Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 22 Mandarin Lotus (4)
Huang Shan smiled clearly, and didn't embarrass her, just looked at her in confusion: "How did the princess pick up Chen Niangzi's medical case?" ”
Chu Silence said lightly: "The emperor asked the poor monk to save the mandarin lotus, naturally he needs to know the poison of the mandarin root in order to prepare the antidote, so he entrusted the third princess to bring the poor monk over." ”
His words solved Jing Tan's embarrassing situation, Huang Shan is not a nosy person, as long as he does not endanger himself, he naturally does not care where she is, and the ban is lifted. Jing Tan thought like this, and was still secretly grateful for the first silence in her heart.
"What is the evening primrose that Lord Huang is talking about?" Jing Tan asked.
Huang Shan explained: "Evening primrose is a medicinal herb planted in the Western Regions, and it is the fragrance of Kyauk'e's floating white fragrance. ”
Jing Tan was even more confused and asked, "I've never seen such a prescription. ”
Huang Shan smiled and said: "The world is so big, there are no wonders, medicine is exquisite, can the princess know it?" ”
This is more like a detoxification prescription....Jing Tan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly asked: "Then do you know what the cause of Chen Niangzi's cough is?"
Huang Shan smiled and said: "The imperial doctor still doesn't know, how does the minister know about a perfume, and the minister entered the palace late, and the minister was not present when Chen Niangzi was sick. He suddenly remembered something, and said: "Although cough is difficult to cure, compared to angina, it can be cured by taking mandarin root for days. ”
Jing Tan secretly said in her heart: Even the incense courtyard knows this prescription, it is impossible for the hospital not to know, if it is said that Chen Niangzi had an accident back then, it is possible for his father to be angry and not let the doctor go, but his mother was favored back then, why didn't his father use this prescription for treatment? Is it because the mandarin lotus root is precious? If this is the case, then where did Mrs. Chen go to the mandarin lotus root during all these years in the cold palace, or did the father secretly send people to the cold palace to renew Mrs. Chen's life for all these years? Maybe she should have lifted the ban early, and it was too easy for Mrs. Chen to get out of the cold palace, and it was unbelievably easy...... There were a lot of things she needed to figure out......
Chu Jing put the case back to its original position, and had a little idea of how to solve the poison of the mandarin lotus, and said lightly: "The poor monk has a way to save the mandarin lotus." ”
Huang Shan was surprised and said, "How did the mage know? ”
looked at Jing Tan's face full of questions, and then said, "Chen Niangzi is not sick, this is poisoning. If the poor monk's estimation is correct, he can detoxify with evening primrose, but there is not enough evening primrose in the palace, so it can only be suppressed by mandarin lotus, and the mandarin root can be detoxified with evening primrose. ”
Huang Shan rolled his eyes and said: "It's easy for the mage to say, what a treasure this evening primrose is, you have to find it for a few days in the Western Regions." ”
"Evening primrose is not hard to find, Yong'an City has it."
Jing Tan thought about it for a while, and knew where he was pointing, in addition to Nanshan, she really couldn't think of where there were the most rare and exotic grasses planted.
"Sir is going out, can you get on me a little? Hide in the driver's car, no one will find out! ”
Chu Lin looked at her with an excited face, and chuckled helplessly: "No." Ignoring Jing Tan's aggrieved eyes, he turned to Huang Shan and said: "The third princess is still grounded, although the poor monk is allowed to investigate in the palace to find an antidote, it is really hurtful to sneak into the Tai Hospital late at night to spread the word, and please ask Lord Huang to hide it today." ”
Huang Shan smiled and said: "Huang is a person who doesn't ask about the world, so he doesn't have to go anywhere to intervene and annoy himself. ”
"Who's in there?"
As a few people were talking, a vigilant shout came from the door.
Jing Tan hurriedly pulled Chu Lone's sleeve and squatted down, covering it with the medicine table in front of her. I accidentally saw that there was a medicine case on the ground, and I looked at the medicine case of Yabai's Crescent Pavilion, because of curiosity, I picked it up and looked at it twice, but I didn't look carefully, the faint light dimmed, and it turned out that Huangshan took the candle.
Huang Shan lowered his head and whispered: "There is a corner gate in the west, from where the mage and the princess can go out." ”
Then he carried the candle flame and went out, and said to the doctor: "It's me, I got up at night to look at Epiphany, and listened to the sound of a night cat in this house, and wanted to come and get it, but I thought it ran out, but I didn't find it." ”
The room was dark for a moment, Jing Tan grabbed Chu Lone's clothes and didn't dare to move, poked her head until she heard the sound and gradually walked away, Jing Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she react when she turned around, she was still holding his clothes, causing him to be a little closer to her... Surrounded by the smell of sandalwood, I suddenly remembered the embarrassing canopy boat in the lake, and my face burned for a while, if it weren't for the darkness I couldn't see, I thought that Mr. would be like her...
Jing Tan embarrassedly let go of the corner of his clothes and led him out.
"I still have a lot of questions in my mind to investigate, but I'm still grounded..."
Chu Lin turned to look at her and chuckled: "At present, it seems that the emperor cares more about the mandarin lotus, as long as the mandarin root is alive, the princess will not be grounded for a long time, rest assured." ”
Hearing the word 'rest assured', Jing Tan was stunned, and his heart stopped beating inexplicably, thinking that the sandalwood around him was too strong...
At this time, in the Kangning Palace, Concubine Mei had already drunk two teas in the side hall before waiting for Xiangwu to come out slowly.
"Why did the concubine come here at this hour?"
Who would have thought that Mei Guifei knelt on the ground with a 'plop', lowered her eyebrows and said: "The slave begged the mother to let the little girl go..."
The people on the seat chuckled lightly and said: "The concubine doesn't need to be like this, the third princess is just grounded, the emperor loves her like this, if there is anything wrong, you should also go to the emperor to beg the emperor, what to do with the palace?" ”
"The little girl has no intention, she broke the mandarin lotus, and the slave knows that she has committed a heinous mistake, but His Majesty is angry..."
"After all, I have been a master for more than ten years, and this palace should also call you a 'sister', you are not in good health, and you are still a 'slave' like this, others will think that this palace has trampled on you." She took a slow sip of tea and ordered someone to lift her up from the ground.
Mei Guifei still lowered her head and said: "I was the slave of the mother, but it was the mother who was pitiful back then, so I had the honor to serve the emperor, and I didn't know that the slave and the maid were the master, and the master was just a joke if I knew it." ”
It turned out that Mei Guifei was a maid who was married to Xiangwu, and later was taken by the emperor, so she was accepted and became Zhaorong, and then gave birth to Jingtan before being promoted to concubine.
She lowered her eyes, looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and said lightly: "The past is almost forgotten in the palace, and I don't want to remember, the third princess is powerless in the palace, please go back." ”
Concubine Mei knelt down again, looked up at her, and said in a crying tone: "The emperor has been thinking about his mother all these years!" Otherwise, the mandarin lotus root would have been damaged that day, and the emperor would not have lost such a big temper! So what Niangniang said, the emperor will definitely listen! ”
"Really?" The water in Xiangwu's cup shook, "Bengong doesn't need him to bother with this." ”
"After all these years, is Niangniang still unwilling to return to him?"
"Back?" Xiang Wu repeated the word meaningfully, then frowned, placed the cup on the table, and said softly: "Although he has been locked up in this palace for so many years, this palace has never belonged to him, where does 'return' come from?" Where do you go 'back'? ”
"It's a slave or not, it aroused the sadness of the mother, but although the cause this time is a little girl, but the mandarin lotus root is surprisingly bad, doesn't the mother plan to investigate thoroughly?"
Xiang Wu said coldly: "This palace can't afford to take care of this, don't forget that there is also a Chen Niangzi in the palace who has a moon with Gu, maybe the concubine asked for the wrong person." ”
Concubine Mei knew that she didn't have the face to beg her, and she couldn't see her like this, so she had to go back to Chenghuan Palace.
After they left, the maid beside Xiangwu spoke: "Someone wants to harm the queen's mother, doesn't the mother really plan to investigate thoroughly?" ”
A hint of mockery rose at the corner of his mouth, "Is there anything that the mandarin lotus is afraid of, and what does it matter if the third princess did it or not, do you think this palace will care about this?" This palace has long been just struggling to catch its breath. ”
Knowing her mother's temperament, the maid is not easy to say.
……
After leaving the hospital, Chu Lonely still returned to the canopy boat. Jing Tan took advantage of the fact that it was still before dawn and drilled back from the dog hole.
"The princess is back, nothing happened along the way, right?" As soon as she returned to Qifeng Pavilion, Ah Heng hurriedly pulled her into the side hall and closed the door.
"Naturally, there is nothing to do while it is dark, but I met Mr. by chance on the Shadow Breaking Platform, and it just so happens that today I have a way to save the mandarin lotus," Jingtan said as she went to the screen to change clothes with Ying'er.
Ah Hengxi said: "Then presumably the emperor will lift the princess's grounding in a few days." ”
"I have a lot of questions in my heart, but I can't get out here..."
Ah Heng thought for a moment, and then said, "Is the princess suspicious of someone trapping her?" ”
Jing Tan remembered everyone's reaction that day, she was led out in Chen Niang's womb, this matter is related to Chen Niangzi, it will not be Chen Niangzi who led her out, I want to think about it, Lan Qing and Yabai are the most suspicious...
"Ah Heng, do you think that it is too easy for Mrs. Chen to come out of the cold palace? This palace is full of eyes and ears, could it be that she came out safely because of one of my messages? Now that I think about it, it is not impossible for someone to borrow my hand to let her out. ”
Ah Heng thought for a moment, and then said: "It was the princess who passed the word, could it be that the princess thought too much?" ”
Ying'er knew that they were going to discuss important matters, so the incense of agarwood in the hall was extinguished, and she consciously retreated to the door.
"I still have to go to the cold palace, you can't get out, and I don't worry about others. My mother will be annoyed to know about my grounding, so don't let her know about that. ”
After saying what he wanted to write, Ah Heng persuaded: "At this hour, the princess should rest, and it's not too late to write what she wants to write tomorrow." ”
Jing Tan smiled, didn't stop writing, and said: "My father should still love me, I want to say to my father for mercy, I should let me go!" Now grievances are secondary, and the main thing is to find out the truth. ”
The next day, Ah Heng asked the guards at the door to hand over the letter of begging for mercy written by his princess to the emperor, and the two guards took it vaguely, and when it was afternoon, there was no news at the door.
Thinking of waiting for Hongyu to come and ask her for news, she didn't come until the evening, Jingtan had to change into Ying'er's clothes and let Ying'er pretend to be herself.
"Is the princess going to the cold palace?" Ah Heng asked her worriedly.
"Think about it, the best hiding place in the palace is the cold palace, and now my father thinks that I did it, and it is a little difficult to go out in recent days, but now it is important to find out as soon as possible the person who poisoned that night and clear his innocence! I can't be confined in this courtyard, if Aunt Hongyu comes, you ask her to help me check the palace people of the Kangning Palace. As he spoke, Ah Heng escorted him to the dog cave in the backyard.
Out of the Qifeng Pavilion Jingtan went straight to the cold palace, and when he passed by the Broken Shadow Platform, he saw that the lights on the awning boat docked on the shore of the lotus pond were bright, and he thought that Mr. Mo was there, so he went over in the dark.
I saw Chu Shi sitting in front of the candle flame, holding a white jade bottle and pouring something into a small basin of water, the liquid was glowing with vermilion, and a mandarin root was planted in the basin, which had already turned green at this time.
