This is a little strange, the emperor's illness is indeed an ordinary cough, if no one comes in, how can the emperor's condition continue to deteriorate?

Su Jin raised his eyes, looked at Imperial Doctor Zhao and said, "Have you paid attention to the soup that your father drank?" ”

"In the past few days, whether it is in the emperor's rice soup or in the medicinal soup, the lower officials have checked it themselves after Gonggong Afu personally tried it, and it is not poisonous."

There is no problem with the soup, the medicine is boiled by Imperial Doctor Zhao himself, and many possibilities have been avoided, the emperor's situation should have been safe. Now, it's a bit unreasonable.

"But ......"

"But what?"

Imperial Physician Zhao thought about Fang Cai's matter, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally said, "Fang Cai, a eunuch came over and sent a box of incense. It is said that the incense used by the emperor during the day is different from that at night, and the incense used at night is sandalwood. There's nothing strange about this. It's just that when Fang Cai Xia was taking the incense, he accidentally dropped the incense on the ground. After that, I found out that the so-called sandalwood actually had an extra spice in it. ”

"One more spice?!" Su Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of spice is it?" ”

"After the box fell, the little eunuch looked very nervous, and before the lower official could smell anything, the little eunuch hurriedly cleaned it up."

"It seems that this is the only suspicion now." Nangong Yu looked at Su Jin and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, I will have people secretly investigate." ”

Su Jin nodded, and then said, "Imperial Doctor Zhao, from tomorrow onwards, don't light that incense in your father's room." It's time for this matter to come to an end. ”

After hearing this, Imperial Doctor Zhao nodded again and again, "Then should I tell Father-in-law Ah Fu truthfully about this matter?" ”

"Father-in-law Ah Fu has followed his father for decades, loyal and trustworthy." Nangong Yu paused slightly, and then said again, "If my father's condition improves, I will immediately release my father's condition and ask Father-in-law Ah Fu to gather everyone to go to his father's bedroom." ”

"Why?!" Imperial Doctor Zhao was a little puzzled.

Nangong Yu hooked his lips and said in a deep voice, "This matter, the palace has its own arrangements, but when the time comes, I have to wronged Imperial Doctor Zhao." His father was seriously ill, and Imperial Doctor Zhao ......"

"If you can help the prince, it's nothing if the lower officials are wronged?" The Zhao family has received a lot of care, and Imperial Doctor Zhao now only wants to help Nangong Yu and make up for his mistakes. So, he didn't ask anything more, so he agreed.

Nangong Yu pursed her lips, gently patted Imperial Doctor Zhao's shoulder twice, and said, "In this way, the king of this book is waiting for the news of Imperial Doctor Zhao." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao bent down and made a big salute towards Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and she was a little moved. At the beginning, he saved Imperial Doctor Zhao just because he saw that the old and young in his family were really pitiful, so he helped Imperial Doctor Zhao on a whim. Unexpectedly, this gang also made Imperial Doctor Zhao a little useful to himself.

Su'er, Su Jin said, "I'll go and see what the emperor's condition is first, and if there are no other problems, we should also leave." ”

"Hmm." Nangong Yu replied in a low voice, and then walked towards the dormitory of Luoxia Palace with Su Jin.

At that time, all the candles in the dormitory had already been extinguished. Imperial Doctor Zhao raised his hand and knocked on the door, and there was a sound of rustling inside.

Then, the door opened. Ah Fu Gonggong was wearing his underwear and seemed to be ready to sleep. When the door opened, as soon as he saw the people outside the door, Ah Fu's father-in-law was shocked and almost dropped the lamp in his hand to the ground.

"Prince, Crown Princess......" Father-in-law Ah Fu shuddered for a moment, and was about to kneel. Nangong Yu's eyes were quick, and he directly supported Ah Fu's father-in-law.

"Don't talk much, this palace is here to visit my father, and so is Jin'er."

Rushing over in the middle of the night, there was no need for Nangong Yu to explain too much, and Ah Fu's father-in-law already understood. He hurriedly made a way and let Su Jin and Nangong Yu in.

Inside, it's still a little dark. Ah Fu's father-in-law waited and waited, bypassed the entrance and side hall, and came to the emperor's house.

Then, he quickly lit the candle flame in the room, and by the candlelight, Su Jin saw the emperor on the bed.

As Imperial Doctor Zhao said, just by looking at his face, he can know that the emperor's condition has worsened again.

She and I walked quickly to the edge of the emperor's bed, then knelt down, grabbed the emperor's hand and began to check the pulse.

But after only a moment, Su Jin put down his hand. The pulse is still the same, and there is no need to look at it at all. Father-in-law Ah Fu asked nervously, "Crown Princess, but what did you find?" ”

Su Jin shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's just an ordinary cough." She turned her gaze and landed on the incense burner on one side of the felt table.

So, she got up, went to the felt desk, and opened the lid of the incense burner.

Such a move made Ah Fu's father-in-law more and more surprised.

"Princess......" He snorted, wanting to ask what the princess was doing, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't ask.

I saw that Su Jin took the incense burner, approached his nose and sniffed it carefully, and then frowned.

In the incense burner, except for a trace of agarwood, nothing can be smelled.

"Father-in-law, I heard that the incense used by my father at night is not different?"

Father-in-law Ah Fu was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, the emperor was used to using sandalwood, but later after Queen Chun entered the palace, the emperor used agarwood like Queen Chun." It's just that the emperor has to smell sandalwood at night to fall asleep, so when the emperor arrives at night, he will let people change to sandalwood. Because of this, the old slave must help replace the sandalwood every night, but this sandalwood was used up yesterday," he paused, puzzled, "Why did the princess suddenly ask about this?" ”

Su Jin covered the lid of the incense burner, his face was cold, the taste of this agarwood was not special, so what should be understood now was the sandalwood with an extra flavor of spices.

"Who helps with the spices every day?"

"It's a little eunuch who has only been in the palace for two years." Ah Fu's father-in-law lowered his eyes, thought carefully for a while, and then said again, "The old slave remembers that the person's name is Xiao Shunzi, because of a chance, the emperor found that he is extremely good at using spices. Therefore, later the emperor sent him directly to his side to serve. Speaking of this, Ah Fu's father-in-law was stunned, and suddenly became a little ugly.

"The crown princess suddenly asked, but there is a problem with that little shunzi?"

"Whether he has a problem or not, I don't know yet. It's just that before everything is clarified, this palace hopes that Gonggong Afu will not light this incense again in the next few days. ”

Hearing this, Ah Fu's father-in-law was shocked, and said again and again, "Old slave, old slave understands." ”
