Chapter 149: Bad Intentions
After the banquet was over, it was already Shen Shi, and Su Miao and Song Chen still followed the rest of the Jingwang Mansion back as they did when they came. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Separated from the others one by one, Su Miao planned to go back to her Jade Xuan to rest first, anyway, if she wanted to enter the palace again, it would be at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, so it was convenient to act, it was still early, it was better to recuperate first.
But Su Miao had just entered the Jade Xuan, and Song Chen also walked in, and he grabbed her: "Miaomiao, let's go!" β
"Let's go?" Su Miao looked at the sky, it was just starting to get dark, "It's still early, right?" Didn't you say that after the results of the palace banquet, the emperor would take a look at those birthday gifts first, and then put them into the warehouse? Will you meet him in the past? It's so cold, it's not fun to blow the wind on the roof! "According to their plan, it should be after nightfall, almost at the end of the day, isn't it?
Song Chen smiled lightly and pulled Su Miaofei onto the roof: "You don't have to sneak in this time......
According to Song Chen's prediction, it was originally as Su Miao thought, that is, he sneaked into the warehouse after late at night to see that He Shou Wu, first to determine if it was the one they saw in the Eagle Kingdom Royal Medicine Garden, and then decided whether to tell Song Hengyuan or not. But when the banquet was just over, the little eunuch who showed them the way took advantage of the excitement and everyone didn't pay attention, and secretly stuffed a small note for him......
Song Chen had already quickly read the note when he had just followed Su Miao into the Jade Pavilion, which was the words that Song Hengyuan had passed on to him. Song Hengyuan is a good hand at observing words and feelings, when He Shouwu showed it, the first thing he went to see was the look of Su Miao, who knew how to do it, so the subtle look between Su Miao and Song Chen at that time was also seen by him, and he saw that there could be some problems in this, so he asked Song Chen to take Su Miao secretly into the palace after returning to King Jing's Mansion.
"The Emperor also sensed that something was wrong?" That Song Hengyuan's feelings are quite keen.
"After all, the Eagle Kingdom has never had good intentions towards Dalan." Song Chen was not surprised at all, "How could Feng Qingyuan be so kind and send someone to congratulate him sincerely?" Besides, although this He Shou Wu is very large, it is normal for the people to present it to their emperor by the people, but it is a bit strange to use it as a national gift. β
"National gifts are either given something distinctive that can represent a country, or the value is so high that it has overshadowed the characteristics. But this time in the Eagle Country, it is abnormal: first, He Shou Wu is not a very valuable medicinal material, and the value of such a large He Shou Wu is not at all comparable to the ginseng that is only one hundred times as large as it. Second, He Shou Wu is native to my Dalan, and it cannot represent the characteristics of the Eagle Country! β
"Well, it looks like it was sent to satirize the emperor." Su Miao nodded honestly.
"You have a point. In the eyes of most people, this He Shou Wu as a gift is a bit ironic. Song Chen understood what Su Miao meant, "If we hadn't had that encounter in the Eagle Country last year, we would have thought like ordinary people that the Eagle Country sent a He Shou Wu native to Dalan and grew so big, isn't it ironic that our Dalan can't retain talents, and those talents are dug up to the Eagle Country, but they shine?" β
"That Feng Qingyuan is really too insidious." Su Miao remembered that she didn't feel well when she first saw Feng Qingyuan, and that person had a gloomy aura all over his body, even though he seemed to be smiling.
"I don't quite understand either." Song Chen shook his head, "The Eagle Kingdom always seems to have a malicious attitude towards Dalan, according to the history of Dalan for so long, there has never been any head-on conflict with the Eagle Country!" β
With questions in their hearts, Song Chen and Su Miao set off from King Jing's Mansion and flew over half of the Snow Lan City, and after a cup of tea, their figures fell to the door of the imperial study.
Probably because Song Hengyuan had already ordered, there was not even a guard at the door of the imperial study at this time, there was a candle lit inside, and a silhouette could be seen behind the screen.
Song Chen stretched out his hand and knocked on the open door, the sound was not loud, but the people inside immediately reacted, the original sitting figure stood up and walked out of the screen, it was Song Hengyuan: "You are here?" β
Song Chen and Su Miao nodded, and were about to salute, but were stopped by Song Hengyuan. While leading the two of them in, he said straight to the point: "Do you think there is anything wrong with the gift given by the Eagle Kingdom this time?" β
Su Miao looked at Song Chen, who nodded at her.
In front of others, most of the work of talking was opened by Su Miao, and she told what happened in the Royal Medicine Garden of the Eagle Country last year: "...... Originally, I was only suspicious at the time, but when we went to Haiguo, we found a poisonous fish, and I was sure after I came into contact with the poison. But the antidote to that poison has been adjusted, and Lin Yi has already given it to you, right? Even if this He Shou Wu really has that kind of poison, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of-"
When Su Miao said this, she saw that Song Hengyuan not only did not let go of his worries, but his face became more and more solemn: "Does the emperor think there is anything wrong?" β
"The antidote has indeed been received." Song Hengyuan motioned for Su Miao and Song Chen to sit casually, and he also sat down behind the bookcase, "And the antidote has been made." The list you sent back last year has been investigated in detail, and some of them are just because they are controlled by poison and cannot be disobeyed, and the imperial court has detoxified them for them. Some others who have indeed rebelled have also taken down Yan Faluo...... It's just that one of them somehow got the news in advance and escaped. β
"You mean to say that this fish that escaped should have gone to the Eagle Country?" Song Chen understood what Song Hengyuan meant, "So, the Eagle Kingdom has actually gotten the news and knows that we already have an antidote that can deal with that kind of poison?" Still, they sent the stuffβ"
"That's right." Song Hengyuan nodded, this is the reason why people are confused and uneasy.
"Anyway, I'll try that He Shou Wu first." Su Miao is a man of action, "Where are the things?" β
"It's all in that room." Song Hengyuan pointed to a room connected to the imperial study, just in front of the bookcase, where there was a door, "I haven't gone to see it yet." β
"You're doing the right thing." Su Miao stood up, "Don't come in, I'll take a look first." β
After thinking about it, Su Miao turned back to Song Hengyuan and said, "I need a charcoal stove, a glass jar, and some water." β
"Yes." Song Hengyuan beckoned, and a man dressed in black came out of the dark shadow in the room, bowed down and stood in front of Song Hengyuan, who said to him, "Do as this girl tells him." β
The shadow flashed and vanished.
Su Miao and Song Chen were not surprised when they noticed that there were other people in the room.
The three things were quickly brought back by the man in black, and Su Miao asked them to continue to sit outside, and she carried the things alone into the room where the birthday gift was placed.
Song Chen and Song Hengyuan were talking while drinking tea outside, and after waiting for about an hour, Su Miao rubbed her neck and walked out of it.
Song Chen and Song Hengyuan immediately stood up.
Song Chen took a few steps forward, took the glass jar in Su Miao's hand with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to her neck and kneaded it a few times: "How is it?" Is it uncomfortable? β
"Something is wrong." Su Miao replied to the question, "Unlike what Xiaobai cut out at that time, this He Shou Wu has been smoked, and the smell of poison is almost inaudible." I cut a small piece and fried it with water, only to detect a trace of toxicity, in terms of this toxicity, eating the whole He Shou Wu can reach the level of hurting people's lives. But who would need to eat such a large He Shou Wu? β
"So what?" Song Chen knew Su Miao, and he knew that there was something to be done about this matter by looking at her expression. And just testing He Shou Wu and decoction was not enough to take her so much time.
"So, I checked all the gifts that had been sent to me." Su Miao pointed to the room that had just been closed by her, "If there is a problem, I will put it aside." β
"In addition to the He Shou Wu sent by the Eagle Country, there are also birthday gifts sent by several countries that can be found to contain herbal ingredients. Do you remember the yellow essence sent by the Quilin Kingdom? It is also much larger than the ordinary yellow essence. Su Miao counted carefully, as long as it was not relative to the human face, her memory was also amazing, "There is also the alpine black tea sent by Hetu, which is mixed with a kind of panna leaf, which is nine points similar in appearance to alpine black tea, and it is even more difficult to distinguish after stir-frying, but panna leaf is poisonous." β
"An ivory miniature sculpture from Mischief with a black reed grass ingredient attached to it. It is possible that in the process of carving, black reed grass was used to smoke. The toxicity of the black reed grass is very weak and does not cause a great effect on people, but the adhesion is very strong, and when a person comes into contact with it, it will remain in the human body for a short time, well, two or three years. β
"Ethan sent a coral tree, right? This coral tree has the ingredient of celestial star wood, which should have been smoked with celestial star wood like the ivory miniature carving. Tianxingmu is also slightly toxic, and its adhesion is weaker and stronger than that of black reed grass. β
The conclusion was, Su Miao spread his hands: "Tianxingmu, Wulu grass, Panorama leaf, Yellow Essence, and He Shou Wu with a trace amount of poison, the toxicity of these five things is slight, and ordinary pharmacists will ignore them." But if these five poisons are taken at the same time, they will interact with each other in the human body to form a completely new poison. Lethal. β
When Su Miao said the same, Song Hengyuan's face had begun to slowly change, and when he heard her final conclusion, Song Hengyuan sat on his dragon chair in a daze, feeling that half of the strength in his body had been drained. He looked at Song Chen and Su Miao: "When I just saw the birthday ceremony today, my plan was: the ivory miniature carving is placed in the imperial study, and you can play with it from time to time; The coral tree was given to the queen, and she loved it the most; Alpine black tea, Qin Guifei and I both love to drink; And He Shou Wu and Huang Jing, Chen Guifei likes to let people stew and drink, saying that it can maintain the appearance of ...... ageless" (to be continued.) )
