Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 162: Chengni Twin Inkstones
Hai Lan sat at the head of the table, expressionless, and said calmly, "Yanxi Palace is remote, it's hard for you to come all the way here so late at night."
Concubine Cheng was unsure of Hai Lan's temperament, so she smiled modestly and said, "I am grateful for Concubine Yu's kindness, so I will certainly come here no matter how far I have come."
Since Concubine Cheng spoke sincerely, Hai Lan naturally didn't say much.
The two chatted for a while, and then Concubine Cheng raised her hand to signal Yancao to bring a tray covered with a red cloth. The red cloth was opened, revealing an orange-yellow gourd-shaped inkstone.
Hailan had never seen an inkstone of this color before, and there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Concubine Cheng did not take it lightly, and smiled lightly, "This is something I brought from home, it is a clay inkstone produced in Jiangzhou.
Although it is not as good as the Songhua stone inkstone used by the emperor, it is also a rare treasure.
However, the most valuable thing is not the material of the inkstone, but the meaning. This is actually a pair of twin inkstones.
The other inkstone was sent to Yikun Palace earlier and presented to the fourth prince of the Imperial Noble Consort. This one was specially presented to the fifth prince by the concubine.
The two princes are both intelligent and studious, and their brotherly relationship is praised by the emperor himself as "the same jade as jade".
This twin inkstone is a perfect gift for the two princes."
These words really touched Hailan's heart.
Although Hai Lan was still wary of Concubine Cheng, she still ordered Lan Cui beside her to accept the inkstone.
Taking advantage of Hai Lan's happiness, Concubine Cheng casually mentioned that she wanted to go and see the Fifth Prince to see with her own eyes whether he really liked this inkstone.
If he likes, she has many rare study treasures, and the Fifth Prince can choose whatever he likes.
It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Moreover, this is in the Yanx Palace, and Lady Cheng would not dare to do anything in public.
Thinking of this, Hai Lan took Concubine Cheng to the side hall where the Fifth Prince was.
When the group arrived, the Fifth Prince happened to be practicing calligraphy.
Lan Cui took out the inkstone and placed it on the table. The orange inkstone looked strange and beautiful under the candlelight.
The Fifth Prince had never seen an inkstone of such a special color. Out of curiosity, he urged Lan Cui to add water to it so that he could try it out.
The color of the chengni inkstone becomes more translucent and rich after adding water. Lan Cui holds the ink stick in her hand and grinds it slowly.
Suddenly the room was filled with the scent of ink, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.
The Fifth Prince quickly wrote a large piece of Chinese characters. Although his handwriting was still a little immature and green, it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into it.
He put down the brush, picked up the big characters, and was about to walk up to Hailan to show them.
But when passing by Lan Cui, his mind suddenly became dizzy, his eyes became dull for an instant, and his body unconsciously collapsed.
Seeing this, Lan Cui hurriedly supported the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince looked up at her in confusion, then tilted his head, closed his eyes, and fainted.
Hai Lan was terrified. She immediately reached out to take the unconscious Fifth Prince and walked towards the warm room with him in her arms.
The Fifth Prince lay limply on the bed, his face pale and his lips bloodless. He looked lifeless as if he were made of paper, like a body without a soul.
At Hai Lan's glance, Ye Xin quickly ran out to ask for the imperial physician, and passed the news to the emperor and Ruyi.
Wu Fu, the chief eunuch of Yanxi Palace, immediately led his men to surround the Yanxi Palace inside and out, and no unauthorized persons were allowed to enter or leave.
Hai Lan looked at the Fifth Prince in her arms anxiously and worriedly, tears almost falling.
The Fifth Prince had always been healthy and lively. Now he suddenly fainted, someone must have been plotting against him.
The most likely person must be Mr. Cheng...
Hai Lan's sharp eyes pierced directly at Concubine Cheng, "Concubine Cheng, the Fifth Prince fainted because he used the inkstone you sent him. You are highly suspicious, so don't blame me for offending you."
Although Concubine Cheng was frightened, she answered calmly without any shame, "I must stay in the Yanxi Palace to prove my innocence.
It doesn't matter if you offend someone or not, Concubine Yu is too kind. "
Although Cheng Guiren looked respectful and sincere, she failed to dispel Hai Lan's doubts.
Her voice was as cold as ice, her face was sullen, her eyes were filled with rage, and she said coldly, "Although you are from the Fucha family, if you dare to hurt my Yongqi, I will fight you to the death."
This is a mother's instinct to protect her child.
Concubine Cheng shed tears at the right time, and said softly with a little grievance, "I am innocent. If Concubine Yu suspects me, I am willing to swear to heaven.
If this was done by a concubine, I would surely be deserted by everyone and die with resentment."
The oath is poisonous.
Hai Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally turned her head away and concentrated on taking care of Yong Qi, no longer paying attention to Concubine Cheng.
But Concubine Cheng refused to leave at this moment, "Empress Yu, such a big thing happened in the Yanxi Palace. Although I can't help, I can't shirk my responsibilities.
I will stay where you can see me and pray for the Fifth Prince silently. This way, you can feel at ease. "
Concubine Cheng chose to stay under Hai Lan's nose to ensure that she had no chance to do anything.
This method can indeed prove her innocence and fearlessness to a certain extent.
Hai Lan did not stop her and nodded silently.
Soon, Doctor Jiang followed Ruyi to the Yanx Palace.
After taking the pulse, it was discovered that the Fifth Prince had been poisoned by a powder called rice sac.
This powder emits a bitter fragrance.
If taken, it will calm the mind and refresh the brain at first, and then make people fall into hallucinations.
If an injured person takes it, his eyes will become dull and he will become unconscious and unconscious, like a puppet at the mercy of others.
This is the powder that doctors will give to seriously ill patients who refuse to cooperate with treatment when they are helpless.
But if a normal person takes it by mistake, it would be poison.
If a young child like the Fifth Prince took it, it would be extremely poisonous and would harm the brain and body.
To put it more seriously, the Fifth Prince might be trapped in a hallucination forever and become an idiot.
Hai Lan couldn't believe her ears. She buried her face in Ruyi's shoulder and cried, her body shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Ruyi was furious, "Jiang Yubin, you can use whatever herbs are needed to treat Yongqi's condition, no matter how expensive they are.
Doctor Qi is off duty today and is not in the palace. You are the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital. I can only feel at ease if I entrust Yongqi to you."
Jiang Yubin bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness the Imperial Concubine and Your Highness the Concubine Yu, don't worry too much.
Fortunately, the Fifth Prince was not poisoned too seriously. I will do my best to protect him, not to harm the heir to the throne, and not to disappoint the two ladies."
Jiang Yubin has always been a conservative. With his words, Ruyi and Hailan finally felt relieved.
