The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 110
"Cinnabar..."

Yun Ruochen muttered to himself, pressed his fingertips on a certain line of the medical book, and meditated for a long time.

This book is full of common prescriptions, Yun Ruochen doesn't know much about medicine, but at first glance, he doesn't see any flaws.Only this recipe, why does it look so familiar?
She put down the medical book first, jumped out of bed and opened the bookcase on the small drawer beside her bed.She lived in the Tsinghua Palace, which was a four-step bed commonly used by noble daughters. Once the curtains were closed, there was a small world inside, complete with beds, clothes hangers, hidden drawers, and toilets.

Following the hobbies of her previous life, she would often lie on the bed and read for a while before she would fall asleep, so the books she often read were placed on the shelf next to the bed.

Among these books, in addition to the classics and historical books arranged by the gentlemen, there are also several spell books left by her mother.Of course, she had carefully wrapped the book of spells in another book cover, and others would not be able to discover the mystery if they didn't look carefully.

It was already night at this time, and in the dim light of the windproof lantern on Ba Bu's bed, she pulled out a spell book from the book case.

"I should have seen it here..."

She has a very good memory. Although she can read ten lines at a glance, she can never forget it for a long time.The second half of this book is about refining medicine, because she is not proficient in this technique, so she doesn't read it many times.

However, she remembered seeing a certain prescription in Zhu's medical book from her mother's book.

"Cinnabar... Zhusha..." She searched carefully page by page.

"Have it!"

Yun Ruochen whispered in his heart, put the two books together, and carefully compared them.

As the name of the medicine and the dosage gradually matched, her expression became more complicated.

In Huaxia medicine, cinnabar is not a rare drug, mainly used for calming the nerves and detoxifying, clearing the heart and calming convulsions, reducing fire and calming the mind.However, the substances contained in cinnabar itself are actually very poisonous to the human body. Later, doctors did not prescribe this medicine very much.Only some ancient recipes still use cinnabar.

However, cinnabar is an extremely important ingredient in Taoist alchemy.Warlocks can hardly do alchemy without cinnabar.

The name of this prescription in the medical books left by Zhu Taiyi is "Anshen Decoction".But the exact same prescription was written as "Lihun Pill" in Yun Ruochen's mother's book!
"Is it the only problem with this prescription?"

Yun Ruochen felt that he had found a breakthrough, and continued to look for the medical books of Zhu Taiyi.

She searched for a long time, and finally found three problematic prescriptions in this book.The so-called "problem" is that the medicines used in these three prescriptions are all things that warlocks would use when refining elixirs, and they don't seem to be common in ordinary decoctions.

If this book is a medical book commonly used by Imperial Physician Zhu, then...the inheritance of Imperial Physician Zhu's medical skills is very problematic.

He is not as simple as an ordinary doctor, maybe he was born as an alchemist!
Yun Ruochen's spirit was greatly lifted.

She thought of another very important thing—Physician Zhu was favored by the emperor, and he could often go to the inner palace to take care of the emperor because he quickly made the emperor's body healthy.

The root cause of the dilapidated body of Emperor Yuan Qi was that he took the so-called "longevity elixir" refined by the alchemists in the palace all the year round, and that he was poisoned by the erysipelas that echoed the incense of dementia on New Year's Eve the year before last.

Therefore, the other doctors in Tai Hospital are not good at treating his illness, and they have not seen results for a long time.If Imperial Physician Zhu himself was born as a alchemist in alchemy, then it would make sense!

Experts in refining medicine should also have their own unique methods for dissolving erysipelas.As far as Yun Ruochen knew, there was another way to make a person suffering from erysipelas recover quickly—that is, "fight poison with poison"!
Thinking of this, Yun Ruochen was terrified.

If Imperial Physician Zhu used "to fight poison with poison" on the emperor, on the surface it was normal medicine for the emperor's recuperation, but in fact he administered heavier medicine to stimulate the emperor's potential, making the emperor look good for a period of time... The result will be suddenly Sudden death, what should I do?
"Why was I so lazy before and refused to learn how to refine medicine!"

Yun Ruochen bitterly reflected on himself.She was a talented person in her previous life, and she learned a lot of her master's skills very early on, and she reached a very high level in both spells and qi training.But people's energy is limited after all, she put most of her energy on those aspects, and only learned some basics in studying medicine and refining medicine, without further study.

Her master's school was not originally based on alchemy.I thought that there was still a lot of time, and I could slowly practice Qimen techniques one by one, but I encountered that accident.

Now she thinks that if the other party really plays this trick, the consequences... will be disastrous!

Could it be that I think too much?

Yun Ruochen couldn't be sure of his inferences based on Zhu's suspicious medical book.Even if Imperial Physician Zhu was born as an alchemist, he might not have used the method of fighting poison with poison to recuperate the emperor.

It's better not to distract yourself, first find a way to find out the origin of Zhu Taiyi first.

She fell into thought again.

In the same dark night, in an inconspicuous farmhouse in the mountains in the southwest, a man in black robe stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the dark night sky.

The deep mountains are silent, the cries of wild animals and night owls come and go, mixed with the sound of the trees in the mountains being blown by the cold wind, it is the eternal theme song of the night in the mountains.

The man in black robe listened attentively to the nocturne. After a long, long time, some pointed ears moved suddenly, and his eyes were fixed on a certain place in the sky.

"Whoosh", a gray pigeon landed on the back of his raised hand from mid-air, flapped its wings, and made a chirping sound.

There was a trace of smile on the man's wax-like face, and he quickly untied a small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg.

He turned and went back to the house, but there was no light in the house.

The people sitting in this room don't need candles and lanterns. They can easily see things in the dark as if they were in the day.

"Heh, there's news from Beijing."

"It's even better than we expected. What a coincidence... There are concubines who can conceive..."

"Things have come to this point, our plan can continue to advance."

"Will anyone be aware of our real plan?"

"impossible……"

"Hehehe", the black-robed man who was receiving the pigeons in the courtyard laughed sarcastically: "The old emperor is self-willed, the prince... that is also worthy of being called the prince? Stupid as a pig, he can't do anything."

"And we have already arranged it, this time, we will never fail again!"

Another voice sounded from the corner: "That King Cheng, is there any problem?"

"No problem. He's completely our puppet."

"Even his daughter, the little princess, is ours..."

Several men discussed for a while, then all laughed with satisfaction.

Although he has failed many times in the past, this time... Daqing's world will definitely be shaken.Chaos means chaos, so they have a chance!

Don't worry, the matter is still in the brewing stage, it will take a while before it will explode...

At that time, Daqing is hard to save even a god!
Those who planned in the dark did not expect that at the most critical point in the heart of the capital, a girl has already sensed the coming crisis.

The seventh day, people's day.

Yun Ruochen regained some energy for the time being, and was able to walk around the various palaces for a while.Naturally, she would go to the emperor's place every day.Cultivating feelings is like simmering soup, you can't rush it, and you can't withdraw the fire.

Showing her sense of presence in front of the emperor every day, and letting the old man look at her pitiful blue and purple forehead, maybe it can also arouse some meager feelings of guilt in him.

Indeed, she has been eating with Emperor Yuan Qi in the Jingxin Hall for the past few days, and Emperor Yuan Qi would occasionally ask her in a blunt tone, "Are you still dizzy?"For the die-hard old emperor, this occasional gleam of warmth is already a miracle.

Yun Ruochen didn't follow the usual routine and said "I'm fine, thank you Grandpa for your concern", but said pitifully that he couldn't stand still these days, and his vision was blurry.

Hearing what she said, Emperor Yuan Qi reprimanded her for "laying down obediently when she is not in good health, and running around to do something", and she silently rubbed the corner of her clothes without making a sound.

With her increasingly sophisticated acting skills, she well interpreted the image of a filial daughter who "fears that the emperor is still angry with her father, and even if she is sick, she will come to please the emperor".

Emperor Yuan Qi had little affection for his own family, but he still appreciated the pure filial piety of his granddaughter.For this reason, he did not continue to trouble the prince with Ai Wu and Wu Di.

As the foreign ministers' discussions about Chen Concubine intensified, Emperor Yuan Qi actually regretted that he was too impulsive at the time, and he was rushing to put the green hat on his head.

He didn't know why he was so easily irritated. He had obviously taken a lot of soothing soup these days, and his mind was much calmer... Why did he get angry so easily that day?

Emperor Yuan Qi didn't think too much, now he just wanted to make people calm down the outside discussion.At this time, he also felt that it was impossible for the crown prince to have anything to do with Concubine Chen.

But the scandal spread quickly, but it was difficult to calm down quickly.The important thing is that this matter cannot be clearly ordered to say "you can no longer discuss the royal incest scandal", isn't that trying to cover up?

While Emperor Yuan Qi was secretly annoyed by this scandal, Yun Ruochen had already started to conduct more investigations.

"Are you going back to the Prince's Mansion?"

Concubine Duan looked at Yun Ruochen in front of her, and said hesitantly: "You are still weak, so it's not easy to go out of the palace."

"My lady..."

Yun Ruochen stepped forward, knelt down slowly on her lap, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Chen'er is very worried about my father. These days...the palace has a lot of talk. Chen'er always wants to go back and have a look father king."

Concubine Duan Gui sighed, after thinking about it, she also felt that Yun Ruochen's words made sense.Since the Great Court Meeting, the prince has not been out of the mansion.Thinking about the prince's temperament carefully, I'm afraid he will get sick because of this matter?
Let Yun Ruochen go back and persuade him to relax, that's fine.

She didn't know that Yun Ruochen's real purpose of returning to the Prince's Mansion was not only to visit his father, but also to contact Nie Shen.
