Chapter 297: A Strange Fragrance
"What has Xiaoice been doing during this time?" Chu Shan'er didn't answer the question of Zhiyi, but just asked lightly.
"In addition to tinkering in the kitchen, Xiaoice is teaching Ah Qiang to read and write, but there is nothing to do." Zhiyi said: "Even when the prince came to us, she never appeared. ”
"Mo Jinghuan has been here for a few times, every time she has a temper, and it's normal for her not to come out." Chu Shan'er said: "Let's go, let's go to her room to have a look." ”
"Yes, Princess." Zhiyi pursed his lips, although he felt that it was not good to enter Xiaoice's room like this, but this was the royal mansion, Mo said that it was just to go in and have a look, that is, to search the bottom of the sky.
"Hey, her room is locked." When Zhiyi stepped forward to push the door, he found that there was a lock on the door.
"Princess." Qiu'er happened to pass by here and saluted Chu Shan'er's blessing.
"Qiu'er, you came just in time, why is Xiaoice'er's room locked?" Zhiyi asked lightly.
"A few days ago, Xiaoice lost something in the house, and her speech was a little ugly, and then the slave scolded her a few words, saying that if she didn't believe us, she would lock it up directly." Qiu'er was quite angry when she said this, pouting and saying, "I didn't expect her to really get a lock." ”
"Huh? A burglar in our yard? Why hasn't anyone ever mentioned it? Chu Shan'er frowned slightly, and asked lightly.
"It's just that Xiaoice lost something in the house, and I don't know if it's true or not, so the slave didn't tell the third brother about it." Qiu'er said, "Didn't she say it herself Xiaoice?" The slave looked at her angrily and anxiously, and thought that she had lost something important! ”
"Qiu'er, you seem to have a big opinion of Xiaoice, how can you speak with thorns in every word?" Zhiyi looked at Qiu'er a little helplessly and said, "Didn't you still squeeze a room before?" Didn't you help when she was punished and injured? ”
"That's all in the past." Qiu'er bit her lip and looked at Chu Shan'er and Zhiyi: "Princess, Sister Zhiyi, if I say that Xiaoice is not as good as it seems on the surface, will you believe it?" ”
"The slave really didn't want to say bad things about Xiaoice'er, but ......" Qiu'er looked at Chu Shan'er's face a little ugly, pursed her lips and closed her mouth, swallowing back the words behind her.
"Princess, the slave and maid still have to do things, so they will retire first." Qiu'er saluted Chu Shan'er and retreated.
"Princess, Qiu'er has always had clear grievances and straightforwardness, you ......"
"Qiu'er is the person brought by the princess from the house, and her character and her character are known to the princess." Chu Shan'er waved her hand and said, "If it weren't for Xiaoice'er doing too much, Qiu'er would definitely not say that she wasn't." ”
Zhiyi nodded on the side, it is indeed so.
It seems that Xiaoice still has a lot of things that they don't understand.
"Then Princess, shall we go in again?" Zhiyi looked at the lock and said, "If it is forcibly opened, Xiaoice will know when she comes back." ”
"Don't worry, she won't know." Chu Shan'er said lightly: "Even if you know, what? There is no place in the Anwang Mansion where the princess can't go. ”
"Yes, the slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will find someone to pick the lock." Zhiyi whispered, turned around and was about to leave.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble." Chu Shan'er grabbed Zhiyi, pulled off the hairpin on her head casually, and unlocked it with a twist of her wrist under her surprised gaze.
Zhiyi opened his mouth wide and looked at Chu Shan'er, how did he feel that he was following a fake master!
"This princess is amazing! I didn't expect the lockpicking that I learned when I went out to play before will come in handy today. Chu Shan'er looked at the shock on Zhiyi's face and replied casually.
"Princess, is this what the second lady asked you to learn?" Zhiyi immediately thought of Chu Yue, pursed his lips and asked.
"How can it! But it's pretty much the same. Chu Shan'er said: "Let's go!" Go in first. ”
"Yes, Princess." Zhiyi looked at Chu Shan'er distressedly, this was not with a fake master, but the master was taken badly.
"Princess, do you smell anything?" As soon as Zhiyi walked to Xiaoice's bedside, he asked softly.
"Scent? It's light. Chu Shan'er looked at Zhiyi keenly and asked, "Did you smell this smell before you fainted?" ”
"Like, but the one the slave smells is lighter." Zhiyi said softly: "And the slave lost consciousness after smelling this smell before, but now the person is still very conscious." ”
"Princess, could it be just spices that taste similar?" Zhiyi searched along the ground with the strongest smell, and found a small bottle at the bottom of Xiaoice's bed near the head of the bed.
It's just that the mouth of the bottle is not sealed properly, leaving a trace of sewing there, so the fragrance overflows.
"Princess, this is it." Zhiyi took the thing to Chu Shan'er and said, "Princess, this looks like it was used in a hurry, and the lid was not even done." ”
Chu Shan'er took it and sniffed it, and also took out a little bit of her nails, except that the aroma was more intense, there was no abnormality, is it really an ordinary spice?
"Princess, what are you doing?" Zhiyi saw that Chu Shan'er didn't know where to touch a small bottle and put a little spice into it, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I always feel that something is wrong with this thing, so I put some on it and take it away." Chu Shan'er replied lightly, and gave the remaining spices to Zhiyi: "Cover it like it was and put it back in place." ”
"Yes, Princess." Zhiyi carefully lowered the position and put the bottle back under the bed.
Chu Shan'er walked around Xiaoice'er's room and found nothing abnormal.
"Princess, what do you think it is?" Zhiyi suddenly pointed to the flower pot by the window and said, "That thing is still shining." ”
Chu Shan'er turned her head to look, and a ray of sunlight fell through the window into the flower pot, and the light was reflected by the thing inside, and only then was Zhiyi discovered the small thing inside.
"Princess, this seems to be a decoration on clothes." Zhiyi picked up the thing and looked at it, it looked like a gold wire buckle.
Chu Shan'er looked at the thing in Zhiyi's hand, her brows furrowed slightly, she had really seen this thing!
And not so long ago!
"Princess?" Zhiyi called softly.
"Put it back!" Chu Shan'er said lightly.
"Yes, Princess."
"Let's get out!" Chu Shan'er said lightly, raised her feet and walked out.
"Princess, shall we not take a look again?" Zhiyi glanced at Xiaoice's room, and it seemed that there was nothing to see, at a glance.
"No need, this princess has already roughly guessed why she left the house." Chu Shan'er said in a deep voice: "You go and call Liangle over, just say that this princess has something to order." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Zhiyi blessed his body, and hurriedly walked out.
After Chu Shan'er locked Xiaoice'er's door, she also left here and returned to her yard.
"You guys come out." After Chu Shan'er dismissed the people in the courtyard, she said something to the empty courtyard.
In the next second, several figures appeared in front of her in unison.
"What does the princess command?" The secret guards stood in front of Chu Shan'er and bowed.
"That's how you protect this princess? You don't know that there are people in the Stillwater Pavilion? Chu Shan'er's expression sank, and she asked in a cold voice.
The secret guards looked at each other, the three of them had been guarding the Jingshui Pavilion, and they didn't see anyone coming in, of course, except for Ah Ji last night.
"The princess forgives her sins, the villain doesn't know what the princess means!" The Dark Guard asked in a low voice.
