Chapter 691: Mei Ji
In the evening, Jiang Zhanwei did not go home on time, and Lu Man suppressed his mind and led the children to finish eating. Jiang Jiu saw that her sister-in-law had something on her mind, so she very obediently led the little brothers to the backyard to play.
Lu Man closed the bedroom door, and took out "Cautionary Collection" and "Rejuvenation Miscellaneous" from the drawer under the bed. She was confident in her memory, but she couldn't help but find a few words in the two books and read them again.
Jiang Zhanwei didn't go home until late at night. lifted the bead curtain and saw Lu Man sitting cross-legged on the bed looking at the sky, his brows furrowed, his mouth tight, and his expression extremely serious.
Jiang Zhanwei walked a few steps and asked, "What happened at home?" ”
Lu Man's gaze slid to him, and instead of smiling as before, he pouted and said, "It's okay at home." How did you just come back. ”
Jiang Zhanwei laughed and said in a low voice, "The emperor left me at night, and a few ministers ate the imperial banquet, and pulled Chen Ge Lao to play a few games of chess. When I left, the emperor was already resting in the Palace of Heart Cultivation. If he is like this, he must have restrained himself from not going to Zhao Guifei. He added, "It's still the god of medicine who has weight in his words." The emperor listened to your words of exhortation to temperance. ”
Lu Man sneered twice, shook his head and said, "I bet that it won't be long before the emperor will go to Fengming Palace again." Because he can't control some of his actions now, or rather, he doesn't know how serious the situation will be, and he is not willing to try to overcome it......"
Jiang Zhan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Man pulled him on the bed and sat down, and then whispered in his ear, "I suspect that the emperor has been poisoned by a poison called 'evening incense', or in other words, by the poison of 'Mei Ji' in the Western Regions." ”
Jiang Zhanwei's eyes widened, and he said, "Evening incense, Mei Ji, is it an aphrodisiac?" ”
Lu Man shook his head and said, "It can't be called an aphrodisiac." Late incense, "Rejuvenation Miscellaneous" mentioned a few sentences, saying that the symptoms are similar to kidney deficiency, but the whites of the eyes are dark, bloodshot, and you will smell a strong fragrance in your dreams, and you will be happy. It's not a disease, it's poisoned by 'evening primrose'. It is said that evening primrose is a kind of flower, which blooms at night and withers during the day...... "Shen Ji Ji" says that there is a kind of charm in the Western Regions, who takes medicine and bathes with medicine from the age of three, and teaches it atrial art...... After the age of fourteen, Mei Ji not only has the figure and room skills of the Ao people, but also can make the body emit bursts of tempting fragrance at night, and this fragrance cannot be dispersed, only diffuse between square inches. This aroma is the root of deception...... The man who was bewitched by Mei Ji was emaciated, the whites of his eyes were dark, and his eyes were bloodshot. The more bloodshots, the deeper the confusion, and the more inseparable Mei Ji is, the less clear the mind is, and when the bloodshot fills the entire eye, he will die of exhaustion. ”
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhanwei was like thunder, and he spat nervously before he said, "Then according to the long look, is the emperor poisoned by 'Xianglai Late', or is he bewitched by 'Mei Ji'?" Either way, is there a cure? ”
Lu Man said, "Neither of these records is very comprehensive. Because I was interested in the evening primrose, I paid attention to it for a while, and I looked through other books, but I found no similar records, nor did I find a legend about this flower. Mei Ji, I haven't been in my heart, I feel very far away from us. But after seeing the emperor, I thought of the orchid in Fengming Palace...... I think that orchid should be Mei Ji, and the emperor must have dreamed of the garden because he smelled the rich fragrance of flowers, and felt that he was in the midst of flowers...... Judging from the bloodshot in the emperor's eyes, he was not too deeply bewitched. ”
Jiang Zhanwei sat on the bed and said, "What do you mean is that the emperor was not poisoned by evening incense, but was bewitched by Mei Ji." ”
Lu Man said, "The emperor should have been confused by Mei Ji." ”
Jiang Zhanwei asked Lu Man to take out the "Collection of Cautionary Diseases", he read it for a long time, and the records in it were only dozens of words, and Lu Man had not explained it clearly. He added, "There is no talk of how to heal the bewitched by Mei Ji and make her mind clear. It is only said that it must be separated, and the fool knows that it must be separated. The voice was lowered, "It is the emperor who is confused, if he has been deceived and is not very clear, he definitely does not like to listen to others tell the truth." If you can't get it right, you will say that she was instructed by the prince to frame Zhao Guifei. Now, as long as there is a little wind and grass in the palace, Zhao Guifei can find a way to get close to the prince. ”
This is the only disease in "The Collection of Cautionary Diseases" that does not say an antidote. In this thin booklet, most of the records were used by Lu Man.
Lu Man took the book and said, "The third master will see if the emperor went to Fengming Palace tomorrow." The emperor is wise, if he still has self-control and has made up his mind, he will definitely not go. If you don't go, it means that the bewitchment is not too deep, and you can find a way to explain this to him. If you go, it means that you have no self-control......" Lu Man shook his head, it was not easy to do.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Man said again, "The poison of the incense in the middle and evening is the same as being bewitched by Mei Ji, and the two symptoms are too similar. I have a perception that there is no such thing as 'evening incense' at all, but I was confused by Mei Ji, but others didn't know it, so I imagined 'evening fragrance', so I used the word 'supposed'. In "Miscellaneous Notes on Rejuvenation", Sun Wa only uses these two words in this place. Here is how to cure the poison of evening primrose......"
Jiang Zhanwei's eyes lit up with hope again.
The two discussed for a while, and Jiang Zhanwei went to wash up and go to bed to rest. Lu Man said what was in his heart and quickly sank into a dream. And Jiang Zhan only opened his eyes straight, and through the gauze tent, he saw that the room was lit up little by little.
Seeing that Lu Man was still sleeping deeply, Jiang Zhanwei got up gently. Afraid of disturbing Lu Man, he went to the front yard to wash and change clothes, and went to the office after breakfast.
Lu Man woke up naturally, saw the dazzling sunlight spilling into the window lattice through the branches and leaves, and heard the birdsong and cicadas outside the window, she sat up.
She lifted the veil and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?" ”
Mama Wang came over and said with a smile, "The third master is not allowed to call, your third grandmother slept late yesterday." ”
After speaking, he began to serve his master and dress.
Lu Man nodded, and said, "Did you let people go to Hefu?" ”
Liu Xirui should give birth in the next few days, Lu Man sent Xiaozhong and Xiaonan to live in He Mansion half a month ago, and sent people to see the situation every day.
Mama Wang said again, "Let people go early in the morning." ”
After Lu Man ate, he went to Heming Hall to check the old lady's body and administer needles. The old lady is still happy that the emperor came to see her in person, so that her health is better.
Lu Man quipped, "The emperor is a true son, he came and went, and his grandmother's illness was half cured." ”
The eldest princess laughed.
If the eldest princess has a strong body, some words are easier for her to say than others. But the old lady couldn't be stimulated now, and she didn't dare to tell her about that big thing.
