Shen Shu easily discerned-

That's the smell of drugs.

She walked into the room of the doorkeeper and looked at the smell of medicine, the mother-in-law was sitting on a chair and leaning her head to sleep soundly, and an empty wine jug was poured down from her hand.

The smell of the drug is exuded by the aroma of wine.

Shen Shu bent down and picked up the flask and sniffed it-

The amount of the drug is not too heavy, only enough for the mother-in-law to drink it and sleep until dawn.

No matter what happens in the yard, she won't wake up.

Shen Shu's face sank.

It seems that tonight's events have been calculated—

In advance, someone put drugs in the vigil's wife's wine to prevent the clothed man from being bumped into when he blew poisonous smoke.

This night watchman is a person from the Shen Mansion, and if she can arrange it by her grandmother's side, she must be an old man who has accumulated years.

The Shen Mansion has been resident in Yunjiang for several generations, and the subordinates have always been vigilant, and maybe, there is still an internal response lurking in this courtyard, which will make this woman relax her vigilance.

If this is the case, if Shen Shu continues to go back to the small meditation room to rest, the news that she will sleep in the room early tomorrow morning but is safe and sound will be spread.

Before figuring out why there was no incense ash mark on her eyebrows, Shen Shu intuitively didn't want outsiders to know that she could distinguish the smell of medicine.

Thinking so, Shen Shu left her mother-in-law's room, walked to the door of the small meditation room, closed the door of the small meditation room, and walked lightly into the unattended old lady Shen's room.

*

Early the next morning, the wind and rain stopped, and the sky cleared.

Shen Shu was sleeping soundly on the couch in Mrs. Shen's room, when there was a sudden panicked conversation outside the window.

"The courtyard door is locked well, the four girls are not in the room, the night watchman ate wine again last night, and just woke up."

"Look for it, maybe the girl was playing in the yard last night and rested somewhere else."

"Except for the upper room, I searched all over, but the girl is not there."

When Shen Shu heard this, she sat up from the couch, put on her shoes and walked out.

When the maidservants who were looking for her saw her, they saluted one after another.

Huaiyue greeted her and said with a smile: "Why did the girl go to sleep in the old lady's house?" Is there something wrong with the small meditation room? ”

Shen Shu's eyes turned around on the faces of several maids in the courtyard, and saw that they were all puzzled, and they couldn't see anything unusual, so they replied with a light smile: "I always like the sound of rain hitting plantains, and the couch near the window of my grandmother's room is closest to those plantains, and I can hear them most clearly, so I quietly went to sleep for a night." ”

When the maidservants heard this, they showed a sudden look on their faces, and they all pursed their lips and smiled, and brought the grooming things directly into the upper room, waiting for her to freshen up.

Shen Shu looked at them one by one quietly, but didn't find anything wrong.

Because he remembered the situation on the third brother's side, Shen Shu finished freshening up, took Huaiyue with him, and hurriedly walked towards Jingsi Garden.

As soon as the two of them walked to the gate of the meditation garden, the Fu steward who had been waiting for a long time greeted them.

"Did the girl sleep well last night? The old lady asked the old slave to greet the girl outside the garden, and the third young master really had a head illness last night, and the doctor gave the young master an injection, and he didn't fall asleep until dawn. ”

When Shen Shu heard this, her face changed greatly.

Yesterday, she said in front of her grandmother that the third brother's "head disease" was just nonsense based on the appearance of the third brother "seen" in her mind.

If the third brother really had a "head disease" last night, it means-

After the man in the costume entered the meditation garden last night, he succeeded!

"What happened in the courtyard last night?" Shen Shu asked in a deep voice.

"Why did the girl ask?" The Fu steward is not clear, so "There are more than 20 people in and out of the courtyard, except for the third young master, who is not very comfortable, the old slave has not heard of anything......"

Shen Shu frowned slightly, and without waiting for the Fu steward to guide the way, he raised his feet and walked quickly towards Shen Jinming's courtyard.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard with her front feet, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Shen Shu followed the taste and looked-

The third brother's personal servant, Fuxi, guarded the decoction in front of the small stove set up under the porch.

Shen Shu's eyes lit up, and she strode behind Fuxi.

"This is the medicine you grabbed from down the mountain yesterday?"

Seeing that it was her, Fuxi hurriedly got up, bowed down and replied, "Yes, girl, it is the medicine you saw at the door yesterday." ”

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

She crouched down and picked up the empty medicine bag that had been thrown to the side, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

The residual smell in the medicine bag was exactly the same as what she smelled at the gate of Jing'an Garden yesterday.

And yet, at this moment—

The smell wafting out of the medicine pot is more than the medicine on the prescription!

Hot cordata.

Shen Shu burst into this name in his mind.

Information about hot cordata, like an oracle, appeared in her mind again.

Just like last night's weed, this is another poisonous weed unique to the deep forests of Yunjiang.

Ordinary people who take the medicinal juice of hot cordata will feel dizzy and swelling in the brain, and the eyebrows and temples will be dull and painful like pins and needles, and the symptoms are very similar to head wind.

If you take it for 10 days, the toxicity of the cordata will deepen, and it will cause people to hallucinate and eventually become stupid!

Shen Shu never expected that under such a strict arrangement, he would be succeeded by the man in the cloth!

"Girl, but what's wrong with this medicine?"

Fu Xi saw that Shen Shu was holding the empty medicine bag, and his face was not very good-looking, so he asked carefully.

Shen Shu came back to his senses, threw back the empty medicine bag, stood up, looked at Fuxi and asked, "How many pairs of this medicine has the third brother taken since last night?" ”

"I ate one pair yesterday afternoon, and one pair before going to bed at night, and this is the third pair." Fu Xi replied respectfully, his eyes full of doubt.

Shen Shu's heart was slightly relaxed.

Fortunately, the smell of hot cordata in the medicine pot is very light, the other party should be afraid of being discovered, the amount is not heavy, now the third brother has only eaten twice, the body will not be in serious trouble, and there is still time to detoxify.

For some reason, Shen Shu felt as if she was extremely familiar with this hot cordata.

Just by smelling like this, she could think of the smell of hot cordata, and it should taste faintly bloody.

Right now, Shen Shu doesn't have time to delve into why he is like this, so he can only concentrate on solving the current matter-

Since the Fu steward said that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard last night, but the third brother was poisoned by the hot cordata, this means that the other party had already planned and laid out the situation in advance.

Not only did people put down the gatekeeper of the Hui'an Garden Zen Temple in advance, but even in the small courtyard of this meditation garden, I am afraid that there is also an internal response!

Thinking of this, Shen Shu decided to keep quiet for now, and with the help of this pot of medicine, he wanted to catch the internal response.

She instructed Fuxi: "I saw you in the rain when you went up the mountain yesterday, and I just smelled the dampness in this medicine bag, wait for you to fry the medicinal juice, take it to the doctor, and ask him to see if the herbs are damp on the way to the rescue." ”

The taste of hot cordata is very unique, and as long as the doctor in Yunjiang has tasted it, most of them can taste it.

If this doctor tastes the medicine, not only will he not be able to "taste" it, but he will not be able to diagnose the cause of the third brother's head disease-

That means the doctor is not clean.

Shen Shu didn't mind letting him drink the rest of the medicine.

Fuxi listened to Shen Shu's words, did not doubt him, scratched his head honestly, and responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Shu turned around and lifted the curtain and walked into Shen Jinming's room......
