Xu Ke followed Qu Xiaoliang into the house, and after Hua ordered Begonia, who was also woken up, to prepare tea, he also followed into the house, and while sitting down in the lower position, he said to Xu Ke: "Commander Xu, little woman, this is really a disaster!" ”

"Madame, don't worry too much." Xu Ke glanced at her and said comfortingly, "As long as you explain everything clearly to me, I believe there will be no more problems." ”

Hearing her words, Hua Shi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Does she really believe that I didn't do such a thing?" ”

The "she" in her mouth naturally refers to Qu Wurong, and Xu Ke has heard of the grievances between their Qu family, so he didn't care about her title, nodded and said: "The concubine said it, she just wants to find out the reason for the emperor's illness, and she doesn't want to wronged a good person, so you can rest assured!" ”

At this time, Qu Xiaoliang suddenly interjected and asked, "Commander Xu, the emperor's illness ...... Is it very strict? ”

"It's not a question of whether it's strict or not." Xu Ke didn't answer his question directly, "The concubine's feelings for the emperor, I believe that the prince is also in his eyes, she has just come back from Bailiao Kingdom, and the emperor suddenly fell ill, so who wants to find out the reason for the emperor's illness." ”

"Commander Xu is right!" Qu Xiaoliang nodded and did not speak again.

There was a sudden silence in the room, but fortunately the silence did not last long, Begonia walked in with a freshly brewed tea, poured a cup for each of the three people, and then withdrew at the signal of Hua's signal.

Taking a sip of the tea at hand, Xu Ke couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" ”

"If Commander Xu likes it, I'll have someone bring you some back later." Hearing this, Hua Shi hurriedly said, but he thought in his heart that he still had the heart to taste tea at this time, didn't he say that he wanted to ask himself something? Why is it that all of a sudden you don't mention this stubble?

Xu Ke didn't shirk either, nodded and said, "Then Xu will thank Mrs. for her kindness!" ”

After waiting for a while and not seeing him get to the point, Hua finally couldn't help it, and took the initiative to ask: "Didn't Commander Xu say that there was something to ask the little woman just now?" ”

"Ah, yes! Look at my memory! After her reminder, Xu Ke suddenly remembered his intention tonight, raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Actually, I came to disturb me tonight, that is, I had to go on a trip on the order of the concubine, as long as the lady answered me truthfully and asked me a few questions, so that I could communicate with the concubine after I went back." ”

His attitude has changed a lot from when he was outside just now, Hua guessed that he might have said these words to himself in front of so many people just now, and now that there are no outsiders in the house, his attitude will naturally ease, so he also has some confidence in his heart, "Commander Xu just asks, the little woman must tell the truth!" ”

"That's good!" Xu Ke nodded with satisfaction, put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Did Mrs. send a bottle of medicine to Concubine An a few days ago?" ”

Unexpectedly, he asked this question as soon as he came up, and Hua hesitated for a moment before replying: "It was indeed sent." ”

"When did you send the medicine to Worry, why don't I know at all?" Hearing her words, Qu Xiaoliang widened his eyes and asked, could it be that their mother and daughter really had something to hide from him? "Besides, there is no medicine in the palace, why did you send it over?"

These questions are exactly what Xu Ke wants to ask, and now that someone has asked them for him, it saves him a lot of energy, and he just has to wait to hear how Hua Shi answers.

"I don't know why Yu'er did this!" was questioned by her husband, Hua couldn't help but be anxious, "She said that she had a headache recently, and the medicine prescribed to her by the imperial doctor was useless at all, so she asked me to find some medicine for her outside the palace. ”

"Madam, don't worry, that's not what Lord Guozhang meant." Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xu Ke hurriedly said to stop, "We all understand Madame's love for her daughter, but can Madam sue me, what kind of medicine did you give Concubine An?" ”

Listening to him keep asking about medicine, and remembering Qu Wuwu's reaction when he asked him to find medicine for her, Hua suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and his answer became vague, "I don't know pharmacology, how can I remember what medicine it is?" Anyway, they were caught in the pharmacy! ”

Seeing that she suddenly became alert, Xu Ke frowned almost imperceptibly, and continued to ask quietly, "That lady should always remember which pharmacy she caught her, right?" ”

"Which pharmacy ......" Hua hesitated, "you let me think about it!" ”

Xu Ke didn't urge her, but reminded softly on the side: "Madame, you have to think carefully, if something goes wrong and you can't prove Madame's innocence, what kind of consequences will there be at that time, but no one can expect it!" ”

was frightened by him like this, Hua's heart was also shocked, and he hurriedly said: "I remembered, it was the medicine I grabbed in the rejuvenation hall in the east of the city!" ”

"Did the lady get the medicine back?" Xu Ke asked again.

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't know how to answer, she didn't have any prescription when she first grabbed the medicine, she took a pill that Qu Wuwu gave her and showed it to the doctor, and then bought the bottle of medicine under the doctor's suggestion, and now he asked himself to take the prescription, what should he do?

Seeing the embarrassment on her face, Xu Ke couldn't help but ask again, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Hua Shi shook his head gently, "I'm just thinking about the question that Commander Xu asked me just now, and I really don't have any impression of the prescription." ”

"That's fine." Xu Ke said and stood up, "Madame Troublesome will go to the Rejuvenation Hall with me, if Madame really forgets the prescription in the pharmacy, I believe they should keep it properly for Madame." ”

Hearing his words, Hua couldn't help but look outside, "But it's already so late......"

"It's not too late, it's just time." Xu Ke seemed to have made up his mind, "Let's go over early, Madame should come back early to rest, and I can go back to the palace as soon as possible, right?" ”

"I'll go with you." Seeing that his wife seemed to have concerns, Qu Xiaoliang took the initiative to mention it.

Even he said so, Hua knew that if he postponed it any longer, it would arouse the suspicion of others, especially Xu Ke, so he could only stand up and follow the two of them towards the outside of the house.

She only hopes that the bottle of medicine she found for You'er now has nothing to do with the emperor's illness, otherwise the mother and daughter will be completely finished this time!

As the capital of a country, Tiandu City is also quite lively at night, especially in the downtown area in all directions, although it has reached the end of the day, there are still people wandering the streets, especially in the taverns on the street, from time to time there is the sound of drinking and fistfighting.

The Rejuvenation Hall had already closed its door, only the two lanterns hanging outside the door showed a faint red light, Xu Ke glanced behind him, and some of his subordinates stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The fingers clasped on the door panel and made a "bang" sound, and the knocking continued for a long time before I heard a sleepy voice from inside: "Here it is!" Don't worry, it's right away! ”

As the sound landed, the closed door panel was pulled open from the inside, and it was the guy in the pharmacy who came to open the door, probably sleeping comfortably, and he didn't even open his eyes completely at this time, and he didn't look at who was when he opened the door, so he asked, "Is it to grab medicine or to see a doctor?" ”

"Grab the medicine." Xu Ke replied, stepped forward and pushed open the half-hidden door of the store.

The guy was startled, and finally woke up from a drowsiness, and when he saw that the outside of his pharmacy was full of officers and soldiers, he was so frightened that his voice trembled: "Master Jun, you, you, you, you...... What kind of medicine are you going to grab? ”

Xu Ke ignored him, but pointed to the Hua clan who walked in and asked, "This lady grabbed medicine in your pharmacy a few days ago, do you have any impressions?" ”

Hearing his words, the guy looked at Hua Shi carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm not impressed!" ”

"Take a good look at it!" Xu Ke stretched out his hand and pushed him, and said in a deep voice.

When the guy heard this, he had to look at it a few more times, but he still shook his head, "There are so many people who come to our Huichun Hall Pharmacy every day to see and grab medicine, and you can't remember every small one, Master Jun, don't you say?" ”

What he said also made sense, Xu Ke thought for a while and said, "Then call the doctor in your pharmacy!" ”

"Hey, let's go!" The guy hurriedly trotted to the back hall, and after a while, he pulled a man who looked like a doctor in his forties and walked out, pointed at Xu Ke and said to him: "Doctor Gu, look, I didn't lie to you, it's this military master who wants to find you!" ”

The Gu doctor stepped forward and looked at a few people in the room, then his eyes fell on Xu Ke's body and asked, "I don't know what the military master is looking for me?" ”

"Have Dr. Lao help me take a look, do you have an impression of this lady?" Xu Ke said, raising his chin and motioning for him to look in the direction where the Hua clan was, "She used to grab medicine in your pharmacy a few days ago. ”

Doctor Gu looked at Hua Shi according to his words, and only after a glance did he evoke his memories, "I have the impression that this lady did catch medicine in our pharmacy a few days ago, what's the matter, is something wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Hua Shi to speak, Xu Ke interrupted her first, "Why would Doctor Gu ask that?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Dr. Gu explained to him, "A few days ago, this lady came to the pharmacy and said that she wanted to get some medicine that could cure her headache, but I recommended several prescriptions to her, and she was not satisfied, so she took out a prepared pill and showed me, saying that she wanted to take the same medicine as the pill. ”

"And then?" Xu Ke asked again, "How did Doctor Gu know that something would happen to that medicine?" ”

Hearing him say this, Dr. Gu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, "Sure enough, something happened!" He said, "How could there be officers and soldiers coming to the door in the middle of the night!

After sighing with emotion, Dr. Gu continued: "At the beginning, I couldn't stand this lady's repeated pleas, so I grabbed the medicine and made it into pills for her according to her request, and specially instructed her not to take more of this medicine, otherwise it would have unexpected consequences!" ”

"What are the consequences of that?" After listening to his words, Xu Ke couldn't wait to ask, and at the same time felt that he might really gain something from this trip!

Doctor Gu shook his head again, "The main effect of that medicine is to relieve pain, but if you take it for a long time, or if you take it too much at once, it will make people delirious, and if you are more strict, you may lose your mind!" ”
