Chapter 891: Crossdressing: Crown highness’ slight pampering (Part 23)
Ning’er saw the situation wasn’t right, so she trembled. She quickly knelt down and cried, “Ning’er…..Ning’er doesn’t remember.”
Luo Jin Yan quickly said in a soft voice, “Qing’er, Ning’er should have gotten these flowers from the housekeeper. It should have been around half a month ago when she first came!”
“Yes……Second miss, these flowers were given to Ning’er by the housekeeper!” She cried out even louder like she had suddenly found a backer, “Ning’er…..Ning’er doesn’t know what she did wrong. For the second miss to treat Ning’er like this…..Ning’er……”
Luo Qing Chen ignored her as she slowly stood up and looked at the counter.
“Qing Chen.” Seeing her stand up, Qian Ye An pulled at her sleeve, “What are you doing?”
This was his first time seeing such ice cold eyes from her. She was very powerful when she was hitting someone.
But this was her first dinner since coming back, so why did he feel that something was about to happen before they even started eating?
“Don’t pull on me, or you will be an enemy.,” Her eyes had never left the desk when she said this, but Qian Ye An knew that she meant it.
He felt like he lost all his strength and his hand slipped down.
She came to the table and slowly raised the incense. After sniffing it, there was a faint mint scent that hit her nose.
“Second miss, those are mint leaves…..” Ning’er’s face was especially nervous when she stood up. She unconsciously stretched out her when she picked up the incense.
She didn’t feel the mint scent was familiar, but she knew she had seen this incense before.
She lifted it up slightly and closed her eyes, as memories kept flashing in front of her.
Ten seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the orchid by the window. Looking at the ashes from the incense, there was killing intent that flashed in her eyes.
The incense was a bonus in the auction at the Drunken Moon House, the main item was the Sleeping Wonder Illusion Mint Leaf.
The Illusion Mint Leaf had an effect for helping with sleeping, but all medicine had advantages and disadvantages. The Illusion Mint Leaf were grown in the swamps to the south and were hard to cultivate, so there weren’t many of them.
Therefore, they were treasures of the south and were popular in the capital.
She didn’t listen to the host talking about the taboos of the Illusion Mint Leaf, the only thing she remembered was that because of the planting conditions, they couldn’t come in contact with orchids.
Otherwise these two harmless things would come together to form a terrifying poison, the Mint Illusion Orchid.
Long term exposure led to mind numbing, cold hands, weakness, and eventually death from respiratory failure.
It seemed like she wasn’t the only one from the Luo Family at the auction. If she hadn’t recognized this incense, she wouldn’t have figured out how Luo Jin Yan was poisoned.
“Mint leaves?” Luo Qing Chen took the incense and slowly came in front of Ning’er, looking at her with an ice cold gaze, “Are you certain that’s its name?”
Qian Ye An took the incense from her hand and sniffed it before saying, “It should be mint leaves, but it’s a bit strange.”
Incense made of mint leaves shouldn’t have such a strong cent, this was something that all the young misses and young masters of large houses knew.
“Yes……Yes……Ning’er……Ning’er is certain.” Ning’er clearly couldn’t hold on. Her face was very pale and her fingers had started trembling.
