Chapter 288: Seeking Medicine

"County Lord, don't worry, I'll boil these medicines now." Wei Qing took the medicinal herbs and prepared to go out, but who would have thought that the moment he went out, the medicinal herbs would all wither all at once.

"This ......" Wei Qing and Zhou Xinzhi looked at the withered herbs and froze in place, this herb must be fresh, if it is withered, it will produce a lot of toxins.

Zhou Xinzhi blinked her eyes and forced herself to hold back her tears, she stepped forward to take the withered herbs from Wei Qing's hand, and looked at them seriously for a while.

I don't know when there was some hoarfrost on this herb, Zhou Xinzhi pursed her lips and turned sideways to go back to the warehouse to look at the place where the medicinal materials had just been stored, and probably had some guesses in her heart.

This herb was tampered with, and among the herbs put together with these herbs was a red poisonous cherry tree, which was no problem with putting it there on weekdays, but no matter what it was put with, it would make the other thing look very fresh, but in fact, the other thing had withered inside.

"County Lord, what should we do now, Second Highness can't wait long." Wei Qing frowned, he looked at Zhou Xinzhi in trouble.

This medicinal material is also available in the territory country, but it takes some effort, if you are not in a hurry to use it, you can naturally find it, but Qin Qianyu's current injury is afraid that he will not be able to wait for the day when they buy the medicinal materials.

"Go to the emperor and ask for it." Zhou Xinzhi hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth, she blinked, raised her eyebrows, and said as if she had made up her mind.

Wei Qing was really stunned when he heard this, who in the palace today didn't know that Zhou Xinzhi had angered the emperor, and now he went to ask the emperor for medicine, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree!

"Go find it now, the emperor won't let Qin Qianyu have an accident, after all, he still needs to use Qin Qianyu to suppress Qin Shuyu." Zhou Xinzhi shook her head, she understood Wei Qing's thoughts, if she wasn't desperate at the moment, she wouldn't have thought of going to the palace to intercede with the emperor.

Wei Qing hesitated, he stood in place and touched his hair, looking at Zhou Xinzhi without speaking.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't speak, she lowered her head and walked straight towards the room where she was changing, now there is no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"County Lord, I'll help you change your clothes." As soon as Zhou Xinzhi walked to the door of the locker room, Qiaocui ran over from the side, and she more or less understood the matter.

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, she pushed open the door, and let Qiaocui help her put on her coat.

Now that the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, the footprints they stepped on will be covered up after a while, and Zhou Xinzhi is sitting on the sedan chair, and she is also flustered.

Qin Qianyu's injuries were serious, Zhou Xinzhi did not bring Wei Qing with her when she entered the palace this time, Qin Qianyu needed people around her, and she didn't dare to let Qin Qianyu stay alone in the room.

"County Lord, it's here." Zhou Xinzhi was thinking about it when Qingyi's voice came in from outside the sedan chair.

Now it is the second half of the night, the palace gate is not open, they want to enter the palace can only enter through the small side door next to it, the guards over there are in a daze and are about to fall asleep, at this moment I saw a few people coming over without too much interrogation and let a few of them enter the palace.

Inside the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

"Your Majesty, please see the county lord of Zhou." The old eunuch beside the emperor bent over Emperor Xuanjing.

Emperor Xuanjing had just fallen asleep at the moment, his hair was messy, and the whole person looked very lazy, when he heard Zhou Xinzhi's invitation, his brows twisted, and his face was a lot uglier: "What is she doing here so late?" ”

"The spy said that there was an assassin on the second prince's side tonight, and the second prince was injured." The old eunuch couldn't see Emperor Xuanjing's expression clearly through a layer of tulle, and at this moment he hesitated, but still said everything.

Emperor Xuanjing's face changed when he heard this: "Who did it?" ”

"It was said that the person ran away and didn't find out." The old eunuch glanced at Emperor Xuanjing cautiously.

Emperor Xuanjing pursed his lips and rubbed the fingers on his side: "Call Zhou Xinzhi in." ”

"Yes." The old eunuch nodded, then bent over and cautiously withdrew.

When Zhou Xinzhi entered the door, Emperor Xuanjing had already dressed and sat on a chair, and when he saw Zhou Xinzhi coming in, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and was quiet for a while before asking, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he has disturbed the emperor's rest, but now that Qianyu is in danger, the minister has no choice but to come to the emperor for help, and I hope the emperor can help." Zhou Xinzhi knelt on the ground with a thud, she knew that the emperor knew about what happened today, but now that the emperor was clearly pretending to be confused, she couldn't expose him no!

Emperor Xuanjing nodded, staring at a certain point on the ground without speaking.

The whole room was suddenly quiet and terrifying, and the sound of birds flying by outside the window made the surrounding environment not so scary.

Zhou Xinzhi knelt on the ground, her back was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, she was betting on how much the emperor attached importance to Qin Qianyu, if the emperor wanted to abandon this chess piece, they would have no choice.

"What can I do?" After a long time, Emperor Xuanjing suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was joking. 7 Q

Zhou Xinzhi swallowed her saliva, she raised her head and stared at Emperor Xuanjing's chin and said, "The minister needs a few medicinal herbs." ”

"What if I don't have it here?" Emperor Xuan Jing chuckled, his fingers tapping on the table, looking leisurely and not a little nervous.

Zhou Xinzhi was very anxious, but she still had to put on a respectful appearance on her face, she clenched her fingers, gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Your Majesty, there are all things in this world that you don't have!" ”

"What do you want?" Obviously coaxed by Zhou Xinzhi's words, Emperor Xuanjing nodded with satisfaction, and his voice was much brighter.

"What did the county lord do when he entered the palace late at night?" As he was talking, suddenly Queen Jiang's voice came from the door.

Empress Jiang obviously had just gotten up from the bed, so she was still a little sleepy at the moment, she rubbed her eyes, and sat next to the emperor with some grievances.

The emperor's expression that had just softened was now back to his usual coldness, he raised his chin and motioned for Zhou Xinzhi to continue.

"I need these herbs." Zhou Xinzhi turned her head sideways and motioned for Qiaocui to hand the prescription to the old eunuch.

Empress Jiang lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, the impatience on her face was obvious, if she didn't want to see what happened to Qin Qianyu, she wouldn't bother to appear here.

The emperor glanced sideways at the prescription handed over by the old eunuch, and then waved his hand: "Didn't these things reward you a few days ago?" Xin Zhi, you can't chew it if you are greedy! ”

"Your Majesty, I feel even more sad when I talk about this matter, I don't know who has tampered with such precious medicinal materials, and now they are all scrapped in my warehouse." Zhou Xinzhi was even more distressed when she talked about this matter, she shrugged the tip of her nose and said aggrievedly.

Emperor Xuanjing squinted his eyes, his fingers tapping on the table became faster and faster, and the rhythm became more and more chaotic, and Queen Jiang on the side sat up straight with some nervousness, staring at Zhou Xinzhi's face under the seat also changed.

The problem with this medicine was instructed by her, but the emperor also knew a little about this matter, but who knew that Zhou Xinzhi would put it on the table and say it, which was really unexpected.

Emperor Xuanjing chuckled, he raised his hand and waved at Zhou Xinzhi: "Someone made a move?" Who do you mean? ”

"I don't know." Zhou Xinzhi shook her head, and secretly complained in her heart, it would be good if she knew, besides, even if she knew what was the use, who else could there be who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

"I don't know? Interesting, you asked me to find out? Emperor Xuanjing rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb twice, and his black and white eyes were full of ridicule.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't know how to answer, she licked the corners of her lips, lowered her head and didn't speak.

"Okay, go to the Tai Hospital to help the county lord find the medicinal materials." The emperor chuckled, and suddenly, he turned his head sideways and said to the old eunuch behind him.

The old eunuch took the order and retreated quietly, leaving Zhou Xinzhi, the emperor and Empress Jiang in the whole room.

Empress Jiang lazily leaned back on the chair next to her and yawned, and the impatience on her face was even worse.

The emperor didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Xinzhi quietly.

Zhou Xinzhi didn't understand what the emperor meant, her fingers clenched and loosened, and the words she wanted to say swirled around her mouth and finally swallowed back into her stomach.

"Your Majesty, the medicinal herbs have been brought back." The old eunuch came back after a quarter of an hour, and he was followed by a little boy, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, and at this moment he was holding a tray in his hand, and he looked very delicate.

Zhou Xinzhi turned her head sideways and carefully looked at the medicinal materials in the tray to make sure that there were no problems, and then Zhou Xinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"County Lord, if there is no problem, let Mo Han accompany you back, and you can rest assured that he will escort the medicinal materials along the way." Emperor Xuanjing raised his eyebrows and pointed his finger at the little boy with his head down.

The boy known as Mo Han raised his head and glanced at Zhou Xinzhi, his eyes were firm, but they were different from the smoothness of these people in the palace.

Zhou Xinzhi knew what Emperor Xuanjing meant, and she nodded: "Thank you to the emperor." ”

"I will let people check the matter of medicinal materials, the county lord only needs to take good care of Qianyu, it's not too early now, wait a while, I will go over to visit Qianyu." Emperor Xuanjing yawned, rubbed his hair and spoke.

Zhou Xinzhi realized that the sky outside had begun to brighten, she hurriedly thanked the emperor, and then took Mo Han back to the palace.

Qin Qianyu was still in a coma, Wei Qing fed him some medicine, so that the toxin could not spread in his body, Zhou Xinzhi couldn't trust others, so he instructed Wei Qing a few words, and went to the kitchen alone.

Qiaocui was following Zhou Xinzhi at the moment, and she separated Zhou Xinzhi and Mo Han, as if she was afraid that Mo Han would do something to Zhou Xinzhi.

Mo Han didn't care, he handed the medicinal herbs to Zhou Xinzhi without saying a word, and the expression on his face didn't change from the beginning.
