Lin Yilan retreated to the side and no longer cared about the situation here. She took the opportunity to size up the garden. She was sure that the last time she smelled the fragrance of chrysanthemum, because chrysanthemum originated from chrysanthemum, so the smell was similar. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to tell the difference. There wasn't much in the Night Courtyard, and it was also outdoors. It wouldn't be a big deal for ordinary people to inhale it. However, when he checked Li Youruo's pulse previously, she had obviously been poisoned to a certain extent. This was also why they were fine while Li Youruo fainted.
There was also something suspicious. Before they played hide-and-seek, there was no chrysanthemum smell in the courtyard, but when she returned to the pavilion, she smelled it.
Then, what about the orange? There was clearly no poison, but after taking it out from Ke Er's hand, it was stained with poison. What did this mean? Was it really related to Ke Er?
Perhaps she had really underestimated this group of beautiful women. If this was planned by one person, then this person was quite capable!
Lin Yilan felt a little frustrated when she thought about how all of this was because of Huangfu Yifeng.
Xiao Qingying glanced coldly at the two annoying women. It was against her principles to beat them up. The best way was to intimidate them by breaking a few trees nearby.
However, she was pulled out by Lin Yilan just now. She didn't have anything in her hands, so she couldn't possibly chop a tree with her bare hands. Her internal injuries had yet to recover…
Just as Xiao Qingying was thinking, a servant girl came out with a basin. She was shocked to see the four people blocking the way. She quickly bowed and then picked a spot far away from Lin Yilan, which was close to Xiao Qingying, with a pale face. She lowered her head and prepared to pass by quickly. However, halfway through, her vision turned white, and her hand felt light. The basin she was holding had fallen into Xiao Qingying's hand.
He looked at this unique " weapon " with disdain. Although it looked a little shocking, it was better than nothing.
Ming Yue and Shan Yun had been looking at this cold-faced woman warily since the beginning, but because her gaze was too sharp, they did not dare to act rashly. They stood there and stared at her for a long time, but she seemed to completely ignore their existence, and her heart was already angry. Now that he saw her snatch a basin, he became suspicious and was on guard.
It had to be said that Xiao Qingying was an expert. Even a weapon that could make people twitch like a washbasin could be manipulated by her like a Firestorm Wheel. The two people in front of her were dumbfounded. They were secretly shocked and frightened.
Xiao Qingying's hands moved quickly and nimbly. A silver belt appeared around the silver-plated basin. She was about to fly out when her hand suddenly slipped and the silver belt turned back into the basin. Coincidentally, the silver belt fell on Mingyue's head!
After a brief silence-
"Ah!"
Just as Lin Yilan was frowning and trying to recall what happened that night, a shrill scream came from Xiao Qingying's direction.
Lin Yilan was startled. She stopped thinking and looked at Xiao Qingying, bursting into laughter.
The remaining water in the basin flowed down Mingyue's face. It was a beautiful scene of a pear blossom covered in rain!
Xiao Qingying glanced at the woman who was pointing at her and trembling in anger. Her eyes twitched, but she still took the basin and said coldly,""Sorry, I missed."
After taking back the basin, Xiao Qingying turned a deaf ear to Ming Yue's curses. She continued to swing the basin into a silver belt. Then, she turned her wrist and loosened her fingers. The silver belt flew straight to the nearby trees." Pa!" Three trees as thick as a man fell to the ground. The dust that was raised did not disperse for a long time. The two men gasped in shock and hurriedly took a few steps back. They looked at Xiao Qingying with fear in their eyes.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Yilan followed Xiao Qingying and walked straight to Sunset Tower without looking at them.
Ming Yue looked at their backs and was so angry that her entire body trembled. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely,"Let's wait and see! If I don't chase you out of the Imperial Residence, I swear I'm not human!”However, whether she was a human or not was still worth investigating.
" Sister, don't be angry, they…" Shan Yun wanted to comfort her, but was interrupted by Ming Yue, who was angry.
"It's not like it's on your head. Of course you're not angry! Don't gloat. Don't think I don't know what you did with that sick cat, Wang Qing!”
Dan Yun's face turned cold and he said sternly,"You're not allowed to say anything about Qing 'er!" You should take care of yourself first. You picked up the half orange before handing it to Ke 'er last time. Can you get away with this? I advise you not to vent your anger on me and be on guard against Gu Yin.”
Ming Yue's face turned pale as she glared fiercely at Dan Yun. She then turned around and chased after Lin Yilan into the Sunset Tower. Dan Yun hid his mocking eyes and followed him in.
It was still the same as before, but Lin Yilan was only paying attention to the furnishings on the table.
There was an unfinished embroidery. The needle and thread were casually placed in a basket next to the half-finished candle. There was a censer, a teapot, and half a cup of unfinished tea.
Everyone clearly saw this messy table. Shan Yun, who had always loved cleanliness, could not help but frown and reprimand Xiao Rong, who had come out from the inner room to welcome guests."What did you do? Didn't you even clean up the room after Yourou fainted? What maid? One in front of the person, another behind the person.”From his tone, anyone who didn't know how to read people's expressions would know that there was a grudge between Dan Yun and Xiao Rong.
"Go sit over there. Don't touch anything here.”Xiao Rong only glanced at Dan Yun and completely ignored her provocative words. In the face of a major event, the inner meaning of the palace's maidservant was completely revealed." Everything is a line. Don't pretend to destroy it unintentionally, or else it will be suspicious."”These words made Lin Yilan look at her in a new light. Putting aside the fact that she could think of the phrase " everything is a thread ", just the threat at the end was enough to dispel the idea of destroying evidence.
"Ha, how funny!”Dan Yun looked at Xiao Rong disdainfully, then turned around and took the lead to walk to the place Xiao Rong had just pointed at.
"The person who harmed Younger Sister Yourou is Gu Yin. What's there to suspect? I think you're in cahoots with her.”Ming Yue stared at Lin Yilan with hatred as she said this. She then followed Shan Yun over.
Lin Yilan, on the other hand, was relaxed. She raised her smile and said to Xiao Rong,"I want tea! It's the tea that Ruo 'er said she would give me last time! Try it first. If it doesn't taste good, then don't!”
While Lin Yilan was asking for tea, Xiao Qingying had been waiting for her with a cold face.
Dan Yun didn't expect this woman to be so thick-skinned. She forced someone to give her something and was even picky. He immediately turned his head away and didn't look at Lin Yilan, who was sitting opposite him.
When Xiao Rong returned with two servant girls, she saw a strange scene. On the right, Shan Yun and Ming Yue were sitting close to each other, but they were looking at different places and didn't talk to each other. On the left side, Lin Yilan and Xiao Qingying's heads were together. Xiao Qingying was holding an object that was emitting a strange light. Lin Yilan would say from time to time," A little more to the left... Look carefully before you press it!" Stupid!"
Xiao Rong's eyes twitched at this strange scene.
"Please have some tea." Xiao Rong said after the two maids placed the tea set on the small tables on the left and right.
"Has Sister Yourou woken up?" Ming Yue was the first to ask. She did not come here to drink tea. If it wasn't for His Highness's order that no one was allowed to approach Li Youruo while she was unconscious, she wouldn't be sitting here with Gu Yin!
"No, I haven't. If you're here to see Miss, you can go back now.”Other than Li Youruo, Xiao Rong would always have this indifferent expression towards any other pretty girl.
Lin Yilan picked up the cup and first sniffed the scent. Then, she observed it carefully for a while. A flash of understanding flashed across her eyes. Since the problem wasn't with the tea leaves, then the thing on the table was suspicious.
Pointing at the table in the main hall, Lin Yilan turned to Xiao Rong and asked,""Xiao Rong, how many of the things on that table are gifts?”
"On the table?" Although her tone was still cold and hard, Xiao Rong did not ignore Lin Yilan's question. She turned to look at the things on the table and thought for a moment." They seem to be gifts."”
"All of them?" Isn't this too extreme?!
Lin Yilan adjusted her facial expression." Do you still remember who sent them?"”
"Gu Yin, what do you mean by this?! That embroidery was a gift from me, so how could I possibly poison it?”Dan Yun said angrily.
"That's right! You were the one who poisoned us, but you're blaming it on us! I was the one who gave that incense burner, but the incense inside was added by Younger Sister Yourou herself. If it was really poisonous, she would be the one who couldn't take it lying down.”Ming Yue was now on the same side as Dan Yun.
Lin Yilan looked at Dan Yun, then stared at Ming Yue for a while. Suddenly, she smiled and said,"Why are you so angry? I was just asking. If you're so angry, it'll only make people more suspicious.”
"Gu Yin! Don't spout nonsense here!" Shan Yun was so angry that she stood up and took a few steps forward. However, she could only stop in anger because of Xiao Qingying's terror." We are blamed for something that has nothing to do with us. Of course, we are angry!"”
Lin Yilan's eyes lit up as she smiled."" Angry? There are two possibilities. One, I've wronged you. The other..." He stopped on purpose, picked up the tea, blew on it, then turned to Xiao Qingying and asked," Ying, if you did something shameful and I guessed it, what would you say to me in order to escape suspicion?”
Xiao Qingying thought for a moment, then said expressionlessly,""Do you want to be hacked horizontally or vertically?”
Lin Yilan, who was drinking tea, choked when she heard this. She spat out the tea she had just drank. Unfortunately, Shan Yun had just entered her shooting range…
"Ah! Gu Yin! " You…" Lin Yilan's coughing and the woman's sharp and angry cry echoed throughout the entire Sunset Tower.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lin Yilan quickly ran to the woman whose upper body was half wet and whose face was contorted. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the woman's face, but the woman fiercely flung it away. Lin Yilan wasn't annoyed. She walked to the side and took out the candle from the lantern. After lighting it, she returned to Dan Yun's side and pulled her hand to move the candle back and forth.
" What are you doing?!" Dan Yun gritted his teeth and wanted to retract his hand, but Lin Yilan held him back.
"I'm helping you dry your clothes so that people won't say that I'm irresponsible. Although it was a little inconvenient to use candles, it was better than nothing!”While Lin Yilan was drying her clothes, she turned around and complained to Xiao Qingying. However, a mischievous look flashed across her eyes." Ying, do you think everyone is as cruel as you? You want to silence them the moment you're exposed…"
"Ah!"
Before Lin Yilan could finish complaining, another scream pierced her eardrums. Then, she was pushed away forcefully!
Lin Yilan quickly steadied herself and turned around to apologize. However, the smile on her lips was not something that could be ignored."Sorry, sorry! 'I didn't notice that the Fiery Oil must be very hot on my hands.'”
"You! You must have done it on purpose!" Dan Yun glared at Lin Yilan and Xiao Qingying. These two people were really despicable!
"Look, I didn't do anything and you're saying that I did it on purpose. You did indeed give me something. Can't I suspect you?”
"Up to you!" Dan Yun was furious, but he couldn't refute her. He could only hold his breath and sit back in his chair." If you want to doubt me, then doubt me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?”
"That's right. Sister, ignore her. I don't believe that she can find another murderer!”As she had witnessed Dan Yun being played, Ming Yue's heart was at peace. She immediately forgot the previous grudge with her and called her sister very smoothly.
