Chapter 316: Secretly suspicious

When Chen San came over, it was already past noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Chenjing hugged Brother Tan and slept with Zhengxiang.

He saw Lao Wang and Hu Da in the morning, and after telling him what should be ordered, he couldn't support it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.

Kang Yan felt sorry for him, and she didn't let people call him, so she only paid attention to the movements outside.

Fortunately, when it was time for lunch, it was still calm outside, and there was no movement.

After lunch, Brother Tan fell asleep again in a daze, Kang Yan simply put him next to Qi Chenjing, she simply guarded the father and son, and absentmindedly looked at the nutrient solution strategy that the eldest princess Fuyun had given her before.

Counting the time, after noon, I'm afraid that there will be news from the imperial tomb, right?

Qi Chenjing probably told her about the arrangements for the imperial tomb before, I don't know if the arrangements on Lao Jiang's side went smoothly?

When he was in a state of flux, he heard Yao Huang say outside that Chen San was back.

Kang Yan's eyes lit up, and she got up and went outside.

Seeing her, Chen San hurriedly handed over a few pieces of paper and said: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, this is the list of poisoned ministers, and there are two cases of the imperial doctor's pulse, please take a look at the princess." ”

The list of poisoned ministers is not easy to get, as long as you have the heart to go to the mansion of the adults to inquire, you can always inquire, but the pulse case of the imperial doctor is not very easy to take, and it takes a lot of effort.

Kang Yan put the list aside first, and she could work with Qi Chenjing later, after all, Qi Chenjing was much more familiar with the personnel relationship between the DPRK and China than herself.

She took a closer look at the imperial doctor's pulse case, and the content of the two pulse records was basically the same, the symptoms of the poisoned person were headache, dizziness, tight lips, numb tongue, and some people had vomiting and slight convulsions, which should be slightly more serious poisoning.

Kang Yan doesn't know about poison, and she doesn't know much about herbal medicine, so she doesn't know that those drugs can make people have such symptoms.

"My subordinates managed to get two pots of Hewanglan placed in the Queen's Palace, as well as two pots and a pin, which are now placed in the courtyard." Chen San pointed in the direction of the courtyard and said.

Now it is said that such flowers are poisonous, so he didn't dare to take them casually into the house, so he put them in the yard first.

"Take me to see it." Kang Yan said with some eagerness.

Four pots of flowers were placed in the corner of the courtyard, swaying weakly in the cold wind, as if trying their best to fight the bitter cold winter day.

Kang Yan's eyes fell on the two pots of crane orchids.

Although it is a cold winter, the crane orchid blooms very well, the leaves are fat and beautiful, the color is bright, the petals of the peculiar flower shape stretch outward, the outer petals are orange, the inner petals are bright blue, the stigma is pure white, and the whole flower shape is like the crane that has been looking up.

Looking at the first pint crown next to it, the finely serrated flower leaves, reddish-brown flower stalks, and the large purple petals are slim and surrounded by compact leaves, delicate and dazzling, and you can smell a rich fragrance before you get close.

Kang Yan frowned, she couldn't see anything for a while, she needed to check it carefully.

"You find a vacant room for these pots of flowers and put them away, find someone to guard outside, and I'll go over in a moment." Kang Yan told Chen San that her yard was still crowded, and Qi Chenjing and Brother Tan were there, and she didn't want them to be in danger.

Chen San should turn around and order someone to do it.

Kang Yan went back to the house, glanced at the father and son who were still sleeping, and told Yao Huang to guard, while she took the lotus leaf to the place where the "poisonous flower" was placed.

During the safety period, Kang Yeon put on a veil and gloves and carefully studied a few pots of flowers.

She first carefully studied the flowers of Hewanglan and Yipinguan, and was even more sure in her heart that this was not the flower planted by their Kang family.

The flowers of the crane orchid look similar to the flowers raised by the Kang family, but if you look closely, the color of the petals is still different.

And Yipinguan is more obvious, although Kang Yan later reduced her business with the Kang family, but some major things, Li Da Shopkeeper and Kang Shaofan will still tell her.

Yipinguan is a year ago in the Douhua Fair to achieve the ranking of Huazun, as early as half a year before the Douhua Meeting, the Kang family cultivated a pinnabe to participate in the Douhua Meeting, and also gave it to her.

“……… Let the county lord give the palm of the hand. She remembered that the shopkeeper Li said this at that time, and there was an unconcealed expectation in his words.

This is after the county lord left Macheng Mansion, he took the Kang family's flower grower alone and cultivated it after repeated experiments.

It's all on their own.

Kang Yan saw the pot of Yipinguan at that time, and her eyes lit up.

Nothing else is unusual, what is strange is the flowers of a crown, all clustered together, but each flower is slightly curled inward, one by one is like the head of a rabbit, which makes people feel cute and pleasing to the eye.

"It's wonderful! Wonderful," Kang Yan smiled at the time and praised the shopkeeper Li, "......... It's in line with the legend of a pin. ”

The legend of a crown is that the jade rabbit went down to earth to be taken care of by an old flower farmer, when he left, he was grateful to the old flower farmer, so he gave a seed hidden in his ear to the old flower farmer, and the old flower farmer planted the seed, and it actually bloomed beautiful flowers, one by one like a rabbit head, so a product crown is also called a rabbit flower.

Yipinguan was able to win the title of "Flower Honor" in one fell swoop at the Flower Fighting Meeting, also because of the delicate shape of its petals.

And the Yipinguan in front of him, although the flowers also look like a little rabbit head, but if you look at it carefully, you will find that its petals have traces of artificial pruning, unlike the petals of their Kang family, which are naturally formed.

I broke the petals with my hands, and sure enough, the shape changed.

Kang Yan cut off the flowers of the Crane Wanglan and Yipinguan respectively, put them on the tip of her nose and sniffed them gently.

A rich floral fragrance rushes straight to the heart and lungs.

This floral scent? Kang Yeon frowned, as if something was wrong.

Something was wrong, she couldn't tell.

It seemed to be too strong, and there seemed to be some other fragrance, Kang Yan frowned unconsciously.

What is it exactly? She didn't have a clue for a while.

Putting the flowers down, she went back to look at the soil in the pot.

It should be that after the queen was buried, these flowers were disposed of because they were declared poisonous, and no one took care of them anymore, watered them, and the soil in the pots was slightly dry.

Peel off the slightly dry soil on the surface, but the bottom is still wet.

Kang Yan picked up a pinch of dirt and sniffed it again, as if she had smelled a faint fishy smell, mixed with a floral fragrance

Qi Chenjing woke up, and only felt the taste in his heart!

Fishy smell, floral scent?

Kang Yan was a little unsure, and was about to take a closer look, but a big hand suddenly reached over and suddenly knocked the dirt in her hand to the ground, "Yan'er, what are you doing?" ”

Qi Chenjing glared at Kang Yan with a somewhat ugly face.

When he woke up, he felt that the fatigue of traveling overnight had disappeared, and Brother Tan'er's small body was nestled against him and slept with him.

Kang Yan was not there, and after asking Yao Huang, she found out that Kang Yan was studying the flowers that Chen San had found.

Qi Chenjing came over, but who knew that he saw Kang Yan sniffing the dirt lightly.

"Didn't you say it's poisonous? How can you be a little careless? Qi Chenjing glared at Kang Yan.

"Are you awake?" Kang Yeon shook the gloves on her hands at him, signaling that she was okay.

Qi Chenjing's face softened, "It's better to be careful." ”

"Isn't this all right," Kang Yeon pointed to the flowers on the ground, "This is not a flower raised by the Kang family." ”

Qi Chenjing was not surprised.

He didn't believe that it was a flower raised by the Kang family.

Kang Yeon picked up a crown from the ground, "Look at the shape of this petal, this is artificially trimmed, it is unnatural........."

Qi Chenjing's attention was not on the flowers, "Throw the flowers away, don't hold them in your hands." ”

Kang Yan laughed at him, "You are too careful, I have been here for so long, don't you ........."

At this point, Kang Yeon's words came to an abrupt end.

Her expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? Qi Chenjing saw that she stopped suddenly, thinking that she felt something uncomfortable, and suddenly felt a little anxious.

Kang Yan shook her head, but shouted out to the lotus leaf standing under the porch and asked her, "How long have I been here?" ”

Lotus Ye looked at the sky and counted the hours in her heart, "The princess has been here for an hour!" ”

For an hour, Kang Yan's eyes lit up a little, and she looked at Qi Chenjing, "Ah Jing, I've been looking at these pots of flowers here for an hour, and I'm still looking at them up close, but I don't have any symptoms of discomfort at all." ”

Qi Chenjing was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Kang Yan's words, "You mean that these pots of flowers are not poisonous?" ”

His gaze also fell on Crane Wanglan and Yipinguan.

Could it be that there is another way to poison it, "It's not right, didn't it mean that all the doctors in the Tai Hospital said that the fragrance of flowers was poisonous?" ”

Qi Chenjing immediately denied his speculation.

Kang Yan thought for a moment before saying: "Whether the flower fragrance is poisonous, or what kind of poison it is, I can't say now, but, you see, I have been here for more than an hour without any physical discomfort, which means that even if this flower fragrance is poisonous, it is not something that can make people fall down in a short period of time." ”

Qi Chenjing immediately understood the problem.

"The women inside and outside the palace go into the inner palace to cry for an hour every day, and the ministers kneel outside the hall for an hour, and most of these flowers are placed around the mourning hall or in the hall, or in the courtyard, and they will definitely not be too close to them, even if the flowers are poisonous, they will not cause such a big reaction."

Qi Chenjing pondered and proposed another possibility, "Is it possible that a few days have passed, and the fragrance of the flowers has faded, and the toxicity has weakened?" ”

"Impossible," Kang Yan shook her head, "All the tribute flowers are carefully cared for and painstakingly served, the purpose is to keep the flowering period at least twenty days to a month, and when the flowers are about to wither, the fragrance will slowly dissipate, and it will not be during the flowering period." ”

She pointed to the two flowers she had broken off just now, "I smelled it just now, and the fragrance is still strong." ”

"Or do they kneel down and cry every day, accumulate every day, and only have a seizure on the day of the queen's funeral?"

This speculation was also denied by Kang Yeon, "If the fragrance of the flower is poisonous, it is generally inhaled too much at that time, or it is too long, and once you stay away from that kind of flower, you will slowly adjust yourself." ”

That is to say, after the ministers ordered the wives to go home, there would be no problems, and they would not accumulate.

Both fell silent.

Speaking of which, it is only certain that the cause of the poisoning is not just on the flowers, there must be other reasons.

But what exactly it is, it cannot be inferred.

It must be that she missed something, Kang Yan said to herself, "Generally speaking, some flowers are indeed poisonous, and some even the whole plant is poisonous, but that is only after accidentally eating it will have such a big reaction, how can it cause such a big reaction just by fragrance?" ”

There must be another introduction, yes, Kang Yeon said with certainty, "There must be another introduction!" ”

Kang Yan's words reminded Qi Chenjing of a past incident.

"Do you remember the incident between the cow flower and the overlord flower when the flower was fighting four years ago?"

Four years ago, Kang Yan blinked and remembered.

Four years ago, she snatched the right to host the Douhua Club from the Du family, but on the day of the Douhua Meeting, she found that the Du family bought off the Dong family and replaced the lotus leaf roses that were supposed to be placed at the scene of the Douhua Party with cow dung flowers.

"Do you mean that there are other flowers and cranes at the queen's funeral, or a crown of flowers?" Kang Yan's eyes lit up, it's not impossible to have this possibility.

"None of us were there, and we don't know what flowers were placed at the Queen's funeral?" Kang Yan deduced from this line of thought, "But the royal flower keeper in the palace is also very clever, he won't understand this kind of restraint, since the people behind the scenes want to frame us, they must do a full set of plays, and they will not leave such an obvious handle." ”

This is indeed reasonable, the royal flower keeper in the palace is a master of raising flowers selected from the people, and the habits of various flowers and the truth of opposing each other will not be understood, and they will not be able to do such a situation to frame them, and naturally they will not leave an obvious handle.

Otherwise, if someone finds out about this and reveals a little rumor, it is estimated that it will cause countless speculations.

"Or," Kang Yan looked at Qi Chenjing, only to find that he was also looking at herself.

"Isn't the thing a flower?" The two of them said in unison.

"You think so, too?" Kang Yan was excited, and grabbed Qi Chenjing, but forgot that he had gloves on his hands, and he had also grabbed the dirt before, and Qi Chenjing's white clothes suddenly left two mud handprints.

"Hehe, I forgot......" Kang Yeon stuck out her tongue and let go of her hand.

Qi Chenjing shook his head funny, he didn't care, remembering what he said just now, "It seems that you have to find someone in the palace to take care of the items in the palace that day, flowers, imported tea, food, burning incense, etc." ”

"Focus on things that have a taste, including the hairpin flowers on the heads of the funeral people on the same day." Kang Yeon added.

If you decide, you will do it, it has always been Qi Chenjing's style, and he is ready to go out to find Ren Shinian.

Walking to the door, his eyes touched the dirt on his sleeve, and he turned around and asked, "I saw you staring at the dirt when I came here just now, could it be that there are other things in the dirt?" ”

Earth? Kang Yan's eyes fell on the dirt that had been knocked to the ground by Qi Chenjing just now.

Something else?

Kang Yeon's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and she felt as if she knew what she had just overlooked. (To be continued.) )
