When the color of the day was about to fade, they came to the queen mother's bedchamber.

It is worthy of being an important place in the palace, and the armed guards here are almost three layers inside and three layers outside. They don't need anyone to lead the way, just by walking along the heavily guarded place, they can probably touch the place. After a simple search for Liu Shenghan, she was let in. Although His Majesty said that they could go to the dormitory in the courtyard to rest first, the two of them still stood at the door of the dormitory, facing each other with a group of guards. Of course, these guards don't have any weapons. This is the same as the palace of the old country, and anyone with a sword and a sword cannot approach these places. What's more, the person sleeping in the house was a middle-aged woman who was powerless.

Two maidens went in with her.

As soon as the door opened, a faint sweet smell greeted me. Liu Shenghan walked in and saw that the tents in the room had fallen, and even when it was not dark, they had not been rolled up. Gauze tents were everywhere, in front of the door, in front of the window, by the bed. Almost all of them are a dull pink, which should be the kind that the Queen Mother likes. The dimly lit interior has a hazy warm rose color, which is warm even in winter.

"Is the stove burning all the time?" Sheng Han asked one of the palace maids, "This door and window are always closed. ”

"Of course, the windows will be opened for ventilation." She replied, "The time frame for what to do is very strict. If something goes wrong, even if it hurts the mood of the Queen Mother, we don't dare. ”

Another palace maid seemed to remember something: "By the way, Mrs. Liu, you don't dare to step on the formation on the ground." ”

"Formation?"

Liu Shenghan lowered his head and looked in the direction of the palace maid's finger.

Sure enough, there was a formation left in the house - around the queen mother's bed. The palace maid said that the formation would maintain the minimum supply of spiritual power for human survival. No one can step through this array of blue sand, otherwise the array will fail, and the Queen Mother will starve to death. This is what the national teacher said, and the array was also laid out by the national teacher.

If other imperial doctors want to check the safety of the Queen Mother during this period, they can only take the pulse. The silk-thin gold thread extended beyond the circle and was held to the table by a needle. Liu Shenghan took the silk thread and tried the pulse of the Queen Mother, but everything was normal.

She just fell asleep.

Liu Shenghan walked around the huge dormitory. Everything else was the same, except that she found two candles at the foot of the wall near the bed, both half-burned. She picked them up, leaned in front of her and sniffed them, revealing that they were the source of the scent that permeated the room. They should also be burned and extinguished by the palace maid, just like the king of the Xiangji country.

The taste of this candle is exactly the same as the incense candle given to Ao Yan by Qianmin Po. Liu Shenghan couldn't quickly identify the exact ingredients, but she was sure that it should be full of herbs, most of which were used to calm the nerves and help them sleep. They exude the smell of over-fermentation after the fruit is ripe and piled up, and it is a little intoxicating to smell for a long time.

"How often do you light candles?"

"I want to think about ......"

So, what kind of medicine is Bai Ya's candle? Liu Shenghan recalled for a while, she remembered some parts that she could recognize, no different from these herbs, but there were some parts that she couldn't recognize.

There was a drug in this world that she couldn't recognize—she had been concerned about this for a long time.

That's not what matters right now.

There were also a lot of medicines on the tables where the needles and threads were placed. There are round balls, there are powders, and some are directly dried plant roots. Liu Shenghan picked it up and looked at it, turned his head and asked:

"Are these all the medicines that the Queen Mother takes?"

"Well, it should be." A palace maid glanced at it, "Ah, there are still two smells, but those are put into the stove to burn incense." The national teacher sent people before leaving

Went to collect it. ”

"What does the girl remember?"

"Hmm...... I'm not in charge of this, I don't know. ”

"Can you go to the pharmacy and copy a list? This is important. I have to understand the Queen Mother's diet and medication in detail before I can make a judgment. ”

"Ah, okay."

"And this girl." Liu Shenghan turned his head to the other person and said, "Please go to the imperial dining room and copy a copy of the Queen Mother's recipe." It will take seven days—seven days before the Queen Mother falls asleep. ”

"Okay, let's go."

It was completely dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace.

The two of them stood at the door bored, Bai Ya squatted on the ground, idle, picking up a small stick and drawing Wang Ba.

"Why are you so ugly?"

"I'm drawing Qi Huan."

"He doesn't have pigtails, either." Jun Aoyan frowned, "It's still a pigtail." ”

"Actually, it's Wang Ba."

"......" jumped proudly, "I still take it seriously." ”

"Then it looks like I'm drawing a lot."

"Like Wang Ba or like Qi Huan?"

"That's what you say."

“？”

"That's what he looks like."

It's quite a bit of a bitter taste.

Bai Ya poked a few more times on the turtle's back, looking like a turtle pattern and a human face. But either one is too ugly.

"You're not tired of standing for so long?" Bai Ya lowered his head and continued to draw, casually asking Ao Yan.

"Not tired. It is not uncommon to stand in the army all day. ”

"You don't have to stand with them."

The queen mother's bedroom suddenly opened the door, Aoyan looked down at the painting, and before she could reply, Bai Ya stood up suddenly, almost hitting the bridge of her nose. Both of them thought it was the cold that came out, but it turned out that it was not, it was two little palace maids. Bai Ya stopped them and asked how long they had to look inside, he was really numb in his legs.

"I don't know, it's going to take a while." With that, the palace ladies hurried away.

Ao Yan rolled his eyes: "You can stand for a while with numb legs." ”

"I don't."

It was already late at night when the three of them were finally able to get together and talk.

Liu Shenghan's reading of the medicine list and recipes is incidental, and it is true to separate them. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only her and the sleeping Queen Mother in the house, she bluntly said that she had rummaged through the cabinets lightly for a while. When she said this, her face was gloomy, and she couldn't see the slightest smile. It is better to say that from the moment she left the Queen Mother's bedroom, she has been keeping a straight face. The low-key, slight smiles of the past have also been retracted under a heavy layer of shadow.

It's as if she's bringing out some secrets.

There are secrets, but she doesn't know whether she belongs to the national teacher or the queen mother. The gold thread connected to the veins is not a mortal thing, but a long thread stretched out of practical gold. This line accurately transmits the patient's pulse and minimizes errors. However, this gold wire has been soaked in medicine, and some spells have been infused. As for what it was, Liu Shenghan couldn't identify.

"And candles." She said, "The incense candle is the same as the proud one, calming the nerves and helping them sleep." As long as it is burned for two moments, it can be managed for three hours. Sooner or later, they will burn for half an hour, and that will be the whole day......"

"It's for dream-repelling?" Bai Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, "lest she have nightmares?" ”

“…… No, it's to keep her asleep. ”

"What?"

The two of them simply suspected that they had misheard. But they looked at the serious and serious faces of the cold voices and knew that this was no joke. She never jokes.

"It doesn't matter what kind of disease, no medicine

System. It's incense. The smell of burning candles kept her awake. ”

"How so?" Jun Aoyan frowned, "What did Qianminpo give me is such a dangerous thing?" ”

"Incense candles are not dangerous in themselves." Sheng Han said, "Every time I extinguish the incense candle for you, it will never be more than two moments. But the national teacher deliberately put her to sleep......"

"What is the purpose of Kinara?" Bai Ya felt a headache, "Your Majesty said that the god of song has been out for a longer time this time. I think she made the Queen Mother unable to wake up, because she wanted to hide something—something that the Queen Mother couldn't say. ”

"You can't tell us outsiders, to the people in the palace, or to our own daughters......" Jun Aoyan thought together.

"It's more than that." Liu Shenghan still had a straight face, "There is also Fu Shui." I found half a bowl in the cabinet in front of her bed, and I couldn't bring it out. The powder had melted, and I didn't know what was written on it. The bowl is a terracotta bowl, and it is also exquisite. But to be honest, I don't know much about the flow of yin and yang. If Qi Gongzi is present, he can probably say a little bit about it. ”

“…… Anything else? ”

"There are many suspicions."

Almost all night, the three of them gathered around a small table in the guest room to discuss, analyze, and deliberate. Still, what they know is too limited to get the full picture. What is certain is that although those medicines, although they seem to be things that nourish qi and blood, they can hide from the eyes of the imperial doctors, but they can't hide Liu Shenghan.

A grass that blooms is medicine, and withering is poison, which can save people and kill people. A leaf, spring can drive away the cold and nourish the stomach, but it hurts the liver and qi; Autumn can give birth to muscles and heal bones, but damage the spleen and blood. Some are poisonous if they are too much, and they are poisonous if they are excessive; Some medicines are also poisoned when they are combined with another pair of medicines; When some poisons are dispensed with medicine, they lose one toxicity and strengthen the other. The dosage of both drugs and poisons should be controlled, and different parts of the same plant, different time periods, and different growth environments are also closely related to drug toxicity. There are almost nothing in the world that Liu Shenghan doesn't know, and it's not easy to fool her.

She knew that the god of songs, Kinara, was not that skilled, and her knowledge of such knowledge was limited. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to run to the incense god one by one. What's the matter, isn't it more convenient to grab a messenger to spread the word?

They knew that the national teacher was destroying the organs of the Queen Mother Qiu Ruoyun little by little, stripping her of the spiritual power in her body little by little. She slowly plundered her life force at the right time and in the right way. And the little Majesty is so obedient to the teachings and arrangements of the National Teacher. If she wanted to take power from this little girl in the blink of an eye, it would certainly not be difficult. Or, to be more decent, use her as a shield, a fake puppet, listen to politics behind the scenes, guide the country, and hold power.

No one will doubt her. She will leave the impression of the world as a wise god who is dedicated to saving the Queen Mother's precarious life.

Even though the gods never saved the world.

"Stop the incense." Before the rooster crowed, Liu Shenghan said, "As long as you don't let the palace maid light incense, the queen mother will naturally wake up." ”

"The palace maid will definitely not let it, and Your Majesty will not let it either." Said arrogantly. She had a dry mouth.

"Then change. cough-" Bai Ya pinched the bridge of her nose and cleared her throat, then continued, "She must know this." ”

They heard from His Majesty Qiu Weiyu that there were still three days left before the day when the National Teacher said that he would return. Not surprisingly, she should be in a neighboring country now, drinking with him in the incense garden of Qianmipo.

Or they are planning some unknown and vicious conspiracy.

"Incense and candles are not easy to steal. Outside the dormitory, it was heavily guarded, and besides, they were afraid that there were countless incense and candles, and they couldn't steal them all. ”
