Chapter 465 Checking the Powder
Chapter 465 Checking the Powder
Upon hearing this, Queen Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes widened slightly.
Surprised, angry.
But only for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to his normal state.
She bowed slightly and said, "I will follow your Majesty's orders. I will have the maid open your purse."
Turn around and gesture.
Linglong then said to He Shuangying, who was still holding the purse tightly, "Miss He, please hold on to my purse and I will open it for you, okay?"
"Nothing is wrong."
He Shuangying concealed her fleeting smug look and immediately pulled hard, completely removing the purse from Linglong's waist.
Then, under the attention of all the concubines in the hall, she opened her purse.
Concubine De, Concubine Shun, Yu Sujin and others were nearby, so they all came over to take a look.
"You, go get some clean plates and dishes." He Shuangying casually instructed a palace maid who was serving the meal.
The palace maid did not dare to delay and quickly called her companions to go to the side hall where the food was prepared to get the plates and dishes.
He Shuangying poured out the medicine powder and residue from her purse, sorted them according to color and particle shape, and used a silver spoon to transfer them to different plates.
Soon, seven plates were filled.
At this time, the medical officer serving in the back hall was summoned to identify the medicinal materials.
When he saw these plates, he recognized them one by one.
"Mint powder, crushed borneol, vetiver powder..."
Suddenly paused.
"This is……"
He Shuangying raised her voice slightly: "What is this?"
The medical officer said, "This is... Purple Kudzu Vine Powder."
He Shuangying frowned, "You should make sure you know what it is first."
"My lord, I will not be mistaken. This powder is indeed the extremely valuable and rare Yuanhu Purple Kudzu Vine Powder," the medical officer explained. "Purple Kudzu Vine clears away heat and detoxifies, and can treat dizziness. It's a precious medicinal herb. The Purple Kudzu Vine grown in the Yuanhu region has the best medicinal properties, but the yield is low, so it's relatively scarce. Even the imperial pharmacy doesn't have much."
"Isn't this purple rose pollen? The same stuff that gave the princess a rash."
"My Lord, this is not it."
"You're a medical officer, so you might not be familiar with identifying medicinal herbs. You should ask an old man from the Imperial Pharmacy to come over and carefully identify them."
The medical officer was unhappy when He Shuangying said this.
No one would be happy if their professionalism was questioned.
"My lady, although I do not work in the Imperial Pharmacy, I have been learning to identify medicinal herbs since I was young. If I could mistake purple kudzu vine powder for purple rose powder, I would not be able to stay in the Imperial Hospital. As long as my lady can prove me wrong, I will resign and return to my hometown to farm."
Linglong spoke at this time.
"My dear He, you have seen clearly the seven kinds of medicinal powder. Now, do you still insist that the purple rose powder is in my purse?"
He Shuangying's face changed suddenly.
He looked at this, then that, and then carefully looked at the seven kinds of medicinal powder in the dish. He was a little at a loss for a moment, but he was still trying his best to be patient and not panic.
At this time, Ming Guipin walked out of the back hall holding the eldest princess who had just woken up.
The imperial physician was accompanying him.
He stepped forward and reported that the eldest princess's rash symptoms had been curbed, and that she just needed to pay attention to her recovery. Her skin should be back to normal in two or three days.
The eldest princess hugged Ming Guipin's neck. She was in high spirits after waking up. Her dark eyes looked around the hall and she stared curiously at the row of plates on the table.
I whispered to my mother, "What is it?"
The hall was quiet at this time, and everyone could hear her whisper.
Queen Yan took two steps forward and smiled at the child, saying, "This is medicine for dizziness. You can't eat it, and you can't play with it. It's meant to be kept in your purse. Does your face itch? Don't scratch it. I'll ask the imperial physician to prescribe some anti-itch medicine for you. I'll put it in your purse, too. Play with it, and it'll stop itching. What do you think?"
The eldest princess shyly leaned close to Ming Guipin's face and nodded slightly.
Queen Yan asked Concubine Ming to return to her seat.
Then he addressed He Shuangying, "He, you have slandered my maid as being related to the eldest princess' illness. Your words and actions are outrageous. I will punish you by having you face the wall for three days in the Palace Administration Office and copy the Palace Rules and the Heart Sutra one hundred times!"
He Shuangying was already panicking at this time.
what happened?
Didn’t Cui Liang in front of the emperor say that he would ensure that there would be “something” in Linglong’s purse, and that she just had to act according to the plan?
Why is there nothing wrong with my wallet?
"He is just a small medical officer, maybe he made a mistake. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to check the powder first." He Shuangying was unwilling to give in.
Empress Yan's face darkened. "Why are you so sure that my maid's purse is inappropriate? He Cainu, you seem to have said a lot tonight. Won't you explain?"
Queen Yan thought to herself, fortunately Sister Zhao had secretly reminded her in time before the banquet, otherwise Linglong’s wallet would really be in trouble!
This guy surnamed He actually dared to challenge her.
I am so impatient to live!
