Chapter 491: Enter the dark court

  Chapter 491 Entering the Dark Court

  Don’t take something to treat snakes and rats!

  Madam Jiang thought a little nervously, and then she said: "Manny, this smells like medicine..."

  The smell of medicine?

  The queen frowned slightly, and said quickly: "Let me see this palace."

  Grandma Jiang handed over the veil.

   Then I saw my wife put the veil between her nose and sniffed vigorously.

   "..." Mother Jiang thought silently—this is also Tianfu.

   "It doesn't smell like poison..." The queen breathed a sigh of relief.

  The medicine used for poisonous snakes and mice, the smell is often pungent.

   And she smelled the scent on the veil, but it was relatively mild, and it looked slimy, like a concoction that had been boiled...

  Where did Tianfu stole the food, or was it...someone fed it?

  But who would give Tianfu medicine?

After all, he was born as a half wild child, and he is also a leader who has crawled out of the wild cats in the palace with his own strength. He has probably experienced a lot. Therefore, Tianfu has always been quite keen on distinguishing danger, let's see. It doesn't look like it has been forced by someone...

   "You still need to find an imperial doctor to show me you..." The queen confessed to Grandma Jiang: "In the past, it was always the doctor Luo, so please call the doctor Luo."

  Grandma Jiang answered "Yes", and then sent a Gong E to call for Doctor Luo.

Dr. Luo was originally not a veterinarian. However, his medical skills are not very good. On the contrary, he takes care of the birds and cats kept in each palace quite well. Reality.

  Doctor Luo came over soon.

Dr. Luo, who looks less than 40, has a slightly rounded figure and a round face. He looks quite blessed, or because of long-term dealings with Mao children, his clothes are always stained and unclean. soft fur.

  "Last night I accidentally told him to steal half a jar of dried yellow croaker. I saw that it was eating up this morning. I especially asked the doctor Luo to have a look." The queen said while sitting in the chair.

"Eating food can be big or small..." Dr. Luo took Tianfu from Mother Jiang, tapped her furry belly with her fingers, and checked the cat’s mental condition. It's...but you have to eat less on weekdays, just look at how thick the meat is."

  Tianfu yelled a few meows after hearing the words, his eyes looked a little unkind.

  Doctor Luo raised his eyebrows: "Why are you still cursing..."

  He has been dealing with cats, cats and dogs for more than ten years, and he still has this distinguishing ability!

  The queen laughed helplessly.

  Every time Dr. Luo reminded Tianfu to eat less, she would always be scolded--she thought, Tianfu probably thought that the same round Dr. Luo was in charge of its appetite, and it was somewhat unconvincing...

Doctor Luo was about to put down the cat. When he took some medicine out of the medicine box, his nose moved slightly.

   Then suddenly he brought the cat close to him.

  Tianfu stretched out his paws against his face, and every layered chin seemed to clamor for resistance.

  But as a veteran Doctor Luo still succeeded, he cleverly opened the cat’s mouth and carefully looked at the medicine remaining in it.

  "This is..." Doctor Luo, who had the answer, was a little surprised: "I don't know where the medicine that the mother took to Tianfu came from?"

  In this gap, Tianfu waited for the opportunity to escape from his arms and ran away quickly, cursing as he ran.

   Seeing that he seemed to know something, the queen looked as usual and asked instead: "But is there any problem?"

"There is no problem. This medicine is suitable for both humans and animals... but this medicine is not easy to grow. It needs to be kept in a dark place, and it must be watered with the concoction. The medicine nourishes the medicine, the dosage of the concoction is also very particular.

Grand Physician Luo said: "Weichen tried to raise it a few times, and none of them have been able to raise flowers... Now these people in the imperial medical office are too troublesome and don’t like to play with this. I saw someone raise it last time. It’s still under my master. He also came up with this method of nourishing medicine with medicine."

  This is a few casual chats.

  The queen listened very seriously, but she only asked a question on her face: "I don't know which expert Dr. Luo Tai inherited?"

"I don't know the queen empress." Speaking of the old master, the doctor Luo felt a little complicated: "My master's surname is Qiao, who was also in the Imperial Medical Office... but he passed away 18 years ago. "

  The Queen's heart was slightly shaken.

  Qiao, who passed away eighteen years ago, was an imperial doctor...

  Who else besides Joe Bing? !

   "I have never heard of it. Eighteen years ago, the palace was still in Ningyang." The queen said calmly.

Doctor Luo smiled and nodded. He didn't mention the old things, but couldn't help but repeat the question: "I don't know who prescribes the medicine Tianfu is taking?"

  He has never seen him in the pharmacy of the Imperial Medical Office.

  "The younger siblings in the palace sent someone to send them earlier, and there is also a cat in the palace. The younger siblings have always been concerned. This medicine is said to cure the accumulation of food, so they were asked to feed them."

  Master Luo nodded clearly.

  Oh, Dingnan Palace...

   Then there is nothing unusual.

   "Since I have taken this medicine, the Weichen doesn’t need to prepare any more, just don’t worry."

  The queen nodded slightly, "With the words of Doctor Luo, this palace can really feel relieved. Doctor Lao has gone this time."

   "The Niang Niang made a serious statement."

  Luo’s imperial physician gave a ceremony: “In this case, the Weichen retired.”

  "Grandma, send me to Doctor Luo."

  Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing, the hall gradually returned to silence, and the expression in the queen's eyes slowly changed.

  Tianfu has been to the dark court more than once...

  Er. Luo said that the medicine that Tianfu took today is very rare, and his master, Dr. Qiao, is one of them...

  Is this really just a coincidence?

  Or, in the dark court, indeed, the person she was looking for was hidden?

   "Send someone to ask Xiaochenzi, what the palace told him to do before, but it has been arranged properly—"

"Yes."

  The queen looked at the looming pine landscape outside the half-opened window lattice, standing still for a long time.

  She is bound to let people go to the dark court to explore...

   is just to be safe, and it is destined not to take risks, and in this way, it is destined to only act by chance, and it is impossible to really investigate the dark court in a short period of time.

  But it’s a little different now...

If Tianfu really has some connection with the person she is looking for, then Xiao Chenzi will no longer be aimless in the process of investigating, and there will be more convenient places to start. .

  ……

  At noon, it is like a blazing sun.

   "Go inside later, don’t stay long, don’t cause me any trouble..."

  In a narrow alley not far from the dark court, several inmates were whispering in one place.

"Don't worry, brothers, don't you know me? You are born without the courage to cause trouble! I just want to see Xiaojiezi... I don’t have much money, so I will give my brothers some wine later. eat……"

  The inmate who had spoken earlier took the money bag and squeezed it, and then smiled: "Okay, go back quickly, don’t delay the hour."

   "Hey!" Xiaochenzi nodded hurriedly.

  After that, he exchanged clothes and hats with the inmate, and followed the other inmates, carrying the food bucket and the basket to the dark court.

  This is the first time Xiaochenzi has stepped into the dark court.

  It was midday, and it was like a scorching stove. The unmanned weeds on both sides of the blue brick road were scorched and rolled down by the leaves. Looking around, there were signs of dilapidation everywhere.

   "Niang, the slave is wronged! The slave is really wronged!"

A cry suddenly came from the row of low houses in front of him, Xiao Chenzi looked curiously, and the inmate next to him said indifferently: "There is nothing to see, lunatic, there are too many here. "

  Xiaochenzi gave a "tsk" and shook his head, without saying much or asking.

"The person you want to see is in the yard to the east." After walking a little further, the other inner supervisors stopped, and one of them pointed a direction to Xiao Chenzi: "Go ahead, remember Don't delay for too long."

  Xiao Chenzi looked in the direction he was pointing, and nodded in response.

When he was about to pass with the food bucket, he suddenly heard the inner supervisor next to him confessed: "If you encounter someone who is unruly and wants to make trouble, take the whip off, and when you see the whip, it is more honest than a dog to keep them. "

  Listening to this tone of arrogance, Xiao Chenzi looked at the whip wrapped around the handle of the food bucket. Even though he felt a little uncomfortable, he smiled knowingly on his face: "Okay, I understand."

  Seeing that the several inner prisons were all going everywhere, he just stepped forward to the dilapidated old courtyard.

   "I have food!"

  An **** who squatted by the well in the courtyard, took a piece of broken porcelain bowl and took a sip of cold water, saw the food delivery person and immediately shouted with joy.

  As soon as the voice came out, people soon rushed out from all over the courtyard.

"quick……"

  Most of these eunuchs have disheveled hair and worn-out clothes. Most of them rushed forward quickly, and there were also people who looked old and weak with long sticks full of eager eyes.

  Regardless of whether they are young or old, these people all have the same characteristics-they are all thin and thin.

  It is said that they only have one meal a day, and they may not be able to get enough to eat.

   "Give it to me!"

  "I have to take two of them today! The old **** in my room can't get up, ask me to help him with it!"

   "Bah! Don't be fooled! That day I clearly saw you ate both bowls of rice by yourself!"

   "Once you are done, stop making noise...Beware of annoying father-in-law, no one of us can eat today..."

   Hearing this reminder, everyone was afraid, and quietly looked at Xiao Chenzi with anxious eyes.

  Xiaochenzi’s eyes swept across the crowd one by one, even though he couldn’t see the joy or the anger, he still made these eunuchs who had taken many lessons on weekdays been extremely disturbed.

When one of the young eunuchs with messy hair touched Xiao Chenzi’s sight, he was shocked and opened his mouth. When he was about to speak, Xiao Chenzi shook his head slightly and looked at him. It means to stop.

  Or the status disparity at this moment is too great. The **** who had never put Xiaochenzi in his eyes in the past nodded quickly at this time, the eagerness and kindness in his eyes almost overflowed.

  He was the last one to come forward to receive the meal.

  This is the first time that he has been so patient, and the reason why he did this is naturally his own careful thinking.

  In addition to talking to the deceased, maybe you can get one or two more steamed buns with the friendship of this old acquaintance.

  Among the people I know, Xiaochenzi has always been known for his good temper.

But as expected, when he stepped forward, there were two or three steamed buns left in the steamed buns basket on the stone table. The buns were dry and hard, but they made him swallow. Today, he was given vegetable soup. This kind of buns broke. Soak it in the soup if it is broken, it is the most full of it!

   "It's all for you."

  Xiaochenzi whispered: "Come with me first."

  The **** nodded, and followed Xiaochenzi to an unmanned utility room.

  Everyone was immersed in eating, no one noticed their movements.

   "Xiao Chenzi... Didn't you hear that you were transferred to serve in front of you a few days ago? How can you do such an errand now?" As soon as he entered the house, the **** couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

  Could it be that he was punished for making the same mistakes as him?

   Going forward, he felt that Xiaochenzi was not very smart. Sure enough, no matter how good the job was, he couldn’t grasp it. If such a good opportunity were given to him...

   Thinking of this, the **** gave a wry smile in his heart.

  Now in this situation, don't brag about it.

   "Not really." Xiaochenzi smiled and said, "I just came to see you specially."

no……

  There was a gap in the heart of the little eunuch, but more attention was still on the half of the sentence after Xiao Chenzi-specifically to see him?

"We all entered the palace together at the beginning. This friendship is incomparable to others. I can't help you with other tasks, so I will come and see you." Xiao Chenzi said with sympathy and sympathy: "Xiaojiezi, you these days It must have been difficult, right?"

  The **** barely showed a wry smile: "You have also seen it..."

  As he said, his eyes were reddening: "You are still thinking about me. I am very grateful that you can come to see me this time."

  This sentence is not a lie.

  Ordinary people always value the kindness of others when they are in difficult adversity.

  "Don't talk about this first, you will eat first." Xiao Chenzi handed over a full ladle of vegetable soup.

  The **** nodded and took it, almost devouring the steamed bun.

  Even though this meal was comparable to two ordinary meals, it still didn't make him feel full.

  At this time, Xiao Chenzi suddenly touched her arms: "By the way, I brought you this."

  He uncovered what was wrapped in the oily paper, and the eunuch's eyes lit up-it was a chicken leg!

  He doesn’t know how long he hasn’t seen meat!

  The greasy chicken thigh seems to be covered with sesame sesame oil. Just smelling it can kill people.

  The **** almost snatched it over, bite it down, the flesh was tender and the skin rotten, and the fragrance filled his lips and teeth for a moment.

  In this gap, Xiao Chenzi noticed a large red and swollen scratch on his left forearm, and asked, “How did the injury on your arm come from?”

   "This... I don't know what the bug bit..." The **** almost chewed up all the bones and swallowed it, and said in a vague tone as he chewed.

   "Looking at the bite not lightly, the summer sky is hot, don't turn your head back to pus...Is there anyone who knows medical skills here? If so, please let me have a look."

   Good night everyone (Happy Holidays)
