Zeng Rong almost didn't think about it and judged that the concubine Zheng Jiao said was the first queen, that is, Zhu Heng's biological mother.

No wonder Cui Yuanhua didn't let her go through the medical records of ten years ago, because she guessed that with Zeng Rong's intentions and intelligence, she could probably see that the first queen's illness was artificially manipulated or delayed.

It's just that Zeng Rong doesn't understand that Zheng Jiao and Zhu Heng are not familiar with each other, and they are even more indifferent to this former queen, why does she deliberately pay attention to her medical case?

Also, Zheng Jiao's words were ambiguous, and she used a concubine to replace the name of the former queen, obviously because she didn't want to cause trouble for herself, but why did she say this?

Is it a temptation to Zeng Rong? Or do you really want to tell her the truth?

"That's it? So did she end up with tuberculosis or something else? Is there a similar illness to her in the palace? Zeng Rong was not picky and asked.

"Yes, there are quite a few people who have died of tuberculosis in the palace, but those who died are not worth mentioning, so their medical records are only mentioned in passing, and if you really want to find their medical records, you have to go to the Imperial Medical Department or the Shangshi Bureau. Okay, let's not talk to you about it, let's talk about it, and you must not spread it out and pit me. Zheng Jiao got up and wanted to leave.

Zeng Rongyi hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "Good sister, sit down for a while, and then tell me about other strange things, don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense." ”

"Where do you get all this curiosity? With this in mind, let's ponder how Ming'er will pass the emperor and the queen. Zheng Jiao poked Zeng Rong's face with her other hand and said with a smile.

Zeng Rong pouted deliberately, "It's because I don't want to think about those bad things that I want to have some fun with you to kill time." ”

"Is this fun?" Zheng Jiao gave her a blank look.

"Depends on whom." Zeng Rong gave her a smile back.

After sending Zheng Jiao away, Zeng Rong revisited the conversation between the two of them, before she suspected that Zheng Jiao might be bribed by the imperial concubine, so she was transferred to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, but today's conversation overturned Zeng Rong's conclusion.

Zheng Jiao is not a person from the imperial concubine, nor is she a person from the queen, and the reason why she can stay in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau is most likely because the imperial concubine or Cui Yuanhua thinks that she is simple and will not pay attention to a case of the former queen who has nothing to do with her and has been dead for more than ten years.

In fact, Zeng Rong didn't know why Zheng Jiao was interested in the case of the former queen, and specially came to hint at her. Also, she shouldn't spread the arguments between the queen, the imperial concubine and the emperor, but she told her that Zeng Rong was really not sure what she wanted to do.

Zeng Rong, who couldn't figure it out, quickly put down the matter, picked up the silver needle again, and began to study the acupuncture points on her legs.

Because she drew a conclusion from Zheng Jiao's words, since the death of the first queen was man-made, then Zhu Heng's leg may also be intentional.

Zeng Rong didn't learn to take the pulse and didn't dare to prescribe medicine to Zhu Heng, but she could help him dredge the lower meridians through acupuncture, and she could also prepare some medicinal materials for soaking his feet.

Early the next morning, Zeng Rong was supposed to work in the morning, she brought a few moon cakes into Qianning Palace, the emperor saw that she only raised her eyelids, and didn't say anything, Zeng Rong didn't dare to step forward easily, and wrote down the things that should be recorded on the side first.

When the eunuchs brought goat milk and snacks, Zeng Rong stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the lower officials came back yesterday and brought a few pieces of salty moon cakes from their hometown, I wonder if the emperor is interested in tasting them?" ”

Although the eunuchs around him were surprised, they had already seen the emperor's tolerance of Zeng Rong, so they all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, pretending not to see or hear.

Zhu Xu didn't respond to Zeng Rong, took two sips of goat milk, and was about to reach out to get a snack, when he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zeng Rong, "Who allowed you to leave the palace?" ”

That's what I asked.

"Back to the emperor, he is a lower official, who was in charge of taking leave from the lower official, and the lower official asked for the leave of Liu Nei's servant." Li Ruolan said busily.

Zhu Xu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Back to the emperor, this is not to blame the lower officials, the lower officials took leave from you last time, and you said at the time that the lower officials would not be an example, how dare the lower officials alarm you again?" Zeng Rong added.

"Don't dare? I see that you are very bold, remember to eat or not, last time you were punished for bringing food into the palace, this time you don't have a long memory, you dare to send it to me, do you think I am really reluctant to punish you? After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he snapped, and put the remaining half of the goat's milk on the high table on the side.

"Back to the emperor, the lower official is really wronged, in fact, the ham dumplings brought by the lower official last time The old man of the queen mother did not eat it, this time the lower official brought some salty moon cakes to her old man to taste, the emperor and the queen mother are both respected people by the lower officials, and the lower officials also want to take this heart to the queen mother to the emperor, so as to live up to the emperor's cultivation of the lower officials, and the lower officials have no other intentions." Zeng Rong bowed and said.

"Clever words, fresh and benevolent." Zhu Xu snorted coldly again.

Zeng Rong opened his mouth and closed it again.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Xu asked angrily: "What about the things?" ”

Zeng Rong took out two pieces of bread, broke each piece of cake in front of Zhu Xu and the eunuch and palace maid, and then broke a small piece from the middle part and the edge area and put it into his mouth first.

Rao is like this, Chang Dezi still ordered someone to take a silver needle to prick these broken cakes a few times, and then put it in front of Zhu Xu after confirming that it was correct.

Zhu Xu pinched a piece, first looked at it with disgust, then sniffed it, and asked Zeng Rongdao: "Are you sure this is a moon cake?" ”

"Sure." Zeng Rong nodded.

Only then did Zhu Xu carefully put the cake in his hand into his mouth, chewed it, and did not comment, but ate two small pieces, and then drank the remaining goat milk, and without saying anything else, he got up and walked out.

When the emperor's figure was gone, Li Ruolan stroked her chest and glared at Zeng Rong, "You, you, can you not be so scary?" You don't want to think about it, these things with unknown attributes are eaten by the emperor, can you bear the consequences? ”

"Aunt Hui, I remember, don't take it as an example." Zeng Rong also regretted it.

She just thought that the things would be sent to Cining Palace for the Queen Mother to taste, for fear that the emperor would find out and accuse her of favoring one over the other, so she didn't think much about it and took two pieces.

Of course, she also believed that this mooncake must be no problem, she ate it herself, her brothers and sisters-in-law ate it, Jiang Nan also ate it, and after coming out of the Xu family, these things did not go through outsiders.

Li Ruolan also tasted two pieces, and learned that they were made of lard, and she was worried about Zeng Rong, because the emperor has strict rules for eating and drinking on weekdays, and if he is not used to eating, it is not a trivial matter in case he has a stomach.

This frightened Zeng Rong again, and he waited anxiously for more than an hour, and saw that the emperor was not unusual, so he put his heart in his stomach.
