Chapter 175: Entering the palace to offer medicine
"What I want to tell you is that I will be like my father, I will only marry you alone in this life, and there will only be you as a woman, so I hope you can rest assured that you will be handed over to me." Chi Jingyu looked down at the little woman in his arms, and carefully combed the broken hair on his forehead with his big hands.
Bai Wushuang was moved by the bottom of his heart, polygamy was the most normal thing in the imperial era. What he wants is not a couple for the rest of his life, but he can say what is in her heart.
"We will definitely love each other like your father." Bai Wushuang said with certainty, thinking like this, is it a private agreement with Chi Jingyu for life? But thinking of Chi Jingyu's current situation in the court, Bai Wushuang asked with a little worry: "Now that you have a close relationship with the eldest prince before, it is very likely that you will be targeted by the second prince and the third prince, and the general's mansion is highly respected and has been regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side, what should you do?" ”
"As a general, I hold the power of the army, and the emperor's ideas are not impermanent, I'm fine, don't worry." Hearing Bai Wushuang's question, Chi Jingyu pondered for a long time before he spoke.
The court officials have their own good and bad, everyone has their own helplessness, Bai Wushuang doesn't want him to take risks, and wants to try to persuade him: "We, can't retreat to the people, the turmoil in the court has nothing to do with us from now on, will we live the rest of our lives?" ”
"Wushuang, my father dedicated his life to Tianxuan, as his son, as Tianxuan's general, it is my responsibility to protect my family and defend the country, and I can't shirk it, and I ...... There is no shirk. Indeed, his current position is in a dire position in the imperial court, and as a general, it is necessary to have military power in hand, but this will naturally cause the king's jealousy and dissatisfaction.
However, what he holds in his hands is not only the power of the army, but also the safety of the country, which is his responsibility. Chi Jingyu knew that Bai Wushuang was worried about him, and he understood that he was a courtier.
"Then you promise me to be careful in everything." Bai Wushuang didn't feel the slightest surprise at the answer he received, so he had to give up.
"Hmm." Chi Jingyu hugged Bai Wushuang, the two of them kept warm on the bed for a while, and a loud "grunt" sound was worn in the quiet room, Chi Jingyu knew that Bai Wushuang was hungry, got up and got dressed, and waited for Bai Wushuang to change into a goose yellow dress.
The feeling between the two of them was a step closer, and everyone could feel it from their smiles, and the happiest of them was the butler.
The dishes on the table were much richer than before, and more of them were the dishes he liked to eat, and after adding rice, Bai Wushuang picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork ribs, ready to clip it to Chi Jingyu.
When he picked it up, he found a small purple-green vegetable leaf on the side of this rib, and out of the nature of a doctor, he put it in front of him and examined it carefully.
"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyu watched Bai Wushuang staring at a piece of ribs, frowned at the dishes on the table, called the housekeeper and asked, "Who made this dish?" ”
"This is a newly hired chef in the house, I have checked the details, and there is no problem with cleanliness." The butler bent down and whispered in the ear, his face nervous, and he knew what was going on without saying it.
Having probably guessed what was going on, the butler gathered all the cooks and maidservants who had participated in the meal tonight into the hall.
Bai Wushuang studied the leaf for a long time, put it to her nose and sniffed it, and found that after removing the original braised smell, there was a pungent fishy sweet smell, and she remembered that there was a grass called dovetail.
Dove is a rhizome plant, rhizome can paralyze people, often taken to make hemp boiling raw materials, and its flowers and leaves are purple, when heated, it will turn green, rhizomes are non-toxic, but the flowers and leaves are highly poisonous, once someone eats it by mistake, the liver will rot to death within half an hour.
In less than half an hour, the cooks and maidservants of the kitchen were summoned to the antechamber, and most of them looked at each other without knowing anything.
"This is the dovetail, its flowers and leaves are highly poisonous, and it is a poisonous flower that is more poisonous than poison." Bai Wushuang frowned and told Chi Jingyu, and very few people knew about dovetails, not many people even knew about it in modern times, and he accidentally discovered the secret of this plant with his colleagues.
So who the hell is this person?
Or who is the person behind him, it must not be simple to know the existence of this thing.
The most important thing is that if he hadn't seen this leaf, or used it as a seasoning, then Chi Jingyu would ...... after eating it
The consequences of all this are unimaginable, thinking of this, Bai Wushuang was afraid for a while, whether it was really aimed at her or Chi Jingyu, it could only be said that this person's scheming was so terrifying, it was really too easy to kill two birds with one stone.
"Steward, take them all down and wait for them to fall." Chi Jingyu's face was cold, and there was a cold aura around him, and everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The housekeeper obeyed the order and led the people to imprison everyone, and for a time the whole courtyard echoed with the sound of begging for mercy.
Chi Jingyu looked at these dishes with a dark face, knowing that these things must have been deliberately done by someone, and I am afraid that not all of them in the general's mansion are his own people.
Soon the kitchen was re-cooked, and this time the housekeeper ordered someone to try it in advance, and then sent it to the hall after confirming that it was safe and non-toxic. And after such a thing, the meal also becomes tasteless.
In order to prevent it from happening, for fear that today's incident would happen again, he ordered the housekeeper to check all the subordinates of the General's Mansion and send additional soldiers to guard against it.
In the next few days, Bai Wushuang stayed in the medical hall during the day, wholeheartedly researching this health pill and aphrodisiac pill, tried all the medicinal materials, and finally developed it.
Early this morning, Bai Wushuang got up early to dress up, dressed in a white dress, the skirt was made of lotus leaves, and after everything was done, he put the two medicine boxes in his sleeve pockets.
Chi Jingyu left the general's mansion early in the morning because of the army's morning exercises, and did not come back, and after the housekeeper prepared the carriage, he drove all the way into the palace.
"The courtiers see the emperor." Entering the palace, Bai Wushuang was led by the guards to the imperial study, and saw Yun Wangtian in front of him in a bright yellow robe, and knelt down on half a knee to pay respects.
"Get up." Yun Wangtian put down the fold in his hand, and received a letter from this girl a few days ago saying that he had developed the Health Pill and the Aphrodisiac Pill, so Bai Wushuang was not stopped by anyone all the way today.
After Bai Wushuang got up, Yun Wangtian also sent the rest of the people in the imperial study outside the door to wait.
She took out the two pill boxes in her sleeve, half-bowed her head and presented the two pill boxes to the table, Yun Wangtian opened the box, there was a refreshing smell, which made people feel very comfortable, and her face was full of satisfaction: "These are the two pills?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes, the courtiers have found someone to try it before sending it to you, and the effect is wonderful, and it is confirmed to be effective." Bai Wushuang stepped back to his place and said respectfully. His face was calm, and he was very confident in his medicine.
This time, Bai Wushuang actually had another purpose, because of the previous incident, Chi Jingyu's image in Yun Wangtian's heart had been destroyed. Even suspicion of people has begun. So I want to use the excuse to restore Chi Jingyu's original trust in the emperor.
"Say, whatever reward you want, I will grant it." Yun Wangtian asked, setting the pill box aside.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers don't want any rewards, they just want the emperor to listen to the courtiers say a few words." Bai Wushuang faced Yun Wangtian with no fear, and Yun Wangtian's words just gave her a chance to speak.
"You say." Yun Wangtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Wushuang below, feeling a little surprised when he heard that she refused to ask for a reward, but he began to be a little curious about what she was going to say.
"After I came back from Dali Temple a few days ago, when I had a conversation with General Chi, I asked General Chi if he wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests and return to the life of ordinary people." Bai Wushuang talked about Chi Jingyu, there was more tenderness in her eyebrows and eyes that she didn't know, thinking about what Chi Jingyu said that day, she felt the need to let Yun Wangtian know.
Yun Qilin's provocation before had already made Yun Wangtian suspicious of Chi Jingyu, if this misunderstanding was not touched, Chi Jingyu's situation would be very dangerous in the future.
Yun Wangtian didn't expect Bai Wushuang to be talking to him about this, and the words of the third prince were still echoing in his mind that day.
In addition, Chi Jingyu held a lot of power, which had to make him jealous, but he was a little curious about Chi Jingyu's answer now, so he motioned for Bai Wushuang to continue.
General Chi said that he is a general of a country, and what he has on his shoulders is the trust of the emperor, the security of the country, and his responsibility. So he can't go, which is not only irresponsible to the country and the people, but also betrays the emperor's trust. ”
Bai Wushuang said the words of that day in a different way, and Yun Wangtian was silent for a while.
I was also surprised that Chi Jingyu's inner thoughts turned out to be like this. "Are you serious?"
"Your Majesty, of course the courtiers don't dare to bully the king, and the emperor should know what kind of person General Chi should be, believe it or not, doesn't the emperor himself have already made up his mind?" Bai Wushuang smiled indifferently, looking at Yun Wangtian's appearance, he knew the truth of these words.
Suddenly, there was an annoyance of being exposed, annoyed by the provocation of the third prince that day, annoyed that he would be so influenced by others, and even more annoyed that he was questioned on the spot.
The imperial study fell into weirdness for a while, Bai Wushuang was silent, and he also knew that his words had played a role.
"That's it, it's because I'm busy with affairs, I know that General Chi is brave and loyal, it's me...... Blame him. The emperor sighed lightly and shook his head, although he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't mean to blame people, but he still admired Bai Wushuang very much.
In this year, there are too few people who dare to speak out, not to mention that she is just a woman. Long Xin Dayue smiled: "As soon as you say it today, I will be empowered...... Let's go to the Imperial Garden with me. ”
