112 The heart is turned back
Jun Qinglan pulled out the flat silver hairpin on her head, took the hairpin tail and picked out some vermilion lipstick cream, and then put the lipstick on the hairpin tail into the porcelain basin, rinsed it with water and quietly retreated aside.
The small fish in the porcelain basin is swimming with a gauzy-like tail, constantly chasing and devouring the lipstick floating on the water. But in the blink of an eye, the speed of the small fish slowed down. After less than half a cup of tea, the two small fish turned their bellies.
"The prince should not suspect that I poisoned the porcelain basin in advance."
Jun Qinglan smiled and looked at Li Congyao, and at the same time handed him the silver hairpin that had just picked up the grease paste: "Look, the hairpin is not blackened. ”
Li Congyao's gaze slowly moved from the bright hairpin to Jun Qinglan. The hairpin that tied the woman's hair was held in her hand, and at this moment, the waist-length black hair was all scattered, sliding over the honey-colored and moist skin, which made the person's tenacious gaze in the past look at it with a few different kinds of softness, and the heart of the person who looked at it fluttered.
Li Congyao immediately opened his eyes: "Pull your hair up." Don't just distribute it in front of people in the future. ”
"Oh." Jun Qinglan didn't notice the abnormality in his eyes, and pulled his hair in a bun three or two, but his eyes looked at the fish in the porcelain basin on the table.
"The prince has already seen with his own eyes that the small fish in the porcelain basin died because of swallowing the lipstick in the water. This move has been able to prove that the lipstick is toxic. And the lowly silver hairpin was contaminated with poisonous lip grease, which should have turned black and black, but this was not the case. ”
Jun Qinglan said slowly: "That's because the cinnabar added to the lipstick was originally non-poisonous. It can even calm and calm the nerves, which is most suitable for restless sleep and restlessness caused by excessive heart, but it is absolutely not permanent. Once used excessively, after years of sedimentation in the body, it will make people think sluggishly, memory deteriorates severely, insomnia and dreams, and loss of appetite. It can even cause damage to human organs and blood in the stool. ”
Jun Qinglan flicked his fingers on the porcelain basin, and the crisp sound shook the surface of the water with shallow ripples. However, the two small fish floated on the surface of the water and did not move.
"The belly of a fish is much smaller than that of a human, and if you swallow such a large piece of cinnabar lipstick, you will naturally die of intestinal rottenness." Jun Qinglan raised her head, her eyes burned, and she stared at Li Congyao for a moment: "This is the reason why the county lord's mind is gradually lost when he is discovered by his humble position." ”
Li Congyao pursed his lips shallowly, and his long fingers gradually clenched tightly, and he slammed his fist on the bookcase. Lihuamu's bookcase clicked, and he cut off a piece. Rong Xi lowered his head and didn't move, but he leaned his body closer and closer to the wall, and he couldn't wait to squeeze directly into the crack in the wall. Don't see me!
Jun Qinglan opened her eyes, she knew that Li Congyao must be in a bad mood at the moment. So, she didn't speak again. What he needs at this time is time and quiet.
Li Xueyi was originally a normal person! Even after experiencing the unbearable past in the palace, she is still the beautiful and happy county lord in everyone's eyes in the Duanwang Mansion. However, little by little, those rare poisons eat away at the happiness she should have.
And......
Cinnabar, raw rhino. No matter which one it is, it is something that Li Congyao is extremely familiar with. Even, without his instructions, these two things would not have entered Begonia Garden at all.
Of course, his original intention was not to make Li Xueyi's intelligence degenerate and become stupid, but he inadvertently became an accomplice. After checking and checking, it turned out that he was the real murderer of his sister who was like a child, which made him embarrassed.
"There are not many people who are capable of accomplishing these things." The oppressive atmosphere in Lanyun Pavilion made Jun Qinglan very uncomfortable, and she needed to get out of it as soon as possible: "Does the prince have a rule in his heart?" ”
The enemy hiding in the shadows is really powerful. Not only is he extremely familiar with Li Congyao, but he also has direct contact with Li Xueyi's daily life. This person must be a person inside the Duanwang Mansion, and outsiders do not have this opportunity.
"Xue Yi......" Li Congyao's voice paused slightly: "What is the chance that it will return to normal?" ”
"This prince should discuss with Uncle Liu, shouldn't he?" She's just a pretend, it's not her to treat diseases, save people and detoxify, it's not up to her.
"In the entire Duanwang Mansion, those who can access Xue Yi have basically been cleaned up." Li Congyao's eyes were slightly dark, and there was a bit of indescribable obscurity in his voice: "There are not many people left, and they are ......"
And they can all be trusted. At least Li Congyao was not willing to doubt them.
"The prince once mentioned to the humble position, after the county lord returned to the mansion, there are only two people left who have survived to this day." Jun Qinglan's voice paused, and she could feel Li Congyao's resistance to this topic. Until now, she has discovered that the iceberg-like kaolin flower on the surface is actually a person who values love and righteousness. It turned out that the blood he had honed in his early years on the battlefield at the border has never been extinguished. is cold, just a layer of camouflage wrapped around him to protect the weak body of Duan Wangfu.
"Which one does the prince think it is?" Jun Qinglan closed her eyes, it was painful to tear through the disguise. Since Li Congyao is hesitating, then it is up to her to make the decision for him.
"Rong Han ......" Li Congyao pursed his lips, and Rong Xi, who was pretending to be dead in the corner, suddenly straightened his body. Jun Qinglan saw that his hand holding the dust was held tighter, and his bones were all blue and white. Although he looked as tall as before, and his eyes had never looked at this place, Jun Qinglan knew that he was nervous. I was so nervous that I had forgotten the ever-present smile mask on my face, and a pair of eyes stared at Li Congyao for a moment.
Li Congyao pondered for a moment before continuing: "There is no problem. ”
His tone was categorical, without half a minute of hesitation, which showed his trust in Rong Han. Rong Xi's eyes moved, and he suddenly knelt down with a pop: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
Rong Xi's voice trembled, and even the muscles at the corners of his lips twitched. The dust in his hand had been thrown on the ground, and the light thing was almost too heavy for him to bear at the moment.
Li Congyao waved his hand at him: "You go out first." ”
"Yes." Rong Xi walked very calmly, without any nostalgia and reluctance. He no longer worries about Rong Han, just because he has enough trust in Li Congyao. It's like Li Congyao's trust in their brother.
Jun Qinglan looked at Rong Xi's back and suddenly felt envious. Envy the strong affection between their brothers, if it is...... My brother is still alive, and he will maintain her like Rong Xi.
"I don't want to question the prince's thoughts, but anything needs to be well-founded. You should not be emotional anytime or anywhere. Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao and said slowly.
A human favor is a human favor, and a case is a case. No amount of emotion can be an obstacle to covering up the truth.
"You don't have to doubt Rong Han, this king naturally has enough reason to believe that he will not be unfavorable to Xue Yi."
"Then there's only one possibility." Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao: "What does the prince think?" ”
After Li Xueyi left the palace, the only people who followed her were her nurse Mama Zhang and Rong Han, who had been punished by the palace. If Rong Han is excluded, it is Mama Zhang. Li Congyao pursed his lips and was silent, and there was an indescribable heaviness in his eyes.
"I think that Mama Zhang is more suspicious than Rong Han." Jun Qinglan said; "Since entering the Duanwang Mansion with a lowly position, Rong Han has been going in and out with the lowly position every day. In the past, he didn't pay much attention to Begonia Garden, and he couldn't get in touch with the daily life of the county lord at all. But Mama Zhang is different, she is the nurse of the county lord and has enough trust from the county lord. Moreover, she eats and sleeps with the county lord every day, and the soothing incense and the county lord's rouge gouache are kept by her hands. If there is really someone around the county lord who has a problem, he thinks it is her. ”
"And yet ......." Li Congyao said in a deep voice: "Things that are too reasonable often have problems. ”
"You're right." Jun Qinglan said: "However, after many impossibilities that exist in a case have been ruled out. The one thing that remains, no matter how perverse, can only be the only truth. ”
Li Congyao frowned: "This king doesn't understand why she did this. ”
Mama Zhang's status in Duanwang's Mansion is different, neither Li Congyao nor Li Xueyi treated her as a subordinate, but as an old man or elder in the mansion, giving her enough respect and status. Especially Li Xueyi, after the loss of the memory of her relatives step by step, she has an inseparable dependence and emotion on Mama Zhang. I'm afraid that in her heart, she has already regarded Mama Zhang as her mother.
In this situation, no one will understand why Mama Zhang did this. She seemed to have no reason to do so.
"Where in this world is there any absolute loyalty? Anyone has a price tag and something she thinks is more worth doing. ”
"Actually, there are many things that the prince doesn't know, but he just doesn't want to think about it." Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao and said, "Rhino horn is a rare thing, and ordinary people have never even seen it. He was very curious about the origin of rhino horn, so he asked Jiang Xiaoye about the inventory of rhino horn in Yanjing City. ”
He told the humble officials that in Yanjing City today, only a small amount of rhino horn is found in the imperial pharmacy of the imperial palace. There is no trace of it anywhere else. So, where did Mama Zhang get the raw rhino to replace the cooked rhino used by the prince? ”
Li Congyao's eyebrows tightened a little tighter.
"Cinnabar is not as scarce as rhino horn, but it is not easy to obtain. In addition to the Imperial Palace and Puning Temple in Yanjing, there are only a small number of pharmacies for sale, and the prices are expensive. With Mama Zhang's monthly routine and the reward of the New Year's Festival, it is simply not enough to pay for such a huge expense. ”
Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao, and her face gradually became solemn: "The prince may be sure, why did Mama Zhang act like this?" ”
