"This is……"
Lian Suisui ignored the injury on his leg and squatted down next to Mingxuan's body. The rolling balls finally gathered on the body's abdomen and stopped moving.
"There were originally a lot of dark purple cobweb traces, but they all disappeared after just an hour."
Song Jingwei added on the side.
In order to allow her to recover from her injuries in peace of mind, Chu Zhiyi ordered that no one should come to disturb her. Song Jing spent some effort to send someone to find her.
"cobweb?"
Lian Suisui opened the eyelids of the corpse, and there were still traces of cobwebs on the whites of the eyes.
"It's Liuying."
Her voice was trembling, and she raised her head to meet Chu Zhiyi's eyes.
"What is Liuying?"
All the irrelevant people left, and King Cheng asked with a complex expression.
Du Hanyin glanced at Chu Zhiyi and said, "Maybe it's a rare poison?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Lian Suisui. He was dead and all traces on his body had disappeared.
"I'm 80% sure it's Liu Ying, and there's a way to prove it."
She took out a sharp knife from the medicine box and lightly scratched the corpse's belly. With a pop, the mass of flesh that had become quiet suddenly started to move again.
"careful!"
King Cheng reached out to pick up Lian Suisui, who was half kneeling on the ground, but someone beat him to it. Chu Zhiyi picked up Lian Suisui and stepped back. Du Hanyin stood in front of the two of them without leaving a trace.
With a bang, the corpse exploded, and a bright green light flew into the air, briefly illuminating everyone's surprised expressions.
"Is this Liu Ying?"
Not only are there traces on the body like fireflies, but the body will also explode and emit light like fireflies.
Even Suisui saw this scene for the first time.
"The light goes out after death, and a person who is poisoned by the poison of the flying firefly cannot survive for more than a year without an antidote."
The body of the person holding him was trembling slightly. Facing death intuitively was not the most terrifying thing. Once a person's psychological defense collapsed, he would be covered in bruises without the need for a sharp knife.
"So vicious! Where did this poison come from?"
Song Jingwei asked everyone's thoughts.
This scene was so shocking that the light of the fireflies completely disappeared in the dark cell.
"I don't know, but this kind of thing does not belong to the Central Plains."
If the matter of Yishantang is related to forces outside the customs, it will be even more complicated.
"Uncle Emperor, are you okay?"
King Cheng noticed that Chu Zhiyi's expression was wrong, and even Suisui tried to get up from his lap, but he pushed him back again.
"I'm not feeling well. Suisui is scared. Send us out."
Lian Suisui was held in his arms, unable to defend herself, so she could only lean against him like a bird.
King Cheng pushed the two of them out uncomfortably.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
I don't know if it was the cold weather or the cold heart, but he kept shaking.
"Perhaps, there is someone else who poisoned you, the woman I saw in the secret room..."
What if someone else poisoned him to sow discord and let him deal with Emperor Chen?
Lian Suisui analyzed the possibilities in her mind, and Chu Zhiyi hugged her tighter.
"Don't leave tonight..."
His voice was muffled, and Lian Suisui said distressedly: "If you don't leave, I will stay with you."
He gave her the bedroom and Chu Zhiyi lived in the side room. The space in the side room was not as large as the main bedroom, and the furnishings were not exquisite enough.
It was late spring in this season, and it was very cold at night. He, who was so afraid of the cold, had to make do with her here, and even Suisui couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
"Don't go!"
He woke up just as she took her hand away.
Lian Suisui comforted him: "If you don't leave, I'll add fuel to the fire."
It was too cold in the room and her hands were a little cold.
Chu Zhiyi looked at her with wet eyes and lifted the quilt.
"Come up."
This...is a bit against the rules, they haven't gotten married yet.
Lian Suisui wanted to refuse, but when she met his eyes, she couldn't say no.
Forget it, he just got hurt tonight. He is such a gentleman, he shouldn't do anything to her.
Lian Suisui lay next to him in his clothes and coaxed in a child-like tone: "I won't leave, so go to sleep."
She wasn't sleepy at first, but it was dark outside now, so she fell asleep soon after lying down.
Chu Zhiyi opened his eyes and looked at her, his lips curved, and his eyes turned cold the next moment.
"Shu Ying, go find out why that person named Ming Xuan was poisoned by Liu Ying!"
Who poisoned him?
Why Liuying?
There was a storm in his heart. Six years ago, he was tricked into falling off a cliff. He went from being a proud man to a cripple who could never stand up.
Immediately afterwards, his father died, his mother and concubine passed away, and his brother ascended the throne. He lost everything overnight.
Until Liuying's first attack made him miserable...
He always thought it was the imperial brother who wanted to eradicate him!
All these years, I have been hiding my capabilities and keeping a low profile in order to lower everyone's defenses and plan a comeback...
Lian Suisui turned over and interrupted his thoughts.
He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the temples, hugging her tightly.
He is not a weak little white flower, he is a big bad wolf. If you mess with him, you will be ripped apart and eaten! From now on it only belongs to him!
Lian Suisui slept soundly, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that she had occupied the entire bed, and Chu Zhiyi had long been missing.
"This slave will help you wash up."
A unfamiliar maid came forward with hot water, and Lian Suisui coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Where's Xiaotao?"
Why isn't Xiao Tao here to serve her?
"Today is the first day of spring. Two young masters are leaving the house. The prince has prepared gifts and asked Miss Xiao Tao to go back to the house early in the morning."
Is it spring today?
Lian Suisui woke up with a start.
Does the day go by so fast?
"The kitchen has prepared porridge and snacks. You can eat first. There are guests at the prince's place."
The maid's eyes were burning, and she took on the posture of serving the hostess and helped her wash and dress up. Lian Suisui wanted to explain that nothing really happened last night, but was afraid that the other party would think she was guilty.
Simply don't explain it, just misunderstand it.
The injury on my leg no longer hurts much.
"I want to go out for a walk."
The sun is just right outside, and the flower trees in the garden are full of buds, which should be in full bloom in a few days.
"What kind of flower is that?"
Looking from a distance, there is a sea of snow-white flowers.
"That's a pear tree. Every spring, the pear blossoms bloom earliest."
There are also varieties of pear trees, and not all pear blossoms bloom early. The pear tree planted in her hometown always blooms slowly, and the pears it produces are always sour and astringent.
"Go over and have a look."
"Look at how beautiful these flowers are in bloom! I remembered a poem! The crabapples have not yet rained, but the pear blossoms have snowed first. Half of them..."
In order to please her, the maid racked her brains to think of a poem, but forgot the second half.
Lian Suisui smiled and said: "I am not an elegant person. When I saw this tree full of pear blossoms, I was thinking about how to use them!"
"Pear blossoms are a kind of medicinal material. The pear tree is full of treasures. Pear blossoms can remove acne on the face. Pear leaves can be decoctioned to treat wind and cold hernia in children. The bark can remove knotted gas, cough and other symptoms. Pear fruits can make wine and pear ointment. , preserved pear, cures hot cough, moistens the lungs and cools the heart, and relieves sores and alcohol poisoning."
"This season, you can use pear flowers to make rouge."
"Pick some petals for me and dry them, and I'll teach you how to make rouge!"
"Third sister!"
Lian Suisui turned around when he heard the sound.
Lian Xiaoxiao ran over holding up her skirt.
"Third sister, is your injury okay?"
The two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Lian Xiao has become thinner and energetic.
"Why are you coming here at this time?"
Lian Xiao shook his head.
"I haven't seen my third sister for a long time. I told my mother to come and see you today."
All her worries were written on her face, and her uneasy look made Lian Suisui suspicious.
"Did something happen at Miaoshou Hall?"
