Chapter 21: Heart-to-Heart

No wonder she felt in a trance that something was not quite right with that pill, but it was missing the strange fragrance.

So when Liu Shiran really found out the source of the poison, he called Lu Fu.

Lu Fu carefully wrapped the source of the poison and said, "Li Zhutou is still in the Yamen?" ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "In the past few days, Li Zhutou has been looking for some new clues outside, and it was dark just now, so he went out again." ”

Lu Fu bowed her head and glanced at Liu Shiran, who was sitting silently. He's really, he's indifferent to everything except the autopsy.

After gathering her mind, Lu Fu kindly mentioned: "When Li Zhutou comes back, let him check where Zhao Yulian and Miao Xiang have been before." ”

Wang Hao frowned, Zhao Yulian is Miss Shen, Miao Xiang is the daughter of a farmer, one rarely shows up, and the other is a companion with Tian every day. He really hadn't thought about going to find out what they had done before.

"What did Miss Green Lady notice?" Wang Hao asked.

Lu Fu smiled lightly, but said: "What ingredients are mixed with the poison source, I have to go back to the house to study it carefully." But now it's almost certain that there's one thing in it. ”

narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, and almost without thinking, he spit out those three words, "Lianxinhua." ”

Back at the palace, Mu Chen recalled the scene just now, Lu Fu's determined and confident appearance, a pair of water eyes shining brightly, as dazzling as the stars.

It's just that he is a little distressed, how can such a delicate woman have such a keen sense of poison?

At night, Green Fu came over with his clothes and changed them for him.

Mu Chen stretched out his arms and looked at her plain little face with a calm expression, thinking that he was used to serving him like this.

The small, boneless hand occasionally touched his body, like a feather, tickling his heart.

Strange, when Zimeng served him before, he had never felt this way.

Lowering her eyes, Mu Chen looked at her hand carefully, it was thin and white, small but not thin, and her skin was very smooth and tender, and it was very textured.

Mu Chen couldn't help but speak: "Your hand looks like a rich lady." ”

It's a shame to come and serve him. However, the first-class maid in the palace did not do any menial work, but only served him to eat and sleep.

But Mu Chen still felt a little sorry, and he was reluctant to use these hands to serve others. Now that Lu Fu is serving him, Mu Chen is not so reluctant in his heart, but enjoys it a little.

Lu Fu smiled: "The prince said that he was laughing. ”

Mu Chen didn't say any more.

It was windy at night, and Lu Fu closed the window and lit the incense again, and there was a faint fragrance wafting through the whole room.

This is a kind of fragrance of flower dew, and Green Fu has been looking for a long time to find such a piece of fragrance.

And the fragrance on Mu Chen's dress is even rarer.

But Green Leaf wasn't going to ask.

He cherished the garment so much, but only touched it when he fell asleep. It can be seen that this dress has a special meaning for Muchen.

And this kind of meaning, except for Mu Chen, outsiders cannot know and cannot know.

Since he didn't mention it, then Green Fu didn't ask.

Suddenly, Lu Fu remembered the pot of heart-knotting flowers again, and a trace of strangeness slipped through her heart, so she pretended to have no intention of mentioning it, turned around and said: "Lord, what kind of flower did you say last time that is similar to the fragrance of the heart-ending flower, what is it called?" ”

Mu Chen snorted disdainfully and said, "How does this king know? It's just that when I went to the temple to pray for blessings, I smelled it by chance. ”

At that time, it was only with Zimeng that I learned that there was such a flower similar to the heart-knotting flower. Just because the fragrance was more pleasing than the knotted flower, he wrote it down. As for what it was called, he had long forgotten.

Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Do you think that plant is called Lianxin Flower?" ”

She just talked to Wang Hao when she was in the yamen.

The poison that caused the sudden death of more than a dozen women?

The corners of her mouth were raised, and she turned to cover the incense burner tightly, then took out the silk cloth from her sleeve and carefully spread it out on the table.

Mu Chen silently watched her complete this series of actions.

Lu Fu said: "The prince invited me to come and see." ”

As soon as the white silk cloth was lifted, a strange fragrance was revealed. Because the window had long been closed, and the incense burner no longer wafted the scent of flowers, the smell gradually became stronger.

This taste is non-toxic, what is poisonous is the pill itself. Fragrance is just a means for it to hide people's ears.

Mu Chen walked over and sniffed a few times.

"How?" Green Fu asked.

"It's a little similar to the Lianxin flower you said, but it's not the same." After a long time, Mu Chen was not sure if this was the taste of Lian Xinhua.

The heart flower is sweet and greasy, and the heart flower is similar to it, but it is always different, it lacks the sweetness that makes people nostalgic, but it is lighter, and it is refreshing and sweet with some fruit.

"The more toxic it is, the more mixed the ingredients are – and of course the more mixed it is, the better. Poisons and poisons also contain each other, or complement each other. Even the heart flower is not poisonous, if it is poisonous, I think Zimeng will not let the prince get close. In this pill, it is only a shield, and the toxicity of covering it is not easy for people to notice. And behind this smell, what is hidden is the real poison.

As for the reason why the prince thinks that this fragrance is similar to the heart flower, but it is different, it is also the same. Lianxin flower is mixed with other things, so the fragrance is not pure. What's more, it has been in Qiao'er's womb for several days.

At the moment, I can't tell what kind of poison it contains, but the person who made the poison has added this flower to it, so we can search for this flower and find clues about that person. ”

This is, first and foremost, a little bit of hope.

She said so happily that she didn't notice Mu Chen's reaction at all.

This idea also came to her just now. A strong sense of familiarity enveloped her heart, and it felt very warm.

These words blurted out almost without thinking.

It turns out that she used to be such a person? Was she ever proud of poison?

Mu Chen listened to her quietly, and his slender fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a "knock knock" sound. A pair of ink eyes are slightly deep, as deep as a piece of seawater.

After a while, he said slowly: "The last time I saw Lianxinhua was in Juqing Temple in Hengling, and that temple was built on top of the mountains. ”

The heart flower is a strange flower of Nanzhao, which is very difficult to find. Not to mention that the flower traces are difficult to find, even if they are found, they must be among the dangerous peaks of Naqi Mountain. That's why Nanzhao took it as a tribute and dedicated it to Xiahou Ziyuan.

This is the same for the heart flower, naturally. It's just that its fame has been suppressed by the knotted flower.

If you want to find this lianxin flower, you have to go to the deep mountains of Hengling.

Lu Fu originally thought that Mu Chen had no temperament to listen to her say this. But Mu Chen listened carefully and told Lian Xinhua's whereabouts.

A warm current suddenly surged in his heart, and looking at Mu Chen's eyes, they softened a little.

Early the next morning, Lu Fu went to the yamen.

Li Zhutou has returned. I searched overnight last night, and now I finally have some clues, and I don't know if it will help me solve the case, so I hurriedly came back to tell Wang Hao.

At first, Lu Fu was still worried, because the clues she provided could not be passed on to Li Zhutou in time, and the progress was delayed for some time.

Unexpectedly, the news that Li Zhutou brought back was what she wanted.
