"Hey! The little lord stays! Seeing that Shi Qingqian was about to walk out, Shen Zhirong still stopped her, took out his hand from behind him, and handed her the jade ornament in his hand, "Look, it's not a very valuable thing, it's just that my mother gave it to me before I entered the palace...... You know, you always have to keep a thought......

"Ah, it's so precious......" Shi Qing was taken aback, smiled embarrassedly, just took the jade ornament and glanced at it lightly, and then handed it back to her, "I just think the pattern is good-looking, it's rare to draw a pattern on a jade plate, so I'm a little curious...... Since it was left to you by your sister and your mother, then you can keep it, although this jade ornament looks dirty, but it is also worth a lot of money, there are many people in the palace, and the thing will suffer when it meets a person with unclean hands and feet. ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhirong took the jade into her arms, and she smiled lightly, "Thank you for the reminder from the little county lord." ”

Shi Qingqian waved his hand, "By the way, Lan promised to spend one night with His Majesty, or take some medicine to avoid getting caught by the cold, I'll leave first, and I'll come back another day." ”

After that, the two of them bowed to each other politely, Shi Qingqian turned to leave, while Shen Zhirong was still standing at the door, holding the jade ornament in her hand, trembling incessantly.

Finally, Shi Qingqian's figure disappeared for a long time, and Shen Zhirong turned around and ran frantically to a flower bed, not caring about the mud, and reached out to dig it up.

It wasn't until she buried the jade ornament deep under the dirt that she breathed a sigh of relief, patted the dirt on her hands casually, and turned back into the object.

Here, Xue Ying and Shi Qingqian walked side by side and asked, "Miss, is that jade ornament a very important thing?" Your expression...... It's not like it's just because it's pretty......"

"You see that?" Shi Qingqian tilted his head and smiled, "Okay, I have to admit that my explanation is a bit far-fetched, then Shen Zhirong doesn't seem to be something to mess with, she must have seen it." ”

"It shouldn't be......" Xue Ying said, "If you see it, why do you have to show it to Miss again?" ”

Shi Qingqian just smiled and didn't answer again.

She wasn't ready to involve Xue Ying in these things.

On top of the jade ornament, a pattern is delicately carved with black fuel, which is made of two coiling snakes, which have been transformed.

At the first glance of it, Shi Qingqian felt familiar, so he had to go over to take a look.

Although Shen Zhirong hurriedly took it, she should be able to guess a thing or two from her reaction, Shi Qingqian guessed that maybe she thought that she had seen the lines on the jade ornament clearly, and blindly covering up and dodging made it even more suspicious, so she simply took it out generously and asked her to take a look.

Moreover, Shen Zhirong should not have guessed that she really knew what the meaning of the pattern was-

The totem of the East Country.

Many years ago, when Shi Qingqian gave the fifth princess a wedding, she had been to Dongwu country, and she had seen this pattern countless times on the streets of that country, although she couldn't remember it suddenly, but as long as she thought about it a little, she could recall it clearly.

However, how could Shen Zhirong have a relationship with Dongwu Kingdom? She is the daughter of the assassin, and she was born in a small town outside the capital, so it is absolutely impossible for her to be involved with Dongwu for no reason.

Shi Qingqian thought about these things that had happened recently, poisons, snakes, and Dongwu...... She couldn't believe it, could it be...... Is the poison on Shen Mi's body really from Dongwu?

Although she has been trying her best to find the source of the poison these days, after all, once the source is determined, it will be easier to find a way to detoxify. But when she seemed to have really come into contact with the truth, she suddenly hesitated a little......

The poison came from Togo's words, why? Why? Dongwu has only been married to Yu Guo for a few years, so there is no reason to do anything to Yu Guo at this time!

Moreover, what role does Shen Zhirong play in this huge conspiracy...... She was really a little confused.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Qingqian still decided not to tell Shen Mi about this matter first.

After all, in a few days, the fifth princess will come back from Dongwu, regardless of whether her sudden and unreasonable return to China has anything to do with this matter, if Shen Mi knows that the source of the toxin may be related to Dongwu, or if a concubine in his harem has something to do with Dongwu, he may not be able to treat the fifth princess as if nothing happened.

Shi Qingqian thought, when the fifth princess came back, he would find her to knock on the side.

The poison from Dongwu is naturally good, and he can directly get the antidote to Shen Mi for treatment, but it's just ...... Why Dongwu's poisonous return appeared in the palace of Yuguo may still need to be discussed; And if the poison didn't come from Dongwu, Shi Qingqian could basically get to where it came from, and the only difficulty was how to detoxify it.

Thinking about it, she went to the Heart Nourishing Hall to do daily pulse diagnosis work for Shen Mi.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you went to Lin Xing Shen Zhilan last night?" As soon as he entered the door, Shi Qingqian asked with a smile.

Originally, Shen Mi had enough headaches, but he didn't expect to be sarcastically ridiculed by Shi Qingqi, and he wanted to cry without tears at the moment, "Wow, don't say it, little girl!" That incident last night was really strange, alas......"

"Your Majesty still has an impression?" Shi Qingqian knelt beside Shen Mi, and while starting to diagnose the pulse, he asked, "If you have anything, tell me about it?" Maybe it has something to do with the toxins in your body. ”

Shen Mi said that although he didn't want to mention last night's incident at all, he still frowned and thought about it carefully, but he felt that every time he thought about it, his head would ache faintly.

"Shhh......h I wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to relax, and after meeting Shen Zhirong, I thought that there was nothing to say a word or two, but ...... Hiss......" As he spoke, he felt a headache, no matter how he thought about it, the things at that time were not real at all, and many details seemed to have disappeared directly inexplicably, "Later, I just vaguely remember that I and Shen Zhirong entered the house together, and I can't remember it clearly...... Ahem, but there's one thing I know - I can't seem to do what I thought about last night...... No, it should be said, I didn't have any ideas at all, I was like a puppet without consciousness at that time......"

After speaking, Shen Mi looked at Shi Qingqian, I don't know if she listened carefully to her words that didn't match her words, but she saw that her face was extremely serious, and her eyes were staring straight at the hand that was taking her pulse.

"Little girl? What's wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, how do you feel today?" Shi Qingqian raised his head abruptly and asked solemnly, "You must tell the truth!" Eating, drinking, and sleeping, do you feel anything unusual? ”

Shi Qingqian almost couldn't believe his judgment anymore - the poison in Shen Mi's body had worsened again.
