From the aunt and grandmother of the Empress Dowager to Mrs. Xuanlu, how can the two amazing women of the Qu family who are so talented and do not let their eyebrows have such a preference for Lin Ruo?

Qu Xiaoxiang was wondering why, but in the next breath, Mrs. Xuanlu added: "But don't forget, you are the daughter of the Qu family, and in addition to taking care of the Qu family in everything, you must also remember that the queen mother was also born in the Qu family." ”

Qu Xiaoxiang didn't understand why Mrs. Xuanlu wanted to mention such a sentence to her for a while. But before she could ask a question, Mrs. Xuanlu didn't say anything more and sent her away directly.

However, the box of pastries that "tread the snow to find plums" was left very "naturally".

Qu Xiaoxiang thought as he walked, and when he returned to his room, he seemed to have something in his mind, but the thought flashed too quickly and he didn't catch it. was a little anxious in her heart, she withdrew her maidservant, and sat alone in front of the desk to meditate, but after still to no avail, she simply took out the note that Lin Ruo had left her with "great effort" from her sleeve.

Tangmen, don't act rashly.

Concealment, Boyu, water.

However, no matter from the beginning to the end, or from the end to the head, or from the top down, from the bottom to the top, there is no fame.

He flipped over a clasped porcelain cup from the table, leaned on the table, and then took the teapot, never taking his eyes off the paper, and poured water into the porcelain cup by feeling.

A few drops of tea splashed and landed on the table. Qu Xiaoxiang glanced at it casually, there was no silk cloth at hand, hesitated for a moment, and wiped it with his hand loudly - he had been in the army for a long time, and he didn't stick to these subtleties.

He took a big sip of tea on the spot, then swallowed it twice, sighed in his heart, and sighed in his heart: The taste of this tea is more than a star and a half different from what Lin Ruo brought to the racecourse!

Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift......

Qu Xiaoxiang pursed her mouth, put the porcelain cup aside, reached out, and re-pinched the piece of paper that Lin Ruo had left her in her hand.

Speaking of which, this Lin Ruo's mind is really hard to guess!

Not much to say about the content of the note, this way of transmitting the note is also chic enough.

Previously, in the carriage, Qu Xiaoxiang carefully touched the food box from top to bottom, from left to right, and was stunned that there was no paper pasted on the bottom!

Looking closely now, this "paper" is actually not paper, but a layer of extremely thin pieces of wood. Because its color, texture, and material are exactly the same as the food box, and it is closely attached to the food box, so it is difficult to be found. If it weren't for Qu Xiaoxiang's nervousness, he habitually rubbed his fingers repeatedly and lifted a folded corner, this note, oh no, a strip of wood, would probably have been left in Mrs. Xuanlu's room.

Qu Xiaoxiang wondered, where did Lin Ruo get her confidence and think that she would definitely be able to find such a hidden note?

No, if you think so, it's too long for others to be able to destroy your own IQ!

Qu Xiaoxiang spread the wood chips on the table again, and suddenly found that there seemed to be strange marks on the place where Fang Cai's fingers were holding, so he hurriedly took a closer look.

The corner of the thin piece of wood was a little wet and soft because it was stained with water, but because of this, two and a half words appeared on it that were not very clear.

Can it be wet?

Can be ...... in water Appear?

Water?!

Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned, in order to confirm her guess, she dipped her fingers in a little tea, and carefully smeared it behind the half-exposed word "Ke", and sure enough, the words on the thin piece of wood showed again, which was exactly what she thought-

It can be seen in water.

Qu Xiaoxiang snorted, raised his hand, and was about to pour the cup of tea on the wood chips, the hand holding the teacup stagnated in mid-air, and the tea only spilled a little along the wall of the cup, spilling a little, and falling on the wood chips irregularly.

After a while, the porcelain cup was put back on the table, Qu Xiaoxiang first wiped the water sprinkled on the thin wood piece, and a little handwriting appeared scattered, and then put his hand into the porcelain cup, and then wiped his wet hand on the thin wood piece.

"The handwriting can be seen when it gets wet, but only once."

The whole thin piece of wood was soaked, and the two lines and nine characters originally written on it disappeared, replaced by dense fly-headed letters, and the handwriting was a little more heroic than that of ordinary ladies in the boudoir.

However, because of the warning of the first sentence on the thin wood chip, Qu Xiaoxiang didn't care too much about the handwriting, but focused on the content.

On the thin piece of wood, which is three fingers wide and the length of a palm, three things are said: first, the words on this thin piece of wood appear in water, and they will only appear once; Second, the murderers of Qu Kuang and Gu Manxi are very likely to be people from the Tang Sect of Western Shu, but the reason has not yet been fully identified, and the strength of the Tang Sect has yet to be verified, so I begged Qu Xiaoxiang not to act rashly for the time being; Third, it is to emphasize once again that this matter is very important, don't tell anyone, if you are suspicious of Mrs. Xuanlu, you will use Su Muyu as a shield and get through the test.

This last one is consistent with Qu Xiaoxiang's attempt to deceive Mrs. Xuanlu, but the reason why he was able to think of this method was also because the handwriting on this thin piece of wood lingered in his mind.

As for the most important second, it seems to be full of sincerity, sharing all the information found with her, but in fact there is not much useful information, such as: Why is the murderer a person from the Tangmen of Xishu? Is there someone in the Tang Sect who wants to put Qu Kuang and Gu Manxi to death, or is someone hiring them to kill them? If someone hired them, what was the reason for doing it?

All the key clues have been carried by the sentence "not all have been ascertained".

Is it really not clear, or is there something hidden? Or, is it utter nonsense?

Also, why did Lin Ruo emphasize again that this matter was very important?

While pondering, the water stains on the thin pieces of wood had dried up, no longer as smooth and soft as before, and the small letters on it, as described, had disappeared, along with the original nine characters.

Qu Xiaoxiang tentatively smeared water on it, and the thin wood pieces became smooth and soft again, but there was no trace of brush and ink except for the original texture and color.

It can be seen in water, but only once.

Sure enough.

There was no corroboration.

He was a cautious man.

It is precisely because of Lin Ruo's caution that Qu Xiaoxiang is even more hesitant about the handwriting that once existed on this thin piece of wood: Is Lin Ruo cautious to prevent the grass from startling the snake, or is he cautious to design it for her?

"Minhui is a good boy, and it's good for you to be close to her."

Mrs. Xuanlu's words lingered in her ears again.

The Queen Mother and Mrs. Xuanlu all favor Lin Ruo very much, but they don't seem to be exactly.

Otherwise, Mrs. Xuanlu would not have specially reminded her.

"You are the daughter of the Qu family, in addition to caring about the Qu family in everything, you must also remember that the queen mother was also born in the Qu family."

The queen mother, also born in a music family?!

A white light flashed in Qu Xiaoxiang's mind, and the clues she hadn't grasped before were suddenly clearly detained: the queen mother was her aunt and grandmother, and her name was Qu Lianying; The "Qu Lianyang" that Lin Ruo asked her to check is the sister of the Queen Mother and the daughter of the Qu family; Mrs. Xuanlu reminded her that it was difficult to take care of the Queen Mother and the Qu family......

Lin Ruo's repeated emphasis on "great relations" is actually related to the Queen Mother, the Qu family, and her other aunt and grandmother Qu Lianyang, who died early?

Small Theatre:

Qu Xiaoxiang: The note is so secretive, how do you know that I will find out?

Lin Ruo: Your habits.

Qu Xiaoxiang: Only when you get wet can the handwriting appear, how do you know that I can definitely guess?

Lin Ruo: It's still your habit.

Qu Xiaoxiang: What habits?

Lin Ruo: The living habits of a rough girl who is unkempt and unruly.

Qu Xiaoxiang: ...... (ฺ☄◣ω◢)ฺ☄, I don't want to lose face!
