Zhu'er was neat and came back before Guo Long sent someone to pick her up.

"Cucumber soaked in cold fragrant leaf juice, a grass native to the Western Regions, grows in extremely cold ice caves, and has a charming aroma that people love, but ...... It is often used for boudoir pleasure, but it is not noticed by us because it is easily covered by other smells. ”

Yu Mingzhi was curious, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be toxic, right?"

Zhu'er nodded, "It's really non-toxic, but with another thing, it's something that will kill people." ”

Yu Mingzhi's expression was awe-inspiring, and the Yao family was so vicious that she wanted her life. She looked out the window, Chun Tao and Chun Xing, two lazy people chatting at the gate of the courtyard.

"What's that?"

"The ash of the Flaming Mountains of the Western Regions. Zhu'er said: "If two things, one cold and one hot, enter the body at the same time, the toxicity of mixing will make people gradually feel sleepy and tired, often drowsy, and finally can't wake up, like a violent death." ”

Yu Mingzhi's eyes were cold, "It's exactly the same as my situation in the past two days, but ......" She stood up and looked around, where did the mountain ash come from?

Zhu'er also looked at everything in the house, carefully observing each one.

Mother Qi came back from the outside and said with a smile: "Grandma sent someone, and the young lady is ready to go." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Mom, bring me a hat." ”

"Howler. Mother Qi hurriedly went to the wardrobe, took out a white gauze hat, and shook it to give it to Yu Mingzhi, but the brim of the hat accidentally wiped the candlestick next to the bed.

"Boom", the candlesticks overturned, and the lampshades and red candle bones rolled across the carpet.

Yu Mingzhi looked fixedly, and Huo Ran got up.

"This?!"

She and Pearls shouted at about the same time.

They looked at each other, and their mothers and fathers-in-law were confused, looking at them blankly.

"What's wrong with this?"

When Zhu'er picked up the candle, she quickly broke a small piece of it and tucked it into her sleeve, and the rest was inserted back in.

"Nothing. Yu Mingzhi said perfunctorily, "It's time for us to go, I'll ask my mother to take care of it here." ”

Qi's mother said, "Miss don't worry, I will definitely stare at those two little hooves." ”

Yu Mingzhi hugged her affectionately, "Thank you, Mom." ”

Qi's mother rubbed her shoulder, "I don't hurt you, who else can you hurt?" Be careful on the road, have fun, my aunt is a good person, don't be too restrained." ”

"Good. Yu Mingzhi agreed, took Zhu'er out, and when he passed by Chun Tao and Chun Xing, he deliberately pretended to clear his throat, and the two of them shook their shoulders weakly.

After getting on the sedan chair, Zhu'er saw that there were not many pedestrians on the street, so she followed closely by the window and whispered: "In addition, Zhu'er asked someone to check the movements of Mrs. Guo's second wife, and I heard that she will take her daughter to the temple outside the city early the day after tomorrow to pray for incense." ”

"Is Yao following?"

"They never go together. ”

Yu Mingzhi squinted and smiled, "Very good." ”

Zhu'er hesitated for a moment, "Miss, this matter is not trivial, you really don't need to tell Childe as soon as possible?"

Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "He is injured, so he should recuperate." I'll just take care of this little thing myself. ”

Zhu'er said, "Yes, Miss." ”

When he arrived at the silk village, Yu Mingzhi put on a hat and came out of the sedan chair. Guo Long saw that she was shy, so he didn't ask much, and kindly took her hand to the shelves with silk and silk cloths.

The two of them focused on selecting the fabric, Zhu'er glanced left and right, and withdrew lightly, a young man in dark clothes walked out of the alley opposite, looking like he was wandering around, and when he passed in front of Zhu'er, the palms of the two quickly brushed over.

There was no other movement, and the candle in Zhu'er's hand had already reached the young man's hand.

Zhu'er walked back and forth at the door twice as if nothing had happened, and then returned to the silk village.

After Yu Mingzhi and Guo Long picked out the ingredients, they went to the famous Shixiang Pavilion in Beijing for lunch, and the sedan chair driver sent Yu Mingzhi home, and then she told Zhu'er to go to Yang San's house to spread the news.

She asked Jin Wei to be aggrieved for the time being and inquire about the news about the Li family. As long as there is one thing that can be condemned, the matter of condemnation can be done.

Wait for Jin Wei to inquire about the news and relay it to Qin Ji, and then let him decide whether it can be trusted, and then continue to the next step.

Yu Mingzhi returned to Guo's house, packed up and prepared to take a nap. She behaved calmly and indifferently, which made the two maids of Chuntao and Chunxing breathe a sigh of relief, they had already taken advantage of the opportunity when the young lady went out and her mother was not paying attention, and quietly disposed of the cucumber.

There is no need to light the lamp during the day, Yu Mingzhi sleeps quite peacefully. When I got up, Zhu'er also returned.

"The candle is really specially made, and it is mixed with other things, as for whether it is mountain ash or not, it needs to be identified. But what is certain is that the combination of these two things is the cause of the young lady's discomfort. ”

Yu Mingzhi lazily held his hair in a bun, "You didn't tell Qin Sheren, did you?"

Zhu'er hurriedly replied, "No, never." ”

Yu Mingzhi sighed, "You secretly changed all the candles." ”

"Good. On the way back, Zhu'er bought new candles, and she took out a knife and made all the candles into the ones she wanted to replace.

Yu Mingzhi saw that she was attentive and nodded approvingly.

Soon, on the second day, Yu Mingzhi took Zhu'er and Qi's mother to the temple outside the city to offer incense.

She made a perfunctory show to her mother about this, saying that she made a special trip to ask for a peace charm for Qin Ji to ensure a smooth career for him.

Qi's mother blossomed until she met Guo Zeng and Guo Baofen in the temple.

"Second aunt, let's go to fasting together. Yu Mingzhi was not enthusiastic, but he was not cold, at most he was polite and thoughtful.

Mother Qi didn't expect that Miss would talk to the second lady, so she was busy with her eyes, but it was too late, so Miss and the second lady walked to the dining hall together.

"Mom, don't worry, when Miss sees the second lady here, she has to do her best to save some people from saying it?" Zhu'er persuaded.

Qi's mother sighed, "She and the Yao family are definitely not at ease." ”

Zhu'er held her arm, "With us here, and the Qin She people as the backers of the young lady, my mother doesn't have to worry." ”

"Alas, well. ”

"Miss told us to see what we had to eat, Mom, let's go over quickly." ”

Hearing the sound of talking outside, Yu Mingzhicong felt two things in his sleeve and put them in front of Guo Zeng's, "Can the second aunt recognize this?"

Guo Zeng's expression, which was originally guarded, loosened a little after seeing the two things clearly.

"This, what is this......"

"From my daily eating and drinking, I found unusual things, the things contained in them came from the Western Regions, and our Guo family has been going back and forth to the Western Regions for many years, so it should be very common. ”

Guo Zeng barely calmed down and asked, "What is it?"

"A cold herb and a mountain ash, the person who found out these things told me that not long ago, you were the only one in the Guo family who took some of them. Yu Mingzhi paused, his eyes were deep, and he asked with a smile, "Do you want to kill me, second aunt?"
