Chapter 148: Insidious Means
Chu Nuo sighed, waved his hand and said, "Although there is a problem with this incense, it is still uncertain, you don't make a noise, just do your own thing." "What Chu Nuo said is true, because the poison in this incense and the result of her pulse diagnosis are not the same poison, otherwise it would not be difficult for her to die of her soul.
"I'll go out to breathe, you take care of the mother." Chu Nuo said to Chun Tao and Qiu Ju.
"But"
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone notice." Chu Nuo reassured Chun Tao and Qiu Ju, and pushed the door and walked out alone.
Standing still in a remote corner of Wen Ningxuan, Chu Nuo leaned against the wall and did not move, one, two, three, as soon as Chu Nuo silently said three in his mouth, Yun Qinglan's figure flashed out of nowhere.
The first thing Yun Qinglan asked Chu Nuo was not how Concubine Wen was doing, but asked, "They didn't bully you, right?" ”
Chu Nuo glanced at Yun Qinglan, "You are the only one who bullied me." And he was powerless to resist, thinking that he had always been eaten tofu by Yun Qinglan recently, Chu Nuo burst into tears in his heart.
Yun Qinglan smiled and said, "That's the problem." ”
"No problem with your size, okay, don't talk nonsense with you, I have serious business. You let Mo Wuying go to the queen to squat and watch, I'm afraid Concubine Wen's affairs are indispensable to her. Chu Nuo said with a troubled face.
"I've already arranged for Mo Wuying to go." Yun Qinglan said indifferently.
"What? Do you not know the prophet? Chu Nuo said in surprise.
Yun Qinglan patted Chu Nuo's head and said, "I just guessed." ”
"How do you guess that?" Chu Nuo felt that Yun Qinglan had to have this ability, and that was the ancient version of Sherlock Holmes.
Yun Qinglan didn't hide anything from Chu Nuo, and Chu Nuo would tell him everything he wanted to know, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess that this kind of open and secret struggle is just a word of interest." The queen has no children under her knees, so Long Mingyu is her only hope, but Long Mingyu is extremely filial, so once Long Mingyu ascends the throne as the emperor, I am afraid that the position of the queen mother will still be left to Concubine Wen. ”
Chu Nuo patted his thigh and said, "Yes, it makes sense." But the harem competes for favor, and everyone seems to be an enemy. Then Chu Nuo thought about it again.
"This is like you said, this kind of poison is strange, and the ordinary concubines who can get it don't have that ability." Yun Qinglan's inference was not leaky, "Don't worry about this matter, just detoxify, and leave all the other problems to me." Yun Qinglan smoothed Chu Nuo's frowning brows in thought.
As soon as Chu Nuo thought of having Yun Qinglan settle everything, Chu Nuo, who was still big, suddenly smiled, "Okay, but if you have any new discoveries, remember to tell me." "She is still very interested in the ins and outs of this case.
"You must know everything." Yun Qinglan smiled and kissed Chu Nuo's forehead and said.
The incense burner was withdrawn, and Chu Nuo began to sit on the chair in a daze, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju were anxious in their eyes, but they didn't want to come forward to disturb them, for fear of interrupting Chu Nuo's train of thought.
Back in the house, in fact, Chu Nuo was really just sitting there in a pure daze, where there was any idea, just waiting for lunch to come.
said that it was lunch, but the dining table was not needed at all, because Concubine Wen couldn't get out of bed now, and the meal could only be eaten casually on a small table on the bed.
"Wait a minute." Chu Nuo stretched out his hand to stop the meal that Chun Tao was carrying.
Chun Tao knew that Chu Nuo wanted to test for poison, so he allocated a part of each dish according to Chu Nuo's instructions, and then Chu Nuo began to sprinkle all kinds of strange medicinal powders on Naxi's samples.
Chun Tao and Qiu Ju looked at Chu Nuo a little strangely, didn't they all use silver needles for drug testing? They don't know what to do, the poison in this world is strange, the more powerful the poison, the more difficult it is to detect, and the silver needle is also useful for dealing with arsenic.
"Huh? Do you suspect that you are going in the wrong direction? Chu Nuo put away the tools and was puzzled, the most likely place to be poisoned was not tested for toxicity.
"This dish?"
"Oh, the dish is fine, you can serve it to the mother." Chu Nuo waved his hand and approved the release.
Chun Tao and Qiu Ju breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "It's troublesome." The two of them bent down to tidy up the meal, then placed a pair of bamboo chopsticks held in brocade on the tray and prepared to serve the meal.
"Wait!" Chu Nuo suddenly shouted, and the two maids' frightened hands trembled and almost threw the dishes and chopsticks in their hands to the ground.
"What's going on again?"
"These chopsticks are from Haruka?" Chu Nuo asked, staring at the pair of black chopsticks on the brocade.
"yes, yes."
Chu Nuo picked up the pair of chopsticks, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them, and sure enough, a strange aroma came to his nose, and Chu Nuo stretched out the tip of his tongue and touched the tip of the chopsticks under the stunned gaze of the two maids.
"Oh yes! It's insidious. Chu Nuo immediately felt that the chopsticks were wrong, the surface of the chopsticks was eighty percent poisoned, no wonder he chose this spring fragrant wood, because the aroma it carries can completely cover up the smell of poison.
The two little girls couldn't understand it, and they didn't understand what Chu Nuo despised with a pair of chopsticks, "That, can you let the slave maid serve the maid to eat first?" ”
"Go, go, by the way, change to a pair of ordinary bamboo chopsticks, who gave these chopsticks?"
"These chopsticks? It was sent by Concubine De, is it also "The two maids are already pale at the moment, isn't it bad for each concubine to send something to Jing Ningxuan?"
"Concubine De?" Chu Nuo muttered, it seems that he is a master of no low grade. However, this time it is also strange, although the poison on the chopsticks is unusual, it is not rare, and it is not similar to the poison in Concubine Wen's body.
Chu Nuo felt that she had fallen into a mess, but she now seemed to have stripped out a thread in this mess, and the aroma was the common hidden means of the two poisons found so far, so the next target of the search could already be determined.
"Which of you can help me find out the rouge gouache that Niangniang has been using since half a year ago, especially the rouge gouache that Niangniang has been using now." Chu Nuo commanded.
The two maids glanced at each other, and Qiu Ju said, "Please come with the slave." ”
I saw that Qiu Ju took out more than five exquisite wooden boxes from the dresser after a while, and Qiu Ju cleaned up and said: "Now Niangniang's appearance is not as good as before, and in order to maintain her appearance, she can only rely on these things to maintain." ”
Chu Nuo opened all the wooden boxes, a piece of rouge flower fragrance rushed to her face, Chu Nuo pulled out a hosta on his head and picked out a little bit of those wooden boxes and gently grinded it on his fingertips, and after Chu Nuo used the heat of her fingertips to volatilize those aromas, she was full of confidence when she thought that what was left must be poison with a strange smell. However, the facts hit Chu Nuo again, and no strange smell appeared in the five rouge gouache cassettes.
