Lan Zhaoyi was so scared that he didn't even care about his palace maid, and he crawled out of the door of the cold palace and ran to the palace road desperately.
The people behind were hurriedly chasing her, but they didn't know why, but they never caught up. She didn't think too much in panic, just as if she was forced out of running potential, she ran forward all the way.
"Who!" When approaching the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, a guard finally stopped her. Lan Zhaoyi was soaked all over, and fell to the ground in embarrassment: "There is an assassin!"
The guard was at a loss and looked up behind her: "No one."
Lan Zhaoyi was taken aback for a moment, then looked back, and under the rain curtain, the person chasing her really disappeared.
"Where did you come from?" The guard grabbed her and asked.
"Youyang Palace." Lan Zhaoyi trembled: "But don't send me back, I want to see the emperor!"
You still want to see the emperor like this? The guard is very disdainful, grabbing her will be sent to Youyang Palace.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" Lan Zhaoyi hurriedly said, "I have something to report to Empress Huabi. If you tell me, she will want to see me!"
"Emperor Huali is waiting for her bed, where can I see you?" The guard sneered, "I'll go back first and see you tomorrow!"
"No!" Lan Zhaoyi looked at the road when she came in horror: "There are assassins in Youyang Palace. If you send me back, I will be dead! Please! I beg you! I'll wait here!"
The rain continued, her hair in a bun was loose, and her hair stuck to her face, looking a bit scary. The guard didn't seem to listen to her at all, insisting on pulling her to the Youyang Palace.
"What's the matter?" A woman's voice sounded nearby: "It's so loud, so I'm not afraid to startle Shengjia?"
Hua 嫔 turned her head and saw that it was the maid of the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and quickly said: "I am Lan Zhaoyi, I want to see the Hua 嫔 lady!"
Qing Niao walked over holding the umbrella and glanced at her: "Lan Zhaoyi?"
"Yes! Your master came to me during the day and asked for a prescription. I have a prescription here! I can write it to her right away, please, let them not send me back to Youyang Palace!"
With a look of embarrassment on his face, he said with a green curl: "It's the prescription or something, my master shouldn't care too much. You are the Zhaoyi who is locked in the cold palace? You run out like this, but you will be punished."
"I..." Lan Zhaoyi was anxious: "I don't want to die yet! Concubine Hui is going to kill!"
Qing Niao was taken aback, as if she was taken aback, then glanced at the guard next to him, and said: "Let's take her into the Hall of Nurturing Heart, put her in the side hall, I'll ask what happened. ."
"Yes." The guard responded, escorting her to follow Qing Niao forward.
Lan Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face mixed with rain and tears, and looked back with lingering fear, walking faster than the person holding her.
The main hall had already turned off the lights, and Qing Qi led her into the side hall, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said, "You can write a prescription, then write it."
Lan Zhaoyi pursed her lips, glanced at her and said, "Can I stay here overnight?"
"The maidservant doesn't know the rules in this palace." Qing Niao said in a daze, "If you want to spend the night here, that's okay. When the master wakes up tomorrow, the maidservant will go and tell you."
Looks like a new palace lady? Lan Zhaoyi was relieved, and took a while to calm down before writing.
"What kind of prescription is this?" Qing Niao asked curiously, "Drugged?"
"Your master wants it, I don't know what she is doing with it, but it doesn't matter to me if it is given." The voice was still a little trembling, and Lan Zhaoyi was obviously scared. Everyone trembles a little: "This recipe is not spread."
Qing Niao nodded her head as if she did not understand. After seeing her finish writing, she put it away casually, pointed to the bed and said, "You have a good rest. I'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Seeing the bed and the quilt, Lan Zhaoyi was almost moved to cry, took off his wet clothes, changed into a maid’s bedding, and rolled in.
Qing Niao closed the door for her, sent someone to look after the doors and windows, and then quietly entered the main hall and put the prescription on the table.
"Okay, light the lamp, I didn't fall asleep." Huachun's voice rang in the inner hall, frightened Qing Qi, and quickly lit the palace lantern, opened the curtain at the partition, and passed the prescription.
Both the emperor and Huachun did not fall asleep, and took the prescription, Huachun leaned on the emperor to look carefully for a long time.
"Do you know medicinal materials?"
"I don't understand."
"What's the use of that?" The emperor pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to grab the prescription, and glanced at him: "Her drug."
Rolling her eyes, Hua Chun said, "I also know that it is drugged, which is what Lan Zhaoyi confuses in my eyes. Normally drugged drugs are caused by breathing or esophagus. She actually touched a little bit. It can also make people fall in the eyes, so a little research is necessary."
After a glance, the emperor's gaze fell on one or three words: "Mountain flower."
"Huh?" Huachun looked at it, "What happened to Shansi Flower?"
"There should be no such herbs in the palace anymore." The emperor said: "Although Shankan flower is a medicine, it can also paralyze and stun people. It has been used by uneasy and kind people in the palace before. The pharmacy eliminated this medicine and replaced it with other medicinal materials with similar medicinal properties and weak toxicity."
Huachun was shocked, and glanced at the prescription again: "If there is no in the palace, where did she come from?"
"This...I'm afraid I have to ask Concubine Hui." There was a dark light in his eyes, and the emperor looked at her and said: "She has always been in charge of the distribution of materials in the palace."
Concubine Hui? Huachun came a little bit of energy, his waist straightened.
I originally thought that Lan Zhaoyi had taken the things that harmed her on his shoulders, and there was nothing wrong with Concubine Hui, but there was still a dark line here?
After thinking about it, she turned her head and asked Qing Niao: "Do you remember what Ruier said today?"
Qing Yu was puzzled: "What?"
"Concubine Hui doesn't sleep well and likes incense, so many precious medicinal materials of the Royal Pharmacy are monopolized by her to make incense." Huachun raised her eyebrows: "She is in charge of the supplies in the palace. Will someone steal in from outside the palace?"
Qing Qi was taken aback, thought for a while, and nodded: "It's possible."
"Let's not hurry." Huachun put the prescription into Qing Niao's hands: "I will see the royal doctor tomorrow."
"Yes." Qing curled up, his face was reddish and looked at the two people on the bed, and hurriedly backed out.
Feeling the dawn of hope ahead, Huachun was in a great mood, and lay down and howled a wolf.
The emperor blocked his ears, pulled the quilt up and suppressed the dishonest person, and then said: "There is always happiness and anger, which is not good for you."
Cursing his lips, Hua Chun said: "If it wasn't for you alone, would I be so noisy? It must be the kind with a calm face and a smile on the corners of the mouth, okay?"
For a moment, the emperor turned his head and glanced at her, shut up and said nothing.
With a soft snort, Huachun turned over with a smile, finally ready to fall asleep with confidence.
The next day, just after dawn, the imperial doctor who got up early was taken to the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Look at these incenses." Huachun asked with a serious face: "Can you tell what spices and medicinal materials are in the place?"
The imperial doctor was speechless, he was a doctor and not an incense maker. However, the empress in front of her was spoiled, not offended, so she could only discern it carefully, and write her name on the paper while discerning.
After waiting for half an hour, Hua Chun picked up what he had written and glanced at it, and found the three words "shankan flower" accurately.
It's even in incense, and there must be in that palace.
"There is the Imperial Physician Lao." Huachun smiled and nodded, letting Qing Niao send people out, and then sent the palace clerk to the imperial pharmacy to inquire about the situation.
"Niang Niang." Rui Er said: "Lan Zhaoyi is awake and wants to see you."
"Let her in."
"Yes."
After sleeping all night, Lan Zhaoyi's spirit recovered a bit, but his face was still a little pale. When he came in, he knelt down honestly: "Hua 嫔 Empress, the criminal concubine begs Hua 嫔 Empress for help!"
Huachun looked at her curiously: "What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, the Assassin entered the Youyang Palace, the criminal concubine almost died." Lan Zhaoyi gritted her teeth: "The criminal concubine does not want to die so early. Looking at this palace, only the empress can save the criminal concubine, so..."
Huachun waved his hand humbly: "This palace is just a concubine, what can I save you? You should go back soon, lest you get caught out of the cold palace privately and you have to hit the board."
Didn't you mean to win her before? Now she took the initiative to deliver it, why did she refuse? Lan Zhaoyi was very incomprehensible. He looked up at her and said, "You don't want to know why the concubine has acted on you?"
After a slight meal, Hua Chun said, "Isn't it because of jealousy?"
"No!" Lan Zhaoyi said: "Someone ordered the concubine to administer medicine to you, but...what they did later was actually not related to the concubine."
Everyone is a master of whitewashing for themselves, Huachun looked at her indifferently and said: "Even if you say that now, nothing can be changed. Those two eunuchs belong to your palace."
"They are from the palace of the guilty concubine, yes, but they were given to the guilty concubine by the concubine Hui, and they don’t listen to what the guilty concubine says!" Lan Zhaoyi said anxiously:
The empress still doesn’t understand. Who is always attacking people?"
Hua Chun looked blank: "Who?"
Lan Zhaoyi was about to be furious, and pinched the corner of her skirt and said: "It's Concubine Hui!"
"Huh?" Started, Hua Chun looked at her disbelievingly: "How can you slander Concubine Hui like this?"
"The guilty concubine is not slandering her, she is telling the truth!" Lan Zhaoyi's eyes were red: "The guilty concubine did a lot of evil for her, but I didn't expect that the last thing she waited for was the end of her killing! , Going back to the Youyang Palace is a death, the concubine might as well explain the words before death!"
Hua Chun looked at her suspiciously, and Lan Zhaoyi was even more angry with such gaze, and said: "It is Empress Hui Hui who secretly instigated the murder of Nie Cairen a year ago, and now she is going to use the same method to kill. Yours is also Concubine Hui, the concubine is nothing but a knife from beginning to end!"
