Chapter 786 Liu Mansion Owes Liu Wei a Dowry
The old lady was immediately nervous, but she didn't ask anything. She just pondered for a moment and said, "Mother Yang, bring me my box."
Mother Yang understood what the old lady was thinking, and immediately opened a locked cabinet and took out a jewelry box inside.
The Liu Mansion was sealed off, so it was really not easy to keep such a large box of gold and silver jewelry.
But these were still hidden by the old lady in advance. Both the third lady and the fourth lady had kept an eye on this box before, but the old lady never let go, even before she died last time.
Because this thing is what the old lady left to the eldest lady.
The old lady has always said that Liu Mansion owes the eldest lady a dowry, no matter when she gets married in the future.
The box was opened, Liu Wei looked at the dazzling jewelry inside, her eyes were calm, and then she turned to look at the old lady.
The old lady pushed the box into Liu Wei's arms and said, "It's all sold, hurry up and leave!"
Liu Wei tightened her fingers.
Seeing that Liu Wei did not refuse or accept, the old lady added in a low voice: "Kingto will be in chaos, you... never come back again."
Seeing the old lady almost stuffing the box into her arms, fearing that she wouldn't accept it, Liu Wei's eyes changed and she said: "Kingto can't be in chaos yet."
When Liu Wei said this, her tone was firm and her eyes were confident.
The old lady frowned and looked at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei didn't explain much, just said: "When I return home today, my granddaughter has something she wants to ask her grandmother about."
The old lady didn't know what was going on, but after a moment of silence, she nodded.
Liu Wei asked directly: "When the envoy from the Western Regions brought the princess from the Western Regions to Beijing, how much did grandma know about this matter?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Liu Wei to ask about such a long time ago.
Liu Wei frowned and said: "Madam has given me a lot of useful information, but maybe it has been a long time, or maybe the core issues of Madam's identity at that time were very hazy. I think these things should be asked. Grandma, maybe I can have a more accurate answer. Grandma, would you like to answer?"
The old lady looked at Liu Wei suspiciously, and finally leaned against the soft back cushion and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"The true purpose of people from the Western Regions coming to Beijing."
The Tianya Kingdom in the Western Region is a small border country in the West. Of course, this smallness means that compared with the Qingyun Kingdom, among the large and small countries in the West, the Tianya Kingdom is definitely the largest and the most powerful one.
Speaking of the west, it has always been within the Qingyun Kingdom's conquest range. The three consecutive cities ahead of Feisha Pass were occupied by the Central Plains as early as twenty years ago.
The border territory of Tianya Kingdom is just behind those three cities.
The Tianya Kingdom came that time to get married, and wanted to send their princess to Qingyun, so as to establish a good relationship between the two countries.
However, no one knows why it failed in the end.
Obviously at the beginning, the queen agreed, and the emperor also showed his willingness, but in the end, Xiyu returned the same way without mentioning the marriage.
When they came here, it seemed as if they were really what they said they were, visiting a big country and sending some Western specialties, intending to take over the trade route between Tianya Kingdom and Qingyun Kingdom.
There have been constant frictions on the border between the two countries since then, but strangely, Qingyun Kingdom has always felt that although Tianya Kingdom has been retreating and is weak, it can still defend their city without losing a single one.
Until now, the Qingyun Kingdom has no intention of dealing with the more remote Tianya Kingdom. Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles at home, and several neighboring countries are eyeing it. In addition, the Holy Father is old and has long passed the age of ambition to expand the territory.
The entire Qingyun will stick to the current prosperous situation until the next aspiring king ascends the Dabao and issues orders.
The old lady only knew so much because of her age, and she didn't know much about the inside story.
After hearing this, Liu Wei felt suspicious in his heart.
At first you came to get married, but then you gave up inexplicably?
Thinking of "that person", Liu Wei suddenly knew what Tianyao Kingdom relied on.
Liu Wei calmed down and asked the old lady: "Does grandma know some other things, such as the future trends of Tianya Kingdom, and some matters about the harem."
"Harem?" The old lady became more and more suspicious of Liu Wei's question, why did it involve the harem again.
"Does Grandma know Concubine Min?"
Concubine Min?
The old lady thought for a moment and then smiled unconsciously: "I have been alone for a long time."
Liu Wei nodded: "Has grandma heard about Concubine Min's death that year?"
The old lady smiled and said: "One of the four concubines will die as soon as she wants. How can there be no rumors about her?"
"What does grandma think? Grandma thinks that Concubine Min really died of illness as the outside world said?"
The old lady moved slowly, changed her sitting position, and looked at Liu Wei with a somewhat resentful look. She did not answer, but asked: "What on earth do you want to do when you ask these questions?"
Liu Wei didn't want to hide it, and felt that it was necessary to hide it again, so he said directly: "My granddaughter was appointed as the Zhengemen Secretary and was ordered to thoroughly investigate the murder case of Princess Qinyang. The case was pursued to this point, and it involved too many people, including the envoys of the Western Regions. , Concubine Min, one of the four noble concubines back then, is among them. If we want to thoroughly investigate this case, we must fully understand these old things."
After Liu Wei finished speaking, the old lady and Nanny Yang were both stunned. Thinking about it, even if the two old people guessed that she was wearing men's clothes and doing something, they never expected that she would become an official of the imperial court.
"You..." Sure enough, after the old lady was stunned, she raised her hand and pointed at Liu Wei, but before the old lady finished speaking, she felt a pain in her chest.
The old lady hurriedly covered her chest, her throat felt sweet, and she vomited blood with a "pop" sound.
Liu Wei was startled and almost immediately peeled off his sleeves and felt his pulse.
But Nanny Yang was already so frightened that she was about to walk out to find the doctor.
However, the old lady was dying and called out to Nanny Yang: "Come back, come back..."
Aunt Yang had no choice but to stop and look at the old lady anxiously.
The old lady ignored Nanny Yang, just tilted her head and looked at Liu Wei with difficulty. Liu Wei took out a roll-shaped bag from her sleeve pocket and unfolded it. Inside, there was a row of silver needles.
After twisting one of them, Liu Wei directly inserted it into the big hole on the old lady's head without even thinking about it.
Almost immediately, the old lady felt that the depression in her chest had dissipated a little, and her head, which was originally clogged and dull, felt a lot more relaxed.
Liu Wei applied acupuncture continuously, and finally stopped after eighteen injections.
At this time, the old lady only felt that her whole body was clear, as if her whole body had become lighter.
After half a quarter of an hour, Liu Wei pulled out all the silver needles. Seeing that the old lady's face softened, she asked Nanny Yang for paper and pen, wrote down a prescription, and ordered: "Follow the instructions on the prescription, four bowls of water." Boil it into a bowl. Grandma will use this recipe these days. When the prescription needs to be changed, I will send a new one."
Grandma Yang took the prescription, nodded repeatedly, and went to ask the old lady specifically: "Old lady, are you feeling better?"
The old lady nodded and waved her hand to Nanny Yang, indicating not to worry.
Seeing that the old lady's face was really rosy, Grandma Yang felt relieved and said, "I will send someone to buy medicine now."
