Chapter Twenty-Nine: That's it?
The last time Qin Xiaoshuang entered the palace, his body was not clear, and he was helplessly angry with the queen again, and his body became worse and worse after he came back.
Shen Jiahe rarely has to fight with her anymore, Yao Xinrou has not looked for her again for a while, she is bored for a while, in addition to exercising her skills all day long, she just watched Bai Wei and Bai Ying sit under the porch and embroider.
She wanted to learn it, but after trying it once, she found that she was really not interested in these daughters' things, so she finally gave up.
Later, two days later, when Bai Wei came to report to her, she complained that the handwriting of the steward outside was too small, and sometimes she needed to read the account at night, and the lights were dim, and her eyes were about to be burned.
In order to solve Bai Wei's troubles, Shen Jiahe's first research was a magnifying glass, she remembered that there was clairvoyance during the ancient war, but after asking Bai Wei, she found that she had not heard of this thing here, so she recalled some modern principles and began to prepare.
In ancient times, there were naturally no such materials as glass and resin, so Shen Jiahe chose crystal stone and topaz as the basis for polishing the lens among some materials that might be applicable.
After looking for a long time, she couldn't find the right raw materials, so she still dismantled her own pair of crystal accessories to get a few small pieces, and the size of the crystal stone was smaller, but it was barely usable.
Topaz is easy to find, as long as you go out to find the Jade Pavilion to inquire, you are willing to spend some money, the boss is still willing to keep it for you, compared to those well-made finished products, the rough stone is cheaper.
For the grinding work, because there was no applicable instrument, Shen Jiahe also found a craftsman outside, and according to her wishes, the two things were polished into the kind of discs she wanted.
In order to make it easier to hold in his hand, he asked the master carpenter to pack a circle of bamboo strips around the perimeter, and made a small handle underneath.
Shen Jiahe picked a topaz and sent it to Bai Wei, she didn't expect that she only complained occasionally, and the princess specially figured it out for her, and her eyes were red for a while.
The success of the magnifying glass made Shen Jiahe out of control, and she almost wanted to copy all the modern things here, so she decided to make something practical and necessary first, such as hidden weapons.
After two assassinations, Shen Jiahe has always been a little uneasy in her heart, although she herself has kung fu to support herself, but most of her kung fu is only suitable for close-quarters operation, and now this identity is not easy to expose too much, with a hidden weapon on her body, it will always be better.
In addition, there are these two maids around them, neither of them has the ability to protect themselves, and they should also prepare some.
The hidden weapon that a woman needs is best to be able to hide in something, and it must be hit with one hit, and if you need to fire a hidden weapon, it can only be a chicken rib product.
The environment they are in now also has some hidden weapons, and Shen Jiahe also asked Pei Yuan to find them for himself to study, but they are not too big, they can't be called hidden weapons at all, they are too small, and they have no deterrent effect.
There are some mechanisms that use poison that are exquisite and chic, but this kind of thing must be close to it, and it is necessary to store poison at home, but if it leaks out, it will inevitably attract people to use and slander, Shen Jiahe thought about it and forgot it.
Shen Jiahe studied for a few days, and finally picked a hidden weapon with a small mechanism that could launch silver needles, and then improved it closely.
Originally, all the silver needles used in the hidden weapon were silver needles, but the silver needles were too light, the range was too short, and the direction was easy to be blown away halfway, and ten of them were sent out, and only one or two of them might hit the target.
Shen Jiahe originally considered that it could be replaced with gold needles, but the gold needles were too soft, and finally talked to the master who made the gold needles about his concerns, and the other party said that a certain amount of iron could be added to it according to the proportion, so that the weight was enough, and the hardness could also meet the requirements that Shen Jiahe wanted.
The original hidden weapon is a small square box, about the same size as a modern matchbox, the mechanism and the silver needle are buried in the small black box, Shen Jiahe feels that it is okay to put a small box in his sleeve, and then take it out when he uses it, it is too troublesome.
So I took the token of King Kang's mansion, carefully hollowed out the inside, filled in the special fine needle, and hid the original mechanism in the round hole where the token was tied to the red rope, and went out to wear a token in the mansion, which would not be noticed by people, and it was very convenient to use.
Shen Jiahe tried it a few times, and the effect was very good, so he remade two samples and sent it to the Yuanyuan Pavilion with a magnifying glass of topaz before, after hearing what Pei Yuan said before, he always thought that he would have to give back, if they hadn't sent a letter to Pei Yuan, he wouldn't have been so easy to withdraw.
As for Pei Yuan's help to him inside, Shen Jiahe could only lament in his heart, he already owed Pei Yuan too much, and he might not be able to pay it off in his life.
After returning from King Xian's Mansion after sending things, I wanted to rest for a while, but Bai Wei knocked on the door outside the door, and came in to tell her that Bi Tao next to Qin Xiaoshuang was waiting outside to see her, Shen Jiahe was a little surprised, but let people in.
Bi Tao was holding a pear blossom box, and after coming in, Fu Shen asked Shen Jiahe to say goodbye: "Slave Bi Tao asks the princess for peace." ”
Shen Jiahe only nodded and didn't speak, while Bi Tao sent the box in his hand forward, and said slowly: "My master has been in good health these days, and he has nothing to sort out some things today, and found that some of the balms sent by the queen mother some time ago have not been opened, so I asked the slave to send some for the princess." ”
Seeing that Shen Jiahe didn't mean to take it, she could only continue: "Our master offended the princess before, and this time we specifically want to take this opportunity to reconcile with the princess, and I hope that the princess will not remember the villain." ”
Shen Jiahe was happy, but she only sent such a box of balm after repairing with someone, she wanted to say that Qin Xiaoshuang was too stingy, or that Bi Tao's reason was too clumsy, Shen Jiahe raised her eyes and looked at her, seeing that she was just holding the box and talking with her head down, and she couldn't see what kind of emotion was in her eyes for a while, so after thinking about it, she nodded and motioned for Bai Wei to leave the things.
When Bi Tao came out of the courtyard, Bai Ying looked at the box in Bai Wei's hand, and said disdainfully: "When did this concubine change her temperament and come to please the princess?" ”
"It's not a fraud, I think it's better to throw it away." Bai Wei was also a little uneasy in her heart.
Shen Jiahe tugged at the corners of his mouth, and finally concluded: "The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart. ”
When Shen Jiahe was studying hidden weapons a few days ago, he came into contact with some things that used poison as hidden weapons, although it was useless in the end, but he also paid some attention to some knowledge about poisons.
Modern poisons are generally mostly chemical, while in ancient times, they were all made from herbs, which has the advantage that as long as you know the ingredients of the herbs inside, it is still easy to make an antidote.
Shen Jiahe was not in a hurry, and only occasionally studied this ointment when he had nothing to do, but it made Qin Xiaoshuang anxious, and he ordered Bitao to pay attention to the movements of the family doctor every day.
There was no deadly poison in the balm given to Shen Jiahe, it was a poison that she had inadvertently obtained before she came to the capital, which could make people's skin fester, and it was enough to ruin Shen Jiahe's face when used on her face.
At the gate of the palace, Pei Shu only glanced at Shen Jiahe, but as his pillow person, she knew very well what that kind of look represented, if Shen Jiahe was allowed to dangle in front of Pei Shu like this, sooner or later this fake couple would become a real couple.
As long as Shen Jiahe uses this balm and has symptoms on his face, he will definitely ask the house doctor to check it, but after so long, there has been no news in the courtyard.
Until the evening, Bai Ying went to Qinxiangju with a sandalwood box, and she presented the box to her with a smile: "Our princess said, Concubine Qin sent a balm to our princess a few days ago, and she didn't come to be rude, no, the princess asked the slave maid to give you a gift." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang was shocked, but seeing Bai Ying smiling, he couldn't figure out what Shen Jiahe meant for a while, so he could only tell Bi Tao to accept the things first, and then send the person out before he started to check, and it turned out that the box of balm was returned intact.
"Master, there's another letter down here." Bi Tao pulled out a thin note from the box.
"Look what's in there?"
Bi Tao opened the letterhead, but after reading it, she stared at Qin Xiaoshuang's pale face, Qin Xiaoshuang saw that she was speechless, so she quickly took it from her hand and looked at it.
Inside turned out to be the poison ingredient she put into the balm, which was written out by Shen Jiahe in the same way, followed by the recipe and production method of the antidote.
Her eyes went dark, and then she saw two words at the end: That's it?
That's it? Shen Jiahe laughed at her for being so clumsy, and the poison she tried so hard to send out was sent back as a joke, and at this time, thinking of Bai Ying's smiling face at that time, she suddenly felt that it was estimated that the dead girl was already laughing crazy in her heart.
Qin Xiaoshuang's face was swollen, the whole person was not good, the moment she stood up, she was crumbling, Bi Tao hurriedly supported her and cried and said, "Master, take care of your body!" ”
Pei Shu was walking in from outside, and he didn't let anyone tell him, and when he heard Bi Tao's cry, he hurriedly walked in a few steps and asked what was going on.
Bi Tao hurriedly put the letterhead into her cuffs, and then replied: "It's not that the master wants to give this balm to the princess, but the princess is not rare, and she sent a maid to send things back, and the master is sad for a while, and he feels that he is looked down on by the princess, so he will ......."
Knowing that it was such a trivial matter, Pei Shu didn't care much about it, so Haosheng comforted him: "When you entered the palace before, you said that your body was a little cleaner, and it happened that you were okay today, so I will accompany you to go shopping and add two things." ”
The two went to the largest treasure pavilion in Dongcheng, Qin Xiaoshuang was trying on a set of gemstone heads, wanting Pei Shu to see if it looked good, but saw Pei Shu staring at a colorful glass bracelet for a long time, but he didn't say let him try it, so he guessed that he should want to buy it for Shen Jiahe.
She leaned over with a smile on her face, pretending to be surprised and smiled: "The prince has such a good eye, this bracelet is really good-looking." ”
She took the initiative to ask Pei Shu to bring it to herself, looking left and right and couldn't put it down, Pei Shu had no choice but to let go of the thoughts in her heart, thinking about going back and choosing a suitable one for Shen Jiahe.
