With Twilight's order, the windows of the entire side hall were opened in an instant.

The cool night breeze then poured into the side hall, blowing away the increasingly rich sandalwood fragrance.

Chu Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly.

But Shen Shu was in her heart.

Shen Shu clearly felt that when the scent of sandalwood was blown away, the feeling of nausea in her body disappeared without a trace.

It seems that all this is not her hallucination.

The smell of the black pill, sure enough, there is something wrong.

Shen Shu thought of Fang Cai, and when she approached the incense pill, Twilight and Zeng closed the lid of the brocade box, and said that she "couldn't smell it".

She straightened up with Chu Yi's strength, looked at Twilight He solemnly, and asked bluntly: "Please also tell me bluntly, what is the mystery of this black pill, why do I feel like vomiting when I smell that smell?" ”

At the same time, the Tai Chi Temple.

It's time to go.

The eunuch in charge took the palace people, carried the washing things to the palace, and said to the queen who was guarding in front of the couch: "Niangniang, the time has come, it's time to serve the emperor to change clothes and go to bed." ”

Although the emperor was in a coma for a long time, his routine was no different from ordinary times under the instructions of the queen.

In particular, in order to prevent the emperor from developing bedsores, the imperial physician specially instructed that the emperor should be turned over and scrubbed regularly.

Therefore, every night is the time to serve the emperor to sleep, and it is also the time to turn over, change clothes, and scrub for the emperor.

This has been the practice for days these days.

The queen stood up, and was about to serve the emperor with her own hands to wash as usual—

But he suddenly realized that today was different from the past, and the emperor's daughter-in-law Xiao Qingchu, who was still kneeling in front of his bed, prayed for him.

The queen hesitated for a moment, and commanded to the left and right: "It is windy tonight, and it is cold in the palace." Go and move a screen and put together a charcoal basin, so as not to catch a cold for the emperor. ”

The eunuch in charge received the order, and after a while, he brought people in with screens and charcoal basins.

Xiao Qingchu, as the royal bride, saw that her mother-in-law was going to serve the unconscious emperor with her own hands, so she naturally didn't dare to kneel stupidly.

She straightened up, and was about to kneel down to the couch to serve—

But he was stopped by the queen waving her hand: "You go behind the screen and dry clothes for the emperor." ”

Xiao Qingchu responded, took the emperor's robe from the palace maid, and walked to the charcoal basin outside the screen.

The screen of the carved dragon of red sandalwood divides the spacious dormitory into two separate spaces.

Because the queen personally changed the emperor's clothes and groomed, the eunuchs and palace maids were all on the side.

On the contrary, Xiao Qingchu, who was outside the screen, was singled out for a while.

Xiao Qingchu carefully and attentively baked the emperor's clothes.

She didn't realize at all that the sachet she was wearing around her waist was roasting in a charcoal basin, exuding a faint and long sandalwood fragrance......

Taiji Hall side hall, Qingxin Pavilion.

Shen Shu's question made Chu Yi think of something, and his face changed slightly.

And Shen Jinming, who always carried a heart, breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, fortunately......

Not what he thought.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Twilight.

Twilight smiled a little bitterly and replied, "The mystery of the black incense pill, I have used many methods in the past three days, but I have not understood it thoroughly. ”

He paused and said: "On the contrary, I came out from the palace people who served the bath soup in Renshou Palace, and on the day the emperor was unconscious, the queen mother came back from the Taiji Hall and ordered her to feed this incense pill and water to the queen mother, so I deduced that this black pill may have the effect of detoxification." ”

"Serve with water?" Shen Shu's eyebrows moved slightly: "This thing was found in the bath room, and it should be used for bathing, why is it taken?" ”

"That's where the weirdness lies."

Twilight looked at her and said, "The palace people said that such incense pills in Renshou Palace are usually used for incense, and it was only on that day that the Queen Mother ordered someone to take out the incense pills in the bath room and take them with water. I also ordered this pill to be fed to rats, pigs, and cows, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

"Rats, pigs, and cows are large and small, and they are all living creatures, and since these living creatures can be safe and sound after taking the black pill, it means that the black pill is non-poisonous." Shen Shu asked in a deep voice, "Why did the gentleman say that I don't know if this black pill is a poison or an antidote?" ”

"It's Zhou Jinxi." Duhe said meaningfully: "Zhou Jinxi told me that the incense pills in the Queen Mother's palace have also been sent to the Taiji Palace. On the day the emperor fell into a coma, the Queen Mother specially ordered him to burn the same incense pill as the black pill. ”

Hearing this, Shen Shu's face changed slightly.

She remembered that day, after entering the Taiji Palace, the strong scent of sandalwood that made her sneeze came to her face in the hall.

"Right...... It is sandalwood aroma. ”

Shen Shu asked suspiciously: "But what went up and down the Taiji Hall that day, including incense pills and ashes, His Royal Highness had sent someone to check, and they were non-toxic, how could they ......?"

Halfway through the words, Shen Shu thought of something and frowned slightly.

Fang Cai Twilight had already said that the black pill had been tried on living creatures, and it was non-toxic.

That is, the black pill itself is non-toxic.

But just now, when she smelled the smell of the black pill after dissolving water, her body almost wanted to gause.

This means that the smell of black pills can be poisonous.

And yet—

If the smell of this black pill was really poisonous, she shouldn't be the only one who would have an uncomfortable reaction.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu looked at Chu Yi beside him, his brother Shen Jinming, and the doctors who were serving in this palace......

No one but her was sick to the smell.

Just like that day in the Taiji Palace, those who smelled the fragrance of sandalwood included the Queen Mother, Chu Yi, Duhe, and even many imperial doctors, as well as her!

None of them were poisoned.

If what Zhou Jinxi said is true, this black pill is the same thing as the incense pill burned in the Taiji Hall on the day the emperor fell into a coma.

Today, however, she reacts to the smell......

The only difference between her today and that day is that-

Three days ago, she was poisoned by the Buddha beads, and the remaining poison has not been cleared yet!

"Sir, do you think that the sandalwood aroma of this black pill has something to do with the poison on the Buddha beads?" Shen Shu asked solemnly.

Twilight nodded.

"Originally, I was just speculating...... I saw the girl's reaction and confirmed what she thought. If my prediction is correct, there should be a balance between the smell of this black pill and the poison on the Buddha beads. The Queen Mother applied white pills on her hands that day, although she could prevent poison, but she also smelled the smell of black pills, and the first thing she did when she returned to the palace was to take the black pills. ”

Speaking of this, Twilight's voice added a little helplessness.

"It's a pity that what this black pill is made of, the hospital has gone through the medical books up and down, and I don't know...... It's difficult, it's really the most right-right difficulty. ”

Eating it can detoxify, but burning it is very likely to become the introduction of the poison of Buddha beads.

The more Shen Shu knew, the more curious she became about this black pill.

What exactly is it made of that can have such a strange effect?

In the current situation, since they plan to rely on the black pill to save the emperor and unlock the mystery in the black pill, it is an urgent matter.

Thinking so, Shen Shu lightly broke away from Chu Yi's hand and walked to the brocade box containing the black pill.

She whispered, "It's just right, I haven't cleared the poison yet, so I'll try it myself and see what this thing is." ”
