The 281st Sweep of the Imperial Physician's Office
Bao Cheng stirred the bird's nest with a white porcelain spoon, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then can this bird's nest still be drunk?" ”
Yao Qi glanced at the bird's nest and said lightly, "Give me the tray." ”
Bao Cheng frowned, picked up the bird's nest, pulled out the ebony tray underneath, and handed it to Yao Qi.
Yao Qi held the tray, looked back and forth twice, pulled out the hairpin between the hairpins, and gently flicked back and forth at the place of the tray's mortise and tenon.
Only a "click" was heard, and the piece of ebony fell, revealing a shallow card slot.
Her face sank suddenly, and her hairpin picked at the card slot, pulling out a very tight roll of paper.
Bao Cheng let out an "ah", hurriedly covered his mouth, and muttered, "You, how do you know that there is something here?" ”
Yao Qi didn't raise his head, nor did he speak, Emperor Yong'an's method was to stuff eyeliner into various mansions, these methods were pervasive, Han Mansion, hum, the seemingly impregnable Han Mansion also had something vulnerable.
She unfolded the scroll of paper, and when she saw the words on the paper, her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
If there is a plan, it is still in vain.
She closed her eyes and shoved the roll into her mouth.
Bao Cheng hurriedly shouted "you", but he looked at Yao Qi's plain eyes, watched her chew a few times expressionlessly, and finally swallowed the paper roll, he also swallowed the words back, pointed to the bowl of bird's nest and asked, "Pour it out?" ”
Yao Ji shook his head: "Wait for Han Changdui to come back." ”
As she spoke, she put the disassembled tray back in.
For the first time, she felt that the long night was so deep and so difficult.
Outside the window, the birds in the trees chirped, breaking the dead silence of the night.
Yao Qi heard the heavy footsteps outside, revealing the tiredness of Liangjinjin, she was stunned, leaned on the head of the bed, and closed her eyes weakly and slightly.
Han Changdui pushed open the door and hurriedly walked in with a coolness, and saw Yao Qi who got up at a glance, rushed to the bed, held her hand, and asked hoarsely, "Ah Qi, are you awake?" ”
Yao Qi closed her eyes and felt the bed sink down, she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a pair of red eyes, as well as a stubble, faintly blue jaw.
She was taken aback, only to feel pantothenic acid at the tip of her nose, a choke in her throat, and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
This appearance fell in Han Changdu's eyes, like a weak voice, he mourned in his heart, and suddenly grabbed Yao Qi's shoulder, gently patted her back, and whispered as if reassuring: "Okay, it's okay, I'll bring the medicine back, it's okay." ”
Jin Yu walked in silently and put the various medicinal herbs in his arms on the dining table one by one.
Bao Cheng coughed lightly, hurriedly dodged the dazzling scene, raised his eyes to look at Jin Yu's movements, and was a little stunned.
He didn't expect Han Changdu's movements to be so fast, and it was only half an hour before he found all the medicinal materials he could find.
Yao Qi was a little breathless by Han Changdu, and coughed violently.
Han Changdui was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, held her face and looked at it, and said worriedly: "Ah Qi, Ah Qi, how are you?" ”
Yao Qi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but he shook his head slightly, and said weakly: "My lord, can you have someone send bird's nest over?" ”
Han Changdui frowned, not knowing what was going on.
Yao Qi pointed to the bird's nest on the small table, weak but puzzled: "This was sent in by a maidservant just now, and it was said that the adult ordered her to send it." She took a breath: "I felt that something was wrong, so I didn't dare to eat it." ”
With a shocking remark, Han Changdui stood up suddenly, intending to go to the silver needle to test the poison.
Yao Qi seemed to know Han Changdui's plan, and said faintly behind him: "It's not poisonous, I've tried it." ”
Han Changdui turned around, slowly raised his eyes and saw the silver hairpin in Yao Qi's hair, and nodded: "Do you remember what that maid looks like?" ”
Yao Qi said calmly: "Thirteen or fourteen years old, thin, not tall, round face, eyebrows and eyes are very delicate. She squinted and thought, "Light work is very good." ”
Han Changdui was suspicious in his heart, and frowned slightly: "It's so good, why would you send such a bowl of bird's nest over." ”
Yao Ji raised his hand helplessly, indicating that he couldn't figure it out.
Han Changdui turned around and ordered Jin Yu sharply: "Go and check." ”
Jin Yu was actually stunned, although most of the people in this house were bought from outside, but when he moved in, he carefully sifted it several times, and those who were left behind were people who had no problems and were fine and clean, but he never expected that there would be such a mistake.
Hearing Han Changdu's words, he sighed, took the bowl of bird's nest, and walked out in a somewhat depressed mood.
Han Changdui then glanced at Bao Cheng, who had nothing to do.
Bao Cheng suddenly raised his head and moved to the side of the food table, looking attentive, but in fact, he flipped through it absentmindedly, the medicinal materials are complete, and the year is long enough, at first glance, it took a lot of effort to collect, but what I don't know is that Han Changdui has scavenged the elixir of the Imperial Doctor's Department, and will he be reprimanded by the saint tomorrow.
He coughed lightly, hiding his weakness, and said in surprise: "The adults have found all the medicines, and the years are still so sufficient." ”
Hearing that the medicinal herbs were combined, Han Changwan finally put his mind at ease and said quietly: "Then boil the medicine now?" ”
Bao Cheng didn't know what Yao Qi was going to do, but he knew that as long as he could delay her recovery time, there would be more time left for her, and the chances of winning would naturally be greater.
He shook his head and said, "It's not right now, I have to wait until tomorrow I will get the rest of the medicinal materials from Qimen." ”
Han Changdui said worriedly: "Then, will Ah Qi's injury change tonight?" ”
Bao Cheng waved his hand: "No, I just used a charm to protect Ah Qi's heart, and it will be fine." ”
Han Changwan frowned and glanced at Bao Cheng, he really couldn't believe this half scoop of water, but now he couldn't help but don't believe it, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm here tonight to guard Ah Ji, tomorrow morning, you will go back to Qimen to find medicine." ”
Han Changdui and Bao Cheng settled the matter in a few words, and did not ask Yao Qi at all if she agreed, she looked at Han Changdu, then at Bao Cheng, and smiled helplessly: "I can't die for the time being, no one needs to guard me." ”
Han Changdui stared at his cold eyes, and couldn't help but decisively refuse: "No, I'll just guard on the side." ”
Yao Qi breathed a deep sigh of relief, forget it, just keep it if you love it, she will treat herself as blind and can't see.
After deciding the matter, Bao Cheng went to the next room to rest.
Liu brought someone in and placed a soft collapse in the room.
Han Changdui looked at Liu's smiling face, and had some strange feelings in his heart, how could he see it on her face, happy?
He sighed helplessly and asked Liu: "What did you find with Qingqian today?" ”
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, crossed Han Changdu's shoulder, and looked at Yao Qi, his expression a little difficult.
Han Changdui said lightly: "It's okay, you just have to say." ”
Yao Qi raised his eyebrows, it turned out that there was a problem with the shallowness, this Han Changdui was pitiful enough, he was old, and it was easy for the iron tree to blossom and have a confidante, but he was still a person with intentions, how could this kind of gossip be let go.
She didn't have the slightest consciousness to evade, anyway, it wasn't her who took the initiative to eavesdrop, she was forced, so she simply pricked up her ears and listened openly.
Liu Shi saw that Han Changdui did not shy away from Yao Qi, so he said as usual: "Qingqian went all the way to the Recommended Blessing Temple, entered the incense and asked for a sign everything as usual, at noon, went to the guest room with vegetarian food, the maid looked at it in the dark, and there were two tables of vegetarian food in the guest room, one table was only one person, and the other table was the master and servant, Qingqian left after using vegetarian food, and did not talk to the two of them. ”
Han Changwan frowned: "Didn't they have any contact?" ”
Liu shook his head and said firmly: "The servant can see clearly, and there is no contact." ”
Han Changwan was suspicious in his heart, and begged for a chance to leave the house, was it really just to go to the Recommended Temple for a stick of incense?
He turned his head and asked Yao Qi, "What do you think of this?" ”
Yao Ji understood, stared for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Liu, can you see the appearance of the two masters and servants in the guest room?" ”
Liu nodded: "The woman sitting and eating is in her thirties, beautiful and dignified, at first glance she is the lady of a large family, and the one standing next to her is a maidservant, who is five big and three thick, and looks like a practitioner." She paused slightly, suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said, "That maid looks a bit like a Hu man." ”
Yao Qi raised his vigilance and asked suspiciously, "Hu Ren? How old are you? ”
Liu said: "Early twenties. ”
Yao Qi fell into thought and did not speak for a while.
Han Changwan didn't care about this matter, the rich and noble people in Chang'an City often took it as a pleasure in life to call Kunlun slaves and Silla maids, and it was not uncommon to go out with a few Hu people and maids.
He looked at Yao Qi and said: "Many families in Chang'an City have Hu people, if you take this as an opportunity, I'm afraid it's not easy to check, right?" ”
Yao Qi shook his head: "My lord, you don't know, there was a mess in Chang'an City because of the too many Hu people bought in the courtier's mansion, and then the sage made a decree, according to the rank of the courtier, the number of Hu people available in each mansion was stipulated, and the sale of dead fugitive slaves must be registered in Chang'an County or Wannian County." Nowadays, the Hu people in the courtier's mansion in Chang'an City are all well documented, and the details are all clean, but the Hu people in the merchants are the most chaotic. She paused slightly: "If Qingqian really has a connection with these two people, then the people behind this scene will definitely not dare to let the well-documented Hu people show their faces." ”
Han Changwan didn't know that there were such rules in Chang'an City, so he was relieved and asked lightly: "Sister-in-law Liu, did you see with your own eyes the guest room that entered and came out?" ”
Liu nodded heavily: "Yes, the maid didn't miss anything at a glance." ”
Han Changwan exhaled lightly, it seemed that even if there was really something wrong with Qingqian, it would not be possible to find out for the time being, he said lightly: "Has Qingqian been settled?" ”
Liu shook his head: "Not yet." ”
Han Changwan looked back at Yao Ji deeply, and she felt a little furious in her heart, and she involuntarily shrank into the bed.
