Chapter 59: Qin Xiang Pavilion
Zhao Lingshu, who had studied for a while, had many unique insights into medical skills, so she went to the second floor of the Flower Pavilion Medicine Building again.
Since it was a daytime morning, there were many people on the second floor of the pharmacy building who came to buy medicine with a lot of money. But these people are basically men, from the old man to the next for at least a year, even if there are women, they also wrap themselves tightly, and Zhao Lingshu's feminine dress is very conspicuous here.
Looking at the strange eyes of the people who came and went to buy medicine, Zhao Lingshu didn't care about it at all. She crouched in front of an herb, looked closely, and drew his appearance on the paper she carried with her.
"Yo, Little Beauty is also interested in herbs?"
Suddenly, a male voice appeared next to Zhao Lingshu, and Zhao Lingshu turned his eyes to see that it was a lewd-looking son-in-law. Zhao Lingshu didn't want to pay attention to this person, turned around and left.
"Where is the little beauty?" After the man finished speaking, the guards around him came over to block the road in front of Zhao Lingshu, "I am the elder brother of Uncle Liu Qingchao, the most favored concubine in the harem now." ”
Liu Qingchao thought that after he finished speaking, he would more or less receive different treatment from Zhao Lingshu.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingshu just turned his head and glanced at him, ignored him, and then pushed away Liu Qingchao's guards and wanted to continue leaving.
Seeing that he was ignored again, Liu Qingchao was annoyed and angry, and directly stepped forward and pushed Zhao Lingshu fiercely. Zhao Lingshu was caught off guard, his body was crooked, and he fell directly to the ground.
The people around were immediately attracted by this movement, and they all came over to watch.
"Is this girl being molested?"
"This bully, why didn't anyone clean him up!"
"Don't you see so many guards? It is estimated that he is also a boy with a head and a face, if you dare to go up, you can do it! ”
"If you want me to say, a slap doesn't make a sound. This girl dares to come to the pharmacy alone, and she is probably not the daughter of a good family. ”
"That's it, maybe I still wanted to go up and hook up with that son, but I was rejected fiercely."
"The world is going down."
Liu Qingchao saw that Zhao Lingshu was good-looking, and there was no maid guard by his side, so he expected that she was also the daughter of an ordinary family, so he wanted to forcibly take Zhao Lingshu back to the mansion to be a concubine, which could be regarded as a blessing that his ancestors had cultivated in their previous lives.
Liu Qingchao raised his hand, and the two guards saw Liu Qingchao's signal, so they stepped forward and grabbed one of Zhao Lingshu's arms. Zhao Lingshu wanted to struggle, but the guards grabbed it too tightly, and his strength was too small, so it was useless to resist.
Just as Liu Qingchao instructed the two guards to take Zhao Lingshu out of the door on the second floor of the medicine building, the hands of the two guards suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, and they let go of their hands directly.
In this vacancy, the man in red who Zhao Lingshu thought was originally only guarding the medicine building within the curtain suddenly arrived, and directly picked up Zhao Lingshu, who was still in place and didn't know what was going on, to the third floor of the medicine building.
The other managers in the medicine building were immediately shocked when they saw the man in red, and knelt down one after another: "The landlord." ”
Only then did Zhao Lingshu know that the man in red who was guarding the door was the main medicine building of the pharmacy that he had always wanted to see but couldn't see.
Yao Wuwu ignored Zhao Lingshu's surprised gaze, and directly ordered the guards behind him: "Let people drive out that bastard who robbed the people's girls in broad daylight, and from now on, don't let me see him in the medicine building." ”
The guard immediately walked up to Liu Qingchao, who was still shocked, snatched the medicine building token from him, and destroyed the token, so that Liu Qingchao would never be able to enter and leave the medicine building from now on.
Zhao Lingshu, who was taken to the third floor, looked at the medicine in red, and then suddenly remembered the two rumors about the owner of the medicine building that he had forgotten in his previous life.
One of the rumors is that the owner of the pharmacy building, Yao Wuwu, has an ugly appearance, and he does not dare to show his true face, and he wears a golden mask all day long.
The second rumor is that the owner of the pharmacy building, Yao Wuwu, is good at using poison and often kills people invisibly, so he never wears white clothes and wears red clothes all day long.
Yao Wuwu turned his head and saw that Zhao Lingshu, who was rescued by himself, was stunned by himself, and said unexpectedly: "If you have seen enough, roll down the third floor, you are not qualified to come up here." ”
Originally, I wanted to thank Zhao Lingshu, who was worry-free about medicine, and his words of thanks were blocked in his throat by these rude words. Zhao Lingshu froze and remembered the true purpose of his coming to the pharmacy today.
Zhao Lingshu took out the box of spices given to him by Cui Guifei and handed it to Yao Wuwu. Who knew that when Yao Wuwu saw the spice, his whole eyebrows frowned.
"Where did you get this spice?" Yao Wuwu asked Zhao Lingshu. Zhao Lingshu didn't dare to hide it, and told all the causes and consequences.
Yao Wuwu sighed after hearing this. It turned out that Yao Wuwu's biological mother was tragically attacked by thieves because of this spice. The original purpose of creating his own pharmacy was to track down his mother's murderer. But after so many years of investigation, the reputation of the pharmacy has become more and more famous, but there is no clue about the murderer back then.
If he saw Zhao Lingshu take out this spice, it reminded him of the sad past. The scenes of his mother's tragic death in the past pierced his heart like a needle.
Yao Wuwu was immersed in painful memories and couldn't extricate himself, Zhao Lingshu saw his strange face, and hurriedly interrupted his contemplation: "Landlord? ”
But Yao Wuwu just turned around and left, and didn't tell her anything about spices.
Zhao Lingshu could only sigh when he saw that the matter of asking about spices was fruitless. At present, all she knows about spices is that in addition to Cui Guifei, the queen also has them on her hands.
It was already noon, and after running around for so long, Zhao Lingshu was also hungry. So she didn't go back to her house directly, but went to the flavor building opposite the Qin Xiang Pavilion, wanting to fill her stomach first and then think about anything else.
After entering the flavor building, Zhao Lingshu asked for a good wing room, and immediately Xiao Er came up to introduce the special signature dishes in the flavor building.
Zhao Lingshu clicked it all. A quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper served all the dishes.
Zhao Lingshu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste them one by one, but he frowned after tasting them.
"What's wrong, miss, isn't it delicious?" The maid on the side saw Zhao Lingshu frowning and asked worriedly.
"You come and taste it." Zhao Lingshu didn't speak, just handed over a pair of chopsticks.
The maid saw that Zhao Lingshu's expression was wrong, and originally thought that the dishes in the flavor building were unpalatable, but after tasting them once, she gave a thumbs up: "Miss, this dish is so delicious!" ”
Zhao Lingshu raised his eyebrows in disbelief when he saw that the maid thought it was delicious. suddenly remembered that when he was still in the palace in his previous life, Xiao Qiming did everything possible to please her in order to use her. She said that she likes the dishes in the flavor building, and Xiao Qiming often asks people to queue up in advance, as long as she wants to eat, she can buy them immediately.
Now that he is living a new life, the dishes of this flavor building are no longer the right appetite, Zhao Lingshu feels very ironic in his heart.
Zhao Lingshu didn't move a bite of the rest of the dishes, and gave them all to the maids. When those maids saw this, they all came over happily.
Zhao Lingshu gave them the table and walked to the window by himself. Opposite the flavor building is the Qin Xiang Pavilion, Zhao Lingshu pushed open the window of the wing room, and happened to see a large group of people gathered at the door of the Qin Xiang Pavilion.
"Come and see, there is a problem with the food in this Qin Xianglou, and the guests who come here to eat are all in trouble!" A man at the head crossed his waist and stood at the gate of Qin Xianglou and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Lingshu called the shopkeeper and asked.
Flavor Building and Qin Xianglou were originally rivals, but now that something happened to Qin Xianglou, the shopkeeper gloated, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Miss still doesn't know?" Today, someone ordered a meal in Qin Xianglou, and the result was good, and before a few bites were served, everyone foamed at the mouth in the lobby and fainted directly. There were still a few men who hadn't eaten and quit, so they lifted the table and kicked the bench on the spot, asking the boss of Qin Xianglou to give an explanation. No, it's still making trouble. ”
The shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou resolutely refused to admit that there was a problem with his food, but insisted that this group of people maliciously made false accusations and deliberately provoked trouble, and called a group of guards in the building to come over and teach them a lesson.
The group of guards were all armed with long sticks, trying to scare the men. But those men were not only not afraid, but took the initiative to attack. In the end, the seemingly vicious guards were knocked to the ground by the unarmed men.
Seeing this, the boss of Qin Xianglou said, "You dare to beat someone after framing him?" I'm going to report to the officials and arrest all of you people! ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's threat to report to the official, the men reined in and carried away the fainting people on the ground.
When the shopkeeper of Qin Xianglou saw that the group of people were gone, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he sent someone to report the news of someone making trouble today to the real owner of Qin Xianglou: Xiao Qiming.
Although Xiao Qiming was ordered by Emperor Wen of Liang to be confined and not to leave the house, others could come in. In the past few days of confinement, Xiao Qiming has been discussing with several strategists in the mansion all day how to get the support of the Zhao family.
was talking about the details, and Xiao Yan's voice suddenly came from outside the study: "Princess, Your Highness is talking about business, you better not go in." ”
"Every time I come, you talk about business, is it Your Highness who has business, or do you not let me in?" Chu Lanxi's heart was full of anger. Since Emperor Liang Wendi's closed will, Xiao Qiming began to avoid her. Several times she insisted on going into the study to find Xiao Qiming, but Xiao Yan stopped her at the door, no matter how good-tempered she was, she couldn't stand this repeated obstruction.
"The princess still shouldn't embarrass us." Xiao Yan said.
Of course, Chu Lanxi knew that it was impossible for Xiao Yan to stop him, unless he got Xiao Qiming's permission, he could only leave with hatred.
After hitting the wall many times, Chu Lanxi also became disheartened, so he stopped looking for Xiao Qiming.
That night, Xiao Qiming and the strategists finished talking about things and finishing other things, when they were having dinner alone, they suddenly remembered that they hadn't seen Chu Lanxi for several days, so they asked the maids around them.
"Where did the side concubine go? Why haven't I seen her in days? ”
When the maids around them heard this, they looked at each other incredulously, and finally a bold maid spoke: "Your Highness, the side concubine has been looking for you several times, but she was stopped outside by the Xiao guards. ”
When Xiao Qiming heard this, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Although it was not his idea to stop Chu Lanxi, he did tell Xiao Yan not to let him in if the princess came to him.
With a guilty heart, Xiao Qiming decided to go to Chu Lanxi after dinner to appease and appease her.
But as soon as Xiao Qiming walked to Chu Lanxi's door, he heard Chu Lanxi losing his temper in the room, throwing things on the ground while getting angry.
