Chapter 20 The Mystery of the Hairpin
In the early winter, I see the distant mountains, and the snow is green. Beixi fell the first snow of the year, and looked at the snow in the yard with water, and remembered the appearance of the first snow in Agarwood Valley.
Since entering the spiritual dining room, it has been almost a month, and she has written several letters to her home one after another, and she doesn't know what happened to her father and mother.
Today's snow is sad, the cold is biting, all the palaces have asked the spiritual dining room for Shi Zhen soup, and people are coming and going in a hurry early in the morning. Shizhen soup is the most troublesome to make, at dawn it is necessary to put medicinal materials and food in the soup bowl, and the small fire is blared for four hours, and every other hour it is necessary to open the lid and continue to add the broth, so that the taste is the worst. And Chengyan has extremely high dietary requirements, and the time for boiling is mentioned for seven hours.
Daishui looked at the huge sand bowl boiling on the fire in the main pharmacy, and sighed slightly, "For this pot of things, I have to wait until noon, it's really a poor family selling a man and a rich man." No wonder everyone wants to enter the palace, the situation in the palace is undoubtedly luxurious.
The little guy with the water and the caretaker in the pharmacy gave careful advice, and returned to the room and closed the door, revealing the delicate little gold bracelet on his left ankle. Ever since she picked up the jasper hairpin of unknown origin at the bottom of the lake, it had been on her feet, and she had never cared about it.
But thinking back to what Dukong said in the lobby a month ago, if she had tried it for drug testing, she would not have been able to pass all the way to today, and she didn't show any signs of poisoning at all when she took the test that day.
Obisui began to suspect that all this had something to do with the strange bracelet on her foot, and she remembered that she was attacked by a thief, and the man's hand had already hit her leg, but it was like a thorn in her hand and she couldn't succeed.
Today happens to be busy, and it's a good time to explore. Bring water and take out a porcelain bottle, which contains the poison that I stole from the Puji house a few days ago, and the poisoned person will be stiff and unable to move in an hour. But to be on the safe side, she reduced the toxicity.
If this hairpin really has the effect of detoxifying and benefiting oneself, it is definitely a treasure weapon for self-defense, and you will not get a big bargain! So without hesitation, Daisui poured a whole bottle of venom on his ankles, and a burning sensation spread from his ankles in an instant, just when Daisui was a little suspicious.
But I saw that the ginger venom on the hairpin gradually became lighter until it disappeared. This hairpin is like a swaddling baby, sucking in the poison without a drop left!
With water overjoyed, eyebrows and eyes flying, I couldn't help laughing out loud. Gently touched the bracelet that still carried her body temperature, and when she got a gap in the future, she wanted to try a more toxic poison, and the color in her eyes overflowed.
After pondering in the room for a while, I went to the master to have lunch together. After eating, I was still a little worried about bringing water, so I came to the pharmacy. The fire under the soup bowl was extinguished for a while, and there was not much soup left in it, so it should have been sent to the palaces.
"Don't worry, girl, it's about ready to go. This bowl was specially reserved for the girl at the master's order, so drink it while it's hot," the maidservant on the side replied respectfully.
Brought the water and picked up the small spoon and put it into his mouth, and smiled, "Salty and sweet, this time I did a good job, I worked hard for you."
The maid's expression was a little strange, she touched her head, "Is this soup salty, strange, how to run errands The servant said, there is a palace gate of the drug testing palace people said that this soup tastes a little bitter..."
Daishui's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately asked, "Which palace!" ”
The maidservant was a little shocked by this sudden momentum, and said, "Yes... It seems to be the palace of the Six Princes."
In a moment, Daishui had already run out, leaving only one sentence, "Go and tell Master Chengyan, let him lock the entrance and exit gates, and thoroughly investigate the palace people!" ”
Remembering the last time Cheng Yan let her familiarize herself with the maps of the palaces, the palace of the six princes should not be far from here, I hope it is still too late...
The front door of the palace should be, there are really guards at the door, and I am so rash that I not only can't get in but will delay the opportunity, forget it, it's all about moving your muscles. Kicking the wall three times with water and dividing it by two, he grabbed the eaves, and one rolled over—he fell heavily to the ground, and his arm tingled.
Looking left and right, there seemed to be the sound of playing the piano in the backyard, and I rushed over without thinking about it. From a distance, a man in a dark green light-grained long silk coat sat on a jade chair, but the person playing the piano was a young woman.
Daisui didn't want to break the silence, but when she looked closely, there was a steaming soup on the stone table next to the man, and she immediately grabbed a stone and threw it at the small bowl with all her might—the man couldn't dodge..."Boom"—right in the head.
Dai Shui suddenly felt a wave of anger thrown at this side, and the whole person was petrified in place. She just... Did you hit the prince...?
