"Lord Jing, are you okay?"

Shangguan Qingyue finally regained her senses, so she hurriedly ran to the front of the concubine and looked down at him, and asked.

What are you kidding, he doesn't want her to play chess with him if he's not tired? But now she just wants to sleep, she wants to sleep!

"What, there's a problem?" Qu Jinglan looked up at her quite calmly.

"Yes!" Shangguan Qingyue nodded hurriedly.

"Bear with me."

“……”

Qu Jinglan, your uncle! Is there any end to it?

"Best of three games." Qu Jinglan suddenly smiled slightly, ignoring her expression of being about to eat people, "The loser has to wash the feet of the winner." ”

"Good!"

Shangguan Qingyue slapped the table on the bed, and simply gritted his teeth and let it go! With her modern chess skills, she is guaranteed to kill him in a few moments!

The most important thing is that after playing chess, at least you can bomb him away and let her stop sleeping.

"Let's get started."

"Hmm."

In the blink of an eye, Dan saw that the chess pieces of the two were entangled together on the chessboard. Half an hour later, two sets had passed in succession.

What surprised Shangguan Qingyue even more was that he thought he could easily defeat him, but he didn't expect that they would be tied in these two sets!

You must know that in addition to medical skills, her greatest interest is to play chess, especially to study all kinds of difficult chess games, otherwise she would not have traveled here because she broke the eternal mystery of Kuidou Tianyuan.

And Qu Jinglan, as an ancient person, was able to tie with herself, which was much beyond her expectations!

"Come again!"

Shangguan Qingyue was aroused, and the original drowsiness was naturally reduced by half, so he picked up the chess pieces and started the third game.

Before you know it, it's the second half of the night. Shangguan Qingyue and Qu Jinglan sat on the side alone and played chess for half a night!

"Now, Lord Wang, you still lose." Shangguan Qingyue dropped the last one and said with a smile. In the end, she narrowly escaped victory by a single child.

"Yes."

Qu Jinglan never seems to be so happy, how long has it been? There is no one who can play chess with him so heartily.

Even though he had seen her compete with Wei Xueyao and others at Moxiang Tea House last time, many of the tactics tonight had never been seen before, and at the same time, he was also very puzzled, how did she learn it, and who did she learn it from?

"This king is willing to admit defeat."

Qu Jinglan stood up and made a gesture to go out.

"Heh, Lord Jing will go slowly and don't send it off, goodbye, goodbye!" Is he finally leaving? That's great.

Shangguan Qingyue unconsciously stretched. After sitting motionless for several hours, my waist began to ache.

"This king is going to fetch water......" Qu Jinglan turned his head and said in a light tone.

“…… Draw water? What? Shangguan Qingyue looked at his back a little blankly.

"Wash your feet."

"Washing your feet?" Shangguan Qingyue's arm holding down the cervical spine froze on the spot. What, he said he was going to wash her feet?

Yes, at first he did seem to say that he would come, but at that time she only agreed to drive him away as soon as possible, and she didn't think about whether to wash his feet or not, but......

Seeing this, Shangguan Qingyue immediately jumped off the concubine's collapse, grabbed Qu Jinglan's sleeve and said, "That, Lord Jing, it's too late today, how dare you pay you back?" The prince must have been joking just now, I didn't take it seriously! ”

God, she's never encountered this kind of divine operation in her life.

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase, and this king says the same." Qu Jinglan said, turned around and walked out. left Shangguan Qingyue, who had to hold his forehead and lament.

Shangguan Qingyue, Shangguan Qingyue, who made your head hot!

Not long after, Qu Jinglan actually walked up to her with a wooden basin and put it at her feet.

"Hey!" Without waiting for Shangguan Qingyue to speak, I saw Qu Jinglan pull up a pair of her jade feet, take off her socks neatly, and then put them in a wooden basin.

The water is lukewarm, neither cold nor hot. Qu Jinglan didn't say anything, just gently stroked the water with both hands, and at the same time massaged several acupuncture points on her feet.

Shangguan Qingyue sat in front of the couch and shook her head helplessly. So he leaned his elbow against the table in front of the chaise longue, and held up his cheeks to look at the top of Qu Jinglan's head.

She suddenly felt that if she waited until she was old and couldn't walk, it would be really a very happy thing to have such someone wash her feet, right?

Think about it, no matter what era a woman is, in fact, who doesn't want to be accompanied by a good man? But these are things that she can't expect or think about at the moment.

"Alright."

Qu Jinglan looked up, but found that Shangguan Qingyue had fallen asleep with his chin propped up. Also, it's the middle of the night now, and I should have been tired of playing chess with him for so long.

Quietly picked her up, put her on the bed, and covered her with a thin quilt. It's just that in the next second, he was turned over and kicked away by Shangguan Qingyue in his sleep. Well, isn't she worried about falling out of bed and catching a cold?

picked up the quilt again to help her cover it, and Qu Jinglan also sat down on the outside of the bed with her back against the bedpost, blocking her in the bed.

Seeing her somewhat indecent and innocent sleeping face, he secretly thought to himself that the person who was going to kill her was injured, even if he didn't come tonight, it was hard to guarantee when he would come in the future, so it seemed that he had to think of some way to deal with it.

The next day, early in the morning.

Shangguan Qingyue woke up faintly. Suddenly, he sat up as if he remembered something. She...... By the way, wasn't Qu Jinglan washing her feet last night? Why did you fall asleep? So, he picked himself up, right?

Shangguan Qingyue shook her head, and seemed to feel a little groggy. Yesterday, I encountered so many things one after another, and when I came back, I played half a night chess with Qu Jinglan, hey, if it goes on like this, it will really bring her down, and I can't help but let her sleep well!

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you sad? With the sound of the door, Hong Si had already brought in the washing water and began to wait for Shangguan Qingyue to wash.

"Don't mention it." Shangguan Qingyue raised her head, glanced at the smiling Hongsi from the bronze mirror, and began to comb her hair with a comb indignantly, "It's all tears when you talk too much." ”

"How so?" Hong Si took the comb from Shangguan Qingyue's hand and gently began to groom her black hair little by little.

"Second Miss, Lord Jing really loves you." Hong Si combed her hair and said with a wicked smile, "Just now when he left, he ordered him to come over and ask me to come back later to wait for the second lady to get up!" ”

“...... Ah, what do you say? Shangguan Qingyue turned his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief, "Prince Jing just left?" ”

"That's right." Hong Si nodded inexplicably, "Second Miss was still asleep at that time, I obviously saw King Jing coming out of the room, and he still said......"

"What else?"

Shangguan Qingyue's face gradually turned dark. Dare to love that guy who stayed in her room all night? So where did he sleep, chaise long? But I looked sideways slightly and looked at the clean and tidy state on the couch, it didn't look like I had slept at all, could it be ...... The bed he slept in too?!

The prince also said...... Second Miss, you were too ...... last night I'm too excited, so I'm tired......" In the end, even Hong Si's face turned a little embarrassed.

"Excited, excited, excited!"

The corners of Shangguan Qingyue's mouth twitched, and he scolded indignantly. He must be referring to last night's chess game, right?

However, Hongsi didn't know it, and it was reasonable for him to think crookedly.

What does this arrogant and black-bellied uncle mean?

"Hongsi, don't make a public announcement about this matter." Shangguan Qingyue had his own considerations, so he immediately instructed.

"Why? Isn't it good for the second lady to be a princess? Hong Si thought that her young lady could finally get together with Prince Jing, and she was secretly happy for her, but the second miss was ......

"No, just remember." Shangguan Qingyue directly stopped her words, lowered her eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Hongsi, let's hurry up and finish cleaning up, let's go to Mingyou Pavilion." ”

Sun Zhengyuan's house has been destroyed, and Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing will naturally take care of the aftermath. However, except for the "sugar cake" information revealed by the merchant who died at the end, all other clues seem to have been interrupted for the time being.

And now the tricky thing is to find out the last unknown toxin, and maybe from this toxin, they will find other important clues!

There are many books on medicine and poison in the Mingyou Pavilion, all of which were left by the predecessor's mother before her death. Time is pressing, and for me, with a book library, I can only take fewer detours.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is noon.

In the Mingyou Pavilion, Shangguan Qingyue was still intently looking at her mother's herb notes.

I didn't take much time to carefully check it before, but after some sorting it out today, I found that almost 90% of the books were handwritten by him!

Looking at a large bookcase full of books, this ...... How much time and hard work it takes!

However, not counting some pathologies and treatments, there are no less than six or seven hundred kinds of poisons recorded in books! And until this moment, Shangguan Qingyue has only looked at more than 20 kinds carefully, and if he rummages them all, it is indeed a long way to go.

Rubbing his neck, which was a little stiff, Shangguan Qingyue raised his head and checked the poison and the note with six toxins that Zhongli Junqing had brought back by the way during the autopsy in the Criminal Department, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Flower-tailed poisonous wasps, yellow sac spiders, cryptopteras, red scorpions, mandalas, poinsettias."

Yes, the first four are more poisonous insects and animals, while the last two are plants. From these six species, we can know that they are all relatively common things.

And as for the last one...... Shangguan Qingyue carefully used a silver needle to repeatedly test the poison components that had turned black, which was quite strange. Just because of this, it seems to be something that seems to be nothing, like poison and not poisonous, what kind of thing is this?

Other than that, she always felt like something was wrong? But what's wrong?

"Second Miss, let's rest, it's almost noon, let's try the jade fu cake first!"

When Hong Si entered the door, he happened to see Shangguan Qingyue lying in front of the table, staring at the note and holding a silver needle in contemplation, so he couldn't help but beckon.

"Oh." In response, she still didn't take her eyes off the note.

"Second Miss, the method of this jade fufu cake is improved by Hongsi!" Hong Si said as she put the pastry into a small plate and handed it to him, "The taste is much softer this time, and the aroma is stronger, Miss Two, try it while it's hot......"

"Heh, thank you for your hard work." Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyue finally put down the note, picked up the jade cake casually, and sent it to his mouth.

However, when she was about to eat it, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind because of what Hong Sigang said.

yes, why didn't she notice just now? How stupid!

No wonder she always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that this was the problem!
