Once these words were spoken, if someone like Concubine Xian, who had been in the harem for a long time, still couldn't understand what was going on, then she would have been in the harem for so many years in vain.
After the eunuch left, Concubine Xian picked up the bracelet with a grim face and examined it carefully.
After all, as someone who has been immersed in this harem for many years, she must have good eyesight and a good memory.
Together with this gold bracelet, it can indeed be considered as one of the more valuable rewards.
This time, Concubine Xian had remembered who she had given the gold bracelet to.
Thinking of the arrogant look of the eunuch just now, Empress Xian clenched the bracelet tightly.
What happened today shocked her deeply.
Of course, Concubine Xian knew Zhao Ji's power and that he was one of the most important officials in the court.
If there is a chance in the future, Concubine Xian also wants to win Zhao Ji over to the camp of her own prince.
In fact, the reason why Concubine Xian sent this palace maid to eavesdrop on Zhao Ji's secrets was just to get hold of Zhao Ji's handle so that she could force and bribe Zhao Ji to support her son.
However, now that the truth has been exposed, this gold bracelet proves that Zhao Ji has completely understood Concubine Xian's thoughts.
She didn't dare to have a falling out with Zhao Ji, so she stayed quietly in the harem, and things became much quieter for a while.
He no longer rewards people as ostentatiously as before.
After all, who knows who is sincere in the harem?
Moreover, Concubine Xian was also afraid that Zhao Ji would tell the Queen about her recent actions. Few women in the harem are easy to deal with.
At this critical juncture, it is natural to save trouble as much as possible. The third prince under the queen's name has now been assigned an assignment in the court, and there is no guarantee what the queen will do behind the scenes.
The harem finally calmed down for a while, but then Master Zhang started to make trouble again.
Originally, the twelve pills that Master Zhang presented to the emperor last time were meant for the emperor to take for a period of time.
But these days, Zhao Ji's spies brought news that they found Master Zhang was making medicine pills again!
And judging from the stolen crumbs, more Wu Shi San was added to the pills this time!
Zhao Ji knew very well that an excessive dose of Wu Shi San would be extremely harmful to the emperor's health. Logically speaking, after Master Zhang delivered the twelve pills, he only needed to observe quietly.
I never thought that I would have to refine new pills in such a short time, and according to Master Zhang's previous style, as long as the pills are refined, they will be presented to the emperor and the emperor will eat them immediately.
"He does this so frequently, could it be that he has discovered our movements?"
In another remote palace, Zhao Ji, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the chief eunuch Su Xi met again. The eunuch Su Xi was puzzled.
The head of the Imperial Hospital on the other side thought for a moment and proposed a hypothesis: "So is it possible that because the emperor did not show any signs of addiction, Master Zhang could not sit still and felt that the amount he gave was too small, so he started to make new pills. He probably wanted the emperor to eat more Wu Shi San!"
Zhao Ji and the chief eunuch thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was very high.
"Indeed, according to the progress of the emperor taking the fifth pill, the emperor should take the pills more frequently. However, now that we have the medicinal diet to regulate his diet, the emperor is not so dependent on the pills. Instead, he has been taking his time and has put the pills out of his mind."
The chief eunuch Su Xi knew very well the rhythm at which the emperor took medicine.
The emperor almost took one pill a day from the five pills that Zhang Zhenren presented to him the first time.
However, the medication period is now somewhat extended.
Master Zhang is not a fool. Although the emperor rarely summons him, Master Zhang can still get the emperor to know what he has eaten with just a few words.
Perhaps it is because the current pace is too slow, so Master Zhang is a little anxious.
"But this is a good thing. The more anxious he is, the easier it is for him to show his true colors, and we can catch him easily."
A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes.
It happened to be the second month, and it was time for Zhao Ji to get the medicine.
You should know that Zhao Ji gave a box of gold for this bottle of medicine.
Master Zhang has been in the alchemy furnace room for the past few days, and he has been dried out by the fire every day.
But the matter of the pills is extremely important, and Master Zhang dare not relax at all.
"This is really strange. According to the normal rhythm, the emperor should have taken the tenth pill, but now he has only taken the fifth pill... Could it be that the medicinal properties of the previous pills have been lost?"
While muttering to himself, Master Zhang put the two pills he had refined with great difficulty into an exquisite box.
He knew very well that the pill itself looked ordinary and black, but if it was placed in an exquisite medicine box, it would be enough to make the medicine look high-end and full of medicinal value.
Just when Master Zhang was holding the medicine box and preparing to go see the emperor again, Zhao Ji came to his door.
"It's really a bother to come visit Master Zhang so late at night, but I really can't spare the time during the day. But I've already finished the medicine Master Zhang gave me last time, so I figured it's time to come and get it today!"
Zhao Ji was sitting in the Taoist temple sipping tea and talking to Master Zhang. At this point, Zhao Ji patted Master Zhang's shoulder with an apologetic look on his face.
She deliberately touched Master Zhang's shoulder with her hand and pretended to be cautious and leaned over to whisper, "Master Zhang, you didn't take the initiative to send the medicine to me because there is no one in the harem. If there is no one, I can send a few clean people for you to use!"
At this time, because you and Master Zhang had physical contact, Zhao Ji heard Master Zhang's inner voice:
[How could I have forgotten about Zhao Ji's medicine? But I took his gold. If I don't give it back, it will be difficult to do it. ]
[Originally, I prepared these pills for the emperor, and they contained a large amount of Wushisan. It just so happened that all the things that the master sent to the palace this time were used up. I couldn't find the Wushisan for a while. Where could I turn it into medicine juice? ]
Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes sharply, Master?
Sure enough, just as Zhao Ji had speculated before, there was a mastermind behind this real person.
The reason why Master Zhang was able to appear in the palace so smoothly was definitely due to the help of his master behind him.
So Zhao Ji continued to press: "Last time Master Zhang, you told me that I must take a bottle of this medicine juice every month, and I can't delay it for a day. How come there is no medicine juice today!"
"I have also heard from the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital that if you take some medicine for a long time, you cannot stop taking it halfway. If the effect of the medicine is broken, then all the medicines you have taken before will be wasted. It is better not to take it!"
