Chapter 455: The Storm Rises (27)
The ashes in his hands were still a little warm, and they must have just burned out.
Xia Qing put her hand to her nose and sniffed the smell carefully. Strangely, she always felt that she had smelled this smell somewhere, or rather, this smell was something that she had smelled for a long, long time........
"Avoid Zixiang!"
It occurred to her mind where the prototype of the scent was.
In the drunken fairy building, those girls who sell their bodies will light this incense in the room every day! This incense is still mixed by Mei Niang herself, and the effect of a few herbs in it is still found by her personally in the medicine book for Mei Niang.
The avoidance incense that Mei Niang made by herself before was too hurtful, but this was improved by her and Mei Niang together, and it didn't hurt so much compared to the previous one.
But now the focus doesn't seem to be that.
Why is there a Shunzi incense that she and Mei Niang mix together? This is the palace. No matter how good Mei Niang's incense is sold in the capital, it is only sold well in the group of noble ladies in the capital, but things like Shunzi incense should only appear in the hands of the girls.
She remembered that once, a noble lady asked Mei Niang to buy Shunzi incense, saying that she wanted to prevent her master's concubine from conceiving a child, and at that time Mei Niang sternly rejected the noble lady, even though the noble lady was her friend, but she still did not allow this incense to spread.
She herself said that using this kind of incense is too hurtful and unreasonable. It is used on the girls in the Qinglou so that they can not be hurt twice, but the normal girls outside should not smell this.
Xia Qing clenched his fists, and the ash of the avoidance incense in his hand swayed to the ground.
"Hey, why didn't you look for anything........"
Bai Youshi suddenly walked in from the door, Xia Qing turned around sharply and hid his hand behind him.
"Hey, why are you doing this all of a sudden....... what's in your hand?"
He was obviously curious about Xia Qing's inexplicable actions. In the past, although Xia Qing often did some strange actions, it was the first time he had seen such strange actions like today.
"No..... no...... I haven't looked for it here yet, so you can go to yourself........"
"You take out what you have in your hand first. Don't hide it. ”
Bai Youshi's face was still the same as that big-faced palace man, and he folded his hands on his chest, his eyes full of doubt.
Because it wasn't Bai Youshi's face, Xia Qing didn't feel a trace of oppression and only felt funny, Bai Youshi, who was facing a woman's face, said serious words in her mouth, and she couldn't help it.
"Hahahaha....stop talking, I can't help but want to laugh......."
"Seriously, what the hell are you doing!"
Xia Qing lowered his head and began to think. Bai Youshi is more familiar with her now. No matter which way you think about it, he can't hurt her for a while. If you tell him something like this, it should be, and there won't be any problems, right?
"It's this incense. ”
Xia Qing stretched out his hand, and there was still a little warm powder left in his hand. Although the powder is only a little bit, it still gives off a lot of fragrance. This fragrance is coarse and smells very good, no different from the ordinary spices used to smoke clothes. No one would have thought about what it was really for.
"I think it's incredible that this incense will appear here......."
She didn't know if Bai Yu Shi understood what she meant, so she put her hand in front of Bai Yu Shi's face so that he could smell the smell.
"This incense...... I seem to have smelled it..... it's in your drunken fairy building! ”
Bai Youshi seemed to remember something, and slammed his hand, "Yes! There can be no mistake! But I smelled this smell on your sign, and I asked her what kind of fragrance it was, it smelled so good, and she still didn't answer me." ”
"Naturally, she won't answer you..... how can she tell you about the purpose of this incense......."
Xia Qing returned quietly, and the smile on her lips did not stop.
"It seems that you are also a frequent visitor to the Drunken Immortal Building. You're so familiar with even our top girl......."
"Hey, now isn't the time for jokes. Tell me first, what is the purpose of this incense and why is it unusual to appear here?"
Bai Youshi's face straightened, coughed a few times, and his face was slightly red, "Man, it's not normal to go to the Qinglou......."
"Okay, then I said it. ”
Xia Qing didn't plan to tease Bai Yu anymore.
"This incense is a shunzi incense. ”
"What to avoid ..... and ....... to avoid children?"
Even if it was a well-informed Baiyou, he was shocked when he heard this. The face is full of embarrassment.
"No wonder, all of you girls have a similar smell on them........"
His eyes drifted to Xia Qing's body,
"Hey, don't look at me! I haven't used this incense! I don't sell my body! You don't know!"
"I'll just look at you, what are you excited about. ”
Bai Yu Shi was beaten with a low face. "Well, then I know what you're surprised by now. ”
He paused, as if admiring Xia Qing's ugly face,
"This kind of incense is used by the girls in Qinglou. Presumably, this concubine Niangniang, whose heart is higher than the sky, will never allow herself to use this incense, so there is only one possibility, that is, this incense is rewarded........ so to speak, you understand. ”
"I understand what you're talking about. But I think it's strange that this incense is created by Mei Niang, and she hasn't even given it to her friends, so how can it appear here?
Xia Qing was already frowning deeply as she spoke.
She had never doubted Mei Niang. She had always treated her as a savior, so she never noticed anything suspicious about her.
Now that I think about it, it is very abnormal for Mei Niang to appear.
She knows so many people, and she comes into contact with some palace nobles and heroes on the rivers and lakes. It's normal for her to have some background.
But she remembered that once, Mochen had said something very strange to her.
He said, don't underestimate Mei Niang, the power behind her is not something you can imagine.
"Baiyushi....... are you familiar with Mei Niang?"
"It's not very familiar, but it's a person I know. ”
"She, no, this Drunken Immortal Building, was she created it alone? No, no, no, no, I said it more clearly........
"I know what you mean, you mean to say, she, is there a boss behind her?"
"Yes. ”
Xia Qing was shocked by her own idea, but she had to have this idea.
"I always feel that such a huge drunken immortal building, how can it be possible to rely on Mei Niang alone..... how can it be until now?"
"Your suspicion is reasonable. But when you see this Shunzi Xiang today, you suspect her, and it's really a little dull. ”
Baiyu's voice sounded unfazed,
"The fact that there is someone behind her has spread all over the world for a long time. It's just that I haven't been able to find out who that person really is. ”
