The saint took the herb and looked at it carefully, and found it somewhat familiar.

"This, it seems to be a dry Gu."

Lin Kite is not from southern Xinjiang, even Gu is rare, and he can't say that he has a name, let alone a Gu that looks like a herb: "Dry Gu?" What is it? ”

Dry Gu is a very special kind of Gu in southern Xinjiang, but it can also be made into Gu poison, and it is often misunderstood that it looks like a herb, so he relaxed his vigilance, but the toxicity of dry Gu is easier to incorporate than others, and many people don't know, thinking that Gu worms can become poisonous. Therefore, some people in southern Xinjiang are very fond of using dry Gu when they are poisoned, and they don't know it, and after boiling it into medicine, they can't find it in the residue.

The holy woman explained the thing of Dry Gu to Lin Kite, and then told her the particularity of Dry Gu: "Dry Gu is not a small thing, because it is too similar to herbs, and sometimes we people in southern Xinjiang will eat it by mistake." And this Gu has a special place, that is, it will be resurrected when it encounters water. ”

"Resurrection in water?" Lin Yuan sighed a little in her heart, because she really couldn't ask what this herb was, she also planned to cook it to see what changes there were, but fortunately she didn't cook it, otherwise she was terrified when she thought of a Gu worm mixed in a pot of medicine, "Then after boiling this herb and drinking it, wouldn't it be that the Gu worm will also enter the human stomach." ”

"That's right" The holy woman nodded, suddenly thought of something, held up this dry Gu and asked her: "By the way, although this dry Gu is not unusual, it is also rare, where did you find this dry Gu?" ”

After all, the matter of the dry Gu can't be hidden from the holy woman, and speaking of which, this dry Gu and the holy woman are also inextricably linked, so they told the truth: "Do you remember the last time I came to you?" ”

"Hmm"

"After talking to you, I went to the dead emissary's room to see if there were any other clues, and I found a pair of herbs. At that time, when the Dongying envoy died, I noticed that he had eczema on his neck, and I thought, maybe this herb may be the cure for eczema, sure enough, it is really, it's just, I talked to the owner of the pharmacy, and every herb can be matched, but there is more of this dry Gu. But the owner of the pharmacy didn't know this herb, so I thought I'd come and ask if you know. ”

The herbs for eczema were mixed with a dry Gu, and the saint secretly said that it was not good, no wonder the Dongying envoy was poisoned by Gu and died.

But even if he cleared his suspicions, this Gu incident is probably still related to southern Xinjiang, and this matter is still troublesome......

The holy woman said worriedly: "This matter still has nothing to do with southern Xinjiang, or it is a person from southern Xinjiang, but who would want the Dongying envoy to die, the envoy has always represented the country, and it is not a trivial matter to poison a messenger." ”

"Well, after thinking about it, I have to ask you, you must be familiar with the people from southern Xinjiang who came here this time, but there are people with strange whereabouts." Since it was a dry Gu, it must still be a part of the southern Xinjiang, so she could only go back to the holy woman and ask her if there was anyone suspicious.

The saint recalled these days, the people from southern Xinjiang who came with her, and thought of a person: "Qinglan!" ”

"Qinglan? I remember you said before that you were suspicious of Qinglan. ”

The saint thought about it carefully, since Qinglan was sent here by the Queen Mother, she always secretly went out of the post station a few days ago, worrying about the affairs of the Queen Mother's faction, and she has been unhappy to deal with her, and asked what the Queen Mother sent her to do.

"Well, I only remember now, since she came to the post station, she has always secretly gone out, my maid has told me a few times, and I have seen it myself a few times, but because I have to deal with the affairs of southern Xinjiang, I don't pay too much attention. Thinking about it now, she was really suspicious at the time. ”

The person sent by the Queen Mother is indeed suspicious, but she can't be convicted just because she went out secretly, Lin Yuan took a few sips of tea and thought for a while......

She didn't stay at the saint's place for long, asked about the Gu and talked a few words about Qinglan's motives and left the station, but things always came by chance, as soon as she got out of the station, she found that Qinglan had sneaked out of the station, and remembering the saint's words, she hid behind and followed her.

After following a street or two, Qinglan realized that something was wrong, it seemed that someone was secretly following her. She quietly slowed down and walked into a ready-to-wear store, Lin Yuan was not good at following up, for fear of exposing herself, so she had been waiting by a small stall outside the store, but after waiting for a long time, Lin Yuan suddenly felt bad, walked into the ready-to-wear store, swept around, and found that there was no Qinglan anymore.

"I'm really vigilant, I actually noticed that someone was following her." Lin Yuan didn't hope that he would get any news from this tracking, but since he lost it, he returned to the palace.

But after returning to the palace, she really received a surprise news, even if she lost it, she went around and around, and she still knew the news of that person.

"Niangniang, my subordinates have been closely monitoring Oiran at your orders, and I just discovered that Oiran was meeting privately with a servant girl next to the Holy Maiden."

"The handmaiden beside the saint? But the one named Qinglan? ”

"The subordinates don't look very carefully, but looking at the figure, it seems that it is called Qinglan, and he is wearing cyan clothes today."

Cyan clothes, that's right, just now Lin Yuan noticed that she was wearing blue clothes today: "Then can you hear what they are saying?" ”

"The subordinates didn't dare to get too close to them, and when they heard words like silver, they were probably trading something in secret."

"Okay, where are they trading, take me quickly."

Lin Yuan couldn't wait to arrest them, Qing Lan was really restless, if there was no accident in this Gu poison case, she made it, and the purpose should be to frame the saint, she could only say that she didn't expect that the saint would clash with the Dongying envoy, causing the Gu poison to be more deliberate.

As soon as she was about to get up, a mellow male voice came from outside the palace, it was Zhao Yun: "Kite, this thing is too dangerous, then Qinglan doesn't know if she has Gu poison, what if she poisons you?" ”

"No, I'll just bring more people."

Zhao Yun still disagreed, this matter was too dangerous: "No, I'm still not at ease, so let's leave this matter to me, otherwise I won't agree to you going." ”

"Okay, okay, you go, it's my lack of consideration."

But Lin Kite's expression was still dissatisfied, feeling that she didn't catch it personally, it was always uncomfortable, of course Zhao Yun knew her thoughts, pinched her bulging face, and smiled: "So angry?" There is always a risk in investigating the case, and I don't let you go in person, because I have considerations. ”

Of course, she knew that she was just awkward for a while, and she didn't answer, but urged him to hurry up, what if he ran away if he was late.

When Zhao Yun took people to go, Qinglan was gone, only Xianglan was alone, presumably it had been discussed, Zhao Yun was not as roundabout as Lin Yuan, and now if Oiran was suspicious, he directly ordered her to be arrested.

Xianglan suddenly saw so many people coming to arrest her, and said in horror: "Who are you, why are you arresting me?" You know who I am, and if I go missing, you'll all be doomed. ”

Zhao Yun would listen to her say so much nonsense, waved her hand, and directly asked people to arrest her: "Arrest it." ”

Xianglan was caught in a dungeon-like place, surrounded by torture instruments, and the torture instruments placed in front of Oiran would be varied, she realized that the person in front of her seemed to be unusual, and begged for mercy directly: "Who are you, please, let me go, I'm just a prostitute, where did I offend you." ”

She was tied to the shelf, and Zhao Yun, who was sitting in front of her, rubbed the wrench on his thumb, wiped out the cause and effect of the matter, and said: "You didn't offend me, but you think about it carefully, what did you do, and then tell me if you think about it, if there is half a lie, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

She panicked, could it be that the matter was revealed: "I didn't do anything, I am innocent, you can do it, let me go!" ”

"I don't have the patience to listen to you say some nonsense, if you don't say it, this tongue will be useless, anyway, I can't listen to half of what I say." After speaking, he made a gesture and motioned to the person next to him.

The people on the side also moved neatly, and pulled out the knife that flashed with a cold and cold light, she realized that the matter was very serious, and hurriedly begged: "I said, I said everything, it was Qing Lan, Qing Lan asked me to mix that dry Gu into the herbs of the messenger, all this is none of my business, I just said it according to her instructions." ”

Zhao Yun snorted coldly, he didn't expect Xianglan to be so unintimidating, and immediately confessed the behind-the-scenes instructions: "Didn't you just say that you didn't do anything?" Are you innocent? ”

"No, no, no, my lord, I was wrong, please let me go, it was Qinglan who asked me to do this, please."

The beauty's pleading with flowers and rain did not play a role in Zhao Yun's cold face, and she still commanded mercilessly: "Catch it, lock it up, and wait for processing." ”

After speaking, Xianglan was taken away, wailing all the way.

Now that he knew the truth of the matter, Zhao Yun began to prepare to gather all the envoys, and also ordered someone to arrest Qinglan.

The messengers of Dongying were all shouted out, as well as the holy maiden.

"Your Majesty, you are in such a hurry to call us and others, but the murderer of this case has already been found?"

Zhao Yun nodded and told them about this from beginning to end, but when this matter was announced, Qinglan slipped away quietly, and she found that someone had come to arrest her, which meant that she had been exposed.

She had already put a Gu worm on Xianglan's body, just to prevent the matter from being revealed, she used the mother Gu to find Xianglan's breath and found that she was locked up in a dungeon-like place.

Xianglan was very happy to see her, and thought that she was here for herself, but as soon as she wanted to ask for help, she was killed by Qinglan with a knife, and the stunned expression on her face instantly froze on her face: "You...... You don't keep your word, you hateful slut. ”

"Idiot, you still want me to save you after the matter is revealed? Dreaming"
