363 Major discoveries(1/2)
Gu Jiao heard from Eunuch Qin that the relationship between His Majesty and his aunt was originally very close, but later she was gradually alienated.
Eunuch Qin himself couldn't tell which thing started. In short, the two became more and more irritable, and Princess Ning'an was in a dilemma. Later, His Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager ruled from behind the curtain, and sent Concubine Jing to the nunnery, and their relationship was completely shattered.
Seeing Gu Jiao looking thoughtful, Nan Xiang knew what she was thinking.
But she didn't ask for more information.
She likes Gu Xiaoshun and is willing to become a family member with Gu Xiaoshun. She will naturally treat Gu Jiao differently, but she will not really use the airs of an elder to interfere in Gu Jiao’s private affairs.
If Gu Jiao is willing to say, she will listen; if it is inconvenient to express, she will not ask.
Gu Jiao said again: "Master Nan, you just said that this herb is a medicine guide, which means it needs to be used with medicine?"
"Yes, this medicine is very rare among the six kingdoms. It was originally..." Nan Xiang stopped, smiled and said, "It is a kind of drug of the Tang Sect. It is divided into white medicine and black medicine. At first, it was used to control some disobedient people, but later it was banned by the elders of the Tang Sect because of their excessive despicable methods. However, many people in the six kingdoms coveted this prescription and stole it from the Tang Sect."
Tang Sect.
Gu Jiao heard of a new name again.
Nan Xiang continued: "However, even if you have a prescription, it is not so easy to refine the medicine. As far as I know, no doctor or pharmacist in the country can make the power of the prescription."
Gu Jiao asked, "Have Master Nan seen this prescription?"
Nan Xiang sighed and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it before."
Gu Jiao nodded and asked, "So... the white medicine makes people feel good, and the black medicine makes people feel disgusted?"
Nan Xiang said: "That's right."
After living for two lifetimes, she didn't know that there was such medicine in the world. She was ignorant.
Gu Jiao became more and more interested and then asked: "How did you do this? How do you ensure you don't get the wrong partner?"
Nan Xiang laughed gently and said, "As long as you feed it yourself, you will generally not make any mistakes."
If this speculation is true, then Concubine Jing personally fed the emperor to take white medicine, and her aunt personally fed the emperor to take black medicine.
My aunt would definitely not cheat herself like this. At that time, my aunt had not set up defenses on Concubine Jing, so she must have been cheated by Concubine Jing.
Gu Jiao said again: "What's going on with the medicine? Are the medicines of the black medicine and white medicine the same?"
Nan Xiang nodded with a smile: "The medicine is the same. Some people have a firm mind and are not easily influenced by the medicine. At this time, they need medicine to attract the effect. Of course, there is another situation, that is, the medicine is not stable enough after a long time, and the medicine is also needed to attract the effect to deepen the effect. The medicine does not need to be taken, and people can smell it from time to time."
At this point, there is no need to guess who gave this wallet to Eunuch Wei.
Not to mention that Gu Jiao picked up her purse and smelled it. There was a strong sandalwood emitting from her head, which was undoubtedly sent from the nunnery.
Gu Jiao weighed the purse in her hand and said, "Master Nan's nose is so powerful. The smell of sandalwood is so strong that she can smell the medicine inside."
Nan Xiang smiled: "This is the same as your doctor to distinguish medicinal materials."
People are always particularly sensitive to things they are familiar with. If they contain aconite, I believe this little girl can smell it through sandalwood.
Gu Jiao looked at Nan Xiang and said, "It seems that Master Nan is not an ordinary person to recognize this drug."
Nan Xiang smiled and said, "Everyone is the same."
This little girl is not a soft persimmon that you can bully. She has hidden her skills and is unknown to everyone.
Both of them are very smart and tactful. They only care about private matters, which is respect and trust - respecting each other's identities and secrets. At the same time, trusting these secrets will not hurt each other's families and themselves.
From Nanxiang's mouth, Gu Jiao had a new understanding of this time and space. It turned out that there was not only one Turk, but also one Tang Sect outside the six kingdoms.
The Tang Sect lived in seclusion and did not interact with the six kingdoms. People in the Tang Sect were not allowed to leave the Tang Sect for generations, nor could they step into the six kingdoms.
Of course, the most popular science of Nanxiang and Gu Jiao is this medicine. Whether it is black medicine or white medicine, there is no specific antidote. It can only slowly disappear with the passage of time, or it will never disappear.
Gu Jiaoru thoughtfully: "What symptoms will occur when the effect of the medicine disappears?"
Nan Xiang shook his head: "I have never seen the specific ones before. I only heard that there may be backlash, such as... having nightmares."
What Nan Xiang didn't say is that she might be a little mentally insane, but she had never really seen her before, and it might not be necessary that she was talking nonsense to others.
Gu Jiao thought seriously. Eunuch Wei did say that the emperor couldn't sleep a while ago. Is it related to this?
She looked at the dried flowers on the table and said, "Can medicine prevent the effect of the medicine from disappearing?"
"In theory, it's OK, but--" Nan Xiang touched a table of dried flowers, "One or two tablets of ordinary medicine is enough. After using so much, it can only be said that the situation of the person who was drugged is very unstable, and the effect of the medicine is powerless to turn the world. Unless the other party is preparing to give the person another medicine."
"Will it still work next time?" Gu Jiao asked.
Nan Xiang thought carefully: "It should be there, but it's hard to say how much there is."
So Concubine Jing did go to buy medicine yesterday. She planned to give the emperor another medicine, because no matter how effective the medicine is, it will not be worse than now.
Concubine Jing led the emperor to the nunnery for meals last night, probably because she planned to drug him. Unfortunately, Gu Jiao was also present, so Concubine Jing was unable to start.
But Concubine Jing would not give up. Gu Jiao felt that she would find another opportunity to approach the emperor.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first and visit you another day." After sitting for a while, Nan Xiang stood up and said goodbye.
Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun to deliver her and Master Lu to the door.
When he got on the carriage, Master Lu sighed: "Isn't you afraid of revealing your identity when you talk to that girl?"
Nan Xiang didn't care much and said, "What are you afraid of? The generals come to block the water and the soil. Soon she is our son's sister. When something happens, we can't stand by and watch."
Master Lu held her hand and said earnestly: "It's not that I'm selfish, it's that you can put yourself in again. I don't want to have a second time when the royal family disputes are resolved by the royal family. Don't wade into the muddy waters."
Nan Xiang touched the disfigured face through the veil, smiled and said, "I understand."
At night, except for Xiao Jingkong who was captured and taken to the palace, the whole family came back. When Gu Xiaoshun recognized Master Lu and Nan Xiang as his adopted mother, he was happy for him.
The old priest personally cooked a large table of delicious dishes, celebrating Gu Xiaoshun's good life.
Gu Xiaoshun was so embarrassed that he was still confused now, so why did he become the son of his master and his wife?
Gu Yan looked at the food that was almost impossible to pile up in his bowl and said seriously: "Look, I'm right, my master's wife just likes you."
Gu Xiaoshun: “…”
Does this mean you?
After dinner, Yuyaer took the bowls and chopsticks to the backyard, and everyone started to do their own things.
Gu Yan went to help Xiao Jingkong to help him run away. He should have been before dinner, but he was procrastinating and went out only after dark.
Gu Xiaoshun went to dress up his wood, Xiao Liulang went back to the study, and Gu Jiao watered the vegetable garden in the front yard.
Yao came over: "Jiaojiao."
"Hmm?" Gu Jiao looked at Yao while watering.
Yao was holding a box in his hand, looking a little nervous and nervous: "Jiaojiao, come here."
"Okay." Gu Jiao put down the kettle and came to the stone table. Yao had already sat down on a stone bench, so Gu Jiao sat next to her.
Yao put the box in his arms on the table and gently pushed it in front of Gu Jiao.
"What is this?" Gu Jiao asked strangely.
Yao's eyes looked forward to it: "You open it and take a look."
Gu Jiao raised her hand and opened the box, and found that it was full of jewelry, exquisite and excellent in color.
"This is..." Gu Jiao didn't understand Yao's intention.
Yao calmed down and plucked up the courage to pull Gu Jiao's hand and said, "It's for you."
"Why?" Gu Jiao asked.
Today is not a big day, why give her so much jewelry?
Yao lowered his head and pinched the veil, saying, "I have wanted to give it to you for a long time, and I have been worried that you don't want it."
These are not very expensive jewelry. Although the quality is good, they were all given to her by her grandmother before she got married. I don’t know how many years have passed, and the styles have become old.
She didn't really have a shabby life, but the jewelry she bought outside was not as meaningful as the one she gave her.
But she felt it was meaningful, and she didn't know if her daughter would like it.
Furthermore, except for making a few clothes for her daughter every month, she doesn’t want any daughters like money.
Gu Jiao didn't say anything.
Yao thought she wanted to refuse, so she hurriedly said, "No, it's not worth much! They are all old jewelry!"
This is not valuable, so what is valuable?
Gu Jiao didn't know much about ancient styles, but she still knew gold. She sold all the boxes of gold jewelry to buy a small house in the capital.
Gu Jiao whispered: "It's very old..."
Yao: "Or, it's not very old!"
Oh, what is she talking about?
It's too valuable, I'm worried that she won't accept it; it's too valuable, and it seems that the gift is not worth enough.
Yao has never been so entangled and troubled.
Gu Jiao curled her lips and smiled: "It looks good, I like it very much."
Is this... agreed to accept it?
