When the emperor saw Li Yanran leave the bookcase with the porcelain vase, he breathed a sigh of relief, then clenched his fists and coughed lightly, making an uncomfortable but forbearant appearance, "I ...... Ahem...... I'm fine, I don't need to worry. ”

Li Yanran gently stroked the emperor's back, and called to Songzhi: "Songzhi, you go and pour a cup of throat-moistening tea for Your Majesty, pay attention to the temperature of the water." ”

When Songzhi handed the teacup to Li Yanran, Li Yanran took advantage of the moment when the two exchanged hands to steadily stuff the pill into Songzhi's palm, and then turned his head and asked the emperor softly as if nothing had happened.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention in the hall, Songzhi bent down and exited the imperial study, and when he walked to a hidden corner, he took out the pill in his sleeve and handed it to the secret guard who came to answer him.

After Songzhi did all this, he could be regarded as putting the pounding heart back in its place, and just as Songzhi was about to turn away, the secret guard whispered again: "Miss Songzhi, this is another pill, if someone wants to check the number of pills, it is better to be confused, and it will not attract people's attention." ”

Songzhi suddenly realized, and hurriedly took the pill handed over by the secret guard, but the appearance of the pill and the pill stolen by Li Yanran looked the same, and if you didn't identify it carefully, you couldn't tell the subtle difference between the two.

When Songzhi returned to the imperial study, Li Yanran was playing chess with the emperor, but the emperor frequently made mistakes and looked a little absent-minded.

While the emperor was observing the chess game and thinking about what to do next, Songzhi nodded at Li Yanran without a trace, and then pointed around the bookcase.

Li Yanran's eyes flashed with a hint of clarity, and she moved the position she was sitting on a few points outward, just enough to block the emperor's view of the bookcase.

Songzhi didn't dare to delay, she stuffed the elixir into the porcelain vase with lightning speed, and then took a light step and quietly returned to Li Yanran's side.

"Your Majesty, you have lost again." Li Yanran put down the sunspot in her hand with a smile, as if she was tired, and said: "The concubine is tired and doesn't play, you, let's continue to review the folds." ”

When the emperor heard this, he replied a little impatiently: "Okay, then Concubine Ai will go back first, I will go to see you when I am free, by the way, you have won me so many times today, I should also reward you, so let's go to my private treasury to get whatever Concubine Ai likes." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yanran bowed gracefully, and walked out of the imperial study under the emperor's eyes.

After Li Yanran left, the emperor shouted to Jiushang, who didn't know where to hide: "Daoist Jiushang, come out, I have wronged you and hid for so long." ”

Jiushang walked out from behind a huge screen, and scanned the area where Li Yanran and Songzhi had been active with a scrutinizing gaze, this is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, Li Yanran seems to care about the emperor and came to reward, but in fact he has other plans.

What's more, before entering the palace, Si Yuanqiong reminded Jiu Shang that he must be careful of Li Yanran, and if she has anything abnormal, he must report to Si Yuanqiong in time.

Jiu Shang thought about this, touched his goatee, and said: "Where can the poor Dao talk about the word grievance, but Niangniang is a rare confidant, and she cares about Your Majesty so much, but she teaches the poor Dao to be envious." ”

The emperor was pleased by Jiushang's words, and laughed and said: "Concubine Rong is such a character, so I am willing to spoil her more, but I don't want to tell her about refining pills, and I don't want to leak any rumors, and I am afraid that I will continue to grieve you for the next period of time." ”

Jiushang had expected such a result, he smiled modestly and replied: "It's okay, as long as I can help Your Majesty, it will be an honor for Poor Dao, by the way, Your Majesty, what about the pill that Poor Dao gave you before?" ”

The emperor didn't know Jiu Shang's intention to suddenly ask such a question, but he still picked up the porcelain vase, handed it to Jiu Shang, and asked uneasily: "Dao Chief, you suddenly asked about this elixir, but what's wrong?" ”

Jiu Shang poured out all the pills in the porcelain bottle, and then leaned close to the tip of his nose to sniff it, even if he noticed that something was wrong.

But Jiushang did not say anything, he put the pill back into the bottle, and then returned it to its original owner, shook his head lightly and said: "There is nothing wrong, it is the poor Dao who has recorded the number, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

The emperor did not blame Jiushang, after leaving Jiushang to speak for a while, he took the pill, and when the emperor was half-asleep and half-awake, Jiushang withdrew from the imperial study.

"Go tell the prince that Li Yanran secretly changed one of the pills, and ask the prince to pay attention to it." Jiushang returned to the residence arranged for him by the emperor, and summoned Si Yuanqiong to install the hidden stake in the palace.

The black-clad spy nodded, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished in place, a misty cloud of smoke rising from the room as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, after Si Huazhen got the pill stolen by Li Yanran, he wanted to take this pill to find Bai Weiying as soon as possible.

From the flow of wind, Si Huazhen learned that Bai Weiying's medical skills were superb, and it was not a problem to see what the mystery of such a small elixir was, and he could also take advantage of this almost to get close to Bai Weiying and spend more time with her.

Just as Si Huazhen stepped out of the door of the study and was about to leave, Qianhui suddenly appeared and blocked Si Huazhen's way.

"Lord Wang, it's late at night, where are you going?" Qianhui's voice sounded with implicit questioning, and she looked at Si Huazhen fixedly, as if Si Huazhen was going to do something bad, but she was caught.

"This king has important things to do, and it is inconvenient to disclose it now, if the princess has nothing important, wait until this king returns home." I don't know when it began, Si Huazhen's title for Qianhui has changed from "Hui'er" to the princess, and his attitude has become more and more detached and polite.

Qianhui knew about Si Huazhen's change to her, but Qianhui tried all kinds of methods, but she couldn't make Si Huazhen's attitude towards her change anymore, and she began to regret helping Si Yuanqiong together and using the matter of the city defense map to frame Si Huazhen.

And the reason why Qianhui appeared here tonight was also because he listened to the words of the grandmother who was waiting beside him, Si Huazhen's heart was not in the house, Qianhui knew better than anyone else, but Mama said that Si Huazhen probably had people outside, but because of Qianhui, it was inconvenient to bring people back to the house.

If Qianhui can take the initiative at this time, put on the grace and generosity that a wife should have, and give Si Huazhen a step down, Si Huazhen will inevitably feel the sacrifice of Qianhui afterwards, and in this way, it can be regarded as redeeming some of Qianhui's impression in Si Huazhen's heart.
