Chapter 591: Revealed
Under an order, the corners of Rong Xi's mouth curled slightly, and he continued: "Father, the son thinks that since this medicine was lured by Princess Qi to drink it to her mother, and she herself has been drinking it for many years, then, in the Qi Palace, in the courtyard where she lives, she will definitely find the same medicine," her gaze slid over those small bamboo baskets, "If you can find the same as these, then it will be." ”
The emperor nodded, this is indeed a method, if you can find that medicine, you will be able to prove what Wei Guifei said, just now I was in a hurry, and I forgot about this easiest way.
He waved his hand, and Gonggong Su beside him immediately stepped forward, leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty." ”
"Send reliable people to go, remember, don't alarm the others, just check the courtyard where Princess Qi is." The emperor said after a long silence.
"Yes." Father-in-law Su immediately nodded and went down to arrange manpower.
Leng Yiwei watched coldly, a slight coolness appeared in his heart, something happened suddenly, he came to the palace in a hurry, and he didn't make any more arrangements at all, if what Rong Xi said was true, if he sent someone to check it, then ...... Everyone here will know why Murong Shi died.
She...... Is it really like what Rong Xi said, because of this marriage, because of marrying himself, he was angry with Wei Guifei? Thinking of her coldness before, as well as the almost transparent skin, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, could it be ...... She really ......
At the moment when he was thinking, Gonggong Su had already asked Jiang Ming to take people to the Qi Palace.
Rong Xi saw this qiē in her eyes, and her heart moved slightly, at this time, the emperor did not send out the angry dragon guard, and today he did not see the angry dragon guard who usually did not leave her three meters away, could it be ...... Hasn't the angry dragon guard still come out of the strict court and return to the normal establishment?
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Leng Yixiu, Leng Yixiu felt something, and also looked at her, the eyes of the two people collided, and they saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
Angry Dragon Guard has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he is also the most trusted personal guard, and just because of that Zhang Ping, he beat all the people back to their original form, and was interrogated one by one in the cruel place where they came to the court.
Taking advantage of this gap, Rongxi Xiao'er gave a look, Xiao'er looked at the woman next to her slightly sideways, the woman took two steps back, and happened to stand with the maid-in-law who was standing at the door of the small kitchen, and Xiao'er walked over with the fetal pills.
Rong Xi's eyes turned slightly, but his eyes never left the woman who came with Xiao'er, the woman turned her eyes and saw Cai Qiang on the side, her eyes were facing each other, and Cai Qiang's round eyes suddenly shook.
Cai Qiang pursed her lips and quietly leaned closer to the woman, she shook the fingers under her sleeve and pursed her lips tightly, as if she was making a decision.
Finally, she slowly reached out and hooked her fingers on the woman's, and lightly scribbled a few words on her palm.
The woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly replied a few.
Cai Qiang's face changed, and the color of blood seemed to recede in an instant, like a pale and fragile piece of paper, as if it would disappear at the touch of it. Her gaze slowly turned, inch by inch, as if she was very forced, looking in the direction where Murong Shi was, and the facial features on her face seemed to be squeezed together, soaked in endless pain.
It seemed that soon, and as if a long time had passed, Cai Qiang slowly withdrew her gaze, and scratched something in the woman's hand again, the woman hung her head, writing little by little, Cai Qiang only felt that the fingers were hot, and her palm was cold, every time she touched it, she had an urge to cry out in pain.
One stroke at a time, it is like engraved in the heart.
It was still very quiet, even the sound of the wind had stopped, the branches in the courtyard did not move, even the leaves seemed to be still, the moonlight was blocked by faint clouds, only a hazy and dim light was cast, and the stars on the horizon seemed to have disappeared into the clouds, and the light was no longer bright.
The torches were rising and burning in the courtyard, and the candles in the lanterns were burning vigorously, and the courtyard was still very bright, so bright that people's eyes were a little bright.
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, his face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, he couldn't see what he was thinking, his dragon robe shone with a cold light in the firelight, the five-clawed golden dragon on his body opened his eyes angrily, and the sharp claws seemed to be shining with crystal light, as if he would break free in the next moment.
Rong Xi lowered her eyes, but her eyes did not relax for a moment, Cai Qiang's reaction was all expected by her, as long as she grabbed her weakness, it would become easier as soon as she could.
She was waiting, waiting for the limit of the harvest.
Finally, Cai Qiang bit her lip tightly, and there were clear tooth marks on her bloodless lips, she withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes and looked at her hand, there was nothing on it, but just now she wrote a hot thing that frightened her.
The emperor was closing his eyes and thinking, when he suddenly heard a few sobs, this sobbing was not loud, but it sounded very clear inside and outside the silent hall at this time.
He opened his eyes, and the eyes of many others were looking for the sobbing voice.
Only Rong Xi withdrew his eyes at this time.
And Leng Yixiu looked at her at the first moment, and the eyes of the two people met.
Leng Yixiu hasn't said anything since he came, that's because he saw Rong Xi's eyes for the first time, and she conveyed two meanings to him, first, she was very good; Second, don't say anything, it's important to protect yourself at this time.
The trust in Rong Xi suppressed the idea of making him want to say something.
"Who?" The Emperor asked, frowning.
Father-in-law Su immediately shook off the dust and stepped forward, pointing at the picker, "You, come out!" ”
Cai Qiang wiped her tears and walked out of the crowd, and as Gonggong Su walked in front of the emperor step by step, she knelt down with a "plop" and "the emperor ......"
"Who are you?" The Emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor's words, slave maid...... The slave maid is the cook in the small kitchen of the concubine Niangniang. The voice of Cai Qiang trembled slightly, reminiscent of the dew on the grass blades in the morning, crystal clear and clear, but at the moment of touch, it shattered.
"Oh?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, the light in his eyes was as sharp as a knife, and he scraped fiercely towards Cai Qiang, "So, have you seen these herbs?" ”
The Emperor's hand pointed to the bamboo baskets, where some herbs were neatly placed, which had been fished out of the kitchen.
Cai Qiang nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, yes, these herbs are in the kitchen, and all the palace ladies and grandmothers in the small kitchen have seen them, but they ......"
She paused, her back straightened slightly, and she seemed to have made up some kind of determination, "However, not many people recognize these herbs. ”
Everyone heard her words, and the emperor was naturally no exception, his body straightened, his hand held the arm of the chair, and the light in his eyes became brighter, "What do you know?" Let's be honest! ”
Wei Guifei's breathing tightened, the handkerchief between her fingers couldn't help but tighten tightly, the large ball of flowers on it was no longer the same, she naturally knew that this was the cook in the small kitchen, and she had been here for more than a year.
Listening to her now, she must know something, maybe there will be a turn for the better at this moment.
Cai Qiang took a breath, her fingers clenched into fists slightly, and her voice was low but clear: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave and maid will recognize a few of these medicines, and most of the medicinal food and decoction of the concubine Niangniang are usually through the hands of the slave and maid. ”
"Go on." The emperor said in a cold voice.
Rong Xi looked at Cai Qiang who was kneeling there, his eyes narrowed slightly, this Cai Qiang was a little bold, but it was just ...... It's a pity to follow the master by mistake.
Cai Qiang continued: "Your Majesty, as the imperial doctor said, there is no problem with the prescription that the concubine Niangniang obtained, but the imperial doctor also mentioned that there are two flavors of medicine that are extremely ingenious, which is also true. ”
Imperial Physician Zhang, who said this, nodded, which was also the first impression this recipe gave him.
"These two herbs are the key," Cai Qiang smiled bitterly, "When the concubine used this recipe before, it was really just to nourish the woman's body, which is good for the body, but since the slave maid came, things have been different, because the slave maid brought that." ”
She stretched out her finger, her fingertips were like knives, pointing to one of the bamboo baskets, and everyone's eyes looked for her fingers, and in that basket were some lumpy things, dark blue, like a pool of deep-sea water frozen into ice, so blue that it was almost black, flashing with a strange dark light, faint and faint, making people's hearts beat.
"What's that?" The Emperor looked at the thing, and his intuition was the key.
Imperial Physician Zhang picked up one of them, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, and a faint sour smell spread under the tip of his nose.
However, he didn't recognize it, so he could only shake his head at the emperor.
Rong Xi couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, no wonder these imperial doctors didn't recognize them, let alone them, even Li Haijiang didn't recognize them at the beginning, but he found them only when he rummaged through the medical books later, Li Haijiang's medical books are treasures collected for many years, although there are many medical books in the Tai Hospital, they are not necessarily better than Li Haijiang's.
Cai Qiang's voice was clear, with a faint bitterness, "This thing is from the South China Sea, a kind of thing produced in the sea, its formation is similar to pearls, the difference is that pearls are generated by mussels, and this thing is generated by a fish-eating plant, every time you eat fish, it secretes a mucus-like thing, and over time, the years accumulate, and it becomes this appearance." ”
This kind of statement, this kind of thing, everyone has never heard of, never seen it, the first time I heard it, I only felt a chill in my heart, I couldn't help but be stunned there, and I instantly understood that this thing is really not good.
Wei Guifei listened, her face couldn't help but turn pale, thinking about how long this picker had been here and how long she had eaten this thing, and she couldn't help but feel sick for a while.
