[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Returned to Changchun Palace.

At night, taking advantage of nobody's time, Wei Rong took out the small jade bottle that Yinzhen had given her.

When the plug was opened, a clear and elegant fragrance came out.She took a little and applied it on her wrists, and immediately felt much refreshed.

After using it up, put the little jade bottle in the small box of the Tibetan silver ticket, and Wei Rong went to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Rong was woken up by the numbness on his arm.

The skin is itchy and the taste is ecstasy.She got out of the quilt, rolled up her sleeves, and was startled when she saw that her skin, which was only blue and purple, turned red and swollen, which was particularly conspicuous on her porcelain-like arms.

Wei Rong couldn't help but scratched twice, and it became more and more red and swollen.

This appearance looks like Song Qing'er's appearance after being tricked by Li Jiagui to injure her leg a while ago.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the medicine that the fourth elder brother gave himself?

Wei Rong wanted to call the imperial physician over, but on second thought, the scar on his arm was strange and hard to explain, and it would be troublesome if it got to the ears of the fourth elder brother.

She took out the ointment again, and applied a small amount on the back of her hands and ankles. Sure enough, after more than an hour, the place where the ointment was applied also became red and swollen.

That's when she called someone in.

When Yufu saw it, he was taken aback, and hurried to invite the imperial physician.

Doctor Qian, a grey-bearded doctor who came to see the doctor, saw the marks on Wei Rong's wrist and ankle, and asked the reason in surprise.

Wei Rong only said that yesterday when she went to play in the garden, she accidentally fell and got some bruises on her wrist and ankle.She didn't think it was serious, so she didn't ask the imperial doctor, but took out the traumatic ointment that she carried with her, and applied some herself.I didn't expect it to look like this the next day.

"Does the master's ointment remain?"

Wei Rong took out a half-worn small porcelain bottle, and while there was no one there just now, she took some ointment and put it into it.

The porcelain vase was brought in when she entered the palace. Yufu and the others saw it and thought it was her old plaster.

Imperial Physician Qian opened the bottle cap, sniffed it carefully, took a small amount, examined it carefully on the table, and after tossing for a long time, said cautiously: "The taste of this ointment should be Yushuang ointment. The anti-tumor medicine is used, and the property of the medicine is moderate and mild, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't have this symptom. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Wei Rong was made impatient by the slow-moving imperial physician.

"Except that I have used hot and dry things such as black lemongrass recently." Imperial Physician Qian said doubtfully.

"This Yu cream is made from Sanyu root as the main ingredient, supplemented with flowers, lilies and other materials. It is incompatible with black lemongrass. Once it is used, symptoms of itching, redness and swelling will appear."

Yufu interjected next to him: "Our master is taking care of his body recently. The Tai Hospital has prescribed a lot of medicinal materials. Maybe there is black lime grass in it." Those medicinal materials are made up of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials. Can't tell.

Physician Qian shook his head: "The herbal medicine of citrine is dry and hot. Once taken, it will make women's skin rough and yellow, and their appearance will be greatly damaged. The imperial physician in the palace will never prescribe it to all ladies."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention, Wei Rong's expression changed slightly.

She has been taking these health-care decoctions for several months, and she really feels that her complexion has become much uglier recently.

Yufu's complexion also changed. As a personal maid, she also noticed that the master's skin has indeed not been as radiant and moist as before.

Wei Rong coughed lightly, interrupting Yufu's urge to speak.

She smiled and said: "Thank you, the imperial physician. Is it possible that I am allergic to medicinal materials such as Sanyugen...I mean guilty. Or the ointment has been used for too long, and the properties of the medicine have changed."

"This... is because some people have special constitutions. Once certain medicines are applied, abnormal symptoms will appear. But Sanyushuang is mild in nature, and such symptoms are extremely rare." Imperial Physician Qian hesitated, but could not determine the reason.

Finally, he said, "Why don't I send Chang Zai another bottle of Golden Hook Ointment, that is also a good medicinal material for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis."

"Thank you, Doctor."

After seeing the doctor, Wei Rong politely sent him out.

***

Back indoors, Yufu looked nervous: "Master!"

"Don't make any noise yet." Wei Rong ordered calmly.

She is now basically sure that she has been tricked.

Infected by her calm attitude, Yufu also calmed down quickly. Thinking carefully, when the master was brewing the medicine, Yulian watched from the beginning to the end. It is absolutely impossible for someone to tamper with it halfway. The problem must be the medicine. up.

"The servant girl will fetch the medicinal materials and carefully distinguish them."

However, after spending a whole morning, Wei Rong and the others searched through the remaining dozen packs of herbs, but they couldn't find any trace of citrine grass.Yufu even opened the gaps in the medicinal materials and took a closer look.Not even a little powder slag.

Yufu and Yulian were dumbfounded, they couldn't have just used up the added medicinal materials.

Wei Rong thought for a moment, then ordered: "Go to Tai Hospital to prepare a few packs of medicinal materials."

***

After lunch, Wei Rong went to take a lunch break.

Yulian went to Tai Hospital.

After finding the Imperial Physician Wang who was dispensing Wei Rong's medicine these days, Yu Lian said obediently: "Sometimes a mouse entered the small warehouse and bitten several packs of medicine, the master asked me to come over and buy some more packs. "While speaking, offer a red envelope.

Imperial physician Wang said attentively: "Wei Changzai is too polite, there is no need for these." As he said this, he hurriedly collected the money in his hand, and smiled again, "Don't worry about this matter, girl, wait until you get it done." , Let the little apprentice send it there, the girl should go back earlier."

Yulian turned and left.

When Yulian walked away, Imperial Physician Wang twisted his mustache, turned around and went to the inner hall to dispense medicine.

He selected more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials and prepared them skillfully. Seeing no one around, he chose the bottom one from dozens of porcelain vats against the wall, opened the lid, and used a colander to scoop out dozens of ginseng slices. come out.

He hecked twice, "Fortunately, I've taken it long ago, otherwise the medicine wouldn't be able to keep up with it."

Put the ginseng slices on the oven to smoke, and it will dry out soon, so he added them one by one to the five packs of herbs.

Little did he know that Wei Rong, who was standing outside the window, had seen the whole set of actions clearly.

What a vicious way!No need to look carefully, Wei Rong also knew that most of the juice in the porcelain urn was the juice of citrine grass, no wonder no trace could be found, it turned out that such a roundabout method was used.

Without anyone knowing it, even if his appearance is damaged in the future and his skin is dull, he will only think it is a long-term illness and will not suspect him.

After the imperial physician went out, Wei Rong went in quietly, opened the medicine altar, took out the small porcelain bottle that he carried with him, and poured a lot of medicine juice from it.

Thinking of the imperial physician telling his disciples to leave the palace and return home.

She moved the medicine jar out again and stuffed it directly into the closet where he packed his things.

***

In the early morning of the second day, concubine Xi paid her respects in the palace, everyone arrived, but Wei Rong was the only one who had not been seen for a long time.

Dou Changzai covered his lips and coughed softly, "What's wrong with Wei Changzai? Could it be that he overslept, and even forgot the greeting from the empress."

Song Qing'er apologized and said with a smile: "Sister Wei is not feeling well these days, maybe she fell ill again."

"You should tell me when you're sick." Nanny Zhou frowned.

Xi Concubine was about to speak with a sullen expression.Suddenly, I saw a little maid hurriedly running outside the palace.

Yu Fu knelt outside the hall with a plop, "Madam, our master has been running hot since last night, his body is red and swollen, and his face is strange."

Really sick?

Xi Concubine called people in, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you invite the imperial physician?"

"I have invited the imperial physician, but after repeated diagnosis and treatment, I can't find any symptoms, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"The servant listened to what the imperial doctor said, and it seems that it was caused by eating something unclean." Yufu quietly raised his head and glanced at the people in the hall, his voice trembling.

Eat something unclean?

The hall is full of human spirits, it is hard to tell that this is a euphemism, most likely poisoned.

With such a big event, the morning greetings came to an end in a hurry.

Nanny Zhou took the two maids to the West Side Hall.

As soon as he entered the door and saw Wei Rong's appearance, he was shocked.

There were several spots of redness and swelling on the originally fair face, which was extremely frightening to look at.

"How did Chang Zai become like this?"

"It was fine before going to bed last night, but it became like this the next day." Wei Rong lay on the bed and said weakly.

Song Qing'er who came with her couldn't wait to ask: "What did Sister Wei eat?"

"Chang Zai had a bad appetite last night, so he only drank a bowl of porridge, ate two pieces of snacks, and then drank the freshly brewed soup." Yufu replied.

Yulian also added: "We often had these symptoms yesterday, but they were mild, and today they are getting worse."

Nanny Zhou complained, "Why didn't you send someone to report back yesterday."

Wei Rong said ashamedly, "At first I thought it was nothing serious, but today I developed a fever again. That's why I invited the imperial physician over."

Everyone turned their heads to see that two gray-bearded imperial physicians were squatting on the corridor, leading a few apprentices, and inspecting the stove for boiling medicine.

Soon, the elderly imperial physician came over with a serious expression.

Nanny Zhou quickly asked, "Emperor doctor, what's the matter?"

"If the minister's inspection is correct, Wei Changzai's decoction should contain a large amount of black lemongrass. It is hot and hot, which is not good for women. Taking it will damage the complexion, and taking too much at one time will cause high fever. I just checked the dregs of the medicine, but there is no The traces of this thing are very strange."

Nanny Zhou's complexion changed: "Could it be that the black lemongrass was quietly added in during the boiling of the medicine?"

Wei Rong said slowly: "These are all newly received medicinal materials yesterday, and there are people watching them while cooking, there is absolutely no possibility of being tampered with."

Not long after, even the respect room was alarmed, Xi Concubine also sent someone over.

He took away all the dregs and juice, and searched again at the duty station of the Tai Hospital where the medicine was dispensed yesterday, and quickly caught the real culprit.

Then he was taken to the Punishment Department to be tortured for one night, and soon got another accomplice.

That night, the eunuch in charge of the respect room brought eight strong eunuchs to Changchun Palace.

Concubine Xi met this group of people in the main hall, examined Concubine Hui's letter, and then ordered Nanny Zhou to take them to the Eastern side hall.

A farce did not end until midnight.
