Walking to a deserted garden path, Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly and tried to appear calm.
Fu Lie, who was walking beside her, looked straight ahead with a straight face.
Because he could clearly hear the heartbeats of the two people touching each other.
Turns out he wasn't the only one nervous.
In the past, when the two of them were together, they always got together because of various things to discuss.
But today, they came without any purpose.
Walking to the middle of the road, Wen Qingzhu quietly peeked over.
Unexpectedly, Fu Lie felt something immediately and looked sideways the next second.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu felt his face heat up, and then immediately turned his head to the other side.
Unknowingly, Wen Qingzhu quickened his pace.
Fu Lie immediately adjusted his speed and kept walking side by side with her.
A step suddenly appeared in front of him, but Wen Qingzhu didn't notice it and walked forward quickly.
Fu Lie immediately stretched out his hand, weakly supported Wen Qingzhu's shoulders, and reminded: "Be careful of the steps!"
Suddenly hearing his voice, Wen Qingzhu stopped suddenly.
I glanced forward nervously, and there was indeed a step.
Wen Qingzhu cursed himself secretly: He is so worthless!
However, in reality, she said as quietly as a mosquito: "Thank you."
This sudden thank you made Fu Lie stunned and stunned.
Seeing Fu Lie's reaction from the corner of his eye, Wen Qingzhu secretly regretted it: It's true! What thanks!
With such a divergence, Wen Qingzhu once again ignored the steps in front of him.
After taking two steps, he stepped forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet were free, Wen Qingzhu's body fell forward uncontrollably.
Fu Lie tiptoed almost out of reflex, stepped forward quickly, reached out and blocked Wen Qingzhu's waist.
Because it was before and after the steps, Fu Lie hugged her and took a step forward. When he reached the ground, he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu's face turned red instantly.
He reminded me just now, why did he still miss the mark
At this moment, at the corner not far ahead, a maid carrying tea appeared.
When she saw Wen Qingzhu, she had not yet reacted.
When she saw Fu Lie, he was the Marquis of Pingguo!
The maid lowered her head without hesitation, said sorry and turned around to leave.
Wen Qingzhu almost wanted to dig a hole and bury himself, but he struggled gently and found that Fu Lie had no intention of letting go.
She could only whisper: "Your hands..."
Fu Lie immediately let go of his hand and wanted to explain something, but found that Wen Qingzhu had already walked forward.
Just as he reached the corner, Wen Qingzhu suddenly smelled a strange smell.
After stopping suddenly, Wen Qingzhu squatted down and looked at a water mark on the bluestone.
Thinking back to what happened just now, it seemed that the maid had spilled it when she turned around.
She sniffed it carefully and found that the tea contained -
"What's wrong?" Fu Lie rushed over and saw Wen Qingzhu squatting on the ground.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at the direction in which the maid was retreating, and said in a low voice, "That maid's tea was filled with medicine."
Wen Qingzhu stood up. The smell of this medicine was very light.
But her sense of smell was very sensitive, and she followed the smell all the way forward.
Fu Lie followed her and asked, "Poison? Or something else?"
"It's similar to the medicine you were given last time. It doesn't do any harm to the human body." Wen Qingzhu walked faster and faster, and soon walked out of the small garden.
After exiting the moon gate, she saw two forked roads.
It happened that there was a housekeeper mother leading a few women on the path on the left, walking towards this direction.
When they walked in, Wen Qingzhu reached out to stop the mother in charge and pointed to the way they came from: "What's over there?"
The mother in charge knew Wen Qingzhu and respectfully replied, "It's the old lady's small kitchen."
Wen Qingzhu rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "I'm thirsty. Can you send someone to take me over there to make a pot of tea?"
"It's better for me to send someone to bring it here for you." The mother in charge thought that she herself had failed to provide good hospitality.
Wen Qingzhu saw her worry: "It's nothing. The tea I drank today feels good. I want to go over and see what the tea is."
The mother in charge was doubtful and arranged for the women to leave first. She took Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie to the kitchen.
Arriving in the yard, Wen Qingzhu smelled a light and elegant fragrance.
Looking along the scent, I found freshly picked honeysuckle on the bamboo strip drying rack in the courtyard.
Usually honeysuckle tea is used as medicine, which is very good for the body.
But when combined with that tea, it will produce quite a bit of toxicity.
Wen Qingzhu immediately quickened his pace and even arrived at the house ahead of his mother.
She quickly glanced around the room and walked directly towards the place where the tea was made.
Looking at the several kettles for boiling water in front of me, I found that each kettle seemed to have its own specifications.
Wen Qingzhu opened it one by one. After opening the third kettle, he immediately smelled a residual smell.
She turned around and asked her mother in charge: "Who is this kettle specially prepared for?"
The mother in charge was frightened and looked at this strange kettle. For a moment, she didn't know who used it exclusively.
A fire girl behind her cautiously reminded: "Didn't Mr. Su come here to propose marriage today? This is the ice-cracked kettle that the old lady took out from the warehouse, specially prepared for Mr. Su."
"What!" Wen Qingzhu's breath stopped and he stared at the kettle.
Who wants to frame the Zhou family
If something happens here in Suhuo, the Zhou family may be beaten back to its original state this time after it was hard to turn around.
"You, and you!" Wen Qingzhu immediately pointed to the mother in charge and the girl who was lighting the fire, "Take down this teapot and follow me to the old lady's place!"
"I'll do it." Fu Lie directly opened the sleeve of his right hand and picked up the exquisite kettle.
Within a quarter of an hour, the two people arrived at Mrs. Zhou's side.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I found that the house was quiet.
Looking up, he saw a maid kneeling in the middle of the hall, trembling all over.
After walking in, Su Huo turned around and saw the kettle in Fu Lie's hand.
"Did you also find it over there?" Su Huo came over and Fu Lie handed him the cold kettle.
Su Huo opened the lid and smelled the residual smell in the kettle.
"Sure enough, someone did something."
Seeing that both Su Huo and Zhou Yi were fine, Su Huo even grabbed the maid who brought tea.
Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud. How could she forget that Su Huo was a master in investigating crimes.
Not long ago, he helped secretly investigate Fu Lie's drugging in Jingping Palace.
Although it was not poison, that time was also the trigger for Wen Qingzhu to be imprisoned.
After sitting down, Su Huo began to interrogate the maid.
Everyone in the Zhou family was sitting around. Su Huo came over to propose marriage, but found out about this. If it reached His Majesty's ears, it would be really...
Mrs. Zhou has left. The three men of the Zhou family are in charge of the overall situation here.
After Wen Qingzhu listened for a while, he felt that this maid probably didn't know much.
Thinking of what happened to Fu Lie last time, Wen Qingzhu felt strange that he could attack in the palace and reach out to the Zhou family.
"Master Su, I need to leave here first."
Fu Lie also stood up, said goodbye and left.
After walking out of the house, Wen Qingzhu asked Fu Lie, "Did you think it was weird last time?"
"What happened when I fainted after eating that jade belt cake?"
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were solemn and he nodded.
Fu Lie thought over and over what happened that day, and checked the remaining pastries, but found nothing unusual at all.
So I can only shake my head.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie went directly out of the front door of Zhou's house.
I accidentally glanced over and saw Pei Zhixuan lowering the car curtain.
"It's her!" Wen Qingzhu whispered.
Fu Lie immediately said: "I'll stop them!"
Before Wen Qingzhu could answer, Fu Lie's figure flashed and he was next to the carriage in an instant, making the driver jump.
"Miss Pei, can you get out of the car and talk for a while?" Fu Lie asked respectfully.
Pei Zhixuan opened the car curtain, looked at Fu Lie and said, "What's the matter? I just happened to be passing by. I heard that Mr. Su came to the Zhou family to propose marriage today, so I just took a second look."
Before, Wen Qingzhu told him that Pei Zhixuan liked Soho.
The most important thing is that Su Huo was injured before the thieves forced the palace, precisely because Pei Zhixuan used the girl from Qingyuge to assassinate Zhou Yi.
Su Huo was seriously injured because he was trying to protect Zhou Yi.
Not long after, Pei Zhixuan got out of the car.
Wen Qingzhu, who was standing in front of Zhou's house, felt relieved. Since Pei Zhixuan was willing to get out of the car, there was a high probability that it wouldn't be her.
Pei Zhixuan came to the door and glanced inside the door subconsciously.
Wen Qingzhu knew it well and said directly: "Master Su was poisoned in the Zhou family."
Pei Zhixuan's expression tensed up, but she quickly concealed her nervousness.
"How could this happen? Does the Zhou family dislike him?"
Pei Zhixuan pretended to be cool and calm, but Wen Qingzhu had already seen through it.
She smiled: "No, it wasn't the Zhou family."
After saying that, he looked directly at Pei Zhixuan.
"Do you suspect it's me?" Pei Zhixuan clenched her fists. She had indeed impulsively wanted to murder Zhou Yi.
But Su Huo, she would never take action.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "I don't doubt Miss Pei, I'm just curious. Miss Pei clearly wants to see Mr. Su. Since we are all here at Zhou's house, we might as well go in and have a look together."
The maid next to Pei Zhixuan couldn't help but want to speak, but Pei Zhixuan stretched out her hand to stop her.
She turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Since Miss Wen sincerely wants to invite you, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
Wen Qingzhu's smile deepened. Pei Zhixuan, such a pure, noble and dignified beauty, could lose control one day.
Rather than letting her brood all the time, it's better to cut her off completely now.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and took Pei Zhixuan to find Su Huo.
At this time, Zhou Sang and the others took the suspect away to investigate the matter.
Su Huo stayed with Zhou Yi at Zhou's house.
They happened to walk out of Mrs. Zhou's yard and saw Wen Qingzhu and Pei Zhixuan walking over.
Su Huo immediately stopped and subconsciously reached out to protect Zhou Yi behind him.
Although it was just a small movement, in Pei Zhixuan's eyes, this movement clearly meant that Su Huo was already on guard against her.
What happened last time was really an accident, if that woman hadn't bewitched me!
Pei Zhixuan gritted her teeth and tried to calm down.
But her heart was still aching.
After the two parties met, Pei Zhixuan was still the most polite and beautiful woman in the capital.
Every move is a joy to watch.
"Master Su, Miss Zhou."
Su Huo glanced at Wen Qingzhu, not quite understanding what she meant.
But even though Pei Zhixuan is here, she still needs to have the proper etiquette.
"Miss Pei."
Zhou Yi knew that the last assassination was related to Pei Zhixuan, but she came so calmly today, and her mood was very complicated for a while.
Of course, she also knew that Pei Zhixuan liked Su Huo.
"Miss Pei."
After both parties finished greetings, they were speechless.
Wen Qingzhu took in all the changes in Pei Zhixuan's eyes just now.
Seeing them looking at each other in silence, he smiled and said, "Miss Pei happened to be passing by just now. I thought you all knew her, so I brought her in to meet you."
