He Ma and Chu Yunfei's hearts were a little heavy. If, as they speculated, the case becomes even more complicated. After a brief discussion, they quickly divided into two ways, with He Ma in charge of investigating the backgrounds of the two cooks, while Chu Yunfei rushed back to Meixiang Xiaozhu, and then looked through the information left by Mei Yingxue's father to see if he could find out any clues.

"Since you insist on thinking so, I have nothing to say! But this is not only related to the safety of Young Master Chu, but also related to my reputation, I won't do this......" As soon as he entered the door, Chu Yunfei heard Hu Ji's slightly angry voice.

Who would dare to come to Meixiang Xiaozhu to provoke orchids? Who can be so bold? Chu Yunfei quickened his pace, and when he entered the door, he found that Yingchun was sitting opposite Orchid, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing beside him, and Orchid's face was pale with anger.

"Two big beauties, what's wrong? Isn't it a fight to grab zongzi? Chu Yunfei quipped, he didn't know why the two of them quarreled, but he knew that he must not set himself on fire, if he accidentally provoked these two aunts and grandmothers at the same time, it would be an abyss from which he could never recover.

The two of them didn't even fight anymore, as if they deliberately avoided the conflict just now. Since they didn't want to mention it again, Chu Yunfei didn't want to ask again, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by Mei Yingchun, "I heard that you are investigating the kidnapping case, right?" I've found some things, and I know some clues, I wonder if you're interested? ”

"Clues?" Chu Yunfei looked at Mei Yingchun with bright eyes, "Of course, I'm worried about the information I don't have now." Tell me about it. ”

Orchid left in amusement.

Yingchun didn't speak, but turned around and went to the back. After a long while, she handed Chu Yunfei a sweat towel that still had body temperature on it, obviously she had just untied it from her body, "Don't ask me where I got it from, let's see what's so special about this sweat towel first?" ”

This didn't seem to be an ordinary sweat towel, because after unfolding it, a strange fragrance greeted him, making Chu Yunfei unable to tell whether it was the body fragrance on Yingchun's body or the smell of being scented by spices. Looking at the material, it doesn't look like an ordinary silk fabric, but it looks like it came from the Western Regions. One end of the sweat towel is embroidered with a blooming peony flower, which ...... It's the belt of the Spring Festival girl, what's so good?

Seeing his inexplicable expression, Yingchun laughed, "I thought Childe was also a person who had seen the world, but I didn't expect that he didn't even recognize such a thing." This is a tribute sent by the Western Xia Kingdom twenty years ago, and there are only three in total. This is a rare treasure in the world, even if you put it outside in winter, it is always warm to the touch, and in summer you don't sweat when you tie it to your body. Also, I don't know what material it's woven from, but it smells fragrant all year round. ”

"You say it's a tribute? Twenty years ago, a tribute? How did you get there? ”

"That's a long story. Before answering your question, can you tell me how long the history of the 'Jade Butterfly' is? Mei Yingchun asked rhetorically.

This really stopped Chu Yunfei. Seeing his embarrassed look, Yingchun laughed, "It seems that the all-knowing Chu Gongzi doesn't know everything." In that case, I don't have to answer you. However, among the many predecessors of our Jade Butterfly, one of them once entered the palace and became the concubine of the former emperor. She was given one of three sweat towels. ”

"You said Concubine Mei." Chu Yunfei laughed, who didn't know that the sensational love myth more than 20 years ago had been sung by countless people, and even now it is occasionally mentioned by people. The queen at that time obstructed in every possible way, and even threatened with death, but she could not prevent the commoner Concubine Mei from entering the palace. A few years ago, the emperor died, and Concubine Mei, who had always been in love with the emperor, hanged herself and was buried, "I had the honor to meet Concubine Mei, she ...... Could it be your Mei family? This sweat towel was given to you by her? ”

Yingchun didn't expect what happened twenty years ago, Chu Yunfei also knew, and the heart that wanted to show off was finally put away, she took the sweat towel and said, "Not bad." The one who entered the palace was my aunt. After these sweat towels entered the palace, the emperor felt that the color was too monotonous, so he asked the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to embroider peony flowers on them. One of them was given to my aunt. Later, my aunt gave it to my grandmother, who in turn gave it to me. According to my aunt, the other two, one was left by the queen, and the other is missing. ”

Chu Yunfei was confused when he heard it, "Does this sweat towel have anything to do with green peony?" ”

Yingchun listened to it and pointed to the peony flower on it: "What color do you think this peony flower is?" ”

Do you still need to ask? Such a large bright yellow peony flower can be seen at a glance. That's the color used by the royal family.

Yingchun glared at him, "You're really stupid!" Let you see the color of the peony flower because the one that was lost is embroidered with a green peony. Do you know the legend of the green peony? ”

Chu Yunfei looked at her with a little interest, where else could this girl go. However, Yingchun didn't notice that he was wandering at all, but continued, the legend of the green peony is the jasper hairpin on the head of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, which is extremely rare and is a treasure among peony flowers. After the green peony sweat towel was lost, the queen sent someone to look for it for a long time but did not find it, guessing that it might have been hidden by a palace maid or eunuch. Later, when the queen mother was seriously ill, many palace maids were dismissed in the palace, and there were also palace maids who had not been fortunate by the emperor. It is possible that the sweat towel was taken out of the palace at that time.

"Later, 'Green Peony' committed crazy crimes in Kaifeng Mansion, leaving the name of Green Peony everywhere, Yingxue's brother's father, that is, my uncle, once told my grandmother about this case. My grandmother suspected it might have something to do with sweat towels. However, because the people who were kidnapped were all rich or notorious, my grandmother didn't care, but just mentioned it to my uncle. However, yesterday I heard my cousin talk about the green peony, so I brought this sweat towel over to see if I could help. ”

Chu Yunfei was taken aback, Yingchun really helped him a lot! Since the peony pattern used by the other party is exactly the same, there must be a prototype. And embroidery on sweat towels also needs patterns, because the weaving and dyeing bureau is also dedicated to the palace, and all patterns must not be repeated. If the "green peony" is really related to the lost sweat towel embroidered with green peony, the pattern left behind may be the same.

The result of the comparison is amazing, because the peony flower on the ransom note and the peony flower on that sweat towel are exactly the same!
