Chapter 1877: Chapter 1874: Investigation

Ye Muyu sat on the soft couch, pouring herself a cup of tea to relieve the grease.

The taste of the sweet dates was too sweet, but unfortunately, Chu Heng insisted she eat at least three daily to aid her recovery. Even though she didn’t particularly like them, Ye Muyu didn’t refuse and obediently ate them.

"What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Su Mei took out the safety talisman and placed it on the small tea table on the soft couch.

Divided into two piles, it was obvious that the smaller side only contained two safety talismans.

"Are there issues with these two safety talismans?" Ye Muyu had a few guesses in her heart upon seeing her actions, and asked casually.

Su Mei anticipated that Ye Muyu would guess, nodded: "Yes, Doctor Lu said these two safety talismans carry a scent of medicinal herbs called Yuntan Flower from the Southern Border."

"Perhaps it’s due to the small amount; normally you can’t smell it unless it’s heated over an incense burner."

"Doctor Lu also said the scent of Yuntan Flower is naturally light, and it can only be picked up during the production of medicinal herbs. Once it’s dried, the scent disappears entirely."

"So the fact that the safety talismans have this medicinal scent likely means the maker personally had prolonged contact with Yuntan within a short period."

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu immediately understood that Lu Sangqi was warning her that those who came into contact with the safety talismans might have something to do with the Southern Border.

"Go convey the message to Ah Heng." Ye Muyu decisively instructed.

Previously, from Zhu San and others, she knew that Madam Wang and others didn’t generally engage with many people, and the safety talismans were indeed requested from the temple, as Madam Wang went with many wealthy ladies.

Thus, the likelihood of Madam Wang being deceived was very low, considering other wealthy ladies also requested safety talismans.

"By the way, ask Second Sister-in-law which temple these two safety talismans came from."

Ye Muyu lightly instructed, already contemplating elimination in her mind.

Su Mei nodded and quickly went to carry out these tasks.

Chu Heng received the message after having lunch, just as he was preparing to arrange for Bai Lan and Bai Yao to meet.

He was aware of more information than Ye Muyu, and upon hearing this, he understood that perhaps the escaped individuals might have a place to hide in other temples.

He decisively delegated the task of arranging Bai Lan and Bai Yao’s meeting to Xiao Tianhao and took the yamen’s team to the temple himself.

Upon hearing the message, Xiao Tianhao instinctively felt a jolt: "Lord Chu, why don’t I go look for them? You can interrogate the Sacred Girl of Southern Border."

For him, using brains was more challenging than using force.

It’s not that Xiao Tianhao wasn’t smart.

But he knew far less about the medicine from Southern Border, especially not like Chu Heng, who after reading Southern Border’s medical books could remember most content, and based on their conversation and details, could understand their plans. He could even easily avoid being poisoned.

He was accustomed to investigating all information but admitted he was not as insightful as Chu Heng.

Especially in areas he was not skilled in, he always needed more time to verify.

"It’s not feasible; you don’t know what Southern Border’s medicinal herbs look like. Even if the actual person was standing in front of you, you wouldn’t know they were carrying Southern Border’s medicinal herbs." Chu Heng gently shook his head, explaining.

He had also thought about it, but the fact was that he was more suitable.

Xiao Tianhao couldn’t refute his words, reaching out to pat his shoulder: "Then Lord Chu must work hard. I won’t let them try any tricks on my side."
