At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was at its hottest, and the guards at the gate of Xianya Palace were also impatient and relaxed their vigilance.

Just like yesterday, it was easy for Zhiqiu to bring Shang Kelan with her makeup to the Tai Hospital.

After a few hours of sleep and rest, although Shang Kelan's eyes were still a little bloodshot, she seemed to be in a good state of mind after all.

It's just that what the two of them didn't notice was that since they left Xianya Palace, there had been a small tail following the two of them, but the person's steps were very light and would not attract attention.

In this scorching weather, the people in the other palaces didn't want to move, only the people in the Tai Hospital were still busy, His Majesty had already given a death order before, if they couldn't find a cure for the plague, they would remove all their Tai Doctor's black gauze hats!

Yes, in the busy time, no one will pay attention to the two little palace maids Zhiqiu and Shang Kelan.

Shang Kelan said to Zhiqiu: "You continue to go to the pharmacy to make your pills, and I will do my experiments, you don't have to worry about me, we will meet in the library pavilion at the end of the day." ”

Zhiqiu nodded, glanced at her worriedly, and said, "Okay, Niangniang be careful." ”

In this way, the two went their separate ways.

As soon as she pushed open the door and entered Li Chenxiu's pharmacy, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind her: "Entering my pharmacy is so sneaky, those who don't know still think I have a personal relationship with you." ”

Shang Kelan's face was slightly red, and she glanced at him angrily: "Don't talk about it, how is the little mouse I treated yesterday?" ”

Li Chenxiu glanced at Shang Kelan in front of him, who was still dressed yesterday, looking earthy and ordinary, and sweating profusely, as if he had braved the sun to rush over, and his whole face was tanned.

However, her eyes seemed to have a light, which was very simple and moving, which reminded Li Chenxiu of the days when he first met Concubine Ning.

After a short pause, he shook his head, lifted the curtain on the table, revealed the stiff guinea pig inside, and said, "It's dead." ”

As he spoke, he didn't seem to think it was enough, and added: "When you pricked it with a needle yesterday, you stabbed it to death." ”

Shang Kelan was suddenly speechless.

There was silence in the air for a while, and after a while, Shang Kelan pulled down the curtain a little curtainly, lifted the cage containing the guinea pig, and said, "Forget it, I'll dispose of it." ”

It's just that the look of loss on her face can't be hidden, and there is still some sadness in her eyes: with her little means, how can she save her father?

Li Chenxiu took the guinea pig in her hand and threw it into the Dan furnace in the room, and in an instant, the fire in the Dan furnace devoured its body.

Shang Kelan was taken aback and looked at him in surprise: "Why did you throw it into the Dan furnace?" ”

"Don't worry, this Dan furnace is not used for refining medicine, and has always been used by me as a failed product of incineration."

Li Chenxiu said lightly, and then gave Shang Kelan some prescriptions, and said: "You first find out these medicinal materials, and then fry three bowls of water into one bowl, the color of the decoction must be black, pure black, if there is a little sweet taste in the bitterness, it means that the medicine is fried." ”

Shang Kelan seemed to understand and said, "What is this medicine for?" ”

"Cure the plague."

In just five words, Shang Kelan was shocked, and suddenly, Shang Kelan looked at him happily: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

As she spoke, she came to the medicine stove and used the clay pot on it to fry the medicine.

And Li Chenxiu looked at her hard work, smiled slightly, turned around and picked up the pen and wrote something. 520

"Shhh

Suddenly, Shang Kelan gasped, Li Chenxiu raised his eyes, but saw Shang Kelan enduring the pain, sucking on the fingers burned by the fire, and her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, but she just held it back, and she didn't care about the decoction.

Even Li Chenxiu himself didn't notice it, and a smile slowly curled up on his lips.

At this time, outside the window.

After seeing all this in his eyes, he sneered and turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

Youshi, Ximeng Palace.

Zhao Kehan sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and the palace maids around him were holding all kinds of luxurious and beautiful decorations in their hands, and Zhao Kehan was bothering a lot about handling the affairs of the Midyear Festival at this time.

In order to let Jin Yantang see her hard work as soon as she came in, Zhao Kehan was unwilling to fake this matter to others.

At this time, a palace maid hurriedly walked in, and respectfully saluted and reported: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Concubine Chen has news!" ”

knew that Shang Kelan was deeply favored by His Majesty, so Zhao Kehan kept people staring at Shang Kelan.

After listening to the palace maid's words, she put down the account book in her hand, raised her eyes and stared at her tightly, "What is the news?" Say it! ”

"Niangniang, the slave maid followed Concubine Chen's Niangniang today, and found that she dressed up as a palace maid and mixed up with Tai Doctor Li from the Tai Hospital, the two talked and laughed, and they looked very close!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan was overjoyed, and immediately got up and came to her and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Back to the mother, the slave will never dare to say half a lie!"

The palace maid hurriedly raised her head and looked at Zhao Kehan seriously, seeing this, Zhao Kehan laughed twice and said, "Great, great, God help me!" ”

Then, she calmed down again and looked at the people in the dormitory: "Today's matter must not leak the slightest rumor, if anyone dares to spread it, don't blame the palace for being ruthless!"

"Yes, sis!"

Suddenly, these palace maids hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

At this time, the palace maid outside came to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Concubine Hua asks to see." ”

Zhao Kehan raised his eyebrows, lifted his bun, and said disapprerovitically: "What is she doing here?" ”

As he spoke, Red Sleeves stepped forward to help her, and the two went to the main hall of Ximeng Palace one after the other.

In the main hall, Concubine Hua brought a gift, and when she saw Zhao Kehan, she asked Yue'er to present the gift to her, and said with a smile: "Concubine Jiagui, this palace got some good ice white jade bracelets from home a few days ago, so I specially came to bring it to you, it has the effect of cooling down the heat, and it is a rare piece of cold jade." ”

Hearing her boast of such a miracle, Zhao Kehan opened the gift box and looked at it, and after seeing that there were two white jade ice seed bracelets inside, she smiled slightly, closed the lid, and said to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua is polite, I came here today, but what's the matter?" ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Red Sleeves, who hurriedly served chilled melons and fruits to Concubine Hua.

After Concubine Hua ate a piece of watermelon, she pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and smiled at Zhao Kehan: "I can't hide it, this palace came with good news this time, but this person has a lot of eyes, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to say......"

As she spoke, she glanced at the maids around her, and suddenly, Zhao Kehan waved her hand at them, and these people retreated one by one.

Then, Concubine Hua looked at Zhao Kehan with an excited face and said: "Today, when the palace maid of this palace went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine, she bumped into Zhiqiu of Xianya Palace talking to a little palace maid, so she leaned over to make a sound, but I didn't expect that the palace maid was actually disguised by Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen and Imperial Doctor Li were in the same room, and the words were not ambiguous!" ”
