Resourceful beauty

Chapter 336 Relapse
Knowing that Chu Yuan wanted to relax her mind and prepare for her labor, Fang Ruxuan scribbled on the paper for a while, then let Lilac take it and burn it.

In March, the spring/light is beautiful.

As the sun rose, the eastern sky suddenly shone with golden light. Although there was still a bit of coolness in the breeze blowing towards our faces, we could see that the palace servants passing by on the palace road had already changed into new spring clothes. Pear blossoms and peach blossoms were embroidered with silver-white silk thread in the unremarkable place, and Fang Ruxuan's mood also became somewhat joyful.

"Concubine Yong entered the palace again a few days ago. I don't know. This time, did she bring Wu Shisan here? Can you find any news from Fengming Palace?"

There was no one around, Fang Ruxuan chatted with Sangsan.

Apart from Fengming Palace and Changle Palace, Fang Ruxuan ordered Sangsan early in the morning to arrange unremarkable people to watch over the huge harem, except Fengming Palace and Changle Palace.

Changle Palace is because it is Concubine Han's palace. With Concubine Han's shrewdness, it will be a matter of time before she finds out, and it will cause disharmony between Concubine Han and Chu Yuan's mother and son, and the loss outweighs the gain.

As for Fengming Palace, it was for the sake of caution.

What's more, the people in Fengming Palace are all carefully selected by Queen Zhou for so many years. If you want to insert a person for nothing, it may be more difficult than going to the sky. If it doesn't work, it will be bad , is also a trouble, so Fang Ruxuan did not move for a long time.

Sangshen shook her head, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. However, at the gate of the palace, the slaves have been tampered with. If Princess Yong brought five stone powder when she entered the palace, the slaves will definitely know."

This is something Fang Ruxuan never ordered. Hearing what Sangsan said, Fang Ruxuan's face showed unexpected surprise and admiration.

Sangshen said in a low voice embarrassedly: "My servant asked Mumian sister to find a chipmunk and raised it in the servant's house. After training it for a long time, it is very obedient now. Therefore, whenever Princess Yong wants to enter the palace, this servant will send the chipmunk to the palace. Take the chipmunk to hide near the gate of the inner palace, if there are five stones scattered on the body of Princess Yong and the people she brought into the palace, the chipmunk can smell it and pounce on it."

Just by listening to the name, you will know that it is a rat. When the time comes, as long as there is a change in the chipmunk, you will know whether Princess Yong and others have brought Wushisan into the palace. , I can't catch it, and it comes and goes without a trace. It is even more difficult to find Dong Gong's head.

This method is much simpler and quicker than arranging people in Fengming Palace and spending all their time on spying.

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but look at Sangsan, and praised with a smile: "No wonder Mu Mian always looks adoring when mentioning Chu Donglai. I used to think it was some other reason, but now I realize that the people trained by His Highness are indeed capable. Yes. He is also loyal to the Lord, and he can draw inferences from one instance when doing things.”

In a word, both Chu Dong and Mulberry were praised.

But Sangshen didn't feel complacent in the slightest, she just smiled shyly and said: "The servant girl and Sang Ye are not His Highness's people. Since the day when the servant girl and the servant girl were sent to Prince Qi's mansion, His Highness has told the servant girl and the sisters that From now on, servant girl and younger sister are Miss’s servant girls. Even if Miss doesn’t want us, we can’t go back to His Highness.”

"That's right. Who knew Yuelao had eyes, and the young lady has become a princess, so we don't have to be separated from Big Brother Chu and the others."

Sang Ye has a more lively personality, and she speaks more playfully on weekdays. As long as Chu Yuan is not there, she can always hear her chattering laughter in the courtyard of Xuanyi Hall.

"Brother Chu, is it Chu Dong?"

Fang Ruxuan heard the meaning of Sang Ye's words, and asked jokingly.

Instantly blushing, Mulberry leaf shook her head while looking at Sangsan, with a bit of embarrassment and pleading in her eyes, as if she wanted Sangshen to help her change the subject.

Suspicious eyes turned to Sangsan, Fang Ruxuan's eyes were full of smiles, Sangshen said a little uncomfortably: "When I was in Dayuanjing City, I used to be with the four brothers Chu from east, west, north and south. Treat her like a little sister and treat her wonderfully."

He didn't even say which brother Chu was talking about in Sang Ye's mouth.However, since Chu Dong already had kapok, the "Brother Chu" that Sang Ye was talking about should be one of the other three.

She paid attention in her heart, knowing that they were thin-skinned, Fang Ruxuan didn't ask any more questions, but when she looked at Sang Ye again, she became more playful, which made Sang Ye feel even more embarrassed.

Walking near the Imperial Garden, in the distance, Concubine Fang and her party came slowly, followed by noblemen Yu and nobleman Rou as usual, but this time there was a new face, Fang Ruxuan thought about it for a while, and knew that it was probably a few days ago The noble man who is favored in life.

After meeting each other, there was nothing to talk about with Concubine Fang. Fang Ruxuan nodded and passed by. However, smelling the special fragrance on Concubine Fang's body, Fang Ruxuan frowned slightly. for a moment.

This fragrance seems to have been smelled somewhere.

When nobleman Ming passed by, Fang Ruxuan was even more stunned, the fragrance on nobleman Ming was exactly the same as that of Concubine Fang.

You know, the women in the palace are competing for beauty, rouge, gouache, powder and fragrance, and they wish they were the only ones, how could it be possible to be the same as others?
What's more, Concubine Fang and Lady Ming both came to bed frequently in recent days, even if they wanted to pamper King Yao more, they would not use the same aromatherapy.

After walking for a while, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked Sangsan, "Can you smell the same fragrance from Concubine Fang and Lady Ming?"

Mulberry nodded, "Master, don't worry, this servant will investigate and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Although it was a bit inexplicable, Fang Ruxuan felt that this should not be a coincidence, and it would be more reassuring to check after all.

Before waiting for Sangshen's inquiry results, she heard the news that King Yao passed out. When she found out, Fang Ruxuan subconsciously asked Zheng Ping, "When the King passed out, who was around?"

"It's Mr. Ming."

Zheng Ping replied, talking about the situation he got, "As far as I know, before Mr. Ming went, it was Mr. Yu who served the king. However, I don't know what he said or did wrong. Mr. Yu offended you. Your Majesty was driven away. Then His Majesty summoned Ming Guiren to accompany him, and it took only half an hour for Ming Guiren to arrive at Qian'an Hall, and His Majesty passed out."

As he spoke, Zheng Ping carefully looked around, lowered his voice and said, "When the king fainted, it was Eunuch Li who served him. Eunuch Li said that everything in the hall was normal. It's Ming nobles who are burning incense and playing the piano."

The last time King Yao fainted was due to excessive indulgence after taking Wushisan, but this time, according to the current situation, it seems that it has nothing to do with Wushisan or alcohol.

Fang Ruxuan was a little puzzled, and sent Zheng Ping to continue to inquire about the news, "Ask the imperial physicians and see what the imperial physicians have to say."

Fang Ruxuan was worried, whether King Yao had some old illness, and those who avoided medical treatment did not tell everyone about it.

Now, King Yong and the others are staring at each other, planning how to pull Chu Yuan down from the reserve position all day long. At this moment, if something happens to King Yao, it will really be a big trouble.

Zheng Ping took the order to leave. Fang Ruxuan recalled what he said just now, and a word suddenly popped up in her mind: incense.

Passing by in the imperial garden, Fang Ruxuan felt that the same fragrance of Concubine Fang and Noble Ming was a little puzzling. Now, hearing that King Yao fainted while Noble Ming was burning incense and playing the piano, Fang Ruxuan intuitively thought that it might be The problem lies in the incense.

The nobleman Yu leaves, the nobleman Ming arrives, and then King Yao faints.

"Mulberry..."

Raising her voice to call Mulberry over, Fang Ruxuan ordered: "Go to the House of Internal Affairs and find out what kind of incense is used by Concubine Fang, Yugui, Rougui, and Minggui, and what kind of incense is used in Qian'an Palace?" fragrant."

Mulberry nodded and went out, Fang Ruxuan's thoughts also turned quickly.

Just like musk can cause miscarriage in pregnant women, all kinds of fragrances will have different miraculous effects if they are mixed together. From the beginning, there were only Yugui, Rougui, and Minggui around him, so King Yao may have a tendency to be poisoned now, and fainting may be just a sign.

"Go and see what His Highness is doing, let him come back soon after he's busy..."

Knowing that she was thinking wildly, but felt that the more she thought about it, the more frightening she felt. Fang Ruxuan summoned Ding Xiang and asked her to send a message to Zheng Ping to let Chu Yuan come back sooner.

When Chu Yuan came back, it was already pitch black outside.

"Is the father awake?"

Going forward to ask anxiously, Fang Ruxuan paid attention to Chu Yuan's expression.

With a trace of imperceptible anxiety in the calmness, Chu Yuan nodded, "I've woken up. At this moment, the queen and concubine are at Qian'an Hall."

"What did the doctor say?"

Fang Ruxuan took Chu Yuan's arm and walked towards the inner hall, while winking at Ding Xiang, asking the small kitchen to bring up the prepared meals.

"The imperial doctor said there was nothing serious. Maybe it was caused by the lack of qi and blood caused by spring sleepiness. He told my father to go to the Royal Garden for a while if he had nothing to do. He prescribed a few prescriptions for Haosheng to recuperate for a while, and he didn't say anything else."

After finishing speaking lightly, Chu Yuan took the spoon handed over by Fang Ruxuan, and drank the soup in big gulps.

But Fang Ruxuan knew that the reason for Chu Yuan's anxiety was probably what the imperial physician said was nothing serious.

"After you went to Qian'an Palace, did you find anything?"

Asking Chu Yuan softly, Fang Ruxuan explained her doubts in the afternoon.

Although there is nothing abnormal about the aromatherapy of the four concubines Fang found by Mulberry, Fang Ruxuan also knows that if the fainting of King Yao this time is indeed related to the aromatherapy, then what kind of incense are the concubines Fang using? I can find it.

"When I went, the doors and windows of Qian'an Palace were opened, and the queen said that the ventilation should be ventilated so that the father can wake up earlier."

As Chu Yuan said, his brows furrowed tightly.

The meaning of the imperial physician was probably to tell King Yao not to stay indoors all the time, and to go to places like the imperial garden to walk around more. However, Queen Zhou's behavior seemed safe, but in fact, it was a bit of a cover-up.

Does that mean that Fang Ruxuan's suspicion is justified?
