Chapter Eighty-Eight: Acting
After walking for about half an hour, Mei Rou and Xiaolongnu came to the bamboo house on the outskirts of the palace.
The little dragon girl knocked on the bamboo door and shouted, "Old sir, old sir......"
After a while, the bamboo door did not open, and Mei Rou felt strange, so she pushed the door in.
What caught my eye was an old man in his seventies and eighties, dead in front of a rectangular black table. His body fell on the bamboo chair in front of the table, his body lying on the table, his body was bloodless, and his complexion was normal. When he died, he held a rouge box in his left hand and a white porcelain vase in his right hand, and his eyes bulged out, as if caused by extreme fear in his heart before he died.
The little dragon girl shook the old man's body and shouted anxiously, "Old man, wake up." Wake up, old sir. I'm going to buy rouge from you. β
Mei Rou pulled out the porcelain bottle that the old man was holding tightly in his right hand, and after smelling it, she found that it was also "drunken concubine incense" rouge, but it didn't give her a little bit of excitement.
On the long black table are various rouge boxes and porcelain vases containing rouge powder. The smell of rouge in the bamboo house was very strong, and Mei Rou and the little dragon girl had no signs of poisoning, and then looked at the old man's bloodless body but his eyes bulged out and his mouth was wide open.
Mei Rou smelled all the rouge boxes and porcelain bottles on the table, but still didn't find the kind of "drunken concubine incense" that Qiuyu bought a few days ago.
When he was puzzled, a sweet woman's voice came from outside the bamboo door: "Old man, you have to give me five boxes of "Drunken Concubine Incense" today. Before he could finish speaking, a woman covered in fat powder walked in with a slender waist shaking.
The woman looks like a girl, she is petite, but she is convex and backward, her bare legs are exposed, her clothes are exposed, and she is full of the atmosphere of a young and beautiful girl.
Mei Rou fixed her eyes and saw that this woman turned out to be a white rabbit spirit who had just transformed into a human form.
"Ahh
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the White Rabbit hurriedly begged for mercy: "Demon Princess! I didn't do anything bad! Please let me go!"
Mei Rou saw that this white rabbit had only practiced for a hundred years, and what she said was not false, but in order to find the truth, she deliberately lied: "Bold! You must have scared this old man to death." I'm going to take you back to punish. β
The White Rabbit Essence cried and defended: "It's not me!
Mei Rou shouted: "Don't tell the truth!
The White Rabbit Spirit hurriedly said, "I said, I said, I only have a trading relationship with this old man. For the past month, I have come here to make rouge with him during the day and sleep with him at night, and he has given me some rouge every day as a reward. He was still alive and well with me last night. I just came here today, and he died. However, his death has nothing to do with me. After speaking, she looked at Mei Rou with a pair of sincere eyes.
The white rabbit spirit wiped her tears with her left hand, and her expression became calm, but she was still nervous and drumming in her heart, hoping that Mei Rou would believe it and let her go. However, the stronger her mental activity, the more she can't escape the peeping technique, and the easier it is to expose what she wants to hide.
I only heard Mei Rou sneer: "It seems that if you are not locked in a dungeon and tortured, you will not tell the truth." After saying that, he was about to pull her away.
The White Rabbit Spirit hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't!" Actually, I don't like this old man either, it was the snake fairy who threatened me to do this. If I don't, she's going to eat me. β
Mei Rou asked, "Which snake immortal looks like?"
The White Rabbit said: "It's a woman." She was dressed in an emerald green dress, had a beautiful smile and a sweet voice. β
Mei Rou said suspiciously: "Is she called Snake Jiaojiao?"
White Rabbit said: "I don't know if she is called 'Snake Jiaojiao', I only know that a white-robed old Taoist who accompanied her called her 'Snake Daxian'." β
Mei Rou deduced that the white-robed old Taoist that the white rabbit spirit said was the "Holy Hand Old Man" Hao Yishe, and immediately verified: "That white-robed old Taoist can know medical skills?"
White Rabbit Jing said: "There are a lot of medicine bottles in his arms, he should be good at medicine." However, this old man is just as restless as this old man. β
Mei Rou said: "Isn't it also?"
The White Rabbit Spirit nodded and said, "When he came to me that time, he stared at my chest for a long time. β
Mei Rou's doubts in her heart were slightly resolved, and she continued to ask: "That white-robed old Taoist is called Hao Yishe?"
The White Rabbit Spirit nodded and said, "That's what the Snake Immortal called him." β
Mei Rou let out an "um" and said, "That's right." The snake fairy you are talking about is the snake Jiaojiao. But why doesn't she seduce the old man herself, but instead wants to go through you?"
The white rabbit spirit suddenly "giggled" and laughed: "This old man likes young beautiful girls, delicate people like me." Snake Jiaojiao belongs to the mature type, and besides, she is not willing to accompany the old man to do rouge. If I hadn't been threatened by her, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with this old man. β
Mei Rou had a rough inference about the origin of the problematic 'Drunken Concubine Xiang', so she asked the White Rabbit Spirit: "What is Hao Yishe looking for you?"
White Rabbit Jing said: "He gave me a red medicine bottle and told me to put the medicine powder in the 'Drunken Concubine Incense'. β
Mei Rou said: "Do you still have the red medicine bottle?"
The white rabbit spirit shook his head and said, "He only gave me a small bottle, and I followed his instructions that day, and all of them went down to the 'Drunken Concubine Incense'." Not anymore. β
Mei Rou sneered: "You lie, you still have it on you, you want to keep it for yourself and use it secretly." β
The White Rabbit said: "I really don't have it anymore." She handed the small yellow cloth bag she was carrying with her to Mei Rou.
Mei Rou spread out the small cloth bag and found that there was really nothing in it, so she turned her mind, and her left hand quickly ripped off the white cloth strip wrapped in the white rabbit essence, and at the same time, her right hand had already stretched out to support the two red medicine bottles that fell from the chest of the white rabbit essence.
The white rabbit spirit covered her bare chest, her eyes stared straight at Mei Rou, and she said in a daze: "Demon Princess, how do you know that I hid them here?"
Mei Rou snorted coldly and said, "You only have a pair of hot shorts and a strip of cloth all over your body." Wear so little, don't you hide them on top, do you hide them underneath with leg clips?"
Mei Rou opened the two red medicine bottles in turn, and after smelling them, she found that the white powder in them did not have any fragrance or medicinal smell, but it was light and tasteless, but she felt a sense of excitement. Afraid of being stunned, Mei Rou hurriedly closed the bottle cap and asked, "Why are you hiding them?"
The white rabbit spirit had to explain honestly: "The medicinal powder that Hao Yishe gave me is made of pollen, which can be eaten, it tastes very sweet, and it can also make me hallucinate after eating, so I hid it privately." β
Mei Rou said: "When you added the medicinal powder, did the old man see it?"
The White Rabbit said: "Of course I saw it, but he won't say anything, because he was also invited by Snake Jiaojiao and Hao Yishe." At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth in shock and said, "He's been killed?!Isn't that also dangerous for me?"
Mei Rou said slowly: "The old man should have been scared to death, maybe he was scared to death when he saw the original form of a certain demon beast." You are a white rabbit spirit, so you are also suspected of committing a crime. I've got to put you in a dungeon first. β
The White Rabbit Spirit hurriedly explained: "This is not the case. This old man loved to see me in my original form, and he fed me turnips. It certainly wasn't me who scared him to death. β
Mei Rou said: "But you have a close relationship with him, and you are still suspicious, I will temporarily lock you in my dungeon, which can be regarded as protecting you, lest Snake Jiaojiao and Hao Yishe find you to kill you." β
The White Rabbit Spirit sighed, "Okay. So, Mei Rou took her to a cell in the basement of the Ten Thousand Demon King's Palace and imprisoned her.
Mei Rou suspects Biyue of colluding with Snake Jiaojiao, so she starts looking for evidence. ββOn the way to the palace dungeon, Mei Rou told the White Rabbit Spirit about Biyue's physical characteristics, and asked the White Rabbit Spirit if she had seen Biyue, and the White Rabbit Spirit said no.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Mei Rou secretly summoned Fu Huahong and gave her the medicinal powder in the red medicine bottle to test.
After Fu Huahong found out that the problematic "Drunken Concubine Xiang" had side effects of slippery tires, Mei Rou invited Qiu Yu, Miao Yi, and Bai Tian to the secret room and told them what she saw today.
Qiu Yu was immediately surprised. In order to paralyze Snake Jiaojiao and make Snake Jiaojiao mistakenly think that Qiu Yu was still using the problematic "Drunken Concubine Fragrance", Mei Rou swapped the "Drunken Concubine Fragrance" she bought from Xiaolongnu's rouge shop today with Qiu Yu's three boxes of "Drunken Concubine Fragrance".
So, Qiu Yu continued to use the "drunken concubine incense" that was no problem, and the crisp softness in her belly kept the fetal position. However, Su Rou did not appreciate Mei Rou's affection, she said to Mei Rou in Qiu Yu's belly: Don't think that if you help me, I will forgive you!
Mei Rou said in her heart: You just hate me, and I can't let you die. If you die, that abominable night peacock will be preoccupied with harassing me. If you don't die, maybe he'll target you, haha! So, I won't let you die so easily.
Half a month later, Biyue suddenly showed her courtesy to Qiu Yu, and often came to Qiu Yu to ask for warmth, asking her if she was uncomfortable with applying "drunken concubine incense". Mei Rou, who was by Qiu Yu's side, knew that Biyue was actually here to find out if Qiu Yu had a miscarriage, so after discussing it with Qiu Yu, she planned it and starred in a fake miscarriage ten days later.
On this day, Qiu Yu deliberately pretended to have a stomachache so that she kept rolling on the bed, Fu Huahong pretended to be busy treating her, but in the end, Qiu Yu still had a miscarriage, leaving a big red on the sheets.
In fact, the large patch of red on the bed sheet was a dummy blood made by Fu Huahong mixed with honey and brown sugar syrup. In order to be realistic, Qiu Yu also pretended to lose her baby and her eyes were swollen from crying, which made the tenderness in her belly smile. However, Biyue, who pretended to care about Qiu Yu, stood outside the house but believed it, and when Fu Huahong pretended to take out a piece of cat and fox meat that had been prepared a long time ago and flashed it in front of her eyes, she really thought it was the aborted fox embryo meat.
After Qiu Yu's fake miscarriage, Biyue didn't come to Qiu Yu very often, which made Mei Rou and Qiu Yu, Miao Yi, and Bai Tian suspect that she colluded with Snake Jiaojiao and Hao Yishe. However, Biyue quietly induced Qiu Yu to buy "Drunken Concubine Xiang", and the method of deceiving Qiu Yu was very hidden, and Mei Rou and the others could not find evidence of Biyue's collusion with Snake Jiaojiao and Hao Yishe for the time being, so they did not report Biyue for the time being.
