Chapter Ninety-Three: Find Someone to Test the Medicine
"Are you saying that because of the lack of a medicine, the Dan Father Emperor who has refined it is very dissatisfied?" After listening to the narrative of the zodiac, Lin Tiankuo found the focus of the topic.
"That's true." The zodiac answered truthfully.
"What's the name of that herb?" Lin Tiankuo asked.
"Poppy." The zodiac knew that the prince suspected that there was something wrong with it, but he was quite unimpressed, and it was difficult for a layman to explain the complementarity of the medicinal herbs.
Without waiting for Lin Tiankuo to ask, he explained the effect of the poppy: "Its general use is to dry the fruit to cure cough and diarrhea. It is considered a relatively ordinary medicinal material. β
"There's nothing special about this medicine?"
"Well......" the zodiac hesitated, "but it's a little different, this time it's used differently. According to Danfang's records, he used white pulp squeezed out of his unripe fruit. β
"Is there a book of the white pulp in the fruit that records its effect?"
"Not recorded." The zodiac answered honestly. Although he felt that Lin Tiankuo was a little too cautious, he didn't dare to express any opinion on this matter.
There is no such thing as a record of utility...... That is, no one knows that it exists?
Will Gao Tingting repeat her old tricks? In her previous life, the medicine she used to control people was the juice of poppy fruit?
Once you start thinking in this direction, many details can be corresponded: does the fact that the father was furious when he left it, does it prove that he has become dependent on this drug?
Lin Tiankuo's heart tightened, and he wanted to quickly advise his father, but reason stopped him. In his previous life, he separated from his father because of his own uprightness, and this time he couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past, so he had to think of a way not to misunderstand.
Find someone to take medicine, and let my father see the effect himself is the most direct. He instructed the zodiac to prepare some poppy juice for him, and told the zodiac to retreat.
The zodiac man was glad that the prince did not want to punish him, and it seemed that he had escaped this catastrophe. He didn't expect that no one would dare to reuse him with a wall-like character like himβwhat the superior values is not only ability but also loyalty.
Loyalty, Muyin has. He has been serving by Lin Tiankuo's side since he was seven years old, and he understands his character, so he respects his master in his heart. Although the master is in a high position, he has a generous and benevolent personality, and he really treats them as "people".
Although he thinks that this time the master arranged for him to find a few death row prisoners to test the medicine, unlike what the master would do on weekdays, he also did it meticulously.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Lin Tiankuo asked the four kneeling people in front of him.
I heard Mu Yin say that these four are all ruthless people, and the lives of their subordinates are more than one hand, even if they help him test the medicine, they can't let them live to harm the common people again.
It's hard to imagine that the four people in front of him with vegetable-faced, disheveled hair, and clean and ill-fitting clothes (it should be Mu Yin who cleaned them before bringing them in) are the most heinous people in Mu Yin's mouth. There were many unhealed wounds on the parts of their bodies that were not covered by clothing, and they wanted to suffer a lot in prison, but at the moment there was no Wether on their faces, at least they were determined people.
"Just let us take the medicine and see what the medicine is for!" The man on the far left replied loudly.
"Even if you help me, you will still be executed, do you know?" Lin Tiankuo stressed that he would not pardon their death sentences and let them choose for themselves.
"Know! I just want to come to the palace and see what it's like here! You can also have a bragging capital with others when you go underground! β
"No matter how bad your conditions are here, it's better than in prison. Even if you give us poison, we won't have to put up with the stench of prison! β
Lin Tiankuo reminded again: "Aren't you afraid of eating poison?" β
As soon as this sentence came out, all four of them laughed.
They have long been ready to die, if there is no opportunity to test the medicine, they can only die in prison, and if they can enter the palace for a while, they have earned it, what is there to worry about.
They were not afraid of death, and at that time they did not expect that there was a medicine in the world that would make them "unable to live, unable to die".
Lin Tiankuo's side arranged things in an orderly manner, but Li Yi's side had some people on their backs.
She became a celebrity in the capital because of the marriage decree, although Lin Tiankuo arranged for people to bring a wave of rhythm in the city, but that set of rhetoric can be used to fool the foolish people, where can you hide the real people in the upper circle?
Everyone was curious about why the emperor chose Chen Xiaoyun for the crown prince, and wanted to find out some inside information. But they didn't dare to ask the emperor, so they could only ask another party - Chen Xiaoyun. So she received a lot of posts.
It's rude for her not to reply, but she really doesn't have the energy to sit down and reply seriously.
The fact that she is about to get married did not cause a particularly big ripple in her heart - even if the marriage partner is the person she likes, Li Yi clearly knows that marriage is just a change of place to realize her own value, and she must not give up self-improvement just because she married a good man.
Therefore, she still got up early every day to make breakfast for the old lady, and then went to Chen's mother to learn how to take care of the house after the holy decree came down. In the afternoon, she stayed in the kitchen to study the dishes for receiving foreign guests. She can't be idle at night, she has to start embroidering dowry items.
Although she doesn't need to do the big items herself, she does need to do small items such as pillows and her husband's underwear and socks. Li Yi knew that his embroidery skills were zero, so he could only practice secretly at night. The two girls persuaded her not to embroider at night, and the original words were like this: "Miss, the light is not good at night, you can't see clearly, and you can't give full play to your usual strength." What they didn't know was that what Li Yi wanted wanted them to misunderstand.
Her schedule is very full, and only in the afternoon practice time can she reply to the posts that invite her in the study one by one.
For three days in a row, she stayed in the study for an hour every day, but she didn't write a single reply. The posts were piling up more and more, and she had never been a well-rounded person, so she couldn't find a way to turn them down decently.
She had to ask Chen's mother for help.
"You want to say no to them all?" Li Yi's idea surprised Chen's mother.
"They were just curious about me and wanted to see why I married the prince. I'm not obligated to satisfy their curiosity, am I? Li Yi said rather scoundrelly.
Chen's mother patted her on the back and reminded her to sit up straight. Although her daughter is smart, she always deliberately avoids contact with people, and Xiaocui is a little relieved by such signs.
"Some socialization is necessary." She told her daughter this very directly.
Li Yi pursed her lips, quite aggrieved.
When Mother Chen saw her expression, she glared at her, and said helplessly: "I'm about to become the crown princess, and I'm still like a child who can't grow up." β
"Even if Yun'er gets married, she will still be your child."
She is going to be coquettish to the end today.
