Space Fisherwoman: Going fishing in the sea and getting rich

At this time, the palace maid Rumeng returned to the small kitchen and saw that the medicine she had just boiled had turned into residue. She had no choice but to take a new dose of medicine and start boiling it.

While there was no one around, she took out the jade bottle from her arms and wanted to pour the contents of the bottle into the medicine.

Just to avoid being discovered, she would only carry a small bottle of medicine with her each time, and the amount she brought today had already been used up just now.

Ru Meng saw that the medicine bottle was empty and a palace maid was coming over. She asked the maid to help her watch the fire while she went to get the medicine.

What she didn't know was that the secret guard was following her quietly.

After following her around several corners, we arrived at a secluded yard.

A man in the yard saw her coming and his face changed. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to come back in the evening?"

Ru Meng said anxiously, "Today, the Empress Dowager came back from outside and didn't want to take the medicine. When she remembered, the medicine was cold, so she asked me to change it."

"After changing it for the second time, she complained that the taste was not right again. I guess it was because I added more water and the taste was too bland. She also added too much of the medicine you gave her, which changed the taste. She asked me to boil it again, but adding more water definitely wouldn't work."

"The medicine you gave me ran out after two uses. I have no choice but to come to you to get the medicine in order to achieve my master's goal."

"I checked these two bowls of medicine just now and found that the smell of benzoin was indeed excessive. If taken for a long time, it will not cause any harm to the body. If it is mild, it will endanger life."

The man nodded, went back to the house, and gave her the medicine. "Today's situation is special, so I won't blame you. You must prevent this from happening next time. There are many people watching during the day, and if the old woman knows that you come to my place often, your plan will be ruined."

The man said, "It's bad, let's go back."

Ru Meng said, "I know. Without that experience, I would have delayed making bad preparations last time."

His legs softened involuntarily and he collapsed to the ground.

The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the woman behind her and said angrily, "Yuan Le, I have treated him badly since he entered the palace when he was a teenager. Even if he was bad to Li Er and did very little to hurt me, you were planning to execute him for Li Er's sake. Why did he do that?"

"Yes."

You are wrong. The person who was talking to Rumeng behind his eyes was not the current Queen Mother, Chu Yuanle.

"That bottle of medicine is probably made by carefully brewing and refining several kilograms of benzoin. You only need to pour half a bottle into your medicine to produce the effect its owner needs."

Xiao Xuanli also looked at Chu Yuanle with disappointment. "Mom, he has a vicious heart. Grandmother treated him so badly. Why would he hurt you? Where does he put you by doing that?"

"If you take proper benzoin, it will be harmful to your health."

"But benzoin doesn't have the effect of refreshing the mind. If the dosage is too low, and you often take it in the evening, the benzoin will not work when you go to bed, which is why you suffer from insomnia at night and feel sleepy during the day."

Doctor Zhao opened it and smelled it, then said solemnly, "Reporting to the Grand Empress Dowager, the medicine is benzoin. You didn't have heart disease in those years, so benzoin was added to the medicine you took every day."

The two palace servants immediately got off the bed, snatched the medicine from Rumeng's hand, and gave it to Doctor Zhao who came with her.

But as soon as Ru Meng turned her head and saw the person appear behind her, her pupils suddenly shrank.
