Chapter 61: Hidden Secrets
Zhao Sheng hid some displeasure in his heart, showed a faint smile on his face, and said to Father-in-law Wei:
"This tea is very good......"
His father asked Gonggong Wei to bring him tea, what else could he do but thank him?
In fact, it was very clear in his heart that before, when his mother was still alive, he had seen his mother drinking tea. A female doctor kindly persuaded his mother, saying that it was the kind of tea that was suitable for people with internal heat constitution, but not for his mother.
But his queen mother did not listen, but smiled and said:
"The tea that Your Majesty has given to the palace, the palace must taste it well, but you can't live up to Your Majesty's heart for the palace. His Majesty said that when he went to Jiangnan, he drank this kind of green tea. It is an honor for the palace to be able to get these teas. ”
When his father returned to the imperial city from Jiangnan, it was early winter.
He remembered very well that on the day his father gave tea to his mother, there was a light snow in the imperial city.
The father came to the queen mother's bedroom, and left in less than half a cup of tea.
At that time, he was still young, and I saw that the moment my father walked out of the hall, the queen mother's eyes were very lonely. He looked at his father's back, hoping that his father could accompany his mother more, but he was afraid that he would just sit there and listen to his mother's words.
But he didn't expect his father to look back at his mother, and as soon as his father walked out of the hall, he took Wei Gonggong and them to another concubine.
The footprints of his father on the snow in his brocade boots were soon covered by the falling snowflakes and disappeared from his sight with the figure of his father. The footprints, and the snowflakes that fell on them, melted in an instant.
He didn't understand that a benevolent and righteous monarch like his father was not only the son of heaven of the Daning Dynasty, but also the husband of the queen mother, and the father of the three of their brothers.
As a husband and a father, how could his father treat his family so indifferently?
My father went to the south of the Yangtze River, and he went for more than ten days. The queen mother finally looked forward to her father's return to the palace, and came to the queen's bedroom, thinking that her father could accompany her to talk.
But he didn't think about it, after his father came here, he just exchanged a few words with his mother, and left in a hurry. I went to another concubine.
In the palace, he could only feel some warmth from his mother, his two brothers, and his grandmother.
After the queen mother left, the eldest brother and the second brother told him that they would take good care of him and protect him.
But they only accompanied him for a few years before leaving.
As soon as Zhao Sheng recalled that past, his heart was dripping blood. He didn't believe it, his queen mother was really a blessed and shallow woman as some people said, so she couldn't be the queen for many years and died.
Even more unbelievable, both of his brothers died of illness because they were both in good health.
Especially his eldest brother, who was originally a good person. But after getting a pill from someone, I took it, and it didn't take long for him to die.
Neither his second brother nor he believed that their eldest brother would die of illness.
He sneaked into his eldest brother's mansion and searched for a while, only to find a pill that had fallen to the ground in a hidden corner.
He kept the pill and carried it with him for years. During all these years, he had only said to the Master that there was one such thing.
Even when he asked Zhang Manjing, a female doctor in the palace, to borrow a book for Ah Li's medical studies, he didn't say what kind of pill he hid.
However, he was willing to ask Ah Li to take a look at the pill and help him take a look. In addition to the fact that Ah Li has a sample of things, he can know what kind of medicine there is by smelling the medicine, and there is also a point, because he believes in Ah Li and knows that she is a pure-minded woman.
Therefore, before he left the imperial city, he took the pill to his master and asked the master to help him take it to Ah Li.
After returning to the Imperial City, he had been waiting for Ali's reply, but he couldn't.
It was the master who told him in the letter that the pill he showed to Ah Li was a pill containing the poison of purple feather gall.
As soon as he saw that text, Zhao Sheng only felt that his lungs were about to explode! I don't know how his eldest brother could accept that pill and take it.
The eldest brother is not a stupid person, if it is a pill given by ordinary people, the eldest brother will definitely not accept it. It's just that he can't understand why the eldest brother never told him when he was alive that someone had sent him pills?
It was the poisonous pill that killed his eldest brother.
Zhao Sheng secretly swore in his heart: Big brother, in his lifetime, no matter whether the foolish brother can be the crown prince or not, he will have to find the wicked person who gave you the pills. He owes you, and I will make him pay it back!"
Night.
Zhao Sheng got up quietly after Father-in-law Wei and them rested. Sitting in front of the desk, he wrote a letter to his master by the light of the lanterns at the four corners.
In his letters, he mentions pills again. He also said that he thought that the person who gave his eldest brother pills back then must have been the one who had more dealings with his eldest brother.
That person is definitely not a female doctor like Zhang Manjing, because after he has been in contact with Zhang Manjing a few times, he knows that she has a good character. Neither for his grandmother nor for his mother, but he did anything detrimental to his virtue.
The person who prepared the poison pill back then would definitely not be a doctor in the palace, but it was very likely that it would be a poison doctor in Qizhou Mansion.
His master is in Qizhou Mansion, and he has some friends who have believed. He asked his master to ask someone which poison doctor had some dealings with some members of the royal family......
Three days later.
Jiayu City, Qin Mansion.
Qin Li got up early in the morning, washed up, carried a baggage, and prepared to go to Hu Ji Pharmacy to do work.
Outside the house, the winter rain was falling, and the ground was wet.
Qin Li walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Qinghe and Guo Shi scrambled to hold an umbrella for her, for fear that she would be frozen if she blew a cold wind.
She found a pair of gloves and put them on. These gloves were given to her by the third son, and he said that he made them casually when he was fine.
Because it was a pair of gloves that were made up casually, I didn't think about it, and after I made it, I tried to wear it, but I couldn't wear it at all. Too small.
Zhao Sheng said, so as not to waste it, he asked her to help wear it.
In this time and space, it is not ordinary to accept gloves made by others. But she really didn't want to waste Zhao Sheng's belongings, so she accepted it.
Putting on gloves, he was quickly seen by Guo.
Guo Shi looked puzzled, "Li'er, how can you have such a pair of gloves?" In your bedroom, didn't my mother put two pairs of gloves on the coffee table, which was warm enough. ”
Qin Li touched Guo's cheek lightly with his gloved right hand, this glove is soft and warm, how good.
Guo squinted and smiled, "Your pair of gloves are indeed very good." Then you wear it well, and when you go to the pharmacy and want to help grab the medicine, you won't be able to wear gloves. You pack it in your baggage, don't lose it. ”
"No, mother." Qin Li took Guo's hand, got into the carriage with Guo, and went to Hu Ji Pharmacy.
The day before yesterday, she went to Hu Ji Pharmacy to participate in the assessment, was locked in a small room, answered a full 200 questions, wrote her experience, and wrote three pieces of paper.
Yesterday afternoon, she received the documents sent by the Lord Zhizhou of Jiayu Mansion.
It is because when she was being assessed, her written test score was very good, with a full score, and she passed. For this reason, the Zhizhou University sent someone to send a document to her.
