Imperial Physician Deng took the purple clay pot he used to brew Tieguanyin and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Fang. Although Zhao Fang was just a slave, he held the position of the general manager of the imperial pharmacy, and he was also well-ranked in terms of status.
He would be much lower than the imperial doctors like them. What's more, any slave who has climbed to this level is closely related to the empresses and masters in the harem, and they cannot be neglected.
Zhao Fang took the tea cup, which was also made of purple sand, took a sip and praised: "It has a delicate fragrance and elegant charm, and a long aftertaste. After drinking it last time at Dr. Deng's place, I will never forget it."
"If your father-in-law likes it, you can come and drink it every day." After saying this, Doctor Deng asked: "My father-in-law, why do you feel uncomfortable when you come today?"
"My body is quite strong, and I don't have any serious problems. I only have minor ailments and pains occasionally when the sky is cloudy and windy. I came here to ask some of the imperial doctors whether they have used them in the past few days.
Tripterygium vine?”
"Thunder Kung-Wine?" Dr. Deng repeated strangely. As a doctor, he certainly knew what Tripterygium wilfordii was, but this medicine was rarely used because it was too toxic. "Why did Eunuch Zhao suddenly ask like this?
"
Zhao Fang smacked his lips and said: "This morning, when the old slave led the group of boys to order medicinal materials as usual, he found that there were five less Tripterygium wilfordii than what was recorded in the book. Although this Tripterygium wilfordii is not a valuable medicinal material.
, not many are used in a year. But Imperial Physician Deng also knows about Lao Nu’s side.
The situation, the input and output of all medicinal materials must be clearly recorded, and there must be no deviation. If there is even the slightest mistake, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should come to the old slave to question him. As a last resort, the old slave had to ask with a shy face.
, have any of you imperial doctors taken medicine but forgotten to record it?"
"Whoever has nothing to do is going to get that Tripterygium wilfordii. Use other herbs that can be substituted. Otherwise, if you use the wrong amount, big trouble will happen. Eunuch Zhao, could it be that someone under you has misremembered it?"
An imperial doctor spoke up.
Zhao Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if that was the case, but the old slave has checked all the records for this year, and there are no discrepancies. It's just that there are five missing plants for no reason." When he said this, he suddenly thought of it.
What? He said to Rong Yuan, who was a little uneasy: "Mr. Xu, I heard that you and Princess Dunke went to the imperial pharmacy last night. I wonder if you took Tripterygium wilfordii? Or maybe you put it somewhere conveniently?"
Ever since Zhao Fang explained his purpose of coming, Rong Yuan had been feeling inexplicably flustered. When Zhao Fang asked him this question again, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning. He suddenly remembered that Jingxue had opened the drawer of Tripterygium wilfordii last night. At that time, she had taken the
I have one in my hand, could it be that... at that time...
The scroll in Rong Yuan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, the scroll rolled lightly, and the scroll unfolded, revealing the cage painted on the paper.
It turned out that Jingxue never let go from the beginning to the end, so the cage that was originally intended to lock the bright spring scenery finally locked herself tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.
Neither being able to fly into the sky, but also not willing to give up everything and be tied up in a cage like a canary; then there can only be one result...
No! No! He will not allow Jingxue to do this, absolutely not!
He grabbed the doctor Yang from before and said eagerly: "Where is the ceremony for the princess' wedding? Have you left the palace?"
Doctor Yang was puzzled by his question, "How do I know whether the princess has left the palace or not? When I came here just now, it was almost at the Meridian Gate."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yuan didn't care what to say and ran out quickly. He must stop Jingxue before she left the palace. Don't eat Tripterygium vine!
From the imperial hospital to the Meridian Gate, there are countless palaces separated. Running all the way like this is too much for even a martial artist, let alone an imperial physician like Rong Yuan. His body is already exhausted, but he knows very well that as soon as he stops,
I couldn't take another step forward, so I kept holding on to my breath.
When he was approaching the Meridian Gate, he vaguely heard the sound of joy again, and his spirit couldn't help but be shaken. He accelerated his steps a little faster. Finally, after passing through another palace, he saw the wedding ceremony guard, slowly passing through the Meridian Gate.
, the colorful carriage that Jingxue was riding was among them.
"Wait!" Rong Yuan called with a heavy breath, but his voice was too insignificant amidst the deafening joyful sounds of gongs and drums, so no one cared at all and continued walking slowly outside the palace.
Rong Yuan's face changed with anxiety. He shouted loudly and chased after her. He didn't care about the palace maids and eunuchs who were holding the princess's dowry gift. He ran forward with his legs that were already shaking uncontrollably and pulled the gorgeous princess with all his strength.
Caiyu, "Don't go anymore, stop! Stop quickly!"
"Mr. Xu, what are you doing? Let go now, or you won't be able to afford to miss the auspicious occasion of the princess's wedding." Nanny Zhang, who was accompanying Caiyu, recognized Rong Yuan and frowned.
.
Rong Yuan ignored her and just stubbornly held Cai Yu. Because of his appearance, the originally orderly wedding ceremony was a little chaotic. Seeing something was wrong, Granny Zhang had to order people to stop and her eyes changed when she looked at Rong Yuan.
De was extremely displeased and said in a cold voice: "If you don't let go, Doctor Xu, I will have no choice but to inform the emperor. When the time comes, the emperor will punish you, so don't blame me for not reminding you!"
I thought that as long as I was not a crazy person, I would definitely get out of the way when I heard this. Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Xu ran in front of Caiyu, and even boldly opened the golden-red curtain and got in.
Nanny Zhang has never seen such a bold person, who dares to get into the princess's wedding chariot. This... won't this ruin the princess's honor? If this spreads to the ears of the emperor and the concubine, he will certainly be punished.
If she was found guilty, she would also be implicated. She was angry and anxious, and hurriedly ordered people to find out this imperial doctor who could not understand human speech.
Rong Yuan could not care about these things at the moment. There had been no movement in Caiyu since just now. He and Aunt Zhang were standing next to Caiyu. Their voices were not quiet. It was impossible for Jingxue not to hear it, unless she had already heard it.
Something happened.
His life was at stake. He ignored the possible serious consequences and resolutely opened the curtain and entered the palace.
Entering inside, he saw Jingxue in auspicious clothes sitting in a chair with her head covered with a red handkerchief, her hands gently curled up and placed Anran on her knees; when she saw Jingxue sitting upright in the colorful chariot, it was not as she thought.
At that, Rong Yuan let out a long breath. It seemed that he had guessed wrong, and Jingxue did not commit suicide.
At this time, several young eunuchs came in to catch Rong Yuan at Mammy's signal. One of them accidentally slipped when he came up, fell, and fell on Caiyu, causing Caiyu to shake slightly.
This was nothing, but Jingxue, who was originally sitting there, suddenly fell to the side due to the shaking, like a puppet.
