The emperor's gaze made Shu E's heart a little more pounding and a little warmer. That kind of look is not just believing, but as if no matter what you do, you will tolerate and forgive, and even help yourself.

Holding the tray is the maid of the Yan family, Liuxi, who hangs her head and holds the tray, and her posture is very courteous.

In addition to the pile of dried herbs on the push plate, there are quite a few brown powders and granules. The big ones are no bigger than mung beans, but the small ones are as thin as sand, and many of them are still stuck to the cotton.

The imperial concubine slowly stood up from the chair, and Liu Xi hurriedly walked over. The imperial concubine just looked down slightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The imperial concubine's expression suddenly became terrifyingly flat, and she couldn't see any joy or sorrow, but said lightly: "Imperial Doctor Geng, take a look." ”

Geng Zhengfeng stood up tremblingly, leaned down and sniffed, and crushed the scattered particles on his fingertips to check.

The main hall was silent and terrible for a while, and even Yang Jieyu stood up with Rouyu and Jiao Xing's hands, but she didn't make a sound.

"Back to the imperial concubine, the herbs are mint, wormwood, Wangjiangnan, and thyme, and these scattered spices are fine-leaved herbs, lilac seeds, fragrant pine, and musk." Geng Zhengfeng is the same, but he speaks very fluently.

Shu E looked at all this calmly, and Hua Fu's hands behind her were a little cold, but Shu E felt that Hua Fu was still holding herself tightly and supporting herself, even though Hua Fu already felt ominous and afraid in her heart.

Herb, cloves, pine, musk......

The corners of Shu E's mouth suddenly hooked up with a faint wry smile.

Yang Jieyu took a few steps forward as if she was drunk, and Rouyu and Jiao Xing were pushed by her sudden burst of strength and staggered. Yang Jieyu's voice was hoarse and bitter: "Shu'e ......"

Qian Tao's face was happy, and she didn't bother to get up, but just asked Imperial Doctor Geng, "What are the other three flavor herbs?" But the same medicinal properties as musk? ”

Yang Jieyu called in a low voice: "Qian Tao, don't ask." Didn't the queen say that the musk in the sachet would not be so powerful! Besides, it's only been a few days......"

Imperial Doctor Geng looked at Yang Jieyu, and then continued to Qian Tao: "These three are just ordinary spices, just ...... This musky aroma is mellow and intense, and you can tell it when you smell it......"

"If you mix these spices, the fragrance is not obvious?" Qian Tao seems to ask like this, but the intention is obvious.

Shu E looked at Yang Jieyu's surprised and heartbroken expression, and said calmly: "Early in the morning of the tenth day of the first month, I did retrieve these medicinal materials from the pharmacy. ”

He looked at the plate again and said to the emperor: "These finely chopped spices add up to only three coins. If there are spices such as fragrant herbs and cloves, then the musk in it is about half a dollar and no more than two dollars. As he spoke, he looked at Shu E again and said to the emperor: "Mrs. Yongan only took one penny, and it took six points to make medicinal wine. ”

"Mrs. Yong'an took a few dollars, how can she explain it with empty words?" Akane quickly interfaced. "On the same day, I opened it in front of Jieyu Lady in the secluded fence, there was a total of one penny, sewn into the sachet, and it looked like less than two coins, if you add some to Jieyu Niangzi's tea, the number of three coins, there is always one."

Shu E looked sideways at Qian Tao, her eyes were full of fearless colors. Shu E suddenly understood that from the "good fragrance" that Qian Tao said when she toasted to herself at the banquet, she fell into their trap step by step. No, maybe it started with Yang Jieyu's several coincidental poems, which fell on her every time.

"There are three things that can't be proved empty, why don't you finish it all at once?" Shu E only felt that her heart was gray for a while, but she didn't know why she had made a calculation.

"First of all, were the spices in the bag in the first place? Second, how did the girl know that I didn't carry musk in my luggage from Ouchi to the palace? The third thing is how much musk I took this time. "Shu'e has no fear, no surprise, just sentimentality for the conspiracy stored under the appearance of this sisterhood." Even if I prove that I only took one penny, the girl will say that she brought it with her when she went to Tamatsuen from Ouchi, right? ”

The corners of Qian Tao's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, she just said: "The slave just wants to give justice to the little prince, check it clearly, and also return your innocence to Mrs. Yongan." ”

"The green grass is full of love and apricot blossoms, and the warblers in the forest are happy." Shu E moved her lips slightly, and her voice was as light as falling flowers. Shu E walked up to the emperor and knelt down to salute, then looked at the emperor fixedly and said, "Please send someone to the Ouchi Imperial Pharmacy to find ......" said and looked at Hua Fu.

Hua Fu saw Shu E kneeling, and hurriedly knelt beside Shu E. Seeing Shu E's inquiring gaze, she immediately understood and said, "On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, I will find a note from the Chinese medical officer." ”

"Find out the strips of these four herbs taken by Hua Fu on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and see if there is any musk; I also asked the emperor to send someone to Yong'an Hall and ask Ju Dou to take out the list of spices in and out of Yong'an Hall to check whether the amount of musk left at the moment matched. At the same time, he sent someone to the small pharmacy of the palace to fetch the strips of medicine for the slave and maid. As he spoke, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and he continued: "There is another sentence, but it is inconvenient to say it at the moment." Please ask the Empress to convey it to the Emperor. ”

The queen nodded and leaned over, and Shu E said in the queen's ear. The queen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but her expression was calm. The queen conveyed Shu E's words to the emperor, but there was already a little anger in the emperor's eyes. Everyone was silent. Fang Suxin Fang Niangzi took the orders of the emperor and the queen and left.

The emperor stood up and leaned over to help Shu'e, but Shu'e had already stood up. There seemed to be a thousand words in the emperor's eyes, but he couldn't say a word at the moment, just looked at Shu E's bright eyes and nodded slowly.

Qian Tao seemed to be a little surprised by Shu E's calmness, but after the surprised look, there was a faint smile on her chest, as if she could already see Shu E's shocked face when she held the strip to take the medicine.

Time passed little by little, and everyone could only wait in silence. The imperial concubine said: "Chunxi, you go to the inner room to rest, beware of the drug attack later." ”

Before Yang Jieyu could answer, Fang Suxin Fang, who went to the Yujinyuan Pharmacy, had already rushed back. The beads of sweat on her forehead and nose, and the wet hair on her face, couldn't hide the uncertain look on her face at the moment.

Fang Niangzi handed the strip in her hand to the emperor, and the imperial concubine and the queen also looked at the strip in unison.

The emperor and the queen glanced at each other, and their expressions were as usual, and there was no special look in their eyes. However, the imperial concubine had already stood up, pointed to the strip in the emperor's hand and trembled slightly, but her face was facing Shu E, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Shu E...... Shu'e! What else do you have to say! ”

Yang Jieyu saw the look of the imperial concubine, and hurriedly got up and walked over. When I saw the note, I seemed to have seen something incredible, and I was in a daze, but my body was already shaking, and I wanted to fall.

Rouyu and Jiao Xing hurriedly rushed over, and Qian Tao didn't know where she got the strength to stand up.

Yang Jieyu ran towards Shu E as if she had suddenly gone crazy, grabbed Shu E's shoulder, stared at Shu E for a long time, tears dripping down like threads, but just said: "Shu'e, you tell me, you won't do this......"

"Chunxi!" The emperor shouted in a low voice.

Yang Jieyu looked at the emperor with a sad expression, and lost the strength to shout.

Qian Tao helped Yang Jieyu and cried: "Lady, be careful, you have lost the little prince, you can't hurt yourself anymore...... Cao Shu'e is so vicious, and the emperor will not spare her. ”
