Chapter 41: Wangshu Night Banquet (5)
Looking at the single clothes that were pulled out of his arms and embroidered with the exclusive pattern of the Warm Jade Pavilion. Mengxian's face, which had always been calm, finally cracked—disgust, entanglement, and disgust, and a complex expression quickly manifested on her face like turning a book.
No doubt that the moment she took it out, she confirmed that it was indeed her dress—and that it was the one she had just changed into and had casually left in the outer room, and the scent that belonged to her had not yet dissipated.
Chu Xingnan's heart was also cold, this person was simply innocent! Under his nose, the clothes of the person who stole him were still in the room to change clothes...... I can't imagine what would have happened! If, if she had been quick at the time, she had really drunk that pot of wine...... When the time comes, won't it be the one who falls on the stage......
Everyone fell silent, and it was obvious what was going on at this point - the man intended to sneak into the background, and when he saw that no one was there, he took away the clothes that Mengxian had changed and the wine on the table. As a result, he couldn't wait to drink the pot of wine during the banquet, so he quickly poisoned himself and died. It's just that...... How did this wine get into the room?
Mengxian picked up the wine jug, sniffed it gently, sniffed and sniffed beside Shao Siyan, and sighed softly.
"Sister Muqing, what's wrong?" Shao Siyan looked at her blankly.
"Sister Siyan, this wine jug has the same fragrance as you. Mengxian looked at her cautiously before speaking.
"How is it possible!" Shao Siyan's eyes widened, a little flustered. "I've never seen this pot of wine! Didn't the people of Childe just say that this wine is not the wine we use uniformly, where can I get other wines?" ”
Shen You touched his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the wine sold by the time-honored store in Shifang City—intoxicating." Although the smell of the drug is mixed with the smell of alcohol, it is still easy to identify. ”
"Come on, go to the winery in the city and check who the guests are who have bought wine recently. Chu Xingnan's face was gloomy, and he spoke slowly.
"But the residual smell on this wine jug is indeed exactly the same as that of Sister Siyan. Well, and the smell is still very strong, so it must have been left by the sweat of the person holding the flask. Mengxian analyzed carefully. "Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?"
After a short period of panic, Shao Siyan, who had experienced good training, had calmed down: "Miss Muqing, you just said that it is the same as the fragrance on my body, just the fragrance, right?"
"Yes, although my senses are more sensitive than normal, they are also relatively limited, and there is indeed an easily discernible aroma left on this flask. ”
"Errong, come here. Shao Siyan pulled Shui Errong, who was standing behind, and pushed her to Mengxian. "Why don't you try again?"
Mengxian grabbed Shui Errong's hand and smelled it, and the breath sprayed on the little girl's hand, itching so much that she couldn't help but giggle, and she didn't dare to withdraw her hand, so she had to smile and let Mengxian do it.
"Huh, strange?" Mengxian touched her nose suspiciously, walked over and sniffed Shen You, and then came back and sniffed the other girls from the Warm Jade Pavilion, "Why are the girls all the same fragrance?"
"That's right," Shao Siyan showed a hint of a smile, "The girls in the Nuan Yu Pavilion have all taken incense pills for a long time, this kind of incense pills can make people smell all over their bodies, and it is normal for them to leave a lingering fragrance when they touch something." And, after all, everything taken is the same, and naturally it all emits the same aroma. ”
"But I don't feel such a fragrance on weekdays...... It's obviously all the taste of rouge gouache...... "Mengxian seriously suspected that there was something wrong with his sense of smell.
"Is this...... On weekdays, the girls are dressed in rouge gouache, and their bodies do not sweat. It's actually a drug that adds to boudoir fun...... There are a lot of guests today, and the girls are busy, and the smell of sweating will be obvious. Shen Youyu interjected hesitantly.
"Boudoir fun......" Mengxian still looked ignorant, opened her mouth to ask something, raised her eyes and saw Chu Xingnan staring at Shen You with a gloomy expression, inexplicably feeling a little scary, shrunk her neck, and stopped asking.
"Oh-I see! No wonder every time I go to the Nuan Yu Pavilion, I will be discovered by my wife at home!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd suddenly realized.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"However, since this matter has been explained, it can only be said that it was the girl from the Nuan Yu Pavilion who brought the wine. I'm not sure who it is. Shao Siyan frowned, and everyone was thinking about it.
"Bang-"
Suddenly, there was the sound of something being smashed to the ground during the banquet, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to it. A delicate girl was picking up something on the ground with her head down.
"Xia Huai?" Mo Lansi said loudly.
Hearing someone call her, the woman who lowered her head to clean up trembled, raised her head and muttered and agreed: "I just accidentally knocked over something on the table, disturbing everyone's thinking, I'm really sorry......"
"What's wrong with you, why do you have such a bad complexion?" Mo Lansi has always been straightforward and asked directly.
As soon as it was pointed out, Xia Huai's face became even worse, "Ah, I'm a little tired......"
"Sister Xia Huai has been serving the guests today, busy and busy, she was at the next table when she died just now!"
"I must have been scared!" said a few of Xia Huai's little followers next to him.
"In that case, just leave it alone, you go back to rest first, and let the others clean up. Shen You waved her hand and motioned for the others to take over her work.
"Yes......" Xia Huai bowed her head and bowed, then turned her head to leave, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.
Mengxian and Shao Siyan glanced at each other, and a conjecture came out of their hearts.
"I can't find ......out who it is for a while," Shen You scratched his hair and barely held up a smile, "Everyone, I'm very sorry that something like this happened today." Today's guests will enjoy discounts for consumption at Nuan Yuge from tomorrow. We will find out the reason as soon as possible and give you an explanation. ”
"This ......" Everyone looked at each other, and someone weakly spoke: "It's not that we don't want to come, it's that we really don't dare to come." This time he died a person from a small sect, and it was just a matter of saying that he did a lot of evil on weekdays, who knows if it will be our ...... next time"
"My lord, we will check the meals and drinks served more strictly, and there will never be a next time for such a thing. I hope you can believe in our Warm Jade Pavilion, okay?" Shao Siyan spoke softly, his tone full of firmness.
Seeing that everyone still looked disbelieving, Mengxian shook his head helplessly, sure enough, no matter where he was, once there was a safety problem, it would be difficult to win back the hearts of the guests.
"Do you remember that the little girl said that the method of selecting guests will be announced tomorrow?" Mengxian stood up with a smile, "Since such a thing has happened, I will announce it in advance today." My topic is actually very simple, every day I dance in the front hall of the Nuan Yu Pavilion, as long as I make a piece of music that can match it, I can eat flower wine in my room. ”
Shen You's eyes widened in disbelief, what they had said before was just a tea set. After all, she is not a person from the Warm Jade Pavilion, if she lets a strange man into the boudoir......
"Well, this king will come. Seeing that the people around him were still hesitating, Chu Xingnan opened his mouth and said.
