Shen Shu walked to the basin rack and bent down to lift the wooden barrel next to the basin rack aside.

Subsequently, the joints of the floor tiles that were pressed under the barrel showed some traces of dry water.

At this moment, the early morning sun shines through the open door, giving these traces of water a pale grass green.

This corner is the place where the palace maids wash every day.

Even though the room is cleaned.

After so many sky installations, some watermarks on the walls and floor tiles have also dried up.

Only the watermark at the joints of this floor tile is not transparent white under the sun, but glowing with moss-like grass green.

Shen Shu's hand touched the traces of the grass-green and dried water.

In a moment, she felt an itch in her fingertips as if she had been stung by something.

She raised her wrist and looked at her fingertips, only to see some faint grass green powder, which was corroding the skin of her white fingertips into holes the size of needle's eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your Highness has a weapon with you?"

In the Forbidden Palace, ordinary people are not allowed to carry weapons, but Chu Yi is an exception.

He took out a short dagger from his sleeve, walked to Shen Shu's side and squatted: "What are you going to do, I'll come." ”

Shen Shu shook his head, pointed to the green water traces in the cracks, and said, "This is the mark left by the corpse grass powder after it dried up with the water. The smell is almost inaudible, but the toxicity is still there, so it's better for me to do it. ”

When Chu Yi heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

He thought that the green things were nothing more than damp moss growing in the house.

But I didn't expect it to be a poisonous weed.

His gaze swept over Shen Shu's deliberately lowered fingers, and he knew that she had obviously been tricked by her wipe.

"Let me see your hands."

Chu Yi said, and was about to grab Shen Shu's hand to check it.

But he was avoided by Shen Shu: "It's okay, but it's only a little bit of oily skin, and it won't take a quarter of an hour to recover as before." Please also ask Your Highness to give me the dagger. ”

Chu Yi's sword eyebrows frowned deeper.

He subconsciously wanted to stop Shen Shu from doing this dangerous thing further as usual.

But when I think about it—

When he was in Yunjiang before, every time he blocked him, he would only make this girl stubbornly put herself in a more dangerous situation.

Chu Yi pursed his lips and stood up and walked to the bed, tore off two strips of cloth from the sheets, and handed them to Shen Shu: "I use a dagger to pry open the green bricks, you wrap your hands with strips of cloth, lift the bricks and stones, and we will divide and cooperate." ”

Shen Shu originally saw King Yi suddenly stand up and tear the strips of cloth, thinking that he was going to be "strong" in front of him like before.

However, when she heard the words "division of labor and cooperation" from Chu Yi, who had always been domineering and unreasonable, her eyes widened in astonishment.

Oh my!

Isn't she following a fake king today!

When Chu Yi saw her like this, his phoenix eyes were slightly deep.

He curled his slender fingers, flicked it on the little eunuch hat on Shen Shu's head, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and wrap your hands with a cloth to work." ”

"Oh, good."

Shen Shu came back to his senses and smiled at him: "Your Highness is wise, listen to Your Highness." ”

As long as you are not stubborn, you are a good official.

This smile made Chu Yi stunned for a moment.

Especially the clear and soft compliment, like a feather sweeping across the tip of his heart, made his throat a little tight.

His phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and he hummed lightly, and stuffed the strip of cloth into Shen Shu's hand.

After a few breaths, he began to clean the brick joints with a dagger.

By the time Shen Shu wrapped his hands, Chu Yi had already carefully pried up a corner of the bluestone floor tiles.

Shen Shu hurriedly grabbed the corner of the prying and carefully pulled it up.

Then, a faint fishy smell came out from under the floor tiles.

The smell was the same stench that wafted through the room.

I thought it was something that was rotten and smelly.

But I didn't expect it to come from under this floor tile.

This time, Shen Shu frowned deeply, and finally came to a conclusion: "This is the smell of corpse grass after it has been turned into corpse bones for a long time." ”

Chu Yi's face was slightly gloomy, and he sped up the movements in his hands.

In this way, the two of them used a dagger to pry and a hand wrench, and soon lifted the huge bluestone floor tiles.

Because of this, I finally saw what was hidden under the floor tiles.

It was a boxy earthen trough.

At the bottom of the trough, there was a layer of wet, moss-like grass-green dregs.

Chu Yi used the blade of the dagger to stir in it a few times.

Faintly visible grass green dregs, mixed with some variegated colors.

There is flesh-colored, black, and white mush, and I can't tell what it is.

The faint fishy smell came from these dross.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Shen Shu motioned to Chu Yi, got up with the strip of cloth in his hand, and walked out of the room with Chu Yi.

"Those things should be flesh and bones that have been melted by corpse grass."

Shen Shu said in a low voice: "It's just strange, why didn't she get these things out, but instead disposed of them in such a hidden place, with the poisonous water of the corpse grass?" ”

Chu Yi thoughtfully: "There are many people in the palace, and even Gong Bucket is stared at. If you get it out and deal with it, it will be easy for people to find out,"

When Shen Shu heard this, her eyebrows moved slightly.

"In the Taiji Hall that day, what kind of poison did this palace maid have?"

Chu Yijian's eyebrows were deeply locked: "Follow me." ”

After saying this, he beckoned the forbidden army at the door to enter the courtyard to fetch water for them, and after cleaning her hands with Shen Shu, he took her out of the palace.

One after the other, they walked through the long vermilion alleys and came to a vast and heavily guarded palace adjacent to the western wall of the city.

On the black plaque of the palace, there are two big characters written "Beiya".

The guard in the flying fish suit stood at the door with a blank face, and did not salute until he saw King Yi.

Shen Shu had heard countless deeds of Beiya, and today when she really stood in front of the gate of Beiya for the first time, looking at the black and heavy plaque, she only felt a chill, and jumped straight up the back ridge from the soles of her feet.

For people like them, who are from official eunuch families, there is only one situation, they will enter the Beiya.

That's when you're going to be raided by the imperial court.

"Scared?" Chu Yi looked at her and asked.

Shen Shu hesitated and nodded.

"If you come twice, you'll not be afraid."

After Chu Yi said this lightly, he stretched out his slender and bony hand, took her wrist through Shen Shu's sleeve, and strode into the gate of Beiya.

Shen Shuxing's eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to break away with her backhand.

"Don't move." Chu Yi looked straight ahead with his eyes level, and said in a solemn voice: "The eunuchs who were originally in Beiya have all been cleared away. You are wearing eunuch clothes today, and if you are captured by the Flying Fish Guard, I will not find you. ”

Shen Shu: ......

I believe you're a ghost!

She was silently slandered in her heart.

However, when she felt the gaze falling on her from all directions—

Shen Shu's scalp tingled for a while.

She lowered her head, looked at herself in a eunuch's robe, and let Chu Yi lead her very cowardly towards the main hall in the middle......
