Li Qingyi said: "Since there is still a glimmer of hope, no matter what, we must give it a try! Silan, go find Dawu and Jiang Shun and ask them to release the news through multiple channels. We are willing to spend a lot of money to find medicine! If anyone If you can provide information about peach-faced gall within twelve hours, you will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver. If you can directly deliver the peach-faced gall, in addition to the price of the medicine, you will receive an additional ten thousand taels of silver!"
Jianlan agreed, glanced at Hengwu and immediately went to discuss the matter.
Changlan said: "Slave, why don't you go and inform me?"
Li Qingyi nodded repeatedly, "That's fine, maybe there's some news from him!"
Chang Lan went to Qin Zeng to deliver a message, and everyone turned their attention back to Heng Wu.
Li Qingyi's dark eyes were full of hatred, but he still couldn't accept it, "But why is it that only Hengwu is poisoned while the others are fine? Isatis Lan and Changning Changlan often follow me out, and Hengwu stays in the house most of the time. Is this possible? Poison in her house?”
Everyone looked around subconsciously, but didn't see anything special.
Xie Rao said: "Meirenku can be ingested in different ways. If it is taken orally, her mouth, throat, and esophagus will be corroded and ulcerated. If it is taken in the eyes, there will be shame, tearing, eye pain, congestion, etc. , but she has none of these symptoms, I suspect it should be toxins ingested through breathing."
"Breathing? This is even more impossible? We are in the same place almost every day. Why is she the only one who inhaled the poison? Is there any way to identify this poison?"
"Beauty has a faint fragrance. You should first check all the scented things in the house."
Li Qingyi turned to look at Heng Wu, whose face was tinged with gray. Tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. When she first came to the capital, she rescued Heng Wu from the Wei Mansion. Is it possible that she still couldn't keep this girl? Life?
There were suppressed sobs in the room, and Chang Ning's eyes were red: "We must find out who did it, and I'll kill that bastard!"
Lian Shuang kept holding Heng Wu and calling her, but Heng Wu didn't respond at all, "Obviously she was still talking and laughing in the morning..."
Xie Rao walked to Heng Wu and said, "Hanjiang, go get some ice. Ice application can relieve her pain."
Hanjiang cried and put down Hengwu in his arms and ran out to get ice.
After a lot of trouble, Jingyuntang also knew that something had happened here. When they learned that Heng Wu was poisoned and was on the verge of death, the old lady came to inquire in person.
This was the first time she came here after Qin Zeng and Li Qingyi got married.
Li Qingyi looked solemn, "Why did you alert the old lady?"
The old lady said: "Such a big thing happened in your yard, so I naturally wanted to come over and have a look. But how did you find out how you were poisoned? Is there anything wrong with the others?"
Li Qingyi was surprised.
Gongsun Wanyan said that the old lady hated messy things happening around her the most in her life, but when she heard her words, she clearly showed some concern.
It seemed that her thoughts in the house during these days were not in vain.
She simply said: "The incident happened suddenly. Granddaughter-in-law is a little confused and has no clue. I would like to ask the old lady to sit here and help granddaughter-in-law sort things out."
The old lady didn't expect that she would say this. Her words revealed the dependence of the younger generation on the elders. After thinking about it, she nodded, "That's fine."
Everyone gradually calmed down, and Qin Zeng also got the news and rushed back.
The old lady looked towards him, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
All the fragrant things in the house were gathered together and placed on the table, rouge, hair oil, incense, ink sticks, tea cakes... Xie Rao checked them one by one, but found nothing unusual.
Qin Zeng thought: "The murderer's target cannot be Hengwu, it must be Qingqing. If you think about it this way, first of all, the poison must be something Qingqing will definitely come into contact with on a daily basis. Secondly, since the woad is fine, then this poison It must be something that Hengwu touches but woad does not touch.”
Heng Lan arranged Li Qingyi's instructions and rushed back to see Heng Wu. He heard these words when he entered the room. She said: "What the uncle said is correct, but since the poisonous girl must have been exposed to it, why is the girl okay?"
Qin Zeng glanced at the bracelet on Li Qingyi's hand and said, "It's probably because of the bracelet."
Li Qingyi was startled and followed Qin Zeng's gaze to look at her wrist. She raised her hand in confusion: "You mean, it's because of the bracelet?"
This bracelet is an ice mist lotus bracelet specially carved by Qin Zeng by skilled craftsmen. The transparent part is carved into lotus flowers and lotus pods, and the green part is carved into lotus leaves. There are also some unknown spices sealed in the lotus seeds, which are always exuding. There is a fragrance that is not there.
On the wedding night, Qin Zeng put it on for her with his own hands. Li Qingyi liked it very much and never took it off after that.
Qin Zengdao: "Not only those few lotus seeds, but look at the dewdrops on the lotus leaves. What is sealed inside is the holy medicine that can cure hundreds of poisons, not spices. The poisonous power of this beauty is not strong when it first enters the body. It must have been caused by this bracelet." Its effectiveness is solved.”
Everyone's expressions became extremely ugly.
If it weren't for Li Qingyi carrying this bracelet, he would be like a weed today, hanging on a thread between life and death.
Li Qingyi stroked the bracelet and was silent for a while, "Hengwu and I often touch things, but Woad doesn't touch things..."
After she said this, a bright light suddenly flashed in her heart and she looked at Isatis, who also reacted, "Girl, could it be..."
Li Qingyi quickly got up and went to the desk where he usually wrote and painted. He touched the paper he usually used with his hand, picked it up and smelled it gently. A faint fragrance poured into his nose...
Her hands suddenly trembled: "Is this the paper?"
Xie Rao walked over and smelled the paper carefully, wondering: "What's going on with this paper?"
Li Qingyi said: "In the past, when I had nothing to do in my boudoir, I learned from the masters in the pen and ink shop, using spices and flower juice to dye paper. The paper produced not only had a light color, but also had a long-lasting effect. The girls have been using this method to dye paper for me since then. Could it be that someone hid poison in the spices used to dye my paper?"
"Is there any spice left?"
"There are still some. Sister Hengwu said the day before yesterday that grandma's paper is almost used up again, and she plans to dye another batch. She has already soaked the spices in water!"
"Take me to see it."
Everyone immediately came to a wing on the west side of the courtyard. Xie Rao went in to check it out and sighed when he came out: "If my guess is correct, this spice has been tampered with."
Li Qingyi only felt a heart-wrenching pain, and a cold sting passed through her heart, and a chill came into her eyes, "How deliberate!"

In Tongfu Tower, Zhenbei Princess Lin was dressed in a dark dress and a curtain hat, sitting and drinking tea. Nanzhu stood beside her, also dressed in the same dress, and there was a person standing in front of them.
