Chapter 196: Waves (Part II)
"Can you find out that the bottle is poisonous?"
Zong Qi said: "It has not been ascertained. But Jingxian, as you just said, using too much essential oil can be counterproductive. ”
Huaxi looked at the slightly provocative smile on the corner of Susukino Zongqi's lips, and said coldly: "It's not surprising that the essential oil bottles in my workshop appeared in Yu Heng's office, I originally gave two boxes to the princess, and one of them was transferred to the princess. The samples are all the same as those of the palace entered. Sent to the palace, the hospital has experienced it, and there is no problem. What is in Xun Rou's house is not a gift from me, and it has nothing to do with me as to where she got it. Besides, if I really poisoned it, wouldn't I be stupid enough to use my own things? It's not about shooting yourself in the foot. ”
Yi Zhen echoed: "Xun Rou's essential oil is obtained from the palace, if there is really something, then the palace is not inseparable?" ”
"How can Zong Qi doubt his aunt? Xun Rou's matter will not be mentioned for the time being. The subordinate who settled in the fence said that Yu Heng had nothing to do with refining incense in the perfume mixing room, but that day he had an accident after refining according to the recipe you changed according to Jingxian. Even if Zong Qi doesn't pursue this matter, is it difficult to guarantee that the princess and the king of Zhidu won't? ”
Susukino Zongqi changed his words, "Hey, Zong Qi has a lot of offenses when he speaks, and I hope my aunt and Jingxian will be considerate." I just want to ask first to understand clearly, if something like this happens, my father will definitely send someone to investigate thoroughly, Jingxian and Xun Rou are my sisters, Yu Heng is my aunt's future husband, and no one is happy to see anything happen. Zong Qi can neither let go of the real murderer, nor can he wronged the good people. ”
Hua Xi saw that Susukino Zongqi reversed right and wrong, and sneered: "If the three kings are really wise, they can ask someone else to refine it, and they can distinguish the authenticity from the false." If something goes wrong while refining incense, it could only be that something else has been added...... As for whether it was an ulterior motive, or Yu Heng himself misplaced the raw materials, it is up to you to investigate the three kings. ”
"That's natural, it should be investigated, and it will be found out naturally, these days, please don't leave the other garden." Susukino Zong replied with a smile, but the smile seemed to have a deep meaning, "There is nothing to do here for the time being." Come, send the princess and the lord back to their residence. ”
Yizhen and Huaxi came out of the hall, and while walking, Yizhen comforted Huaxi and said, "It's so decent, how can Xun Rou ...... Zong Qi is really excessive, and he actually suspects you. Don't worry, with me, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Huaxi's face was slightly gloomy, and she said thoughtfully: "Did Xun Rou go to you yesterday to ask for calendula flower oil?" ”
Yi Zhen thought about it for a while, and said with a little surprise: "Yes, I wonder how she knows, she said that Yu Heng pointed to you, and you said that you gave it to me, so she came to me." Listen to the meaning of her words, and I know that you don't want to give it to her, so that's why you pointed it to me...... It's just that I was trying it out at hand, and I couldn't say that I couldn't do it, so I had to take half of it and give the rest to her. Blame me, just don't give it to her at that time, and in the end it will hurt you......"
Huaxi frowned and wondered, this matter didn't seem like a temporary idea. The jade comb came to find the essential oil, and it happened that Xun Rou came to ask for the same taste, Xun Rou went to the Shuying Pavilion, and coincidentally caught up with Yizhen to try the essential oil, and Xun Rou naturally got what she wanted. She tried so much to find this flavor, how could it be that she wanted to try a new recipe? She had long thought about targeting herself. This essential oil was not what she wanted, but what she had to get...... But even if Xun Rou was arrogant in the past, she was not stupid enough to risk her life to win people in order to blame others, and she had no deep hatred with her, which must have an inside story......
Huaxi sorted out the incident before and after Xun Rou's visit yesterday, and there were two other key figures, one was Mulan, Xun Rou's prescription was said to have been obtained from Mulan; The other one is the jade comb, which accepts and delivers essential oils, and she is the one who has passed the most along the way......
Huaxi turned her head and asked Yizhen: "Why did my aunt think of this marigold chrysanthemum oil yesterday and let the jade comb come to find it?" ”
Yi Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking about everything that happened yesterday, her memory was very vague, she only remembered the scattered fragments, and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Hey, look at my memory, I really can't remember what happened." I only remember that I seemed to smell the chrysanthemum fragrance somewhere, and then I remembered that I had smelled another special chrysanthemum, and after thinking about it, I forgot the name, but fortunately, the jade comb reminded me that I smelled it on your side, and I remembered. ”
"So the jade comb?" Huaxi lowered her head and muttered to herself twice the name of "Jade Comb", "Has the bottle she took from me ever passed through someone else's hand?" ”
Yizhen thought about it, and then shook his head, "There shouldn't be ...... Isn't it really a jade comb? Yizhen remembered that Huaxi had mentioned the strange behavior of Yushu on the way to Beiyuan, but after two or three accidents, she had to be a little suspicious of the personal maid who had followed her for so many years since she was a child.
"No, not necessarily. Since the three kings said that it was inconclusive, maybe the essential oil was not poisoned...... although Huaxi didn't say it, she concluded that Yu Comb must have something to do with this matter, "Xun Rou came to visit me and I didn't want to invite her into the hospital, but it just so happened that Yu Comb came to ask for essential oils, so I had to let both of them in." The jade comb is going to the essential oil first, Xun Rou is just looking for the same flavor, I can't believe her, so I said that I gave it to you, I think you will naturally understand what I mean when you listen to her, and I don't want you to be bumped into by her when you are using it...... The time before and after this is just right, and it brings you and me and Xun Rou together. ”
Huaxi said and spoke, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, could it be that the person who set up the trap not only wanted to frame her, but also wanted to pull Yizhen on her back? And so far, Susukino Sokai is the most likely person to frame himself.
Thinking of the words that Xun Rou wrote on the table in his courtyard before he died, Huaxi couldn't help but shudder, if it was really the hand that Susukino Sect had started, then his arrogance and uselessness were just a cover-up, he was the real ruthless
Yi Zhen frowned, "I'm afraid that this matter is not simple, the purpose is not you and me, but for my brother." ”
"I have already sent someone back to Tiandu to spread the word, my father is clear-minded, and I think I will deal with it as soon as possible." The strings of Huaxi's heart have long been tightened, and the west moon is surging towards the dark tide, no one knows when the yin fire buried in the light will be triggered, and whether the matter of Xun Rou and Yu Heng will be the fuse of this lead, often sometimes one thing will lead to a series of accidents. This is also one of the reasons why she asked Bai Lan to report the news.
The two were worried, Yizhen was worried about Huaxi, so she accompanied Huaxi back to her residence.
Huaxi sat under the window, clasped her hands, lying on the edge of the window, and Yizhen was drinking tea on the side.
Behind the house, the osmanthus tree has lost the appearance of the flowers when it came, and the damp soil under the tree is full of mottled and withered petals that have been knocked down by the rain, and the air is still filled with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
"Scattered into mud, the fragrance is the same......" Huaxi muttered to herself.
"Huaxi, Huaxi ......" Yizhen saw that her brows were deeply locked, and she called twice, and Huaxi came back to her senses and said "um".
Yi Zhen asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”
Huaxi looked out the window and said thoughtfully: "I'm wondering if I want to take a look at Yu Heng and Xun Rou, delaying time will make some things change......
"Look at Yu Heng, it's okay. But Xun Rou ......, "Yizhen is used to seeing big scenes again, but the person she knows suddenly dies, she is still a little afraid in her heart, "You are not a doctor, what's the use of going?" ”
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Although I don't know much about medical science, but the spices and medicinal materials are always coarse, and the aroma is invisible, you have to look at it with your nose and heart, and sometimes the smell can also reveal clues...... "Huaxi hesitated, she had never seen a dead person, after all, if she really wanted to see it, she didn't guarantee that she was determined enough; Besides, whether Susukino Zongqi will let her see it or not is another matter.
