The imperial concubine bows down to me

Shen Tai left the capital, and that "adulter" did nothing.Shen Zhi released him, but couldn't find out his identity, so he simply let him go into exile with the people from Taiwei's house.Now, she doesn't have to think about the person in the dark room every time she eats, and even when she sleeps, she subconsciously feels that the surroundings are much cleaner.

If Shen Zhi wasn't very familiar with the road from the East Palace to the Penglai Palace before, then now that she is walking on this road, she can be regarded as very familiar with it.After a while, she arrived at the Penglai Hall, and at this time, Liu Shuyan had just finished eating and wandered around the yard.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Seeing Shen Zhi, Liu Shuyan hurriedly greeted her, stopped in front of her, and then said, "It's not too early, the kitchen prepared a lot of snacks today, and His Highness should like them." food."

"Just now when Qinning was in the East Palace, Gu thought she would stay to eat, so he asked someone to prepare a lot of food. But later, Qinning went back beforehand, and in the end, there was still a lot of food left when she ate alone." Said Seeing that Liu Shuyan's eyes also fell on the white cat in her arms, Shen Zhi explained, "This is the cat that Miss Xue sent over today. It looks cute and I thought the imperial concubine might like it, so I took it." gone."

It was supposed to be something to be happy about, but upon hearing this, Liu Shuyan frowned, with some doubts: "Your Highness, is this... Ruoyu sent it here personally today, or did Qinning send it here on her behalf?"

"Miss Xue sent it over by herself, but after a short stay, she went back again." Perhaps it was because she was not familiar with it yet, the white cat was writhing in Shen Zhi's arms, and when Shen Zhi spoke, she also cast her eyes on it , didn't notice Liu Shuyan's slightly changed expression from before.

Liu Shuyan was worried, and continued to ask: "What else did she say?"

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Zhi noticed something wrong with Liu Shuyan's tone and looked at her, only then did he see her faint worry.She replied: "Miss Xue just said some things that Maomao likes and dislikes, and other things are related to these, and she didn't mention anything else. Oh, by the way, Miss Xue also said that sending orphans away It’s just a cat, I want to apologize for the little tantrum in the Du Mansion.”

This white cat was obviously very docile and didn't like barking too much, but Liu Shuyan saw it and couldn't help but feel that this matter was very strange.

"May your Highness show this cat to my concubine?"

"Of course, I came today to give it to the imperial concubine to feed." Shen Zhi didn't think about it, and without the slightest hesitation, he agreed and handed the cat to Liu Shuyan.

Liu Shuyan has never owned a cat, and she saw very few cats before, but she is certain that this cat is of a good breed and should be expensive.And after taking a closer look, she discovered that the cat had a little peculiar smell, and she seemed to have smelled this smell somewhere before.

Seeing Liu Shuyan frowned after hearing this, but didn't say a word for a long time, Shen Zhi couldn't help asking: "Your concubine...but what did you find?"

"Your Highness, can you send the imperial doctor to make an identification?" Liu Shuyan shook his head, then nodded as if thinking of something, but asked instead.

Originally, Shen Zhi believed in Xue Ruoyu very much, and thought that she would have no bad intentions, but since Liu Shuyan, who knew Xue Ruoyu better than her, said so, she couldn't think of any reason to object.Furthermore, even if there is a problem, it is not necessarily Xue Ruoyu's deliberate action. Maybe Liu Shuyan is just worried about the problem with Mao Mao itself?

"Of course it is possible," thinking, Shen Zhi agreed, then turned around and found a maid at random, and asked her to pass the message to the Imperial Hospital, and then said to Liu Shu, "The imperial concubine has been holding the cat all the time. The cat is also quite tired, and I am afraid that it will run away if I let it outside here. How about... going to sit in the palace with the imperial concubine alone?"

Since Liu Shuyan talked with Shen Zhi last time, Shen Zhi gradually avoided her a lot.Although the two of them were at odds with each other, she didn't care about it, and the rumors in the palace had long been specious, and the palace people in the East Palace and Penglai Palace had already seen it.

Seeing that the two of them entered the main hall with the cat, no one came out to stop them, until the maid who had just left came back with the imperial doctor, Shuangyu went up and knocked on the door, and told the matter inside Two people chatting about some old things.

"Come in." Liu Shuyan responded, and also suppressed the smile on her face. When people outside came in, she also took the initiative to greet them with the cat in her arms.

"I have seen the imperial concubine, I have seen...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After saluting with Liu Shuyan, he raised his eyes to see Shen Zhi sitting behind her, and the imperial doctor quickly lowered his eyes again, with a kind of "don't be rude." see" feeling.

After the imperial doctor got up, Liu Shuyan gently stroked the hair of the white cat in his hand, and after confirming that it didn't seem to be disgusted with the person in front of him, he handed it to the imperial doctor, and said: "This cat has a lot of hair on it." There is a scent that I feel is very familiar, but I can't remember where I smelled it for a while, so I trouble you to distinguish it."

"I will do my best." Responding, the imperial doctor carefully took the cat over, nodded to Liu Shuyan, and put it on the spacious desk beside him.

At this time, Shen Zhi had already walked over, stood next to the two of them, without saying a word, just silently watched the imperial doctor's movements, with a slightly nervous expression, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The white cat obediently stayed where it was, and the imperial doctor also knelt down and leaned over it to smell it carefully.Gradually, a trace of panic appeared in the imperial doctor's expression, but after all, he is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and soon he stabilized his mind, calmed down, and once again brought his nose together with certainty. Explore the past.

"How is it?" Shen Zhi couldn't help asking when the imperial doctor straightened up with some embarrassment on his face and didn't speak for a long time.

Hearing this, the imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth with some uncertainty: "If you go back to His Royal Highness, the cat itself should have no problem, but... its hair seems to have been deliberately stained. Some things were washed away, leaving behind a special fragrance that the imperial concubine said."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi couldn't help feeling tense, and then asked: "Oh? What was it contaminated with?"

"There are too many ingredients in this thing, and I dare not pat my chest to list them all for a while. However, if the old minister guessed correctly, it should contain..." As he spoke, the imperial doctor still did not forget to raise his eyes quietly. Looking at Liu Shuyan's expression and seeing that she didn't want to stop her, he seemed to be relieved and reassured a lot, and said, "It contains musk."

"Musk?" Liu Shuyan and Shen Zhi were surprised at the same time.

Liu Shuyan had wandered in the rivers and lakes and was well-informed. Needless to say, he must know what this is.Although Shen Zhi has never studied medicine, she has read a lot of history books and pamphlets that record the events of the previous court, and she has also seen in a corner that musk can cause miscarriage or even infertility. .

But anyway, after all, musk is extremely precious, so why is there musk on this white cat for no reason?
