The Queen's Secret

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

After Qi Yuxin returned to the old case room, Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan asked in unison, "How is the situation?"

Qi Yu smiled heartily, and smiled when seeing the eagerness of the two.

"Yu Xin, stop laughing, just say it!"

Lin Qingxuan saw Qi Yuxin smiling slightly, and felt that Qi Yuxin was really getting more and more popular.

"'Tianxiang Guose' is probably one of the fragrances, and the two maids recognized this fragrance."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan immediately said: "I went to the imperial hospital today, they said that many things can be mixed together to make incense, as long as that person is very familiar with the use of incense."

Qi Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "Well... I guess, this person is very likely to be the blender of Tianxiang Pavilion, only the blender has such ability..."

From the moment the maids recognized Tianxiang Guose, Qi Yu suspected that the murderer might not be the person in the front hall, but the behind-the-scenes concoction master.

"Then let's ask tomorrow who is the master craftsman behind the scenes?"

Meng Gan asked, "Qi Yuxin nodded. I am really tired today. I have been wandering around the capital for a long time, and Qi Yuxin really can't stand it after spending a lot of energy for several days.

In the past, there were many people in the team, the tasks were small, and there were not many places to go, and the physical strength could still last. Now there are fewer people and a heavy workload. Now it is really necessary to practice physical strength.

"And, do you remember? Huang Lanzhi said, that man doesn't smell bad, maybe because he touched the incense, so he has a scent on him."

Qi Yuxin began to deduce Huang Lanzhi's words, first he said that the smelly man, and then he said that he is not smelly, probably because he has a scent on his body...

"Remember, that's why..."

Lin Qingxuan began to connect all the clues. It seemed that the target had already been figured out. He just looked at the sky, and it was already dusk.

"Menggan..."

Qi Yu called out to Meng Gan, and Meng Gan understood immediately, and said with a smile, "I should go!"

Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan looked at each other and smiled. Looking at the back of Meng Gan leaving, Lin Qingxuan said, "This kid is getting smarter and smarter."

"After all, if he leaves late, he is afraid that there will be some rumors in the old case room. It is probably inappropriate for men and women not to kiss each other."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan nodded and said, "Well, Meng Gan is still very careful."

Lin Qingxuan and Qi Yuxin went back to rest after dinner, but Qi Yuxin was lying on the bed feeling a little disappointed...

Why lost?

Qi Yu sighed inwardly, and when he closed his eyes, Zhao Muyan's enchanting but not vulgar face appeared in his mind, walking towards him step by step with a half-smile but not a smile...

The next day, Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan came out of the old case room again. After some inquiries, they found a fact that disappointed Qi Yuxin...

The brewers of Tianxiang Pavilion are all women, and they are not often in the capital. Only when they are needed, the proprietress will write to let them come.

When Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan came back, they both looked like they had lost the battle. Qi Yuxin clutched her temples... Could it be that he was wrong?

"What? It's not going well?"

Lin Qingxuan saw the sad faces of the two, poured them a cup of tea, and let them relax.

"The brewers are all women. Except for the proprietress, the rest are not often in the capital, they are all from outside the city."

Meng Gan shook his head, picked up his teacup and drank it down in one gulp, as if he wanted to wash away the boredom in his heart.

"What the hell am I... missing..."

Qi Yuxin sighed, covered his temples and frowned, Lin Qingxuan tried to ease the atmosphere, and said, "Yu Xin, the wrinkles between your brows can kill flies."

When Meng Gan heard it, he laughed out loud, but after Qi Yu heard it, he immediately stretched out and smiled.

"Until this case is settled, these summer flies must be careful."

After hearing this, Lin Qingxuan and Meng Gan couldn't help laughing, it was rare for Qi Yuxin to make such a joke, it really made people laugh.

Knock Knock...

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the knock on the door, only to find that it was Li'er from Fengxi Palace.

"Arrest the director together, the empress is here to invite you."

Qi Yu's heart skipped a beat. She felt a little hopeful, a little nervous, and a little uneasy...it was complicated.

"Why did the Empress look for you again, Sister Yu Yuxin..."

Meng Gan scratched the back of his head, wondering why Zhao Muyan often summoned Qi Yuxin.

"Probably want to hear the progress of the case."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she frowned slightly, then turned to Li'er and said, "Miss Li'er, please wait a moment."

Qi Yu sighed inwardly. She didn't know how long she would stay here, so she ordered Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan to write down and sort out today's investigation results first.

After Qi Yu carefully arranged everything, she followed Li'er to Fengxi Palace.

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.

Qi Yuxin came to Fengxi Palace again, feeling anxious...

As always, Zhao Muyan filled the table with Qi Yuxin's favorite meals, and Qi Yuxin raised his eyes to look at the dishes on the table, feeling a little happy in his heart.

"See the Empress."

Qi Yuxin clasped his hands together, Zhao Muyan raised his eyes to look at Qi Yuxin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, all the depression in the past few days was swept away...

This person is indeed his own good medicine...

"Flat body."

"Thank you madam."

Qi Yu stood up straight, Zhao Muyan glanced at her, and said, "Sit."

In the past, Qi Yuxin would talk about other things about the monarch and his ministers, but now she doesn't mind so much when she is acquainted once and twice.

"Yu Xin, haven't you eaten yet?"

Zhao Muyan asked the guards at the south gate to keep an eye on Qi Yuxin's daily return to the old case room, and when he came back, Zhao Muyan sent Li'er to find someone to come over.

"Not yet."

Qi Yu replied honestly, while Zhao Muyan raised his hand and said, "Then eat!"

Zhao Muyan didn't speak, and Qi Yuxin naturally had nothing to say. Although Zhao Muyan asked her to take the initiative in life, it would not happen overnight. Qi Yuxin really didn't know what to say.

The meal was finished quietly, and Zhao Muyan wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I heard that you have been busy with the case these days."

Zhao Muyan raised his eyes and looked at every inch of skin on Qi Yuxin's face. Probably because he was walking outside recently, the originally white skin was also stained with a healthy wheat color, which was not obvious, but Zhao Muyan really paid attention to it Qi Yu was heartbroken, and she could see this little change.

"Well... investigating a case..."

Speaking of the case, Qi Yuxin frowned. Unconsciously, especially after today's investigation, she always felt that she guessed right, but why the result was not what she wanted.

Seeing Qi Yuxin's frowning, Zhao Muyan knew that Qi Yuxin had encountered difficulties in the case...

It's just that she didn't speak immediately, but stretched her finger between Qi Yuxin's eyebrows. Qi Yuxin subconsciously wanted to hide, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhao Muyan's beautiful eyes like a whirlpool. She actually froze, letting the cool fingertips fall between her brows, smoothing away the wrinkled wrinkles little by little.

"I don't like your frowning."

Zhao Muyan sighed softly, and saw that the wrinkle was smoothed out by himself, so he withdrew the fingertip, while Qi Yuxin stood still. This is not the first time Zhao Muyan did this to him, but every time he comes into contact with Zhao Muyan, There will always be a place in my heart that starts to tingle, then spreads all over the body, and finally turns into the slightest sweetness on the tip of the tongue...

"But what's wrong with the case?"

Zhao Muyan withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked up at Qi Yuxin, and waited for her answer.

After thinking about it, Qi Yu decided to tell Zhao Muyan her doubts, and briefly explained the case from beginning to end...

After hearing this, Zhao Muyan frowned slightly, and took a sip of his tea...

"You said... the men those women saw covered their faces, and they were drugged and unconscious at the time?"

Zhao Muyan asked carefully, but Qi Yu listened intently, thought carefully for a while, then nodded, not daring to be vague at all.

"Yes."

"You said... the men's blood was not found in the bodies of those victims, and there was no blood around them?"

"Yes."

Qi Yuxin still nodded,

Zhao Muyan folded his hands on his chest, smacked his arm with his fingers, and continued to ask: "You said... that man should have a scent?"

"...um, yes."

Qi Yu seemed to have seen a breakthrough, but before she could figure it out, Zhao Muyan smiled.

"Yu Xin, do you know that women and women can also practice the ritual of husband and wife?"

When Qi Yu heard this, her face turned red, she bit her lips tightly, her heart beat a little faster, woman and woman...she looked up at Zhao Muyan, saw her bright red lips, that slender and white neck...

Throat involuntarily slipped up and down...

"I don't know..."

Qi Yuxin has always only known the harmony of yin and yang, and the union of men and women. It was not until the matter of Ling Xian and Wu Chen that she realized that there is true love between the same sex. Now Zhao Muyan even told herself...

Between a woman and a woman... it is possible to be a husband and wife...

These words once again refreshed Qi Yuxin's cognition... She really doesn't know much about men and women, and about feelings. Besides, she didn't have a mother since she was a child, and Tao Mingyi wouldn't talk about such things. Of course I don't know much.

"Then I will tell you... Women and women can also be husband and wife... It can be replaced by... some objects, or it can be used..."

Zhao Muyan reached out and took Qi Yuxin's palm. While the man was astonished, he brushed Qi Yuxin's slender and well-articulated fingers inch by inch with his fingertips...

"finger…"

Qi Yu was startled, and immediately withdrew her hand. The place Zhao Muyan touched just now felt itchy, and even her heart felt itchy from being scratched by a cat. She was very uncomfortable, and her face seemed to be burning. .

"Since there is no male blood nearby, the assailant is masked, and the victim is unconscious, why did Yu Xin conclude that the assailant must be a man?"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking with a straight face, her heart was actually itchy, especially when she saw Qi Yuxin's blushing face, she couldn't wait to rub her into her arms...

After Qi Yu listened, she looked up at Zhao Muyan, unable to recover for a long time...

This is what she missed...Because the victim kept saying that the assailant was a man...I preconceived that the person was a man...

However, according to various evidences...the perpetrator may also be a woman...
