Shen Shu blew out the candle, got on the bed, covered the quilt and sat against the wall.

In the darkness, she kept her eyes open and adjusted for a while before she could see the outlines of the tables and chairs in the room through the faint light of the window.

The wind lamp under the verandah of the house was blown by the strong wind, casting hideous shadows on the thin window paper.

Shen Shu listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, and only felt that her heart was pounding, and she really couldn't tell whether she was nervous and excited, or nervous.

And just like that, she waited for two hours—

Suddenly, the wind lamp under the porch went out.

On the window paper, only a transparent pale remained.

The whole room was plunged into deeper darkness.

The uniform rustle of the rain washing on the plantain outside the house, mixed with some abnormal sounds, came into Shen Shu's ears.

Here it comes!

Shen Shu sat up straight, staring at the window with a wrong eye-

On the window paper, a blurry figure appeared.

The figure was dressed in a cloak and hat, tall and broad-shouldered, and looked like a man.

The huge Jing'an Garden is a place where female pilgrims live, and even the guards are mothers-in-law, but there are no men.

Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The man just stayed by the window and didn't go to the door, which made Shen Shu quickly think of Huaiyue's death-

Huaiyue died in her sleep, her face peaceful, apparently undisturbed before she died.

Shen Shu's heart moved, and she got out of bed and walked to the table.

She carefully opened the lid of the kettle on the table, pulled the handkerchief from her cuff and threw it in.

At the same time—

The man outside the window also took out a long tube and silently punctured the window paper.

Shen Shu quickly scooped the handkerchief out of the water and covered his mouth and nose.

The eyes exposed outside the veil stared straight at wisps of white smoke wafting out of the pipe that reached out of the window!

Shen Shu stayed as far away from the window as possible, and leaned down extremely low to avoid the drifting range of the smoke.

Even so—

She was extremely sensitive to the smell of medicine, and she also smelled a very faint smell of medicine through the veil.

Get out of the grass!

Shen Shu burst out of this name when his mind was neutral.

Immediately after, all the news about Licao appeared in her mind in an instant, like an "oracle".

This is a unique herb in the deep forest of Yunjiang, not so much a medicine as a poison!

A sufficient dose of weed, as long as it is inhaled into the nose, will slowly paralyze people's heart and lungs, and then make people die of heart failure unconsciously!

There is no doctor in the medicine stone!

It was only at this moment that Shen Shu was completely sure of the cause of Huaiyue's death-

Huai Yue must have inhaled the poisonous smoke from the grass in her sleep, and it disappeared without a sound.

Unless it is a very experienced autopsy, no one will ever find out the true cause of her death, and they may think that she died of a sudden heart disease!

It's just that Shen Shu doesn't understand that she who is in the same room with Huaiyue will also inhale poisonous smoke, why doesn't there be a scented ash mark on her eyebrows?

At this moment, it is not the time to delve into this matter.

Shen Shu held her breath and lowered her body lower.

She pulled out the silver hairpin in her hair, her whole body tense and ready to go.

Just wait for the man to enter the house, and hit it with one blow!

However, to her surprise -

The man blew the poisonous smoke, put away the bamboo pipe, and quietly left the window.

Shen Shu frowned deeply, walked to the door lightly, and carefully opened a gap.

Just in time, the man climbed over the wall and jumped out of the yard!

Shen Shu opened the door, took off the veil, quickly put on her robe, opened the courtyard door softly, and quietly followed.

She knew that her kung fu was not good, so she was far behind the man, not daring to follow too closely.

At this moment, although the rain was not as fierce as before, the wind was very strong, and the cold wind wrapped in cold raindrops, smashing on Shen Shu's face, stabbing her face with pain.

Fortunately, the man was wearing a robe, and in such bad weather, he relaxed his vigilance and did not notice Shen Shu behind him.

Shen Shu followed him out of the corner gate of Hui'an Garden, and walked all the way in the direction of Fuyun Temple.

It took about two teas -

The man stopped outside the red wall of Fuyun Temple, and after looking around vigilantly, he threw out his hook and claw to climb to the top of the wall, and quickly turned over!

Shen Shu took a few steps back and looked at the temple wall.

Behind the wall, in the south corner, there is a ginkgo tree.

If she guessed correctly, behind this wall should be the Jing'an Garden, which is dedicated to male pilgrims to rest.

Shen Shu's eyebrows turned cold.

In the courtyard of the third brother, there are doctors and guards guarding them, even if the man knows how to make poison, he can't easily succeed.

Shen Shu was not worried about Shen Jinming's safety.

If that man's target is really the two brothers and sisters, I believe that he will not be able to escape the trap laid by the welfare in the courtyard tonight.

Thinking like this, Shen Shu turned around and walked back towards Hui'an Garden quickly.

Just after the figures of the man in the cloth and Shen Shu disappeared around the temple wall-

A gray shadow flew down from between the branches of the ginkgo tree and jumped into the courtyard beneath the tree.

This is a guest house courtyard located in the most remote corner of the meditation garden.

Although it was late at night, the upper room in the middle of the courtyard was still lit by candles.

The gray shadow walked quickly to the door of the upper room, and truthfully reported the scene he had just seen in the tree to the little man guarding the door.

The little servant looked surprised, groaned for a few breaths, and knocked lightly on the door.

When he heard the sound inside, the little servant bowed down and walked into the room.

The room was filled with the strong smell of medicine, and a young man of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a flowing plain white wide-sleeved bedcoat, was standing at a table near the window.

His slender hands were as long as jade, and he casually held a yellowed ancient book, which was originally a perfect picture, but was ruined by an old scar extending from the tiger's mouth to the back of his hand.

The man looked intent, studying the scattered stacks of herbs on the table.

His side face is handsome and elegant to the extreme, but he is resolute.

The flickering candle flame spread a ghostly and magnificent luster on his fair face, which made people unconsciously hold their breath when they looked at it.

"What's the matter?" The man asked casually.

The voice is lazy, but it is exceptionally clear, the better it sounds.

"Fang Cai Yingwei was on the tree, and saw a girl following a man, the shape was a little suspicious. The woman was not very old, her body was weak and weak, but she walked ten steps. ”

"Ten smoke steps?"

The man turned his head to look at the little girl, a pair of extremely beautiful Ruifeng eyes, as quiet and deep as a spring mountain.

But it was rare to be a little surprised: "How could Uncle Huang's original steps with Yingwei's original steps appear in this wild frontier place, and who is she following?" ”

"It's the pilgrims who came in today, some of them are superficial, they should be locals." The little servant bowed down and asked, "Do you want to check the details of these two people?" ”

The man's eyes moved slightly, he waved his hand casually, and turned his head to look at the herbs on the table again: "There is something important to do when I come out this time, since the woman is related to the imperial uncle, there is no need to investigate, so as not to cause extraneous branches, let them go." ”

The little guy got the order, bowed and retreated.

*

Hui'an Garden, the small courtyard where Mrs. Shen lives.

Shen Shu walked back to the courtyard the original way, bolted the courtyard door, and was about to go back to the room-

Leng Buding smelled the slightest smell of medicine, and floated out of the room where the doorkeeper lived......
