Chapter 37: This is an artifact
Walking out of the house, many eunuchs and palace maids saw Lu Qian, and they all smiled respectfully and nodded in greeting.
After getting along for all this time, Lu Qian actually likes the atmosphere here.
The eunuchs and palace maids here are different from outside.
Their simplicity and kindness are somewhat like pretenses.
But through the observation of the past few days, they are not pretending.
Looking at this group of eunuchs and palace maids, Lu Qian regretted it again
Walked to the corner and removed the seal.
He poured out the white porridge mixed with poison.
Lu Qian is not a good person, but he is by no means a wicked person.
Even if it's this, it won't be poisonous right away. However, it will always happen!
Once the head of the Taimiao is found, there is one here, and she has to be buried with her.
He couldn't gamble with so much of his life.
Take the rest early and go to Xia Nihuang's residence in the middle hall.
There was a knock on the door.
Yin Yue opened the door, still with the same unchanged ice cube face, and glanced at the food box in Lu Qian's hand.
"Why isn't there a seal on the food box?"
"This is what I personally did for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and I escorted the whole process. That's why there's no seal."
Seeing Lu Qian say this, Yin Yue didn't say a word, and let Lu Qian enter the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Xia Nihuang changing clothes in the back room, although it was separated by a gauze curtain, but it could be seen clearly.
I saw that she was wearing a flesh-colored obscene dress, and the arrogance in front of her was also unobstructed, especially the legs were really amazing!
A eunuch waits to change clothes.
"Don't you want your eyeballs?"
Yin Yue's cold voice made Lu Qian shiver subconsciously.
Quickly retracted his gaze, and then put breakfast on the table.
Seeing this, Yin Yue took a silver needle and tested the poison one by one.
took some of each of them and let Lu Qian eat them before letting Lu Qian leave.
When Lu Qian saw that he could leave, he didn't stay for a second, for fear of being stopped by the female devil.
I thought it would be better to deal with the place where I poured the white porridge just now.
However, as soon as I walked over, I saw that the white porridge was gone.
And there are two more corpses of cats that have died violently...
Lu Qian chuckled in his heart.
It's a shame to stop it!
Obviously, it was Concubine Xi who fooled herself.
This poison is obviously not the same as what he ate...
Or perhaps, the bottle I ate was not poison at all.
If he really did it, Xia Nihuang died violently on the spot.
And he will definitely be arrested, even if he said that it was forced by Concubine Xi, no one will believe it, after all, he has no evidence, and even Concubine Xi poisoned himself may be fake.
After figuring out the crux of it, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
She's really a poisonous woman.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Lu Qian hurriedly went out.
found Zhang Bao and asked him to help find a reliable doctor to check his body.
Lu Qian was under the careful examination of the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor only said that Lu Qian had no other problems except for some kidney deficiency.
As he spoke, he also prescribed a Chinese medicine to Lu Qian to tonify the kidney.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you can't be mistaken. How could my brother have a kidney deficiency?" Zhang Bao said on the side.
Lu Qian really wanted to use his socks to block Zhang Leopard's mouth.
He really can't open any pot.
Doctor Zhang smiled and said, "Kidney deficiency is not all caused by men and women, and overwork can also cause kidney deficiency."
Zhang Bao showed an expression of sudden realization.
Lu Qian also took a long breath and asked, "Is it possible to be chronically poisoned?"
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head affirmatively and said, "No."
Lu Qian was relieved
Leave.
When he returned to Taimiao, he talked about opening a hot pot restaurant, and asked Zhang Bao, "Brother Zhang, how are you?" Interested in getting a share?"
Zhang Bao smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa Lu, I'll forget it... How can my little money get into your eyes?"
"Brother Zhang, if you can see it, I will give you one percent from my shares!"
Seeing that Zhang Bao wanted to refuse, Lu Qian continued to say to Zhang Bao, "Brother Zhang, I didn't give you this share to win you over. It's because I've investigated you that I have no respect for you as a person."
Zhang Bao is also a strange person. He joined the army at the age of thirteen.
With his kung fu, he also earned a reputation in the army.
At the age of sixteen, he became the head of a thousand households.
Later, he was favored by General Huo's family and invited him to join Huo's army.
At the age of eighteen, he was appointed as the commander of the guard, commanding 10,000 people.
He became the youngest civilian guard commander in Great Xia.
However, later, because he couldn't get used to seeing some generals in the Huo family's army oppressing the people in the station.
There were several big clashes with him, and in a conflict with a Huo Jiajun personal security chief, he accidentally killed the human security chief.
This matter made a big fuss, and General Huo spared his talent, spared his life, and drove him out of the Huo family's army.
After the emperor heard about him, he asked him to come to the palace to lead the forbidden army.
After Zhang Bao commanded the forbidden army, no matter which side tried to win him over, he sternly refused!
also offended a lot of people because of this.
However, no matter who impeached Zhang Leopard, he was blocked by Xia Jiuyuan.
This also made Lu Qian feel that Xia Jiuyuan, the dog emperor, still had some brains.
What Lu Qian admires the most is that Zhang Bao has given all his income to the widows of those brothers who died in battle in recent years.
Therefore, although he is the commander of the forbidden army, he is now alone, and his residence is just a small earthen house.
Zhang Bao still wanted to refuse, but Lu Qian said, "Just think of the brothers I gave you who sacrificed for Great Xia!"
Zhang Bao nodded and said, "Then I will thank you for them." But let's say well, even if you give me shares, it's a matter of principle. I'm still not going to help you!"
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I really have something to ask you..."
looked at Zhang Bao with a nervous look.
Lu Qian hurriedly explained, just wanting him to teach him some self-defense skills.
Zhang Bao smiled and agreed.
...
The next few days will be Lu Qian's most leisurely time.
Xia Nihuang didn't trouble her, she went to chant until late at night every morning, and the eunuchs and palace maids she brought were serving her, so there was nothing unpleasant.
Since Xia Nihuang was there, Xia Wenzhi didn't come either.
Liu Shiqing came to report on the situation once, and the issuance of treasury bonds went smoothly.
Preparations are also underway for the construction of a salt smelter. Lu Qian gave Liu Shiqing the drawings of the corresponding equipment he needed, of course, all of them were split drawings.
In addition, Lu Qian also gave another drawing and asked Liu Shiqing to hurry up and build it.
Three days later, Liu Shiqing came to Lu Qian with a bag of parts made by the Ministry of Labor.
Lu Qian was really a little surprised, the efficiency of the Ministry of Engineering was really fast.
Pouring all the parts on the table, the craftsmanship of the craftsman here was much better than he thought.
Liu Shiqing asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "This is an artifact!"
After speaking, he didn't hide it from Liu Shiqing, and began to assemble it in front of him, and within more than ten minutes, a musket appeared in front of the two of them.
