Chapter 236: Water Lotus

Qin Yun's face was disgraced, and he thanked Wan Lao, "I'm sorry for you to run in person, and Qin will come to thank you another day." ”

Wan Lao left a prescription and instructed the precautions, so he didn't stay longer. Qin Yun wanted to get up and send it, but Qin E, who had been silent, said, "I'll send Wan Lao out." ”

Qin Yun was exhausted, and nodded when he heard the words.

On the way, Wan Lao Yi pointed out: "Miss Qin is kind-hearted, and she will be blessed." ”

Qin E understood and said with a smile: "You have lifted me, but I can't bear to save people, but there are other reasons." ”

Wan Lao smiled: "One thought of killing and one thought of becoming benevolent, no matter what it is." ”

"But sometimes, I really want to know why they want to kill. Qin E stopped, "Wan Lao, do you know what poison there is in the world, death is the same as drowning?"

Wan Lao paused, looked at Qin E in surprise, saw her serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "I know one of this poison, it's called 'Water Lotus'." ”

Qin E said in her heart, water lotus, what a beautiful name.

Wan Lao seemed to see what she was thinking, and said, "Miss, don't look at the beautiful name, it's very toxic." This medicine tastes slightly bitter, and it usually attacks two hours after taking the poison, and it kills immediately after the poison, and the Daluo Immortal can't save it. The deceased's face was bruised and swollen, and his fingernails were purple, resembling symptoms of drowning. And because there will be a dark fragrance on the body of the poisoned person, like the fragrance of lotus flowers, it is named 'water lotus'. ”

When Qin E heard this, the symptoms were really very similar to what Imperial Doctor Hu said.

"Is this poison so good?"

Wan Lao looked at her silently, and Qin E said: "It's not that I want it, it's that I suspect that Qin Yu's death back then was not drowning, but the poison of this 'water lotus'." ”

This time it was very surprising to Wan Lao, "This poison is a strange poison in southern Xinjiang, few people know it, I only saw it once in the early years, how could the third prince of your mansion fall for it?"

Qin E was also a little surprised when she heard it, and Wan Lao said: "Could it be a mistake, this poison is almost extinct in southern Xinjiang, and it is too incredible to appear in the mansion." ”

Am I thinking wrong?

Qin E couldn't help but ask herself.

But her intuition told her that her guess was correct.

Seeing off Wan Lao, Qin E returned to Lanwan Garden, and as soon as she entered the door, she ran over and whispered: "Miss, my mother has sent a letter, saying that she wants to see you." ”

It turned out that Xia Zhu was inconvenient to show up, so Qin E agreed with her that if there was an emergency, she would let someone from Hui'an Pharmaceutical Store bring her medicine.

That night, after the keys were placed in each room, Qin E asked Eleven to take her out of the house quietly.

Looking at the high wall behind her, Qin E couldn't bear to think about whether she should remind her father to strengthen the guards in the mansion. Then she laughed again, and she was the one who came and went over the wall all day long.

Qin E came to Hui'an Medicine Store with a familiar car, and Eleven stayed outside as usual, this time Qin E asked, "Why don't you want to go in?"

Eleven smiled and said, "It's not that they can't enter, but I don't think they want to see our Qilin Sect people, so forget it." ”

Qin E couldn't help but think of the several meetings between Meng Jingke and Li Lu, and the scenes were not very good. Thinking that he had already made a marriage with Meng Jingke, I believed that Li Lu had also gotten the news, no matter whether his attitude towards him before was true or false, he was a little embarrassed at this time. Thinking like this, she didn't ask any more, and at the same time decided to find a place to place Xia Zhu as soon as possible.

Qin E walked into Anhui Medicine Store with a hard head, Xia Zhu was sitting on the edge of the bed with an anxious face, and saw Qin E happily said, "I guess you will come over tonight, and you haven't dared to sleep." ”

"You're in such a hurry to come over to me, what's wrong?"

Xia Zhu said: "I remember who touched that purchase order!"

"Who is it?"

"It's a nightingale!"

Nightingale?Qin E felt familiar, but she didn't think about it for a while. Seeing this, Xia Zhu said: "The nightingale is the maid who served the third master, the one who hanged himself after the third master died." ”

It turned out to be her!

"How did you come up with that?"

Xia Zhu stretched out his hand and pointed to a small porcelain vase on the table, "Speaking of which, thanks to it." ”

Qin E walked over to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a bottle of loquat dew.

Qin E looked at Xia Zhu with some puzzlement, and Xia Zhu told her about what she remembered.

It turns out that Xia Zhu has some asthma, and every autumn he loves to get sick, and he can't maintain it well, so he can't live in peace for a winter. Only the Shen family's secret loquat dew works, so she has to eat a few bottles every year after autumn.

That year, she had a cough again, and it was very serious, so the Shen family took the loquat dew made by the Shen family to her.

At noon that day, Nightingale came to give her a pair of cards, when she had just finished taking her medicine and was about to put the bottle back in the cupboard. When the nightingale saw it, she enthusiastically wanted to put the medicine for Xia Zhu, but she didn't hold it steady and dropped the medicine bottle to the ground.

At that time, the Shen family had been copied and XX had also been confiscated, and the only remaining secret medicine of the Shen family in the hands of the Shen family was very precious. Xia Zhu was grateful for Shen's kindness, and was very careful when taking it every day, for fear of wasting a drop.

Xia Zhu was heartbroken when he saw the broken medicine bottle, and when he saw that there was still half a bottle of loquat dew that had not been spilled, he went out to find a clean bottle and carefully filled the remaining half bottle of medicine.

Afterwards, the nightingale confessed again and again, Xia Zhu was kind-hearted, seeing that she didn't mean it, and she was so anxious that she cried, and she didn't blame her.

It's just a small episode in life, and it's gone. When Xia Zhu saw the loquat dew, he couldn't help but think of Shen's kindness to him, and inadvertently remembered this matter.

"I wrote the list before I took the medicine, and I put it on the table after I finished writing, and I took it to Huang Bi after the nightingale left. So only the nightingale had seen it during this period, and it should have been her who secretly changed the number on the list while I was away. She is Qin Yu's maid, and she often goes in and out of Fuliu Courtyard, and when she delivers goods in the outer courtyard, she quietly moves her hands and feet in it, and it is not difficult to hide the extra stones, I guess the stones by the lake may be what she went to change. ”

"But why did she do this, and what good would it do her to kill Qin Yu?"

"If she really did it, either she had an enmity with Qin Yu, or she was instructed by someone. Xia Zhu said: "But in my impression, the nightingale takes care of Qin Yu very carefully, and Qin Yu is so small, it is unlikely that he will have a grudge against him and seek his life." Even if there is, it should be Hefang's. ”

Qin E nodded, "If she has a grudge against the Fang Clan, she should harm the Fang Clan, and it is unreasonable to deliberately kill Qin Yu." ”

Xia Zhu said: "So I think someone must have instructed her to do this." Xu is interested in profits, and her interests are motivated, so she does bad things. ”

Qin E felt that Xia Zhu's analysis made sense, but she felt that things were not so simple. Xia Zhu only knew about the pebbles, and didn't know the inference of Imperial Doctor Hu.

Thinking of this, Qin E asked her, "By the way, have you noticed anything unusual about Qin Yu's corpse?
