The punishment of the female imperial court

Yu Qiansi looked at these gray-clothed men who looked exhausted and seemed to be struggling despite being sick. The doubts that had been lingering in her mind for the past half month became even stronger.

"Patriarch Lan is right. So Cistanche deserticola is just a hook. A hook that can lure me in and make everyone let down their guard. If I hadn't had reinforcements when I went to the medicine storehouse at night yesterday and was caught by your people, now, this story should be told differently, right?"

The person who poisoned His Majesty would be her, and the person who colluded with Northern Qi would be the Duke of Qi.

Without her supervision, the medicine handed to the saint together with Cistanche deserticola would have the chance to be tampered with.

"You know I'm suspicious by nature. I won't take the bait if you use fake things, and using Cistanche deserticola is too obvious. So you took the risk of using real things to lure me in, and spread the news in Longyuan City that there was a Taoist who was refining elixirs and was in urgent need of alum. The purpose was to lure me to that medicine storehouse."

"But since I am suspicious by nature, I will never take risks alone."

Lan Shu could not hide the surprise on his face. The dim candlelight flashed by, and he seemed to reveal a momentary daze.

Last night, while the two men were confronting each other, a candle flickered outside the window and someone was approaching.

When the man in black was trying his best to stop her from escaping, who would care about the fire that had long lost its heat?
Before entering the house, Yu Qiansi had thrown a wax-wrapped cigarette into the fire.

When the wax melts, it will rise into the sky.

Everyone thought that there were several groups of people looking for her, and even if she sneaked into Longyuan, she had to hide her identity and be cautious.

But after careful consideration, she realized that among these people, those who hurt herself and searched herself did not seem to be of the same kind.

If a signal from the Ministry of Justice appeared, the group of people who were rushing towards her with various purposes would be in chaos for her to escape even for a moment.

What's more, she had already instructed Zhang Yu to take people to the water to meet up with the people from the Ministry of Justice.

Therefore, the Ministry of Justice received the three-color signal, and people who came all the way from the capital arrived at the right time and caught all the ambushes in one fell swoop.

"The owners of the two pharmacies have already pointed out that the Lan family is the real buyer of the alum. I wonder what the Lan family is going to do with all the alum?"

Most people present were confused and looked at Lan Shu.

Lan Shu lowered his head hurriedly, "Someone in the tribe is seriously ill, and we are using it as a medicine."

"What's wrong? Although I'm not an expert in medicine, I'm more reliable than ordinary doctors. How about I help you take a look?"

Lan Shu panted for a moment, "I'm sure you can see that the health of my Lan family members is not good. This is a disease that all my Lan family members will have. The dosage is naturally larger. The prescription I'm using now is also a folk prescription I got from a wandering Taoist priest. I don't think this prescription is in the pharmacopoeia either-"

"--Even if it is not in the pharmacopoeia, it should not violate pharmacology," Yu Qiansi interrupted him with a sweet smile, "Although there are many types of medicinal guides, most of them are mild in nature. They are composed of medicines or foods that match the main medicine or can guide the efficacy of the medicine. They are designed to enhance the effect of the medicine, guide the meridians, or harmonize the medicinal properties. The dosage will not be too much. Alumite, it seems that it does not have these effects, right? If there are so many alumites in the prescription, it does not seem to be a medicinal guide, but a main medicine. If so, I suggest that Chief Lan investigate it carefully. This wandering Taoist priest may have a grudge against you and want to poison you."

Seeing that Lan Shu was about to argue, Yu Qiansi interrupted him again, "Don't tell me that other things are used to repel insects and treat insect poison. Everything that has been done will leave traces."

The most common use of alum is to repel insects, and it can also be used to treat flesh bitten by insects.

But whether it is to prevent insects or treat bad flesh, it will leave traces.

She was tired after several days and was too lazy to deal with these people.

"There is purple quartz near volcanoes. If I remember correctly, this place in the imperial tomb is the only volcano in Dasheng."

Yu Qiansi stood with her hands behind her back, her red clothes fluttering, and looked at the people on the bridge with a smile, as if she was admiring a peerless beauty.

"Amethyst, amethyst. This reminds me of a magical medicine."

Stalactites, sulfur, alum, purple quartz, and red stone.

Indulge yourself in pleasure, and your body will not be in harmony. Take Shisan to eliminate diseases and help the spirit. Expel cold, dredge meridians, warm the meridians and disperse blood stasis.

However, if you eat improperly, the internal fire will surge up and the heat will spread everywhere, and it needs to be dispersed.

Heat and toxins accumulate, causing life expectancy in mild cases and death in severe cases.

When everyone heard those five familiar names of medicines, there was nothing they didn't understand.

Isn’t this the Five-Stone Powder that was once popular before the fall of the previous dynasty?

Yu Qiansi took out a cigarette from his arms and threw it into the air, dyeing the valley red again.

After just a moment, Yaoguang, who had just gone in to deliver the medicine, returned to Yu Qiansi with a few packages of things.

"Sir, there were a few people who resisted at the medicine storage place. I followed your instructions and killed them all. Here are a few prescriptions I found. There are different dosages and some medicine residues on them."

Yu Qiansi spread the things out in front of everyone.

The leading officials couldn't hide their curiosity and couldn't help but stretch their heads to look.

But it was dark after all and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Shang Fu couldn't stand it any longer, so he pushed everyone away, came in front of Yu Qiansi, and looked at it in the light of the fire.

"Alumite, purple quartz, stalactite?" Shang Fu counted and was a little confused: "These are only the three flavors. Haven't they found the others yet?"

Yu Qiansi glanced at Shang Fu calmly and handed the thing in his hand to Shang Fu. "The King of Medicine believed that the Five Stone Powder had an excessive burning property and that it must be used with caution. Therefore, he personally removed the two medicinal ingredients, sulfur and red stone, and invented the Three Stone Powder, which has a lighter effect."

Shang Fu passed the packages of things to the court officials as if he was presenting treasures, while he was apparently thinking about something.

"That's not right, Lord Yu!" He slapped his head, "If it was really the Lan family who poisoned first and then used the Cistanche incident to frame you. They also wanted to use the Cistanche presented to His Majesty as a detoxification and add ingredients to the medicine. Shouldn't Wu Shi San be more effective? Why use the milder San Shi San? And I see that the dosages on this prescription are different, as if they are constantly trying different doses."

Shang Fu actually got the point.

Yu Qiansi looked at Lan Shu, who had been keeping his head down and saying nothing since she mentioned the Five Stone Powder. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was trembling slightly.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, deciding to take this opportunity to force out some clues.

"Master Shaoqing is extremely intelligent, and I am also very curious. It seems that you are afraid that the dosage will be too high and will hurt the dragon's body. Chief Lan, I really don't understand what you can do with your monopoly of purple quartz and Cistanche deserticola? And what is the purpose?"

Lan Shu suddenly clenched his fists, and Yu Qiansi nodded alertly.

Just at this moment, a voice of calling out was heard from inside the imperial mausoleum.

"The Holy Lord has arrived!"

Yu Qiansi curled her lips, looking impatient.

He didn't come early or late, and he always interrupted her when she asked the key questions.

Although she knelt with everyone else to welcome the emperor, her expression still smiling, her shallow eyes were filled with obvious impatience.

Jiang Jiqing, as always, spoke softly and gently, asking everyone to stand up.

Then he smiled and looked aside, "Cousin, I am still not as good as you. This round, you win." (End of this chapter)
