Chapter 140: Alone in the Empty Boudoir
Chapter 140 Alone in the Empty Boudoir
After sending the Lu family away, Yu Yu had the heart to think about something else on the way back to the hospital. Du Chuke sent a message in the afternoon, saying that the Criminal Department would not close the case until five days at the earliest, as for the Literature Museum, the Criminal Department was still sealed, and with her previous arrangement, the students who stayed outside the dormitory were all living in the nearby dormitory, and the Wei Wangfu was responsible for the expenses, plus her clever words in the morning, no one made trouble for the time being.
In the palace, she can't do much, and since Li Tai said that it is nothing, she only needs to take care of herself now. The key is to find out that the deceased were poisoned, what poison they were in, and how they were poisoned.
Before entering the palace, she soaked the things she brought out from the big study building in the potion, and explained the records of Pingtong Pinghui, and then went back to the courtyard, and did nothing else, so she went upstairs to check first.
At night, a few more lamps illuminate the room, she put on a plain robe and sat down in the pharmacy, while looking at the records of the two maids, while fiddling with a few small bowls with the hand wearing a snakeskin sleeve, this poison test potion is still a poison test prescription in the splendid poison roll, and the lack of several medicinal materials in the backyard happens to be available, and the popular method of silver needle drug detection can not be generalized, it can be seen by just looking at the color, and the effect is also strong.
There are many kinds of poisons that can cause sudden death, and Yu Yu examines the corpses and confirms that they are either poisoned by ingestion, and the rest are poisoned and gas. She also knows some of this kind of poison prescription, and the most powerful things are recorded on the splendid poison roll, just like a mixed medicine powder she had made when she robbed the prison - the seventh on the splendid poison roll, lost soul, it is a kind of poison, fire is the guide, the skin is poisoned, people are deeply hallucinated, no matter how high the martial arts are, they will become paralyzed, and it is difficult to wake up from a dream.
No matter how powerful it is, when she was separated from Xiao Fei in Kemo Town, she was given a small bottle of blood to seal her throat, the ninth on the splendid poison roll, stained with a trace of blood and rotting the flesh of the whole body, a real murderous weapon, extremely vicious, the only medicinal fruit in the Python Valley made that small point, it was the first time she really made the poison roll on the poison, if she trusted Xiao Fei as a person, she would not give her self-defense.
As for gas poison, it is through the smell, through the human respiratory organs to poison, ** is the most common gas poison, the jade is almost certain, last night those dead are a kind of unknown gas poison that can make people show a state of sudden death, late spring and early summer into the night is cool, mosquitoes infested, she asked Qi Zheng, the big library a while ago ignited the spice of mosquitoes, and checked the scene of the crime, from the first floor to the third floor are placed with incense burners, she has taken out a few small handfuls of incense ash to test.
"Master, have you noticed anything unusual?" Ping Tong knelt beside Yi Yu, and saw that she carefully checked the things soaked in the medicine bowl, and couldn't help but ask nervously, Yi Yu was not there in the afternoon, did they hear from Ping Xia that the two of them were examining the corpses in the big study building, thinking that before the case was closed, their master would have to deal with those corpses, so they felt that their scalp was numb, and they didn't know whether the prince knew about it or not.
Yi Yu shook his head, his face was not very good-looking, he used a silver chopstick to turn over a bowl of muddy mosquito coil foam, and added some medicinal powder into it, but there was no abnormality, indicating that this was just a preferred mosquito coil, and it was not mixed with any poison.
"You're tired all day today, so you might as well go and rest first, recuperate and wait until tomorrow morning to get busy." Seeing the sadness on her face, Pingtong persuaded with some distress, remembering that she cried until midnight in the master bedroom last night, and today people are not very idle to work outside for a day, and when she comes back, she is worried about this and that, and she sent her away with her spirits, and she sat in this pharmacy for an hour without even breathing, and she was really worried that she would fall ill.
Rubbing his tight eyebrows, Yi Yu's energy to relieve himself in the afternoon at Li Tai's place was almost used, his body was clear, thinking that there must be missing clues in the big library, and he needed to run again tomorrow, so he took off his gloves and said:
"Go get ready, I'll go to bed after the shower."
Li Tai doesn't like people to get close, it turns out that there are not many waiters in the Combing Pavilion, but because of the accommodation of the jade, there are not many people living in this jade courtyard, but there are more than a dozen maids and rough servants, half of which she brought from her mother's house.
The pool of the bath room is carved from white marble, through the fire of the ground to keep warm day and night, the hot water is ready-made, pour in one or two silver and a penny of the cinnamon sesame oil, the silver yarn hanging on the hot smoked door is fluttering, the stone slippery water is warm, it is most comfortable to soak in the pool at night, two palace glass lamps are hung in the north and south respectively, illuminating the pastel murals of large stone carvings on the north wall, the maids are waiting for her to wash and oil her hair in single clothes, and the jade is leaning on the edge of the pool with her head on the side of her head, half-squinting at the curling picture of the crane soaring clouds, Smell the elegant and fragrant fragrance of water.
Hazy and reminiscent of the summer hot day in childhood, sitting still can get tired of sweating days, the two young brothers came back with water after playing by the river, her mother boiled a large pot of hot water, and then used a leaky wooden basin for her to sit in, with a sweat towel to give her a single bath.
Thinking that at that time, the family was still worried about food and clothing, how could they have expected that they would live this glorious life today, but they only needed to think about their livelihood at the beginning, but they didn't have to participate in the intrigue and conspiracy of this big capital.
Pingtong Pinghui didn't know what she was thinking, and carefully served her to bathe and clean, so she couldn't avoid seeing her white jade mutton-like body, which was ravaged and left red marks and blue marks, Pingtong was okay, but she had a lot of complaints about the prince's unsympathy in her heart, and her face was not revealing anything, Pinghui's face was always red, but fortunately, Yuyu's thoughts were far away, and she didn't have time to think about these, otherwise she wouldn't let them serve if she didn't put aside her tender skin as usual.
On the side of the silver gallows, several kinds of balms and balms contained in sandalwood boxes were brought from Longquan Town, and the rare essence sent by the Wei Wangfu was mixed according to Mrs. Zhou's unique recipe, the taste was light and not sticky, and it was much easier to use than the lead powder given in the Heavenly Palace before yesterday.
After bathing, put on a set of moon-white silk underwear, Yu Yu rested on the bed, there was a silk book that Li Tai put on the bedside desk yesterday, she took it to look through, it was actually a book of soldiers, most of the volume had the annotations he added at the end of the paragraph, his right hand was very neat and neat, she was not very interested in the art of war, but she also looked at it with relish for a while, Pingtong squatted on the foot pedal to rub her legs, and after a while, she saw that she was still holding the book and did not plan to sleep, so she said helplessly:
"Just sleep, watch your eyes."
"Okay," Yi Yu was very persuading, closed the silk book and put it aside, and shrunk into the quilt, "You guys go to sleep too, come and wake up in the morning, don't let me oversleep." ”
Pingtong asked her what she wanted to eat tomorrow morning, and Tongping Hui checked the doors and windows, and thoughtfully left a white porcelain lotus oil lamp in the house, "The slaves and maids are resting outside, and you will call when you wake up at night." ”
There is a small room connected to the small hall outside the master bedroom, which is specially designed for the maid who keeps vigil to sleep, but the small room like the Wei Wangfu is mostly furnished, and Yu Yu is alone in the house tonight, and the two sisters are worried that she is not used to it at night, so they asked for instructions to make a bed in the small room.
"Well, go ahead."
I was still tired when I took a bath, I just read Li Tai's book, and as soon as the room was quiet, Yu Yu couldn't sleep a little, and looked at the roof with open eyes and filtered what happened today in his mind, especially the case in the big library, I didn't feel afraid in the big library during the day, and at night I remembered that the cold corpse in the pergola was a little creepy, and I shrank my head into the quilt.
I don't know how long later, with a depressed mutter, the quilt on the bed was lifted, she sat up again, swept around the dim inner room, landed on one place, stepped on her shoes and got out of bed.
On the second day, before the sky was bright, Pingtong led two little maids into the house with a basin and soap, gently pushed the door in, put down things, the little maid went to open the curtain and open the window, she walked to the side of the bed and rolled up half of the curtain, looked down and saw that the Yu Yu in the tent was sleeping comfortably on the side, relieved her heart, and was about to call her, Yu Guang saw a touch of blue in her arms pressed against her cheeks, not a futon face, she got closer and took a closer look, first covered her mouth and smiled, and then sighed helplessly, saying what she was holding in her arms, Isn't it the robe that the prince has been wearing in the house during the day these days?
"Master, master," squatting on the side of the bed and shaking the person lightly, listening to her hum and want to wake up, "you get up, it's time." ”
The newlyweds are only three days old to keep the empty boudoir, I don't know if it is the first one in Chang'an City this year, Yiyu sat at the head of the bed to rinse the tooth powder, took the handkerchief handed by Pinghui and wiped it on the face a few times, felt that it was not refreshing enough, so he asked the maid to make a basin of cold water, and Pingtong hurriedly persuaded "can't do it, can't do it", and washed a few handfuls of cold water with a basin, Fang felt sober-minded.
On the day of the wedding, it is a feast of delicacies and seafood, there are a lot of good ingredients, the chef of the Jade Courtyard is Li Tai in the south, the meal is slightly sweet, very suitable for the taste of the jade, it was explained by Pinghui, and the sea crab was steamed in the morning, and the two drawers of crab citrine buns were steamed in the morning, and the Lingshi ear was accompanied by crispy almonds and put on a plate of refreshing side dishes, accompanied by a plate of preserved meat marinated in honey, and the petals sent by the Hibiscus Garden hit the glutinous porridge made of fragrant rice.
"This stone ear is good, the bamboo inside and outside the yard is easy to take care of, and after a few days, I picked summer bamboo shoots and ate them with cold salad, and the prince thought he would like it." Yi Yu put down the chopstick, looked sideways at the verdant outside the window, Li Tai's appetite is not good in the summer, the three meals are a scene, if the food is not to the liking, she does not doubt that this person can go hungry and not move the chopsticks.
Pinghui nodded in response, and when she saw her drinking porridge, she suddenly frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Hot?" ”
Yi Yu put down the bowl, shook his head and complained to himself, "When I entered the palace yesterday, I forgot to ask those subordinates to prepare plum soup and herbal tea for the prince to drink in the morning and afternoon, and the lunch should not be too greasy, mutton can not be touched, and some vegetarian dishes should be eaten, hiss, all the hot food in the palace yesterday was placed, and he didn't know if he ate it well last night, at this time."
Pingtong Pinghui listened to her nagging and didn't finish, she looked at each other, laughing and worried, afraid that if she continued to talk about it, the porridge would be cold, so she coaxed, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would go to the Literature Museum today, you go out early, don't let the sun come out and it should be hot again." ”
Only then did Yi Yu stop chattering, concentrate on drinking the porridge, this room was cleaned up, and before he reached the bridge, there was a maid in front of him, Du Chuke and Qi Zheng were waiting in the front hall.
