Chapter 121: The Beginning
At dawn again, Qing led his subordinates to rush to obtain the medicinal materials and those terrifying "little things" that Zi Ling had ordered to prepare early in the morning from the branch of the "No. 1 Village in the World", and returned to the palace. The same road, the same people, but in different places, stopped.
Xia Yi calculated the usual time and came out early to welcome Qing's arrival.
"Miss Xiayi, why are you waiting here?" From a distance, Qing saw Xia Yi standing in front of the palace gate of the Quiet Palace.
"It was Gongzi's order, let me lead the captain of the guard and those brothers who transported them to the side courtyard of the Jingyou Palace." Xia Yi's beautiful and lovely appearance, lively personality, and optimistic and kind attitude, coupled with the fact that she has been in contact with Qing and the guards who are often in contact with her, have already established a friendly relationship with Qing and the guards who are often in contact. As soon as they met, they showed a sweet smile and greeted the hard-working guards, and everyone would feel happy when they saw it!
"Oh, then I'll take the lead." Qing said politely.
"You're welcome, brothers, please come here ......"
Xia Yi led the guards to the side courtyard of the Jingyou Palace, and as soon as they came, everyone saw that on that empty place, a building similar to a pavilion was built, but because a large wooden barrel of about 1.5 meters was placed in the middle, there were many bundles of dry firewood prepared next to it. So everyone looked at it and understood that this building, which resembled a gazebo, was not actually from a gazebo. When thinking about this, everyone's eyes shifted to a graceful figure in purple clothes in the building.
Xia Lian was there, constantly moving dry firewood, and at the same time paying attention to the size of the fire roasting in the stove under the large wooden barrel. When I heard footsteps, I looked back, "You're here?" ”
"Well, Miss Xia Lian doesn't know if there is anything else she needs help with?" Qing asked.
When Xia Lian was about to refuse, a voice that couldn't hear any emotion interjected: "Today, there are really a lot of efforts that need your help?" ”
As soon as Qing and the guards heard this, they all looked back at the person who picked up the conversation.
Everyone looked at someone, especially Qing and the guards, and they all had a puzzled thought in their hearts: We, can we still stay in the Quiet Palace?
Usually, except for transporting things into the Quiet Palace, it won't give them a chance to stay for a while. Today, he actually spoke out to keep them, and he was still the iron jade boy who appeared like a god in everyone's hearts, and everyone couldn't help but feel very happy.
Zi Ling didn't care what other people thought, and said indifferently: "Arrange for two people to bring some dry firewood from the palace." And the rest of the people, go and prepare a few large empty tables. So first of all, put all the ingredients and supplies you carry on your back, in your hands, and the medicinal materials that you will need later, and put them on the other side to prepare what I need now. Otherwise, we won't be able to get busy later......" Zi Ling stretched out his finger and pointed to a clearing next to the building.
"Yes, Childe." When he received the will, he quickly commanded his brothers to prepare what Zi Ling wanted.
Zi Ling looked at Xia Yi and Xia Lian: "You two just give it to me, take good care of the fire and increase firewood in time, it's fine." I'll tell you the rest. Xia Yi and Xia Lian looked at each other and nodded.
After a while, the guards brought a few large empty tables and placed them neatly in the place where Zi Ling said. And at the behest of Ziling, he opened the "special box" where the medicinal materials were placed in the open space, took out the different medicinal materials that were bundled and wrapped one by one, and placed them on the prepared empty table in different categories.
Zi Ling looked forward at the water in the barrel and looked at the mist that had risen. Estimating the time in his heart, he suddenly turned around and walked to the table, quickly opened one medicine bag after another, picked a few medicinal materials from them, grabbed some quantities and threw them into the wooden barrel.
Looking back at Qing, he said, "Take the fifth prince out of the room!" ”
"Yes!" Qing immediately ran to Leng Chenxi's bedroom.
Watching Qing leave, Zi Ling immediately turned his head to look at the guards who had just stopped, "Brother, please help me get seven buckets of water, is it okay?" ”
"Ah, yes, okay!" When the guards heard what Zi Ling told them, they were so happy that they hurried away.
Zi Ling quickly reached out and grabbed a "special box" clearly marked on the open space, and walked to the barrel.
Looking at the boiling water in the barrel, watch the timing intently.
The wooden barrel is about 1.5 meters high, and a stove is made underneath, so the height is about 2.1 or 2 meters high, and Zi Ling is standing on the stone steps next to the barrel, so the line of sight can clearly notice the situation in the barrel.
The water in the bucket was actually only one-third of the barrel, and Zi Ling saw that the medicinal herbs that had been put down had begun to emit a medicinal smell, and the water gradually became turbid. Seeing that the water had been boiled, Zi Ling instantly opened the switch of the box, and poured all the "little things" inside into the hot medicinal soup, and the sound of "all of them" indicated that the poison had entered the water, and for a while Zi Ling took the long wooden stick that appeared out of thin air and kept stirring in the water.
After a while, Qing and the guards all returned to the side courtyard.
Leng Chenxi was in Qing's arms, and his eyes were in the direction where Zi Ling was. And Zi Ling was directing the guards, pouring three buckets of water into the wooden barrel, and his hands were still stirring. Seeing that the water temperature was already about the same, "Ready, you can bring the fifth prince over!" ”
Zi Ling looked at the two people who came over, and said to Qing: "There is a big stone in the middle of the barrel, you take off the fifth prince's shirt first, and then put him on the stone!" ”
Zi Ling met Chenxi's gaze again and comforted: "The water temperature is already moderate, and it won't feel hot, so go down with peace of mind." When you're seated, I'll pull out the silver needle, so the pain won't come up all at once, but will only gradually intensify. And you're going to need to sit here for about three hours today, so you have to be prepared. But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you, and if anything happens, I'll know right away......"
