late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 21
"who!"

I let out a low growl in panic, but my mouth was quickly blocked.

"It's me! Six forehead concubine, Jing Shou!"

Jing Shou whispered in my ear before letting go of my mouth.

The name Jing Shou is not unfamiliar to me. He is the only one among the eight ministers of Gu Ming who has a good death.

"Master Tang, how is the Queen Mother doing now?"

Jing Shou straightened his clothes and looked at me with a helpless expression.

"The Empress Dowager listens to the Analects of Confucius every day, and her life is fairly quiet."

I answered vaguely, after all, I haven't made it clear whether this person is an enemy or a friend.

"Master Tang, please tell the Queen Mother that Sushun and the others intend to rebel, just after Emperor Zigong of Daxing sent them back to the capital."

Jing Shou threw me such a sentence, and then hurried away, he should be afraid of being seen by Sushun's people.

When I heard the news that Sushun wanted to rebel, my mind calmed down because I knew that Sushun would never return to Beijing and would be arrested on the way, probably in Miyun.

I sat idle in the deer yard for a while, then got up and went to the direction of Tai Hospital. Although Mei Shuang's injury was not life-threatening, it must be very serious.

"Hey, Mr. Tang, why do you have the time to come to the Imperial Hospital?" The accompanying Imperial Physician Hu cupped his hands towards me and said politely.

"Let me see if we have badger seed oil here, which is specially used to treat burns."

I looked around and found that the heartbroken grass was placed on the table.

I didn't know this kind of herb at first, but after watching The Legend of Condor Heroes, I specifically researched this kind of medicine called Broken Heart Grass.

Heartbroken grass is an extremely poisonous herb. Under normal circumstances, doctors would not use this kind of thing to prescribe medicine.

Then, thinking about it this way, there is only one use of this Heartbroken Grass, and that is to kill people!
"Master Tang is a passionate person, hehe..."

Doctor Hu smiled tacitly, then went to the inner room, took a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to me.

"Master Tang is really lucky, there is only one bottle left, you can take it."

"Thank you."

I arched my hands towards Imperial Physician Hu, then pointed to the heartbroken grass on the table, and asked, "Is Imperial Physician Hu preparing a new prescription?"

A look of uneasiness flashed across Imperial Physician Hu's face, but then he returned to normal.

"Let's have nothing to do, let's study new medicinal properties."

He is lying!

Who would have nothing to do to study the properties of poison, and still be so evasive.

Who are they trying to kill? !
What secrets are there in this summer resort!
I took the badger seed oil and went back to Lan'er's residence. Instead of looking for Lan'er, I went to Meishuang's room.

"grown ups……"

Mei Shuang called me weakly, and made a gesture to get up.

I took a few steps and grabbed her shoulders.

"It's all hurt like this, just lie down and rest, don't move around!"

Although I was scolding her with my mouth, the concern in my tone couldn't be concealed.

"My lord, thanks to the Queen Mother this time, the servants will definitely not act recklessly in the future."

Mei Shuang blamed herself and lowered her head, not daring to look up at me.

"Okay, don't mention the past, I found badger seed oil, you should apply it quickly."

I helped Mei Shuang to sit up, and helped her take off the clothes on her left arm.

When her skin was exposed, I suddenly stopped breathing. Her left arm, which had been injured by the knife, was now bloody and bloody, looking very hideous.

"I'll help you apply this badger seed oil, it will probably be much better tomorrow."

I took a deep breath, and gently applied the badger seed oil in the white porcelain bottle to Meishuang's wound.

"My lord, where did you find such a rare thing? I heard from the old man that this badger seed oil is a holy product for treating burns."

Mei Shuang chatted with me pretending to be relaxed, I knew that she must be enduring the pain at the moment, she didn't want me to worry.

"There just happened to be such a small bottle left in the hospital, so I brought it over."

I replied with some regret, but my eyes couldn't bear to look at her wound again.

It's really pitiful for a good little girl to be harmed like this.

"All right."

I put the white porcelain bottle on the table beside me, and then helped Mei Shuang to lie back on the bed.

"Thank you, my lord."

With tears in the corners of Mei Shuang's eyes, she was so moved.

"It's good for you to heal your wounds. Fortunately, the weather has turned cold now, otherwise there will be festering!"

I pretended to be angry and said a few words to Mei Shuang, then walked towards the door, when I reached the door, I stopped again.

"I'll send a girl to take care of you in a while, don't think too much, get well soon."

After I finished speaking, I left without looking back. However, although I didn't look back, I heard Mei Shuang's low cry.

I left Mei Shuang's room and went to find Lan'er.

When I entered her room, she was holding a book and studying it carefully. At first glance, she looked like a noble lady with her own affairs.

"Laner."

I stood two meters away from her and called her softly.

"Why, have you finished what you should do?" Lan'er put away the book and looked up at me expressionlessly.

It seemed that she was still angry about what happened in the morning.

"You go down first."

I gave instructions to the little maid next to me, and then sat on the chair closest to Lan'er, and waited for everyone to back out before I opened my mouth slowly.

"Sushun wants to rebel."

Lan'er's hand, which was holding the teacup, shook slightly, but she soon regained her composure.

"How did you know."

"Six forehead said, he asked me to tell you, be careful."

"Jing Shou?! What else did he say?"

"Sushun is going to rebel when the former emperor Zi Palace returns to the capital."

"It seems that the plan is about to change."

Lan'er muttered something in a low voice, then pinched her hands and counted the days.

"According to the calculations, the Sixth Prince should be arriving in Rehe soon. When he arrives, we will discuss it in the long run."

The sixth prince that Lan'er was talking about was Prince Gong, and Sushun and the others called him Guizi Liu.

"Alright, but you should be more careful with your diet recently."

"Why, what else do you know?"

"I saw heartbroken grass in Tai Hospital, which is an extremely poisonous herb."

Lan'er was silent for a moment, and then sighed leisurely.

"When the late emperor was still there, Sushun once advised the late emperor to follow Mrs. Gou Yi's example and kill the mother and keep the son. However, the late emperor thought of his friendship with me, so he didn't have the heart to kill him."

I know this story, but it's still a bit embarrassing to hear the person tell it now.

"By the way, Lan'er, besides the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Sushun, are there any powerful people in this palace?"
