Don't take any medicine for snakes and mice!
Mother Jiang thought a little nervously and said, "madam, it smells like medicine..."
Medicine smell?
The queen frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "show me the palace."
Mother Jiang handed over her handkerchief.
Then he saw his mother put her veil close to her nose and sniffed hard.
"...." mother Jiang thought silently - this is heaven's blessing.
"It doesn't smell like poison..." the queen was a little relieved.
The medicine used for poisonous snakes and mice often has a pungent smell.
She smelled the smell on the handkerchief, but it was much milder, and looked sticky. It was like the medicine juice boiled by someone
Where did Tianfu steal it, or... Someone fed it?
But who will give Tianfu medicine?
After all, he was born as a half wild child, and he was also an outstanding person who climbed out of a group of wild cats in the palace with his own strength. He has experienced a lot. Therefore, Tianfu has always been very sensitive in distinguishing danger, and it doesn't look like he was forced by others
"You'd better find a doctor to see it before you can rest assured..." the queen confessed to mother Jiang: "in the past, it was doctor Luo. Please see doctor Luo."
Mother Jiang answered "yes", so she sent a gong-e to ask doctor Luo.
Dr. Luo was not a veterinarian at first. However, his medical skills in treating people were not very good. Instead, he took good care of the birds and cats kept in various palaces. He came and went. Although he didn't have the name of a veterinarian, he was already a veterinarian.
Doctor Luo came soon.
Dr. Luo Tai, who looks less than 40, has a slightly round body and a round face. It is because he looks very lucky, or because he has been dealing with hairy children for a long time. His clothes are always stained with soft hair that can't be picked clean.
"He accidentally asked him to eat half a jar of dried yellow croaker last night. It seems that he has accumulated food this morning. Please see doctor Luo." the queen said in her chair.
"Food accumulation can be big or small..." doctor Luo took Tianfu from mother Jiang's hand, gently pressed his finger on the furry belly, and looked at the cat's mental state. "It should be no big problem... But we must eat less on weekdays. Look how thick the meat is."
Tianfu heard the speech and meowed a few times. His eyes looked a little bad.
Doctor Luo raised his eyebrows: "how can you curse..."
He has been dealing with cats and dogs for more than ten years, and he still has this ability to distinguish!
The queen couldn't help laughing.
Every time doctor Luo told Tianfu to eat less, she would get scolded - she thought that Tianfu probably felt that the same round doctor Luo was more or less unconvincing
Doctor Luo was about to put the cat down and take some medicine out of the medicine box, but his nose moved slightly.
Then he suddenly brought the cat close to him.
Tianfu stretched out his claws against his face, and each layer of Chin seemed to be shouting resistance.
But as a veteran doctor Luo Tai succeeded, skillfully broke off the cat's mouth and looked at the residual drugs in it.
"This is..." doctor Luo Tai, who had the answer, was a little surprised: "I don't know where the medicine taken by my mother to Tianfu came from?"
This gap, Tianfu waited for an opportunity to escape from his arms and ran away quickly, scolding while running.
Seeing what he seemed to know, the queen looked as usual and didn't answer, "but what's the problem?"
"There's no problem. This medicine can be used properly to eliminate accumulation. However, it is suitable for both humans and animals... It's just that this medicine is not easy to grow. It needs to be kept in a place away from light, and it also needs to be watered with medicine juice. The dosage of medicine juice is also very particular. More is not enough, less is not enough..."
Dr. Luo said, "I tried to raise him several times, but I never managed to raise him until he blossomed... Now these people in the imperial medical department are too troublesome to fiddle with this. The last time I saw someone raise him, he was still under my master's hand. He thought of this way to raise medicine with medicine."
This is a casual chat.
The queen listened very carefully, but she only asked, "I don't know which expert Dr. Luo Tai will accept?"
"The empress should not know." when it comes to the former master, doctor Luo's mood is a little complicated: "my master's surname is Qiao. He was also in the imperial medical department before... He died 18 years ago."
The Queen's heart trembled.
The doctor surnamed Qiao who died 18 years ago
Who else but Joe Bing?!
"I really haven't heard of it. Eighteen years ago, the palace was still in Ningyang." the queen said quietly.
Luo Taiyi smiled and nodded. He didn't mention much about the past. He just couldn't help asking again: "which Taiyi doctor prescribed the medicine taken by Tianfu?"
He had never seen him in the medicine nursery of the imperial medical department.
"It was sent by my sister-in-law. There was also a cat in the royal residence. My sister-in-law always took care of it. The medicine said it could cure accumulated food, so I asked someone to feed it."
Luo Taiyi nodded clearly.
Oh, Dingnan palace
Then there's nothing strange.
"Now that you have taken this medicine, you don't have to match it with others. Just rest assured."
The queen nodded slightly, "with doctor Luo's words, the palace can really settle down. Thank you for coming."
"My mother is serious."
Doctor Luo saluted: "since it was so, Wei Chen retired."
"Mammy, send doctor Luo."
Listening to the footsteps disappear, the temple gradually recovers silence, and the Queen's eyes slowly change.
Tianfu has been to the dark court more than once
Dr. Luo said that there are few people who can cultivate the medicine Tianfu takes today, and his master, Dr. Qiao, is one of them
Is this really just a coincidence?
Or is it true that the person she is looking for is hidden in the dark court?
"Send someone to ask xiaochenzi. What the palace told him to do before has been arranged -"
"Yes."
The queen looked at the basin of pine scenery looming outside the half open window lattice and stood still for a long time.
She is bound to let people explore in the dark court
Just for the sake of security, we are doomed not to take risks. In this way, we are doomed to act according to the circumstances, and it is impossible to really find out the dark court in a short time.
But now it's a little different
If Tianfu really has some relationship with the person she is looking for, xiaochenzi will no longer be aimless in the process of investigation, but there will be more convenient places to start.
……
At noon, the sun hung like fire.
"Go inside later. Don't stay long. Don't cause me any trouble..."
In the narrow lane not far from the dark court, several internal supervisors whispered in one place.
"Don't worry, our brothers, don't you know me? I'm born without the courage to get into trouble! I just want to see xiaojiezi... There's not much silver. I'll give my brothers some wine later..."
The internal supervisor who spoke earlier took the money bag and weighed it. Only then did he show a smile: "yes, go and get back quickly. Don't delay."
"Ah!" xiaochenzi nodded hurriedly.
Then he exchanged clothes and hats with the inner prison, and went with the other inner prison to the direction of the dark court with food buckets and baskets.
This is the first time xiaochenzi has stepped into the dark court.
At noon, it was like a hot stove. The weeds on both sides of the green brick road were rolled up and drooped with leaves. Looking around, there were signs of dilapidation everywhere.
"My mother, I'm wronged! I'm really wronged!"
A cry suddenly came from the row of low houses in front of him. Xiaochenzi looked curious. The internal supervisor around him didn't think it was important and said, "there's nothing to see. It's just crazy. There are many heads here."
Xiaochenzi gave a "tut" and shook his head without saying or asking.
"The person you want to see is in the yard in the East." after walking a little further, the other internal supervisors stopped, and one of them pointed a direction to xiaochenzi: "go, remember not to delay too long."
Xiaochenzi looked in the direction he pointed and nodded.
When I was about to pass by with a bucket, I suddenly heard the internal supervisor nearby say, "if you encounter those who don't obey the rules and want to make trouble, take off the whip. When you see the whip, they are more honest than dogs."
Listening to the arrogant words in this tone, xiaochenzi looked at the whip wrapped around the handle of the bucket. Even if he felt a little uncomfortable, he smiled knowingly: "OK, I understand."
Seeing that the internal guards were going everywhere, he just walked towards the old dilapidated yard.
"There's food!"
[Reading welfare] pay attention to the public.
A eunuch squatting near the wellhead of the hospital took a piece of broken porcelain bowl and took cold water. When he saw the rice delivery man, he immediately shouted with joy.
As soon as the sound came out, people rushed out of the yard.
"Come on..."
Most of these eunuchs were disheveled and shabby. Most of them rushed forward. Some people who looked old and weak were eager with long sticks.
No matter old or young, these people all have the same characteristic - they are all thin.
It is said that they only eat this meal every day and may not be able to eat enough.
"Give it to me!"
"I have to take two today! The old Eunuch in my room couldn't get up and asked me to take it for him!"
"Bah! Don't be deceived! I clearly saw you eat both bowls of rice that day!"
"Come on, stop arguing... Be careful to annoy your father-in-law. We can't eat anyone today..."
Hearing this reminder, everyone was afraid and quietly looked at Xiao Chenzi with uneasy eyes.
Xiaochenzi's eyes swept through the people in turn. Even though he could not see whether it was joy or anger, he still made these eunuchs who had learned many lessons in ordinary days very uneasy.
When one of the young eunuchs with disorderly hair touched xiaochenzi's line of sight, he immediately looked stunned and opened his mouth. When he was about to speak, xiaochenzi shook his head slightly, with a sense of stopping in his eyes.
Or the identity difference at this moment is too large. The eunuch who did not put xiaochenzi in his eyes in the past quickly nodded at this time, and the eagerness and kindness from the bottom of his eyes almost overflowed.
He was the last one to come forward to receive the meal.
It was the first time he had such patience, and the reason why he would do so naturally had his own careful thinking.
In addition to talking to old friends, maybe you can take one or two more steamed buns with the friendship of this old acquaintance.
Among acquaintances, xiaochenzi is always famous for his good temper.
Sure enough, when he came forward, there were still two or three steamed buns left in the steamed bread basket on the stone table. The steamed bread was dry and hard, but it also made him swallow his saliva. Today he sent vegetable soup. When such steamed bread was broken and soaked in the soup, he was most satisfied!
"It's all for you."
Xiao Chenzi whispered, "come with me first."
The eunuch nodded and followed xiaochenzi to an empty utility room.
Everyone was buried in eating, and no one noticed their movements.
"Xiao Chenzi... I heard that you were assigned to serve in front of the imperial court a few days ago. How can you do such a job now?" the eunuch asked in a low voice as soon as he got into the house.
Did you make a mistake like him and get punished?
He felt that Xiao Chenzi was not very smart. Sure enough, he couldn't catch any good job. If such a good opportunity was given to him
Thinking of this, the eunuch smiled bitterly in his heart.
Now, don't brag.
"Not at all." xiaochenzi said with a smile, "I just came to see you specially."
No
The little eunuch poured out a gap at the bottom of his heart, but more attention was still on the last half sentence of Xiao Chenzi - specially came to see him?
"We all went to the palace together at the beginning. This friendship can't be compared with others. I can't help you with other things. So I came to see you." xiaochenzi looked sympathetically and said, "xiaojiezi, you must have had a hard time these days?"
The eunuch reluctantly showed a wry smile: "you see..."
He said, his eyes were slightly red: "you still miss me. I'm very grateful that you can come to see me this time."
This sentence is not a lie.
When ordinary people are in difficult adversity, they always pay special attention to the kindness given by others.
"Don't say that first, you eat first." xiaochenzi handed over a full ladle of vegetable soup.
The eunuch nodded and took it, almost wolfing down the steamed bread.
Even though this meal was comparable to the usual two, it still didn't make him feel full.
At this time, xiaochenzi suddenly touched his arms: "by the way, I brought this back to you."
He opened the layers of oil paper, and the eunuch's eyes lit up - it's chicken legs!
He doesn't know how long he hasn't seen meat!
The greasy chicken legs seem to be stained with sesame oil. Just smelling it, it can kill people.
The eunuch almost grabbed it and bit it down. The meat was tender and the skin was rotten, and the aroma filled his lips and teeth for a moment.
At this interval, xiaochenzi noticed a large red and swollen scratch on his left forearm, so he asked, "how did the injury on your arm come from?"
"Well... I don't know what insect bit..." the eunuch almost chewed the bones and swallowed them. With the chewing action, he said vaguely.
"It's very biting. It's hot in summer. Don't turn pus again... Do you have anyone who knows medical skills here? If so, let someone take a look."
