Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Qingzhi told Lu Wanning what she thought.

Lu Wanning looked at her and said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry, you have to give them time, even if there are really people with two hearts, they will not do it privately, they have to wait until their real master gives them time. order."

It's only been a day, maybe those people haven't even received their master's order yet.

Anyway, she will have to take this medicine for a few more days, and she has plenty of time to wait.

It would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to clear out those people with ulterior motives in Ruichang Palace.

There was no progress on Qingzhi's side, but good progress was made on Zhou Man's side.

Zhou Man and Lu Wanning reported: "Master, you asked the little one to check the two maids, and there is indeed no problem, but there seems to be something wrong with the little maid next to Concubine Ming."

Lu Wanning was surprised: "This matter really has something to do with Concubine Ming?"

Zhou Man heard the words and said: "I don't know if this matter is really related to Concubine Ming, but I found out that the maid who was scratched by the cat and caused the cat to run away was with Concubine Ming before hugging the cat. One of the little palace maids came into contact."

It is not accurate to say that they have been in contact. To be precise, the two should have met. The little maid in Ming Taifei's palace accidentally bumped into the little maid who was scratched by a cat while walking.

This is not a big deal at all, but Zhou Man found nothing after searching for a long time, so he thought he couldn't let go of any clues, and checked again carefully, only to find that the little maid in Ming Taifei's palace bumped into the woman who was scratched by a cat. That little maid's timing was a bit too coincidental.

Just a quarter of an hour before she was tickled by the cat.

Because Lu Wanning likes to study spices and other things, Zhou Man also has some superficial understanding of spices.

After discovering this, Zhou Man wondered if there was a spice that could attract butterflies, would there also be a spice that is particularly hated by cats?
If the little maid in Ming Taifei's palace took the opportunity of bumping into people and sprinkled the spice hated by cats on the court lady who was scratched by the cat, then the maid would be scratched by the cat, and the cat would suddenly run away. up.

"A spice hated by cats?"

Lu Wanning has never raised a cat, she doesn't know what spices cats hate, and she has never read such books.

Zhou Man nodded, and said: "I have asked the Imperial Physician She of the Imperial Hospital privately. The Imperial Physician She said that cats have better noses, and many people think that good smells may irritate them."

Imperial Physician She has been in the Imperial Hospital for many years. His medical skills are not considered good in the Imperial Hospital, and he is not particularly good at it. Over the years, he has not been paid much attention in the Imperial Hospital. Who knows that the empress dowager once raised the cat? The cat was sick, had diarrhea and refused to eat, so the empress dowager asked a group of imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to treat the cat.

The highly skilled imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were helpless against the cat. After all, the cat could not speak, and they could not feel the cat's pulse. They could not prescribe medicine if they knew why the cat was not eating and did not know the symptoms.

At this time, Imperial Physician She, a fringe figure in the Imperial Hospital, stepped forward to cure the cat. Since then, Imperial Physician She has lost face in front of the Empress Dowager, and often goes in and out of the Empress Dowager's Shouan Palace.

Of course, they all went to see the cat to see if the cat was healthy.

The people in Tai Hospital wondered why Imperial Physician She knew what was going on with the cat. Imperial Physician She told everyone that their family had raised many cats, and his old mother and daughter liked cats very much. He was often forced by his old mother to see a doctor for her cat.

Although the cat can't speak and can't let them feel the pulse, she can also infer where the cat is uncomfortable and what disease it has based on the symptoms shown by the cat.

The people who listened could only admire him, and they couldn't envy such a skill. It was also because of his understanding of cats that Imperial Physician She had such a chance.

Afterwards, everyone in the palace knew that Imperial Physician She knew cats very well and could treat cats raised by the Empress Dowager.

This time, Zhou Man had such doubts, so he naturally went to see Imperial Physician She to make sure.

Lu Wanning thought for a while, and felt that since Imperial Physician She said that there are indeed many scents that would irritate cats, then Zhou Man's suspicion was justified, but it was only Zhou Man and her suspicion after all, and they had no evidence in their hands. It would be more troublesome to search, she had to find Zhou Man a helper.

"You find a way to reveal your suspicion to Eunuch Laifu." Lu Wanning said.

Zhou Man and Lai Fu are two people, one is in the open and the other is in the dark. It should be much easier to check than Zhou Man alone.

Zhou Man nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, master, I'll let someone disclose this matter to Eunuch Laifu."

In Shou'an Palace, Lai Fu was worrying about the lack of progress, when he suddenly heard the little eunuch next to him tell him that he suspected the little maid next to Concubine Ming who had bumped into someone before.

Although Laifu felt that the little eunuch's suspicion was a bit unfounded, she still found the little palace lady who was caught by the cat with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and asked her: "When you were hit by someone yesterday, did you know what happened?" Do you smell something special?"

The maid thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly: "I didn't smell the special fragrance, but I seemed to smell the smell of oranges at that time."

The smell of orange should not be special, right?

"The smell of oranges?" Laifu mused, why does a little maid have the smell of oranges, this season is not yet the season when a large number of oranges are ripe and on the market.

Could it be that the little maid next to Concubine Ming really has a problem?

The little eunuch next to Laifu cleverly stepped forward and said to Laifu: "Why don't you go to the Imperial Hospital and find Imperial Physician She to come over and ask whether the smell of oranges will irritate the cat."

Lai Fu nodded, "Well, you can go."

The little eunuch quickly found Dr. She, who also confirmed that there are indeed many cats who don't like the smell of oranges.

After knowing this, Laifu reported the matter to the Empress Dowager. After all, she was a court lady next to Concubine Ming. It's up to the Queen Mother to make the decision.

After listening to Laifu's report, the Queen Mother went directly to the Fu'an Palace of Concubine Ming.

Concubine Ming saw the Empress Dowager coming to her at this time, she was very surprised and said: "Empress Dowager, what happened, why are you here now?"

The Empress Dowager didn't mean to hide anything, she sat down and said directly: "You should have heard about the frightened Concubine Zhuang yesterday, right?"

Concubine Ming nodded, "I heard that, fortunately Concubine Zhuang is lucky, otherwise the consequences would be serious."
