"Princess Qing Xin is at Empress Dowager Cai's?" In the late afternoon of a summer's day, the curtains of the small study in the Jintong Courtyard hung low, and the fruits and melons surging from the ice kettles at the corners of the room gave off a fresh scent. Wei Changying was able to coax both of her sons to sleep with her nursemaid, and only then did she have the time to meet with Duanmu Xinmiao alone, and at this time, she was holding her chess pieces for the time being, and while surveying the path of the chess pieces, she said with some surprise, "I heard that the Imperial Master had interceded on her behalf, and I thought that the Imperial Master was sympathetic to her young age, but it turned out to be because of you?"

Duanmu Xinmiao said "She is not a princess now, even the title with the title of the county lord are called the new king to cut away, now serving her people can only call her Miss Shen grandfather because of Gu Xiaode's previous behavior, will be the Hongzhou Gu clan hated a half dead, how can help the daughter of Empress Gu speak? " When Wei Changying had played, she also pondered over the chess pieces and casually said, "Third sister-in-law, you see, I'm a person with a soft heart."

"...... If you don't say it I'll think about it for a while, but as soon as you say it, I'll think that there's definitely something inside this matter." Wei Changying took a sip of the umeboshi drink in his hand and said, "Don't forget that this Miss Shen was originally at least a county princess." If it wasn't for Duanmu Xinmiao's regicide, perhaps the late emperor would still be alive today.

Duanmu Xinmiao puffed and laughed, saying, "Hey, I'm your sister-in-law, why don't you give me any decency at all? If you're being a sister-in-law like this, aren't you afraid that I'll go to my righteous mother and tell on you?"

Wei Changying laughed and said, "If you want me to be honorable, why do you need to mention this?" When it was her turn, she gently tapped the chess piece on the case and said, "Tell me, are you looking for me today because it has something to do with this Ms. Shen?"

Duanmu Xinmiao turned the gold-painted pastel-colored Spring Peach with Dew tea bowl in front of her and said, "I want to go to Xiliang again, and I want to seek for you to explore if there is any such opportunity for the Shen family recently? If there is, I'll go and grind righteous mother again."

"Western Liang?" Wei Changying said unexpectedly, "Why are you going there again? It's so chaotic nowadays."

"Where isn't there military chaos nowadays?" Duanmu Xinmiao sighed, "My grandfather said that even the Imperial Capital would only be peaceful for a few days. Sooner or later, the civil unrest and the foreigners will involve this little bit of peace here in the imperial capital. It was Western Liang that killed the Di people to the point that it was more peaceful instead, wasn't it?"

Wei Changying looked at her suspiciously and said, "Is this why you want to go to Xiliang? But even though Xiliang City is peaceful nowadays, this journey to Xiliang is very uneventful! And you get so seasick, didn't you swear last time that you would never travel far in your life?"

"Where can I take the oath I took last time seriously?" Duanmu Xinmiao lightly said, "Just talking on the spur of the moment, it's all in the past."

"...... "Wei Changying looked at her speechlessly and said, "So that's why you're going to Western Liang?"

Duanmu Xinmiao murmured, "It's not all ...... actually, I want to go find my master."

"Divine Doctor Ji and the others didn't have the chance to catch up, or else they would have been heading towards the Imperial Capital instead." Wei Changying reminded, "It's not a coincidence for you to run over there now."

"Newly obtained half of the formula strange interesting, just I also do not know the authenticity, or have to ask the master over the eyes of the good for approval." Duanmu Xinmiao took a finger to point at his cheeks, pondering for a moment, before saying, "But actually this is only one of the reasons. The root of the matter is that nowadays this home ...... or this imperial capital I really can't stay down a bit."

Wei Chang Ying was stunned, "Could it be that your stepmother ......"

"Although she is a stepmother, she has always treated me very well." Duanmu Xinmiao shook her head and said, "Nowadays, it's bad on this good word Huo Shenyuan's self-murder, and frankly speaking, although I was annoyed, I wasn't terribly sad either. Third sister-in-law, you know that I don't dislike him, but it's also far from the point where it's engraved in my heart. Once upon a time when I studied medicine with my master, I had the idea of not marrying in my life, but at that time my family ...... then my fourth uncle went to Xiliang and brought me back, and my grandfather and my father took turns persuading me, and my eldest sister and stepmother also said bitterly. In addition, I thought of the dowry in hand after the cabinet, everything is at ease. That's why I agreed to the person my elder sister and stepmother chose. But now both of them feel a hundred thousand percent unable to do right by me."

She furrowed her brows and said in a low voice, ''Originally, I had placed Shen Bao in the separate courtyard I used to live in, but when my eldest sister found out, she sent someone to forcefully persuade her to be taken into the care of the Cai Wang Mansion, without even asking for a reason. I know that this is because she feels that she is not careful in choosing people, harmed me for life, the heart of guilt, is now trying to find ways to do something for me. And stepmother, originally she was good to me, but also not lose the attitude of elders, now is simply everything is looking at my face to you say I did not blame them, but they are one by one so to me, I can live comfortably?"

Wei Changying sighed, "You may not care that you can't marry again in this lifetime. But your big sister and your stepmother certainly don't think so, in fact, even I think that Huo Shenyuan is too impulsive and has dragged you down for the rest of your life. Let alone them."

Duanmu Xinmiao said, "Anyway, people are dead, it's useless to talk about this. I am thinking of simply going to Western Liang to avoid some days, after a few years I'm afraid they can think more openly."

"But I'm afraid there's no such opportunity now." Wei Changying didn't think that Empress Dowager Cai and Zhou Yueguang's guilt towards Duanmu Xinmiao would fade in a few years' time it would be even harder for them to look at other people of Duanmu Xinmiao's age, who had children and couples in love with each other, while Duanmu Xinmiao was still alone. But now it is difficult not only these two, Duanmu Xinmiao is also not good, since she proposed to avoid, so even if for the Empress Dowager Cai Wang and Zhou Yueguang for a few years apart still feel guilty in the heart, but for Duanmu Xinmiao at least will be better, right.

So she seriously considered this intention of Duanmu Xinmiao, but regrettably said, "The next Xiliang army entering the Central Plains from Xiliang one after another is more likely. This side as a matter of fact will not send a large group of people to turn back, nowadays in this world, without a large group of people to escort, all things are unpredictable."

Duanmu Xinmiao sighed slightly after hearing this and said, "So? Then I won't mention it to righteous mother, otherwise if righteous mother goes and tells my stepmother and the others, I'm afraid they'll be terrified again."

Obviously Empress Dowager Cai Wang and Zhou Yueguang, because of this apology for choosing Huo Shenyuan as her son-in-law, are just as unsettled as birds of prey at the moment.

And Duanmu Xinmiao's unease actually came largely from this unease of theirs.

When Wei Changying saw that she looked unhappy, he thought for a moment and said, "You haven't said what you're doing to keep Shen Bao? I remember that you were not familiar with her before, and now that the new ruler has made his attitude clear, it's not a big deal for the Imperial Master to intercede before. She was kicked out of the palace, even her family, the Gu family, and the Princess Linchuan, who became the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, as if they didn't know, but you placed her, so it's inevitable that the new king will be displeased. With such a big responsibility, it's impossible that you don't have inside information, right?"

Duanmu Xinmiao hooked her lips and smiled, saying ''Empress Gu ...... Oh, the abolitionist Empress Gu made a deal with me before, that is, I want to go to Xiliang this time to find the master to see that half of the formula. She sent the other half to An and other beloved ones to bring out of the palace, God knows where to run to? I have to take good care of my daughter for her for twenty years, and after twenty years if Shen Bao is doing well, An and the others will come over to me and give me the remaining half of the formula."

"What kind of formula is worthy of such a promise?" Wei Chang Ying said unexpectedly, "Taking care of Shen Bao for twenty years is not a light burden! Not to mention the new ruler's anger toward her, but with her beautiful face, in this time of chaos, it's a sin to harbor a child."

Before the two of them entered the small study, they had instructed no one to disturb them, let alone be nearby, because they were planning to talk to each other with impunity. With Wei Changying's control over Jintong Courtyard, no one would dare to disobey this order. But Duanmu Xinmiao actually still tiptoed to the door and window and quietly opened a crack and looked around, confirming that no one was there, before slipping back to Wei Changying's side, pressing close to her ear, and saying in a low voice, word by word "Dreams, see, scatter!"

Wei Changying let out a "yah" and said with a slight change of color, "Is it the one that Princess Xu made during the Dahee Jingying years?"

"If it weren't for this formula, how could I have agreed to such an outrageous request? It's too late for me to take care of myself in this mess!" Duanmu Xinmiao narrowed her eyes and said.

The dynasty that preceded Wei was Daehyuk, but Daehyuk was short-lived, lasting only fifty-seven years.

This Jingying Emperor is the third emperor of Dah, his grandfather is He Taizu, south war for decades, hard to fight the world, but did not sit for a full year on the line; on the contrary, his father, Ningxiang Emperor, as He Taizu's eldest son, ascension to the throne has been almost fifty years old, actually still sit for nearly thirty years of the emperor, so that the Jingying Emperor waited for a good deal of anxiety. Probably waiting for too long, easy to ascend the throne, Jingying Emperor completely indifferent to political affairs, wholeheartedly indulged in the sound and color enjoyment.

So it's not uncommon for the harem to have intense rivalries during Emperor Jingying's time.

The most intense of these was the battle between Empress Feng and Consort Xu for the throne and the battle between the two for their son's throne even to the point where both had heirs murdered by the other.

But Jingying years of the harem of the most sensational is the Xu Fei will be the son of the Empress Feng dissect the brain to take the marrow, cut the vein to take the blood, made of a secret medicine, called "dreaming of loose".

It is said that Xu Fei is relying on this "dream see loose", raw reversal of their own has been flourishing and decline of the posture, restored to the first service Jingying Emperor when the delicate and colorful. Plus she served Emperor Jingying for many years, his preferences as well as know, and thus will be younger than her Feng Queen overwhelmed, so that the previous by virtue of the young beauty of the Xu Fei took away the throne of the Feng Queen gradually fell out of favor not to mention that the last even fell into the Xu Fei living death of the end of the gas.

However, in order to avenge the murder of her second son by Empress Feng, Consort Xu went to visit Empress Feng when she was seriously ill, and intentionally told Empress Feng how tragic the death of her eldest son was, and that the fat powder that Empress Feng had obtained from Consort Xu and used several years ago was actually made from the blood and brain marrow of Empress Feng's son, which infuriated Empress Feng to death and was therefore also heard and revealed by Empress Feng's youngest child, who was hiding under the bed. However, the youngest son of Empress Feng hid under the bed and heard the truth and revealed it.

However, later Jing Ying Emperor to Xu Fei traced this "dream see loose" unsuccessful, Xu Fei's son ascended to the throne, had a large-scale search of the palace, although under the guise of other names, however, at that time, there were rumors, in fact, is to look for the "dream see loose" formula.

For reasons unknown, Princess Xu did not give this formula to her own children and grandchildren.

And who in this world doesn't adore youth at the right age?

Even though this formula was rumored to be exceptionally cruel, requiring the brain marrow and blood of a fresh young child as a guide. But if it could be exchanged for another youthfulness after one's twilight years, there were too many people in the world who could be cruel to others.

However, until the fall of Daehyuk, the formula of "Dreaming Scatter" was only in the rumors and was never found.

But I don't want to think that the abolitionist Empress Gu actually has it in her hands?

Wei Changying thought for a moment that Gu was nearly half a hundred years old, yet her appearance was as delicate as a flower in spring could this be the reason why the once-favored Empress was so youthful and ageless, and not just a matter of careful maintenance?
