"There's something wrong with the fragrance emitted by this sachet. I want to open it and take a look."
There was a look of determination on Mr. Xu's face. When Wu Zechen saw it, he suddenly felt a little unsure, and also vaguely...expectant?
"It's up to you." Out of respect for Mr. Xu, Wu Zechen did not refuse, or in other words, he did not want to refuse.
After receiving Wu Zechen's approval, Mr. Xu immediately picked up the sachet, opened it, and took out some powder. After examining it carefully, he put it under his nose and gently smelled the fragrance.
"Old Qian, come and take a look." Mr. Xu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly called Mr. Qian who had been silent.
When Wu Zechen saw Mr. Qian approaching him, and seeing Mr. Xu looking wrong, he suddenly had some premonitions in his heart.
Is it true...
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong? But there's really something wrong with this sachet?" Thinking of what he just said to Xia Luotong and her cold and indifferent eyes afterwards, Wu Zechen suddenly felt a little stuffy in his heart.
Mr. Xu did not answer Wu Zechen immediately, but looked at Mr. Qian. After the latter confirmed the powder and nodded with him with a frown, Mr. Xu looked at Wu Zechen and spoke with an unhappy expression.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something wrong with the powder in this sachet." At this time, Mr. Xu also thought of Xia Luotong who had just left. While feeling distressed, his tone was not as respectful as usual.
"These powders in the sachets are mixed with broken blue leaves, and this broken blue leaf is the poison that Miss Xia was poisoned by. Smelling the aroma of this herb can instantly cause toxicity in her body. The attack!"
Wu Zechen looked at the dissatisfaction on Mr. Xu's face, and he naturally knew why. After all, he had just said that to Xia Luotong.
Although he was losing confidence in his heart, he still said: "But that doesn't mean anything, does it? The broken blue leaves may have been added just to create this fragrance, but it just happened to be Her poison is just a trigger."
"What kind of Miss Liu does the prince like?" Mr. Xu suddenly asked.
Wu Zechen was stunned and didn't understand why Mr. Xu suddenly asked this question. His eyebrows were slightly frowned and he was a little unhappy. Although he didn't understand the relationship between the two questions, he still said frankly: "There is no love between men and women, but it's just not the same." It’s just that you treat other women like that.”
"If that's the case, why does the prince need to protect Miss Liu like this?" Mr. Xu asked, making Wu Zechen stunned.
Yes, why would I protect Liu Yingxue?
When he heard Xia Luotong talking like that, his first thought was that it was impossible, and he decided that it was Xia Luotong's problem without even thinking about it deeply.
When Mr. Xu saw Wu Zechen's suddenly stunned expression, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed helplessly: "This is just because the prince is still worried about Miss Xia's birth into the Xia family."
After hearing this, Wu Zechen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling his emotions and reactions all the time. Maybe, maybe, this is really the case...
Only to hear Mr. Xu speak again and slowly explain: "The main use of this broken blue leaf is trauma, but because of its scarcity, it is not common. In addition, its effect is similar to that of herbs used for ordinary trauma, so the probability of use is It’s extremely low, unless you happen to have this herb on hand, you won’t use it at all.”
"Besides, it is even more nonsense to say that the broken blue leaves are used as sachets! Although the broken blue leaves have a slight aroma, the latter part of the aroma is bitter. How can such a herb be possible? Use it to make a sachet?!"
Wu Zechen was slightly shocked when he heard Mr. Xu's explanation. He quickly stepped forward to twist the powder and sniff it. Sure enough, he felt a bit of a bitter smell among the lingering fragrance. He had not noticed it before and was masked by other fragrances. So he didn't notice the bitter lingering fragrance.
While Wu Zechen was still in a daze, Qian Lao, who had just left for a while, turned back and had an additional herb in his hand.
This is an herb with slightly dark blue veins, but other than that it doesn't look anything special.
"There happens to be this broken blue leaf in the warehouse in the mansion. Lao Qian just went to bring one here. The prince will know its fragrance by smelling it alone, lest the prince think that the fragrance is produced by other spices." Mr. Xu thought of Xia Luotong just now He looked distressed when he left, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone.
But at this time, Wu Zechen didn't care about anything else. After taking the broken blue leaf handed over by Mr. Qian, he put it to the tip of his nose to identify it carefully.
really……
The powder in the sachet was indeed mixed with the medicinal powder of Broken Blue Leaf...
He didn't have the slightest doubt about what Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian said. They were both people he trusted. They had been taking care of his body for so many years. He could live peacefully after leaving Baihua Valley. It could be said that these two elders Takes a lot of the credit.
But because of this, he was speechless for a moment, and then he couldn't help but carefully recall the scene in Xianlin Tower.
From Xia Luotong's appearance to his departure, every scene and every word Liu Yingxue said to him kept flashing through his mind.
His memory is already amazing, not to mention what happened today, so he recalled everything without missing a beat.
It seemed that from beginning to end, neither he nor Liu Yingxue mentioned the word sachet, and Xia Luotong was on the other side of the screen, so it was impossible to see what they were doing or what they were holding in their hands.
Therefore, Xia Luotong may know what Liu Yingxue gave him, but he really doesn't know what it is.
Suddenly, Wu Zechen recalled another detail.
He remembered that Xia Luotong had said that she suddenly became poisonous at that time, and judging from the movement on the other side of the screen at that time, it was Liu Yingxue who took out the sachet, and Xia Luotong happened to walk up to them. When facing sideways!
So, the reason why she got poisonous hair during the day was because she happened to pass by and smelled the smell of poison in the sachet. Is this what caused the poisonous hair?
If this is the case, and coupled with Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian's explanations, then the broken blue leaf powder contained in the sachet is very suspicious.
Could it really be Liu Yingxue who did it...?
But how did she know about Xia Luotong's poisoning? And if you want to know that Duan Lanye is Xia Luotong's poison, you must first know what kind of poison she was poisoned with, and how did she learn the details of the poison?
Questions popped up in his mind one after another, and suddenly, the scene where he and Liu Yingxue were on the boat on Jinguang Lake not long ago appeared in his mind.
At that time, Liu Yingxue showed concern for Xia Luotong, and later she mentioned her marriage openly or covertly in her words...
Wu Zechen couldn't help but frown, recalling what those women who coveted his position as princess had done, as well as what the old concubine had done, he had some doubts about Liu Yingxue...
