The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 482 Success or failure depends on this move
These days, the emperor's mood can no longer be described as bad.
As the year drew to a close, officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report on their work. The scheming and scheming people often focused on the ownerless harem and made secret plans. Even the maids and eunuchs in charge of various places in the palace received many secret invitations.
Sorting out the many complicated relationships at all levels in the palace was enough to consume a great deal of his energy.
Although the private army's entry into Beijing went smoothly, he now has to consider how to properly settle them. He no longer trusts anyone, so naturally he has to keep an eye on these things personally to feel at ease.
What's more, there are court affairs and neighborly appeasement...
What happened during the day was enough to make him upset, and last night, the "Panshan Yunhai" clepsydra that was originally used to help him sleep had been dripping all night, making a huge noise and making him toss and turn all night long.
When Eunuch Yao called him to get up this morning, he actually gave himself a fright.
The emperor, who was still energetic before going to bed, now had bloodshot eyes and became increasingly listless.
He had a rare temper tantrum early in the morning.
The eunuchs and palace maids who served the emperor closely were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. Eunuch Yao was not much better off. After serving the emperor in court, he went to the Treasure Bureau and flew into a rage, scolding all the craftsmen. They were all trembling with fear.
Sha Cang, the manager of the Treasure Bureau, took advantage of his friendship with Eunuch Yao during their time at his residence and shamelessly asked about the whole story.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "This is a bit tricky."
"What? Even Eunuch Sha is starting to get scared. Are all the 230 people in this treasure bureau useless?" Eunuch Yao cursed with his eyes narrowed.
"How could that be possible..." Sha Cang explained with a smile, "You also know that this 'Panshan Yunhai' clepsydra is a treasure that the Fourth Prince found in the extra-chapter. How can ordinary people see it? Not to mention repairing it... Now this item not only fails to help you sleep, but also disturbs your majesty at night. I think there must be a big problem. Even if it is repaired completely by the Treasure Bureau, it will take a lot of time. I wonder if Eunuch Yao can wait..."
Seeing his slippery appearance, Eunuch Yao suddenly sneered and asked, "What do you think?"
"The Treasure Bureau has found many skilled craftsmen from various places, but it is inconvenient for these common people to enter and leave the palace. It would be easier for them to work outside the palace. Why not send this item out of the palace and let these people repair it together with the craftsmen from the Treasure Bureau?" Sha Cang said with a smile.
His face was covered with fat, and Eunuch Yao stared at him for a long time.
They were all familiar with each other, so Eunuch Yao naturally knew what Shachang meant - if the "Panshan Yunhai" could be repaired, it would naturally be the credit of the Treasure Bureau, but if it could not be repaired... then he would use the lives of the folk craftsmen to force the emperor to settle the matter.
After all, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that the emperor loved his people like his own children. If His Majesty were to vent his anger on the common people over a sleep aid, the reputation that he had built up over the years would be ruined.
In the past, Eunuch Yao would definitely not accept such a petty idea.
But now... the emperor's temper has become more and more erratic. His life seems to be prosperous but in fact he is always worried. Now he has no energy to deal with Shacan's little thoughts.
Anyway, it's not his turn to repair it. If he really angers His Majesty, he can just push Shakang out.
"Forget it. Since this matter is your Treasure Bureau's business, we cannot be an outsider and instruct the insiders. So we will do as you say."
Thus, the task of sending the "Panshan Yunhai" clepsydra out of the palace was accomplished.
However, less than an hour after this item was sent out of the palace, it disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Shakang became incontinent on the spot.
In a medical clinic in one of the eight alleys of the capital, news came today that the doctor was ill and the clinic would be closed for three days.
Mr. Shu, who was ill, was now groping around the "Panshan Yunhai".
"This thing is indeed similar to the legendary 'glazed clean dish'. It uses a hose to drain the blood in the human body in reverse, filters out the toxicity through the blood-drying grass, and then injects it back into the body without polluting the blood vessels in the body... Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Only at this moment did Xu Rongrong feel relieved.
"When can we get treatment?" Today is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and time is running out for them.
Shu Qing pondered for a moment: "The basic principle of this thing is already established, it only needs a little modification... We can start the test at noon tomorrow!"
"Okay." Xu Rongrong let out a long sigh, "Then I'll rely entirely on Mr. Shu."
……
Xu Rongrong did not leave the clinic that day.
Shu Qing was busy modifying the "Panshan Yunhai". He had to draw the drawings and do the modifications, so he had no time to do anything else.
Therefore, the responsibility of studying the dosage of Sanguisorba officinalis fell on Xu Rongrong.
By the time she was exhausted, it was already past midnight.
She had no time to go back to the mansion, so she just took a nap in the narrow chair in the clinic's pharmacy.
The door was opened and then closed; the cold moonlight peeked out for only a moment before being blocked out again.
But there was one more person in the room.
Mu Rong raised his hand and pressed Xu Rongrong's brow with his fingertips.
"Hmm..." The girl moaned, and then fell into a deep sleep comfortably.
Mu Rong leaned over, picked up the girl, let her lie horizontally in his arms, and he sat back in the armchair.
He felt uncomfortable sitting there, but the girl's sleeping position was much more comfortable than before.
Xu Rongrong rubbed her head unconsciously in Mu Rong's arms, and her breathing gradually became steady.
The girl's body was filled with the scent of medicine, slightly bitter but reassuring.
Mu Rong placed a kiss on her forehead.
"You didn't come back all night. I'll punish you severely next time you do it again." He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
A slightly cool breath brushed against her ears. The ticklish Xu Rongrong shrank her neck and leaned deeper into his arms.
After a night, when the morning light shone through the window, Xu Rongrong woke up slowly.
She was still leaning in the narrow armchair, but strangely, she didn't feel any pain in her body.
However, at the moment, she was so focused on detoxification that she did not notice this detail, and the strange feeling in her heart was only fleeting.
As soon as I walked out of the pharmacy, I saw Shu Qing coming towards me.
His hair was a little messier than usual, but he was in high spirits: "It's done!"
His face was filled with an unconcealable smile.
It arrived half a day earlier than originally planned, which surprised Xu Rongrong.
Shu Qing wiped his face. He had just washed it with cold water. He didn't even have time to wipe it off before he came to report: "We can start the experiment in a while!"
Although Xu Rongrong didn't say a word of urging yesterday, he could see her nervousness and urgency.
So he stayed awake all night.
Xu Rongrong also nodded: "I already know the dosage of Sanguisorba officinalis."
He smiled and said, "Success or failure depends on this move today!"
He said it with full confidence, but only he knew...his heart was beating like a drum at this moment.
Today you can only succeed, not fail!
