Chapter 212: Raising Pigeons
"Your Highness, Wuwei has been injured so badly, he cannot be saved. I want to cut off one of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui's arms."
When Ye Jintang finished speaking, Xiao Mo was startled and looked at her in surprise.
"You mean?"
There are many important officials in the court among Noble Consort Dehui's followers. If Ye Jintang kills one of them, the capital will be in turmoil.
"Noble Consort Dehui has a Nanny Hua by her side, who has always been helping her with her plans. If Nanny Hua can be eliminated, she will have no one to give her advice, so naturally, some things will be more likely to go wrong."
Xiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not an important official in the court.
"After we leave the capital, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will confront Ye Yanran. If we want to get rid of Madam Yao, we must also get rid of someone close to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. Only in this way can the two of them fight for a long time."
"If we let one side win, I'm afraid they will focus on us again."
In the current situation, the Qin Palace is at a disadvantage. They need time to develop and cultivate their own power. Only when they are strong enough can they live freely.
At this moment, Ye Jintang did not realize that when she was thinking about her future life, she had already taken Xiao Mo into account. Subconsciously, she felt that the two of them were a whole.
I have to say that Xiao Mo's method of boiling a frog in warm water is really good. Before Ye Jintang knew it, he was slowly approaching him.
"Madame Hua is an old lady in the palace. She usually serves Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. It is not easy to kill her."
"We can kill with a borrowed knife."
"Last time, the prince said that he saw Madam Hua in contact with foreign merchants. Why not leave some evidence for Madam Hua when we are assassinated? By then, even if the matter is suppressed by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, Madam Hua will not be able to stay in front of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
"She knows so much about Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, and she can only die quietly in the end. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will not let her fall into the hands of others."
"What a good trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife. This can be said to be letting Imperial Noble Consort Dehui cut off her own arm."
Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang with approval, "I will send someone to forge a letter from Nanny Hua right now."
“Will there be any flaws in the handwriting?”
"Don't worry, since it's a fake, I will make it so that no one can tell the real thing from the fake. Besides, I'm afraid no one will care about the authenticity by then, and everyone will think that it was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui who murdered me."
If it was in the past, it might be a little difficult, but Ye Jintang has completely stripped off the fig leaf of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui recently. Everyone in the capital knows that she doesn't like Xiao Mo, and she has even been treating him harshly in both open and covert ways.
It has to be said that if it weren't for Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo, who schemed against Imperial Noble Consort Dehui step by step, she would definitely not have fallen into this quagmire with her intelligence.
In the original novel, Noble Consort Dehui was the most powerful villain in the early stage. Even Ye Yanran was suppressed by her and had no power to fight back.
While Ye Jintang was waiting for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to send someone to assassinate her, she was busy with the things at hand.
Ever since Shi Bin's people helped her with business, she truly realized how big the Tianqin Kingdom was.
Normally, all correspondence was sent through the post stations, and even if the letters were sent through the Wen family's trade route, the speed was very slow.
Those who could get a reply within three to five days were all near the capital. Even to the slightly farther Quyang Prefecture, it would take eight or nine days or even longer.
This communication speed is really maddening.
Sometimes, knowing the latest news can help you grasp the situation. Whether you are in business or politics, it is extremely important to be well-informed.
After much thought, Ye Jintang decided to raise a team of carrier pigeons specifically for delivering letters.
Whether you run on two legs or four legs, you can't outrun an animal with wings.
There are homing pigeons in the Qin Palace, but the number is small, and even fewer are good homing pigeons that can be trained. They are usually only used in wars.
Ye Jintang went to get some small homing pigeons to raise. Whenever she had time on weekdays, she would put the small homing pigeons into the space, and the grains she used to feed them were also produced in the space.
After a few days of raising them like this, the first batch of pigeons will reach adulthood.
The homing pigeons that have lived in the space are all very smart and can even understand human language. For this reason, Ye Jintang specially found a master who trains homing pigeons. She must deliver the trained homing pigeons to various shops within a short period of time.
From now on, all information will be sent and received via carrier pigeons.
Ye Jintang sent two of the first batch of carrier pigeons to Mr. Wen, but she received a reply two days later.
"I never thought that the homing pigeons I raised could fly so fast. They could fly from Xingnan to the capital in two days."
Seeing the message in the letter that Mr. Wen was fine, Ye Jintang was extremely happy.
Xiao Mo, who was sitting nearby, looked at the carrier pigeon.
"Jintang, how do you raise homing pigeons? They look much stronger than ordinary homing pigeons."
The carrier pigeon standing on the windowsill and happily eating grains suddenly raised its head and looked at Xiao Mo vigilantly.
"Your Majesty, why do I feel that you look at the pigeon with an unfriendly look? Are you planning to stew it?"
As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, the carrier pigeon, which did not even eat the grains, immediately flapped its wings and flew away, fearing that it would fly too slowly and be cooked by the man in front of it.
"Nothing."
Xiao Mo was very embarrassed but was thinking in his mind that such a fat pigeon was just right for stewing in a casserole.
"I have raised these pigeons with great difficulty. If anyone dares to eat them, I will never let him off easily."
"I know, I know. Jintang, have you sent carrier pigeons to the twenty or so cities we are going to?"
"I have sent someone to deliver it as quickly as possible. It will be easy for us to exchange letters from now on."
Xiao Mo said thoughtfully, "I don't know if your pigeons can withstand the long journey and bad weather."
If the pigeons can stand the test, they will be of great use to him in the future.
These days, Ye Jintang not only raised carrier pigeons, but also remade rouge and powder and asked Wen Ziqiu to take them to the south to sell.
In Yuchun Hall, Ye Jintang gave the newly made rouge and powder to Master Mu. Since she was an apprentice, naturally any good things would be presented to her master first.
"Jintang, you are really multi-talented."
"I was wondering why you suddenly asked me about the properties of some medicinal herbs a few days ago. It turns out you wanted to add them to your rouge and powder."
"I am not very good at learning, so I will have to trouble you from time to time in the future."
With a smile on her face, Ye Jintang handed a box of cherry-colored lipstick to Master Mu.
"Master, how about trying this color?"
Aunt Mu took the lipstick and tried the color on her wrist. She felt that the lipstick was warm and not dry at all, and the color was extremely bright.
"If you wait a few seconds, the lip balm will form a film on your lips, and the color of the lip balm will not fade easily when you drink water or eat on weekdays."
"So magical?"
After a while, Master Mu rubbed the lipstick on her wrist with her fingers. Just as Ye Jintang said, it could not be rubbed off with just a light rub.
