Chapter 171 Cold Food ([-])

The streamer gauze curtains and curtains in the hall float with the wind, layers upon layers of glistening like shimmering water.

Wan Lai sighed briefly, and sneered, "I'm in such a good mood to treat her, and I can act as if nothing happened after losing a child, so it's because of this thought." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Changqing: "Go on. "

"The cold food powder is also known as the five stone powder. The prescription has a long history and has existed since ancient times. It is the five flavors of 'cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zengqing, and cishi', or 'stalactite, sulfur, white quartz, amethyst, and red stone'. It is refined from five flavors. Since King Qin Yingzheng sought longevity medicine, there have been warlocks refining this pill and offering it. During Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Shaojun, a alchemist who believed in alchemy, also took this medicine. This medicine is dry and hot, and after taking it It makes people feel hot all over the body, and can produce a short-term medicinal effect that confuses people. If it is taken in a small amount for a long time, it will produce the miraculous effect that the empress said. "

After hearing the prescription needed to make Hanshi Powder, Wanyu couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive: "This prescription uses poison, how can it be called medicine?"

Bai Changqing nodded and smiled faintly: "People often say that poison is poison, so how can it not be considered as medicine? But this medicine is quite poisonous, and if you take it for a long time, you will be poisoned and die."

Wan Lai recalled that when she heard the empress's movements during the day, she saw that the empress was also sweating profusely due to heat, which was very similar to the symptoms of taking this medicine.However, there are imperial physicians entering the palace every day to check the queen's pulse, how can it be impossible to detect the queen's signs of poisoning?
Suspicious in her heart, she continued to ask: "This cold food powder is highly poisonous, it should be detected by the doctor after taking it, but if the doctor can't detect traces of using this medicine in the body, what's the answer?"

"Your Majesty's words are not entirely true." Bai Changqing's face darkened slightly: "This medicine volatilizes very quickly in the body, and it needs to be taken in large quantities for a long time to leave traces in the body. Pulse, I am afraid it is extremely difficult to detect."

"What a meticulous workmanship." Wanyu sighed secretly, then raised her hands and ordered Bai Changqing to step back.

Yun Chan stirred the sweet-scented osmanthus and white fungus soup on the table with a jade spoon, looked at Wan Lai who seemed to have a layer of frost on her face, and said, "Madam, this sweet soup is cold, my maidservant will go and replace it with a bowl for you. "

"You and I don't have much appetite, so don't worry about it." Wan Yu said lightly, "You inquire in private, what is the process of the medicine sent to the Queen's Palace by the Imperial Hospital in the past few days? When I greet you today, I will Look at Yunshan bringing in the medicine."

"Just now, what did the empress suspect about what the doctor Bai said?"

"Who knows." Wanyu lightly tapped the pear wood on the table with her fingers, and pondered for a moment: "As soon as the emperor left the palace, all these troubles occurred in the harem. You saw how Yunshan treated me in the past. Now it's not impossible for her to poison the Queen's decoction."

Wan Lai told Concubine Yi about this, and Concubine Yi told her not to act rashly, and to make plans after she found evidence.

After returning to the palace later, Yun Chan entered the room with a secretive face, and whispered in a low voice: "Madam, people from the Tai Hospital said that Yun Chang went to the Tai Hospital to get medicine in the past ten days or so, and only waited for the test to be non-toxic." Send it all the way to the empress's palace."

While talking, Xi Wei was summoned to enter, and when she saw Wan Yu, she warmly greeted her: "Your Majesty has always been lethargic these days, and the concubine came to the palace to look for her several times, but she didn't bump into her."

Wan Lai smiled slightly, ordered Xi Wei to take a seat, and served her a freshly made green tea with Yun Chan: "I know what you're thinking, and you're refreshed after you've been free today, so I hurriedly called you over." After a pause, his eyes were fixed on Xi Yan's face: "How are you doing recently? You were also quite frightened when you heard that Yanxi Palace was haunted that day."

Xi Wei's expression suddenly became awkward, she looked around the hall in a little panic, and then murmured: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, that thing is very fierce."

Wan Lai looked Xi Ye up and down, and said calmly: "It's self-destructive, it has nothing to do with me, and it's not like I did something outrageous."

Xi Yu made up her mind, nodded awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is very true, but after all, the concubine is a person who has had a miscarriage. This ghost is also related to the emperor's heir, so I feel a little empty in my heart."

"It was Concubine Hui who harmed your child. Now that she has subdued the law, why are you so frightened?"

"It's not just a concubine, Yun Changzai was the first to see those filthy things, and she was quite frightened. She runs to the Queen's Palace every day, and the empress thinks that she really wants to serve the Queen?" Xi Wei sneered to herself. : "It's just that there are the most objects to ward off evil spirits in the Queen's Palace, and because the guards on the third and outer floors are more yang-like, they just want to seek good luck and avoid evil for themselves. Her side hall is brightly lit every night, and she wants to live It's not easy either."

Wan Yu was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Did you see that dirty thing with your own eyes?"

Xi Yan nodded fiercely with firm eyes: "Although it's just a shadow, the cry of the baby is very real, and the person disappeared in a blink of an eye. If it wasn't for ghosts, it really wouldn't make sense. Think about it, my lady, if it wasn't for real How could the queen be so frightened by this matter?"

Because of Xi Ye's words, Wan Lai felt a cloud of suspicion in her heart.

If Yun Shan was playing tricks on this matter, she should have been the only one who had seen it, so why was Li Xiyi so sure?

In the early morning of the next day, Wan Lai, Yun Chan, and Li Yin were waiting on the long street outside the imperial hospital. Not long after, they saw Yun Shan and Ying Que, two masters and servants, heading towards Kunning Palace with medicine urns in their hands.

Wannai met the two of them face to face, and Yun Shanben was about to leave as soon as she was blessed, but she softly called her back: "Yun Chang is here, you take good care of the queen every day, I think if she recovers in the future, you should be here A few good words for you in front of the emperor, if you are lucky enough to be promoted to the position of nobleman, it can be regarded as a glorious lintel."

Yunshan knew that Wanyu was deliberately looking for trouble, she knew that arguing with Wanyu would not bring good results, so she smiled and bowed her body and promised: "What the lady Wanyu said is, if so, it can be considered the blessing of a concubine. "

After saying this, she left in a hurry with Ying Que, but Yun Chan stretched out her arms and stopped in front of the two of them.Yunshan glanced at her, and said with a look of hesitation: "You are a lowly servant girl, how dare you block my way? Get out of the way!"

Yun Chan didn't get angry, but instead smiled lightly: "The servant has served the concubine Wan's order, so I can stop Yun Changzai and let you stay for a while before going to Kunning Palace."

"Is there any reason for that?" Yunshan snorted, looked back at Wanyu who was smiling at her, and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Madam Wan? Since you know that this medicine is going to be sent to the palace of the Empress, you If you stop me like this and delay the time to take the medicine, what should I do?"

Wan Yu walked towards her with strides, reaching out her hand to lift the lid of the medicine urn.Yunshan was startled suddenly, pressed Wanyu's hand, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is medicine for Empress Empress, what are you going to do?"

Wanlu held Yunshan's wrist, threw her hand aside, raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "There must be no mistakes or omissions in the things sent to the Queen's Palace. I am thinking of the Queen in my heart. Since we met, naturally We should test the medicine for her personally to show our respect."
