she left?
Unexpectedly, the person above seemed to know everything. When she took the letter and prepared to dig a hole in the fixed location to put it in, she found that there was already a box inside.
"Enough for half a month. Give it to Liu Yan depending on the situation. After ten days, have Liu Yan mention to the Sixth Prince that Princess Baozhu and the Fourth Prince are having an affair. Don't worry about the rest."
After reading the letter, Xing'er ate it directly. She had been told many times in Xishan that when performing a mission, she should read the letters she received and destroy them immediately. Now it was dark and burning them with fire would easily attract attention. She carefully put the letter into her hollow silver bracelet, and seeing that there was no one around, she pretended to go to the toilet and left.
