Chapter 42: Pursuit
Jixue Courtyard, a small bamboo house in Mengbai. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"When did you like to tinker with spices?" Meng Bai got this box of spices and was slightly surprised. The kitten in his eyes doesn't like red makeup, and she doesn't like this kind of vulgar atmosphere, and she always has a girl's unique green atmosphere.
"Help me see what kind of incense it is. Do you have...... Something anomalous, or poisonous. Qingge had to ask him for help. In this palace, she doesn't have any backers, and Mengbai is the only person she is familiar with and knowledgeable.
"You...... But there was some trouble. Mengbai took the box and swept his gaze over her.
"I'm fine. Just a little trouble. Don't worry, I can solve it myself. Qingge stood aside with his hands down and said obediently. Last time, because Mengbai manipulated the matter of repentance, he was almost found out by the night. This time, Qingge didn't want to cause any more trouble for Mengbai. I have already made up my mind that I will stand alone.
Mengbai took her look in his eyes. Obviously a delicate kitten, but his eyes are flexible and firm. Hooked lips and smiled, one step closer to the goal.
He picked up a slender piece of bamboo and began to look through the box of spices. Although the incense is finely chopped, it can still be distinguished by color and material. Mengbai lined up a few pieces of white paper on the table, blindly picking out the spices.
A quarter of an hour later. After comparing the crumbs in the box and the paper repeatedly, and sniffing each of the crumbs on the paper carefully. Mengbai looked up. "There are seven spices in this benzoin: sandalwood, agarwood, stack incense, borneol, nail incense, frankincense, and musk. There is no poison in it. ”
This result is not surprising to Qingge. I watched it in the TV series in my previous life. Fighting back and forth, how can it be cracked so easily. People have already been caught, but how to use the poison, but they don't know yet. The "he" in Shutong's mouth is also mysterious. A thought suddenly flashed through Qingge's heart. Could it be......
"Although this incense is non-toxic, it also has some clues." Seeing her thoughtful, Mengbai continued.
"This incense is not the incense of Shang Yaosi."
The light song is puzzled.
"The flavor of these scents is mellow. It must have been stored in an ebony box for more than three years. It is for the top grade. There are not a few women in the palace who love to use incense, and the incense of Shangyaosi is consumed very quickly, and it needs to be purchased three or four times a year. You will not be able to save these incense. In addition, the ladies prefer the light smell of the new incense. Therefore, Shang Yaosi never picks such an expensive and unpleasant old incense. ”
The more I listened to the light song, the more surprised I became. He knew all these complicated trivial matters in the palace clearly. What else did he not know?
The incense is not from the Shang Yao Division, it must be the master of Shutong. This at least proves that she does have a "master". And, he is very protective of him. Come to think of it. Qingge was very unhappy in his heart. Usually Dredging is also very protective of her. But in front of that master, she has nothing to compare. A kind of frustration of being abandoned and betrayed faintly rose in my heart.
"Thank you." Qingge put away the incense box dejectedly.
"You don't want to know, whose incense belongs to?" Mengbai whispered in her ear.
Qingge opened her apricot eyes, "You know this, too?" ”
"Call the master." Mengbai slowly lay back on the green bamboo chair.
She's kind of found out. Although Mengbai looks like he is kneading arbitrarily in front of outsiders, he is so strong in his bones. Since he has become his own master. I always want to find a sense of control in her. As long as Qingge lowered his eyebrows and called the master, he would be like a well-fed fox, squinting, and he would be satisfied.
When Qingge thought of his expression, his heart itched. Ma Yu picked up the plate of green plums that were always available in the house, and knelt beside him like a treasure, staring at his stunning side face with flickering eyes.
The girl in front of her is like a soft and obedient kitten begging for the mercy of her master. He was the only one in the clean pupils. Seeing Mengbai's heart, his heart trembled. Looking down further, the water chestnut mouth is slightly hooked. A hint of cunning is revealed. Mengbai secretly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and was almost deceived by this little girl.
Qingge saw that he didn't react. I thought I was still holding the master's shelf. So he picked up a green plum and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mengbai was caught off guard, and before he could react, he instinctively opened his mouth. waited until Qingmei stuffed it in, and then remembered that she was actually feeding him. His face turned red.
The beautiful man in front of him has a round green plum in his mouth, his face is bulging, and the delicate curve of his cheeks is also distorted. He has always been as elegant as a crane, when has he ever been so embarrassed.
A joy to watch with a light song. He actually blushed again! A few days ago, when I taught her the spring * palace * diagram , I didn't blush him. Sure enough, it's just a seventeen-year-old boy.
No longer teasing him, Qingge blinked: "Master, whose incense is this?"
Only then did Mengbai come back to his senses, regain his complexion, and said, "Who this incense is, I can't know exactly." ”
Qingge rolled her eyes in her heart.
Meng Bai's face stiffened when he saw Qingge's expression, and he continued: "There are only three such incense in Beijing. Over time, if you want to check, you can still find it. ”
"There are so many people buying incense, how can you check?"
"I have my own way." Mengbai only said this sentence. It has returned to its clear and elegant appearance.
"Okay, thank you." It's really something that no dream can do. Although Qingge didn't know what method Mengbai would use. But with common sense, this is an extremely time-consuming and laborious investigation. In the 21st century, if the police uncle wants to do such a mass investigation, he also needs to go out and investigate for ten days and half a month without sleep.
Say goodbye to Mengbai and return to Qingming Temple, it's dinner time. Qingge was ruthless and told Guangniang not to send food to Shutong. He quietly leaned on the window of the firewood room and looked inside.
In the messy firewood room with no lights, Shutong sat quietly against the wall with his head down, motionless. If it weren't for the fact that her chest was still rising and falling slightly, she would have thought that she had been killed.
How to dredge Tong, to be honest, I haven't thought about it yet. I only felt angry and a little pity. Although Miao Ling always follows Qingge's side, she is not as sensible as Shu Tongli.
The affairs in this courtyard, Qingge never thought of taking care of it, Mama Sun was old, and Mama Li was an idler. Since the light song moved in, all the big and small things are taken care of by Shutong. Receiving the moon silver, spending the degree, rewarding the little eunuchs who came to do things, and the gifts and gifts between the princesses and princes, Qingge never worried about it.
It wasn't until Shutong was locked up that she knew that she had to receive a lot of gifts every day, and she had a lot of gifts back. The long list made her uncomfortable. This can realize how busy Shutong is on weekdays. What a delicate person.
It's ironic that she didn't notice her goodness until she betrayed herself. Such a person will also plot himself, and Qingge suddenly discovered that this is the real ** life - cruel, bloody, suspicion, and defense.
It's time to do something about it.
