When Tong Yao heard that the person Zeng Rong was looking for was Zheng Jiao, she didn't dare to forcibly keep her, because Zheng Jiao was still in the confinement of a miscarriage and couldn't go out.

In addition, this time Zheng Jiao had an accident, although the emperor did not pursue her, he also warned her, at this juncture, it is not wise for her to provoke Zheng Jiao again.

It's just that she was a little unwilling to let Zeng Rong go like this, so she asked Zeng Rong a lot of questions, such as what are the common hair and hot things, whether Chang Dezi looked for her on the day of the winter solstice, whether she knew that Zhu Heng was going to marry in advance, and whether the emperor had a candidate in his heart, etc.

Zeng Rong picked some answers that could be answered, and those who couldn't answer were all denied, Tong Yao saw that she couldn't get the news she wanted, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea, and ordered someone to bring her ointment and put it in front of Zeng Rong, so that she could smell it well, remember what medicinal herbs there are, and don't restrain her diet.

But the problem is that Zeng Rong is not a doctor, how many medicinal herbs can she smell? Unless it's the main drug with a special taste.

But Tong Yao doesn't think so, she knows that Zeng Rong was born in medicine collection, and she has been in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and she also studied under Zeng Lin, how can she not recognize medicinal materials?

Zeng Rong couldn't refuse, so she had to put this bowl of plaster on the tip of her nose and smell it, and a pungent smell made Zeng Rong almost vomit, but fortunately she couldn't help it, and returned the thing to the palace maid on the side, saying that she didn't know this medicine, and the first time she saw it, this smell was also the first time she smelled it.

"I can't complain that you don't know it, this palace is also the first time I have seen it, and the imperial doctor said that this is sulfur." Tong Yao seemed to be satisfied with Zeng Rong's reaction.

"Brimstone?" Zeng Rong was taken aback, she had really heard of this name, as if she had read it from a medical book, this thing is generally used to treat scabies and ringworm, as well as sores, bald sores, etc., could it be that the other party suffers from scabies?

Because scabies can be contagious in these diseases, and it is extremely itchy? I used to live in Datong Kang at the Huanyi Bureau, and I heard that someone had this disease, and it was spread all over the house.

However, Zeng Rong quickly denied this statement, because scabies are mostly on the hands? From the hand to the other place? But this is obviously not the case with the imperial concubine.

"You know this medicine?" Tong Yao asked her.

Zeng Rong shook his head? "I've only heard of this thing, but I don't know that it can be used for medicine."

"Go back and check it out, and see what this thing has to do with it? Don't be confused and let this palace encounter another unwarranted disaster. Tong Yao said in a long voice.

Zeng Rong trembled and responded? She knew it wasn't going to be easy.

However, since the other party mentioned that she should go back to check the book, Zeng Rong then offered to leave, "Go back to Niangniang? Xiaguan's copywriting in the morning has not been sorted out yet? Is it a must-see for the emperor every day after dinner? Why don't you sort it out sooner? Xia Guan didn't have time to check the books today. Furthermore? Xia Guan also needs to go to Ruohua Palace to ask Zheng Cairen for help. ”

Tong Yao was not in a hurry to reply to Zeng Rong? Instead, he glanced at the hourglass on the windowsill, noon had arrived, and Zeng Rong had been kneeling for half an hour, and if he knelt down again, he was afraid that the emperor would send someone to ask for someone.

Thereupon? She waved her hand generously? Ordered Zeng Rong to kneel down.

Coming out of Yaohua Palace? Zeng Rong raised his head and took a deep breath a few times? Only then did he expel the turbidity in his heart, and at the same time pulled Ah Chun to ask her if there was still a strange smell on her body, which provoked Ah Chun to sniff Zeng Rong like a puppy? The last book told her in all seriousness that there was.

"Just right, go to see the emperor." Zeng Rong made up his mind.

Zhu Xu had been reviewing the recital for more than half an hour, and when he saw that Zeng Rong had not come back yet, and was about to order someone to take a look, Zeng Rong came in angrily.

"Trouble again?" Zhu Xu raised his eyelids and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials don't have it, the lower officials have been kneeling in a regular manner to listen to the Niangniang's lectures, the Niangniang sent an errand to the lower officials, the lower officials are not afraid that this errand will cost time and energy, but they are afraid that the consequences of this errand will not be able to hold on to the lower officials." Zeng Rong said while taking the opportunity to pour tea for the emperor to take two steps forward.

When she was a few steps away from the emperor, the emperor suddenly ordered her to stop, "Stop, I don't drink tea, I don't need you to be courteous, hurry up, what's the matter?" ”

Zeng Rong saw that the other party suddenly looked disgusted, and deliberately stretched his sleeve and sniffed, "Oh, I'm sorry, the lower official forgot, the imperial concubine Niangniang ordered the lower official to help her taste the ingredients of the plaster, and the lower official said that she didn't understand, but the mother didn't believe it." ”

"Getting to the point." Zhu Xu saw through Zeng Rong's careful thinking at a glance, he didn't have time to play with her.

"The point is to ask the lower officials to help make a menu." Zeng Rong said the request for this menu.

"Your Majesty, this is too difficult, in case the face of the imperial concubine does not heal after a month, this responsibility will be lowered...

"Huh?" Zhu Xu doesn't like to listen to it.

"Back to the emperor, what the lower official said is what if, in case it gets better and relapses halfway, it's not impossible, when the time comes, how can the lower official be responsible?" Zeng Rong had the courage to finish speaking.

These words stopped Zhu Xu, Ah Yao is a person who dares to be ruthless to herself, if she is determined to blame Zeng Rong, it is very likely that she will break her vows halfway, eat something that should not be eaten, and finally push Zeng Rong on, at that time, I am afraid that Zeng Rong will not be allowed to defend her, so she will first cut Zeng Rong and then admonish Zeng Rong.

"That's it, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements." Zhu Xu replied.

Zeng Rong smiled when he heard this, "Thank you to the emperor, the lower officials guessed that the emperor would not embarrass the lower officials." ”

"Get out." Zhu Xu couldn't see her with a happy look on her face.

"Whoa." Zeng Rongle curtsied and bowed, but as soon as she turned around and didn't take two steps, Zhu Xu stopped her again, "Come back, how is the imperial concubine's face?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials don't know, the mother is wearing a headscarf." Zeng Rong replied, paused, and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang said that the menu will be needed today, originally she wanted the lower official to list it in her hurry, and it was the lower official who said that he would come back to check the book." ”

Zhu Xu waited for her to finish speaking, waved his hand, and Zeng Rong retreated.

It's a pity that Zeng Rong didn't know how to solve this matter in the end, she wanted to ask the emperor, but the emperor didn't give her a good face in the past few days, so she didn't dare to come forward.

However, she heard Xiao Quanzi mention it, in the past few days, the emperor has begun to favor the four concubines, it is a turn, one person sleeps for one night, followed by several concubines, but there is no concubine.

Zeng Rong heard that something was wrong, Concubine Yu had slept with her for three nights in a row before, and inserted two nights in between, how could she suddenly not announce the summons?

There are only two possibilities for this situation, one is that Concubine Yu is pregnant, and the other is that Concubine Yu has fallen out of favor.

Falling out of favor seems unlikely, the palace is very calm these days, the queen is at ease to raise the fetus and prepare for childbirth, the imperial concubine is hiding in the palace to recuperate, and the other concubines are nothing more than secretly making some small moves to invite pets, because they know that with the sons of the queen and the imperial concubine in front, they can't turn their sons.

If you really want to fight, you have to wait for them to fight first.
