Chapter 438: Searching in vain



"What did you stick on me when you flew forward just now? Don't act like I don't know!"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? We are both getting what we need. Your Majesty, give me the antidote and I will find the Tianshan grass for you. Now that I have found it, I will take my leave."

Chu Zhan bowed and turned to walk out the door. Zhao Xin always felt that there was a faint smile on his face before he left.

When I looked down again, I saw that the silver needle was lying quietly on the wooden floor.

"Little Dust."

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Zhao Xin picked up the needle and placed it on a piece of paper on the table. "Let's take this thing and have them test it to see if there's anything stuck on it."

If Chu Zhan was so bold as to touch him in front of him, Zhao Xin would really not be able to bear it.

To be honest, Zhao Xin wanted to find the old man who was supposed to appear in the world after taking the Tianshan grass.

He was a skilled practitioner of Taoism, and the original text states that Chu Zhan benefited greatly from his help. It's said that he has now shunned the martial arts world and is now enjoying a leisurely life in a temple, chanting Buddhist scriptures.

If you want to reverse Chu Zhan's current situation, you must take the precious plant to find him and hand over this gift to him.

To be honest, Zhao Xin was unsure about the treasure because it belonged to Tianshan. Some of the elders in Tianshan were also active in the martial arts world, and they were afraid that the man would not only not want it, but also report him.

Isn't it like stealing a chicken and losing the rice, and losing both the wife and the army?

He remembered that the system once gave him a book, which he seemed to have obtained through a lottery with luck points. However, since he had no time and could not understand it, he kept it at the bottom of the box.

Then he looked down and still couldn't find it. Suddenly he wondered where he could throw this thing... but he still couldn't find it.

Then, while he was reviewing the memorials, the brush fell to the ground. Xiao Chenzi, who was squatting nearby grinding ink, also lowered his head and groaned to pick up the brush.

Just as Zhao Xin lowered his head, he happened to find a book under the table.

?

Is this what it means to be immersed in something after searching for it for a long time but failing?

He finally understood the meaning of the word.

Zhao Xin picked up the book, then carefully blew off the dirt on it and opened the first page.

It contained a detailed list of various herbs and their methods of use. Honestly, the book was quite thin, but I had no idea what kind of pen was used to write so small.

Of course, this is very common in modern times because of printing. Even if printing is not possible, there are pens like mechanical pencils and ballpoint pens that can write very small words.

But now the brush is dominant.

So he was very confused.

As soon as he picked up the pen, he suddenly thought of papermaking and printing. He had heard about it before and had a pretty good understanding of it, though his studies weren't very advanced. So, he was thinking about how the book, The Exploitation of the Works of Nature, already contained all the information on papermaking and template making.

The first person who came to mind for this kind of thing was Wang Xuance, the Deputy Chief Censor, who also supervised all officials. However, it seemed that he hadn't been assigned any work at the moment.

Because of the war, Yu Qian and Liu Muzhi couldn't be moved. They were still calculating accounts before the Spring Festival. Now, only Wang Xuance was like a brick, being moved wherever he was needed...

So he told Wang Xuance about the idea of ​​making paper. After hearing it, Wang Xuance was very supportive and asked Zhao Xin for a detailed form so that he would not be too hasty in preparing the materials.

Zhao Xin naturally gave it to him. He opened the book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" and copied the most important excerpts into a notebook. Finally, he placed it on the table.

Since Wang Xuance had been kneeling and hadn't looked up, he had no idea what the object that flashed across the table was. He accepted the note and the instruction with gratitude.

"I will definitely complete this mission successfully, Your Majesty, with your kindness. Please rest assured."

"It's my great honor to be able to hand it over to the Deputy Prime Minister. My dear, I don't know what you think. Just work on it. I just want to see the finished product. Theoretically, it shouldn't fail."

"yes."

Wang Xuance bowed and left.

Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes, feeling a dull pain on the back of his neck where he had been stabbed, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, when he stood up and poked it, Zhao Xin clearly heard a thud, and then the needle was deflected by the Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique he had practiced.

As for the pain, it was probably just a psychological effect. After all, he really didn't see any blood on the silver needle.

The past few days have been quite lively. The plum blossoms are blooming even more vigorously, and the rain has probably stopped, and the entire palace is quiet.

Aside from the frozen lake in the Imperial Garden, the entire road was paved with neatly arranged gravel. He had previously suggested paving the road with something else, as if everyone were walking on these gravel and someone fell, wouldn't that just...

But this has been the case for years, and the gravel was a bit broken, so he agreed. He didn't expect that something bad would happen right away.

"Your Majesty, the Queen slipped and fell, hitting her face on the stone corridor. I don't know who put some big rocks there, but now the Queen's face is scratched... It's too painful to look at!"

"I send you to bring the eunuchs from all the palaces to sprinkle salt on me from beginning to end."

Now! Su Qingyu must have been badly hurt by the fall. Zhao Xin was inexplicably worried, so he didn't bother to take anything. He hurried over to see.

"Your Majesty, I'm so sorry. It would be better if you could just come over. I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me."

Although he was fine, he was sitting there. The eunuchs in the park and Taiyi sighed for no reason after checking his pulse, then sat aside and looked at his face carefully.

"Your Majesty, your face is not easy to deal with... As for whether it will be better, we need to test it. After all, the scar on your cheek is too long."

"I'm afraid Your Majesty loves me even less... I was careless and the stone was a bit slippery, so I fell and landed on my face."

Zhao Xin couldn't really say he had any romantic feelings for anyone, but the material of the corridor in his palace did need to be replaced. He simply felt that if he fell the next time, it would injure his dragon body, which was naturally unacceptable.

Therefore, he not only ordered people to pour some salt on the corridor, but also instructed them to do so once a day. As for the broken stones, he couldn't rule out the possibility that they were caused by the eunuchs' smashing of the stones, or that some jealous people in the palace had deliberately used the large stones.

Is it possible to use some tricks to lure him into the trap and then frame him?
