"Y-you say it again!!" Qu Xiu's hands were shaking, and his face was already blue with anger.

Old Madam Qu was furious for a moment, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, the corners of her mouth were still stiff and raised, and her eyes were already covered with frost.

This Boling ...... She dared to answer like this in public!

Qu Xiu came back from the palace the day before yesterday and said that the emperor had sent an eleven or twelve-year-old female doll to treat the concubine, and he had to ask her to come into the palace to take a look, but she hadn't taken it seriously at that time.

How much of a storm can a girl who lost her mother when she was a child and has relied on her father and brother since she was a child set off?

But as soon as the confrontation was made today, Old Madam Qu saw Bai Ling's minions - between talking and laughing, she bit people without mercy.

However, Old Madam Qu's eyes turned slightly, and she finally calmed the anger in her heart.

This girl is no different from the shallow-eyed pariahs below, there are no rules in her mouth, no awe in her heart, and nothing she says will wake her up!

And such a person is not worth dwelling on at all.

The corners of Old Madam Qu's mouth sank slightly, with a little disgust, "Miss Nabai is wrong. The glory of the Qu family will never be borne on the shoulders of any descendant, the tide still rises and falls, how can my Qu family be more than the old ministers of the three dynasties? That is since the time of Taizu has enjoyed the vast imperial grace, and it has not been broken for a hundred years! ”

Bai Ling nodded respectfully, "Bai Ling has been taught. ”

"Mother! What are you talking to her about? Qu Xiu was so angry that he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and threw it at Bai Ling's face.

Bai Ling leaned back slightly, the note flew past her nose, and she quickly caught it—this was the "prescription" she had written here the day before.

There is not a single herb in the dense handwriting on it, it is all the instructions for mindfulness training.

Bai Ling continued the paper, his heart was already bright, no wonder Qu Xiu wanted to invite the old lady into the palace today, there was Bao Yuan, he couldn't get the recipe from the concubine.

It's no wonder that the cheeks of the Mandarin Duck were swollen just now.

"I said at the time that there must be a ghost in this prescription, and proposed that the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital jointly test the prescription, but no one listened to me, and the old hospital envoy - the old hospital envoy was also bought by her! What else did she do to endorse that this prescription was harmless! Qu Xiu pointed at Bai Ling viciously, "You tell me, can this also be considered a prescription?!" ”

Qu Xiu said in a loud and sonorous voice, spitting stars, and wishing that he could cure Bai Ling of a crime of bullying on the spot.

Bai Ling's expression was indifferent, and he carefully smoothed the paper with both hands, and then carefully tucked it into his sleeve.

"Lord Qu, the emperor has also seen this recipe."

"So what!" Qu Xiu waved his hand, "The emperor is eager to seek treatment, so he was bewitched by your cheap words." If I hadn't kept an eye on it, I would have dragged my mother into the palace today, but I was afraid that our family would still be kept in the dark by you! ”

Qu Xiu wanted to scold again, but the old lady Qu suddenly coughed - the treasure duck in the room had already opened all the curtains, opened the windows and opened the door, and those rich incense wafted outside, causing the old lady Qu to cough again.

Qu Xiu had to stop for a while, leaning over to care, Old Madam Qu waved her hand, "Don't get in the way." ”

Bai Ling sniffed, no wonder she felt that this smell was somewhat familiar before—this was the incense she smelled in the outer hall when she first came to Chengqian Palace.

Bai Ling thought of something, his eyebrows were shallow, and he walked into the room, ignoring Qu Xiu's questioning behind him.

She searched for the smell and walked to the incense burner that was placed behind the curtain in the back room.

Originally, I thought that the outer hall was enough to choke people, but the inner room where the concubine was was even more exaggerated, the blue smoke was visible to the naked eye, and Qu Shi was still lying behind the gauze tent, and the coughing did not stop.

Bai Ling covered his nose and opened the openwork silver lid on the top of the incense burner, only to see that there were more than a dozen incense pillars about a finger long, each of which was much thicker than ordinary incense.

At this moment, they were almost all burned out, but the ashes still stood there in their previous form.

Bai Ling's face also turned cold, "Why did you light this incense again and close the doors and windows of the house?" ”

Before the treasure duck in the middle could answer, the old lady Qu had already snorted coldly, she looked at the girl in front of her with a little disdain, and replied coldly, "This is the incense of Buddha bones." ”

Buddha bone incense?

Hearing this name, Bai Ling had a slight foreboding in his heart.

"Guiqiu." Old Madam Qu looked at the mother-in-law on the side, "Take out all the sachets." ”

The old woman hurriedly handed over a hand basket, the basket put three kinds of sachets of royal blue, pink and black sachets, each sachet on both sides are embroidered with the Buddha's heart mark "swastika", but the stitches are very rough, the wrong needles are everywhere, and there are many threads that have not been twisted clean are directly exposed outside.

"It's gone." Old Madam Qu said again.

The mother-in-law carried the basket down the steps and distributed the sachets according to the errand of the palace people. On weekdays, those who will enter the house to serve are all royal blue, and the rest of the eunuchs are black, and the palace maids are pink and white, and they are very particular about the distribution.

Each palace person lowered his head and took the sachet from his mother-in-law with great gratitude.

After the distribution was completed, Old Madam Qu took a step forward with her cane, her voice was not loud, so every palace person pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word and a half.

"This sachet was personally consecrated by the Master of Mercy and Grace of Donglin Temple, which can ward off disasters and evil spirits. Those of you who serve on a daily basis, wear them well. On weekdays, your hands and feet should also be neat, don't touch anything that is not clean, and when the time comes, you will bring bad luck to this Chengqian Palace, which will make Niangniang feel unwell. ”

The people below clenched the sachets one after another, and replied in unison, "Yes." ”

"And these Buddha bone incense ......"

Mrs. Qu said, the mother-in-law on the other side walked over with a brocade box in her hand, and under the guidance of Mrs. Qu's eyes, the mother-in-law handed the brocade box to the palace maid standing at the front holding a royal blue sachet.

Old Madam Qu continued, "Master Ci'en said that Niangniang's illness this time is a natural disease, so the hospital will not be able to cure it. There is no one in the world who can cure such a disease, because she is suffering for the people of Li in my Great Zhou, which is a great blessing and a destined practice. The fact that you can wait here at this time is also an opportunity to cultivate in your previous life, and you must cherish it. ”

The palace people looked at each other and looked at Old Madam Qu suspiciously.

"Excuse me...... Old lady. A man spoke timidly.

"Say."

"We ...... What can be done? ”

"Every day, I light thirteen sticks of Buddha bone incense in the house, and let the mother soak in the Buddha incense for an hour. From this day onwards, each day should be postponed by one hour from the previous day, and there should be no mistake for a moment, until twelve hours have passed, and then the reverse will be repeated. ”

Bai Ling watched this scene quietly, and suddenly felt a little emotional. She didn't know whether to admire the imagination of people in this era of disease, or to lament the fate of the noble concubine on the sickbed at this moment.

"Let's wait."

Bai Ling said, holding the incense burner and walked out of the house, because the incense burner was a little heavy, she had some difficulty holding it.

"The sachet can be worn, but the Buddha bone incense must not be lit."
