Just when Xiao Xuetang was thinking about something, Lin Xun's gaze turned to the small table.

When Lin Xun was drunk just now, Xiao Xuetang had been studying the incense in the stove...

"Is there something wrong with this calming incense?"

Xiao Xuetang was secretly surprised by Lin Xun's sharpness. Seeing that Lin Xun had asked about it, he did not hide it anymore. He nodded slightly and asked him, "Where did you get this tranquilizing incense from, and has anyone come into contact with it?"

Lin Xun said: "This incense was sent by Master Liaoyuan."

"When I first went to the battlefield to fight, I was troubled by nightmares and almost had a breakdown. Master Liaoyuan came to the military camp and brought me Buddhist scriptures and calming incense to save me."

"Tianshu usually takes care of my internal affairs. He knows that my poisoning cannot be known to outsiders, especially those foreigners who deliberately want me dead, so he never lets others do it."

"How can this be!"

Xiao Xuetang exclaimed subconsciously, the shock in her eyes was hard to conceal...

"Your Qinglian poison shouldn't have taken effect so quickly... According to common sense, it wouldn't have spread to your face, so I suspected someone had tampered with it."

Xiao Xuetang looked at the pure and unparalleled face in front of him. In fact, the green lotus-like lines were not ugly, and they just added a bit of charm to the already handsome face. Lin Xun took off his mask, which made Xiao Xuetang dare not look at him.

Lin Xun: "Oh?"

"Yes, according to common sense, the blue lotus pattern should be on the waist and abdomen, and will not affect the face..."

Xiao Xuetang met Lin Xun's deep and passionate eyes, and thought of the dream...

The man had a lean waist and abdomen with clear lines, his chest was hot, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his well-defined muscles. A green lotus pattern spread from his chest to his mermaid line, and then down...

Xiao Xuetang's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "You are so annoying, let's talk about serious matters!"

The regent, who was said to be annoying, looked somewhat innocent at this moment.

Although there was only one glass lamp lit at night, Lin Xun had excellent eyesight. Looking at the girl's cheeks as red as peach blossoms, he vaguely guessed something...

Xiao Xuetang was held in Lin Xun's arms. Even though there was clothing between them, the heat from his chest and the cool sandalwood scent on his body made Xiao Xuetang feel dizzy and inexplicably dry in the mouth.

She swallowed quietly, but her heartbeat was inexplicably accelerating, and she tried to change the subject to business.

"At the time, I just suspected that Mu Xingyun must have done something..."

"But I thought that since you are usually very cautious, no one would dare to mess with your diet. I thought of the incense you lit in your room last time in the palace... I stole some of the incense ash, and sure enough, I found a spice in it that I had never seen before."

When talking about what happened last time in the palace, they both thought of that beautiful dream at the same time. Xiao Xuetang's cheeks felt slightly hot, while Lin Xun's expression remained the same, but his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Xiao Xuetang coughed lightly and said, "Later, I asked Uncle Lin and Sister Hongfu to help me check it out. It is very likely that the incense is the long-lost rhino horn incense!"

The rhino horn incense is extremely precious and is worth a fortune. According to rumors in the Western Regions, it can connect the two worlds of yin and yang. It is also known as the soul-returning incense. It is a very yin and cold substance, which just counteracts Lin Xun's green lotus poison. If it is used for a long time, not only will the person lose their sanity, but they will also eventually die from ruptured meridians.

During this period of time, Xiao Xuetang has been looking for an acupuncture method to detoxify Lin Xun. The green lotus poison plus the rhinoceros horn incense, if the acupuncture method researched by Xiao Xuetang is used to detoxify Lin Xun, it will only trigger the toxicity of Lin Xun, and Lin Xun will die within three days.

It can be seen that the person who poisoned the food is extremely vicious!

This fragrance is similar to the scent of sandalwood and is difficult to detect...

Fortunately, Xiao Xuetang had an extraordinary sense of smell and was proficient in the art of perfume making, so he discovered the abnormality at the first opportunity; fortunately, Xiao Xuetang had always been cautious and did not rashly give the injection without being 100% sure.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang couldn't help but feel a little scared, and what made her even more shocked was that the soothing incense in question was given by Master Leyuan.

Tianshu was a brother who fought side by side with Lin Xun, and Xiao Xuetang could see that Lin Xun also respected Master Liaoyuan very much. How could they possibly harm Lin Xun...

Xiao Xuetang's mind was a little confused. After she spoke out all her suspicions, she looked at Lin Xun helplessly and asked, "Could it be Tianshu..."

Looking at the panicked and bewildered look of the woman in his arms, Lin Xun said with great certainty, "It can't be Tianshu!"

Then he paused for a moment before saying, "The calming incense was made by Master Liaoyuan, but I don't know how many people had it when it was delivered to the palace. Maybe there is a traitor among me. Don't make this public for now. I will have someone investigate slowly."

Listening to Lin Xun's steady voice, Xiao Xuetang felt relieved and said, "You must be careful. But finding out the crux of the problem this time may be a good thing!"

The girl's eyes sparkled in the candlelight, and she said, "When I was sorting out books two days ago, I found a set of acupuncture techniques in the medical book left by my aunt. Perhaps it can cure the Qinglian poison."

Lin Xun was a little surprised and asked, "Is Concubine Xie also a doctor?"

Lin Xun had heard from Lu Zizhen before that Xiao Xuetang's medical skills were good, on the one hand, thanks to Xie Xuehe's enlightenment, and on the other hand, because she was well-informed. The Xie family had a collection of millions of books, and the old tutor doted on Xiao Xuetang since she was a child. Xiao Xuetang could read those books at will, so the amount of knowledge she stored was not even comparable to that of the old imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital.

"No, but my aunt has a collection of books, including some medical books."

Concubine Xie had a bookcase, which contained many treasured books that had never been shown to anyone, not even the Xie family had any, and there were many types of books.

There were strange stories like the monkey and the monk's journey to the West; there were also some stories about the cultivation of grains and cotton and linen; there was the making of pigments, cinnabar and ink, which Xiao Xuetang had never heard of before; there were also some strange medical acupuncture methods.

Knowing that Xiao Xuetang liked reading, Concubine Xie often took Xiao Xuetang to read these books quietly in the room before she was ten years old. The books in the small bookcase seemed inexhaustible...

When he was ten years old, Concubine Xie's bookcase suddenly disappeared, and all she left for Xiao Xuetang were a few medical books.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang said: "If we can find the medical box left by my aunt, maybe we can find the whole set of formations, then the Green Lotus Poison can be cured!"

Hearing Concubine Xie, Lin Xun frowned slightly.

As far as he knew, Concubine Xie had many secrets behind her, and even the Xie family was wary of her.

Although Kyoto seems calm now, there are actually undercurrents of turmoil.

Even this time, Nanjiang seemed to be targeting Concubine Xie. Xiao Xuetang was already close to Concubine Xie in the past, and it would not be a good thing if she took the initiative to provoke Concubine Xie again.

However, when he saw Xiao Xuetang's sparkling eyes, he couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so he said, "If you have any clues, you can ask Xiao Shiqi to help you find them."

Lin Xun said this, but at this moment he just held her like this, his neck was tickled by her warm breath, with her warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms, it was inevitable that he felt a little distracted...

If he glanced slightly to the side, he could see her rosy, full lips.

At this moment, there were several knocks on the door...
