Over the years, Mu Liuyue has often invited Mu Qingwu to drink tea at Tianxiang Tea House, but the frequency is not high, which does not match the frequency of poisoning.
However, most tea drinkers buy tea from tea houses, and the tea they buy is naturally brewed every day.
The focus was originally on the tea, but after hearing what Mu Qingwu said, Han Yunxi paid more attention.
Mu Qingwu recalled for a moment, and said seriously, "Usually, I would bring back a lot of tea in the past. The tea there is better than other places, and there are many unique varieties."
Han Yunxi nodded thoughtfully. She had checked the tea left by Mu Qingwu at home and the tea sent from the barracks before, and there was no poison.
"Last time, were the tea leaves I checked also bought from Tianxiang Tea House?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Han Yunxi has already asked this question, Mu Qingwu is an idiot if he has not realized that there is something wrong with the tea leaves.
"My lord, do you suspect that they poisoned the tea?" Mu Qingwu asked suspiciously.
"It can only be said that tea cannot be ruled out, and it is much more suspected than other things." Han Yunxi told the truth.
Mu Qingwu frowned handsomely, and pondered seriously. After a while, he explained in detail, "I'm quite picky about tea. The tea in the army is brought over by myself, and some of the tea at home is given by friends. , part of it was brought by Liu Yue."
Mu Qingwu said with a smile, "I don't buy much myself."
Han Yunxi also laughed. Generally speaking, tea drinkers don't buy tea, and tea buyers don't drink tea. Mu Qingwu is a major general, how many people lined up to give him good tea
If the Ten Thousand Snake Venom is not a chronic poison that takes a long time to slowly ingest, it is estimated that they have to find clues in the tea leaves sent by so many people, it will not be that simple. Fortunately, this poisoning has frequency, and they can follow the clue of frequency to find it.
Mu Qingwu knew it without Han Yunxi asking, and he said, "The tea sent by outsiders is not fixed, and it can basically be ruled out..."
When he said this, he was startled. He looked at Han Yunxi suddenly, and his voice became louder without realizing it, "Could it be Liuyue's side?"
Han Yunxi had doubts for a long time, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Now that Mu Qingwu has said it out, she is not polite, "If the problem is really the tea, she is the biggest suspect."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingwu's face turned pale, but he didn't deny anything.
Han Yunxi understood his embarrassment, and said calmly, "Major General, it's all just speculation now, and we have to wait for the tea leaves to be poisoned before we can make further speculations. Of course, I believe that Lingmei has absolutely no intention of murdering you, just afraid... She was being used."
After all, she is her own younger sister. No matter how upright and upright Mu Qingwu is, he still has feelings. After hearing what Han Yunxi said, he raised his head again, "Don't worry, Madam Wang, I will do my best to cooperate with your investigation."
With these words, Han Yunxi was relieved. She poured tea for Mu Qingwu herself, and continued to ask, "Major General, think about it carefully. Is there any tea at home that hasn't been inspected?"
Mu Qingwu didn't think about it, he was sure, "No."
"The tea that I drank before, do you still keep the jar?" Han Yunxi asked again, her delicate brows were always slightly furrowed, just like her expression of detoxification, very strict.
Mu Qingwu was still shaking his head. He had high requirements for the tea leaves. Most of the time, the tea leaves would be thrown away before they were finished, because even if they were well preserved, the tea leaves would still lose their flavor after being left for a long time.
"Then, how long will the major general drink a can of tea?" Han Yunxi asked curiously.
"This is not necessarily the case. Different tea leaves have different storage methods and time. The longest time is two months, and the shortest is more than ten days." Mu Qingwu answered truthfully.
Han Yunxi nodded, remembering it in her heart, and then asked, "Does the major general remember the tea leaves sent by your sister, what kind of tea are most of them, and where did they come from?"
Now that this line has been determined, of course we must pursue it closely, not letting go of any possibility.
Mu Qingwu replied as he recalled, "There are quite a lot of tea varieties, but she will bring all the new teas in spring, summer and autumn, and occasionally some scented tea."
"Scented tea?" Han Yunxi was puzzled. Only women would drink scented tea. Strictly speaking, scented tea does not belong to tea.
Seeing Han Yunxi's suspicion, Mu Qingwu knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "It should be called flower-scented green tea. The natural aroma of flowers is used to smoke the tea leaves, so that the tea leaves have a floral fragrance, and it will have more floral fragrance after brewing."
As soon as these words came out, Han Yunxi became alert. Undoubtedly, the scent of this scented tea can hide the smell of many poisons.
"Does the major general remember what kind of drinks he often drinks?" Han Yunxi asked.
Mu Qingwu thought for a while, asked for a pen and paper, and wrote down all the tea varieties that Mu Liuyue had sent, and he remembered, so that the writing was clear at a glance.
Among the tea leaves that Mu Liuyue sent, green tea was the most, followed by floral green tea, black tea was the least, and white tea and black tea only once or twice.
"How long can green tea and floral green tea be preserved?" Han Yunxi continued to ask.
"Green tea lasts for more than a month. If it is well preserved, it can last for one and a half months. Floral green tea can last for two months." Mu Qingwu replied.
From this point of view, judging from the frequency of poisoning, the target is locked on green tea and floral green tea.
A smile appeared on Han Yunxi's lips, and she asked, "Did Lingmei buy all these teas from Tianxiang Tea House?"
Mu Qingwu nodded, "Most of them come from Tianxiang Tea House, and there are Tianxiang Tea House logos on the tea pots. However, there are often some without logos, which should be given to her by others."
Someone sent it? This matter is more troublesome.
Han Yunxi wasn't in a hurry, she searched for clues one by one. She looked outside and saw that it was getting late. It would be dark when she went out to Tianxiang Tea House at this time.
"Major General, how about we go to Tianxiang Tea House tomorrow morning?"
"Everything is arranged by the concubine." Mu Qingwu is still very easy to discuss. Even if there are many affairs in the army, he does not dare to delay this matter. Firstly, it is related to his own wealth and life, and secondly, His Royal Highness King Qin is watching...
After making an appointment for tomorrow's departure, Mu Qingwu left. However, Han Yunxi was not idle.
"Green tea... floral green tea..."
Muttering to herself, she burrowed into the study and didn't come out until it was dark.
Zhao mama wandered around the door of the study several times, hesitating whether to knock on the door, this master, but he didn't eat breakfast, noon or three meals!
It was getting dark, and it was almost past meal time, Zhao Mama couldn't help it, and brought the meal to the door.
Zhao Nanny was about to knock on the door, but Long Feiye came in.
Seeing this, Zhao Mama put the food aside, quickly walked over, and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness."
Long Feiye was full of travel and dust, and he was probably busy all day long. He glanced at the room, his tone was indifferent, and his words were like gold, "Where is the person?"
Zhao Momo clearly knew who he was asking, but deliberately pretended to be stupid, "His Highness asked... but the princess?"
Long Feiye's voice suddenly became colder, but it was still the simple two words, "Where's the person?"
How dare Zhao Momo pretend to be stupid, and quickly replied, "The princess is in the study."
Zhao Momo thought he would pass by, and was about to talk about the dinner, but Long Feiye threw a bag of things casually, and said in a very bad tone, "Give it to her, tell her to take care of it, this is not something that can be thrown away thing."
It was a piece of brocade cloth wrapped in a bunch of small things. Mother Zhao held it in her hand, and she sneaked around but didn't know what was inside.
Of course, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she answered, "Yes."
Long Feiye seemed to want to confess something, but he curled his lips and got up to leave without saying anything after all.
"Your Highness, stop!" Zhao Momo hurriedly called out.
When Long Feiye looked over, he didn't even open his mouth. He really cherishes words like gold!
Zhao Momo has long been used to it, a snicker flashed in her eyes, and she said seriously, "Your Highness, it's getting late, why don't you have dinner here?"
"No need." Long Feiye refused without even thinking about it. Except for necessary banquets, he has never had the habit of eating with others. Even with Concubine Yi, he often declined.
However, Mother Zhao sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, the princess has been in the study all day, and she hasn't eaten three meals a day. I can't persuade you, maybe, what the prince said, Princess Wangfei can listen to it."
Displeasure flashed across Long Feiye's deep eyes, and he glanced at the study with the door closed.
Zhao Momo has served His Highness for many years and knows his temper well. He must have thought, otherwise he would have left long ago.
Zhao Mama unconsciously began to look forward to it, but who knew that Long Feiye looked at it for a long time, and then said coldly, "It's her business not to eat, it has nothing to do with this king, and there is no need to report this matter in the future."
This…
Well, Mammy Zhao was not surprised, but a little disappointed.
But who knew, just as Long Feiye finished speaking, the door of the study room opened suddenly with a "babble".
I saw Han Yunxi walking out with no expression on her face.
Where has she been in the study all day? She's been sleeping most of the day today, okay
She didn't eat three meals a day, did she forget when she got busy
She has never been someone who treats herself badly. As soon as she feels hungry, she immediately goes out to find something to eat. Who knew that just as she was about to open the door, she heard Zhao Momo "complaining" and then heard Long Feiye's ruthless and ruthless voice. righteous words.
This impersonal soul!
When Han Yunxi came out suddenly, both Nanny Zhao and Long Feiye were a little surprised. Nanny Zhao was extremely embarrassed, for fear that what she just said would be exposed.
However, Han Yunxi wasn't that boring. Her feet were still hurting a bit. She limped over and said, "Your Highness."
"Um."
Squeezing out the word from the corner of his stiff mouth, Long Feiye frowned, not knowing what he was feeling uncomfortable about.
Han Yunxi flattened her body, turned around and asked, "Mother Zhao, I'm hungry, let's pass on the meal."
As she spoke, she walked to the side hall without even looking at Long Feiye.
Long Feiye frowned again. Seeing this, Zhao Mama couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and didn't dare to say anything, so she could only lower her head and slip away to deliver the food.
Long Feiye was just left hanging in the living room with no one to entertain him.
Mother Zhao was carrying the delicious food, she didn't dare to pass by him, so she made a detour to send it to the side hall.
Han Yunxi was so hungry that she started eating as soon as the food was delivered.
Who knows, after eating a few mouthfuls, something wrapped in brocade cloth was thrown from the outside and fell right in front of her.
She turned her head and saw Long Feiye walking in with that icy face still sullen.
