Eighty-four, five stone scattered

He glanced at Mama Chen and asked meaningfully, "Mama Chen, what do you have to do with me today, you might as well talk straight to the point." Our family can only promise you, if it is harmless to the emperor, our family will definitely do it. But if there is anything to harm the emperor, then our family will definitely not do it. ”

Mama Chen glanced at Lin Jian'an, saw that he was far-fetched, and knew that his every move was just imitating Sun Xiangyong during the period of the first emperor, and his loyalty to the emperor in his heart was not really as solid as a golden stone.

Mama Chen mentioned it from the side and said with a smile: "Actually, it is a good thing for Grandpa Lin to come to you to discuss with you, and this good thing is not only good for the emperor and the mother." ”

"Oh? What's that? Lin Jian'an picked his eyelids and glanced at Mama Chen.

Mama Chen said slowly: "I heard that the emperor has been immersed in grief recently because of the death of a country woman, don't say that even the noble lady and the noble concubine refuse to see him, that is, it is difficult for the queen mother and the eldest princess of the two palaces to see the emperor." Gonggong Lin is a person close to the emperor, and he can't bear to see the emperor criticize himself so much. ”

Lin Jian'an shook off the dust in his hand, raised his head and said solemnly: "Of course." Our family is the most important person around the emperor, how can we watch the emperor so sad. What our family has to do is to share the emperor's worries and solve problems. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it."

Mama Chen bent down and said to Lin Jian'an: "I think so too, and our mother thinks so too, so our mother specially sent me to talk to Gonggong Lin." Please ask Grandpa Lin for a favor in this matter, and there will definitely be benefits for Grandpa Lin when the time comes. ”

As she spoke, Mama Chen took out a pair of wishful fruits and handed them to Lin Jian'an.

The pair of wishful fruits were made of pure gold, and they looked like they were thirty or forty taels.

Lin Jian'an glanced at it, and his eyes couldn't help but show greed, but he quickly "coughed" twice to hide his expression.

He shook his head while looking at the golden fruit, and said, "Mama Chen, you're not bribing me, are you?" Our family is the most trusted eunuch around the emperor, and we will not do anything unfavorable to the emperor. ”

Mama Chen saw where his eyes were tilted, and she already understood what he was thinking, so she said with a smile: "How could I let Gonggong Lin do something unfavorable to the emperor, as long as this matter is done well, it will be of great benefit to both the mother and the emperor." ”

"Oh? Then you should hear it. ”

Lin Jian'an seemed to be very reluctant, and Mama Chen didn't care about him, so she told him about the matter.

She said: "Gonggong Lin, now that the emperor is sad because of Tang Jingran's death, the only way to let the emperor out of his grief is to find someone to replace Tang Jingran's place in the emperor's heart." Am I right? ”

Lin Jian'an shook his head and said, "What you said seems to have some truth. ”

Mama Chen saw that he was being used, so she continued: "So, it is imperative to find someone to replace Tang Jingran's position in the emperor's heart. There are two people in this harem, Wang Guifei and our mother, Wang Guifei has never cared much about outside affairs, but our mother always cares about the safety of the emperor, so Gonggong Lin, do you say that our mother is not the best candidate? ”

Mama Chen said as she sent the golden fruit to Lin Jian'an's hand.

Lin Jian'an pretended to push, but he still couldn't help but stretch out his hand and put the glittering golden fruit in his hand.

He had never seen such a large golden fruit, let alone possessed it. Now that this golden fruit is his own, he is of course very happy.

Mama Chen took the opportunity to say from the side: "Grandpa Lin, this is just what the mother paid you in advance." When the matter is done, the mother will pay you ten times more. ”

"Humph! Who are you and me, and can you buy our family with money? Our family is not for the sake of this golden fruit, but because of the affection of the mother for the emperor that moved our family, so our family agreed to help the mother. Lin Jian'an said.

Mama Chen didn't care about him, smiled and said, "No matter what, now that Gonggong Lin is willing to help with that matter, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Lin Jian'an asked, "What do you want me to do?" Just tell me about it. ”

Mama Chen's smile spread to her wrinkled old face, and she said, "This matter is also very simple, and what I want Grandpa Lin to do is nothing more than two things." The first is how, and the second is how. ”

Mama Chen told Lin Jian'an about the matter.

Lin Jian'an frowned after hearing this, and said, "No." It was too risky to do, and if the emperor knew that I had drugged his tea, wouldn't it kill me. ”

"Hey, father-in-law, you are the emperor's most trusted person, doesn't the emperor have such any trust in you? Besides, it's not for you to put medicine into the water that the emperor drinks, it's just a tonic, which is good for the emperor. ”

Lin Jian'an looked at Mama Chen in disbelief.

He thought about it and felt that Mama Chen had always been the person by Wan Zhen'er's side, and Wan Zhen'er relied on nothing more than the emperor. If Wan Zhen'er can get the emperor's favor, then he can run rampant in this harem, glory and wealth.

If the emperor has any three strengths and two weaknesses, then the first one to be connected by the plant must be Wan Zhen'er.

Although it is said that the emperor abolished the rules of martyrdom, once something happens to the emperor, then his concubines will also be affected. Although they will not be buried, most of them will be idle in the South Palace, and it will be difficult to make a difference in the palace from now on. Wan Zhen'er will not want to harm the emperor.

Thinking of this, Lin Jian'an nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will do what the mother instructs." This matter is good for both the mother and the emperor, and of course our family is duty-bound. ”

After Lin Jian'an figured it out, he said this to Mama Chen.

Mama Chen licked her old face and smiled for a long time, and said, "Okay, since this is the case, this matter will be wrapped up in Gonggong Lin." This is a medicinal powder. ”

After speaking, she took out a packet of medicine and handed it to Gonggong Lin.

Lin Jian'an looked back and saw that there was no one around, so he grabbed the medicine in his hand and hid it in his clothes.

Mama Chen and Lin Jian'an said goodbye to each other.

After returning to Wan Zhen'er's palace, Wan Zhen'er saw Mama Chen coming back and hurriedly greeted her, and asked, "Mama Chen, how are you doing?" You made a military order in front of this palace, if something happens, then this palace and you will be finished together. ”

Mama Chen said confidently: "Niangniang, don't worry." As long as you are willing to give money, there is nothing that a slave or maid cannot do. ”

Wan Zhen'er heard her say this, and her heart was put down.

Let's say that after Lin Jian'an was reprimanded by Zhu Jianshen, he stood at the gate of Qianqing Palace for a while, and saw a little eunuch bringing a meal, so he took the meal into his hand and said: "You go down first, this meal will be sent to the emperor by our family personally." The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and if he sees you, most of you will be beaten, scolded and punished. ”

Seeing this, the little eunuch was not happy, and immediately said to Lin Jian'an: "Thank you so much Father-in-law Lin." ”

After finishing speaking, he put the meal in Lin Jian'an's hands.

Lin Jian'an took the meal and thought about it, then took out the half packet of medicinal powder hidden from the placket of his clothes and put it in the meal.

When he was down, he deliberately kept an eye on it, and Mama Chen gave him a full pack, he was afraid that something would go wrong with a pack, so he only gave half a pack.

After doing all this, Lin Jian'an walked to the Qianqing Palace with the meal.

That meal is actually just a bowl of bird's nest white fungus lotus seed soup and a plate of hors d'oeuvres.

Of course, Zhu Jianshen doesn't eat these things on weekdays, but now that he is in a bad mood, he rarely eats, but he can't just keep collapsing with his body.

If he did not eat for seven or eight days, the man would not be dead, so he ordered the royal dining room to stew only two light things and bring them to himself.

Lin Jian'an walked in with the meal, first saluted Zhu Jianshen, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the bird's nest lotus seed soup and hors d'oeuvres you ordered the imperial dining room have been delivered, please hurry up and eat them." ”

After speaking, he brought the food box to Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen glanced at the food box, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.

He mentioned that Jin Zhu was just about to eat, but he couldn't help but think of Tang Jingran, so he shook his head and said, "I really can't eat it, you still send this thing down." ”

"Your Majesty, you should eat more or less."

Lin Jian'an knew that he had drugged this meal, so he tried every possible way to persuade the emperor to eat it.

Zhu Jianshen glared at him and said, "I don't want to eat, why do you let me eat?" If you want to eat it, you can give it to me. ”

After speaking, he slammed the golden pillar on top of the food box and roared at Lin Jian'an.

Lin Jian'an hurriedly knelt down and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave knows that you have been in a bad mood recently. But if you don't even eat this bird's nest white fungus lotus seed soup and hors d'oeuvres, what should your body do? If something happens to you, the frightened girl will feel that she is guilty and sorry for the emperor. If the emperor makes himself sick because of the incident of the frightened girl, who will feel the most guilty at that time is not the shocked girl. ”

Lin Jian'an's words won Zhu Jianshen's dragon heart.

When he heard this, he was happy and said, "Yes, you are right. I care about the shock, and the shock must also care about me. If I delay my body because I miss her, she will definitely blame herself when she finds out, and I will eat this meal in order not to let her blame herself. ”

After speaking, Zhu Jianshen raised the golden pillar again, ate the white fungus lotus seed soup in one go, and ate a few more hors d'oeuvres.

He said: "Okay, Gonggong Lin, I have listened to what you said this time, so let's go down first." ”

"Yes." Lin Jian'an agreed, and walked down grovelling.

Lin Jian'an saw that Zhu Jianshen still ate the meal, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

What if the emperor doesn't eat this meal and gives it to himself? Or what if the meal is served out and someone else finds out that it has been drugged?

Lin Jian'an retreated to the outside of the main hall and waited outside.

After Zhu Jianshen ate the bird's nest white fungus lotus seed soup and hors d'oeuvres, he felt that his body had some strength, but although his body had strength, his heart was still so decadent and sad.

He felt that the blows he had received recently were just too much, and more than he could bear, and it was unbearable for him.

He was thinking about what he would do if his father was still alive, but then he denied his idea, he knew that this would not happen to Zhu Qizhen.

Because the person Zhu Qizhen originally liked was Queen Qian, Queen Qian was blind in one eye and lame in one leg, but he still never gave up on Queen Qian.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but ask himself: "If Tang Jingran was not born like a fairy, but was blind in one eye and lame in one leg like Queen Qian, and the whole person looked very old, would I still like her?" ”

As soon as he thought of Tang's shocked appearance, the whole person shivered coldly as if he had been poured a bucket of cold water from his head.

He felt that the situation was too terrible for him, and he did not dare to think about it any further.

Zhu Jianshen stayed alone in the Qianqing Palace for an afternoon, and he didn't know why he felt that his brain was getting heavier and heavier, and he was thinking about more and more things, and the things he was thinking about were becoming more and more complicated.

In front of his eyes, the shadow of Tang was stunned, the shadow of the emperor for a while, the shadow of Wan Zhen'er, the shadow of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the shadow of the eldest princess, and the shadow of the Empress Dowager Qian......

The shadows of many people floated in front of him, making him feel dizzy.

He didn't know why he was like this, but after thinking about it, he thought that the so-called love is born of fear, and love is worried about it, is it because he thinks too much and worries too much in his daily life, so that all kinds of pictures and shadows of all kinds of people appear in front of him like now.

The more Zhu Jianshen thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult to think things through, he felt that his head hurt very much, and he couldn't help but hold his head and hit it heavily on the table.

Lin Jian'an was guarding outside, and suddenly heard a "bang" sound from the Qianqing Palace, so he hurriedly walked in.

When he came in, he was astonished by what he saw.

It turned out that Zhu Jianshen was holding his head and hitting the desk at this moment.

He hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhu Jianshen and persuaded: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Don't think about it. ”

In fact, Lin Jianxin didn't know that it was because the emperor was drugged by himself just now.

Seeing that the emperor was so hysterical now, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, fortunately he only put half of the amount of medicine. If the entire package of medicine is put down, the emperor may not know what kind of situation will occur.

It turned out that Mama Chen asked Lin Jian'an to give the emperor nothing else, it was Wushisan.

This medicine is called Wushi San, also known as Hanshi San, and it is said that it was invented by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Zhongjing invented this prescription for typhoid fever patients, because this medicine is very dry and hot, and it has some tonic benefits for typhoid patients. The reason why it is called Wushi powder is because it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine powder synthesized with stone stalactites, purple quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur, and red stone resin.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, a group of literati and scholars had the habit of taking Wushisan.

After taking these five stone powders, it will make people have an exaggerated temperament and a hot body, and they must eat cold food, drink warm wine, or even strip naked to vent their medicinal power.

Wushisan is a forbidden medicine in the palace, and ordinary palace people or eunuchs can be executed once they are found to be hiding Wushisan.

The reason why Mama Chen has Wushisan is also because the great eunuch Gu Lengyi bought it for her from outside the palace.

In order to make her method more feasible, Mama Chen bought Lin Jian'an to serve the five stone powder for the emperor.

Mama Chen herself didn't know how much a person should take, so she took a whole pack and gave it to Lin Jian'an.

Fortunately, Lin Jian'an had a lot of thoughts, and only gave half of it to the emperor.

But after Zhu Jianshen took this half, the situation he showed made Lin Jian'an feel very worried.

Zhu Jianshen became more and more hysterical, and Lin Jian'an hurriedly instructed the little eunuch to fetch cold food for the emperor to take.

After the cold food was obtained, Zhu Jianshen barely ate a few bites and felt a little better, but the whole person was still very hot. And from time to time there were hallucinations in front of him, which he felt very scary, but he didn't know why.

Lin Jian'an took the opportunity to persuade beside him: "Your Majesty, you must be too worried, so you are like this." Why don't you go out for a walk now and vent your emotions? ”

Lin Jian'an's words made Zhu Jianshen sound like this was not a bad idea, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." In that case, you can go outside with me. ”

Lin Jian'an was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped Zhu Jianshen up and helped him to walk outside the Qianqing Palace.

After the two of them left the Qianqing Palace, Lin Jian'an pointed to the east and said: "Your Majesty, it is early spring, and the flowers in the east are blooming just right, why don't we go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers now?" It's late afternoon, and it's the beginning of twilight. ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard Lin Jian'an say this, he couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Grandpa Lin, you are also strange, we are going east to enjoy the flowers, where can we enjoy the flowers in the middle of the night." ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial garden is full of octagonal glazed lanterns, and the servants have heard that it is interesting to enjoy the flowers under the lamp. Maybe after the emperor saw the beautiful scenery of the good day, the worries in his heart were swept away, and his body would feel comfortable. ”

Lin Jian'an's words were in Zhu Jianshen's ears, he thought about it and said, "Since that's the case, let's listen to you, let's go east." ”

In fact, Lin Jian'an colluded with Mama Chen before.

After he helped Zhu Jianshen out of the Qianqing Palace, he walked all the way to the east, and to the east was the Imperial Garden.

The two men crossed a winding bridge and walked to a pavilion full of flowers.

This pavilion is called "Fubi Pavilion", which is where Jian Huaizhen met with Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng.

After arriving at the "Fubi Pavilion", Lin Jian'an saw that Zhu Jianshen was sweating profusely, so he persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty, you are sweating profusely, it seems that you have a cold, it is better for you to sit in this 'Fubi Pavilion'." How about the old slave get a set of warm clothes for you now? ”

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary." Not only do I feel cold now, I feel a little hot. ”

Zhu Jianshen refused Lin Jian'an and made him unable to leave, he felt very anxious.

Just when he was anxious, Zhu Jianshen ordered from the side: "Gonggong Lin, you go and get a few pots of wine for me now." You're right, the beautiful scenery of the good day is not the sky, then I will drink in this 'Fubi Pavilion', and express all the unhappiness in my heart, maybe I will no longer be entangled in worries. ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

Lin Jian'an was like an amnesty, and hurriedly ran away.

Zhu Jianshen saw that he was running so fast all of a sudden, but he was attentive and didn't think about anything else.

Zhu Jianshen leaned on the "Fubi Pavilion" alone, and looked around to see the octagonal glazed palace lamps hanging everywhere.
