Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 102 News from Concubine Chen
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was at its hottest, and the guards at the entrance of the Xianya Palace were too hot and impatient, so they relaxed their vigilance.

Just like yesterday, Zhiqiu came to Tai Hospital with Shang Kelan in makeup.

After several hours of sleep and rest, although Shang Kelan's eyes were still bloodshot, she seemed to be in a good mental state after all.

It's just that what the two of them didn't notice was that since they left Xianya Palace, there had been a small tail following them, but that person's footsteps were very light, so it would not be noticeable.

In this vicious weather, no one in the other palaces wants to move. Only the people in the Tai Hospital are still busy. His Majesty has issued a death order before. If they cannot find a cure for the plague, all of them will be killed. All the black hats of imperial physicians are removed!
Therefore, during the busy time, no one would talk to Zhiqiu and Shang Kelan, the two little maids.

Shang Kelan said to Zhiqiu: "You continue to go to the pharmacy to make your pills, and I will do my experiments, so you don't have to worry about me. We will meet up in the library at five o'clock."

Zhiqiu nodded, looked at her worriedly, and said, "Okay, empress, be careful."

In this way, the two split up.

Just as she opened the door and entered Li Chenxiu's pharmacy, a clear and sweet voice sounded from behind her: "You entered my pharmacy but were so sneaky, those who didn't know thought I had some affair with you."

Shang Kelan blushed slightly, and gave him an annoyed look: "Stop talking, how is the little white mouse I treated yesterday?"

Li Chenxiu glanced at Shang Kelan in front of him. He was still dressed in the same clothes as yesterday. He was also sweating profusely. It seemed that his whole face was red from the sun after rushing over in the sun.

But her eyes seemed to be full of light, very pure and charming, it reminded Li Chenxiu of the days when he first met Concubine Ning.

After a brief moment of daze, he shook his head, lifted the curtain on the table, revealed the stiff little white mouse inside and said, "It's dead."

As he said that, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and added: "When you gave it an injection yesterday, it died."

Shang Kelan was speechless for a moment.

There was silence in the air, and after a long while, Shang Kelan pulled down the curtain a little embarrassingly, raised the cage containing the mice and said, "Forget it, I'd better get rid of it."

It's just that the look of disappointment on her face couldn't be concealed, and there was still some sadness in her eyes: with her little means, how could she save her father?

Li Chenxiu took the little white mouse in her hand and threw it into the alchemy furnace in the room. In an instant, the fire in the alchemy furnace devoured its body.

Shang Kelan was startled, and looked at him in surprise: "Why did you throw it into the alchemy furnace?"

"Don't worry, this pill furnace is not for refining medicine, I have always used it as a failed incineration product."

Li Chenxiu said lightly, then gave Shang Kelan some prescriptions, and said: "You first find out these medicinal materials, and then boil three bowls of water into one bowl. The color of the soup must be black, pure black, if the bitterness If there is a little sweet taste, it means that the medicine is cooked."

Shang Kelan half understood: "What is this medicine for?"

"The cure for the plague."

In just five words, Shang Kelan was shocked. Immediately, Shang Kelan looked at him happily: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

As she spoke, she came to the medicine stove and used the pottery pot on it to fry the medicine.

And Li Chenxiu looked at her working hard, smiled, then turned around and picked up a pen to write something.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, Shang Kelan gasped, Li Chenxiu looked up, and saw Shang Kelan enduring the pain, sucking his finger that was burned by the fire, tears welled up in his eyes, but he insisted He held it back, and decocted it as if nothing had happened.

Even Li Chenxiu didn't realize it, a smile slowly formed on his lips.

At this time, outside the window.

After seeing everything in his eyes, he sneered, turned around and walked towards the East Palace.

Youshi, Ximeng Palace.

Zhao Kehan ​​was sitting in front of the table of the Eight Immortals, surrounded by maidservants holding all kinds of luxurious and beautiful decorations, and Zhao Kehan ​​was currently worrying a lot about organizing the Hungry Ghost Festival.

In order for Jin Yantang to see her hard work as soon as he came in, Zhao Kehan ​​was unwilling to leave this matter to others.

At this time, a palace maid came in hurriedly, and reported respectfully: "I want to report to your empress, there is news about Concubine Chen!"

Knowing that Shang Kelan is deeply loved by His Majesty, Zhao Kehan ​​kept people watching Shang Kelan closely.

After hearing what the servant girl said, she put down the account book in her hand, raised her eyes and stared at her tightly and said, "What's the news? Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, this servant followed Concubine Chen today, and found that she was dressed as a court lady and sneaked into the Imperial Hospital, and mixed with Li Imperial Doctor of the Imperial Hospital. The two were talking and laughing, and they looked very close!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kehan ​​was overjoyed, and immediately got up and came to her and asked forcefully, "Are you serious?"

"Returning to the empress, the servants will never dare to tell half a lie!"

The palace maid hurriedly raised her head and looked at Zhao Kehan ​​seriously. Seeing this, Zhao Kehan ​​laughed twice and said, "That's great, that's great, God is helping me!"

Afterwards, she calmed down again, looked at the people in the palace and said, "You must not leak any news about what happened today. If anyone dares to spread the word, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes, madam!"

Immediately, these palace maids hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted again, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible.

At this time, the maidservant outside came to report: "I want to report to your empress, Concubine Hua is asking to see you."

Zhao Kehan ​​raised his eyebrows, straightened his bun, and said indifferently, "What is she doing here?"

Said, Hongxiu stepped forward to support her, and the two went to the main hall of Ximeng Palace one after the other.

In the main hall, Concubine Hua brought a gift, and when she saw Zhao Kehan, she asked Yue'er to present the gift to her, and said with a smile: "Concubine Jia, I got some high-quality ice seeds from home a few days ago. The white jade bracelet, so I came here to bring it to you, it has the effect of relieving heat and cooling down, and it is a rare piece of cold jade."

Hearing her bragging about being so miraculous, Zhao Kehan ​​opened the gift box and took a look. After seeing two white jade ice seed bracelets inside, she smiled slightly, closed the lid, and said to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua, you are welcome. Come here, but what's the matter?"

As she said that, she glanced at Hongxiu, and Hongxiu hurriedly brought iced melons and fruits to Concubine Hua.

After Concubine Hua ate a piece of watermelon, she pressed the corners of her lips with a scented handkerchief, and said with a smile to Zhao Kehan: "To be honest, I brought good news this time, but this person has too many eyes, so I'm afraid it's hard to tell." come out……"

As she spoke, she glanced at the maids around her, and immediately, Zhao Kehan ​​waved to them, and these people retreated one by one.

Afterwards, Concubine Hua looked at Zhao Kehan ​​excitedly and said: "Today, when the servant girl of the Palace was going to get medicine from the imperial hospital, I saw Zhiqiu from Xianya Palace talking to a little maid, so she leaned over to make a sound. Thinking that the palace maid was actually Concubine Chen in disguise, and Concubine Chen and Imperial Physician Li were in the same room, the words were so ambiguous!"
