After lunch, Imperial Physician Wang took the medicine boy to the Deyang Palace.

After routinely asking Lingxi for a safe pulse, Imperial Physician Wang, under the leadership of Xiao Dezi, carefully turned around the places where the two fairy girls had walked.

After returning to the inner hall, the imperial physician shook his head lightly at Lingxi, who was sitting on a low kang eating tea.

"There's nothing wrong with it...... Lingxi frowned, looking puzzled, "She went to great lengths to get these two goddesses to toss around in the Deyang Palace, but she didn't do anything?" ”

Seeing Lingxi's frowning, Imperial Physician Wang said with a smile, "The old minister didn't find anything, but he had some small gains under the reminder of Gonggong De. ”

Imperial Physician Wang stretched out his right hand, and on his old wrinkled right hand was a small pinch of gray powdery object.

Lingxi's willow eyebrows raised and asked, "Is this ...... This kind of thing is ......"

"Mother, this is incense ash." Xiao Dezi took a step forward, bowed and said, "Those two sisters-in-law said that this incense ash is a thing of the sun. In the Deyang Palace, they sprinkled this incense ash in the east and west wings, as well as some places where they can't see sunlight all year round, saying that they can ward off evil spirits......"

"What's wrong with that?" Lingxi dipped a little of the handkerchief and put it under his eyes to take a closer look.

"Niangniang, this incense ash is indeed incense ash," Imperial Physician Wang pointed to the thing in the palm of his hand and smiled, "It's just that some things have been added." ”

"What's that?"

"Niangniang can smell it, a small amount is not in the way." Imperial Physician Wang said with a smile.

Lingxi leaned the dusty handkerchief into his nose and took a deep breath.

There is a faint smell of sandalwood, and a hint of sweetness lingers in it.

The sweetness was too familiar, and when it was so familiar, Lingxi immediately looked up, and said in a slightly surprised voice, "It's mixed with the pollen of Mengzhu." The sandalwood fragrance is already thick, and I can smell such a small bit, so how much is mixed here! Lingxi frowned again, puzzled, "Why is there a trace of bitterness in it?" ”

"What the mother said is right, and it is not right." Imperial Physician Wang took the wet handkerchief handed by the lotus leaf to clean his hands, and said with a smile, "The thing in this incense ash is indeed a dream bamboo, but it is not the pollen of the dream bamboo, this is a ground dream bamboo flower stem." ”

"The flower stems are also fragrant?"

"With a hint of bitterness......"

"Oh," Lingxi nodded, smiling with relief, "and that's what I understand." Dream bamboo has the effect of making illusions, and they put dream bamboo in this incense ash, what they want to do is to let the minions in my temple have that hellish illusion. ”

"The sissy is smart." Imperial Physician Wang smiled again, "But this fragrance is also exquisite." Although the old minister didn't find any effect, he also said a little to Niangniang, so that Niangniang knew it. ”

"Imperial Physician Wang, please speak."

"The sandalwood burned here is red sandalwood."

Lingxi handed the handkerchief stained with incense ash in his hand to Qiaozhu and said, "Does this red sandalwood have anything to say?" ”

"The old minister heard from Gonggong De that the two fairy girls claimed to be the disciples of Master Sanqing, and they believed in Taoism. But in this Taoism, red sandalwood is forbidden. The Imperial Physician stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "First, red sandalwood is easy to use to enter meditation, and cultivators think that it is not easy to make people get married. Second, red sandalwood has a chaotic effect, and burning red sandalwood can be described as a great disrespect to the Taoist gods. The two sisters-in-law sprinkled red sandalwood ash in the hall, which could be because the fragrance of red sandalwood was close to Mengzhu, but it also proved that they were not real Taoists. ”

Those two immortal girls were not righteous people Ling Xi had already guessed, and she was more curious about the spice of red sandalwood at this time. So she asked bluntly, "Does red sandalwood really have this effect?" What kind of sandalwood is the sandalwood that is usually burned in the palace? But red sandalwood? ”

"Niangniang, in fact, red sandalwood has no role in disorder. What really has this effect is platinum sandalwood. That kind of wood is unusually expensive, and it is not Dashun's native sandalwood, so it is not common on weekdays. Most of the sandalwood burned by the nobles in the palace refers to white sandalwood. Imperial Physician Wang pondered for a moment, and said with a meaningful smile, "In fact, the spices made of white sandalwood and white sandalwood are similar in taste after burning. The pure spice of white gold sandalwood gives the pure spice of white sandalwood more fragrant, and if it is mixed together, even if it is a good hand who is proficient in spices, it is difficult to tell......"

Lingxi smiled and tapped the mahogany table with his cardamom-dyed nails, and asked with a bright eye, "I don't know how effective ......?"

"The small spoon used to fill spices on weekdays only needs three spoons to ...... emotionally"

Lingxi smiled heartily in his heart, secretly praising this imperial physician for being a rare talent. He is not only proficient in medicine, but also good at making drugs, and now it seems that the research on this spice is also superb.

——————

Since the two Dao aunts opened the altar in the Deyang Palace, it has really been peaceful for a few days. But just when the concubines in the harem were talking about whether the two fairy girls had real skills, there was an accident in the Deyang Palace.

On the full moon night of October 15, Gu Yu, a third-class palace maid who served the fifth princess, suddenly went crazy.

In the cold moonlight, Gu Yu pointed to the main hall of Deyang Hall and cried loudly, saying that he saw the ghost of the deceased Liu (original concubine, see the second volume) and walked to the Deyang Palace. He also said that he heard the sound of Devil Weeping, which was mixed with the sound of 'pop' and 'pop' like a palm.

That night was when Xiao Dezi was on duty on the cloister.

Xiao Dezi immediately rushed forward and slapped Gu Yu's face a few times. But a few slaps didn't make Gu Yu easy at all, and in the end, Gu Yu was so frightened that he foamed at the mouth, and his eyes rolled and fainted.

Just as Xiao Dezi was squatting on the ground to check Gu Yu, Yu Guang saw a white ghost figure quickly drifting in the direction of the East Chamber.

Xiao Dezi sat on the ground all of a sudden, and broke out in a cold sweat. Qiaozhu, who was in the inner hall at night, heard the sound outside and came out to check, and was also frightened by the white shadow that quickly floated by......

On October 17, after Lingxi went to the palace of Concubine Ying to cry, the two of them appeared in the Deyang Hall again.

This time the opening of the altar was noisy until two o'clock in the second half of the night, and countless candle and paper money were burned.

After the five hundred taels of silver were in hand, Nian Ci said to Lingxi Zhengse, "Niangniang, this time there is an extremely vicious ghost in the hall. This powerful ghost has been sucking yin qi in the harem for many years, and has cultivated some harmful ghost techniques. She can't be accepted with the spell of the poor way, so she can only be temporarily suppressed by the formation left by the Sanqing mage last time. When Master Sanqing returns, Poor Dao will come again to solve problems for Niangniang. ”

Lingxi asked anxiously, "Then, if the Sanqing Master doesn't come back, won't there be peace in this palace and this hall?" ”

"Please rest assured, although the poor Dao spell is limited and you can't accept this evil ghost, you can still suppress it......"

The next day, Imperial Physician Wang came to check again, and found more red sandalwood ash mixed with the stems of Mengzhu flowers in the corner of the Deyang Palace.

After returning to the inner hall, the imperial physician said to Lingxi Zhengse, "Niangniang, after the old minister went back yesterday, I studied it carefully, and I can be sure that the little palace maid has been poisoned by madness. This is actually a truth of medicine and medicine, the red sandalwood Ning Shen scattered by the Dao Gu, the dream bamboo is made of illusion, and the 'ghost' who comes must have some spices with a pungent smell, plus the ghost shadow flickered in front of her. Naturally, she would have hallucinations in her mind that demons were coming to ask for her life, just like the real thing. ”

Lingxi sat on the low kang and meditated, could it be that the main purpose of the trap this time was to make her crazy?

But the 'ghost' can enter the temple, why don't you poison yourself directly in the dormitory, but use such a troublesome method?

After listening to Lingxi's doubts, Imperial Physician Wang smiled and said, "Niangniang, this spice that can make people crazy is too domineering. If the 'ghost' is brought in personally, I am afraid that before the mother can do anything, it will go crazy first. ”

Lingxi bowed slightly, relieving the doubts in his heart.

After the imperial physician left, Lingxi said to several loyal servants, "Now that we know what kind of harm those incense ashes can do to people, there is no reason to keep those things. Xiao Dezi, you take a few little eunuchs to replace that thing with white sandalwood ash when no one is around. Remember, don't miss a single place. ”

Xiao Dezi nodded and said, "The slave has written it down." ”

Lingxi said again, "That 'ghost' ran to the east chamber several times, and there must be something strange about coming to the east chamber." ”

"Niangniang, there are a total of five wings in the east wing, which are useless on weekdays, just put some old things that are not used. When the two sisters-in-law came that day, they said that a palace maid had been unjustly killed in the East Chamber in the early years, which was considered a place of extreme yin, so they posted a charm there, saying that they let the palace people go there less after the night......"

"Didn't sprinkle incense ashes?"

"No incense ashes." Xiao Dezi said, "The seven places of the Yin that the sister-in-law pointed out were only pasted with charms, and no incense ashes were sprinkled. ”

"That's right." Lingxi sneered, "That 'ghost' is pretended to be a human being, and I am afraid that the two spices will go crazy first when they smell in the body." Xiao Dezi, you should be careful tonight, and lead the little eunuch to guard these seven so-called places of the most yin, and you will definitely be able to catch that ghost. ”

Xiao Dezi considered the reliable manpower in his hand, raised his head and said, "Niangniang, that 'ghost' ran to the East Chambers three times, and it must have come in from the East Chamber, can we just keep the East Chamber?" ”

Lingxi shook his head, "I can't say, it's better to make multi-hand preparations." Remember, be sure to hit the right shot! ”

Xiao Dezi calculated again, gritted his teeth, and said, "Niangniang, you can catch it!" ”

Just when Lingxi was studying how to lay out ghost hunting in Guangyang Palace, a rumor spread in the palace in private. The real Concubine Ying is dead in the cold palace. The current Concubine Ying is just occupied by a wisp of ghost in the cold palace thousands of years ago.

The rough slaves who heard this rumor were all frightened, and when they looked at the Deyang Hall again, they couldn't help but have a trace of horror in their eyes. After that, let alone going to the Deyang Hall on an errand, even the minions in the Deyang Hall were afraid to avoid it and were unwilling to approach easily.

A few close slaves around Lingxi have been busy catching ghosts recently, and they haven't noticed the slightest abnormality of the rough slaves.

It wasn't until the afternoon of October 19, the eighth year of Yong'an, that Lingxi learned from Concubine Yu with a big belly that he had become a demon-like figure in the mouth of the palace people.

In the Deyang Palace, Concubine Yu took Lingxi's hand, frowned, and said to Lingxi, who was fearless after hearing the rumors, and sat there with a bright smile, "Don't laugh so heartlessly, everyone is worried about death." I don't believe you're a ghost, but what does the phrase 'ghosts have been going back for a thousand years, but you can think of returning home'? Why did the sister-in-law say this plainly, and why did you tell her the name of the fifth prince? Do you know? There are very few people in this palace who know the nickname of the five princes, and now they are all rumoring that the real name of your 'ghost' is Youmeng. ”
