After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she became a spirit and was punished, and

Xiyu immediately decided to clarify this matter first, "You come back with me to East Third Office."

Although it is impossible to find out who wanted to attack her and caused Harutoki to be implicated, at least we know what trick she fell into so that we can take precautions in the future.

She borrowed the study room in the front yard of East Third Building, left the door open, and called Gao Wuyong and several close people around her into the room.

Not only to let everyone know the truth, but also to avoid suspicion.

"Everyone who knows is here, just tell me directly."

"Yes."

Zhao Kuangsheng took out the cotton and cloth that he had taken out a few days ago from the medicine box, stretched them flat and placed them on the table.

"Fujin, I went back and looked up many ancient books based on Miss Chunshi's symptoms, and finally found that there was nothing wrong with the cotton and fabric. The problem was the embroidery on it."

"embroidered?"

Xiyu picked up the fabric and smelled it, then stroked the delicate pattern with her fingertips. "Isn't this a pattern embroidered with gold thread? What's the problem?"

There was some confusion in her tone. If there were any drug residues on it, she shouldn't be able to smell it.

"This is not ordinary gold thread, but is made of fragrant fins mixed with gold powder."

Seeing everyone's suspicious faces, Zhao Kuangsheng took out a transparent silk thread from the box in the medicine box and showed it to them.

"This is fragrant fin, which is made from the intestines and stomach of a deep-sea fish. The material is tough, colorless and tasteless. However, because this fish is small, hundreds of fish are put together to make a thread like this. It can be said to be extremely rare. At the cheapest time, it can be sold for dozens of taels."

"At first, people living by the sea would use it to make some fine pearl necklaces and sell them to dignitaries. But as time went on, people found that people who wore necklaces made of scent fins for a long time would be troubled by nightmares, which would lead to mental breakdown in the long run, as if they were haunted by evil spirits and in great pain."

“This strange phenomenon has made people stay away from the scentfin, but there are different opinions as to why it has such horrific consequences.

Some people say that it is because the scentfin itself contains some kind of evil power; others believe that it is the resentment of hundreds of fish... Over time, the scentfin began to fade from everyone's sight and only exists in the memories of a few people. "

Everyone sighed, especially Chun Shi, who looked pale and a little scared.

It turned out to be a creature from the deep sea. No wonder she couldn't tell it apart at all. This really touched upon the blind spot of the ginseng clan's knowledge.

Xiyu cut the gold thread on the cloth with scissors. The cross-section was all golden and there was indeed no difference. Presumably, even the embroiderer would not be able to distinguish the gold thread.

She was a little curious. "You just said that the fragrant fin is colorless and odorless, and it can't be seen even if it is mixed with the gold thread. How did you distinguish it?"

Zhao Kuangsheng moved the candle on the table over, picked up the gold thread that Xiyu had just cut, and put it on the flame, "Burn it with fire, and it will smell burnt and fragrant."

As he finished speaking, there really was a burnt aroma that wafted into his nose, and the smell was actually somewhat tempting.

"This smell..."

He crushed the sparks on the gold thread with his fingers and said, "Don't worry, Fu Jin, it won't be poisonous if it ignites."

Chun Shi took a step forward and bowed to him, "Doctor Zhao, you just said that Xiang Fin would take a long time to develop nightmare symptoms, but I started having nightmares on the first night. Why is that?"

Zhao Kuangsheng thought for a moment, "I guess it may be related to the number. There is only one fragrant fin strung into a necklace, and there should be a lot of silk threads on this quilt made of fragrant fins. But the exact number will only be known after they are burned one by one."

"The price of fragrant fins is very high. This one costs dozens of taels. The person behind this is really generous."

Xiyu's eyebrows and eyes were deep and her expression was extremely cold, and her delicate facial features seemed to be covered by a thick layer of frost.

Chunshi and Nanny Su had been with her for so long, but had never seen her like this.

Fu Jin's expression when she was angry was exactly the same as that of the Fourth Master.

"If we must investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid it will be very time-consuming and laborious, so let's put it aside for now. The person behind this is trying so hard to deal with me, and if he fails once, he will definitely try again."

Xiyu picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Zhao. Eunuch Gao, please send Doctor Zhao away."

"Yes."

After Gao Wuyong followed the order and sent Zhao Kuangsheng away, he received a letter from the south.

It said that if Fu Jin had her own plans under control, there was no need to interfere too much and she could just be allowed to do what she wanted. If she couldn't control the development of the situation, she could use people in the dark to handle it.

I think the Fourth Master didn't want to keep Concubine Jin completely protected in a greenhouse, but wanted to let her experience some hardships.

Gao Wuyong burned the letter, took out a pen and paper, explained the situation clearly and sent it out.

After he left, Xiyu did not stay in Yinzhen's study for long and went straight back to Danruoju.

Li and a group of people who claimed to have seen a female ghost had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

As soon as she entered the room, everyone said in unison: "Greetings to the Lady, may the Lady be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Everyone, get up. I asked you all to come here today for no other reason than to ask you about the female ghost."

Xi Yu sat at the head of the table, looking at everyone calmly, "Originally this was just a rumor, and I didn't take it seriously, thinking that rumors stop at wise people, and that this matter would fade away sooner or later and be forgotten by everyone. Who would have thought that it would become more and more outrageous and spread throughout the palace."

After she finished speaking, she set her sights on Li, "Gege Li, you speak first."

Li's expression was originally dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

Suddenly she heard someone calling her, her lifeless eyes brightened up, her eye sockets suddenly turned red, and there seemed to be a mist spreading inside, gradually condensing into crystal clear tears.

Tears overflowed from her eyes and slid down her pale and haggard cheeks, leaving tear marks.

"Fujin, I really saw it with my own eyes last night. I told you because I was scared. I didn't mean to..."

Her lips trembled, and her voice was so soft that it seemed as if it could be blown away by the wind.

Xiyu interrupted her and explained helplessly, "I don't blame you, I just want to know what happened last night."

"It was my misunderstanding."

Li lowered her head in shame and murmured, "Last night...last night I was embroidering with a candle, Jiaobai was accompanying me. As I was embroidering, a gust of wind blew in my face, and then the candle went out. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing."

Having said this, she seemed to have seen the horrific scene again. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and her body trembled continuously.

"I sat on the bed, waiting for Jiaobai to relight the candle, but there was no movement. I called her name several times but no one answered.

I was puzzled, so I had to pick up the fire starter at the bedside and bravely get out of bed to find a candle. But as soon as I stepped on the ground, I saw a person in red hanging from the beam... The belt was floating on my shoulders, exuding a bone-chilling chill, and her hollow eyes were weeping bloody tears..."

Li seemed to not dare to continue speaking. She snuggled in Jiaobai's arms with tears streaming down her face. Her body kept shaking, as if she could no longer bear any more pain and fear.

She sobbed softly, and her cautious look was so touching.
