Chapter 221: Who's Different
Father-in-law Lu was grinding ink on the side, rice paper was spread on the bookcase, Jiang Changxi wrote a prescription with a pen, and handed it to Father-in-law Lu, "Please be careful, go back quickly." ”
Gonggong Lu took the prescription and carefully folded it into his arms, "Don't dare to delay, please rest assured princess." ”
Gonggong Lu has served by the emperor's side for many years, and he also has some foundations in this palace, and naturally he also has a few henchmen, Xiao Lizi is one, and the little eunuch in the medicine warehouse who helped him get medicine is also one.
Jiang Changxi was surprised that his speed was so fast, and at the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that the situation in the palace was not as grim as she imagined, if the emperor could wake up from the coma, maybe everything could be reversed.
Jiang Changxi suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
She carefully checked the medicines brought back by Father-in-law Lu, and personally inspected each medicinal material, in case someone used similar medicinal materials to pretend or secretly poison the patient, delaying the patient's condition.
After confirming that the medicinal materials were correct, Jiang Changxi handed the medicine to Father-in-law Lu again, "Father-in-law, there is no problem with this medicine." ”
"That's good, that's good." Father-in-law Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, "That old slave asked people to fry the medicine." ”
Jiang Changxi is not familiar with everything in the palace, so she naturally listens to the arrangement of Father-in-law Lu, she only needs to be responsible for the treatment, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
The people under Gonggong Lu are also very neat, and in an hour, a bowl of thick soup was served, and after Jiang Changxi saw that it was non-toxic, he asked Gonggong Lu to feed the emperor and drink it.
"Princess, when will the emperor wake up?" Although the emperor did not get some incurable poison, the emperor never woke up, and Father-in-law Lu was also terrified.
"Two hours after taking the medicine, I should wake up." Jiang Changxi took the pulse of the emperor again, conservative and authentic.
Gonggong Lu didn't know much about this, but when he heard Jiang Changxi say this, he could barely feel at ease, "I'm going to wronged the princess and hide in the secret passage these days." Rest assured, the old slave and others will definitely protect the princess. ”
"I believe what Grandpa Lu said." Jiang Changxi smiled and looked at Ji Yunlin, "I have arrived in the palace safely, the second son doesn't have to stay in the palace with me, it's better to leave the palace as soon as possible, so as not to worry Lord Xiao Ji." "The palace is not a safe place now, she has said to the public that she has resigned from the north with Hanwei, and no one will suspect her for the time being. And Ji Yunlin is different, if he disappears for too long, he will definitely attract the attention of the three princes and others.
What is the situation in Lindu City now, Ji Yunlin, who is half a foot in the court, knows better than Jiang Changxi, "The princess entered the palace safely, the emperor is safe for the time being, and Yunlin's task is completed, so I will leave first." ”
Xiao Lizi sent Ji Yunlin to leave from the dark passage, Jiang Changxi did not return to the secret passage with him, and Father-in-law Lu took her to the ear room for a short rest.
"Father-in-law Lu, can you ask a question?" Jiang Changxi shouted to Gonggong Lu, who was about to leave.
"Don't dare, don't dare, if the princess has any questions, just ask directly." Father-in-law Lu respects Jiang Changxi very much, and he almost has a few big characters written on the door of his head.
Seeing this, Jiang Changxi also said bluntly, "What did the emperor eat before he fell into a coma?" What did you touch? Who did you come into contact with? ”
Lu Gonggong guessed that Jiang Changxi was looking for the reason why the emperor was in a coma. These questions had been asked by the Queen Mother and the Imperial Physician before, but at that time they didn't know why the emperor was unconscious, so they had no clue. But now it's different, Jiang Changxi can save the emperor, he must know what poison the emperor has, and maybe he can find clues.
With such an idea, Gonggong Lu counted the people the emperor had seen that day one by one, "The emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, worried about state affairs, twelve hours a day, five or six hours are in the imperial study to review and review the folds, meet with the ministers, and the rest of the time will be early, and he will go to the queen mother's palace to ask for peace, etc., and even the time for rest is less." ”
Father-in-law Lu said, "If you want to say that the emperor saw a lot of people that day, there are really a lot of people, the three princes, the two grandfathers of Qin and An, the Marquis of Jing'an, and the prince of Zhong...... I ate less, except for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I drank more tea, and everything I touched was a twist. Father-in-law Lu said all the words that returned to the Queen Mother that day, and even more detailed than what he said to the Queen Mother.
Father-in-law Lu asked her a little cautiously, "Princess, but is there something wrong with this?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Changxi didn't want to hide it from Father-in-law Lu, Father-in-law Lu served the emperor every day, and was the person who was most familiar with the emperor's daily itinerary. "Father-in-law Lu, please recall, are there any particularly suspicious things in these people that the emperor has seen, or what he eats and touches?"
Father-in-law Lu had thought about this question carefully a long time ago, and he didn't think of anything at that time. Now that Jiang Changxi asked again, Father-in-law Lu still thought about it carefully, one thing at a time, one by one, and in the end, Father-in-law Lu could only say to her with guilt on his face: "Back to the princess, there really isn't." ”
This time, even Jiang Changxi was a little hesitant, could it be that she wanted to stubble?
"Princess, what kind of poison did the emperor have? Can it be harmful to the dragon's body? "Gonggong Lu still has doubts about the poison in the emperor, and when he thinks about it, he drums in his heart. Even the imperial doctor can't find out the poison, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along.
"The emperor is not only poisoned." Jiang Changxi's face was calm, and the words he said sounded like thunder in Lu Gonggong's ears.
"You...... What do you say? Grandpa Lu couldn't believe his ears.
"You heard it right, when the emperor was poisoned, he also fell into a kind of worm Gu that was guided by poison."
"Worm Gu?" For the word Gu, Gonggong Lu is no stranger. Not to mention the ground rot Gu and white bone plague that made a fuss some time ago, that is, the southern Xinjiang prince Yin Chuzhi, who is good at insect Gu techniques, has still lived in Lindu for several years, and that is also the time when Lu Gonggong is closest to the insect Gu, "But, didn't Prince Yin go back to southern Xinjiang...... "This will be that southern Xinjiang is still fighting with the three kingdoms of Dahong and Xuanlang, and now there are still hands that can reach into the Dahong Palace?"
Jiang Changxi shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be Yin Chuzhi, even if it is, he doesn't have to be on the scene in person." "What's more, Yin Chuzhi also has a cronie Xie Ziying, who is still lurking in Dahong and has no trace.
suddenly thought of the assassination in Xishan Academy, and Jinfeng's speculation at that time was that the leader was Xie Ziying. In this way, Xie Ziying is very likely to be in Lindu City?
It's not out of the question. Jiang Changxi thought about it, but he didn't know how much the emperor's coma had to do with him.
"Father-in-law Lu, if you think about it carefully, among those people the emperor has seen, is there anyone who is different from usual? For example, are there any clothes and accessories that you usually wear that day that you don't usually like? Speech and demeanor or deliberately close and distant? ”
"This ......" said a sentence of worshipping high and stepping on low, Gonggong Lu, as the chief eunuch who served closely by the emperor's side, welcomed and sent to many important princes and ministers and concubines every day, and it was impossible for him to remember the preferences and preferences of everyone who came and went. Jiang Changxi suddenly asked this, and he really couldn't answer for a while.
However, Jiang Changxi's question is also quite pertinent, and Gonggong Lu thought about the range she demarcated, and really came up with something abnormal for him, "The third prince did not wear his purple seal dragon pattern jade pendant that day, which was given by the emperor on the wedding day of the third prince, because it was carved with dragon patterns, the dignity is abnormal, and the three princes have always been with him." But the third prince didn't wear it that day, but instead wore another jade pendant with a black body, and the pattern was also weird. The old slave was stupid and couldn't see what the pattern on the jade pendant was. ”
"By the way, the third prince also served the emperor a cup of tea that day. This has always been the norm. Every time the three princes came to greet the emperor, they always had to personally serve a cup of tea to the emperor. Because it was too ordinary, Gonggong Lu didn't care too much, "In addition to the third prince, the Marquis of Jing'an also came that day." Because...... The Marquis of Jing'an has not been treated by the emperor for many years, and if there is nothing important, he rarely comes to the palace, but that day because of the prince's business, he entered the palace to ask the emperor. ”
Father-in-law Lu's suspicious pause didn't need to think about it, but it was also due to the unhappy marriage between Jing'anhou and Princess Nanxiang.
This is the love and hatred of the elders, Jiang Changxi is not good at evaluating anything, just don't hear it, and don't discuss it in detail with Father-in-law Lu, but Jing'an Hou came to the palace to ask the emperor because of the cold matter?
Jiang Changxi's thoughts froze, and his eyes narrowed, "What did Jing'an Hou come to ask the emperor for?" ”
Since Gonggong Lu specially proposed it, he naturally wouldn't hide it from Jiang Changxi, and after thinking about it for a while, he told him, "The princess also knows that although there are groups of wives and concubines in the backyard of Jing'an Hou, the only sons in law are the prince and the sinner Lu Shenxing. The qualifications of the children of the concubine are mediocre and useless, the sinner Lu Shenxing died, and there was no successor to the century-old family business of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so the Jing An Hou wanted the prince to recognize his ancestors and return to the ancestors, so as to inherit the lintel of the Jing'an Hou Mansion. ”
Gonggong Lu glanced at Jiang Changxi, and said hesitantly: "I heard that on the first day of the new year, the old lady of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion personally came to the palace to see the princess and princess, but was driven out by the prince's order. In fact, he also wanted to say that he heard that the princess was also quite fierce that day, and when the old lady was angry and scolded the prince, the princess ordered someone to bring a basin of dog blood and splash it out......
On the first day of the new year...... It just so happened that Jiang Changxi woke up from Ji Yunsen's secret room, and accompanied Han Weizhi to hide in the old money couple to steal half a day of leisure. Jiang Changxi remembered the secret guard who suddenly appeared that day, and said a lot of things outside, but he didn't mention it. It seems to have been deliberately concealed.
You don't have to think about it to know why it's hidden.
This cold has not resigned, and she is really regarded as a delicate flower and tender grass that has never seen wind and rain.
"What is the emperor's attitude?" Jiang Changxi only asked the emperor what he thought about this matter. She knew that Han Weiqi would definitely not want to go back. But if it is the emperor's decree, even if it is cold, it cannot be easily disobeyed.
