Chapter 33: Chronic Poisoning

Wang Guifei's expression improved slightly.

Qi Zhaoxiu said: "The mother concubine is recuperating with peace of mind, and the son-in-law takes the daughter-in-law to retire first. ”

Xie Nuanyan and Qi Zhaoxiu stood up at the same time.

Xie Nuanyan was a little unwilling.

She actually saw that Wang Guifei had been greeted in advance. Otherwise, you can't be fully prepared. And this bowl of medicine seems to have been prepared in advance, just waiting for two people to come and take the bait.

Xie Nuanyan actually smelled the bowl of medicine just now, and she could distinguish the strong aroma of the herb in it.

But Wang Guifei's illness should not be used at all. Fucao is generally used to mask other Chinese medicines that are very foul-smelling, and in addition, it has some aerating effect.

And if there is a fucao that should not appear in a medicine, I am afraid that it is because there are other deadly Chinese medicines.

Xie Nuanyan said: "Has the mother concubine been constipated recently? Why should I take Wo Cao? ”

Wang Guifei frowned, "There is naturally no constipation in this palace. ”

Xie Nuan sighed and didn't ask anything more.

Walking out of Xiangyun Hall with Qi Zhaoxiu, Xie Nuanyan wanted to say something to Qi Zhaoxiu, but Qi Zhaoxiu put his big hand around her waist, "Good, let's go back to the house and discuss slowly." ”

This is obviously still sealing Xie Nuanyan's mouth.

It wasn't until the two of them got into the carriage that Qi Zhaoxiu said to Xie Nuanyan: "Say, you have noticed something." ”

"The concubine is only afraid of being tricked. The bowl of Chinese medicine she drank had an ulterior secret, so she used herbs to cover up the smell so that others could not smell it. ”

"Yes." Qi Zhaoxiu nodded.

"But fortunately, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find useful information just now, so I put a small spoonful of it out." Xie Nuanyan raised a very small glass bottle in his hand.

Qi Zhaoxiu raised his eyebrows, "When, how did this king not see it?" ”

Xie Nuanyan thought to herself that she wouldn't tell him that she had a laboratory with her, and if she wanted to put some medicine out, she didn't have it at hand.

Xie Nuanyan said: "Didn't I prepare in advance, naturally the prince doesn't know." ”

Xie Nuanyan thought that he would just take the samples and analyze the ingredients directly in the laboratory, but Qi Zhaoxiu took Xie Nuanyan and did not go back to the Tang Palace, but went all the way to a dark workshop behind the palace.

Xie Nuanyan asked strangely, "Why did you come here?" ”

"You might find useful information here." Qi Zhaoxiu said.

Xie Nuanyan said: "Didn't the concubine's medicine be taken from the imperial pharmacy?" ”

Qi Zhaoxiu said: "Naturally. It's just that the Imperial Pharmacy has collusion with the dark shop. From here, you can also know about medication. ”

Xie Nuanyan pondered, "Why don't you go to the imperial pharmacy and ask?" ”

Qi Zhaoxiu said: "The concubine is so guarded, I'm afraid that she would have guessed that we would go to the imperial pharmacy, if we really asked, we would be truthful, and then we would be instigated." ”

Xie Nuanyan pondered too.

The two of them entered the secret visit, and the bald old man who was guarding in front of the door, when he saw Qi Zhaoxiu, he knew that he was a prince, but his attitude was lukewarm, "Where did it come from, what to do?" ”

Qi Zhaoxiu said: "Those who come from the palace are looking for Suo Lonely." ”

The bald old man sneered, "Suo Lone, can you find it if you want to!" ”

Qi Zhaoxiu took out a gold ingot from his money bag, "This is for you." Then he took out another piece of scrap iron, "This is for Suo Lone." ”

The bald old man's attitude immediately changed, and he said respectfully: "Please, please inside the distinguished guest." ”

Xie Nuanyan thought to himself, scrap iron is not useful for gold?

The bald old man led the two of them all the way to the deep alley behind.

I saw that there were medicine cabinets lined up in the inside, like a pharmacy, but they looked very dirty.

Xie Nuanyan pondered that this dark workshop was leaning on the palace, but I was afraid that it wasn't for the palace to send medicine, right?

Soon, a very obscene-looking big fat head came out of it, and when he came out, the flesh all over his body was trembling.

The fierce god was vicious, but he said with a smile: "The Tang King is here, and he is not welcomed." ”

Qi Zhaoxiu used his sword to resist the fat man's footsteps and said, "It's all free." Just tell the king and the princess the prescription for treatment. ”

When the fat man heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "The prince is only afraid that he will be disappointed, and we have not obtained the prescription for Wang Guifei's illness." ”

"Oh?" Qi Zhaoxiu was skeptical.

"Really, King Tang, how dare we lie to you! I really didn't get it! The fat man said: "This princess was sick and didn't announce it to the public, if it weren't for the sudden request for a large amount of grass in the palace a few days ago, I wouldn't know that the concubine was seriously ill." ”

Xie Nuanyan took the words suspiciously, "Fucao? ”

"That's right, it's a very fragrant herb. This grassland is originally stomach-draining, and small families will also use it, but there are very few. ”

Xie Nuanyan thought for a while and asked him, "In addition to Fucao, is there a lot of medicinal use called Xuantong?" ”

The fat man stared at Xie Nuanyan strangely, "Where did the little girl come from, how do you know?" ”

Xie Nuanyan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, it's Xuantong." Except for Xuantong, no grass is used to hide the rancid smell. ”

Qi Zhaoxiu looked at her, "What do you mean?" ”

Xie Nuanyan said: "Xuantong is a medicine that blindly causes people to die of chronic poisoning. Moreover, the dosage can be controlled to achieve an accurate calculation of the time of death. This medicine is very easy to use, but the taste is very nasty, it is a rotten smell, and it can be covered up with Fu grass. ”

"Are Fucao and Xuantong generally used in pairs?"

Xie Nuanyan shook his head, "Naturally not." It is used to mask the taste of many traditional Chinese medicines, and it is very wide because it is extremely fragrant and sweet. But only Xuantong meets the characteristics of the concubine's chronic poisoning. ”

The fat man said: "This girl is so powerful, few people in Bianjing know about Xuantong." This Xuantong is an ancient herb, and no one has used it for a long time. In the past few days, someone in the palace has suddenly entrusted us with buying it. It took us a lot of time to get it. ”

"Because no one can find out about Xuantong, we are also very relieved."

Xie Nuanyan said: "It's over." I'm still familiar with these herbs. ”

I thought that the herbs she had tasted had never appeared here.

Coming out of this dark workshop, Qi Zhaoxiu said: "This is strange, you need to control the time to adjust the death of the concubine?" Who needs it? ”

Xie Nuanyan naturally didn't know, and she wasn't very familiar with the battles of these people in the palace.

For example, she couldn't remember who Qi Zhaoxiu's biological mother was, and whether there was any grudge between her and Concubine Wang. Of course, it's not easy for her to ask Qi Zhaoxiu about this, and if she asks, she is looking for scolding.

Qi Zhaoxiu led Xie Nuanyan back to the Tang Palace.

Qi Zhaoxiu should need to find clues and ask Xie Nuanyan to look back at the Snow Tower.

Xie Nuanyan rubbed his shoulders and turned back to look at Xuelou, and followed Cuizhu behind him and said, "Princess, can you have a harvest today?" Did the concubine see the hairpin on your head? ”

Xie Nuanyan touched his hair bun, only to find that he didn't know when, Cuizhu pinned the golden hairpin rewarded by Wang Guifei to his hair.

Xie Nuanyan couldn't help laughing: "You are bent on me trying to please them." ”

Cuizhu said: "The slave maid is naturally dedicated to the sake of the princess. The slaves and maids have all thought about it, and from now on, they want to eat with the prince every day. In this way, the relationship can be strengthened. ”

"How can you do that?"

"The slave maid said that the princess has an uncomfortable stomach these days and likes the food of Suxin Pavilion."

Xie Nuanyan: "......"

This Cuizhu is a one-hearted palace fight!
