Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

"Do you think I'm one of your concubines? Don't keep me in suspense!" Qin Feng'an urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Su Feiran spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, actually the truth is not that magical. I just sprayed some fixative on the painting."

"Fixed painting liquid?" Qin Feng'an frowned. "Where can we find such a thing in the palace?"

Su Feiran glanced at him and said, "Be realistic! We can't expect everything to be ready-made in this place. Of course, I made the fixative myself."

Qin Fengan thought to himself, when the three of you used magic to fight each other at the shareholders' meeting, why didn't you say "be more realistic"?

"Modern painters often add alcohol to white glue when making their own fixing fluid. Spraying this fixing fluid on the painting can make the color of the painting harder to fade, and can also prevent dust from sticking to the painting and damaging the painting and paper." Su Feiran didn't notice Qin Fengan's complicated look and continued, "I definitely can't make white glue, so I used a more traditional material - rosin. Mix rosin and alcohol in a ratio of 1:6, stir well, and spray it on the painting with a spray can to achieve the effect of fixing fluid."

Qin Feng'an understood, but there was still one thing he didn't understand:

"Rosin is easy to find, but where did you get the alcohol?"

As we all know, there was no distillation technology in ancient times, so the alcohol content in wine was very low, which allowed the ancients to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Even the so-called strong liquor is only about 10 degrees, and Ruiao can be higher than it with great effort. If it were replaced with modern Laobaigan, I am afraid that a large number of poets who are good at writing poems after drinking would die of alcohol poisoning.

There was technology for alcohol distillation in ancient times, but it was complicated and required a lot of materials such as quicklime. Qin Fengan bet fifty cents that Su Feiran definitely didn't know this technology.

Su Feiran certainly didn't know how to do that, but she gave a satisfactory answer to Qin Fengan's question:

“Don’t seek reality in the virtual world!”

Axu, right?

Qin Fengan covered his face. The reality and rationality of the existence of this world belonged to Schrödinger. From a certain perspective, it was indeed idealism.

Su Feiran thought that there was no white glue here, so she couldn't find it; she thought there should be alcohol, so alcohol appeared.

Qin Feng'an wondered, according to this logic, his mind was full of thoughts about driving the Millennium Falcon, so why wasn't there a spaceship hovering outside the Yongning Palace?

Is there a condition for "believing"? Isn't it said that belief does not require a reason?

Qin Fengan chose to put aside this complicated topic because he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"Since you can restore the painting to its original state, why didn't you do the same at the shareholders' meeting?" Qin Feng'an asked doubtfully, "I don't believe you did it for the sake of livening up the atmosphere. You always choose the easiest way."

Su Feiran shrugged: "It's obvious that someone wants to harm me. If I really go into the gift storage room, who knows if someone's gift gets broken and they want to blame me."

Qin Fengan thought so too, so he asked, "If that's the case, who do you think did this?"

Su Feiran fell silent.

She remembered what Yuxiao said about the crabapple leaves left on the ground, and also thought of Wu Jiayan's claim of illness at noon. Perhaps she had sent someone to do something at that time.

"Is it Concubine Jia?" Su Feiran sighed heavily. After all, she had offended this big Buddha.

Qin Fengan heard the uncertainty in Su Feiran's words and asked, "What's your grudge against her?"

"I don't know if it can be called a festival..."

Su Feiran told Qin Fengan everything that had happened in Chitang Garden in the past. Qin Fengan pondered for a long time after listening.

The amount of information is a bit overwhelming and very brain-burning.

After finally getting rid of Su Feiran's brain cramps, Qin Fengan still managed to extract some useful information from Su Feiran's narration.

The relationship between Empress Xian Lin Xiuqing and Hua Tangdi is indeed very ordinary, not even plastic sisters. Hua Tangdi has all the resources and support of the Hua and Lin families, but is hostile to Lin Xiuqing who has almost nothing. Is it just because she is a direct descendant of the Lin family? This is unreasonable.

And regarding this issue, a new question has arisen.

Lin Xiuqing is the only daughter of the Lin family, so why is she not recognized by the Lin family? The only other Lin family member who interacts with Lin Xiuqing seems to be the Queen Mother, and she only helps her with minor matters. If we really talk about the Queen Mother's love for Lin Xiuqing, it may not be much, as can be seen from the fact that she recommended Wang Qian instead of Lin Xiuqing.

When talking about Wang Qian, one thing cannot be avoided - the booklet written by Concubine Jia in Chitang Garden.

After telling Su Feiran about this that day, Qin Fengan went to Dali Garden again to check the names he had secretly memorized. The owners of these names were all military generals without exception, but they held low positions, had the power to command troops but no troops at hand, and the place they guarded was not a fortress. There was no other similarity.

Why did Wu Jiayan record the names of so many unimportant generals? What was her plan? Qin Feng'an didn't believe that she just copied them casually. In his mind, Concubine Jia would not do such a meaningless thing.

These fragmentary information were like tangled threads, and the two could not figure out a logical explanation from them.

Moreover, according to Su Feiran's narration, in addition to the two major forces of Concubine Jia and Concubine Xian, there seems to be a third party whose background is unknown to both sides - the mysterious woman who appeared in Linghua Garden.

Who is that person, and why is he chatting with the foreigner? What are they talking about?

Su Feiran and Qin Fengan knew nothing about it.

If the woman was not from the palace, the situation would be more complicated, as it meant that the palace was not under control and uninvited guests could freely enter and leave the palace without being noticed. At the very least, there might be thefts in the palace; at the worst, Qin Feng'an would have to sleep with one eye open to avoid dying in obscurity.

In addition to the affairs of concubines, the affairs of the harem also concern the empress dowager.

Queen Mother...Although this woman is Qin Fengan's mother, Qin Fengan feels that there is an invisible barrier between him and her.

Perhaps because Qin Feng'an was not Lin Fei's biological child, or perhaps because Lin Fei was born in the Lin family, Qin Feng'an always had a little suspicion of this woman in his heart. Qin Feng'an didn't know how many secrets Lin Fei knew, but at least he was sure that she had deliberately concealed something from Qin Feng'an, perhaps related to the previous dynasty.

Could it be that the Lin family was secretly plotting something? Lin Fei discovered that she was a fake, so she wanted the heir of the Lin family to take her place? So the Lin family's great cause was rebellion?

It shouldn't be that bad...

Su Feiran and Qin Fengan thought of several possibilities, but failed to convince each other.

"Forget it. I'll make my own inferences after I meet the Queen Mother tomorrow at noon." Qin Feng'an said, "If I have time, I will also visit the guest from outside the region to see what explanation he can give for meeting the female guest."
