208, incense killing

Li Mobai didn't know if he was in a bad mood.

But not being able to hear Shen Ci's worried voice always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Today, when I told her how she resolved the drought and waterlogging, in the past, she must have complimented her on her lips and complained about it in her heart.

He seemed to be used to this pattern of getting along with her.

One day, when I couldn't hear her slap herself, I felt uncomfortable.

It rained for most of the day, and there was no sign of abating in the middle of the night.

The sound of thunder, rain and wind whistles penetrate into people's eardrums, making people feel frightened to listen to.

But fortunately, there are people you like next to you to snuggle up.

This night, Shen Ci was lying in Li Mobai's arms and slept very peacefully.

The next morning, the thunder died down, but the rain was still falling intensively.

There was already stagnant water on the road, so the queen stopped the six palaces to ask for peace.

After Li Mobai went down, according to the usual rule, today should be the day when the imperial doctor will consult him.

In the past, the people who came to diagnose Li Mobai's pulse were all Chang Tai Doctors from Tai Hospital, but he was not on duty last night, and after he left the palace and returned home, he found that his door was flowing into a river this morning, so he couldn't enter the palace.

Therefore, the imperial doctor who consulted Li Mobai today was replaced by Wu Shiyin.

As soon as he saw Li Mobai, he made a look that he was very familiar with him, saluted briefly, and said in a smooth tone: "Good morning, Your Majesty~ Hey, this rain is really heavy, and the roof of the palace of the Tai Hospital is leaking." ”

Li Mobai was busy reviewing the folds and had no time to pay attention to him.

Seeing that his hippie smile did not get a response, he restrained his interest and began to get busy with business.

After checking Li Mobai's pulse, he said that everything was fine, and approached him to sniff and sniff constantly.

Li Mobai suddenly felt uncomfortable, and frowned at him, "What are you doing?" ”

"The emperor is so fragrant."

Today's court clothes have not been changed, and they are still the same as those worn yesterday.

Li Mobai raised his sleeves and smelled it, and a faint fragrance of gardenias came to his nose, thinking of the gardenias planted in the backyard of Yong'an Palace, so he said: "I stayed at Concubine Rong last night, and the gardenias in her palace bloomed well." ”

Wu Shiyi frowned inadvertently, but this subtle expression was fleeting, and it quickly returned to normal, "Speaking of Concubine Rong, today should also be the day for her to diagnose Ping'an's pulse." Chang Taiyi is also in charge of Niangniang's pulse case, he is not here today, anyway, Weichen has also entered the inner palace, it is better to let Weichen diagnose Niangniang's pulse together. ”

Li Mobai knew that Shen Ci was worried about not waiting to see Wu Shiyin, and he didn't want him to go.

But seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier outside at the moment, I asked the inner supervisor to pass on the news that the newly called imperial doctor from the outer palace entered the inner palace and then went to Yong'an Palace to diagnose the pulse, and I don't know how long this toss will take.

Knowing that Shen Ci was worried that he had a problem with drowsiness in the past two days, and Wu Shiyin's medical skills were exquisite, it would not hurt for him to take a look.

He was just about to speak, but Wu Shiyin said first: "But you can't go with Weichen yourself, the emperor has to go with Weichen." ”

"How?"

"Because of the mother, it is very likely that someone has been poisoned."

When the two rushed to Yong'an Palace with wind and rain, as expected, Shen Ciwu was still asleep.

Wu Shiyi asked the palace people not to alarm Shen Ci worried, but took Li Mobai to wander in the rain in the courtyard.

The two came to the place where gardenias were planted in the backyard, because the rain was fierce and they were afraid that the delicate flowers would be damaged, so the palace people set up a shed above the flower garden to avoid the rain.

The gardenias in this realm bloom even better than the Imperial Garden.

The ground is planted six feet (about one meter and five meters high), the flowers are as white as jade, and the smell is fragrant.

Li Mobai stared at them for a while, and the expression on his face became serious.

Wu Shiyi noticed the change in his face and asked, "The emperor saw it?" ”

"This floral scent seems to be a little unusual."

"That's right, because it's not a gardenia at all. It's just the same plant that is extremely similar to the gardenia in appearance and fragrance, about a hundred years ago in the Qi Dynasty extinction, according to Weichen's knowledge, now only a small part of Xiliang has this thing growing, called 'Zui Ling'. It has a stronger fragrance than gardenia and has a more tenacious vitality. It blooms in front of the spring flowers, and it does not wither until the autumn chrysanthemum is in full bloom. ”

"So you smelled it on me, and you knew that I went to Yong'an Palace, so you can infer that someone poisoned Concubine Rong? This flower is poisonous? ”

"Nope." Wu Shiyi shook his head, "This flower itself is not poisonous, but it clashes with the ink lotus. If a person who has taken the lotus smells the fragrance of this flower again, he will become drowsy at first, then become in a trance, and finally have hallucinations in his eyes and suffer from madness. Wei Chen has seen the recipe of Rong Concubine Niangniang to protect the fetus, in order to replenish the qi and blood, there is a black lotus in the recipe, and the weight is not light. ”

"How can it be!" Li Mobai was furious and called Pei'er to ask her, "When were these gardenias planted?" ”

Pei'er recalled for a while, and then said: "These gardenias were planted by Sun Guiren last year, and the slave maid heard her mention it, as if it was a reward from a mother. But the slave and maid couldn't remember who it was. ”

Li Mobai was silent for a long time, and hid into the main hall with Wu Shi.

He was shocked in his heart, and he felt more and more shuddering.

According to the timeline that Pei'er said, it should be that since Shen Ciwu moved into Yong'an Palace, this 'Drunken Ling' has been planted.

At that time, Shen Ciwei announced that she was pregnant, so this filthy thing was obviously aimed at her.

It's just that she was a fake pregnancy at that time, and she didn't drink a sip of fetal pills, so this floral fragrance did not cause her harm.

It wasn't until now that she was really pregnant and took the fetal pills, and the effect of the medicine came out at the same time.

However, Sun Guiren is dead, and there is no way to verify who was the one who wanted to harm Shen Ciwei that day.

"Is there a way to remove the residual poison from Concubine Rong's body?"

"Niangniang is only a month pregnant, and she hasn't taken the fetal medicine for long, so the poisoning should not be deep. As long as these gardenias are uprooted and no longer let the mother smell the smell, Weichen will prescribe two more doses of detoxification, and he should be fine. ”

Wu Shiyin stood and replied, while Li Mobai sat on the warm seat.

He saw a figure flickering under the rhombic window behind the warm seat, and deliberately stood on tiptoe to glance outside, and saw that it was Pei'er who was eavesdropping under the window.

So he deliberately cleared his throat and explained to Li Mobai in detail how Shen Ci was poisoned.

Li Mobai said: "Don't tell Concubine Rong about this, I'm afraid of scaring her." Whose handiwork is that 'Zui Ling', I will thoroughly investigate and clear it in private. ”

Wu Shiyi waved his hand and responded: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

"No courtesy. You are a skilled doctor and have a lot of knowledge, if it weren't for the fact that you smelled the fragrance on my body today, and speculated that someone had poisoned Concubine Rong, I am afraid that this matter would have caused a catastrophe in the long run. ”

After complimenting him a few words, Li Mobai said calmly: "I have a business I want to talk to you about, are you interested?" ”

Wu Shiyin smiled angrily: "As long as the silver is in place, any business in the underground in this day, Weichen will be interested." ”

"In the future, Concubine Rong's pregnancy will be handed over to you to take care of, and when Concubine Rong gives birth at full term, I will reward you with three thousand taels of silver. But if there is any difference between their mother and son during this period, I want you to come to see them, do you dare to respond? ”

Wu Shiyin was deeply stunned, and said conceitedly: "Weichen will not disgrace his mission!" The emperor will prepare the silver. Hey~"
