The gods are also forced to open

Chapter 263

Shuxia agreed to Hina's request.

Hina is good at perfumery. She asked Shuxia to help her get a piece of the emperor's hair. The hair is easy to keep fragrance. She can prepare the corresponding spice according to the strange fragrance of the emperor.
-
It was night, and a round of bright and clear full moon hung in the blue sky, sprinkled with silvery light.

Shu Xia quietly sneaked into the palace, and white smoke rose from the burning ambergris in the emperor's bedroom.

The fragrance is fishy, ​​and the fishy is sweet.

The emperor was not in the palace, and Shu Xia went to the main hall.

In the huge palace hall, the palace lanterns were brightly lit, and the figures danced slightly in the candlelight.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a dazed expression.

There was only one person standing under the steps, Prime Minister Xiao.

"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think is wrong with me? I have been suffering from insomnia for a long time."

"Maybe it's because your majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and you are too tired, so your body will inevitably be a little tired. I implore your majesty to take good care of your body. The Kingdom of Han needs you."

The emperor's movements were a little slow, and there was a trace of bewilderment on his haggard face.

He froze for a while before opening his mouth to speak.

"Xiao Aiqing, according to the usual practice, you give me a head massage, so that I can fall asleep easily."

"I obey, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Xiao saluted, and walked behind His Majesty Zhi to massage the acupoints on his head.

He felt a little relaxed.

"How come my group of imperial doctors can't learn such a simple massage method? Every time they massage the acupuncture points on my head, it doesn't help."

"Only after you give me a massage can you make me fall asleep."

"It is my honor to be able to do a little bit for the emperor."

Prime Minister Xiao's massage techniques were constantly changing, with moderate strength, the beating candlelight reflected on the emperor's cheeks, and wisps of white smoke rose from the censer in the hall.

……

After the emperor fell asleep, Prime Minister Xiao left the palace.

After there was no one around the emperor, Shu Xia came out from the dark and pulled out one of the emperor's hair.

The smell on the emperor's body was the same as that in the censer, so Shuxia also took away some of the burning spices in the censer by the way.
-
Hina carefully identified the fragrance on the emperor's hair and the spices in the incense burner, and she was proficient in perfumery and quickly came to a conclusion.

"This is Gu Xiang. Although it is a spice, it has no taste, and it will not be noticed when mixed with any spice. Long-term inhalation of this spice will cause great disturbance to the human mind. , hazy, in a state of severe insomnia."

"Someone poured incense on the emperor." Hina was very sure, she believed that her judgment would not be wrong. "The fragrance of the Gu will confuse people's hearts. People who are infected by the fragrance of the Gu will reduce their thinking, believe what they hear the first time, and take action."

"In short, a person who has been infected by Gu's fragrance is like a marionette on a string, and can be used by others. One point is awake, and nine points are in a trance."

Hina frowned slightly, Gu Xiang was unique to Ning, how could it go to the emperor of Han?It's incredible.

"Can you make an antidote for it?" No matter what the fragrance is, as long as you can make an antidote, everything is easy to handle.

"Not for the time being. Gu Xiang was banned by Ning country in the early years. I don't know how it was introduced into Han country. Although I know what the ingredients of Gu Xiang are, the ingredients of the antidote have yet to be confirmed."

"Please give me some time, I will definitely be able to concoct the antidote."
-
The emperor's general Shu Xia and Yuan Chen's marriage contract was dissolved, and the news that he gave Yuan Chen and Xiao Muyu a marriage instead spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the entire capital.

People in the capital are talking about this matter.

The court ministers also thought it was inappropriate. After all, the rules of the Hundred Flowers Festival were passed down from the ancestors, and there were no exceptions. This time, the emperor went against the tradition, and the ministers were quite dissatisfied.

No matter how much the ministers in the court objected, the emperor still insisted on going his own way and resolutely bestowed a marriage on Yuan Chen and Xiao Muyu.
