Chapter 78 You kid is just sitting here buying stocks!
When Xiao Xiazi was surprised that what was burned in the house was actually silver charcoal, Chu Liuzheng also discovered the real behind-the-scenes instructions.
【￥%&*#@%&*#@! 】
She cursed a series of curse words in her mind!
[It is said that a servant cannot serve two masters, so you are here to buy stocks! 】
[Gao Bin, Xu Wanyi, Wen Meiren, all of them can’t stand my hands! 】
[I am just a weak and pitiful little palace maid! These three people think too highly of me, and they want to kill me one after another! 】
Chu Liuzheng continued to dig deeper.
[Well, there is someone behind the old godmother. Shen Chongyi, right? What about the flower that was said to be considerate and understanding? Piranha variant? 】
【Um? There was no Concubine Rong. I thought she wanted me to die the most... Wait a minute! Concubine Gao turned out to be Concubine Rong! 】
[Isn’t Concubine Gao a member of the Queen’s family? 】
Chu Liuzheng found that he still knew too little about the women in the harem.
[Well, these two have been together since they entered the palace, but they have always pretended to be tit-for-tat on the surface. In order to make the queen believe it, Concubine Rong even punished the concubine several times. 】
[Tsk, tsk, this is still a double agent... uh... should I say, he has both sides? 】
There was too much information, and Chu Liuzheng's mind was a little confused.
【Let me sort it out. Old Qianpo was Shen Chongyi's family and was responsible for dispensing medicines for the nobles. After receiving Shen Chongyi's instructions, she mixed a small amount of ginger powder and salvia powder into my medicine powder while dispensing the medicine. 】
[Then there was Xiao Xuanzi. He wanted to be transferred out of the Cold Palace, so he successively tried to please the people in Gao Concubine, Xu Wanyi and Wen Meiren Palace. The three of them all felt that Xiao Xuanzi was clever and capable of getting things done. When doing such a fatal errand and it was inconvenient to arrange for people around him to do it, Xiao Xuanzi came in handy. 】
[The medicine in Xiao Xuanzi's hand was obtained by Gao Concubine from a young eunuch in the imperial garden. 】
[The little eunuch is responsible for catching insects and making specimens, which requires a large amount of such antiseptic drugs. Concubine Gao sent someone to drive away the little eunuch, and hid some of him under the pretense of accidentally touching him. 】
[The eldest concubine gave the medicine to Xiao Xuanzi and asked him to sneak into the pharmacy and administer the medicine. Xu Wanyi asked Xiao Xuanzi to find a way to add something to the medicine that would hinder the recovery of the wound. Wen Meiren asked Xiao Xuanzi to memorize some commonly used antiseptic and muscle-building medicinal materials, and asked him to find a way to make these medicines unusable. 】
[Accepting three benefits to run one errand, Xiao Xuanzi makes a lot of money! 】
If he hadn't been the one who was harmed by Xiao Xuanzi, Chu Liuzheng would have wanted to applaud him.
[After finishing the errand, Xiao Xuanzi reported to the three masters one by one. Among them, Wen Meiren was the most frustrated and ordered his eunuch to kill Xiao Xuanzi and throw his body into the well in the imperial garden. 】
[Originally, it was windy that day and no one would go to the Royal Garden at that time. It was just the right time to dump the body. But God is not as good as man. Who would have expected that Zhu Meiren would suddenly become interested and go to the Royal Garden to see the red plums? 】
Chu Liuzheng was grateful for this providence.
If Xiao Xuanzi hadn't been silenced and Xiao Yunzi happened to come tonight to join in the fun and bring up the ghost incident in the pharmacy, she might have had to wait several days to realize that the medicine was wrong, and the day lilies would have been cold by then.
Even now she doesn't know if it can be saved.
Chu Liuzheng sighed softly and looked down at his troubled hand.
Why are you so hated?
Seeing that she finally made a move, Xia Qiaoru hurriedly asked: "You just asked about the medicinal materials, but what's wrong?"
As she spoke, she looked at Chu Liuzheng's hand, her eyebrows furrowed in worry, forming a shallow crease.
Xiao Xia Zi and Xiao Yun Zi also looked over.
Chu Liuzheng glanced at the three of them and stretched his arms forward, "I may have been tricked."
Xiao Yunzi was startled and her eyes widened, "Girl, are you saying that someone tampered with your medicine?"
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
Xiao Xiazi asked in confusion: "How did the girl know that there was something wrong with the wound medicine?"
"Don't you think it was a coincidence that the robbery in the pharmacy happened? I was injured during the day, and something happened to the pharmacy that night." There was no basis for the old Qianpo's story, so Chu Liuzheng could only make an issue of Xiao Xuanzi.
"I think they are here for me. You may not know, but I heard from Your Majesty that the thief who sneaked into the pharmacy that night was Xiao Xuanzi who was dumped in the well. The Queen is still investigating the murderer."
In fact, the tyrant never told her at all, but that didn't stop Chu Liuzheng from using the banner to make his rhetoric more convincing.
Besides, what happened to Xiao Xuanzi was too similar to killing people, silencing their mouths, destroying their corpses, and wiping out their traces. The three of them had not just entered the palace. How could they not have guessed that there was something fishy involved when Chu Liuzheng reminded them like this?
"I'm going to find the imperial doctor." Xia Qiaoru was so worried that she couldn't sit still for a moment, so she stood up and left.
"Girl, wait a minute." Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi stood up. Xiao Xiazi said, "Girl, please stay and take care of me. Let's go."
"Wait!" Chu Liuzheng, the person involved, was not so panicked and called out to the three of them, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
The three of them were stunned.
Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother.
On such a happy day, even if the ladies in the harem are sick, they have to endure it first, and the imperial doctor should not be disturbed unless it is a matter of life and death.
If they went to the imperial hospital now, even if they could invite the imperial doctor on duty to Nong Yunyuan, if such a big thing happened and His Majesty had given orders first, the imperial doctor would not dare to take matters into his own hands and would have to report it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If word of this reaches the ears of the masters above, wouldn’t they be deliberately seeking bad luck on such a festive day?
It ranges from being reprimanded and beaten dozens of times, to the more severe consequences of losing one's life.
"Sit down when you have figured it out." Chu Liuzheng handed the three people a step, "It has been three days, and the imperial doctor didn't notice anything was wrong. The dose should not be large, and it will be fine if it lasts another night."
"No." Xia Qiaoru disagreed with her face. "Since you have discovered something is wrong, how can you just put it aside like this? I will boil some water to help you clean it, and then apply some ordinary wound medicine, and wait until the night is over."
"No." Chu Liuzheng stopped him.
Extensive burns are different from ordinary wounds, and not all medicines can be used.
If he got a bacterial infection or something, Chu Liuzheng didn't want to suffer that.
Xiao Xiazi also had doubts: "Miss Qiaoru, the imperial doctor specifically warned not to touch the wound."
Xiao Yunzi made no comment.
"Qiaoru, I feel fine now, it should be fine. Please sit down and let's continue talking."
Chu Liuzheng looked at Xia Qiaoru, his apricot eyes as warm as water, making Xia Qiaoru unable to get angry at all.
She sat down angrily, feeling useless for a while, and then feeling that Chu Liuzheng was in danger. Her mind was so messed up, how could she be in the mood to tell jokes?
Seeing this, Xiao Yunzi rolled her eyes and deliberately made a weird face and said some witty words to make Xia Qiaoru happy.
Xia Qiaoru couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
When she smiled, the atmosphere finally returned to a bit of relaxation.
Under Chu Liuzheng's intentional guidance, everyone chose to ignore the episode of wound medicine and talked about interesting topics.
Unconsciously, time slipped away quietly for an hour.
The food on the table is almost eaten.
Chu Liuzheng opened his mouth and yawned, "Guess when the banquet will end?"
Xiao Yunzi said: "According to convention, it ends when the fireworks are set off on the gate tower. It will take more than an hour."
Xia Qiaoru suggested: "The fireworks will start setting off soon, let's go to the yard and watch."
Chu Liu was about to agree when he suddenly heard the sound of running footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the closed door.
"His Majesty was assassinated, and the Yulin Guards were ordered to search for the assassin. Open the door!!"
