Cui Yuanzao could not stay in the palace for a long time, so he left the Daming Palace before dusk.
When Lan Yin rushed back to Shilinyuan, Ling'er was still lighting the lamp and comparing the entry and exit records of the warehouse.
Lan Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had been chatting with Cui Yuanzao all day long, but had forgotten Ling'er here, and she felt a little guilty for some reason.
"Ling'er, go and have a rest." Lan Yin said.
"Thank you Yang Siji, I'm not tired." Linger continued without raising his head.
Lan Yin closed the book in Ling'er's hand with a "pop" sound.
"It's late, go and rest." Lan Yin ordered, "Leave this matter to Wu Dianji and the others tomorrow. Can you help me check if anything unusual happened around Wang Cairen half a month ago?"
Ling'er glanced at Lan Yin, lowered her head and gathered her crotch as a courtesy, and said softly: "Yes, I will definitely live up to my destiny."
Ling'er left Shilinyuan.
Lan Yin heard that the evening drum had finished beating, and all nine gates of the Daming Palace should have been closed. Soon, the Jinwu Guards would start patrolling.
Lan Yin put on her night clothes and prepared to explore the Jinwu Guard's patrol route in case she could enter Zhongshu Province in the front court and Jiaku in Menxia Province next time.
Lan Yin jumped out of the Persimmon Forest Courtyard with several leaps and flew towards the Wangxian Terrace at the highest point of the back court.
With the help of the towering tree, Lan Yin jumped to Wangxiantai. However, Wangxiantai was so powerful that Lan Yin only reached the middle part of Wangxiantai.
Extending to the top of Xieshan Mountain with double eaves, orchids are like spiders, constantly climbing up.
"Master Refiner, everyone sent me to get the elixir. I wonder if Master Refiner is ready?"
Suddenly, a rather familiar voice came vaguely, startling Lan Yin who was climbing up.
Is this the voice of Qiu Gongwu? Is there anyone here now?
Wangxiantai was too high, and Lan Yin, who was at the bottom, couldn't see the situation above clearly. She didn't dare to move rashly and lay motionless on the eaves.
"Eunuch Qiu, wait a moment, I'll get it right away." It was Zhao Guizhen's voice.
After these words, there was no more sound.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was quiet. Only the wind passed by the side of the body and the wind chimes in the corners of the eaves were ringing.
"Eunuch Qiu, this is my newly refined elixir. It can be given to everyone for consumption, but be sure not to use too much."
"The refiner should also know that those of us who are slaves now don't dare to say a word. It is better for the refiner to persuade everyone."
Zhao Guizhen was silent for a moment.
"Today, Xianggong Li came to see everyone and talked about the rebellion in Zhaoyi Town. Maybe it was because the war was not going well, and everyone was furious. After Xianggong Li left, everyone had a splitting headache and ordered General Ma to get the elixir. General Ma said that it is now rumored by the outside world. The elixir is strange, so I advise everyone to eat less elixir. Unexpectedly, everyone picked up the whip and gave General Ma a whip."
"You mean Ma Yuanzhi?" Zhao Guizhen's voice was obviously surprised.
"Isn't it true? General Ma is the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army. Think about it, Zhao Lianshi, he is like this, let alone us?" Qiu Gongwu said with emotion.
"The erysipelas is still too strong, but this is the only way to suppress everyone's headaches."
When Lan Yin heard this, she probably understood that the outside world was not wrong. The saint was addicted to taking pills. But the outside world does not know that although the elixir contains erysipelas, if he does not take the elixir, the saint may not be able to survive.
Lan Yin understood that if the secrets she heard now were known to others, they could completely overthrow the Tang Empire.
Lan Yin tightened her body tightly and held her breath. She couldn't let anyone discover her, otherwise she might fall into a place of eternal destruction.
"Eunuch Qiu, I understand your concerns. I will try my best to refine elixirs with less erysipelas. You should also try your best to dissuade everyone. Taking large amounts of elixirs will only create drug resistance."
Zhao Guizhen's voice seemed quite worried.
Qiu Gongwu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have always admired Master Zhao, so I still want to say a few words to Master Zhao. Nowadays, people outside say that you are a demon who tempts saints to take pills. What's more, they say that you are a fox. The demon uses the heart blood of a girl to make elixirs for saints. Now the saints are really included."
"Those who are clean will be clean by themselves." Zhao Guizhen said coldly.
"It is true that masters are righteous, but there are always some people who misunderstand masters, not to mention some people who help them do evil."
"Eunuch Qiu, what do you mean?"
"The refiner also knows that Concubine Guo Xian takes a bath and changes clothes. After fasting for fifteen days, the beads of beauty will be brought to the refiner for purification."
The matter involved Meizhu, so Lan Yin couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen carefully.
"It's true."
"The refiner has never thought about it. Concubine Guo Xian, the eldest princess of Hanyang and the Queen Mother have always complained about the refiner. Why would they take the initiative to ask the refiner to purify the beads this time?"
"Haha, it's just a conspiracy." Zhao Guizhen sneered.
"Oh? The master has a corresponding plan?" Qiu Gongwu asked curiously.
Lan Yin is also very curious. This is related to the task assigned to her by the eldest princess of Hanyang.
But she was lying on Chongyan Xieshan, the bells beside her ears ringing from time to time, and their conversations were always vague. Lan Yin stepped lightly on the eaves, preparing to climb up another floor. Perhaps because he used too much force, the wind chime suddenly rang several times.
"what happened?"
Zhao Guizhen has been refining elixirs here all year round and is very familiar with the sound of wind chimes. It is regular. Is there someone outside who is making this sound right now?
Lan Yin was also startled by the sound of wind chimes. It was unrealistic for her to fly away at this moment.
This place is so high that there is nothing to rely on. For the current plan, we can only hang it upside down on the eaves like a golden hook, praying that they will not see themselves when they look over from a bright place.
Zhao Guizhen opened the window, looked around, and settled on one spot.
"Master Zhao, what's going on outside? Is there anyone there?"
Qiu Gongwu came over from behind, and Zhao Guizhen closed the window with a "pop".
"It's nothing, maybe a bird or bat hit the wind chime. There are Jinwu guards patrolling the Daming Palace, and it's so high up here that no one can climb up."
Lan Yin felt relieved when she heard what Zhao Guizhen said.
"What Master Zhao said is, what is the countermeasure that Master just said?"
"Well, what can I do to deal with this? Maybe I can ask the new Yang Siji why the eldest princess of Hanyang asked her to enter the palace." Zhao Guizhen suddenly said loudly.
Lan Yin was startled. Did Zhao Guizhen just see her? Did you tell her on purpose?
"Yang Siji? This matter is also strange. In these troubled times, the eldest princess of Hanyang suddenly recommended a female official to the Daming Palace. I really don't know what she meant?" Qiu Gongwu said thoughtfully.
"Haha, she is just a little girl who wants to come to the palace to be plated with gold so that she can be worthy of the husband of the Cui family."
Lan Yin heard the strong contempt in Zhao Guizhen's mouth and the illogical words. She thought, okay, Zhao Guizhen must know that it is her who is hiding here, but where was she exposed? Can Qiu Gongwu hear it?
