Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 101 Blindly Prohibited Drugs

Huo Mingzhu thought really well, Sulu didn't notice any movement by the lotus pond, so she came back first, Huo Mingzhu walked in, and said: "Sulu, find a small box."

"What are you doing?" Su Yu followed in confusion.

"Go get it and talk about it later." Huo Mingzhu glanced at her and urged.

"Oh! Alright..." Su Hui was very curious: "What size box do you want? Is this small box for prunes okay?"

"It's best if it's tightly covered." Huo Mingzhu said again.

"It's really troublesome, miss!" Su Wei muttered, but after a while, she brought a porcelain jar, handed it to Huo Mingzhu, and said, "Hey, miss, this is used to pickle when I was in the border town. The green fruit maker is well covered."

Just approaching Huo Mingzhu, Su Ling suddenly covered her nose and said, "Miss, what does it smell like? It's so pungent? What did you bring back?"

Huo Mingzhu put the residue wrapped in a veil into the porcelain jar, and handed it closer to Sulu to see: "This, do you know what kind of medicine it is?"

Su Hui stepped back in disgust, and glanced a few times: "It smells bad and disgusting, how did I know it? Miss, how did you get it? I don't know what to say about you for bringing such a terrible thing back... ..."

There is no way to count on Sufu, Huo Mingzhu covered the lid of the jar, the smell was cut off, and it faded after a while, Sufu didn't give up, and lit the incense again, which completely covered the smell .Su Hui looked at the small box, and knew that Huo Mingzhu would not just make some inexplicable things, so she walked over, poured tea for Huo Mingzhu, and asked: "Miss, tell me, how did you come here? I'm going to become a female spy, and I don't understand what I'm doing unless I tell you."

Huo Mingzhu saw that Sulu was about to suffocate, so she gently tapped the porcelain pot with one hand, looked up at Sulu and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for Qing'er by the lotus pond? She didn't go There, I came across them on the way back, they buried these things, I don’t know what they are, I’ll put them away and have a look, maybe I’ll dig them up tomorrow, but they’re gone.”

Su Hui said in astonishment: "Miss, what do you mean... Qing'er, the girl next to Madam, has been sneaking around to bury things tonight? Madam was diagnosed by the doctor as pregnant? I heard that for the fetus in the womb, besides Some medicines for recuperating the body, you can't take any medicine. The residue in this jar looks so disgusting, it can't be a tonic..."

Sulu's mind was quite clear, and her analysis was very thorough, so Huo Mingzhu waited for her to finish her astonishment, and then said: "It's meaningless for us to guess here and there, tomorrow you can ask the doctor of 'Ji Shitang', what does he think about these things?" The folk remedies seem to be well-researched, so ask carefully and don't startle the snake."

"Okay, I got it, miss." Su Hui looked at the jar, then thought about Huo Mingzhu's words, and became more and more curious about the contents of the jar, and almost didn't sleep well all night.

On the second day, taking advantage of going to a certain rouge shop for Huo Mingzhu to get a new rouge powder, Su Lan went to the "Jishitang" that passed by yesterday. The doctor still knew her and knew that their masters and servants were generous, so naturally Be polite.

Sulu brought the doctor to the back hall, then showed him the porcelain pot, and said: "Doctor, I have to tell you something. Our house is in a mess. Someone wants to harm our wife. Find out that this medicine is hidden, please help us find out what it is, if you can tell the truth, we will naturally not treat you badly, doctor."

After finishing speaking, Su Huan lifted the lid of the porcelain jar, and the doctor's expression changed immediately when he smelled the medicine dregs: "This... this... this is Zihe chariot!"

"What is Zihe Che?" Su Yu asked stupidly, "Is it poison?"

The doctor's face was serious, seeing Sulu's curious look, he looked at the color of the medicine dregs seriously, and concluded: "This is the residue after Ziheche added a few herbs to make a decoction. It is not poisonous, but the Zihe cart comes out of the woman's body, which is no different from eating a baby. It is said in medical books that it can cure infertility... However, there are laws in this dynasty, because the Zihe cart is very dirty , The imperial court listed it as a banned drug, and you are not allowed to take it privately. This girl, if your wife is framed, you will be trapped in this Zihe cart, and you will be imprisoned if you steal the banned drug!"

Su Hui seemed to have heard the Arabian Nights, and it took a long time to realize: "The doctor means that this medicine can cure infertility, but it is listed as a forbidden medicine by the court and cannot be taken? If you catch it, you will go to jail?"

"Exactly!" The doctor sighed and said, "Girl, hurry up, the shop can't afford such a risk!"

Seeing that the doctor chased me away, Su Yu was not stupid, but she didn't leave. She stared at the doctor and said, "Doctor Ji, you chased me away in such a hurry, wouldn't you go to the police to arrest me? Although I am a girl, But you also know what it means to be wise and protect yourself. You just pretend that you have never met me today, and we can live in peace. If you report to the official, I am afraid I will have to admit that the forbidden drug of Zihe Che is Doctor Ji. You dedicated it to our wife It's..."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The doctor was so frightened that he was half dead, and hurriedly said: "I'm sure I won't talk too much! I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything! Girl, hold your hands high!"

Su Hui remembered Huo Mingzhu's instructions, not to be too violent, and to be kind and powerful. Although she was extremely unhappy, she still took out a piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and slapped it in the doctor's hand, and said with a smile: "We The girl has little knowledge, doctor, don’t be as knowledgeable as us, but we girls also know that those who understand current affairs are heroes, Doctor Ji explained our confusion for us, it is considered to be a great favor to our wife, thank you doctor.”

Saying that, Su Hui picked up the small porcelain pot, turned around and walked out of the medicine shop door, the doctor was beating his feet and chest in his heart, the silver ingot in his hand was neither taken nor thrown.Collecting money is tantamount to taking risks, and being a doctor also has to worry about it. You have to worry about the patient's condition every day, and you have to deal with those people who behave strangely.

……

When Su Lu got this secret, the shock in her heart was no less than the excitement and anxiety of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy just now. Ziheche, forbidden medicine, madam took it, buried the dregs of the medicine, she was really going crazy... If someone saw it, wouldn't the madam be mad? ...

Su Hui hurried all the way back to the General's Mansion, went straight to "Chen Xiang Yuan", was able to catch her breath, and finally saw Huo Mingzhu, only to find that Huo Mingzhu was playing chess with Yu Tong.

Seeing Sulu's impatience, Yu Tong first smiled and asked, "What? Where did Sulu go?"

"I..." Su Hui didn't answer, but looked in Huo Mingzhu's direction.

It was Huo Mingzhu's turn to play chess, and she was too focused on playing chess, so she didn't have time to watch other people's movements. After she dropped a black stone and ate a small piece of Yu Tong's white stone, Huo Mingzhu looked up at Sulu, She smiled and asked: "But let you help me ask if Cheng Ji's rouge has arrived, so that I can give it to my cousin for a try. If not, it's okay. Why are you panicking?"

Su Hui really thinks that her young lady has changed, she has become smart and not arrogant or impetuous. This kind of calmness is really admirable. Her young lady must have guessed her thoughts and possible crises early in the morning. This feeling made Suhui feel strange and a little excited.

She decided to imitate Huo Mingzhu's composure, so she said to Yu Tong, "I'm sorry, Miss Yu, I really didn't get the rouge. Fill it up."
