Chance encounter

Wu Ying called the housekeeper and the accountant early in the morning of the second day. The housekeeper thought that they called the accountant to take the opportunity to ask for property, and felt a little unhappy.Wu Ying directly asked who kept the property in the butler's house, and the butler was sure that what he thought was right. He waited for Wu Ying to ask him for the property, thinking in his heart that these two people were probably here to cheat money. After that, he didn't provide a cure for the prince's illness, so he tried to drive the two out.

Wu Ying looked at the thin and dry accountant in front of him, and thought, with so much money in his hand, why don't he make himself fatter? Seeing that the housekeeper ignored him, Wu Ying asked the accountant again: "Mr. Clearly."

The accountant nodded, and contempt appeared in the housekeeper's eyes.

Wu Ying asked again: "Then Mr. is also aware of the quantity of items stored in the house."

The accountant said: "Of course it is clear." The accountant's voice was thick and loud, not like his dry and thin figure at all.

Wu Ying was a little surprised when he heard the voice from the accounting room, but he didn't have time to think about it, and then asked: "Then, sir, do you still have phoenix tails in the house?"

After hearing this, the accountant thought for a while and said, "There is another piece in the account, but it is broken. Why do you ask this?"

After hearing this, Wu Ying said, "Can you show me the broken piece?"

The accountant didn't say anything after hearing this, but the housekeeper said, "That's a gift from the emperor, what do you want to do here?"

Wu Ying explained: "I want to study what the prince is usually in contact with, and I will give it to you after reading it."

After hearing this, the accountant called a girl named Hongyu and asked her to bring the incense sticks.

Wu Ying looked at the broken incense block and said, "Can you bring the incense burner from before?"

The housekeeper asked Hongyu to get it, but Hongyu stood still. She faltered and said: "Well, that incense burner was accidentally broken, I, I haven't told sir yet."

The housekeeper was a little angry after hearing this, and said, "Why didn't you report it in time?"

Hongyu said: "After the lord fell ill, the house was in a mess and you were in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to say it."

After Wu Ying asked where the incense burner and ashes were thrown, she took Liu Wuyan back to the backyard.

When going back, Wu Ying went to see the place where the incense burner and incense ashes were thrown away. The incense burner had been broken to the point where only slag was left. It was obvious that it was accidentally stepped on the ground by someone. Wu Ying stood there regretfully. He got up and was about to walk away when he suddenly froze again. He squatted down again, as if he had discovered something.Liu Wuyan asked: "Could it be that there is gold in the incense ash?"

Wu Ying shook his head, carefully packed two small medicine jars of incense ash, and then stood up. He suddenly felt that someone was watching them from a distance, so he looked over, but saw nothing.

Liu Wuyan said loudly: "I never thought you would like this Phoenix tail incense to such an extent that you even wanted to keep the ashes, and you even told the butler what it was for the prince."

Wuying looked at Liu Wuyan, and then looked to the right. Liu Wuyan nodded and said softly, "I've been with us for a while."

When Wu Ying walked back, she deliberately took Liu Wuyan to the right, and while walking, she deliberately asked Liu Wuyan about interesting things in the fireworks alley.When they passed the garden, Liu Wuyan suddenly slowed down, and then pulled Wu Ying to stop, saying that the garden of the palace is comparable to the imperial garden, with many precious flowers and plants, and then dragged Wu Ying around the garden in a mess Let's go, let's talk about the flower for a while, and talk about the tree for a while, although there are no flowers in this season, and there are not many leaves on the tree.

Although Wuying didn't know what Liu Wuyan meant, she cooperated with Liu Wuyan and followed him around.Liu Wuyan pulled Wuying to the front of an osmanthus tree, looked at Wuying, Wuying nodded knowingly, broke off a branch from the tree and left quickly.

After entering the house, Liu Wuyan whispered, "What should we do now?"

Wu Ying took out the two small medicine jars, and said, "Let me see what kind of poison it is first, and quickly find someone to protect us."

Liu Wuyan said: "They came in a long time ago, the one just now should be Hongyu, when you said you were looking for Fengwei, I saw her expression was wrong, but it seems that she is not alone, you are sure to cooperate Is there an antidote?"

Wu Ying shook her head and said, "That's not good, but why are you so nervous?"

Liu Wuyan said: "I'm not nervous, I'm just afraid that they can't wait to kill the prince."

Wu Ying said: "If you want to kill him, you will be dead long ago. Why wait for someone to save you?"

Liu Wuyan said: "Then what if they change their minds, they want the prince to faint, and if they see that you want to wake him up, they don't want him to wake up, so they want him to die."

After hearing this, Wu Ying pondered for a while, and said, "It makes sense, it seems that we are going to guard the prince."

Wu Ying picked up the medicine box and walked out, Liu Wuyan followed him and said, "You don't have those incense ashes and that sweet-scented osmanthus."

Wu Ying said: "I know what the poison is, those are useless."

Liu Wuyan asked: "You know, then the prince is saved, then you know how to prepare the antidote."

Wu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know how to prepare the antidote yet."

Liu Wuyan was a little discouraged after hearing this, he didn't say anything else, thinking about other things in his mind.

They stopped when they passed the lotus pond, which was a withered scene.Wu Ying picked up a lotus pod, broke it off vigorously, and then used one end of the lotus pod to pick up the lotus leaves floating on the water. They saw a blue silk handkerchief at the bottom of the pool.Liu Wuyan looked at Wu Ying's downcast face, and asked, "This color, could it be water blue? Could this be the cloth wrapped in the prince's treasured treasure?"

Wu Ying nodded and said: "It seems that the small pile of different incense ashes is the phoenix tail that the prince treasured. It will be difficult for the prince to wake up this time and not find something wrong with the treasure."

They walked all the way to the prince's bedroom without saying a word, after entering Wuying stared at the censer that was emitting green smoke, Liu Wuyan sat down and said suddenly: "Your nose is quite good, you can smell it. "

Wu Ying looked at the censer and said, "Humph, it's so good, even so I can't smell the smell of that censer is a problem."

After Wu Ying finished speaking, he fell silent again. Suddenly he picked up the teapot and was about to pour it on the incense burner, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He shook the teapot in his hand, then looked at the teacup next to him, and brought the teapot to his nose I went to the incense burner and smelled it again.He immediately asked the maid standing outside to call the housekeeper.

After the butler came, he looked unhappy, wondering what was going on with this person.

Wu Ying picked up the censer and said, "My lord is not suitable for incense now, take it out."

The housekeeper looked impatient, but the red jade hastily reached out to take it. She was about to go out when Wuying picked up the teapot and said, "Use this to put out the incense burner." Wuying held the teapot, but Hongyu dared not Reach out.

The butler saw it and said, "Hongyu, what's the matter?"

Hongyu said: "Well, I'll go outside and find water to pour it out, and it's fine if I don't use this tea." Hongyu said and was about to go out.

But Wu Ying said: "I think you know there is a problem here, so you refuse to take the teapot in my hand."

After hearing this, Hongyu stepped forward bravely. At this time, there was a light cough from the corner, and the people in the room didn't care, but after hearing the sound, Hongyu reached out to take the teapot from Wuying's hand .The butler saw it and said, "I thought it was a big deal. The palace has a lot of things to do, so don't just come to me."

Just when the butler was about to go out, Hongyu suddenly ran towards the inner room. While running, she poured the water from the teapot onto the incense burner. The people in the room were a little puzzled when they saw Hongyu's sudden movement, and stepped forward one after another. After walking two steps, there were still two servant girls who were about to step forward and pull her out. At this moment, Hongyu heard a slight noise from the incense burner, and after seeing the white smoke coming out, she smiled and said, "You guys Die with me, do you know what this is? This is..." Before Hongyu could finish her sentence, a short arrow stuck in her throat.At this time, everyone in the house panicked. First, Hongyu said that they were all going to die, and then Hongyu died in front of them.The two maidservants closest to Hongyu collapsed on the ground and said, "What should we do? What should we do? We are poisoned, the white smoke is poisonous, she said we are all going to die, what should we do?"

The people in the room were a little panicked after hearing what the two maids said. At this moment, Liu Wuyan walked to Wu Ying's side and said, "Someone has gone out, and my people are following him."

Wu Ying nodded after hearing this, then walked to the housekeeper, patted his stiff body, and said, "Let someone pull Hongyu out first."

The housekeeper stood motionless, and Wu Ying said: "Everyone go out, get Hongyu and those two girls out, you are not poisoned, did not see that Hongyu was shot in the throat and died, it's all gone , I might be targeted in this room."

After Hongyu was carried out, the steward's voice was weak, and he asked, "What is Hongyu holding? Is it really not poisonous?"

Wu Ying said: "I changed the incense sticks before you came, otherwise I wouldn't dare to let Hongyu take it, but I didn't expect her to do so."

The butler still hadn't recovered, he asked: "Is that Hongyu dead? Quickly see the lord, is the lord okay?"

Wu Ying knew that the housekeeper would not be able to recover for a while, so she asked someone to help the housekeeper out first.

Wu Ying looked at the censer lying on the ground, and sighed, Liu Wuyan said, "You're not really sorry for that phoenix tail, are you?"

Wu Ying said: "At any rate, it is also the tribute incense that the prince has treasured for many years."

Liu Wuyan squatted on the ground, facing the incense block soaked in the water beach, said: "It's a pity, I didn't smell any smell, could it really lose the smell after a long time, but thanks to Hongyu's not found."
