Xu You's expression changed slightly, but Zhao Qian on the side slapped his thigh!
"This is a good idea!"
Zhao Qian said to Shouquan with a stern face: "Shouquan, go and put out the incense burner first."
"Your Majesty, you can find someone with a sensitive nose in the Imperial Hospital." Zhao Jin smiled and glanced at Xu You.
"I'm worried that the Imperial Master won't believe me later."
What Zhao Jin said was quite meaningful, and he directly pointed out the contradiction in it.
Hearing this, Zhao Qian's eyes deepened and he looked at Xu You who was standing aside intentionally or unintentionally.
If there is really something wrong with the incense burner and the scent of the medicine is man-made, is the evil spirit real, or is it someone pretending to be a ghost?
If Li Gui is fake, Xu You's words are obviously very problematic.
Xu You twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I really don't understand what Marquis Xuanping said. I just expressed my doubts in my heart."
"Furthermore, Pindao did indeed see a ghost that day, otherwise, the talisman would not have spontaneously ignited."
Zhao Qian suddenly recalled that on the day Xu You performed the ritual, the talisman had indeed burned without lighting it, and he felt even more hesitant in his heart.
"Spontaneous combustion?"
Zhao Jin suddenly laughed out loud, "Master Imperial Master, but the spontaneous combustion of this talisman paper has anything to do with whether there is a ghost or not?"
His expression was a bit puzzled, "Without evil spirits, the talisman can spontaneously ignite. This is not difficult. If the Imperial Master wants to see it, I can also perform a talisman spontaneous combustion for the Imperial Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jin said again: "No, not only the talisman, but this furniture, I can also make it spontaneously combust."
Zhao Qian frowned and looked at Xu You, his voice was deep and there was no hint of happiness or anger, but Zhao Jin knew that Zhao Qian was definitely not in a happy mood now.
"Is what the Imperial Master, Marquis Xuanping said true?"
Xu You cursed secretly in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "I don't know this matter clearly, but what I have learned and seen all along is that the talismans are incompetent because of powerful ghosts, Yin Qi and Taoism. Fire spontaneously ignites.”
He was not sure whether Zhao Jin really knew about this method or just deceived him, so Xu You did not dare to deny Zhao Jin's statement outright.
"Nothing," Zhao Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "When the problem here is over, I can perform it for the Imperial Master. By then, the Imperial Master will have seen and heard something."
Xu You's breathing sank for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I'd like to thank you, Mr. Hou!"
"You're welcome."
Seeing Xu You feeling aggrieved and unable to do anything but suppress it, Zhao Jin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
After Shouquan put out the incense burner, he went to the Imperial Hospital to find someone to come to him.
"Your Majesty, people are here."
Following Shouchun was a middle-aged imperial doctor with a stern face. A quick glance showed that he was not an easy person to get along with.
After Xu You saw the visitor, his expression changed slightly and his eyes flickered.
Zhao Jin, who had been paying attention to Xu You, took all this into consideration.
It seems that this imperial doctor is not Xu You or the prince's person, otherwise, Xu You would not have such a solemn expression.
Xu You was even a little panicked now. He was not sure whether the scent of medicine still remained in the incense burner, and whether he could identify the medicine.
However, once it is confirmed that Zhao Qian's nightmare may be caused by the incense burner rather than the ghost, Zhao Qian's trust in him will undoubtedly be shaken.
However, he didn't have any reason or position to stop Zhao Jin, so he could only secretly be annoyed that he was careless.
However, even if Xu You really thought that the smell of medicine might remain in the incense burner, he would have difficulty dealing with it.
He can't just replace the incense burner.
The incense burner used by the emperor was engraved with golden dragons and golden phoenixes. No one except the emperor could use these, and no craftsman dared to make such an incense burner for him.
Furthermore, the items in the palace were made by specialized official craftsmen. They were so exquisite and complicated in craftsmanship that it would be too difficult for others to make them exactly the same.
To put it another way, even if Xu You could make an identical incense burner, how would he replace it?
Although Xu You was thinking a lot, on the other side, Zhao Jin and the imperial doctor had already walked to the incense burner.
Zhao Jin reached out and violently took apart the incense burner, scattering the ashes all over the floor.
The incense ashes in the incense burner are cleaned regularly, so checking the incense ashes is of no use. Zhao Jin directly picked up one of the fragments of the incense burner and put it between his nose and smelled it.
"Shou Quan, come and help me."
Shouquan quickly walked to Zhao Qian and helped Zhao Qian to the incense burner.
A very faint medicinal smell, mixed with the smell of ambergris, poured into Zhao Jin's nose.
This medicinal smell was not like the two medicinal smells he had smelled before, but more like the smell of the two medicinal smells fused together.
Opposite Zhao Jin was the imperial physician. He also took a fragment of the incense burner and smelled it.
He smelled for a long time, and when Zhao Jin took away the fragments of the incense burner, he was still sniffing. He even took away the fragments of the incense burner, covered his nose, and after a while, he put the fragments of the incense burner between his nose again.
The doctor's brows furrowed more and more tightly, almost becoming a knot.
Zhao Qian looked anxiously and couldn't help asking: "How?"
"I did smell the smell of medicine inside, and it seemed like a mixture of the two previous medicines." Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
It should be that in order to achieve their purpose, they used the two medicines alternately before, so the smell of the two medicines was left in the incense burner and mixed together.
"What Marquis Xuanping said is true." The imperial doctor put down the fragments of the incense burner and confirmed Zhao Jin's words.
"The imperial physician may be able to tell what kind of medicine this is?"
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and looked at the imperial physician opposite, and asked in a deep voice.
Xu You looked at the two of them with a cold face, his thoughts swirling in his mind.
At this point, Zhao Qian must have become suspicious. It is probably impossible to get rid of Zhao Jin today.
He must find a way to stabilize Zhao Qian first and not let Zhao Qian doubt him.
Xu You half-closed his eyes and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is a problem with the incense burner. However, there are indeed evil spirits in Your Majesty's palace, so we must solve it."
The imperial doctor on the side never believed in these theories of gods and ghosts, and even disliked these Taoist priests because people often used talisman water to treat diseases.
He immediately mocked and said: "Master Imperial Master, since there is something wrong with the incense burner, why not first find out the person behind the scenes?"
"After all, sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts."
Xu You raised his eyelids and looked sharply, "If the evil ghost is not solved as soon as possible, as time goes by, the ghost will become stronger and stronger, and I am afraid it will not be solved by then."
Zhao Qian's face was grave, and he remained silent after hearing Xu You's words.
"Your Majesty," Xu You added fire, "There is no way this medicine can make Your Majesty see ghosts."
Xu You's words directly revealed what was most confusing about Zhao Qian.
Is there any medicine in this world that can make him see ghosts just by smelling it?
The imperial doctor wanted to refute Xu You, but after hearing this last sentence, the refutation he was about to speak was blocked.
