Nala saw through Xiao Ningzi's thoughts, flicked her nails and said: "Do you think ginseng is a great tonic, and what I am doing will be beneficial to the emperor?"
After Xiao Ningzi acquiesced, she said: "You only know one but not the other. Do you know why there are so many ginseng in the Imperial Pharmacy, and there are quite a lot of old ones, but the emperor only drinks the cheapest ginseng soup?"
When Xiao Ningzi shook his head, Du Juan remembered what he had heard in the Yangxin Hall and said quickly: "I know that the imperial doctor said that the emperor is still ill and his qi and blood are weak. He cannot take ginseng and other tonics. He must
You have to take supplements step by step, so that’s why the master sent the ginseng soup.”
"This is exactly the reason. Although ginseng is a great tonic, it is not suitable to be taken at any time. Once taken incorrectly, the great tonic will turn into a great poison!" After a pause, she continued: "The imperial physician understands this.
The people who serve in the Heart Palace also understand that if you want to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix into a phoenix, you can't do it.
Yes, especially now that Sixi, who has always been cautious, is handling these matters, so that stew pot is needed. Speaking of which, I also suddenly thought of it. I originally thought that if I couldn't buy the stew pot, I would think about something else.
Way, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.”
Xiao Ningzi has completely understood at this moment, "I understand, with that stew pot, although it still looks like ginseng soup, in fact it has become a complete ginseng soup, and it is still two hundred years old."
Vintage ginseng soup.”
"Once the emperor returns to the sea, the imperial doctors will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. If they find out that you have gone to the imperial pharmacy to get ginseng, or that the ginseng here in this palace suddenly becomes scarce, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, so I just
I want you to buy ginseng from outside the palace."
Xiao Ningzi admired Nala's idea of using the seemingly harmless ginseng to take Yinzhen's life, but she still had a doubt in her heart, "Master, what should I do with the imperial seal? Without the imperial seal, there is no imperial seal.
It’s just a piece of waste paper.”
Nala sneered: "Do you really think that after Ji Liu changed the stew pot, he has nothing to do with me? You are wrong. This incident will only tie him to me more tightly, and also make him
Listen to me more."
Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi vaguely understood something, but was not sure. He hesitated and said: "Master is saying..."
Nala smiled strangely and said: "When he is accused of murdering the emperor, do you think he still has room to retreat? He can only listen to me."
While Xiao Ningzi kept nodding, Nala's eyes fell on the pale Dujuan, "Dujuan, how many years have you been following me?"
Du Juan said tremblingly: "If you go back to the master, including the days of serving in the outer hall, this slave has been with the master for eight years."
"Eight years... is not a short time. It is said that there is no banquet in life that lasts forever. I don't know when this banquet between me and you will end." As soon as Nala finished speaking, Du Juan immediately knelt down and led him.
He cried and said: "Master, spare your life. I swear that I will never betray my master, let alone tell my master's plan. I beg you, master, not to kill this slave."
Murderous intent flashed through Nala's eyes, and then he said gently: "You silly girl, what are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to kill you? You have helped me a lot over the years. I
How can I not believe you? It’s just that this matter is of great importance. Once you leave this door, you must not say a word. Even Sun Mo can’t say more. Do you understand? "
"My slave understands." Du Juan agreed hastily, and after she went out, Nala told Xiao Ningzi: "Although Du Juan is unlikely to betray me, you should keep an eye on this matter... I
I don’t want anything to go wrong.”
"Save it for me, slaves." Although there are many people in Kunning Palace, and there are many people who rely on the Nala family, the only one who can completely gain her trust is Xiao Ningzi.
Let's say that after Ji Liu left Kunning Palace with the stew pot, he immediately went to find He An, the young eunuch who often gambled with him. He An was about to go out, and when he saw him coming in, he was surprised and said: "Hey, why are you here?
, don’t tell me you’re here to ask for the five taels of silver.” He was very familiar with Ji Liu, and naturally he spoke more casually than ordinary people.
Ji Liu waved his hand and said: "Look what you said, with our relationship, would I beg for five taels of silver? Besides, you helped me a lot when I was in trouble. This time, if you don't have enough money,
If it's convenient, I'll just return the five taels of silver."
When he heard that he didn't have to pay back the money, He An said happily: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so generous Ji Liu. Thank you so much."
Ji Liu smiled and said: "Thank you, among so many people, I have a good relationship with you. If I don't help you, who else can I help? If you are short of money in the future, just tell me, I can always help."
He An looked at Ji Liu and said mysteriously: "Tell me honestly, have you made a fortune during this period? Not only did you have the money to pay off your previous debts, but you were also so generous."
Ji Liu put the stew pot he had been holding on the table and said, "To tell you the truth, I did make a little fortune, but not much. In addition, I have one more thing to trouble you."
He An patted his chest and said, "Which of us is following the other? If you have any questions, just ask. As long as we can do anything we can, we will definitely help!" Ji Liu had just forgiven his gambling debt, so of course he had to be extremely polite.
Ji Liu squinted his eyes and said, "I heard that the emperor has been letting the imperial kitchen stew ginseng soup for the past two days?"
He An responded: "Yes, Eunuch Xi personally came to give the order, but it's strange that there are so many high-quality ginseng in the imperial pharmacy that are not used, but only some ginseng roots are stewed."
Ji Liu told the lie he had made up, "It's like this. I met a distant relative a few days ago who has quite a lot of money. It was because of his guidance that I made a small fortune. He said he wanted to get a palace
The things inside should preferably be used by the emperor so that they can be used as family heirlooms. Let me help you think of a solution."
He An's eyes widened and he said: "Ji Liu, your relative is really thoughtful. He actually wants things from the palace. Those are forbidden items. If you want to get them out of the palace, let alone us, you are happy."
It's not necessarily okay to do what my father-in-law did, so you'd better advise your relatives to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Ji Liu said with difficulty: "I told him, but he insisted on me helping him. He also said that after the matter is completed, he will give me five hundred taels of silver as a reward. This kind of kindness plus money, do you think I can push it?
?”
He An rubbed his beardless chin and said: "It is indeed a bit difficult, but there is really nothing we can do about this kind of thing. Although you are sweeping in the Yangxin Hall, if you are found with something, you will be beheaded.
.Although money is good, it still needs life flowers."
