Chapter 957: The Wasteful Prince vs. the First Female Official 1
Of course it wouldn't be possible if it were just a few boxes of beef.
The key is that there is a secret recipe hidden in the wooden box under those boxes of beef, a secret recipe that can bewitch people.
Gongsun Yun was not favored at the time, so she naturally wanted this method of bewitching people. So when she tricked herself out of the palace to visit her relatives, she went to the address on the letter in person.
Before she went, she hesitated, thinking that maybe it was just a prank, or maybe so much time had passed that the person at the address might have left before she could show up.
But the desire to be favored still prevails.
Fortunately, Gongsun Yun met someone at the address she wrote.
She also got the divine grace as she wished.
However, the condition is that she must select 100 newborn babies every year and give them to the Moon Clan in return.
After she gained favor, the Gongsun family also gained wealth, so selecting two hundred babies to send over every year was not a big deal. As long as they made good arrangements, there would be people who could not afford to eat willing to give their children to them.
After hearing Lingyao say this, Xuan Yanjing was stunned and the cake in his hand lost its taste.
"Is this still a human being..." After saying this, he became a little confused: "But how do you know these things?"
Damn it, I spoke too quickly and forgot how to make up a poem for the God of Wealth.
Is it any use if she imitates the Moon Clan elder and recites “The moon is full on the 15th and the 16th”?
Lingyao finally gave up the idea and explained seriously, "I found out from my subordinates at Chunye Pavilion before I came here."
Xuan Yanjing understood what Lingyao said. After all, Chunye Pavilion was the largest intelligence agency, so it seemed reasonable for it to know these secrets.
"So the reason they kidnapped me this time is also related to Gongsun Yun?"
Lingyao nodded: "It's not entirely related. After all, Gongsun Yun wants your life, and the Moon Clan Goddess wants your body."
How could the Moon Clan Goddess work for Gongsun Yun for nothing? She was simply taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the Xuanwu Kingdom's crown prince.
Hearing Lingyao say this, Xuan Yanjing immediately raised his hand to cover his chest, then hugged his shoulders, and finally threw the beef patty in his hand aside and hugged Lingyao.
"No, that won't work. My body is mine and yours only. They can't have it!"
Lingyao: “…” Acting cutely.
Lingyao didn't push Xuan Yanjing away and let him hold her.
He just interrupted him and said, "They want to control your status as the crown prince and then change the dynasty of Xuanwu Kingdom."
It's not because I want his body.
Xuan Yanjing snorted lightly. No matter whether it was for his body or his identity, it was still his.
He is hers, no one can mess with him!
The two finished their meal in the backyard and discussed what to do next.
Now Lingyao and Xuan Yanjing could sneak away, but the soldiers Xuan Yanjing brought in and the confidants sent to him by his uncle were all trapped, so Xuan Yanjing couldn't just leave.
He discussed with Lingyao and decided that one of them would check the location where the soldiers were imprisoned, while the other would check the current location of the Moon Goddess.
Now is obviously the time when the Moon Goddess and the Moon Clan are at their weakest. Today, when passing by the wall made of poisonous insects that I saw a few days ago, I could clearly feel that the poisonous insects there were weaker than those I saw that day.
Lingyao originally thought that she could explore and drive to these two places, but seeing Xuan Yanjing's excitement, she didn't interrupt him and agreed.
After the meal, the two of them quickly split up and agreed that for safety reasons, they would go back to the woodshed together to rest at night. While they were there, they could try to pry open the mouths of the two Moon Clan members to see if they could get some useful information.
Lingyao is responsible for finding the residence of Yue Mei, the goddess of the Moon Clan.
She spent two hours touring all the houses in this area and finally found the place where Yue Mei was being treated and recuperating. The place was very easy to find. After all, it was heavily guarded by troops and it was impossible to miss it.
In addition, she also found a lot of planted herbs on a mountain. They were obviously planted by the Moon Clan themselves, and there were two people in moon-colored robes watering them.
Lingyao walked forward, knocked each of them unconscious with a chopping knife, and took all the herbs with a smile.
There are many herbs to prevent poison. After all, the Moon Clan can only control the poison they raise themselves. Sometimes the poison insects raised by others become restless and uncontrollable, and it is easy to be injured by mistake.
Therefore, the Moon Clan people would boil herbs into pastes and then apply them on their bodies regularly. Of course, they could only apply them in small amounts, which could also restrain the poisonous insects in their bodies. However, if they applied them in large amounts, it would also harm the poisonous insects in their bodies.
Lingyao ransacked the house filled with medicinal herbs and ointments, and it took her three trips to empty it all.
The third trip was to move people. Anyway, they were knocked unconscious, so it was better to take them back. Otherwise, when they woke up, they would definitely report that the medicinal materials were missing as soon as possible.
After Xuan Yanjing found out the location where the soldiers were imprisoned, he sneaked in and made eye contact with his confidants, and secretly comforted them before coming back.
I saw that the woodshed that was so simple when I left this morning is now bright and beautiful.
Silver and copper bottles and jars were placed all over the floor, as well as bundles of herbs. As soon as you opened the door and entered the house, you could smell a strong herbal aroma. Lingyao was sitting on a round mat that she had found from somewhere, reading a book on medicinal materials.
Next to her were four Moon Clan women who were tied together.
They were already awake at this time, and there was nothing stuffed in their mouths, but none of them dared to speak.
He just looked at Lingyao with a look of fear.
Then, the moment she saw Xuan Yanjing coming in, she looked at Xuan Yanjing, who was wearing the dress of the Moon Clan, for help.
