Chapter 303: Too Much Is as Bad as Too Little
Yaoyao was so worried that she even slapped him.
This is the reason why Qin Yuling chose Xia Qingsong!
It's not that I'm in love with him, but I can't live without him. It turns out that he is the easiest to control.
But there was still one thing he didn't understand: how did Xu Mingxi know that Qin Yuling would be sent to Nanyuan to marry?
If they had been prepared in advance, if the marriage was real, and Qin Yuling had obtained the marriage contract, then the only princess left to marry would be his biological sister, Qin Lingruo!!!
Qin Xingyue just felt that Qin Yuling was really good at it, hurting and plotting against the two people he loved most at once.
His eyes contained a cold light, and with a little force, a small piece of rockery that his palm touched shattered into powder, which fell to the ground in pieces.
Nan Yuan did submit a letter, requesting to be sent on a diplomatic mission before the end of the year. This morning in the study, when the emperor handed him the letter, he learned the news for the first time.
However, the letter did not mention anything about the marriage. How could Xu Mingxi, a woman from the inner house, know so much about this matter?
It seemed to guide Qin Yuling to make advance deployment.
Qin Yuechuan had experienced this strange feeling before. What was going on?
Thinking of Qin Yuechuan, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Although Qin Yuechuan had discussed this with him first and solemnly assured him that nothing would happen and it was just a show, the blood-stained scraps of cloth that Liu Ming found a few days ago were indeed his clothes.
The bloodstains on it don't look fake.
Was this part of his plan, or had something gone wrong?
I heard that Liu Ming disappeared after chasing him to the cliff. We are searching now and I don’t know what news we can bring back.
This Qin Yuechuan! Where is he hiding?
Leaving him here to stabilize the power, where can he and his princess go to live happily?
He rubbed his brows and muttered to himself: "Forget it, now I have to solve Xia Qingsong's problem as soon as possible. Yaoyao is still waiting."
"Qin Yuling, since you want to choose a prince consort, I will let you choose easily!"
"You are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust."
Over in the plum garden, Qin Yuling happily picked a number of red and white plum blossoms, held them in her arms, and happily discussed with Xu Mingxi which ones to make into vases, which ones to make into pastries, and which ones to make into incense.
Xu Mingxi just responded indifferently and seemed to be uninterested.
"Xi'er, you haven't had enough rest recently, have you? I see that you look much more haggard."
"It's okay. I just have insomnia and nightmares since my mother passed away. It's nothing serious."
"I recently got a new recipe and made some sleeping incense. I'll give you some. You can use it yourself and see how it works."
"No need. I have plenty of calming incense in my room, which I burn every day."
"Burn it every day?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Qin Yuling disagreed, "Although the name of calming incense is calming, if you use too much of some incense, it may be counterproductive and not help you sleep.
I heard you say that you use it every day, but you are still so haggard. I am afraid that too much is as bad as too little."
"Too much is as bad as too little... it will backfire..."
Because of her words, Xu Mingxi's thoughts seemed to be enlightened.
Some ideas are about to pop up in my mind, but I can't grasp the thread of my thoughts or figure out any clues for a moment.
His eyes were fixed on a certain place, and he just kept repeating this sentence in a daze: "Too much is as bad as too little... it will be counterproductive..."
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Am I wrong? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with your calming incense? Is it the kind I mentioned?"
"...The kind you mentioned..."
Xu Mingxi's mind gradually became clearer. She recalled that when Yang was still alive, she seemed to have been using the same calming incense before going to Puji Temple.
Strictly speaking, all of Yang's symptoms started when that incense was burned.
I had nightmares every night and couldn't sleep well, and my physical and mental health was getting worse.
So, there must be something wrong with that incense!
Thinking of this, she had no time to explain to Qin Yuling. She stuffed all the plum blossoms in her arms into Qin Yuling's arms, picked up the hem of her skirt, turned around and ran away.
Some things require her to wait for confirmation!
Without bothering to respond to the call behind him, Xu Mingxi walked straight out of the palace gate, got on the Xu Mansion's carriage, and called out urgently:
"Go back home! Now! Quick!"
The coachman didn't know what had happened to her and she was in such a hurry, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just followed her orders and rushed to Xu's house without stopping.
That fragrance, that fragrance, I wonder if there is any left.
When her mother was buried a few days ago, she packed up all of her mother's favorite things and buried them with her, which seemed to include the incense.
But if there was something wrong with the incense, it might be the main reason why my mother had nightmares every night. And all the abnormalities started with my mother's nightmares and hallucinations at night!
So, there must be something wrong with that incense!
She didn't know if there was any left in the house. In recent days, she had not ordered the servants to clean up the traces of her mother's room.
With those traces, she always felt that her mother was still alive, but she was just away on a long journey and didn't know when she would return!
"Second Miss, we're here!"
Xu Mingxi lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and went straight to Yang's bedroom.
He stumbled and pushed open the bedroom door, looking around, muttering: "That fragrance, that fragrance..."
See the peach-shaped incense burner with honeysuckle pattern and a handle in the corner. It was often used by Yang when she was alive!
He rushed forward and opened it, hoping that some embers might be preserved, which would at least be a trace of evidence for inspection.
However, there was nothing inside, not even a trace of ash.
Xu Mingxi shouted angrily, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you that the house shouldn't be cleaned easily when my mother was alive? You guys, why don't you even listen to me?"
The servant standing in the room knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Second Miss, we didn't act on our own initiative. It was the master who asked us to do this."
"Daddy?"
"Yes, the master asked us to clean up any traces left by the lady carefully and check them carefully. If there are any secret letters, they must be sent to his study."
"Ah!"
Xu Mingxi laughed out of anger. Until this moment, Xu Guanghai still refused to completely believe Yang's innocence.
His wife of more than ten years is certain that she is involved with someone else, and he is determined to find the "hidden" evidence!
I wonder how sad my mother would be if she knew about this!
"Have you cleaned everything? Have you checked everything?"
The servant remained kneeling, not daring to look up, and replied, "Yes."
Xu Mingxi was disheartened and was about to turn around when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the copper aromatherapy ball hanging beside the couch. It was less than half an inch in diameter and did not look like it could hide a letter.
perhaps--
Xu Mingxi turned around and went back to the couch, took down the copper ball, and through the hollow carved texture, he was surprised to find that there was indeed a small incense pill inside.
Taking a closer sniff, it seemed to be the same perfume she had been using some time ago.
