Chapter 127: The Tea Stove Mystery Case
Hearing this, Huai Sleeve hurriedly turned around, and saw that the person standing with a long body was Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo's eyebrows were frowned, his face was solemn, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Kangxi.
"Oh? Did Yung find something? Kangxi also sat down and asked when he heard this.
Rong Ruo held the red clay stove that burst out of the coals just now, walked out of his seat and came to the center of the front of the hall, put the stove on the ground, and said, "Long live Qiqi, the minister has found some fine powdery things on this stove, can you ask a doctor to come and see if it is sulfur." ”
As soon as Rong Ruo's words came out, Kangxi and Xiaozhuang's faces changed suddenly.
Kangxi said to Li Dequan next to him: "It is rumored that Imperial Doctor Zhang, who diagnoses the pulse of peace for me on weekdays, will meet you." Li Dequan passed on in response.
Not long after, a white-haired old lady came up to the hall with a medicine box in his hand, and after the salute, Kangxi said in a harmonious voice: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, I didn't come here today to diagnose a disease, I want to use your old eyes to distinguish something." ”
"I don't know what Long Live commands, the old minister must do his best." Imperial Physician Zhang replied.
When Imperial Physician Zhang replied, Kangxi had already given Rong Ruo a look.
Rong Ruo nodded lightly, and said to Imperial Physician Zhang with a smile: "Lord Zhang, please take a look, what is sticky on this stove?" ”
Imperial Physician Zhang squatted down and looked at the red clay stove, only to see that the edge of the lower corner of Rong Ruo's fingers was sticking to some fine brownish-yellow powder. He took out a cloth roll from the medicine box, and carefully shook it open, which was densely filled with silver needles.
Imperial Physician Zhang took out a twist in his hand, picked up some of the brown and yellow powder and put it between his noses and sniffed it, then twisted it with his fingers, put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you borrow a pair of flint and fire sickles from the old minister." ”
Li Dequan, who was standing next to him, heard this, and hurriedly sent the little eunuch to find it and hand it over.
Imperial Physician Zhang took the flint and fire sickle, and shot a spark at the silver needle, only to see the silver needle instantly ignite. Imperial Physician Zhang handed the flint and sickle to Li Dequan and arched his hand: "Long live, but the old minister is sure, this is a mixture of saltpeter sulfur powder. ”
"What?!" Kangxi's sword eyebrows were frowning, Long Yan immediately became gloomy, and Xiaozhuang was also shocked when he sat next to him. The four people below were in an uproar, and someone whispered: "It turns out that someone has done something......
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you should step back first." Kangxi dismissed Imperial Physician Zhang, turned back to Chang Ning and instructed: "Prince Gong, since this matter happened at the tea banquet, you will personally handle it, and you must find out the evil person for me!" ”
When Chang Ning heard this, he quickly turned around and knelt on the ground to kowtow to receive his life.
There were not many people who would have been fighting tea, and there were many fewer people who signed up than the tea art performance the day before, so it was passed on to the royal banquet, Xiaozhuang said that he was tired and wanted to go back, Kangxi saw that Xiaozhuang was not very interested, so he passed the decree and dispersed the banquet.
As soon as the princess came out of the palace with the crescent moon, several little eunuchs carried the soft sedan chair over, and the crescent princess was about to get on the sedan chair with the sleeves, but the sleeves grabbed the crescent moon and said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go." Without waiting for the crescent moon to speak, he turned around and walked quickly.
Huai sleeves passed through the green sedan chair of several courtiers, came to a sedan chair, and attached himself to Shi Li: "Huai sleeves to my brother-in-law to say goodbye." ”
Malhan was just about to turn around and get into the sedan chair, but he didn't want a woman's voice to suddenly sound behind him, so he hurriedly turned around and saw that his sleeves had bowed down, and Malhan hurriedly helped him and said: "Hurry up, you are now a person in the palace, don't dare to be."
Huai Sleeve slowly got up, his eyes showed sincerity, although he was only a brother-in-law, but after all, he was a family member, Huai Sleeve inevitably said sentimentally in his heart: "Today's matter, thank you brother-in-law for your help." ”
Knowing that she must have come for this matter, Malhan sighed slightly and said, "You are alone in the palace, you have to pay attention everywhere, go back quickly, you have been here for a long time, it is not good, I should go back too." ”
Huai Sleeve nodded, and couldn't help asking, "Did the second sister come with you this time?" ”
Malhan shook his head and said, "Your second sister said that she didn't want to come and stayed in the mansion." ”
Huai Sleeve couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes as she spoke, and asked, "She, it's okay......"
Malhan nodded, waved his hand, and then turned to get into the sedan chair and left.
After watching Malhan get into the sedan chair, he followed the crescent princess back to Diyuxuan.
Xiaozhuang was accompanied by Su Mala Aunt to Songhe Zhai, passing through a purple bamboo forest on the way, Xiao Zhuang was very fond of it and stopped, fell on his shoulders, and walked with Su Mala's aunt in tow. A palace maid eunuch, except for Zhu Qing, the rest followed from afar.
Xiaozhuang walked, staring at the bamboo leaves in the purple bamboo forest, such as phoenix tails, and said slowly: "Huai Yatou has been in our Cining Palace, I see her on weekdays and rarely interact with the concubines and palace maids in the harem, and she doesn't even talk much, why did someone design her head?" Who can she mess with? It's just a hairy girl who has just entered the palace. ”
Su Malagu smiled and said: "Maybe the eunuchs and palace maids below accidentally made a mistake, but such a mistake is not unprecedented." ”
Xiaozhuang pulled the corners of his lower lip and said: "I know that you are using these words to calm my heart, since the fight against Aobai, after the emperor is in power, I don't care about all the things in the harem, first, the long-lived lord has grown up, and secondly, Queen Hesheri has been gone for so long, I always want to choose a suitable person to take care of the harem as soon as possible, but ......" Xiaozhuang said halfway, sighed lightly and shook his head.
Su Malagu also lowered her face and walked quietly, although she knew that the vacancy of the harem lord had always been the top priority in Xiaozhuang's heart, but at the moment, she had no way to solve it, so she could only remain silent.
After a while, Xiaozhuang whispered: "Sister Man, you take care of the child with your sleeve a little more, I look at the child well!" ”
Su Malagu responded, took Xiaozhuang's arm, and walked slowly along the small stone road in the purple bamboo forest.

"Sixth Uncle, why are you here?"
Huai Sleeve was sitting in front of the window lattice in a daze, and suddenly heard the sound of the crescent moon in the courtyard, and hurriedly leaned out to look out of the window, and sure enough, he saw Chang Ning coming from the lotus pond.
Huai Sleeve hurriedly ran out of the attic where he lived, went downstairs, and said without saying anything when he saw Chang Ningli: "Tomorrow's tea banquet, can I not go?" Suddenly feeling unwell ......"
Chang Ning laughed when he heard this: "What's the matter today, first Concubine Yu sent someone to say that she was not feeling well, and she will not come tomorrow, I just went to ask the ancestor to be safe, and the ancestor also said that he was not feeling well, and he just passed by here and came in to take a look, you also said that he was unwell, and he dared to be scared by your cannon, hehe......"
Chang Ning laughed to himself. But he didn't notice that his sleeves were slightly pale, and he quietly lowered his eyes.
Hearing this, the crescent moon was angry, and slapped a fist on Chang Ning's chest.
"What are you hitting me for! Nothing big or small. Chang Ning stopped laughing and frowned and stared at the crescent moon.
