Chapter 18: The Emperor's Assassination Plan (1)
In the remaining days, Jiang Ning tried to give the rock sugar gourd to a few palace people who listened to the book for free, and received unanimous praise from the palace people.
After the limited supply ended, the palace people began to spontaneously ask to buy rock sugar gourds.
Jiang Ning relied on the rock sugar gourd to make a lot of money.
In addition, she prepared a few large strings of rock sugar gourds for herself in one go, and ate enough, and she was addicted to it.
Then, she managed to toss herself so hard that her teeth were sore, and it was difficult to even bite tofu.
It took Jiang Ning two days of hard work to finally get his teeth back to normal, and at the same time, the days also went round and round to fifteen.
On this day, Zheliu specially asked Jiang Ning to apply for a day's vacation, and after dressing up carefully, he was ready to go to Lu Feng's moon viewing appointment.
And Jiang Ning, who pondered for a long time, didn't think about it and didn't understand how to assassinate.
She has lived for eighteen years, abiding by the law and being conscientious, and has never done anything against the law, let alone assassinated others.
As soon as the time turned, it was afternoon, and Zheliu had finished dressing up, and was about to go out happily with a string of rock sugar gourds.
Jiang Ning sat at the table, holding his chin, and swept the rock sugar gourd in Zheliu's hand with a sad face.
Rock sugar gourd, poisoned.
Jiang Ning had a flash of inspiration, got up suddenly, and startled Zheliu, who was about to go out.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Girl, I need you to do something for me." She looked up at the sky, it was getting late, if it was too late to cook now, "You go to the dining room and find me some freshly prepared food to come back, get more." ”
"Mother, do you want this?"
Jiang Ning didn't say anything more, just stretched out his finger and pointed to a small piece of sky exposed at the corner of the eaves.
"If you continue to delay your efforts, I won't be responsible for delaying the appointment."
As Jiang Ning expected, this sentence was quite useful to Zheliu, she took the rock sugar gourd in her hand, and ran out of the door of the cold palace in an instant.
"I'll go!"
Seeing the figure of Zheliu disappear and then at the door of the cold palace, Jiang Ning thought about it, turned around and walked out of the cold palace, and only after walking out two steps, she returned to the cold palace.
I took out the peacock feather hairpin that I had barely touched from the drawer, pinned it in my hair, and walked to the hospital.
Jiang Ning sat in the Tai Hospital with some trepidation, thinking of poisoning, the first thought that came to her mind was the Tai Hospital.
The Tai Hospital is here, but the real troublesome thing is not easy to get the poison under the noses of everyone in the inner palace.
"Niangniang, but what's wrong with your body?" The wrinkled old lady with a goatee tried to look at Jiang Ning with wide, cloudy eyes, as if trying to find out a little sickly from her white and chubby face.
Jiang Ning touched his rounded lower abdomen, inexplicably looked away with a little weakness, and reluctantly supported his forehead with the back of his hand, "This palace has been weak recently, and I can't sleep at night." ”
The old lady twisted her beard and wrote a few words.
"Can you let Wechen take the pulse for you?"
Her heart tightened, and the ugly face of Mu Jingzhao when he threw her out of the palace on the wedding night came to her mind.
"Actually, here's the thing, you also know that I've always been in the cold palace, the cold palace, it's always not clean. All kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants are making nests in it, and when it comes to the night, it will be noisy and will not stop fighting, and the palace will be noisy all night, and the spirit will fail..."
The old lady nodded slightly, and was about to write on the paper, "I will prescribe a calming prescription for my mother..."
She hurriedly pressed his hand, "No, no, no, this palace means to ask you to give me some rat poison."
"Rat poison?" The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched, and her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was saying.
"Hongu is thinking that no matter how calm the mind is, it will always treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is still necessary to eradicate the rodent infestation in order to solve the problem at the root."
Mu Jingzhao's contemptuous and contemptuous eyes gradually appeared in Jiang Ning's mind, and then he knelt down in front of her, begging her to let her go in a hoarse voice.
Thinking of this, a somewhat strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The imperial doctor looked at her dumbfounded for a long time, didn't ask anything more, just quickly got up and handed her a packet of medicine.
"Niangniang, this rat poison is mild, if you want to eradicate the rat infestation, just mix it with the same amount of food."
Jiang Ning took the whole package of rat poison wrapped in oiled paper.
"Niangniang don't worry, it doesn't matter if this rat poison person eats it, pay attention to tell the workers to be careful, and put it in a place where rats often come and go."
Time was pressing, Jiang Ning didn't say more, just hurriedly thanked him and left with the medicine.
——
At this time, Lin Zheng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was sent by Mu Jingzhao to investigate the details of Jiangning, happened to return to the palace to restore his life.
It is said that Lin Zheng is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but it is better to say that he is the emperor's personal guard.
He grew up with the emperor, personally protecting the emperor's safety, and investigating some inconvenient things for the emperor to act directly.
And the security problems in the palace are generally the sole responsibility of Lu Feng.
Therefore, everyone in the palace has long been accustomed to his uncertain whereabouts.
Lin Zheng walked straight towards the imperial study, and at this hour, Mu Jingzhao was in the imperial study.
He was dressed as a commander, his long hair was tied up high, and under his rich eyebrows, a pair of eagle eyes were sharp and sharp.
Seeing him walk by, the palace people on the palace road bowed down again and again and retreated to the side. Occasionally, when two palace maids saw him, their slightly flushed faces showed a surprise that was not concealed in the slightest.
This deep palace is lonely, and the palace maids who are in the prime of their lives naturally can't hold back the throbbing in their hearts and begin to look for Ruyi Langjun.
And these well-trained, tall and mighty Praetorian Guards naturally became fragrant and sweet.
Mu Jingzhao has a cold temperament, and there are ruthless characters like Liu Jinfu by his side.
Lu Feng had already made a private agreement with Zheliu for life, and he was desperate for Zheliu, and none of the others could get into his eyes.
Only Lin Zheng is alone, and he is the only son of the martyr General Lin of the previous dynasty, with a prominent family, dignified appearance, and clean self-care, so the eyes of the palace maids are aimed at Lin Zheng.
So Lin Zheng became the dream lover of the harem maids so naturally.
Helplessly, this Lin Zheng has always had an old-fashioned personality, upright, and has nothing else in his heart except for his duties.
No matter how the palace maids showed favor to him, he was indifferent, making these palace maids love and hate.
Despite this, these palace maids still went forward to express their love for Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng walked quickly on the palace road with a straight body, and the palace maids around him had red cheeks, and while bending down and retreating, they subconsciously moved in the direction of Lin Zheng's advance.
However, no matter how secretly these palace maids sent Qiubo, Lin Zheng seemed to have a barrier to isolate everything.
His expression was indifferent, and he walked towards the corner of the palace road without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a petite, plain figure not far away, holding a medicine bag in her hand, walking out of the hospital with a smile on her face.
Hardly needing to look closely, Lin Zheng saw at a glance the small, slightly raised mole under Jiang Ning's eyes.
The mole grew at the end of her right eye, and it was very light in color, and it looked crystal clear, like teardrops born in her flesh.
Lin Zheng's eyes flickered, and the undercurrent in his eyes surged.
Jiang Ning walked out of the Tai Hospital and walked towards the imperial study.
Lin Zheng didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly followed.
