Chapter 486: Unexpected Improvement 3
After explaining a few words like this, Su Jin and Nangong Yu did not linger any longer. Soon, the two of them left Luoxia Palace, and then disappeared into the night.
……
The next day, there was another knock on the door of the Luoxia Palace. After Ah Fu's father-in-law finished feeding the emperor the medicinal soup, he hurriedly went to open the door.
After the door opened, Ah Fu's father-in-law saw Xiao Shunzi at a glance. Father-in-law Ah Fu frowned, and couldn't help but think of what Su Jin said yesterday.
"Little Junko?"
After Xiao Shunzi saw Ah Fu's father-in-law, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Father-in-law," he held a box in his hand and handed it directly to Father-in-law Afu, "A few days ago, you said that the sandalwood ran out, no, the slave hurriedly sent it to you." ”
Ah Fu's father-in-law took it with one hand, and his face was ugly. Although Su Jin said that there is no clear evidence that there is a problem with the sandalwood sent by Xiaoshunzi, Ah Fu's father-in-law has some rejection of this thing in his heart.
After all, if there is really something wrong with this thing, it is a thing that can kill the emperor. However, he was unaware of it, and had been lighting the incense for a long time. In the long run, he became an executioner for others to take advantage of.
He pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I didn't send this incense last night, and my heart has been unsteady, but fortunately, you sent it today." ”
Xiao Shunzi laughed twice and said, "Yesterday, the minion accidentally knocked over, and this is what I got back after I went back, so it was delayed." ”
"Hmm." Ah Fu's father-in-law weighed the incense box in his hand, and made a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi scratched his head and said, "This incense slave has already been delivered, if there is nothing else, the slave will go back first?" ”
"Go ahead."
After hearing this, Xiao Shunzi made a salute and left in a hurry. Father-in-law Ah Fu snorted lightly and closed the door.
Imperial Doctor Zhao came over and asked, "Father-in-law, but that little eunuch from yesterday came to deliver incense?" ”
"Yes," Father-in-law Ah Fu furrowed his brows and handed the things in his hand to Imperial Doctor Zhao, "Imperial Doctor Zhao, take a look and see if there is a problem here." ”
Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Zhao immediately took it. Suddenly, he opened the box, and the smell of sandalwood suddenly emanated from it. Imperial Doctor Zhao walked quickly to the house, then took out his medicine box, took out a silver needle from it, and began to pound it.
After the incense inside was smashed by himself, Imperial Doctor Zhao leaned close to his nose again to smell it.
"Strange." Imperial Doctor Zhao sniffed for a while, and his brows frowned even deeper.
Seeing this, Father-in-law Ah Fu asked, "What's the matter, Imperial Doctor Zhao?" ”
"There's nothing in this sandalwood that I smelled yesterday." Although the taste is very light, because it is unique, Imperial Doctor Zhao has always remembered it very clearly.
It's just that why can't I smell that smell in this box today?
Ah Fu's father-in-law leaned closer and sniffed it himself, but he couldn't find anything. In fact, he didn't know about spices, and he helped the emperor light sandalwood, but he didn't find any problems. Yes, he pushed the box in front of Imperial Doctor Zhao again, and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhao, why don't you smell it again and see if there is a name here." If there is a problem, maybe we can take this thing to the crown prince and the crown princess now, and then arrest that little shunzi!" ”
Imperial Doctor Zhao shook his head and said, "Here, there is really no problem. I think it's probably because the little shunzi is afraid that I will find something, so the sandalwood sent today has not added anything. ”
Hearing this, Ah Fu's father-in-law was immediately a little disappointed.
"However, even if this is the case, we can't be careless, we can't use this anymore these days. After I will give the emperor medicine, I will see the emperor's condition again. If everything is as the crown princess guessed, then the time will ......," he bit his lip and continued, "At that time, I will bother my father-in-law to spread the news that the emperor is critically ill." ”
"The old slave understood." After finishing speaking, Ah Fu's father-in-law carefully put away the box of incense.
Noon.
Father-in-law Ah Fu once again gave the emperor medicine. Imperial Doctor Zhao pursed his lips, squatted down slightly, and once again took the pulse of the emperor.
Father-in-law Ah Fu stood aside, staring at Imperial Doctor Zhao, more nervous than any other time. After a while, when Imperial Physician Zhao let go of the emperor's hand, Father-in-law Ah Fu hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician Zhao, what's the matter, has the emperor's condition stabilized?" ”
Imperial Doctor Zhao didn't answer, just raised his hand, pushed the emperor's eyelids away, and then opened his mouth and examined it carefully for a while.
Boom, he got up.
"Although it was only one night, the emperor's condition has stabilized." Before, the emperor's pulse was getting weaker and weaker day by day. Today, it has unexpectedly stabilized, and this stability also means improvement.
Father-in-law Ah Fu looked a little excited.
"So, is there really a problem with the spices that were sent?"
"Now it seems that it should be."
"Then, should we go and report to the prince immediately?"
"Don't worry, now we are only suspicious, and we have not obtained substantial evidence, even if we go directly to the prince now, we can't do anything, and in this way, maybe we will be startled."
Father-in-law Ah Fu pursed his lips and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhao is also reasonable in saying this, then we can only wait for the news from the prince's side now." ”
Saying that, Ah Fu's father-in-law sighed, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
Obviously, they have already got some clues, but they can only stand still. Fortunately, there will be a prince in everything, and as long as the prince is still there, I believe that those people will not dare to do anything to the emperor for the time being.
It's just that this kind of waiting is really a bit sad.
……
Imperial.
Rockery.
Xiao Shunzi hid in the rockery, looking around, looking a little hurried.
After the incense was delivered today, he waited here as he was commanded. However, he had been waiting here for nearly half an hour, but he had not seen anyone.
He poked his head out and glanced out. This is the Imperial Garden, and there are palace maids and eunuchs who come and go, and if you are not careful, you will be found hiding here.
He bit his lip and frowned, "It's all this time, and I haven't come yet......"
"Ahem......" Before the words fell, a voice sounded behind him. Xiao Shunzi was startled and hurriedly turned around. When he saw the person behind him, he patted his chest with reassurance.
"Father-in-law Yu, why did you come?" He breathed a long sigh of relief, his face full of panic and fear.
Father-in-law Yu is the father-in-law who is in charge of the embroidery room, and today, he wants to come and wait here by himself. Therefore, after delivering the things, Xiao Shunzi came over in a hurry.
