He held Usu behind him and stretched out his hand, his slender fingers touching the dry branches and leaves of Qilixiang.

"What are you going to touch? I got it. He wrote on the back of Usu's hand.

Usu's fingertips trembled, and she grabbed Pei Jiuzhi's fingers with her backhand.

"When this flower changed strangely just now, there were a few drops of water on its branches and leaves, and it also shone."

- Actually, there has been no such change at all, but Usu said this, which can guide Pei Jiuzhi to focus on the water watering the flowers.

Pei Jiuzhi took out a jade bottle and took a few drops of water from the Qili incense branch and leaves.

These things can be sent to the Imperial City Division for investigation, and there are professional warlocks there to analyze its composition.

"Water, it's just water, maybe Jiang Ran doesn't know." Usu picked up the flower baskets scattered on the ground.

Pei Jiuzhi took a few more bouquets of flowers and put them in her basket, and he was about to go out to ask Jiang Ran about the situation.

Usu took his hand and said, "I'll go, Your Highness, you're so fierce to her." ”

Pei Jiuzhi sorted out this place, and when he heard Wu Su say this, he was a little aggrieved.

He gently wrote on the back of her hand, "I am not cruel to you. ”

"You will divide my face into three points, and you will not be fierce against others." Usu thought for a moment and said.

Pei Jiuzhi wrote on her hand: "No. ”

Confused, Usu asked, "Why?" ”

"That's all I can do to you." He continued to write.

Usu turned her head sideways and stared at her little highness, she was a little helpless.

"Your Highness is always like this." She said.

Pei Jiuzhi held her hand tightly, he thought, Usu is the same for everyone.

She was so gentle to him, and she was like this to Jiang Ran, or someone else.

Thinking so, he took her fingers and squeezed them between her fingers, interlocking them with her fingers.

Usu turned his head and quietly looked at his cold face, his gaze moving down, falling on their hands.

"Your Highness, I can't run." "My palms will sweat, and it won't be good if they get dirty later." ”

Indeed, as soon as she was nervous, her palms were dripping with sweat.

The sudden change in the Qili incense just now scared her a lot.

Not only that, Usu is also very aggrieved, she is not a human being, what is Qili Xiang doing at her?

"It's not dirty." Pei Jiuzhi wrote on the back of her hand.

Usu looked at him and blinked, and sure enough, her palms began to sweat.

After filling the two flower baskets to the brim, they walked out of the flower room.

In fact, Wu Su and Pei Jiuzhi didn't want to take so many flowers away, but if they took less, Jiang Ran would be uneasy.

When they walked out of the flower room, they saw Jiang Ran pushing a wooden wheelchair and leading her sister outside to bask in the sun.

Seeing them come out, Jiang Ran turned his head with a smile: "Big brother and big sister, have you picked it?" ”

"The flowers in my flower room are not bad, there are seven miles of incense in the damp place in the corner, have you picked it, this flower looks inconspicuous, but it is actually fragrant." Jiang Ran ran over and said.

Usu's gaze fell on the wheelchair she was pushing, and in it sat a girl with a very similar face to Jiang Ran, who was also as old as her.

"It's a twin sister." Jiang Ran ran back to push the wheelchair and said to them.

She pushed the wheelchair forward, and the wooden wheel, which had fallen into disrepair, squeaked to the ground.

Jiang Ran's sister sat in a wheelchair and smiled at them, she looked more shy than Jiang Ran.

"My sister has been unwell these days, I have taken care of her for a few days, and I only went out to sell flowers today, I didn't expect to meet you two wonderful people, I am so lucky!" Jiang Ran said with a smile.

Pei Jiuzhi transcribed everything Jiang Ran said to Wu Su, and Wu Su followed her topic and asked.

"Jiang Lan, where does the water for your watering flowers come from?" Usu asked.

She called Jiang Ran's name, but she still had an accent, Jiang Ran covered her lips and smiled.

"Big sister, you come with me." Jiang Ran put her sister aside and stopped, leading Usu to the corner of the small courtyard.

In the corner of the courtyard, there is a deep well, and the wellhead is full of coolness.

"It's all water here, but it's clean, you can drink it directly." Jiang Ran took a little water from the well and poured a cup for Usu.

Wu Su took it and was about to drink it, but Pei Jiuzhi stopped him and drank it cleanly by himself.

"Your Highness, I'm thirsty." Usu called him.

Pei Jiuzhi pinched the back of her hand, this water can't let her drink casually.

But he took care of Jiang Ran's emotions and drank it himself.

He said something for Jiang Ran.

"I'm thirstier." He said.

Jiang Ran felt that this big brother was a little bad, and he actually bullied this kind-hearted big sister like this.

Pei Jiuzhi asked, "Do you have any potions for flowers?" ”

"If there is something wrong with the flowers, I will use some." Jiang Ran thought that the big families were very cautious about the quality of flowers, so he immediately replied.

"Give me some potions." Pei Jiuzhi communicated with outsiders, and his tone was still stiff,

Jiang Ran immediately filled him with some of his usual anthers, put them in different vials, and handed them to him.

"In the future, I will send flowers to my house every day, just give them to Lord Xu." Pei Jiuzhi said.

They still left Jiang Ran's house for the time being, and walked not far from the courtyard, where the guards of the Imperial City Division were already waiting.

Pei Jiuzhi instructed them to keep an eye on them, protect them, and not scare the two sisters.

He believed what Wu Su said, the problem was the water for watering the flowers, but there was no problem with the well water that Jiang Ran usually watered the flowers.

Then the problem can only be other water.

In order to make the flowers look better, some flower farmers will add some potions to the flowers that promote growth or cure diseases.

Perhaps, something was wrong with the potions.

He led Usu on a white horse and led her to the Imperial City Division.

Today, Usu's situation is special, he can't hear anything, and he always has to take her with him to feel at ease.

Xiao Ning, the commander of the Imperial City Division, saw His Royal Highness Nine leading Wu Su together, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he didn't dare to show it.

He told Pei Jiuzhi the results of the search in the past few days, and they really didn't find the little girl with braids.

- Because Jiang Ran didn't go out to sell flowers at all a few days ago, and as soon as she came out today, she bumped into Pei Jiuzhi and Usu.

"All the florists in Yundu must be checked." Pei Jiuzhi placed the porcelain bottle he had collected the strange potion on the table along with the bottle containing the anthers.

"What is this?" Xiao Ning was puzzled.

"We met the little girl who sold flowers, and she didn't know about it, but there was something wrong with the flowers in her house, and I think it had something to do with the potion that cultivated the flowers."

"There are a lot of flower farmers in Yundu who use medicine, and the flowers they sell may be ...... There are problems. ”

Before Pei Jiuzhi could finish speaking, the Imperial City guards outside ran in and saluted.

"Your Highness the Nine, Commander Xiao, we found a corpse in the north of the city."

"It's the corpse of a flower farmer." The guard's tone tensed.

Except for the last time when the evil demon was in trouble, it has been a long time since there has been such a blatant murder in Yundu.

Usu felt the words written by His Royal Highness on the back of her hand, and she thought, the north of the city was still too far away, otherwise she might be able to sense that someone was dead there.

"When did you die?" After obtaining the information, Pei Jiuzhi came to the Imperial City Division almost immediately.

He didn't want someone to die because he was investigating too slowly.

"Three days ago, the summer corpse stinked, and the neighbors found out." The guard replied.

"How did you die?"

"...... The flower vines in his flower room were hanged to death. The guard's voice was horrified.

There is indeed a problem with flowers, either for plants or for ordinary people who smell flowers.

However, until the flowers are infected with evil spirits, they do not show any abnormalities on the surface.

For example, the one worn by Usu's sideburns, from beginning to end, it has not changed at all.

Come to think of it, the evil energy in the flowers will resonate with some negative emotions, causing such consequences.

As soon as Xiao Ning heard the guards' report, he knew that there was no problem with the information that Pei Jiuzhi brought back.

He hurriedly ordered someone to take the clues of the potion brought back by Pei Jiuzhi to investigate.

At the same time, he was going to order people to patrol the entire Yundu City, and no one was allowed to sell flowers anymore.

Pei Jiuzhi listened to his report and lazily lifted his eyelashes.

He casually took Usu's hand—he had been writing in the palm of her hand, passing on messages to her.

Now that he was talking, and he didn't need to write, he squeezed her hand and played.

Usu let him go.

He can do whatever he loves, anyway, he is shameless.

"It is forbidden for flower farmers to sell flowers, they have planted flowers for one season, what should I do?"

"The safety of the people in Yundu is more important."

"When the Imperial City Division gave the order, didn't you think about the consequences of such an act on the people?"

"Your Highness the Nine, can you ...... This is a necessary sacrifice in order to find out the truth. ”

"Sacrifice is sacrifice, but your Imperial City Division doesn't have a corresponding solution for this?"

"Recycle the flowers, or, give compensation."
