Chapter Four: Liuzhou Suspicions (2)

Liu Jingyi sniffed the sachet repeatedly, and she was sure that the fragrance in the sachet was the same as the one in Jing Ziyan's room. "It's Mrs. Chai Ruoxue's thing." Liu Jingyi said in her heart.

There was no interest in eating for a while, so Liu Jingyi hurriedly took the sachet to the side of the bookcase, opened the sachet with scissors, and poured out the spices. She carefully inspected the sachet, which contained Angelica Angelica, cloves, Atractylodes, Peilan, mugwort leaves, borneol, Huoxiang, mint, and other medicinal materials, all of which were commonly used to dispel wind and cold, but there was also a mandala in it. Mandala is highly poisonous, so doctors have always used it with caution. Mandala has the effect of relieving cough and analgesia, and Jing Ziyan has always had symptoms of cough and asthma, and this medicine is just the right medicine.

Liu Jingyi looked at the spices on the table, a little suspicious. Mrs. Chai Ruoxue likes to use incense, Jing Ziyan is cautious, but whenever Chai Ruoxue buys a new sachet, she will let Liu Jingyi take a look at it a priori and make sure that there is no problem, so she will use it with confidence.

But this time, Liu Jingyi felt that something was wrong, what was the place?

Liu Jingyi looked at the spread spices on the table again and shook her head gently. Walked around the room again, and the vague aroma in the room kept Liu Jingyi at ease.

Suddenly, Liu Jingyi saw another sachet in Shiso's sewing kit, she walked over quickly, picked up the sachet, and examined it carefully. Seeing this, Shisu said, "Girl, I made this sachet myself, and it uses the spices in the sachet that Madame gave her before. I took out the original sachet and used it as a purse. When Zi Su said this, he was a little shy, but Liu Jingyi was all about finding out the source of the poison at this time, and he didn't think about Zi Su's abnormality.

Hearing this, Liu Jingyi hurriedly took out the spices in this sachet and carefully examined it, this is an ordinary sachet that repells mosquitoes and insects, and there is nothing abnormal. But one of the medicines caught Liu Jingyi's attention, and it was a taste of ice grass. It is produced in the Western Regions and is expensive. Ordinary mosquito repellent and insect repellent sachets are generally equipped with borneol, but this sachet is made of ice grass.

Although ice grass also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects, it is expensive and generally cannot be used by idle people. Moreover, there are many drugs that are compatible with it, and if it is not used properly, good medicine will also become poison. In particular, it is also prone to induce toxicity from other drugs. For example, the highly poisonous mandala, the ice grass will induce its toxicity, making the medicinal properties of the mandala toxic.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingyi roughly understood why the poison in Jing Ziyan's body was not serious. Chai Ruoxue's two sachets are no problem when used alone, but if they are put together for a long time, there will definitely be problems. But she wasn't sure.

She hurriedly ran to see Jing Ziyan. Due to poisoning and weakness, Jing Ziyan did not get up as early as before.

"Childe, Childe." Hearing Liu Jingyi's voice, Jing Ziyan slowly opened his eyes and asked unhurriedly, "What time is it?" ”

You Xi responded outside the door, "It's already time"

When Jing Ziyan heard this, he hurriedly sat up from the bed, looked at Chai Ruoxue, who was still sleeping sweetly beside him, and shook his head with a smile.

Cloaked and walked outside, let the young cherish come in and serve him to change clothes.

Seeing Liu Jingyi running in in a hurry and saluting her in a hurry, Jing Ziyan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said gently, "Yi'er, you are such a big person, why are you still so flustered, what happened?"

"Hui Gongzi, I want to check all the sachets of Madame." Liu Jingyi said breathlessly.

"Oh?" Jing Ziyan said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, Yi'er, you come to change my clothes." ”

"Yes" Liu Jingyi took Jing Ziyan's coat in Youxi's hand, served him to put on his clothes and tie his belt. After finishing the tidying, Jing Ziyan slowly walked to the side of the low table and sat down, slowly picked up the tea cup that Youxi had already prepared, and took a sip. "Yi'er, the breath is smooth at this time, come, don't worry, you speak slowly."

Liu Jingyi handed the two sachets to Jing Ziyan, showed him the spices in the sachets, explained in detail the effects of ice grass and mandala, and continued, "Childe, mandala not only has a hallucinogenic effect, but after smelling it for a long time, it is very easy to get excited, Childe and Madame. Well... Well... Liu Jingyi looked up at Jing Ziyan, then at Youxi, and stopped talking.

Jing Ziyan has always been self-controlled, looking at Liu Jingyi's spitting appearance, Jing Ziyan has probably guessed what she is going to say.

"Say it."

"This..." Liu Jingyi looked up at Jing Ziyan again, quickly lowered her head, and said very quickly, "Mandala is very easy to excite, when men and women are happy, once excited, it is not easy to control, when men and women are happy, the blood accelerates, and the breath expands, which will accelerate the absorption of toxins, and over time, people will be poisoned unconsciously, and the inducing effect of ice grass on mandala will accelerate people's poisoning." ”

After speaking, Liu Jingyi secretly glanced at Jing Ziyan, and found that his face did not change, and he was still sitting on the low table as steady as Mount Tai.

Knowing that the sachet Chai Ruoxue gave to Shiso, Jing Ziyan couldn't help frowning. Jing Ziyan remembered that Chai Ruoxue had been using this kind of sachet for a long time.

At this time, Chai Ruoxue had already woken up, lazily deepened her waist, and walked out of the room. Liu Jingyi and Youxi saluted her one after another.

"Ruoxue, you're awake. Come, I just have something to ask you. ”

Jing Ziyan helped Chai Ruoxue to sit on the side of the low table and asked her about the sachet. "Ruoxue, you bring all the sachets over and give them to Jingyi to check."

Chai Ruoxue hurriedly went to the inner room and took out the few sachets that she had been using.

"Madam, have you been using these sachets?" Liu Jingyi asked anxiously.

"Yes," Chai Ruoxue said, pointing to a sachet that repells mosquitoes and insects, "I hang it on my body during the day, and I take it off at night and put it next to the bed." ”

"The lady has other sachets hanging by the bedside."

"Yes, Ziyan's health is not good, I also bought him a sachet to dispel the wind and cold, and hung it on the side of the bed all the time." Chai Ruoxue said.

Liu Jingyi was secretly worried, she was afraid that her worries would become reality. hurriedly checked the several sachets that Chai Ruoxue said, and sure enough, the sachets she often used to repel mosquitoes and insects contained ice grass. The sachet given to Jing Ziyan to dispel wind and cold contains mandala.

After the inspection, Liu Jingyi nodded to Jing Ziyan and said, "Childe, it's exactly the same as I thought, it's this ice grass and mandala that are in trouble." Because the amount of ice grass and mandala in the sachet is very small, the toxicity induced is also very small, and the child does not wear it often, so the poisoning is very light. ”

Jing Ziyan's face turned cold. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if someone did it on purpose. "Is it against him?" Youxi's face also changed greatly.

"Ruoxue, when did you start buying these sachets?" Jing Ziyan asked in a deep voice.

"Well, I remember that after getting married, not long after, I once went into the city, and the spice shop I frequented said that they had a new sachet that could dispel the cold, but you never liked to use incense, so I bought it and hung it on the bed net, because it tasted good, I always carried this mosquito repellent sachet with me."

"Oh, by the way, the owner of that shop said that the spices of this sachet need to be purchased from the Western Regions and are extremely valuable, so they need to be customized." Chai Ruoxue added.

"Customized?" Jing Ziyan and Youxi glanced at each other, as if they were prepared for this outcome.

"Yi'er, check Madame's pulse." Jing Ziyan said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Liu Jingyi stepped forward and respectfully checked Chai Ruoxue's pulse. After taking the pulse, Liu Jingyi nodded to Jing Ziyan, "Childe, Madame is indeed poisoned." It's just that because Madame is in good health, she didn't notice it. ”

"Young pity, go find Hanwen and let Jingyi take the pulse."

While speaking, Liu Jingyi administered needles to Chai Ruoxue, because Chai Ruoxue has always carried a sachet with her, but only at night the two sachets are hung together on the side of the bed, so the depth of poison in Chai Ruoxue is similar to that of Jing Ziyan, because Chai Ruoxue has always been healthy, there are no signs.

According to Jing Ziyan's instructions, Liu Jingyi checked Hanwen's pulse again, and because Hanwen often followed the nurse, Run'er was not poisoned.

After detoxifying Chai Ruoxue, Liu Jingyi came to the main hall and found that Jing Ziyan was calmly instructing Mo Yu to "go and check the store where Madame has been buying sachets." ”

Liu Jingyi looked at the direction of Mo Yu's departure, and a trace of uneasiness rose faintly in her heart.

Mo Yu has always been reliable, but from Xiaotian Village to the city, it takes an hour to go back and forth. So they can only wait anxiously for the news of Mo Yu now.

Liu Jingyi frowned, and looked at Jing Ziyan uneasily, "Childe, if it is really customized, then let's check if there are other people who also customize the sachet in that store, if so, get the sachet customized by other people, and you can know whether the sachet used by Mrs. is really specially prepared." ”

The chill in Liu Jingyi's heart enveloped her body, she tried her best to control her slightly trembling body, she was afraid, if it wasn't for Jing Ziyan's poor health, she could respond in time to any wind and grass, then the consequences would be unimaginable. She can't forget the tragedy of her family many years ago, although she doesn't know who did it, but she was also killed without knowing it.

found that Liu Jingyi was trembling, "Yi'er, you go back to the room first, and when Moyu comes back, I will order someone to call you." Jing Ziyan commanded.

Liu Jingyi was a little afraid, she had long regarded Jing Ziyan as a relative, if she hadn't found it early this time, then she would have watched her relatives die tragically in front of her like 9 years ago.

"What do you think about this?" Jing Ziyan said in a dark and serious tone.

You Xi replied in a low voice, "Do you remember that when we withdrew from Mu Wangfu two years ago, the assassins we met on the way were all people from Xiyue Pavilion hired by Mu Wangfu. But now it seems that there is someone else who is not good for the son. ”

Jing Ziyan said, "Now it seems that this is indeed the case, King Mu does have the intention to give up on me, he wants to kill people with a knife, but such a blatant hiring of killers is not King Mu's style, if I have an accident halfway through the border, even if everyone doesn't know my identity, the suspicion of King Mu is absolutely indispensable." He's not going to get himself in trouble. Jing Ziyan took a sip of tea and continued: "I would rather believe that the wave of people in the border mountains and forests is the handiwork of King Mu who borrowed a knife to kill people. ”

"Then there must be someone else behind the assassination of me." Jing Ziyan said affirmatively. "It's just that the death of King Mu Yizi is already known to everyone, and who is behind me and death." Jing Ziyan cupped his forehead and fell into deep thought.

While pondering, Mo Yu came back from outside, and the wind and dust came towards the main hall.

Youxi hurriedly greeted Mo Yu and handed Mo Yu a cup of tea. Mo Yuniu drank the tea like a drink, and then said, "Qi Yu Gongzi, indeed, as Mrs. said, the spices of these sachets are expensive because they need to be purchased from the Western Regions, and they don't buy them, so there are only four people in the city who customize this kind of sachets, namely the Liu family in the east of the city, the Zuo family in the west of the city, the Yan family in the north of the city, and Mrs. ”

Mo Yu continued, "I want the boss to show me the customized sachets of those companies, but the boss said that the goods customized by others cannot be easily shown to others, otherwise it will lose credibility." ”

"Childe, we don't have an official identity, and the boss is unwilling to cooperate." Mo Yu said.

Jing Zi was silent, picked up the tea, rubbed the patterns on the tea cup, and said lightly, "Go and call Yi'er over." ”

In less than a cup of tea, Liu Jingyi and Zi Su followed Aunt Youxi to the main hall. Just as he was about to salute, Jing Ziyan waved his hand, "Excuse me." "Childe, are you looking for me?" Liu Jingyi asked.

"Yi'er, do you know the origin of the mandala and the ice grass?"

"Mandala is generally used by doctors for anesthesia, because of its toxicity, doctors are cautious when using it, but few people use it to make spices."

"Oh?" Jing Ziyan heard this, groaned slightly, and said, "Doctors know pharmacology, and those who know how to make incense all year round must also know a little pharmacology, and the incense bags in the spice shop also need to be ingredient according to the prescription." The owner of the spice shop either didn't know about it or did it on purpose, but I had never had anything to do with the owner of the spice shop, and he had no reason to harm me. ”

After saying that, Jing Ziyan got up, pacing back and forth, while instructing Han Che, "You go and check if there is anything abnormal in the other homes that have customized this sachet." ”
