Chapter 14: The Mystery of the Incense Burner
Yi Guiren was helped up, and Chunjiao endured the pain and climbed up by herself. Everyone wondered why Su promised to save the nobles? It stands to reason that the two should have nothing to do with each other. When Concubine Yi is pregnant, everyone will be jealous. No one will save her except Chunjiao. If this fall falls, the child in the belly may not be able to be saved.
Chunjiao was afraid that there would be something wrong with the nobles and she couldn't explain to the master. I don't care about the pain all over my body.
"Yi Guiren, are you okay?"
Yi Guiren subconsciously touched his stomach.
"Thank you, Su, for agreeing to save me, don't worry."
Yi Guiren said this, Chunjiao was relieved.
At this moment, the eunuch in the queen's palace stopped Chunjiao.
"Su promised to stay, and the queen mother passed you on."
Chunjiao limped back to Jingren Palace.
"Chunjiao meets the queen!"
"Get up! If you get hurt, you don't have to take care of it. Come, get some ointment. ”
The maid came over with the ointment.
"Let's see how Su's injuries are?"
Chunjiao felt that it was disrespectful to check the injuries in front of the queen.
"Queen Mother, Chunjiao will go back to the palace and deal with it herself."
The queen looked at Chunjiao and thought that this little beauty was different. Others wished that the child in Yi Guiren's belly had fallen, but for the sake of Yi Guiren, she sacrificed her life to save her.
"Why do you want to save the nobles?"
"Because Chunjiao was by Yi Guiren's side, I don't know who pushed her forward and threw herself forward, but she didn't have enough effort."
"It's not enough to worry about, and it's too easy to say. What is your relationship with Yi Guiren? ”
Chunjiao felt that the queen was very sensitive, and she must dispel her doubts.
"Chunjiao has only been in the palace for two days and has nothing to do with Concubine Yi, and the queen is too worried. Yi Guiren is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and it is right to save her, if she is someone else, she will also save her. Chunjiao just reacted faster than them. ”
Chunjiao's words made the queen lose her words, and this Su's mouth was really powerful.
"Su promised to save people for meritorious service, and a reward of ten taels of silver."
"Thank you for the reward."
Chunjiao felt that the queen was very strange, and on the one hand, she would doubt her relationship with Yi Guiren, and on the other hand, she would reward her, and she didn't know what it meant?
At this moment, Chunjiao smelled a pungent fragrance, she was very sensitive to the fragrance, and suddenly felt a headache.
"I don't know what is burning in the queen's incense burner? Smells weird? ”
"Spices that replenish qi and calm the nerves, the emperor likes this taste very much."
Chunjiao was curious and walked over.
"Niangniang, don't you feel that this smell is pungent?"
The queen looked at Chunjiao suspiciously.
"Hongu didn't feel any pungent fragrance? Where does this start? ”
"Niangniang, can Chunjiao want to see the spices of the incense burner?"
The queen thought to herself, this palace will let you take a look, I don't know what you can see?
"Come on, bring the spices from the incense burner and let Su promise to take a look."
The maid brought a clay pot, opened the lid and a fragrance came to her nose, and the choked Chunjiao only coughed. Chunjiao covered her nose and flicked it with a silver hairpin. She seemed to feel something mixed with it, as it was powdery and unrecognizable. She suddenly felt that this fragrance seemed to smell somewhere? Thoughtfully.
The queen saw Chunjiao's expression very strange.
"What's wrong?"
Chunjiao was silent, her thoughts came back to her senses for a moment, and she remembered that this fragrance was the smell of musk mixed with other fragrances, and it was difficult to distinguish if she didn't have a good sense of smell. Lan Buchen taught Chunjiao the martial arts of the blue clothes. The natural sense of smell is very sensitive, so it can be distinguished. What made her wonder was why the spices of the incense burner were in powdered form.
Queen Mother, why is the spice burned in the incense burner powder? There's musk in it.
"How do you know?"
"Chunjiao has a keen sense of smell and smells it as soon as she enters the palace, and this smell is fragrant and makes people have a headache. Chunjiao is a spice mixed with musk. ”
The queen didn't believe Chunjiao very much, and she wanted to verify the matter.
"Spread the word that Imperial Doctor Liu came to Jingren Palace."
About half a burnt incense, Imperial Doctor Liu hurriedly came.
"The old slave meets the queen mother."
The queen took the spices and placed them in front of Imperial Physician Liu.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, do you see what's in the spices?"
The queen didn't say that there was musk in it, she asked Imperial Doctor Liu to distinguish it herself. Mrs. Liu poked it and put it on her nose and sniffed it, as if she didn't smell anything. I took a breath and sniffed again.
"This spice is very fragrant, in addition to the soothing incense, there is also a special fragrance, let the old slave carefully check it."
At this moment, a trace of uneasiness passed over Imperial Physician Liu's face. But calm quickly returned.
"Niangniang, just now the old slave checked the fragrance of osmanthus."
Chunjiao felt that Imperial Doctor Liu was not telling the truth.
