Chapter 25 Just a light touch

Xiao Cui reported everything in detail, hoping to alert Ye Jinshu, but Ye Jinshu just treated it as gossip.

When Ye Jinshu was reborn before, Xiao Cui had never discovered these things and had never told her about them.

This time, she wanted to hear all the gossip that belonged to her.

Ye Jinshu knew that the Queen had been in poor health recently, and he even knew that the Queen had been poisoned.

In her previous life, she had tried to tell the Queen the news and had also tried to investigate it herself, but nothing changed.

No matter what she does, the queen will be poisoned, the person who poisoned her will never be found, and the person who can detoxify her can only be Ye Ruoyan.

On the Queen's birthday.

The Fourth Prince was right. The Queen’s birthday would indeed be Ye Ruoyan’s opportunity.

Secretary Ye Jin knew very well that on the Queen's birthday, the gift Ye Ruoyan gave to the Queen was a sachet filled with herbs.

If it was just an ordinary medicine sachet, it would be fine, but various accidents had occurred in every previous life, forcing Ye Ruoyan's sachet to be examined on the spot by the imperial physician, and the imperial physician would come to a conclusion after the examination.

There is a very precious medicinal ingredient in this medicine sachet. It takes 49 days of watering with human blood to grow. During the watering period, the person responsible for giving the blood cannot have any resentment in his heart. If there is any unwillingness or other intentions, this herb will not grow.

It was precisely because of the imperial physician's words that Ye Ruoyan's feelings for the queen became a hot topic at the birthday banquet.

The Queen was naturally happy as well. Originally, all the gifts would be put away by the ceremonial officers, but Ye Ruoyan's gift was the only one that the Queen took with her on the spot.

After wearing it for a while, the Queen suddenly rewarded Ye Ruoyan again. It turned out that the Queen had been unmotivated to do anything during this period, but after carrying Ye Ruoyan's sachet on her body, she felt a lot more energetic.

Ye Ruoyan then confessed that her sachet was actually a sachet that could detoxify all poisons. If the Queen felt better, then her previous lethargy could only be due to poisoning.

Afterwards, the imperial physician carefully examined the queen's body. Although her pulse showed that she was only suffering from qi deficiency, they found chronic poison in the books that the queen liked to read every day.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. After that, many women from high-ranking officials and noble families tried every means to contact Ye Ruoyan to get the formula of the medicinal materials in the sachets from her, or they directly offered a price to buy them from Ye Ruoyan.

The conflicts in the inner chambers of those wealthy nobles are no worse than those in the imperial palace. Who wouldn't want to carry a sachet that can protect against all kinds of poisons?

From this time on, Ye Ruoyan's medical skills took the first step among noble ladies.

No one can stop this.

Ye Jinshu, who had failed several times, firmly believed this and had no intention of stopping Ye Ruoyan.

She only cared about one thing: "Did the secret guard tell the emperor about the fifth prince?"

"The Emperor has ordered the Third Princess to be confined to her room for half a month."

half a month.

After torturing the Fifth Prince like that, the Third Princess was only punished with house arrest for half a month.

Sure enough, the saying circulating in the palace was right. Only the crown prince was treated as a son by the emperor, and the others were pawns born under the power.

But these have nothing to do with Ye Jinshu. She only knows that the emperor and the queen treat her very well.

Perhaps hoping to dream about things from his past life again, Ye Jinshu fell asleep quickly that night. Unfortunately, he did not dream about the person he wanted to see.

The next day, Ji Yanqing sat on his small bench as scheduled, and the imperial physician also came to exchange farming experiences with Ye Jinshu, and Anping Palace was very lively for a while. When Ye Jinshu and the imperial physician talked about the soul-nourishing grass, he suddenly remembered the herb that Ye Ruoyan added, which was said to be nourished by the heart's blood for forty-nine days to grow, so he asked: "Imperial Physician Zhang, do you know dragon blood grass?"

Doctor Zhang obviously knew about this. He had been checking the seeds of the soul-nourishing grass. He suddenly stood up after hearing this and looked at Ye Jinshu with a worried look on his face. "Princess, the conditions for the growth of dragon blood grass are too harsh. It needs human blood to grow. Is your body still..."

"Does it have to be human blood? Can't we use other blood?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head. "It is recorded in ancient books that some people have tried to feed the dragon blood grass with pig blood, sheep blood, and cow blood, but none of them worked. Only human blood can work, and the person who feeds the blood must not have any resentment, otherwise the blood will be contaminated and the dragon blood grass will wither directly."

Ye Jinshu didn't believe it: "So strange?"

"My Lord, according to legend, the Dragon Blood Grass is a magical grass that feeds on the blood of the Dragon God. Now, only humans still live on the dragon vein, so it can only be watered with human blood."

Ye Jinshu nodded and asked the old doctor to write down all the types of blood that failed to be used to irrigate the dragon blood grass in ancient books. After the doctor left, she began to greet Xiao Cui.

"Cui'er, help me get some rat blood, fish blood, horse blood, centipede blood, and bird blood. I want to see if this dragon blood grass must be made with human blood."

Ji Yanqing was originally writing a storybook. When he heard Ye Jinshu's words, he knew that the princess was thinking about something strange again.

I don’t know what she is thinking about all day long. She always does so many unexpected things. More importantly, this princess looks happy every day.

Even in this deep palace full of dangers.

When Ji Yanqing was first brought into the palace, he had not expected that his already dull life would be tinged with some color again because of this princess.

Even though the colors were very light, they were bright enough for him to touch even though he knew it was forbidden.

Just touch it gently and it will be fine.

When Ji Sui went back to report yesterday, Ji Yanqing laughed out loud, which was rare.

"They mistakenly brought the real assassin into Anping Palace, but fortunately the princess fell asleep, so they asked me to leave the palace quickly."

After all, this princess could actually fall asleep under the assassin's sword.

Seeing Ye Jinshu's energetic appearance today, Ji Yanqing knew that she had slept well last night.

Ye Jinshu was discussing with Xiao Cui where to find different blood for verification, and Ji Yanqing joined their conversation for the first time.

"Princess, this is my manuscript today." After Ji Yanqing handed the newly written manuscript to Ye Jinshu, he said casually, "Does the princess need some blood?"

When Ye Jinshu heard this, his eyes lit up, and his gaze, which was originally on the manuscript, turned straight to Ji Yanqing. His dark eyes were smiling, and the smile splashed under his eyes, forming a small dimple.

Ji Yanqing's eyes unconsciously fell on the dimple, but he quickly looked away, so fast that no one noticed his abnormality.

"Can you get this blood?"

"I have a good relationship with the owner of the pharmacy. He knows a lot of businessmen, so it's not difficult to find some blood."

This was really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy. Ye Jinshu quickly asked Xiao Cui to take out a large bag of silver and handed it to Ji Yanqing: "Then I'll leave it to you, sir!"

This please made Ji Yanqing feel itchy inside, as if he was gently tickled by a feather, not fatal, but enough to make his heart tremble.
