The First Empress - Chapter 112
Chapter 112 Suspicion And Forensics
In the palace, aside from the dead flowers and grass, the rest were eyes.
Linglong looked at the parrot on the jade hook. As expected, “the parrot dares not say anything”. She took roughly two steps forward and waved her hand. Imperial Physician Pei took three steps and two steps to Linglong’s side. She was about to be supported by Linglong when she said, “Forget it, what are you doing in Changle Palace? Are you delayed by talking to you here?”
Imperial Physician Pei heavily sighed, “Your Highness, I really don’t know how to open my mouth to these things. This servant has kept his mouth shut ever since entering the palace. Your Highness is a good person. I will tell Your Highness.”
Linglong only felt her chest jump violently and forcefully suppressed the palpitations. She smiled and said, “Say, what you said will end here in this palace. You can rest assured.”
Pei Minghai nodded and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “I went to Changle Palace in a panic. I was going to deliver medicine to Lan Zhaoyuan.”
“Lan Zhaoyuan?” Linglong frowned and faintly said, “Zhao Yuan is sick?”
Pei Minghai pursed his lips and said, “It’s just a problem. Your Highness also knows that Lan Zhaoyuan is a very favored concubine. However, you have witnessed some things with your own eyes. She” Pei Minghai really did not know how to speak, but just kept sighing.
How smart was Linglong? She had already guessed that she was at least eight to nine. She nodded and said, “Your Majesty’s meaning?”
“The emperor’s fate cannot be violated,” Pei Minghai was speechless. “This lowly subject is just a small imperial physician like a sesame mung bean. This killing and saving lives cannot be left to this servant.”
Her words were ambiguous. Linglong walked to the front and whispered something to Pei Minghai. Pei Minghai nodded and said, “This official will naturally come over to ask for the Empress’ safety pulse at night.”
“Go, go.” Linglong waved her handkerchief and Pei Minghai hurriedly left.
Linglong instantly felt a mouthful of turbid air congealing in her heart. She could not breathe or swallow it. Even the autumn scenery in the garden did not have the leisure to look at it.
Pei Minghai hurriedly arrived at Changle Palace. Changle Palace was already in a commotion. Just as he arrived outside Changle Palace, he heard Lan Zhaoyuan cursing inside. “What a bold slave! Did he actually go for so long? Carefully, I’ll take a look at him in front of the Emperor.”
The trembling Hu Zongnan knelt on the ground. Imperial Physician Hu knocked his head to the ground. “Bang bang bang!” The mountain rang, “Your Highness, please excuse us. The Imperial Hospital is also a bit away from Changle Palace. Imperial Physician Pei is also a cautious and intelligent person. He will not neglect his duties.”
Lan Sou Yu raised her eyebrows coldly, “At that time, I will not let this neglect of duty go unpunished.”
Just as he was cursing, Pei Minghai had already stepped into the inner hall of Changle Palace.
“Your Highness, please forgive this little one for being innocent. This little one is already on the verge of being whipped. I accidentally bumped into Bu Jieyu just now.” Pei Minghai hurriedly compensated carefully. However, he did not have the kind of weakness that Hu Zongnan had. He was also righteous.
“Forget it, Bu Jieyu.” She smiled and asked evilly, “Are you alright?”
‘”Your Highness, don’t you know that you are close to each other and don’t act arrogantly after that? The youngest one is naturally your Highness, so I’m coming. Bu Jieyu will go over to ask for the Pulse of Safety at night.” Seeing that the situation was stronger than others, Pei Minghai could only spout nonsense. Hearing this, Lan Shuyu nodded her head and said, “I was going to punish you. I’ll forgive you for now.”
Pei Minghai nodded.
Lan Shuyu’s expression changed again. She was so pale that she raised her voice, “What happened? It took so long for the medicinal ingredients to be brought over? This palace would like to hear what exactly is the reason why this palace has no dragon descendants.”
Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan had already been instructed by the Emperor. They were just spouting nonsense. Just now, they had left Hu Zongnan here to look at their pulse. It was because they lacked two medicinal ingredients that Pei Minghai personally went to the Grand Hospital to get them. Only then did they rush over.
‘”Your Majesty is weak. On the other hand, you still need to take good care of yourself if you want to get pregnant. The little one has just brought over a thousand-year-old man from the Grand Hospital to participate in the Turtle Cocoon Paste. It will naturally be beneficial for Your Majesty to eat it according to the prescription.” Pei Minghai took out his medicinal ingredients.
Hu Zongnan hurriedly echoed, “Your Highness, you are suffering so much. This is the reason why you have to endure so many trials and tribulations.”
Lan Sou Yu sneered twice, “Forget it, forget it. If this palace has eaten this recipe and it still doesn’t work, then take care of your skin.”
Hu Zongnan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and kowtowed repeatedly. Pei Minghai also lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to make any promises. Seeing that the two most famous imperial physicians were also Shattered Jade, Lan Shuyu could only listen to their words and slowly recuperate.
The two imperial physicians let out a long sigh. This Lan Sou Yu was very capable of tormenting people. Every time she asked them to come over, she would be extremely busy. In the end, not only did she not say a single word of praise, she even gave them some pointers. They also dared to be angry and not dare to say anything.
Pei Minghai glanced at Hu Zongnan and was about to say goodbye when Lan Shuyu said, “Slow down!”
The two imperial physicians were slightly stunned. Hu Zongnan said, “What else does Your Highness have to say?”
“Don’t tell me that someone has harmed this palace. You two go to the inner hall of this palace and see what the problem is. Could it be that someone has used some sort of method?” Lan Shuyu’s big black and white eyes flashed, as if she had suddenly revealed those secrets.
Hu Zongnan and Pei Minghai laughed together, “Your Highness is joking. Your Highness’s Changle Palace is not allowed to enter, let alone drugged.”
“Shut up!” Lan Shuyu stood up and walked to the front. “This palace is walking in front, and the two imperial physicians are watching for me from behind. If there is anything wrong with those things, this palace will not do anything.”
Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan could only stutter as they followed Lan Shuyu to the front. The inner hall was filled with fragrant flowers. The smell made people want to sneeze. Hu Zongnan frowned fiercely. Not to mention anything, even the lotus flowers soaked in the Yaozhou porcelain tray were harmful. The more he walked, the colder he became.
Lan Shuyu raised her eyebrows and stood on Gaixin’s brocade carpet. She looked back at the two coldly and said, “Let’s take a look here. There’s something wrong with it.”
Pei Minghai glanced at Hu Zongnan and said indifferently, “Perhaps the Empress is overthinking it. Although her small nose doesn’t look like an eagle, she can still smell those bad things. Empress, the small head on her neck assures the Empress that there is no problem with all the plants and wood furnishings here.”
Only then did Lan Sou Yu feel relieved and sent over a jade ruyi from the Treasure Pavilion beside her. “Here you are. It can be considered as this palace thanking you.” Pei Minghai hurriedly caught it. There was a purple agate embedded on the jade ruyi. Inside this agate was …
It’s a musk pill.
Pei Minghai knew that this was still a method he used to play with Han Shanggong, and even the Emperor said that it was amazing.
It was impossible to say that they weren’t afraid. The two of them seemed to be walking and stopping with rabbits in their arms. After spending half a day, they were finally released by Lan Sou Yu. After walking outside, Hu Zong Nan sighed and said, “Brother Pei, you’re too arrogant. Is your head a joke?”
Pei Minghai sneered, “Brother Hu, don’t be afraid. It must be known that these things are all the Emperor’s will. The Emperor’s orders cannot be violated. I can only hide them from you.” +
The two of them sighed tacitly. Hu Zongnan went straight to the Taiyuan Hospital because of other matters, and Pei Minghai naturally wanted to go to Yunluan Palace to ask for the Pulse of Safety.
Qin’er had already been waiting outside Qixia Palace. Seeing Pei Minghai coming over, she waved her hand and said, “Lord Pei, come inside and talk.”
Pei Minghai wrapped up the jade ruyi and took it inside.
Sitting in the main hall, Linglong saw Pei Minghai and the other two talking. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, “Is this true or false?”
“Don’t doubt me, Your Highness. Could it be that you still don’t trust this lowly official?” Pei Minghai was in a hurry. Linglong handed Pei Minghai a bowl of tea. “Lord, don’t be anxious. Let’s have a sip of tea first.” Pei Minghai took a sip of tea before he let out a sigh of relief and explained everything. The more Linglong listened, the more frightened she became. The more frightened she became, the more she wanted to hear it. Pei Minghai naturally saw Linglong’s fear. He simply showed himself and gave Linglong the jade ruyi.
Linglong asked, “What is this?”
“Yu Ruyi. Don’t you know the Empress?” Pei Minghai’s white eyebrows twitched as he spoke.
Linglong took it and slowly untied Yu Ruyi. It was indeed a very rare treasure. Linglong remembered that it was a relic of the previous emperor’s life. It was naturally extremely precious to cherish it, but …
She touched Yu Ruyi with her tentacles and asked, “Is there a problem with this?”
Pei Minghai cupped his hands and took Yu Ruyi over. He pointed to the gem on it and said, “Your Highness, look carefully at the agate and smell it?”
Linglong followed suit and smiled, “It’s actually an ancient item from the time of the first emperor. It actually has a faint fragrance that intoxicates people’s hearts and minds.”
Pei Minghai sighed, “This is amazing. Ordinary fragrance is fine, but this fragrance …”
“Could it be musk?” Linglong hurriedly pushed the jade away, and Pei Minghai knelt on the ground. “There’s no need for the Empress to be alarmed. It won’t be a problem to smell it occasionally, but you can’t immerse yourself in this fragrance for long. Otherwise, you won’t get pregnant over time.”
Only then did Linglong feel a little relieved and asked, “This jade ruyi originally belonged to the previous emperor, but who gave it to Lan Zhaoyuan?” Pei Minghai laughed and said, “Don’t ask about this Empress. Just pretend that you don’t know.”
Linglong heard this and already knew. She nodded her head, “This palace knows. Lord Pei, you came here today to help this palace obtain the Pulse of Safety. Remember it later.”
Pei Minghai nodded his head and put away the jade ruyi. “I was here to get my pulse. Your Highness …” Pei Minghai looked around and felt dazzled. It was gorgeous. He could not say how beautiful the snow shone on the window and shook the door.
Linglong thought for a while and decided that it was better to bump into the sun than to choose a day. Fortunately, Pei Minghai was still a capable person. She nodded and said, “Take a look. That shelf is full of things sent over by the concubines. If there is anything inappropriate, please tell me.”
Pei Minghai went to the Treasure Pavilion in front and carefully looked at it. As he looked, he asked questions. Linglong felt that it was funny, but there was a bit of condensation in it.
