: It’s easy to hide from an open gun
Ah Qing held Mrs. Du's hand: "Aunt, what are you talking about? I treat Weilan like a younger sister, so her affairs are naturally my affairs;
Don't worry, Chun'er and I have our own carriages, so nothing will happen on the road;
We will bring Miss Du Si back to your house, please don't worry."
Mrs. Du was so moved that her eyelashes filled with tears. She must have thought of her eldest daughter who passed away at a young age. After thanking her again and again, she turned around and went to deal with Du Weilan's affairs with the tenth prince.
Finally, he looked at Du Heng with deep meaning. There seemed to be gratitude in his eyes, but also doubt and confusion.
Du Heng took the initiative to talk to Ah Qing: "Miss Ah Qing, my eldest sister has passed away for a few months. She has passed away. Those who are alive should take care of her."
She could see the deep love between Ah Qing and Du Zhilan. It was precisely because she had also experienced the pain of losing a loved one that she could empathize with Ah Qing.
Ah Qing had tears in her eyes, "It's all lies to say that I'm not sad. I still feel that Zhi Lan is just hiding..."
Her voice was hoarse, and the sorrow in her voice seemed to be magical, making everyone who heard her feel her pain firsthand.
Another girl named Chun'er slowly hugged Ah Qing: "Qingqing, you've been like this for a long time! If you continue like this, you won't be able to stand it anymore!"
Although she said this, she herself was not much better:
Big tears fell uncontrollably on Ah Qing's thin shoulders. Chun'er subconsciously covered her mouth that was open from crying with a handkerchief to prevent her from making any sound.
This scene really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.
Du Heng pulled up the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and patted the two of them:
"Okay, okay, if you keep doing this, I will cry. What's going on with you two? Especially you, Miss Chun'er, you have asthma. Being so sad is not good for your condition..."
Chun'er wiped away her tears, straightened her appearance, raised her eyebrows, and asked strangely: "I don't have asthma? Why do you say that?"
"You don't have asthma, so why do you carry so many calamus with you?" Du Heng asked.
After Du Zhilan's body was found, it was Chun'er who immediately provided enough calamus to bring Du Zhilan back from hell.
At that time, Du Heng guessed that this girl must have asthma, otherwise why would she carry so many calamus with her? Did she think she was wrong?
After listening to her explanation, Chun'er suddenly realized.
"Oh~ are you talking about that sachet? It belongs to Qin Jinshu, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qin. We have a good relationship. I saw her wearing such a sachet that day and felt that the smell was different from what ordinary girls wear, so I asked her
What was inside? She untied it and let me smell it, and said it was filled with calamus.
Before I even asked why the calamus was put there, I heard something had happened to Zhilan...Does Jinshu have asthma?"
Chun'er and Ah Qing looked at each other in confusion. Everyone in the capital knew that Qin Jinshu was a potion, but she was suffering from infertility problems. I hadn't heard that she had asthma? Besides, when asthma attacks, everyone can see it.
.
"Could it be that calamus is also good for other diseases, so she carries it with her everywhere? Is that why, Miss Du Heng, you misunderstood?" Ah Qing said.
Du Heng rejected this answer in his heart. As an in-law, the Lin family knew very well what was wrong with Qin Jinshu. There was indeed no asthma. As for Qin Jinshu's other problems, they might indeed be symptomatic, but calamus alone was useless!
Du Heng was puzzled and had no choice but to give up and leave the tenth prince's mansion with them.
After leaving the house, Du Heng got into Luo Min's car. Luo Min had completely sobered up. She asked the driver to take Du Heng back to the Du Mansion first.
Halfway through the car, the driver suddenly stopped, and immediately two sounds of knocking on the car wall were heard. After waiting for a few seconds, the car curtain was suddenly opened, and Xue Feibai's face as gorgeous as a begonia suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
.
Luo Min was a little stunned. The moonlight that fell in due to the action of opening the curtain illuminated the fine hairs on Xue Feibai's face, but it could not take away the gleaming brilliance that he himself exuded.
He was completely smiling, and Du Heng was the only one at the end of his smiling gaze. Luo Min felt a little sad. When would Zhou Xian be able to see himself like this?
After getting the approval, Xue Feibai leaned forward and walked in. When he walked next to Luo Min, he jumped up excitedly. After touching the roof of the car, he grinned and covered his nose. He said vaguely: "You put so much ylang-ylang on your head."
What?"
Luo Min touched her hair inexplicably: "You said this Yuci hair oil contains ylang-ylang?"
Du Heng also came forward and took a sniff: "It smells very good. It also makes people feel refreshed, clears the liver and improves eyesight. Is there anything wrong with the thing given by the emperor?"
"Of course! What do you two know? The purity of this ylang-ylang is so high. If it gets a little bit of Cnidium monnieri, it will be worse than a cat in heat!" Xue Feibai said as if he was facing an enemy.
Du Heng and Luo Min looked at each other, and both read the fear in each other's eyes - didn't the spices in the Tenth Prince's house contain Cnidoma monnieri? Isn't this the crux of the matter?
"But this was given to me by the Queen. Why did she want to harm me!? And she rewarded a lot of people. Is everyone in danger of... that?" Luo Min bit her lower lip and said helplessly.
Du Heng patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Of course the queen has no reason to harm you. You can just get this oil from other people who have received this reward to compare it;
I think that among the rewards given to you alone, Yilan should be the most added, enough to react with Cnidium monnieri. This should be a game specially made for you——"
Luo Min saw Du Heng's dark gaze, which seemed to be looking into her heart.
If it is really what Du Heng meant, then the Queen is also in the game? Then the tenth prince is the one who is most likely to be the one! Even if he is not the mastermind, he is definitely involved!
This game was done so well that no flaws were revealed at all, and he even looked like the victim! No wonder the maid who took care of her drunken person left quickly because she was afraid that she would stay where she was and make people suspicious of her master!
Luo Min felt like a bottomless pit had been dug out of her heart, and cold wind was pouring into it. Her limbs felt like they were filled with lead. She felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't even lift her fingers.
She had known for a long time that the power struggle in the capital was fierce, but she didn't expect it to be so fierce! Swords and swords, open and hidden arrows, it was impossible to guard against it, both negative and positive.
She is the daughter of the commander-in-chief and knows her own value; but it is precisely because of her value that she is plotted against like an object!
If it hadn't been for tonight's mistake, the person who slept with Zhou Yan was her, Luo Min. She might have been kept in the dark her whole life, and she would still be grateful to Zhou Yan for the rest of her life!
