Chapter Twenty-Eight: Strange Dahu and Hibiscus Drunk
This is a very delicate pastry, the whole body is glutinous, white and crystalline, and there is a feeling of reluctance to eat it at a glance.
Zhang Xiaolin took a bite gently, it melted in the mouth, fragrant and delicious, no wonder the eldest grandson queen never got tired of eating it every day.
Divine consciousness entered the pastry, but did not find anything abnormal, Zhang Xiaolin was carefully tasting the delicious, suddenly, the bitter bamboo pieces in the sea of consciousness trembled, and the green aura actually flowed into the mouth, and a piece of information suddenly appeared in the brain: Qi Dahu incense, a first-order elixir, nourishes the skin, accelerates metabolism, and refines one of the main medicines of the Zhuyan Pill.
"Qi Daxiang, why is it so familiar?" Zhang Xiaolin was overjoyed when he saw that the Qing Bao Dan Sutra could actually identify the elixir, it was still a first-order elixir. In this world, elixirs are particularly rare, and ordinary medicinal materials are of no use to monks at all, but this elixir is actually beautiful, it seems that this pastry was made with great care, but how do you think that this elixir seems to have heard of somewhere.
After pondering for a while, I suddenly remembered that there was a story in Jin Yong's novel, Zhang Wuji, who was the first leader of the Ming Sect, was in the Green Willow Villa at that time, and was poisoned by Zhao Min. Wow, didn't Big Guy Kim come up with this paragraph when he wrote it at the time, and what scientific basis is there?
So, where is the other plant?
There are a lot of plants in the bedroom of the eldest grandson queen, which is very beautiful, and the whole bonsai should have been designed by professionals, and the matching is very reasonable.
Zhang Xiaolin checked them one by one, but found nothing like water lilies.
There was no way, Zhang Xiaolin had to use his divine sense to distinguish the plants one by one, most of them were ordinary bonsai, and the bitter bamboo pieces did not react.
Zhang Xiaolin shook his head in disappointment, no.
If there is no hibiscus drunk, this mrigal fragrance is not only not poisonous, but also a beauty elixir, added to the pastry, purely for the queen's good?
It seems that he thinks too much, Zhang Xiaolin walked around, took a few steps back at will, sat on a couch, and suddenly, the bitter bamboo piece reacted: deep sea water incense, first-order elixir, it is the wood heart in the drunken rhizome of mature hibiscus, good at aromatic opening, can treat all kinds of unconscious people, and wake up when you smell it.
This thing is called Hibiscus drunk?
Who said that Hibiscus is drunk like a water lily?
It seems that the person who poisoned him is not only well versed in medicine, but also very powerful, and he actually has the ability to send furniture to the palace, and he must be someone close to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who paid tribute when this set of furniture came, it shouldn't be long, right?"
Li Shimin saw Zhang Xiaolin pointing to the mahogany couch where the queen drank tea every day, and couldn't help frowning: "This is the mahogany furniture that Li Ke, the king of Shu, gave to the queen with filial piety, it is said that it was carefully carved by a famous craftsman by the sea, and the queen also likes it very much, what's the matter?
"This kind of wood is called deep sea water incense, very precious, is a very rare medicinal material, fragrant and enlightening, clear the heart and mind, more expensive than gold. ”
"I'll just say, what Ke'er sent must be a good thing. Suddenly, he said, "You mean, there's something wrong with this thing?"
"There was no problem with this thing, but when used with this pastry, there was a problem. ”
Taiyimen raised his head together and looked at Zhang Xiaolin like a monster.
Who would believe it? This guy tasted a bite of dim sum and sat on the couch and talked nonsense, right?
Li Shimin was shocked, glared at Zhang Xiaolin and said, "You talk about it first." ”
"There is a special spice in this snack, called Qi Dax, which is specially used for beauty, women eat delicate skin, white and red, and no wrinkles, very suitable for the queen to eat, this kind of thing is very rare, and very precious, not ordinary people can buy it with money. Very few people know about this rare thing, so this dim sum is definitely not something that ordinary imperial dining rooms can make.
And this kind of dim sum can be used for a long time, so that the youth can stay forever, and the appearance will always remain the same as when the first time you take it, and will not change again.
The only thing is that this substance cannot be used together with the deep sea water incense, these two things are mixed together, it is highly poisonous, once the person who takes the mis incense or smells the dal incense, smells the deep sea dal incense, it will be poisoned. The queen mother has been taking the madam for a long time, and after taking it, she rests on the couch made of deep sea incense, and over time, the toxins accumulate in the body, causing a terminal illness. ”
"Come on, check! Investigate thoroughly! Look at who provided the dace in this snack. ”
The steward of the imperial dining room hurried over, and although it was winter, his forehead was already sweating.
"I ask you, where did you buy this dim sum from a strange dahu?"
The steward of the imperial dining room glanced at the pastry and said strangely: "This is ordinary glutinous rice Xiangyi? ”
"You taste it and see what's in it. Zhang Xiaolin said.
The steward tasted it carefully, he was a special imperial chef, and sure enough, he tasted the difference, and frowned: "The original recipe is to add osmanthus to increase the fragrance of this cake, but this is not osmanthus? Who changed this recipe? Strange, no one told me." ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately beckoned: "Come on, go with the steward to check what is going on." ”
When the steward of the imperial dining room heard that Li Shimin was calling, his legs were weak, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave really doesn't know, is there something wrong?"
"You can bring the guards over and bring the rest of the spices, and see where you got them from, and find the source. ”
After a while, the guard brought a jade box with three small yellow flowers the size of mung beans.
When Zhang Xiaolin saw it, he was really a master, and knew that the elixir must be stored in a jade box to maintain its medicinal properties.
As soon as he opened the jade box, Zhang Xiaolin immediately recognized that this was the top-level first-order elixir, a mature mhu fragrant flower.
This Qing Capsule Pill Sutra is very strange, after entering the sea of knowledge and activating the first layer of content, Zhang Xiaolin seems to know these elixirs in the first place, and some of the names and properties of the medicine are known, as if he was born with it.
"Your Majesty, that's right, these two things are good medicine, but as long as they are mixed together, they become highly poisonous, please find a puppy. ”
Li Shimin's face was pale, and with a wave of his hand, a eunuch immediately went out and came in with a puppy.
Zhang Xiaolin took out a small yellow flower from the jade box, just took a petal, this thing is too valuable, it hurts to waste it so much!
"Please ask the emperor to get some sawdust from that wooden couch and mix it together and give it to him. ”
Li Shimin took the petals the size of a grain of rice, scraped some sawdust on the wooden couch with a sword, wrapped it in a little heart, and threw it into the puppy's mouth.
The puppy ate it with relish, and in less than a stick of incense, he fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and bled to death through seven holes.
