Xie Zhaozhao had never seen what the Panacea actually looked like, neither in her past nor present life.
According to the information Xiaoxin heard, the Panacea comes in two forms: raw and cooked. Both are ointments. The raw one is black and smells terrible, while the cooked one is amber in color and has a strong fruity aroma.
One piece the size of a pea is enough.
It is insoluble in water, so you have to knead it into a ball and eat it.
Or grind it into powder and mix it with fruit juice to drink.
Burn the Panacea with a lamp to release its fragrance, then inhale it.
It's definitely not a good thing, so you absolutely shouldn't touch it.
The birds were stolen, the old man's belongings were smashed, and Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan were planning to set a trap for the Crown Prince. This news must not be known to anyone.
Yuanyuan asked nervously, "What should we do? Miss, are they from the Imperial City Guard? Will this cause trouble for you?"
"It's alright. Even if the truth comes out, we'll just say that Gu Chengyan is keeping a mistress and deceiving the Crown Prince's wife, and that we're helping her catch him in the act."
You can just bring it up in the context of household chores.
“Yuanyuan, take Xiaoxin away immediately and hand him over to your brother. Investigate his past and see if he has a talent for spying.”
Yuanyuan has been interacting with Xiaoxin for the past few months. Xiaoxin is very hardworking and smart, and she doesn't want Xiaoxin to die.
At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), Gu Shaoyu returned from court on time and saw Xie Zhaozhao standing under the eaves waiting for him. He took her hand and said, "Why are you standing here? Come inside, it's too cold."
Lifting the thick warm curtain, Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Because I have something urgent to tell you."
"What's up?"
Have you ever heard of a panacea?
Gu Shaoyu sat down, looking at her intently.
He was dressed in fine clothes and had a handsome face, but his usually indifferent expression added a touch of coldness and aloofness to his good looks. Although he was still aesthetically pleasing, he was also difficult to approach.
He held her hands in his own and suddenly smiled.
He was naturally handsome, but because of his high position, he was always serious and dignified.
His smile was truly like the gentle breeze rippling across the water under the morning sun, creating captivating and shimmering waves. In that instant, Xie Zhaozhao felt that there was only one word to describe his beauty: peerless elegance.
Ask him a question: Why are you so happy?
He came back from outside, and because he had been walking around, his hands were warm, even warmer than her hand warmer, and he reverently wrapped them in her hands.
"I'm glad you thought of coming to me for help," Gu Shaoyu said earnestly. "Tell me what happened."
Xie Zhaozhao was momentarily dazzled by his good looks, thinking to herself that this man was becoming more and more lewd, even his words were meant to seduce people!
“Yin Jin’an told Li Yunmu that someone had brought a cartload of ‘panacea’ into the city. One of his friends in the martial arts world said that these things are addictive and extremely harmful.”
The reason for using Yin Jin'an's identity as a pretext is that Yin Jin'an already knew about this kind of thing. It was Ren Jialin who intercepted the goods in the desolate land. Ren Jialin is a person of the martial arts world, so it is not surprising that he knows about these insidious things.
"It is said that the thing is extremely insidious and can control a person's will. If you don't take it, you will be pierced by a thousand arrows and will agree to whatever you are told to do."
Xie Zhaozhao said, "It's very addictive, there's no antidote, you have to rely on willpower to get through it, but I've heard that no one can resist it, and you'll probably be controlled for life."
She was afraid that someone would use it to harm His Majesty, and she was also afraid that someone would harm Gu Shaoyu.
"I heard it's hidden in a secluded teahouse in the eastern part of the city. Whether it's in use or for whom, nobody knows. I was worried someone might be fooled, so I thought I'd tell you as soon as possible."
“You did the right thing! If the common people take this, their families will be destroyed and their lives ruined. If those in power take it, they will be at the mercy of others, and the country will be doomed.”
Gu Shaoyu said, "Don't worry, I won't eat anything from outside. I'll send someone to investigate first, and only when we catch the culprit red-handed can we convict him. The thing you mentioned seems extremely similar to the opium used in the prescription, a medicine used to treat coughs, diarrhea, strokes, and other ailments."
The Imperial Medical Bureau had opium, but the quantity was extremely rare. No one had ever tried it to see if it was addictive or poisonous. It was originally a gift from the royal family of the Haixi Kingdom to the emperor.
Gu Shaoyu's idea was to find this poison, strictly control it, and use it to save lives.
Gu Shaoyu called Bei Chen over: "Bei Chen, go to the newly opened teahouse in the East City and investigate the formula for a kind of ointment called Panacea to determine its hiding place."
He instructed Bei Chen to investigate first, find the goods, and then convict him based on solid evidence.
Xie Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. After telling Gu Shaoyu about it, she felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
Gu Shaoyu smiled slightly, and a captivating charm bloomed on his lips.
He quickly dabbed a little on her lips.
"Zhaozhao, will you trust me from now on?"
"good."
"Zhaozhao, I miss you..."
Xie Zhaozhao's ears turned red as she stood face to face with her, thinking of her?
Push him away, in broad daylight, really.
“Madam, look~” Zhou Shaoyu saw her shyness and carefully took out a letter from his pocket. “Ling Xun has sent a letter.”
Xie Zhaozhao shook her head and didn't answer.
"It's a matter of the court, a man's matter." She didn't interfere.
"If you won't read the letter, shall we swing on the swings?"
"Bring the letter here..." Xie Zhaozhao knew that the letter was probably just a private message.
Xie Zhaozhao read the letter, and Gu Shaoyu looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, which he couldn't suppress.
Nanxing is in the light: One, two, three, turn around, run!
Bei Chen, lurking in the shadows: One, two, three, close your eyes, let's go! For bodyguards to get things done, all they need are legs and ears.
Xie Zhaozhao took the letter; Ling Xun's letter brought good news.
"The two ringleaders voluntarily faced death. Although they rebelled, they did not disturb the people. All the grain was used to help the people. Many people cried out for justice on their behalf. I believe they are righteous men. I hope that Your Excellency will plead for them before His Majesty."
