The scene was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Tang Cheng with indescribable eyes.
The corners of Nanyang Marquis’ mouth twitched.
Tang Cheng looked innocent. Actually, she didn't mean to do that. It was just that the soup made by the chef in the imperial kitchen was so delicious that she accidentally drank too much.
The emperor was the first to break the silence: "Tang Si, there is only one step left in refining the potion. If you leave, will it affect the success or failure of the potion?"
In fact, he hoped that Tang Si would fail in refining the medicine, but he couldn't show it on his face.
Tang Cheng shook his head: "No, just keep stirring it until the medicine in the jar turns black. Anyone can do it."
It's going to fail anyway, if it weren't for the urgent need to do so, Tang Cheng would be happy to play the role to the end.
She glanced at the medicine in the jar reluctantly, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.
The emperor felt depressed.
"Your Majesty, please let me come." When Doctor Chen heard Tang Cheng say this, he excitedly stepped forward and asked.
The emperor agreed.
"Okay, let's go with Doctor Chen."
Seeing that the emperor agreed to Doctor Chen's help, Tang Cheng reluctantly handed the stirring job to him and asked the palace maid who was massaging her legs to take her to the toilet.
Jingyang Palace is very large and is where the imperial study is located. It is heavily guarded and no outsiders are allowed to approach.
Tang Cheng followed the respectful palace maid and walked around a few corners to finally relieve herself. She held up her skirt and walked back briskly. When she returned, she would probably see the tearful expressions of Doctor Chen and others after the potion failed.
Tang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and was in a good mood, but he had a vague bad feeling in his heart. What was going on
At this time, a faint stench filled the backyard of the Jingyang Palace, and everyone covered their noses.
The emperor frowned.
Eunuch Fu quickly led the emperor away from the medicine jar.
The more Doctor Chen stirred it, the stronger the stench became. The stench penetrated into his nostrils and mouth, making his face look ugly.
"My Lord, when Fourth Miss Tang was mixing the medicine, was the smell so... so bad?"
Doctor Chen's face turned pale, and he endured the discomfort and asked the Marquis of Nanyang with great difficulty.
"That should be the case. My daughter had already prepared the potion after I returned home." Marquis Nanyang unconsciously covered his nose and mouth with his hands and stepped back. He hesitated for a while and said that he felt guilty. Although he didn't know the situation, no servants said it was smelly. They only said that the smell of medicine was very strong.
Is it true that refining failure stinks so bad
Marquis Nanyang muttered secretly in his heart.
"Perhaps the bad smell is because the poison in the medicine is being eliminated?" An imperial physician expressed his wild guess.
The other imperial doctors thought it made sense.
Detox
Are you sure it's not poison
The emperor was speechless.
It was getting smellier and smellier, and everyone present was almost fainted from the suffocation. Eunuch Fu quickly asked someone to bring a wet handkerchief.
The entire backyard of the Jingyang Palace was filled with a stench.
No one spoke again.
If the emperor wasn't still here, they would all want to escape.
The Marquis of Nanyang was as quiet as a chicken.
The emperor also stayed away from the medicine jars and covered his nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief. After using the body-strengthening potion, he had a strong ability to adapt. Except for the Marquis of Nanyang, he was in the best condition.
The one who suffered the most was Doctor Chen, who was closest to the doctor. His face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead. Doctor Chen suppressed the discomfort and the urge to vomit, and covered his nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief with one hand while stirring the medicine with the other.
"You, come over here and stir it!"
Finally, Doctor Chen couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced around, pointed at a young eunuch not far away to stir it, and then fled quickly.
"When will Miss Tang Si come back?"
The imperial doctors who were closest to the place were made dizzy and dazed by the stench but they forced themselves not to leave. They observed the changes in the medicine very professionally, but the more they looked, the more something seemed wrong.
This smell is too strong.
Nanyang Hou tried hard to suppress the stench that was drilling into his nose. He felt that this was not a good thing to continue, so he coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, this potion must have failed in its refining process and turned into a smelly potion."
The emperor's face changed instantly, and he didn't wait for Tang Cheng to come back anymore. He quickly ordered people to stop stirring.
The young eunuch and the fire-sitter, who were almost fainted by the stench, stepped away from the medicine jar with all their breath held as if they had been pardoned.
The weird thing is that even without anyone stirring it, the stench didn't get any lighter, and it was actually getting stronger.
Everyone was horrified.
what to do
Of course, we had to leave Jingyang Palace as soon as possible.
The emperor was the first to leave the stinking Jingyang Palace, followed closely by Marquis Nanyang and others.
The forgotten medicine jar still emits a strong stench.
At this time, Tang Cheng, who had smelled the stench from afar, came back.
As soon as I came back, I saw a bright yellow figure quickly disappearing at the palace gate.
A group of people followed behind.
The Marquis’ father and the imperial doctors were also among them.
Tang Cheng covered his nose and mouth, and walked quickly to the side of the Marquis' father, his almond-shaped eyes full of shock.
"Dad, why does this Jingyang Palace stink so badly? Who is so fearless that he would poison Jingyang Palace?"
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Let's go first."
Marquis Nanyang held Tang Cheng's hand, thinking that his precious daughter was the culprit of the stench. He was afraid that the emperor would be furious and wanted to take her away from the palace immediately.
Tang Cheng covered his mouth and nose and followed his father the Marquis out of Jingyang Palace in confusion. At this time, all the guards, palace maids, nannies and eunuchs in Jingyang Palace withdrew.
The mistresses in the harem soon learned of the commotion in Jingyang Palace and sent people to inquire about the situation.
The Queen in Kunning Palace knew without hesitation that it was Fourth Miss Tang who caused the trouble. She didn't want to get involved in this mess but had to step forward. Who knew that halfway through she learned that Jingyang Palace was filled with a strong stench, so she immediately turned around and went back.
Whoever wants to go can go!
Not only the Queen, but all the other concubines were horrified when they learned what happened in Jingyang Palace.
Rumors spread in the harem, and concubines with connections and power secretly spread the news to their parents' homes outside the palace. Soon, the news that the Jingyang Palace, where the imperial study was located, was shrouded in stench spread throughout the entire circle of the powerful.
When the Duke of Zhenguo heard the news for the first time, he felt dizzy.
The news that Marquis Nanyang and Tang Cheng were going to the palace to meet the emperor had already spread throughout the capital. The emperor's indulgence and her audacity made her the talk of the town.
But the Duke of Zhenguo knew the purpose of the emperor summoning Tang Si to the palace.
Send strengthening potion and refining strengthening potion.
The Duke of Zhenguo was also quite interested in the body-strengthening potion, and he also hoped that Tang Si could refine it again, but he didn't hold much hope in his heart.
Tang Si's success has a lot to do with luck.
The stench that filled the Jingyang Palace this time was probably caused by that girl Tang Si.
It’s okay for others to fail in refining the potion, but for this girl, failure is fatal.
The corners of Zhenguogong's mouth twitched.
Wen Huaian happened to be next to the Duke of Zhenguo. He was also one of the people who knew about the situation. He thought the same thing as the Duke of Zhenguo and almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Father, do you think the emperor will severely punish Tang Cheng?" A trace of worry appeared on Wen Huaian's handsome face.
The Duke of Zhenguo said indifferently.
"No, Tang Si is pregnant with your child. For the sake of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the emperor will not punish Tang Si."
Wen Huaian breathed a sigh of relief but also had a headache. This girl Tang Cheng was so troublesome even after entering the palace.
The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at his troubled son and twitched the corners of his mouth. However, when he thought of the news from the palace that the Queen had privately prevented Tang Si from riding in the carriage into the palace, a fierce look flashed across the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes.
It's time to suppress the Cheng'en Mansion again.
After receiving the secret letter from the Empress, Duke Cheng'en, who was being targeted by the Duke Zhenguo, secretly passed the message to the censors and asked them to impeach the Marquis of Nanyang during the court session the next day.
Even if it can't shake the position of Marquis Nanyang, it's good to disgust him a little.
…
At this time, everyone finally got rid of the stench and smelled the fresh air. They breathed in the fresh air and almost cried with joy.
Marquis Nanyang took his precious daughter and prepared to leave quietly, but they were seen by the sharp-eyed Doctor Chen.
"My Lord, where are you taking Miss Tang Si?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the survivors looked at the Nanyang Marquis and his daughter, their eyes were not right.
"We walked too fast just now. I'm worried that Cheng'er might not be feeling well, so I plan to take her to the side to rest for a while." Marquis Nanyang said calmly.
Doctor Chen looked suspicious.
Why did he feel that the Marquis of Nanyang just now wanted to take the opportunity to escape with the fourth Miss Tang
Tang Cheng is still confused, but she is still thinking about the play she is going to perform.
"Dad, I'm fine. The stench just now didn't bother me much."
Tang Cheng, the culprit, gathered a lot of hatred and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, why does the Jingyang Palace stink so badly? Who dared to poison the palace? I almost died of suffocation. Where is the body-strengthening potion I made? It should have been made successfully by now. Take it out quickly and let the imperial doctors examine it."
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted to Tang Cheng, his face turned slightly blue, and his expression was indescribable.
Who else could have poisoned the place except Fourth Miss Tang
But the Fourth Miss Tang, who had cheated them, looked completely unaware, and they felt extremely aggrieved.
The emperor, who had been tortured by the stench, was frowning. He didn't want to talk to Tang Si, who looked smart but was actually tactless and brainless.
Marquis Nanyang lamented in his heart, thinking that his precious daughter was asking about something irrelevant, and his words were a hidden reminder.
"Ahem, Cheng'er, the potion making failed."
"fail?"
Tang Cheng's train of thought was different from that of Marquis Nanyang. She did not understand Marquis Nanyang's hint and thought that he was telling her that the plan was successful and she should continue. She was secretly delighted in her heart, but her face was full of disbelief.
"How is it possible? I'm so powerful, how could I fail? Are you trying to secretly steal the strengthening potion?"
Tang Cheng looked at Doctor Chen and the others with suspicion, but in his heart he was madly applauding his own acting skills.
Tang Cheng felt good about herself, but everyone looked at her strangely.
Didn’t she smell the overwhelming stench
"Miss Fourth Tang, do you know where the stench in Jingyang Palace comes from? It's coming from the potion you made."
Doctor Chen, who almost fainted from the stench and was suspected by Miss Tang Si, was almost angry to death.
"impossible!"
"The potion I brew can't possibly stink that bad!"
Tang Cheng was shocked and quickly denied it.
"The Emperor can testify!"
Doctor Chen's mouth twitched.
Tang Cheng looked at the emperor. The emperor met Tang Si's inquiring eyes, his mouth twitched, and he agreed. Tang Cheng shrank his neck, and after a while he raised his chin with confidence.
"Doctor Chen, I wasn't here just now. Who knows if you did anything? There was no such problem when I was refining the potion."
But she was secretly feeling guilty in her heart. Tang Cheng was now certain that it was because she had accidentally attached her soul power to the medicinal materials, causing the potion to be ruined and turned into a very lethal and smelly potion.
Of course I can't admit it at this time.
It's so embarrassing.
"Indeed, there was no problem with the medicine when my daughter left. The bad smell appeared after Doctor Chen took over."
The Marquis of Nanyang, who doted on his daughter, of course stood on the side of his precious daughter. After all, it was Doctor Chen who was mixing the medicine when the problem occurred.
With the support of his father, the Marquis, Tang Cheng felt more justified.
The father and daughter passed the buck quickly and efficiently.
Doctor Chen was inexplicably blamed and almost vomited blood from anger.
This shameless Marquis of Nanyang.
Everyone was stunned.
The emperor's mouth twitched.
Tang Cheng frowned slightly when he saw everyone's strange expressions. He then decided to speak with facts.
"Father is right, so this is not my fault. It didn't smell at all when I was mixing it. You must have made something wrong while I was away. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to prove my innocence. I can make the potion again."
How could she, a delicate young lady from a noble family, make a potion that smelled so stinky? It would not be good if it got out.
The thought of that smelly potion being associated with her made me feel uncomfortable.
Tang Cheng felt unwell.
This time, she would definitely not make a smelly potion.
She could swear.
As soon as the words fell, everyone's face was filled with shock and their hearts were trembling.
Will it happen again and bring disaster to the entire palace
This Fourth Miss Tang is poisonous.
The emperor's expression twisted for a moment and then quickly returned to normal, and he said something contrary to his thoughts.
"No need, I believe you!"
She was asked to refine a potion, and the Jingyang Palace was filled with stinking smell. The Imperial Study belongs to the Jingyang Palace, so it must be full of stench. The emperor would definitely not be able to review memorials in the Imperial Study for the next two days. The emperor felt depressed when he thought about it.
Tang Cheng had a look of disappointment on her face. She asked again without giving up. She hadn't even had time to show off her acting skills, but the baby died in her womb.
"Your Majesty, is it really not necessary? Maybe I will succeed once more."
The emperor's face twitched, and he said with lingering fear: "No, I believe you!"
The imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the emperor flatly rejected Miss Tang Si's request.
This Fourth Miss Tang is so weird.
Although they are both refining medicine, she is different and stands out.
At this time, the stench drifted over again, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they retreated to another palace next to Jingyang Palace.
"Why hasn't the stench gotten any better? Didn't anyone get rid of the medicine jar?"
Tang Cheng's eyes widened.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought that without stirring and without burning fire, the stench of the failed potion would naturally dissipate over time and would not spread out.
Anyway, the Jingyang Palace is already filled with stench.
It doesn't matter whether you deal with it or not.
Who would have thought that the stench would not fade away and would even spread.
The potion made by Fourth Miss Tang is truly horrible.
Tang Cheng: “…”
"Dad, let's leave the palace quickly. We can't stay here any longer."
Tang Cheng grabbed Nanyang Marquis.
God knows how long this stench will last. When Tang Cheng thought that he was about to be surrounded by the stench, he decided to run away.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
My dear daughter, can we talk about this in person
Imperial doctors: “…”
emperor:"… "
"Commander Liu, send someone to dispose of that medicine jar immediately!" the emperor gave the order quickly.
He now regretted asking Tang Si to refine the medicine.
If he succeeded, he was unhappy; if he failed, the stench almost suffocated him.
This Tang Si is poisonous!
The imperial doctors had failed countless times, but none of them were as terrible as Tang Si's one failure.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the medicine jar?" Commander Liu asked with gritted teeth.
The emperor looked at Tang Cheng, the culprit.
"Tang Si, what do you think we should do?"
Tang Cheng looked innocent.
"It's simple. Just to be on the safe side, it's best to seal the medicine jar so the smell won't get out."
The emperor looked at Commander Liu with disappointment, saying that his brains were not as good as Tang Si's.
I couldn't think of such a simple solution.
"Commander Liu, did you hear that?"
Commander Liu blushed, responded respectfully, and then bowed and left.
Soon Commander Liu came over to report that the medicine jar had been dealt with, and the stench in the air gradually dissipated.
The emperor felt relieved, but when he saw the girl Tang Cheng, he felt a headache. It was a huge mistake to let Tang Si refine the potion.
This time, the imperial doctors would probably think that Tang Si's creation of a strengthening potion was a lucky coincidence and they would all give up the idea.
Perhaps no one will dare to ask Tang Si to make body-strengthening potions in the future.
Lessons from the past.
This time it's a stink agent, what if it turns into poison gas next time...
The emperor was horrified.
It's too dangerous.
Forget it, let’s send her out of the palace as soon as possible.
This palace can't stand her trouble.
However, as a wise ruler who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments, the emperor was broad-minded. The fact that Tang Cheng refined the stinking potion was just an accident, and it was nothing compared to the huge benefits he gained from taking the body-strengthening potion.
"Tang Si, you have contributed a lot by offering me the body-strengthening potion. I will reward you handsomely!"
"Your Majesty, can I specify the reward?" Tang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard the reward, and he couldn't wait to interrupt the emperor's next words.
Everyone was stunned.
This Fourth Miss Tang made the Jingyang Palace stink to high heaven, but the Emperor not only did not blame her, he also decided to reward her. She even dared to ask for a reward.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
