Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang couldn't sleep at all, lying on the bed thinking about something.

Su Tu was in the darkroom. He definitely didn't enter through Anfu Palace. There was another entrance to the darkroom.

That would not be a dark room, but rather a cave. One entrance is in Anfu Palace.

Ding Xiang specifically asked about the location of Mingqian Tea House before.

Mr. Hong said that the Mingqian Tea House is on Jinque Street, which is relatively close to the palace.

The journey from the Su Mansion to Mingqian Teahouse by carriage takes about two-quarters of an hour, and the distance is not far.

In other words, Su Mansion is relatively close to the palace.

Then, the other entrance to the underground cave is likely to be in Su Mansion.

The Queen Mother is Su Tu's sister, who came to the palace fifty years ago. She lived in Anfu Palace, probably after becoming a noble concubine. It took thirty or forty years until she died.

After so many years, I have already planned. Although digging a hole is difficult, it is not impossible.

Women who are promoted to Queen Mother must live in Cining Palace. This is a custom and a symbol of status.

The Queen Mother refused to move to Cining Palace because she was used to living in Anfu Palace. After her death, Concubine Su was allowed to live in her house because of this cave.

The cave is top secret, and it is also a place where Su Tu and Concubine Su have a tryst and pass on information.

But Concubine Su is Su Tu’s eldest daughter. Isn’t this incest?

Perhaps Concubine Su was not Su Tu's biological daughter. Because of his premeditated plan, he brought a baby girl from an unknown family into the Su Mansion and sent her to the palace when she grew up.

In the name of seeing the Queen Mother, she went into the cave to have a tryst with Su Tu.

And the Queen Mother helped her cover.

Gao Feng was not a "civet cat for a prince", but was indeed the son of Concubine Su. As for why he was identified as the son of Su Tu and not the son of Emperor Qingguan, it is not known yet.

There is a flying dragon on the ring finger, which is undoubtedly dedicated to the emperor. Saying "Xian" is not accurate, because Concubine Su said the word "like" twice in a row.

Then, the emperor must have an identical ring, and Su Tu forged one.

Give it to Su Guifei, and she will most likely be asked to exchange the two thumb rings.

There is obviously something bad about people on the ring finger, which is why Concubine Su dislikes it so much. It's not a huge poison that will kill people upon contact. It could be chronic poison, or something else.

Also, because the Queen Mother has slept in this bed before, the Emperor will not sleep here when he comes to Anfu Palace. The secret of this bed is not easy to be discovered...

Ding Xiang remembered reading some article in her previous life. It was said that in ancient times, emperors had many women, and that women would no longer serve in bed after they were thirty. It was also said that they would not serve in bed after fifty.

At least in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's women still slept with them after they were thirty, because several concubines were over forty when they gave birth to children.

Concubine Su is in her forties. Judging from her charming appearance and well-maintained condition, the Emperor should still be "lucky". When she is lucky enough, she will have the opportunity to change her thumb.

The beloved concubine had thoughts of harming the emperor, so there were other opportunities to administer chronic poison, such as a tea cup or something. Why did they change the thumb ring?

Lilac couldn't figure it out.

The content in this dream was too exciting, too much, and too useful.

The question is, how should she tell Zhu Qian.

Tell the whole dream? No, no one can reveal this trump card at any time.

Ding Xiang thought for a long time and decided to talk about it first.

Zhu Qian couldn't see the emperor, but Mr. Xun could. I heard that his health was better than before. Although he couldn't move around, he could still be carried into the palace.

Ding Xiang has always suspected that there is a big boss who silently helps Zhu Qian.

As for the matter of the underground cave, Su Tu, and Concubine Su, we will find excuses later.

It was now late June. The intelligence was handed over to Zhu Qian. It would take at least ten days for Zhu Qian to send someone to the capital, which would be early July.

They analyzed that the Su family would take action after July, which was just enough time.

In the morning, Lilac woke up listless.

Ding Zhuang touched her forehead and asked, "Is Xiangxiang sick?"

Ding Xiang whispered, "Master, I had a nightmare again yesterday."

Ding Zhuang quickly pulled her to his room, "What did you dream about?"

Ding Xiang whispered, "I dreamed that a female goblin secretly put a ring on a man in yellow clothes. The goblin stuck out her long tongue, and there were two small red dots in the corners of her eyes. It scared me so much that I couldn't sleep well all night. …”

He also explained in detail the clothes the man wore and the type of veil he wore.

She had never seen the emperor's grandfather, but she knew what the emperor's clothes looked like. Concubine Su has red moles at the corners of her eyes. People who are familiar with her will definitely know.

Outsiders may think that Su Guifei's little red dot is inherited from Su Tu, but Ding Xiang even thinks that it is a mark left by taking the Huajing Pill.

Ding Zhuang also knows what the emperor's clothes are like. Is there a demon who wants to harm the emperor with a wrench?

An An entrusted this dream to her granddaughters, and she must have told them to take precautions.

Ding Zhuang was sure that the female goblin was sent by Su Tu. Grandma is a bear. If the female goblin kills the emperor, both the Dong family and my own family will be doomed.

Zhu Qian must be told immediately.

But outsiders cannot know about my granddaughter’s dream.

It's already the end of June, and my second grandson is about to take his college entrance examination, so he can't be distracted. He was worried about Ding Li's arrival, and others were even less worried.

Ding Zhuang said, "I will go to Jiaozhou personally and go immediately."

Ding Xiang also meant the same thing, "Go and come back quickly."

Ding Zhuang ordered, "You are not allowed to leave the village during this period."

"good."

After breakfast, Ding Zhuang said he was going to Jiaozhou to see his shop and asked Li Dalu to drive him there.

Before leaving, he asked Yang Hu and Li Maigao to live in the west courtyard when he was not at home, and Aunt Wei and He Hui to live in the east courtyard. I hurriedly picked fifty red apples and brought them over. Mrs. Zhu liked these red apples.

Ding Zhuang returned home eight days later and brought a tenth birthday gift from Zhu Qian, his wife and Ding Shuniang to Ding Xiang.

It was also said that Zhu Qian had "taken refuge" with Deputy General Wang and began to privately gather people and ships to surrender with him, as well as some Dali officers and soldiers who were willing to obey his orders.

If Zhu Zhan has a letter, they will take the waterway to Donglei Island to meet Zhu Zhan.

The navy is taking action, and the more critical army will definitely take action...

Thinking of Ding Lichun in the distance, Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang became even more uneasy.

Ding Xiang didn't want to celebrate her tenth birthday, so she only invited Mrs. Qian and her husband and relatives from two villages to have lunch.

In early August, Ding Liren, accompanied by Zhang and Yang Hu, went to the provincial capital Jeju to hold the college examination on August 18th.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang didn't care whether Ding Liren passed the exam or not. What they are now worried about is the future of the Dong family and Ding Lichun's life.

The golden autumn in Beiquan Village is beautiful, calm and peaceful.

This year is another good harvest year, and the faces of the villagers are filled with happy smiles.

There was a bumper harvest of red apples in the Ding family’s yard, with hundreds of fruits. Ten trees in the apple orchard have begun to bear apples. Although there are not many, each tree has eight or nine, which are red and big and look pleasing to the eye.

Afraid of being stolen, Yang Hu and Gou Sheng lived in a shed next to the orchard at night.

Gou Sheng was a dog bought by Yang Hu to guard the orchard with him.

That's a female dog, and Heiwa likes to play with it the most.
