I don't know why, such a sentence without the slightest anger made Zhao Fang tremble, for a long time, he suddenly knelt on the ground along the chair, and said in a trembling voice: "Please Niangniang must help the minions, those people under the minions are all wolf-hearted, seeing that the minions are old, they want to kick the minions down one by one, and come to sit in the position of the head of the imperial pharmacy, completely forgetting how the minions promoted them before!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Fang was forced to say what was in his heart, the smile on the corner of Ling Ruo's lips deepened a little deeper than just now, "Many people are naturally selfish, and they can't tolerate anything other than interests. ”

"What Niangniang said is that it is also to blame the slaves for having no eyes and raising such a group of ruthless and unrighteous things." Speaking of the back, Zhao Fang almost burst into tears, these days for this matter, he can't eat, he can't sleep, lest he wake up the next day, the head of the imperial pharmacy has changed.

"Father-in-law doesn't have to blame himself, it's not too late to see clearly, besides, it's just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, and they can't do any tricks."

Ling Ruo's words made Zhao Fang smile bitterly, "Niangniang doesn't know, several of them are very capable and have taken the master of the harem, and now except for a title, they have long since not regarded the slave as the head of the imperial pharmacy." In fact, it stands to reason that the slave has been the head of the imperial pharmacy for so many years, and he should no longer be greedy, but the slave has no relatives outside the palace, and at such a large age, he doesn't know where to go when he leaves the palace. ”

"Father-in-law Zhao, do you still want to get out of the palace?" Shui Xiu smacked his tongue and said: "In my opinion, those apprentices under you are not such soft-hearted people, the most likely thing is to send you to the Shen Criminal Division and let you retire there directly." ”

Zhao Fang shuddered, "What Miss Shuixiu said is too penetrating, our family has been in the palace for so many years, and we really haven't been straight to the Shen Criminal Division." ”

Shui Xiu said: "Father-in-law Zhao, I'm not talking nonsense, they are so inhumane and anxious to pull you off the position of manager, how can they let you spend your old age in peace!" ”

Zhao Fang was said to be more and more scared of her, although he had one less descendant than a normal man in his life, but he finally lived smoothly, but he didn't want to be old and suffer, "Concubine Xi, you must save the slave, when the fourth elder brother investigated the second elder brother's poisoning in the past, the slave can be regarded as helping the fourth elder brother and you, you can't see death and not save it!" ”

"Since this palace is talking to you about this, it will naturally save you, get up." At Ling Ruo's signal, Zhao Fang stood up tremblingly, but those old eyes kept looking at Ling Ruo. He knew very well that his so-called problem was not a problem at all in the eyes of this lady who held the power of the harem, just like the battle between many minions, in the eyes of the master, it was just a funny farce. As long as Concubine Xi says a word, her position as the head of the palace will be as stable as Mount Tai again, and no one can move.

"But Gonggong Zhao has been in the palace for so many years, he should know very well that pies will not fall from the sky for no reason, and if you want to get something, you must pay something."

As soon as Ling Ruo's words fell, Zhao Fang nodded hurriedly and said: "The slave understands that as long as Niangniang is willing to save the slave, the slave will only obey Niangniang's orders in the future, and will never dare to disobey it." ”

Ling Ruo said it for so long, for nothing more than Zhao Fang's words, and she did wait, and then smiled slightly: "Gong Zhao is serious, this palace is just a little busy and wants to ask Gong Zhao for help." ”

Now that he has decided to jump on this boat, Zhao Fang naturally will not hesitate any longer, and bowed down and said: "If Niangniang has anything to do, just give orders, the slave will definitely do his best." ”

Ling Ruo flicked his nails and said casually: "The palace people of the Shu Mulu clan will come to you every day and take the medicine according to the prescription of the fetal pill, right?" ”

Zhao Fang was shocked in his heart, lowered his head and said: "Yes, since Shu Mulu's pregnancy, they will take medicine according to the prescription every day, but every time they take medicine, they will stare at it and put it in the medicine jar, wanting to do ......" He gritted his teeth and said: "It is not easy for a slave to tell the truth, especially something like safflower musk, if it is a little suspicious, it will be interrogated for a long time, and even invite the imperial doctor over." ”

Ling Ruo clapped his hands and smiled: "Gonggong Zhao is really shrewd, he understands the heart of this palace so quickly. ”

Zhao Fang didn't know whether she was praising or disparaging, so he didn't dare to talk casually, and after a while, Fang said worriedly: "Niangniang is angry, the slave didn't mean to shirk, it's really ...... You might as well tell the truth with Niangniang, Shui Yixuan's people not only have to check before decoction, but also check the residue after decoction, so ......"

"Hongu understands." Ling Ruo raised his hand and said, "So this palace doesn't plan to use the safflower musk you said, but it just asks you to put a medicine in the ginger in the fetal pill and hide it from the world." ”

In the full of doubts, Zhao Fang took the paper handed by Shui Xiu, and wrote three words on it, "Cold Water Stone", Zhao Fang has been the head of the imperial pharmacy for so many years, and naturally knows what the cold water stone is, this thing is also known as the condensate stone, the taste is pungent and cold, after grinding the powder into the medicine, it can remove the heat of the five internal organs, although it is non-toxic but has a big cold, and it is not suitable for pregnant women.

Looking at Zhao Fang, who was holding the paper and didn't speak for a long time, Ling Ruo said in a condensed voice: "What's the matter, Gonggong Zhao is willing to help this palace with this little favor?" ”

Zhao Fang raised his head and asked cautiously, "Is it really just a matter of adding a cold water stone?" ”

"Nature." Ling Ruo's answer made Zhao Fang fall silent again, he had a way to add the cold water stone to the ginger unconsciously, but although this flavor medicine was not a yin object such as safflower, it was also damaging to the dragon fetus, so he had to be cautious.

Ling Ruo didn't urge, just slowly sipped the tea, the dusk passed quietly in such silence, and the afterglow outside the window was slowly disappearing.

When a trace of light disappeared at the end of the day, Zhao Fang finally raised his head, gritted a mouthful of yellowed teeth and said, "As long as Niangniang keeps the current position of the minion, the slave is willing to obey any orders from Niangniang." ”

Ling Ruozhi said that Zhao Fang only had this one way to choose, so there was no surprise in his answer, and he just said four words, "One word is a certainty." ”

The matter was settled under the night that had just fallen, and after Zhou Minghua pretended to say those beneficial and warm medicines in front of Imperial Doctor Xu, who was asking for a pulse for Shu Mulu's family, and instigated him to add them to the fetal medicine, Zhao Fang also began to quietly add the powder of the cold stone to the ginger, because the amount of cold stone powder was not much, and there was no residue, so those who decocted the medicine did not find anything abnormal.

As for the few people under Zhao Fang who were bent on climbing to the head of the imperial pharmacy, somehow, they were all transferred out of the imperial pharmacy by order of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and went to other places to work as errands, and the new errand was much worse than in the imperial pharmacy. A few of them were not convinced, so they pooled together the money and sent it to Qian Moduo, hoping that he would be accommodating, but Qian Moduo said that he would not accept anything, but it also hinted at them that the order to transfer them out of the imperial pharmacy was not given by him, but by Concubine Xi, so even if he put a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, he couldn't change it, and no one could help them unless he found the emperor.
