On the other side, the fourth princess was about to take a rest after washing up. Suddenly she heard the door creaking, and Ruan Wanwan in a black cloak appeared at the door, which startled the fourth princess.

"Wanwan? It turns out it's you. Why are you dressed like this in the middle of the night?"

Ruan Wanwan untied the tie around his neck, took off his cloak, and gently placed the flower pot in his hand on the table.

The fourth princess was even more surprised: "He even held a pot of such weird flowers."

Ruan Wanwan said: "You also think it's weird, right?"

The fourth princess heard the profound meaning in her words and studied the words carefully for a while, but could not see anything unusual.

"It's not weird, it's just a bit brighter in color, but nothing else is special. Where did this flower come from?"

"I just quietly entered the palace and saw the Queen. This flower was taken from her palace."

The fourth princess was surprised again: "Didn't the Emperor say that no one is allowed to visit the Queen without his permission? How did you get in?"

Ruan Wanwan briefly told her the whole story, and then said: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this pot of flowers, and I can't find the problem for a while. Why don't you help me take a look."

The fourth princess finally understood what was going on and asked, "Are you suspecting that someone wants to poison the queen?"

Ruan Wanwan carefully inspected the flowerpot, nodded and said, "It's very possible."

The Fourth Princess also came forward and was about to take a closer look when suddenly a strange smell came into her nose.

"This flower...why does it smell like some herbs?"

The words of the Fourth Princess reminded Ruan Wanwan, and she suddenly thought that the Fourth Princess had studied medicine and knew some pharmacology.

"In your opinion, where does the smell of these herbs come from?"

The fourth princess looked through the branches and leaves, and dug a little soil into her nails. The more she checked like this, the more surprised she became.

"It seems that someone really wants to take this opportunity to harm the Queen."

Ruan Wanwan's expression became serious and she said, "Put this flower in your room tonight. You can check it for me and see what's weird about it."

Needless to say, the fourth princess had already had this intention and agreed immediately.

Ruan Wanwan went to bed restlessly, hoping that there would be something wrong with the potted flower, but also hoping that it would be fine. He struggled all night and did not sleep well.

At dawn, I finally felt a little sleepy, but there was a knock on the door outside.

She had no choice but to get up and open the door with two huge dark circles under her eyes. The fourth princess stood outside with a very serious look on her face, holding a pot of red flowers in her hands.

"The test results are out."

Ruan Wanwan suddenly lost all sleep, pulled the fourth princess into the room, and closed the doors and windows.

"I checked last night and there was indeed something wrong with that potted flower."

As the fourth princess spoke, she took out a paper bag from her sleeve, which contained some unknown medicinal materials with some soil on them. It looked like they were dug out of the flowerpot last night.

"This thing is called sea buckthorn grass. It comes from the Western Region. If it is combined with other medicinal materials, it can save lives and cure diseases. But if it appears alone, it can be a fatal poison."

Ruan Wanwan carefully observed the pile of medicinal materials, wanting to touch them, but was concerned about their toxicity.

The fourth princess saw her scruples: "It's okay to come into direct contact with the skin. Its toxicity is mainly spread by smell."

He continued: "There is nothing wrong with that potted flower. It's just that someone put some crushed sea buckthorn grass in the soil where the flowers were planted. After the palace maids watered the flowers, the sea buckthorn grass in the soil would absorb the water and emit a burst of water.

Fragrance, this fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of flowers and is not easy to detect."

"They want the Queen to smell this poison every day and kill her slowly."

She didn't need to continue talking, Ruan Wanwan already understood what was going on.

The fourth princess was a little frightened. In all her years of contact with medicinal materials, this was the first time she encountered such a live case of using medicinal materials to kill someone.

"Yes, the amount of sea buckthorn in the flower pot is not large, so it will not arouse suspicion. At first, people who smell the smell will suffer from mental fatigue, drowsiness and other problems. As time goes by, they will gradually become weaker and weaker.

People also become stupid, confused, and even crazy. By the time they are discovered, they are already terminally ill and unable to save themselves. Even if Hua Tuo is alive, he cannot be saved."

The more Ruan Wanwan listened, the angrier she became, and she clenched her fists tightly: "They are too cruel, they actually came up with such a vicious way to deal with the Queen."

The fourth princess sighed: "Yes, the Queen is getting older now and her health is not as good as before. If we don't find the clues in the flower pot today, when something happens to the Queen, everyone will only think that it is her own problem.

.and will not doubt others.”

Ruan Wanwan thought of a question: "Is there no antidote for this sea buckthorn grass?"

The fourth princess said: "If the poisoning is not deep, you can treat it slowly. If it is too late, it will be completely hopeless."

She held Ruan Wanwan's hand and said with some fear: "Fortunately, you were thoughtful and moved the flower pot back last night, otherwise, we might have been kept in the dark."

The Queen was murdered, which was a big deal. The fourth princess had never encountered such a thing before, and she had already lost her mind.

"Wanwan, what are you going to do? Should we report this matter to the emperor?"

Although Ruan Wanwan was also very scared and worried, after all, her psychological quality was better than that of the fourth princess, and she had not yet reached the point of losing her mind.

She thought for a while and shook her head at the fourth princess: "I must tell the emperor, but not now."

"But... we can't delay it any longer. If the queen often has this thing in her room, her body will be seriously damaged."

Ruan Wanwan lowered her head, thought seriously for a while, and said: "Don't tell the emperor yet, but... we can give the queen a warning first and let her be careful."

The fourth princess had no idea. Seeing Ruan Wanwan so calm now, she seemed to have found her backbone, and she was no longer as anxious as before.

"What are you going to do?"

Ruan Wanwan patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't be anxious first. You must keep this matter secret and not let a third person know. Before we get the evidence, we must not alert the snake."

The fourth princess nodded her head and agreed repeatedly: "Okay."

Ruan Wanwan glanced out the window. It was already bright. It would be very inconvenient to enter the palace to see the queen at this time. She could only wait for another day and go out when it was dark.

However, Ruan Wanwan does not want to wait so long. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better. Even if it is too late, something unexpected may happen.
