Chapter 632: The Special Feature of Flying Star Grass
"Ahem...can you make it into pills?" the Supreme Emperor asked.
"You can have this." Mingruo nodded.
"Can it not be bitter?" the Supreme Emperor continued to ask.
Si Haochen rolled his eyes: "You'd better drink the decoction, the medicine is more effective."
"Gu is afraid that bad people may tamper with the medicine in Gu's medicine. The medicinal materials are so crumbly that even Gu and Xiao Haizi don't recognize them." The Supreme Emperor said, "I won't take the medicine." He was definitely not afraid of hardship.
"Okay, I'll make the pills and bring them to you." Mingruo covered her lips and smiled softly.
"Well, the little girl is more sensible than the brat." The Supreme Emperor tilted his head and said to Mr. Hai, "Bring some of the glazed yarn and ice crystal jade that Nanling paid tribute to, and cut clothes and make jewelry for the girl."
"Hey." Eunuch Hai took the young eunuch and went to the warehouse to get the good things.
"You can play by yourselves, I need to rest for a while." The Supreme Emperor walked towards the bedroom with his hands behind his back.
"No more fishing?" Si Haochen asked with a smile.
"Every time I catch fish, I don't sleep well at night..." The Supreme Emperor said leisurely.
"..." Si Haochen shook his head, could there be a causal relationship?
As a doctor, Mingruo would think carefully about the information mentioned by his patients: "Take me to the place where the Supreme Emperor fishes."
"Okay." Si Haochen led his wife to the back garden.
The Supreme Emperor also wanted to see what this little girl could discover, so he followed the two of them to the back garden.
"This is it." Si Haochen led Mingruo to the pond.
Because the Emperor liked fishing, he specially built a pergola by the pond, with a low table and small cushioned chairs placed inside.
Mingruo went into the pergola and took a look, but there was nothing suspicious. Just as he was about to leave, he discovered an 'orchid' in the flowerbed that was particularly different. All the orchids were planted in the flowerbed, but only this one was blooming lightly.
Blue flowers.
Mingruo walked to the orchid and squatted down, picked up some anthers with her fingers, brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.
"Princess, do you like this Suxinlan? I will put it in a flowerpot for you and take it back." Eunuch Hai continued, "This flower is quite strong and has been blooming for a long time."
"This is not Suxinlan." Mingruo took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "but it is flying star grass. It looks very similar to an orchid. If you look closely, you will find that there are some small spots on the leaves, which look like broken stars.
.”
Grandpa Hai picked up the leaves and looked at them. They were indeed different from the leaves of other orchids in the flower garden.
"Then what's so special about this Flying Star Grass?" The Supreme Emperor's eyes were deep. If I remember correctly, this orchid was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was previously placed in the bedroom. When Xiao Haizi was picking up something, he accidentally brought it with him.
It was planted on the ground and then planted here.
"Flying star grass is also a relatively rare flower. Growing it indoors can make the air fresher." Mingruo changed the topic, "If it is placed in a room that is smoked with ambergris, it will accelerate the heart rate and make people unable to sleep peacefully."
Si Haochen and Eunuch Hai looked at the Supreme Emperor at the same time. The Emperor's clothes and bedding were all scented with ambergris. It would be strange if he could sleep well if he stayed with this flying star grass.
Eunuch Hai carefully thought about it, and found that the days when the Supreme Emperor suffered from insomnia coincided with the days spent in the bedroom. Moreover, most of the doors and windows were closed when sleeping at night, so the effect must be more obvious.
"Old slave, let's get rid of it now." Eunuch Hai used a flower hoe to throw out the flying star grass and said with resentment, "I kindly planted you here, but I didn't expect it to be a big poisonous weed!"
Si Haochen heard something strange: "Where was this flower grown before?"
"During the Flower Festival, the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased potted flowers everywhere. Before we even returned to the palace, the flowers were placed in the bedroom.
Later, the flowerpot was broken, and the old slave saw that it bloomed well, so he planted it here. Unexpectedly..." Eunuch Hai has been in the palace for most of his life, and he feels that he is already very cautious. He doesn't want to fall into the trap - this is really
Hard to guard against.
Mingruo somewhat understood why the Supreme Emperor didn't like to stay in the imperial capital - this step was a trap, and the person who cheated him was either his son or his grandson. Who wouldn't be upset when such a thing happened?
Si Haochen saw that the Emperor's expression was not good, so he could only feel relieved: "Fortunately, I made a flower pot and moved it out of the bedroom early, otherwise you would have had those dark circles under your eyes.
I'll let Ruo'er take a good look around your place and check you out by the way."
"That's a good idea. I'll show you the way to the princess. Let's first go to the place where the Supreme Emperor often hangs out." Eunuch Hai now feels that something is wrong in Kuntai Palace, so it would be better to let Prince Yun and Princess Yun take a look.
"My father-in-law, please lead the way." Mingruo felt that it was not easy to live in the palace.
Mingruo walked around the Kuntai Hall and found no major problems, but he pointed out a few minor problems.
"It's best not to use incense in the dormitory. Elderly people's trachea is not in good condition. Spices and smoke can easily irritate the trachea. If you want to make the room smell better, you can put some fruits with stronger smell." Kuntai Palace is very happy.
It's so big, it's quite tiring to walk around.
"Old slave, I've written it down." Eunuch Hai quickly responded.
"Okay, this is the place where Gu Chang stays. There is no need to look elsewhere." The Supreme Emperor asked again, "Is lunch ready?"
"It's been prepared. I'll pass on the food right now." Eunuch Hai said and went down.
Si Haochen glanced at the Emperor who was in a bad mood: "I'm back anyway, you can go out and walk around if you want."
"Do you think you're safe outside?" The Supreme Emperor snorted, "I've encountered many more assassinations than you think!"
"Haven't you heard, 'It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow'?" Si Haochen first poured tea for his wife, and then took a sip himself.
"There's constant action over Beichi, and you might be sent to the army one day. It's more convenient for me to stay in the imperial capital." The Supreme Emperor looked out the window, "When the Yunmeng Dynasty returns to its heyday, I'll find a valley to live in.
, it should be very pleasant to bask in the sun and fish every day... The valley you are working on is very nice..."
"Build the place where you want to retire by yourself. Don't bother with my valley. That's where Ruo'er and I will retire." Si Haochen refused immediately before the Emperor could finish his words.
"How old are you before you have to retire?" The Supreme Emperor's eyes were as wide as bells.
"I can take care of myself whenever I want." Seeing the food on the table, Si Haochen peeled two shrimps for Mingruo and started to open the crabs again.
"You kid, don't you know how to respect your elders?" The Emperor's beard curled up and down.
"It's enough if you understand 'loving children'." Si Haochen retorted.
Ming Ruo looked at the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Si Haochen, and found it actually quite warm. Only in front of the Supreme Emperor, Si Haochen would talk back and act shamelessly, like a spoiled child...
The two of them had lunch at Kuntai Hall, and then returned home with some glazed yarn and ice crystal jade that the Supreme Emperor had rewarded.
