Chapter 137 Zhu Xing'er is in trouble

What Wen Qing said was not groundless.

The Xuannv Sect is good at disguise, and is also good at singing and dancing performances, and is mainly composed of women.

This time, the assassins, as well as the assassins in black, are all women.

Another thing is that the Xuannv Sect likes to seduce the daughters of officials, daughters of wealthy businessmen, and concubines of aristocratic families to join the sect.

After all, the legitimate daughter has a bright future, so how could she be willing to associate with the Xuannv Sect and tarnish her reputation?

Those concubines with evil intentions are naturally different.

The Wen family has experienced a lot in the past year.

First, the elder sister Wenrou died tragically, but her body was cremated and no remains were left.

She only dared to leave a token in a dark room at home, and she and her mother could only worship secretly.

All this happened because Crown Prince Xuan Yi fell in love with Wenrou.

Wenrou was so happy that he fell in love with her again and wanted to marry her.

Wen Qing had long been in love with Liu Shuyuan. Even though he was only a third place winner in the imperial examination, in Wen Qing's heart, he was a thousand times better than Xuan Yi.

Unfortunately, in order to promote Liu Shuyuan, my father also promoted the runner-up named Ye.

No one could have imagined that this Mr. Ye would be able to establish connections and allow his daughter to attend the Qiuyue Banquet.

You know, Liu Shuyuan is not qualified to attend the Qiuyue Banquet.

This time, the Wen family was implicated.

"Qing'er, don't talk nonsense. Your father doesn't know people well, so it's normal for Lord Lu to ask a few questions."

Master Wen interrupted Wen Qing's words in a harsh voice.

Things about the Xuannv Sect should not come out of Wen Qing's mouth.

"Miss Wen, I would like to know why you think that the Xuannv Cult wants to assassinate His Majesty. Although the Xuannv Cult is a cult, their main business is prostitution and brothels. Their strength is not strong."

Lu Yuan said this on the surface, but in his heart he had some interest in the Xuannv Sect.

The places where dignitaries love to go for entertainment are the territory of Xuannv Sect.

Then it is possible that the people of Xuannv Sect could get in touch with these powerful people.

But since these words were spoken tenderly.

Then naturally, warmth is needed to provide evidence.

And since Wen Qing took the initiative to speak, how could Lu Yuan let go of this opportunity?

"Lord Lu, Qing'er is just a girl, how could she know about the Xuannv Sect?

She had only heard the name of this evil cult from the maids. After all, the most active cult in Sheng Country is the Xuannv Cult. "

Master Wen stood in front of Wenrou and spoke to Lu Yuan.

The evil cults in the Sheng Dynasty were not only the Xuannv Cult, but also the Rakshasa Cult and the Wusheng Cult.

However, the latter two were the main targets of the imperial court, and the remaining believers were just barely surviving.

If it weren't for the face-swapping case in Taohua Town, almost everyone would have thought that the Rakshasa Cult had been completely destroyed.

Master Wen was unwilling to let Wen Qing be involved in this case.

Master Wen took out the draft of Ye Hanlin's poem from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Lord Lu, the reason why I promoted Ye Hanlin was because I read his poems. He is a very talented and ambitious person, especially the line "I will get my money back even if I spend it all, and my talent will be useful", which left a deep impression on me.

He not only gave this manuscript of poetry to me, but also to other officials in the Hanlin Academy.

It is precisely because of this that I directly approved his promotion.

However, the proposal for his promotion was put forward by Lord Li of the Hanlin Academy.

Moreover, the reason why Ye Hanlin's daughter was able to attend the Autumn Moon Banquet this time was because Ye Ling was good friends with Zhu Xing'er from the Ning'an Palace, and it was Zhu Xing'er who brought her to the Autumn Moon Banquet."

Grand Tutor Wen did not want to offend the Ning'an Palace.

But this matter was related to him. The moment he saw Ye Ling was in trouble, his mind started to brainstorm wildly.

Although he promoted Ye Hanlin, he was not the one who brought Liu Shuyuan to the Qiuyue Banquet. He could have brought Liu Shuyuan to the Qiuyue Banquet, but he didn't.

I'm just afraid that when I come here, I might be spotted by someone else, which would be bad.

After all, Liu Shuyuan and Wen Qing haven't gotten married yet, they are just engaged.

And there is another reason, Xuan Yi is also there.

It would be bad if they bump into each other then.

At this Qiuyue Banquet, Wen Qing did not sign up to perform on stage.

The key to this Autumn Moon Banquet is how Ye Ling, the daughter of the Ye family, came to the Autumn Moon Banquet.

This is not difficult to find out.

At a glance from Grand Tutor Wen, Madam Wen quietly began to look for acquaintances to ask who brought Ye Ling to the Autumn Moon Banquet.

So this matter is easy to find out.

This is not some dark secret.

What's more, there are many people who want to curry favor with the Wen family.

The Wen family is the prince's in-laws.

But this matter depends on who says it.

Everyone knows the relationship between Lu Yuan and Ning'an Palace. Generally speaking, no one wants to offend Ning'an Palace. Unless they are asked about it themselves, they will not speak out easily.

But at this time, Lu Yuan kept staring at Wen Qing, so Master Wen told him about this.

Master Wen does not want to offend the Ning'an Palace, but that does not mean he is afraid of the Ning'an Palace.

Xu Qiuyue didn't expect that this matter would be related to the Ning'an Palace. In her previous life, Xu Qiuyue had never heard that this matter was related to the Ning'an Palace.

Xu Qiuyue guessed that Zhu Xing'er might have been used.

After all, with the strength of the Ning'an Palace, there is really no need to do such an obvious thing.

What's more, Ye Ling's assassination may not be successful.

Xu Qiuyue could feel that His Majesty’s strength was not bad.

No wonder he could eat poison pills for so many years and still survive.

In order to achieve immortality, His Majesty has reached a certain level of madness.

If it is a normal recipe for making pills, it will definitely not be poisonous.

But there is no such recipe for the elixir of immortality in the world.

It can only be achieved through repeated refining and experimentation.

And the medicinal materials used are extremely precious.

It is also quite expensive to give it to people for trial.

Normally, His Majesty would be reluctant to waste these pills on death row prisoners.

Therefore, he would usually give it to the beauties around him.

They said they wanted to live forever together.

In fact, he took it only after waiting for the person to take it and seeing that the person was still alive.

But generally speaking, these pills do not cause immediate death, but are chronic poisons.

Those beauties were in their twenties, young and beautiful, and the effects of these pills would not take effect immediately after taking them. Sometimes they might even die in the next palace fight or conspiracy, without even waiting for the poison to take effect.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this is an extremely favored honor, that is the immortal pill! The emperor is actually willing to reward it.

Others were banished to the cold palace, where they lived for more than ten years before dying.

At this time, there are many causes of death, and who can be sure that it was definitely caused by the elixir?

Those alchemists also knew that every time a pill was developed and refined, the emperor would find someone to test it.

If something goes wrong, not only his life will be in danger, but also the lives of his entire clan.
