Chapter 333
Thinking about how stupidly I was lifting water just now, it's good that people didn't laugh out loud.
Quietly full of embarrassment, he raised his eyes embarrassedly, and came into contact with the man's deep eyes, and the whiteness of his brocade robe, which was cold in the sun.
Quietly twitched his heart out of thin air, and his eyes quickly moved away, this is the second time he has helped him, speaking of which, although this father-in-law has a bad reputation, his heart is not bad.
"Thank you, thank you!"
After the words thank you were spoken, the man did not respond, but leaned down, picked up a little spring water, tasted it, and pondered something.
"The ministers have eaten the food in the imperial dining room, and they all suffer from intestinal diseases, which is probably related to the drinking water here, not as serious as Lord Leng said."
His voice sounded soothing, but firm.
"But my lord, I've been drinking this water for decades, and I haven't had any problems. What's more, now it looks like the water is very clear, and there is nothing wrong with it. The brocade guard also leaned down, tasted it, and shook his head.
It turned out that the food in the imperial dining room had spoiled the stomachs of the ministers?
Although intestinal disease is not a big deal, if the minister can't go to the court every once in a while, the impact will naturally be not small, and the outer imperial dining room, as the department in charge of the minister's diet in the palace, is naturally difficult to get rid of.
Is there really something wrong with this spring?
Quietly looked around the spring, only the thick snow and the exposed edge of the cyan rock, the water was clear, and there were some gravel at the bottom of the water, and it seemed that there was no problem.
She didn't just lift the water and leave, but curiously reached out and took a little water, sniffed it in front of her nose, and there was a faint smell, not from the rocks, but from ......
His eyes rose slightly, and he quietly saw a huge pine tree on the top of the spring, which may have loosened its roots and slanted down for some reason, and it should have been some time.
"I thought of it!" Quietly shouted out suddenly.
Her cold voice frightened the two brocade-clothed men who drew their swords and looked at her vigilantly, not knowing why she was screaming like this.
The man who leaned over to check the water quality also looked at it suspiciously, not understanding what the little palace maid who was carrying water understood?
"This little palace maid ......"
The brocade-clothed man was really displeased, he took his sword, rushed over, and lifted the collar of his shirt.
"I said, the adults are handling the case, you don't leave with water? What's yelling? ”
Quietly trembling in fright, knowing that he was too excited just now, he quickly shook his hand and said.
"No, don't, I'm just too excited, because I know why everyone has an intestinal problem from drinking this water."
A quiet sentence made everyone stunned, and when the man in white heard this, he slowly stood up from the spring, and looked at Quiet with scrutinizing eyes.
Climb to the top
Quietly seeing that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly pulled away the hand of the brocade guard. Love to see the flowers
"Wait for me, I'll climb up and see."
"Climb up?" The doubt in the eyes of the man in the white shirt became even stronger, where was she going to crawl?
"Climb up there, there!"
Quietly pointing in the direction of the crooked pine tree, then rubbing his hands, stuffing the trouser leg that was in the way, and tying his belt again, he really planned to climb.
Judging from the visual inspection results, the distance below is about 50 meters away from the old pine tree above, and although it is not easy to climb up, it is not so difficult
Quietly felt that she owed Chen Gonggong a favor, and if she helped him solve the mystery of the spring, the two of them would be even.
"Are you sure you're going to climb up?" The man looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked incredulously.
"Of course."
Although he is not a big person, he never lies, and he says it, and there is no reason not to climb.
She shook her calves, then took a step, skirted the mouth of the spring, and walked towards the mountain, and when she stood below and looked up, a cold sweat broke out.
I didn't think it was too difficult to look at it from that angle just now, but now I changed my position, and when I looked up, I realized how steep it was, almost straight up and down, and the big pine tree seemed to be about to fall off its head at any moment.
I have the heart to walk back, but imagine what I just said, it's really shameless to give up at this time, climb it, it's a big deal to fall down and fall, and they can't watch her fall to death.
Indeed, when he quietly reached out and began to grasp the protruding rock, the man had already winked at the two attendants.
"Liu Zhang, Xu Jin, you go up and have a look."
"Yes, sir."
The two brocade-clad guards nodded, withdrew their swords from their waists, and then suddenly leaped to their feet, climbed the rock, and in a few clicks, they were quietly ahead.
A burst of dust and snow flew down, and she quietly covered her cheeks with her hands, raised her eyes, and looked through the gaps between her fingers, she found that Chen Gonggong's two entourages had stood in the position of the pine tree at some point.
It's really embarrassing, the people are already in place, and she has only climbed a distance of less than five or six meters.
The man's deep voice came from beneath her feet.
"I'll let them go up, you come down."
"I said I can climb it......
Quietly arguing forcefully, he secretly said in his heart, why didn't he say it earlier, if those two guys could climb up so easily, why did she bother to make this effort, what did she do with this foreign appearance?
The hand grasped the protruding stone, and when she quietly looked back, her heart immediately twitched, and cold sweat poured up all over her body in an instant, how she climbed out of five or six meters I don't know, I only know that I can't go down at this time.
"Chen, Grandpa Chen, let's go! I'm coming down. Quietly shouted nervously.
The man was quietly shouted like this, a little unclear, did he stand here and hinder her from coming down? His feet symbolically took a step back, but the step of exit was small.
Why don't you take a few more steps back? If she fell down like this, she wouldn't hit him, so she was a little anxious and shouted louder.
"Grandpa Chen, get out of the way again!"
The man's brow furrowed, and he took another step back.
Quietly seeing him take such a small step, a small step back, when will he be able to withdraw from the range below?
For a while, I was quietly a little suspicious, this Chen Gonggong may have a little back in his ears, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to understand her words, forget it, she is very sure that if she falls down at this time, she will definitely smash Chen Gonggong.
I don't know what to do
But Chen Gonggong didn't dodge like this, and there was no way to do it quietly, she tried to slowly release the protruding stone with one hand, trying to find a good support point to lower her feet, but the other foot was stressed by the weight, and the stone was difficult to load, so she suddenly loosened and fell, screamed quietly, and her body fell straight down. Love to see the flowers
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, save ......"
Before the word "life" could be shouted, she felt that her arm was grabbed by someone, and then she pulled and pulled, her body deviated from the trajectory of the fall, and directly crashed into the arms of a person, who took advantage of the situation to hold her waist and put her firmly on the ground.
"You can't climb the mountain, but you still have to be strong?" A deep voice rang out in his ears with a hint of reproach.
Quietly frightened, he saw a handsome face close at hand, he was frowning at her, his arms remained in a stalemate position, and did not move away from her waist.
A moment of sluggishness made Quietly feel embarrassed.
"I didn't, it's okay......"
She shyly pushed his arm, and only then did he come back to his senses, indifferently withdrew his arm, took a step back, and widened the distance between him and her, with a slightly unnatural expression.
He saved her again?
Standing quietly on the ground, his heart was still pounding, I don't know if this heartbeat was because he was scared by falling just now, or because he was too close to a strange man?
His temperature was still on her waist, inexplicably making her feel a burst of heat
Is this reaction normal? Of course it's not normal, although the man in front of him looks suave and dignified, he is not a man at all, he is Gonggong Chen of the Tai Hospital, and he is a eunuch.
After a burst of crimson on his face, he gradually turned white, and a heartbeat in his life turned out to be caused by a eunuch, and the ripples in his heart were too abnormal.
"My lord, there's nothing here, what are you doing here?" On the hillside, Liu Zhang and Xu Jin searched around for a long time, but they didn't find anything unusual.
As soon as they shouted, Quietly came back to his senses immediately, forgot the embarrassment just now, raised his head eagerly, and responded loudly.
"Look at the trunk of the pine tree, the branches, if there is any condensed yellow oil, and then see if there are any signs of dripping on the rocks under the pine tree."
After quietly shouting, he found that the brocade-clothed man named Liu Zhang was just looking at him silently, without any movement, and Xu Jin didn't seem to intend to pay attention to her.
"You, you ......" quietly opened and closed their mouths, unable to speak, their movements of climbing up were quite fast, but unfortunately it was of little use.
"Liu Zhang, Xu Jin, take a look as she said."
Quietly beside him, the man gave a loud order behind his hands.
Liu Zhang's face was stupid, but he had to lower his head and start checking, and Xu Jin also jumped up and went to check the rock.
Quietly their faces were gloomy, these two guys only listened to Gonggong Chen, and ignored her words, which made her feel faceless, so she closed her mouth and didn't speak, just waiting for the results of the examination.
After a while, Liu Zhang and Xu Jin finished checking and shouted loudly.
"There are many, but ...... My lord, we're wasting our time doing this, a handywoman carrying water, what does she know? ”
"No, I have a basis."
Quietly where are you not convinced, they have been checking for so many days, but there is no result, is it possible to arrest the eunuch who carried water in the imperial dining room to confess?
"How can the words of a little water palace maid be taken seriously? My lord, wait for me to go down and teach this girl a good lesson. ”
Xu Jin's eyes widened, and he looked like he was going to teach a lesson quietly.
Eloquent
The man who had been silent raised his eyes and looked at the quiet coldly. Love to see the flowers
"Do you suspect these pine oils? But even if pine oil is ingested, it will not cause such a big reaction, not to mention that the chance of accidental ingestion is very small, and pine oil is insoluble in water. ”
"Yes, that's how it was, but ......"
Quietly opened and closed his mouth, and said boldly, "The problem is here, this is a huge Simao pine, different from other pine trees, pine oil flows on the rocks, and then falls into the spring water, this spring mouth is shaped like a big bowl, the water flow is not urgent, this thing is also mixed in the water, originally pine oil is not a big problem, but after the late summer heat, the pine oil on the rock may become a broken pine spice, and it will also form a thing, called turpentine oil and gas, when lifting water, no one will pay attention to these, the rosin block will be turned up with the water, into the barrel, Brought into the imperial dining room, and then into the cooking pot, this kind of thing can play a role when heated with oil, and people will have vomiting, diarrhea, and even other symptoms when they eat it for a long time. ”
Quietly blinking two big black eyes, mouth one by one, speaking vigorously, reasonable, rosin is a kind of spice, mixed with other spices, can give out a fragrant smell, but not edible, there are many taboos.
"Rosin?"
The man's expression was frozen, he pulled up his sleeves, leaned over and probed his arm into the depths of the spring, touched it for a long time, grabbed a handful of sand and stones, and there was really a small piece of pale yellow thing, which was rosin.
"yes, it's supposed to be the one that's doing it."
Quietly walked over, followed the man's example, rolled up his sleeves, but his fingers probed in the water, and he couldn't help shivering, the water was so cold, why didn't he even frown?
"It seems to be a little cold."
Quietly retracting his hand in embarrassment, he shivered, and whispered, "The rosin is lighter than the stone, and when the barrel is stirred, it will enter the barrel better than the sand, and because it is transparent, the lump is small, and it is not easy to be detected." ”
Just as she was about to pull down her sleeves, the staring man suddenly grabbed her wrist and looked at her suspiciously.
"How do you know this?"
Belch?
Quietly frightened, his eyes widened, and he wanted to continue to analyze, but he couldn't say a word when he came to his mouth, his hand clasped her tightly with cool air, and she struggled a few times and didn't break free.
How does she know?
Of course she knew, because she was the daughter of the spice king Chu Jing'an, but could she say it? If you say it, it's a disaster to lose your head.
Quietly gritted his teeth and twitched his wrist again, but the man didn't mean to let go of her at all, his eyes were still staring at her, as if he wanted to see something in her eyes.
"This, it's common sense...... I, my grandmother, my grandmother didn't know a single word, they all knew it, there was, what's so strange? He whispered casually, as if this was a well-known common sense.
"Really?"
He looked at Quietly suspiciously, as if he felt that he was a little too suspicious, hurriedly let go of his hand, and quietly jumped up immediately, his face was white, and his heart was beating wildly, he wouldn't suspect anything, right?
After calming down, he quietly turned around, lifted the barrel vigorously, smiled awkwardly at the man, and walked towards the steps.
Although it was just a bucket of water, she still struggled to lift it, but she didn't dare to stop, as if as soon as she stopped, her identity was revealed.
Just as her feet landed on the steps, she let out a cold whisper.
"Stop!"
Stand, stop?
This serious low cry made the quietly legs shake and almost fall out, what did he tell her to stop? She just said that there was a possibility, even if it wasn't caused by the tree, it wouldn't be condemned, right? One thing, inherently multifaceted, they don't agree with it, they can deny it.
