Everyone didn't speak for a while, and it was almost noon, even in a resort like Yujin Garden, you could still feel the heat in the air.

Suddenly, an elegant voice sounded in Shu E's ears: "If you are as you say, if you have such an expert, you can not only open such a silk sachet with exquisite embroidery, and put into it the things that don't know what the Tao is and can harm people, but naturally you can also open the sachet again and take out those things." There's really nothing to worry about at the moment. ”

Shang Cairen's voice was not high, and her tone was elegant and gentle, but her voice with a slightly ethereal feeling, like a wild goose chirping across the clear and lofty sky after the autumn rain, attracted everyone's attention. And such an extremely complicated remark not only caused several young palace concubines and maids to cover their mouths and chuckle, but also clearly pointed out to everyone that there were still flaws in Qiantao's words.

Shu E listened to Shang Cairen speak to help her, and she was also very grateful in her heart.

The cold voice of the Qin beauty in her ears sounded again: "The marriage between the two families of Cao Shang has been harmonious, and Shangcai treats Mrs. Yongan much better." Shang Cairen's words were also very reasonable, but everyone immediately thought that the Cao and Shang families were in-laws.

Shang Cairen said lightly: "I'm just thinking about it according to Miss Qiantao's reasoning." ”

"Isn't the words of Shang Cairen reasonable? It's just that the slave has other thoughts in her heart. Qian Tao's voice trembled a little, she must have been nervous and excited, and her speed of speech became significantly faster: "When Mrs. Yong'an first came to Yujin Garden, it was impossible to find out what was in the sachet, but at this moment she had to ask what was in it. My Jieyu lady's things happened suddenly today, presumably the things in this sachet have not had time to be replaced. ”

"In your opinion, what's in this sachet?" He asked suddenly.

Shu E's body couldn't help but lean back, Hua Fu gently supported Shu E, but heard Qian Tao gritted her teeth word by word and said, "In this sachet, there must be musk." ”

When Qin Meiren heard this, she couldn't help but lift a water-red soft silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. The flowers outlined by a gold and silver thread in the corner of Pajiao are strange and stunning. The palace concubines also had more or less nervous expressions on their faces.

Musk.

These two words flashed through Shu E's mind like lightning. Things that were originally shadowy and unseeable in the dark also became clear at this moment. Although the light was fleeting, it was no longer as clueless as Fang Cai.

The tight breath in Shu E's chest was slightly relieved, looking at the posture of the Qin beauty covering her nose, as well as the moving and unknown flower, the hand that had been clenched slowly loosened. The musk obtained was only the size of a little finger, and more than half of it was put into the medicinal wine, and the small half was given to Hua Fu to put away and put in his dressing drawer.

Even if the remaining small half, the small half the size of a soybean, is only three or four minutes in weight, and it is really put into this sachet, it must not be within four or five days, just sitting with Yang Jieyu for a few hours a day, it can cause her to have a miscarriage.

It's just that I still have a suspense in my heart about whether there is realgar in the sachet.

"Is there a must or is it a girl's selfish speculation?" Someone suddenly spoke behind Shu E's ear.

A pair of slender feet wearing blue floral shoes walked out from behind Shu E, a light blue skirt, a moon-white shirt, and a sleeveless purple gown on the outside. The man walked to the front, saluted Lu Shang, and stood beside Shu E, looking at Qian Tao who was kneeling on the ground.

Hua Fu's clothes are very simple and capable, and her demeanor is appropriate, and such a question makes Shu E feel more stable.

Qian Tao turned her head to look at Shu E and Hua Fu, her eyes still burning.

Without waiting for Qian Tao to speak, Shu E took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Back to the imperial concubine, the emperor, the queen, the slave maid did receive musk from the pharmacy five days ago. ”

Whispers of surprise, abruptness, fear, disgust, and regret all came from all directions at this moment. The piano beauty even stood up with the maid's hand, and the veil tightly covered her mouth and nose.

The emperor nodded and said, "You get up first." ”

The queen looked at the emperor, and the faint smile on the corner of her lips was soft and warm, as if the mother heard some ignorant and ridiculous question from her young son: "The emperor looks worried about Sister Qin." Precious spices have always been musky. I still remember that when we first entered the palace, there was a box of sweet dream incense paid tribute by the Khotanese envoy in the tribute, because the musk taken from the horse musk deer was used, the fragrance was particularly strong and special. ”

The queen and the qin beauty entered the palace at the same time, when the queen was thirteen years old, and the qin beauty was the age of the queen. It's just that the queen's position is noble, and she has always been called "Qin Beauty", and today she still calls Qin Beauty "sister", which must be the name of the old days. Shu E knew that at this moment, the queen deliberately proposed that this dream was sweet and fragrant, and it must have a deep meaning.

Sure enough, the emperor said: "Because the musk used in this box of incense is of the highest quality, the concubines and Sister Qin both like it." The concubine still remembered that the emperor later found two identical fine porcelain incense boxes and divided half of them for each of us. Sister Qin especially loves to burn this incense, and she also prepares it with the bureau, but it's a pity that the musk in the imperial pharmacy is not so fragrant. I don't know if Sister Qin remembers? ”

Qin Meiren looked at the queen, a special look flashed in her eyes, and then said indifferently: "Of course I remember." ”

The queen looked around at everyone, her eyes moved to Liao Jingzhi, and asked, "I heard that Liao Yuzhi also likes to play with spices, and knows a lot of recipes that have been passed down since ancient times?" ”

Liao Jingzhi's expression was as peaceful and quiet as usual, and Fu Yifu said: "Queen Mingjian, the Han and Tang dynasties, there are many famous incense handed down. All the precious ones in the incense have musk. It's just that musk is not easy to come by, and it can't be used easily. ”

The queen's thick black hair is combed into a peony bun, and six pairs of golden flowers the size of apricot kernels are inserted on the left and right sides of the bun, and there is a little rainbow of agate on the forehead, and there is nothing else. Rich but not complicated, more and more appear fair complexion, picturesque eyebrows, dignified bearing, and generous. The queen bowed her head slightly when she heard this, and the agate on her forehead trembled slightly.

He nodded and said: "Not only spices, but also good rouge, incense powder, and head oil, with a special and long-lasting fragrance, all have musk." ”

"This Hanlin worship is a bit of a face." The queen said to Imperial Doctor Geng, who was standing in the corner with his hands down.

Imperial Doctor Geng hurriedly came over to salute, "Xiaguan Hanlin Medical Officer's Hospital is dedicated to Hanlin Good Doctor [Note] Geng Zhengfeng, who has only been serving in Hanlin Medical Institution for two years. ”

"Imperial Doctor Geng", the queen called: "Pregnant people should avoid musk, but a small amount of sachet can cause miscarriage in a few days?" ”

Geng Zhengfeng hurriedly saluted and said: "Back to the queen, the musk opens the body and passes through the meridians, and the blood is dispersed...... Induce labor and lower fetus. How much is contained in the spice...... Whether it can cause miscarriage or not varies from person to person, and the lower officials dare not assert it. Yang Jieyu lost money after giving birth, maybe ......"
