Doctor Xu lowered his voice and said slowly: "Listen to me. There were eighteen people who broke into the woods that day, but only ten survived. The other eight were lost with us. We will wait until they are found." At that time, they were all poisoned, and I tried all my methods but was unable to do anything."
"Later, before they died, they told me that they were poisoned because they fell into a flower bush."
Lu Yan raised his eyes, "Hua Cong?"
"Yes, it's the flowers. The flowers are very delicate and bright red, just like human blood, and the flowers are very fragrant. They were poisoned because of the fragrance of the flowers." Dr. Xu continued, "Their symptoms of poisoning are the same as Your Highness is exactly the same, I think the two assassins probably used this flower to make poison and apply it on their shoulders."
Lu Yan's eyes showed joy, "It seems that as long as you find the person who made the poison, you can find the assassin. Doctor Xu, besides Qilin Mountain, where else can such flowers be found?" ?.?????.ℂ? ?
Doctor Xu shook his head, "It is only found in Qilin Mountain, and everyone who has seen this flower has died. I also learned about it from the mouths of those who are about to die, and I don't know what this flower looks like."
Lu Yan pondered, "You think we have to go to Qilin Mountain."
He turned sideways and looked at Dr. Xu, "Doctor Xu, you just said that what the shopkeeper said may not be true. How did you know that?"
Doctor Xu raised his head and said, "It's because of this flower that you can be poisoned by smelling its fragrance, not to mention that they carry arrows full of poison. These two assassins are either immune to all poisons or they carry antidotes. If the shopkeeper If I saw them entering the inn with my own eyes, I might have been poisoned to meet the King of Hell."
"Is this poison so powerful?" Lu Yan was surprised.
Doctor Xu waved his hand, "Of course, it's a miracle that His Highness survived."
Lu Yan clarified his words and said slowly: "It seems that the shopkeeper didn't see the assassin entering the inn at all. He lied to us."
Doctor Xu nodded lightly, "Yes, I think he didn't want to get into trouble, so he made up two random people for you to investigate, so that he could stay out of it."
Lu Yan slapped the wicker chair aside, "He's so brave, letting us enjoy it in vain."
Doctor Xu continued: "But it is not an empty joy. At least now we can confirm that the poison comes from Qilin Mountain. Now Qilin Mountain is on the border of Nanyi. I think it should be related to the Nanyi people."
Lu Yan's eyes darkened, as if he had been awakened.
"So their goal that day was never Ruiyuan, but Wanchun?!"
Doctor Xu doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, so he won't be able to handle the rest.
Lu Yan clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his left hand, "Yes, that's true, but I don't understand why the Nanyi people want to kill Wanchun. Wanchun used to be just an ordinary peasant woman in Changliu Village. Even if I later become the shopkeeper of the Zhou family and start a rice shop and incense shop business in Cheng'an County, this has nothing to do with the Nanyi people!"
Doctor Xu shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Lu Yan gradually put away his shock, raised his eyes to look at the door of Zhou Ruiyuan's bedroom, sighed and said, "We will talk to him and Wan Chun in detail after Ruiyuan's injury recovers."
Doctor Xu followed his gaze and said, "That's all we can do for the time being."
Lu Yan did not stay in the palace for long and immediately returned to the mansion to interrogate the shopkeeper again.
Sure enough, as Dr. Xu said, the shopkeeper had never seen a man and a woman wearing black hats.
That day the inn was operating as usual and no suspicious people were seen.
Just because there was nothing suspicious, the shopkeeper became more and more afraid that the prince would blame him, so he thought of a way to fabricate two people at random.
Lu Yan was so angry that he sent someone to beat the shopkeeper and lock him up. Then he immediately sent two of his confidants to Qilin Mountain without telling everyone to see if there was anything Doctor Xu had said about it. Killer poisonous flower.
As Zhou Ruiyuan woke up, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince came not long after.
In the dormitory, Du Wanchun slowly came out of Zhou Ruiyuan's arms, raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, "Ruiyuan, no matter what happens in the future, don't be like that day again."
"Like what? Will I block the arrow for you?" Zhou Ruiyuan reached out to hold her cheek and asked softly.
His hand was big, and the palm of it was very soft and warm. Du Wanchun sunk his face into it, and his heart followed Ruan Ruan's.
She stretched out her hand to cover the back of his hand and responded softly with a serious look on her face: "Well..."
Just one word, but it revealed her full heartache.
Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "I can agree to everything you have told me, but I will not agree to this one thing."
Du Wanchun's eyes were startled.
Before she could refute, Zhou Ruiyuan kissed her on the lips.
His kiss was very gentle, as soft as spring drizzle. The fingers holding her cheek were slightly firm, full of strong possessiveness. But as his heart beat faster, the kiss became deeper and deeper, making Du Wanchun's cheeks turn red. , the heartbeat is not stopping.
She could only raise her head to face his kiss, and couldn't help but reach out and hug him tightly.
In this kiss, Du Wanchun didn't feel Zhou Ruiyuan's weakness due to poisoning at all. On the contrary, he still had a strength that she couldn't describe.
She didn't think about it. Seeing that he was in good health, she was immersed in joy.
