Chapter 319 Because he is the prince (two updates combined into one, please vote for me)
Eunuch Yu returned to Cining Palace and handed the box he brought back to Mother Ma.

Mother Ma took out the tiger bone inside, looked at it carefully, and turned to Lin Yunyan with some embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yunyan asked.

Mother Ma smiled coquettishly and did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked Eunuch Yu: "Did you take it out of the East Palace warehouse?"

Eunuch Yu agreed, and when he saw the Queen Mother looking at him doubtfully, he told him everything about the trip without hiding anything.

There is no exaggeration, everything is true, and there is no judgment or conjecture of my own. I only say what I really saw and heard.

Even so, it was enough to make the Queen Mother frown.

There were also maids and nuns in the palace. She didn't say anything to Li Shao, but she was not satisfied.

"What's wrong with this tiger bone?" she just asked Mother Ma.

Ma Ma then said: "When this was delivered to the Royal Pharmacy, I saw it several times and thought it was really a good thing."

Fortunately, after so many years, when the princess mentioned looking for tiger bones, this was the first thing that came to her mind.

"It's a pity that it was not well preserved and the quality is not as good as before." Grandma Ma felt very regretful.

Lin Yunyan listened, and even though she restrained herself, the corners of her lips were barely pressed down.

Li Shao deserves to be Li Shao.

She deliberately found trouble with Li Shao today.

Regardless of whether Li Shao is happy or not, this tiger bone will definitely be taken out as long as it is still in the East Palace. The more unhappy he is, the more satisfied Lin Yunyan will be.

And Li Shao's reaction was just as he expected, so much so that he even asked Eunuch Cao to make an extra trip.

After all, that person was the current prince, the most protected and favored son of the Holy Emperor.

She and Xu Jian could not go into a "head-to-head confrontation", and could only use circuitous methods to try to force out Li Shao's madness.

This is cannibalization and cannot be rushed.

From Eunuch Cao's trip to the East Palace, Lin Yunyan basically achieved what she wanted.

As for how this matter will ferment in Li Shao's heart, it originally had to wait for a while, but now it seems that it can be cut again.

Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip hard and pushed the corners of her lips downward: "It wasn't preserved well? The quality is not good? It shouldn't be right?"

Other palace people knew the rules in the Royal Pharmacy in great detail, but they, like the father-in-law and Grandma Wang, had all heard of them, and the Empress Dowager also knew them all.

All kinds of medicines in the palace, no matter whether they are expensive or common, are all stored there. Everyone who works there, from the chambermaids to the maids, all know medical knowledge. There is no one who is stupid, how can they not store the medicinal materials well?
This tiger bone was a tribute from the late emperor. It was an old medicinal material for more than ten years. If the imperial pharmacy could not save it, it would not have given this bone to the prince when he was injured and needed a tiger bone.

This shows that the things were still good when they left the Royal Pharmacy.

It was in the past three or four years that there was a problem with the storage in the East Palace.

First she said "no", and then she took it out and kept it improperly. Lin Yunyan sighed: "Will it affect the efficacy of the medicine?"

Mother Ma guessed the princess's thoughts and gave an ambiguous answer.

Seeing the annoyance on Lin Yunyan's face, the Queen Mother thought for a while and asked Grandma Wang to screen the others away again.

Younger father-in-law did not retreat this time. He respectfully stayed by the curtain. He could look outside and hear every word spoken inside.

"This is my fault," Lin Yunyan said. "I brought it up because I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. It not only took care of the Duke's injury, but also gave the Prince a chance to resolve his knot. It seems that It’s really self-defeating.”

The Queen Mother patted the back of Lin Yunyan's hand.

She had agreed before and thought it was a good idea. Unfortunately, she did not expect that Li Shao would not appreciate it at all.

Even though the tiger bones were brought back, the knot in his heart was definitely not resolved, and the knot in his heart might have become even bigger.

It’s not Yun Yan’s fault, it’s Li Shao’s temper that goes too far!
If it was a direct grandson, the Empress Dowager would have to teach Li Shao a lesson. How could a majestic prince act so carelessly and without regard for the future, and just act randomly based on his mood and temper?

But the Holy Lord was not her biological son after all. She had to think about her words if she wanted to communicate with the Holy Lord about Li Shao's problem.

Thinking of the previous wine tribute, the Queen Mother sighed again.

You really shouldn't deliberately provoke Li Shao. It's unnecessary and will not be beneficial to Yun Yan or Xu Jian.

After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager would not settle those old scores with Lin Yunyan. She just said: "What you think and what you can achieve are always two different things."

When other people are involved, everyone will have their own ideas and everything will not go as planned.

Lin Yunyan said: "The doctor comes from the northeast and has very high requirements for tiger bones. He may not want to use this broken one back. After all, he is treating the injuries of the Duke. Whether he will be rich or poor in the future will not matter." Watch this time.

I also hope that Mr. Guo’s injury will heal. What if he ends up being affected by this tiger bone?

I asked for one today, and it will be inconvenient to open my mouth again later. Why don't you let me have the audacity to go to the Royal Pharmacy and get another one?The stuff kept in the palace is definitely better than the stuff in the pharmacies in the capital. "

The Queen Mother actually had this idea, but their original "goodwill" turned into "looking for trouble".

Lin Yunyan lowered her eyes and asked cautiously: "Tell me, if I fall, can I..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Queen Mother glared at her angrily.

Lin Yunyan remained silent.

That's enough oil.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother said to Mother Ma: "Go and pick another one."

Mother Ma responded and hurriedly exited.

The Empress Dowager frowned and said in a serious voice: "From now on, you will not be able to have this kind of thought at all. No one is worth trading your body for."

She knew that Yun Yan's true feelings for Xu Jian were a good thing, but her body was hers.

We haven't gotten married yet, but after we get married, our hearts will become closer to each other.

"You," the empress dowager hugged her and said, "you are willing to let it go, but the Ai family won't let it go, and Xu Jian won't let it go either. If you really fall for him, he won't be able to heal his wounds."

Lin Yunyan remained silent.

That was what she said on purpose, and she really wouldn't do it.

She and Xu Jian can exchange lives.

When something happened in the past, Xu Jian had been protecting her even if she had difficulty moving, and risked his life to save her at the last moment.

That's a kind of instinct. In the blink of an eye, you don't care about any thinking, and you rely on reaction to save your life.

Although she was not saved, she kept this friendship in her heart.

When it comes to a life-and-death fight, Lin Yunyan thought, that would be her instinct, but right now, that moment is far away.

She just adds fuel to the fire.

It's a pity that the oil not only fell into the fire, but also fell on the tip of her heart.

"Isn't anyone worthy?" Lin Yunyan choked up. She really didn't mean to recruit the Queen Mother, or many past events rushed into her mind, and she was just a small boat, swaying in the wind and rain. "The prince is worthy, because he is the prince. So Xu Jian’s leg was injured, so my mother was gone..."

The hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened, almost as if it was tightly clasped on her bones.

The Queen Mother even breathed a little faster.

She is a member of the royal family, and the rules of being a monarch and a minister are unforgettable.

She knew that the same was true for Yun Yan. Yun Yan understood the truth and knew how to advance and retreat. In fact, it was not just Yun Yan. Xu Jian was the same, and A Yun was the same. These ethical principles were often rooted in the bone marrow from childhood to adulthood, so that they would not hesitate when encountering problems. with hesitation.Having no regrets does not mean that there will be no regrets and heartache.

Just because you know you should, doesn't mean you won't remember and miss it.

The human heart is like this, it is all made of flesh.

At this time, it was useless to say anything, there was no need to explain the truth, and there was no comfort. The Queen Mother just hugged Lin Yunyan and remained silent for a long time.

In the Royal Pharmacy, Eunuch Fang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Mother Ma coming again.

Not only him, everyone else also looked over curiously.

Mother Ma is very aware of the twists and turns in the palace. The more people are avoided, the more attractive they become.

She asked Eunuch Fang to lend her a moment to speak.

Not far away, she was standing in the corridor outside the palace. She said in a lower voice: "Eunuch Cao went to the East Palace to get it. Unfortunately, he didn't store it properly, which may affect the efficacy of the medicine. The Queen Mother asked me to come here again to pick one."

Eunuch Fang is speechless.

How much good medicine must be wasted before the Queen Mother has to ask for it again?
He glanced into the hall and saw that everyone inside seemed to have their ears pricked up, so he said: "Have you noticed any one before? The Za family will take it out for you directly. Don't pick it all over again."

Mother Ma smiled bitterly: "I'm not looking for trouble. I'm satisfied with it when I see it. I didn't remember its number. Eunuch Fang, can you tell it? I just wanted to ask His Highness for it."

Eunuch Fang is so bitter.

He could see clearly that it was a fight between gods.

The princess launched an attack on the East Palace. She thought that their imperial pharmacy was just a lure, and it would be fine if she took it out, but she didn't expect that it would come back again in the end.

Oh.

What did you just say?

What Eunuch Cao went to the East Palace to get was actually Eunuch Cao!
Calculating the time, it has been so long since the princess left the Imperial Pharmacy. It can be seen that the hunt for tiger bones was not going well.

And when the princess got a tiger bone, the empress dowager could still ask Mother Ma to come again. The one who thought it was untenable was the prince.

This is really...

"Come with me," Eunuch Fang motioned for Mother Ma to follow, "make less noise."

The two went to the inner hall. Eunuch Fang asked a confidant to get the tiger bone. He avoided the group of people and let Mother Ma pick one.

But how can this matter really be hidden from everyone?

It didn’t take a long time for everyone in the Royal Pharmacy to know about it. Mother Ma came to pick out a tiger bone again, and added the news that Eunuch Yu entered and exited Cuihua Palace twice and Eunuch Cao personally visited the East Palace. God, the palace will gradually come up with different "possibilities".

As the chief chamberlain, Eunuch Cao was obviously the first to hear about it.

After he came back from the East Palace, he reported it to the Holy Emperor. He only told what happened and used words carefully.

Even if he thought that His Highness the Crown Prince's affairs would not be beautiful, Eunuch Cao would not make irresponsible remarks in front of the emperor, because the Holy Emperor had his own judgment in his heart, and his garrulousness was the behavior of a fool.

Then, he heard that Grandma Ma went to the Royal Pharmacy again.

After people went to inquire about it, they found out that the tiger bone in the East Palace was not properly preserved.

Eunuch Cao didn't know that the tiger bones were found in the painting vat, but thinking about the mess in the East Palace warehouse, he guessed that they would not be stored properly.

This is not only true for tiger bones, but also for other things.

Eunuch Cao should not care about the reward given to the prince, but he could not ignore it completely.

Most of the old things left by the late empress were kept in the Holy Palace, and some were given to the prince one after another in the past few years. If any of them are damaged...

Eunuch Cao looked at His Majesty secretly and thought to himself, this is really troublesome.

Turn a blind eye, or bite the bullet?
Eunuch Cao was very confused.

Counting the days, this year marks the death anniversary of the 15th year of my life. It’s not a big breakup, but it’s not a big breakup.

The Holy One should have lifted His Highness's grounding before the anniversary of his death, but after all, if these things happened, he would have to be lectured, and even less likely to use the late Queen to give His Highness some encouragement.

Maybe at that time, the Holy Spirit was thinking about something old and old.

No matter what, you should know it first, at least he must know it.

Thinking about this matter, Eunuch Cao took some time to read the book in person and listed all the relics that had been rewarded over the years. He also asked someone to take the list to the East Palace and hand it over to Eunuch Guo.

"Tell him that nothing on it can be missing or broken."

Eunuch Guo took the order and looked at the words, his eyes darkened.

His Highness refused to give permission for the warehouse, and Eunuch Cao wanted to take the warehouse again. He was caught in the middle. This...

"Why did Eunuch Cao suddenly think of this?" Eunuch Guo asked.

He didn't know what was going on outside. When he heard that Cining Palace had asked the Royal Pharmacy for a tiger bone, he could only sigh.

Eunuch Guo summoned little Zengzi.

Xiao Zengzi was also dizzy when he looked at the list: "Do you really want to check again? Eunuch Guo, you have seen the warehouse like this. Whatever is missing or broken has nothing to do with the little ones. They messed it up before."

"The Miscellaneous family knows!" Eunuch Guo shouted in a low voice, "Now that we have found out, we can still pass it on to the original group of people. If we delay it for a long time, neither you nor I will be able to take advantage of it. Especially since Eunuch Cao has given us all the clear orders. , if you make a false report, you won’t be able to explain it clearly in the future.”

Li Shao noticed that things were going on again in the warehouse.

He called Eunuch Guo to him and asked, "What did Xu Jian ask Ning An to ask for again? Why didn't anyone tell me? One tiger bone isn't enough for him?"

"It's not the princess," Eunuch Guo hurriedly explained, "It's true that we haven't done the counting for a while, so..."

He didn't know why the prince came to the Duke of Fu to question him.

In his opinion, asking for tiger bones was also the idea of ​​the princess and had nothing to do with the auxiliary Duke.

Duke Fu Guo can speak well before the emperor. He wants to find medicine. Will the Holy Father agree?There is no need for the princess to come forward and go around the Cining Palace.

"I told you not to order it that day." Li Shao became angry.

What was clearly said at that time, these people below actually "made a comeback", this is the East Palace!
These people don't see him as the prince!

Eunuch Guo did not dare to withstand Li Shao's anger and said honestly: "It was the imperial study room who sent me a list and asked me to point out the items on it."

Li Shao strode outside the warehouse and asked for the order.

At this glance, he understood.

The calligraphy was Eunuch Cao's, and he recognized it; the things should all belong to his mother, and some of the names looked familiar to him.

He just wasn't sure whether this was his father's request, or whether Eunuch Cao had grown up and came to the East Palace to dictate.

However, this list also reminded him.

The anniversary of his mother's death was coming soon, and he would be able to go out soon.

On that day, he would ask Eunuch Cao carefully and take a good look at Xu Jian's injuries.
