Chapter Seventy-Three: Xue Lan
"Isn't there a ready-made one here?" Mu Xiu didn't intend to leave, so he bypassed Mu Yunyi and walked straight to the stove, pointed to the "mess" in the pot and said, "Did you cook it for me?" ”
"It's not, I don't know which one cooked it, the craftsmanship is so bad, it's all paste, just throw it away." Mu Yunyi's mouth stiffened, and he deliberately looked away.
"What to do if you throw it away, I'm already hungry, so I'll eat this porridge."
"Then what's the matter, you go back quickly, it's a big deal that I'll redo it, and you can't eat this stuff that I cooked and mush!" Mu Yunyi was in a hurry and said that she had leaked her mouth.
"I'm very optimistic." Mu Xiu went to get the bowl by himself, but the little porridge left was all pasted in the pot and couldn't be poured out at all, so he simply sat next to the pot and found a wooden spoon to eat directly.
Seeing Mu Xiu putting the mushy thing into his mouth one by one, he really couldn't stand it, and wanted to stop him, but Mu Xiu shrewdly protected the pot and turned his back: "What, are you hungry too?" You want to rob a patient with me! ”
Mu Yunyi was amused by Mu Xiu, and burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, I really can't help you." ”
Suddenly remembering the wound on Mu Xiu's abdomen, Mu Yunyi's expression became serious again: "Mu Xiu, let me ask you, at the beginning, you also went to the Gloomy Continent, didn't you?" ”
After Mu Xiu swallowed a mouthful of "porridge", he said hesitantly, "What are you talking about?" I do not know. ”
"You're not telling the truth, so what's the matter with the wound in your abdomen?"
Mu Xiu was speechless at this time, and the wooden spoon in his hand also stopped.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mu Yunyi was no longer questioning at the moment, but distressed.
"It's good that you're fine, what does it matter if you say it or not."
"It's important, to me, it's very important!" Mu Yunyi blurted out, and only when she saw the surprise in Mu Xiu's eyes did she realize that she seemed to be too excited, so she changed the topic: "Chu Wu's silver needle is quenched with the poison of mulberry rose. ”
"Yes, I also found out a few days ago that she secretly handled Sangluo, and I don't want to use it on me so soon." Mu Xiu touched his wound lightly, "Fengcheng has been a neutral city-state since ancient times, and it has always been a holy place for the currency trade of all forces and merchants from all over the land on land. ”
"Yes, when I found her, she was sneaking out of a teahouse, hiding her face and getting straight into the carriage, there must be something strange."
"Wait and see, it's the fox that always shows its tail."
……
"Tomorrow, my mother invited Chu Wu to come to the house, it is a good time to tempt, tell me, what should I do?" Su Yan came to Rong Yue's residence.
"I've inquired, and the poison in Mu Xiu's place is Sangluo. Mulberry you should have heard, its flowers, leaves, rhizomes are all highly poisonous to varying degrees, eating or touching the wound will cause the whole body to ulcerate, bleeding does not stop, even if the poisoned person does not die violently, at most three days will die, the possibility of cure is very small. ”
"Mulberry...... Growing up in Nancang, many people died in the poison of mulberry in the past, and later the lord of Nancang ordered to prohibit the cultivation of mulberry, and burned all the farms where mulberry was planted, and mulberry has disappeared in recent years. ”
"Yes, but mulberry is not extinct, in fact, people have been secretly cultivating mulberry for many years, reselling it to those who need it at a high price, and making huge profits from it."
"Even so, how can we be sure that it was Chu Wu who used Mulberry?"
"You don't know, but anyone who has been in contact with mulberry, whether it is pollen or flower juice, will seep into the skin and will not subside for months, although as long as you don't touch the wound, it will be fine, but you must not touch the magnolia. Orchids and mulberry are mutually reinforcing, so if people who have touched mulberry flowers or their flower juice touch orchids or even eat them, they will immediately be red and swollen, and the itching pain is unbearable. ”
"I know what to do." Su Yan secretly had a plan.
The next morning, Jiang came to the main hall after breakfast and found that people were placing pots of orchids on the table.
"Where did you get all those orchids?"
Steward Chen stepped forward and said: "Mrs. Hui's words, this is what the young master brought back from the palace, saying that it is the new tribute Xue Lan in the palace, which is very expensive, and he specially asked the prince for some to show you." ”
Jiang Shi watched the pots of snow-white orchids bloom just right, and a trace of light crossed his eyes: "Is it really for me?" I'm afraid it's just for someone who comes to the house today. ”
"This minion doesn't know, the young master only ordered us to get these Xuelan servants right." Steward Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, good, Yan'er, this kid has finally opened his mind." Jiang Shi saw Su Yan like this, only when he finally moved his heart to Chu Yan, he was full of joy.
In the afternoon, Chu Wu came to Su Mansion, Jiang warmly pulled her to sit down, and Su Yan also sat aside.
Deliberately placing the orchids in the hall, Su Yan secretly paid attention to Chu Yan's expression, and the strange thing was that Chu Wu did not deliberately avoid it, and it was no different from usual.
After a while, the people served refreshments.
"Today, these refreshments are specially ordered by Yan'er to be made in the kitchen, you can try them, do you still like them?"
Chu Wu picked up the teacup and put it in front of her nose, and then did not immediately enter it, and asked, "What is this...... Orchid tea? ”
"Yes, what's the matter, the county lord doesn't like orchids?" Su Yan looked at Chu Yu, if she really refused to drink this orchid tea, then as Rong Yue said, she must have touched Sang Luo.
Just when Su Yan had a conclusion in his heart, Chu Yan said: "How come, orchid tea is fragrant and refreshing, I'm just wondering, how does General Su know that I like orchids the most?" After that, she drank the tea, and then picked up the pastry in the jade plate next to her and put it in her mouth, and after tasting it, she said: "This orchid cake is made of this rosin soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, it is really excellent." ”
When Jiang Shi heard this, his smile deepened: "I thought that Yan'er just brought back some fresh flowers from the palace for us to take a look at Xian'er, but I never thought that he did it deliberately, but it is really rare to see Yan'er so attentive." ”
Su Yan didn't have time to care about her mother's "misinterpretation", she just stared straight at Chu Yan, she was leisurely from beginning to end, and there was no sign of redness and swelling on her body.
Until dinner, Su Yan didn't see any clues from Chu Wu, and with her mother's order, Su Yan sent Chu Wu back to the official post.
Along the way, Su Yan was always suspicious and unwilling, and finally arrived at the gate of the official post, Chu Wu got out of the carriage, and Su Yan asked: "Today's refreshment dishes, do you think the county lord is still used to it?" ”
"Everything is very good, and I have to thank General Su and Mrs. Su for their hospitality."
"Do you have any ...... then?"
"What?" Chu Yan looked at Su Yan puzzled.
"No, it's nothing, the county lord has a good rest, so I will leave." With that, Su Yan turned over and got on his horse, whipped away.
Chu Wu watched his back until he disappeared at the end of the street.
