Chapter 70: The Fragrance Is Different

"Good daughter, you have to thank His Royal Highness King Chu this time." Luo Yuanwei smiled, he never thought that this daughter would be so competitive and get on the line with the King of Chu so quickly.

After thinking about it carefully, Luo Yuanwei felt that it was right, this daughter is not what it used to be, but wherever there is a shadow of Wuliang Mountain, there is no place to fight for. Although she was masked last time she attended and could hide it from ordinary people, she couldn't hide it from these princes who were all human spirits. It doesn't hurt to know that it's her, as long as the King of Chu is willing to come to the door, if this continues, what he expects can be implemented soon.

"Auntie, go and see your mother, the imperial doctor invited by the King of Chu has already prescribed medicine, you have to worry about the rest, don't forget to thank you."

Luo Rao nodded yes, and then entered the secluded residence.

When she entered the house, she saw her mother sitting lazily at the head of the bed, her hands exposed, her eyes half-open, and her look haggard. There was an empty bowl on the table next to the bed, and there were rice grains on the edge of the bowl, thinking that my mother had just eaten.

"Mother, do you feel better?" Luo Rao sat on the edge of the bed, took Liang Youruo's hand and asked with concern.

Liang Youruo sighed, "What else?" I can't lift my spirits, so I just hold on. ”

She patted Luo Rao's hand, "It's hard for you to still remember, why bother running down from the mountain, it's important to study hard." I heard that Wuliang Mountain is a good place, and if you learn it well, you can also help your brother think about it when the time comes. If there is a chance, let the old man ask for help and guidance, and I will not worry about his career at that time. ”

"If Auntie knows, she will definitely not forget her brother." Luo Rao lowered her gaze, and the concern on her face became a little bitter. But soon she returned to her previous appearance and looked up at Mama Xu, "The Imperial Doctor is here, do you have anything to say?" ”

"I just prescribed some medicine for recuperation, saying that I had to take it for a long time. He smelled that there was nothing wrong with the house, and said that he was not good at investigating carefully, so he could only ask us to find the reason. The doctor seemed to be quite capable, so the old slave also believed a little. He diagnosed his wife with the disease by smell, but the old slave had not yet come up with anything suspicious.

"This doctor is capable, and he can see that it is not food, but smell. It's just that this smelly thing is very mixed, and you have to distinguish them one by one. Luo Rao thought that although the doctor had also smelled it, it was always uneasy not to check it herself. She first looked at the flowers in the room, and she leaned in to smell them, and she didn't think anything was wrong. She turned to look at Mama Xu, and Mama quickly explained that the flowers were changed every day, and the girl who picked the flowers was trustworthy, so there should be nothing wrong.

Luo Rao turned around and looked at the room, what would be the smell that didn't attract attention? Suddenly, she saw the rouge on the table, hurriedly walked over, opened a box and smelled it. Mama Xu explained: "Third Miss, there should be no problem with this. This box of rouge is new, and Madame has not applied rouge since she was in bad spirits, and this one has not been opened for a long time. ”

"And what about the box from before? How does it feel for a mother to rub it? ”

Mama Xu was a little embarrassed, "The previous box of ladies was given to the old slave, and now it is the old slave's daughter who uses it, but I don't feel any discomfort." ”

"Oh, that shouldn't be Rouge's business." Luo Rao continued to search in the house, and suddenly found a small pinch of incense ash at the foot of her mother's bed. She twisted it with her hand, put it close to her nose and smelled it, but there was no smell. She frowned, still sensing that something was wrong.

Mama Xu saw Luo Rao squatting down and twisting the incense ash, and patted her leg, "This little hoof of the bottle is really getting lazier and lazier, why haven't you even cleaned the ground." ”

"This incense ash...... What's going on? ”

Mama Xu hurriedly replied, "This is the incense that Madame has to light every night, which will help Madame sleep peacefully, if you don't light it, you won't be able to sleep." ”

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Luo Rao was a little anxious, and her tone was inevitably a little harsh.

"This ......" Mama Xu was also a little embarrassed, "The old slave thinks this is a good thing, not to mention that this is a gift from the master, there shouldn't be any problems." ”

Her eyes widened when she said that, "Should it be?" ”

Luo Rao shook her head, "I don't know, I'm afraid someone is taking advantage of it." If you come out of this incense again and I'll take a look, it's best for me to take it to the imperial doctor to check, I always feel that this incense doesn't feel quite right. ”

She rubbed the corners of her forehead, took the plate of incense handed over by Mama Xu and smelled it, only smelling the smell of sandalwood. In desperation, I had to ask Mama Xu to wrap a plate and prepare to take it back.

"When did Mother start lighting this incense?"

"Actually, Madame has always been on point."

Hearing this, Luo Rao looked at Mama Xu in surprise, "I didn't know that my mother loved to light incense, and I thought that my mother didn't like fragrance." ”

Mama Xu sighed, "It's understandable that Miss doesn't know, this is a long story." Madame still liked it when she was young, but as she got older, her interest faded slowly. Over time, only light some incense that can calm the mind. ”

"Oh." Luo Rao thought for a moment, "Then I don't smell incense when I come to my mother's place on weekdays." ”

"Miss San, think about it, what time is usually when you come." Mama Xu said with a smile: "When Miss came, we had already cleaned it, and the windows were also opened for ventilation. Originally, the aroma was not strong, but as long as the window was opened, the smell would dissipate. ”

"I see." Luo Rao smiled, "If you have been using it for a long time, there should be no problem." If there is a problem, I am afraid that my mother will be sick a long time ago. ”

"I can't say that." Mama Xu immediately became serious, "The old slave remembered that the new batch of incense was replaced just before Mrs. was sick. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Luo Rao also became cautious, "Who brought the incense at that time?" ”

"Because this incense is rare, the production is relatively fine, in the past, the little maid around the master was always used to hand it over to the old slave in person. This time it was not, the old slave remembered clearly, this incense was brought from a bottle. ”

Mama Xu walked to the door, "Cuihuan, go and call the bottle." ”

Bottle walked in with some cringe, she didn't know what she was calling her to do when Miss and Grandma were there.

"Don't be afraid." Luo Rao comforted her, "I just want to ask you, do you remember who gave you this incense?" ”

"Slave maid...... Slaves...... I took the incense once, and it was given to the slave maid by the sister of the first tattoo. After speaking, she looked at Luo Rao, and then quickly lowered her head, putting her hands at her side and pinching the corners of her clothes.

"Who's Hatsumo?" Luo Rao saw that the head of this bottle was lowered again, so she looked at Mama Xu.

"It's the third-class maid who lives far away in the town over there."

Luo Rao thought that if the incense was important, she wouldn't let a third-class maid send it, but if it wasn't important, she wouldn't let the resident bring it every time.

"The rest is bothering Mama Xu, I'll check if there is anything wrong with these incense." Luo Rao walked out as she spoke, and glanced at Mama Xu and Bottler warningly by the way. At this time, the bottle happened to look up and look at Miss Luo San, and she couldn't help but be frightened.

"Okay." Mama Xu sighed secretly, the third lady has returned from Wuliang Mountain, which is really different.
