"Excuse me, where do you live? Your accent doesn't sound like someone from the capital."
The woman didn't want to answer at first, but Mr. Qian saw some clues.
"Just answer what this young master says!" Master Qian said, while ordering someone to bring some chairs over.
The woman was unwilling, but she didn't dare to go against her, so she reluctantly said: "We live in Wangjia Village on the outskirts of Nancheng! We moved here from Jiangnan to do some small business."
"I heard that there is plenty of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, so why do you want to do business in the north?"
Su Yizhao seemed to be chatting, and even Mr. Qian was a little impatient.
"Because the head of the family is from the capital, and I am from Jiangnan. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. What's wrong with that?"
The woman was a little impatient, but because of Lord Fu Yin, she could only suppress the anger in her heart and reply.
"But I feel that you two are not a couple!"
Su Yizhao suddenly said something shocking, and everyone looked at him in surprise at the same time.
She walked up to the woman and said, "Although your face and hands are very rough and black and yellow, there is something white and tender behind your ears."
Su Yizhao turned the woman's face to one side, and the guards on the side quickly turned to look.
"Huh? Yes!" The guard felt a little surprised. The skin on the neck behind the ears was also delicate and white.
"Perhaps you want to say that the clothes cover it and don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, but what about your arms? What about the wrists?"
Su Yizhao signaled the guard to let go of one hand, immediately grabbed the woman's hand and rolled down her sleeve.
"Huh? Yes!" Everyone was shocked to realize that it was the skin of two people! It was simply a world of difference.
"You are applying powder made from orange blossoms on your face and hands, right? This flower can be used as medicine, and a small amount can nourish the skin. But if you add its rhizome, the powder will be black. When applied to the skin, it will
Darkens the skin.”
Why Su Yizhao knew so clearly was because she had applied this powdered juice before.
"This kind of powder is soaked in water and applied to the face, which can achieve the effect of disguising the face without any visible difference."
When the prince heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he took a sip from the tea bowl handed over by Mr. Qian, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"You're talking nonsense! I don't know anything about orange blossoms! How can I, a peasant woman, know about such a thing?"
The woman naturally refused to admit it, but the panic in her eyes did not escape Su Yizhao's eyes.
"I have this antidote on my body. Apply it to my face. Although it cannot be washed off at once, it can lighten the complexion a little."
Su Yizhao took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out a small white ball.
"You recognize this antidote, right?" Su Yizhao looked at the woman's expression with satisfaction.
She picked up the meatballs and approached the woman, "Would you like to try it?"
The woman quickly leaned back and said, "Who knows if this is poison? You and the palace are in the same group."
"Then I'll try first, and you try again! How about that?"
Su Yizhao was still smiling, but her confident look made the woman panic.
"Hold her down! Try it on her face!" The prince suddenly spoke, and the two guards hurriedly obeyed.
"let me go!"
The woman looked at Su Yizhao's slowly approaching hand with horrified eyes. This unusual appearance naturally aroused everyone's suspicion.
"Sister-in-law, just let him try. How dare he do anything to you in public?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"No! No! This is poison!"
Su Yizhao noticed the woman's collar and snorted coldly: "You said you are a peasant woman, but you are wearing silk and satin underneath and such a thick silver hairpin on your head."
"When in a hurry, you can chew words and speak clearly and logically."
The woman's expression became more and more ferocious with Su Yizhao's words, and the malice in her eyes made people feel frightened when they saw her.
"Master! I'm here to inquire. I've found out the identities of these two people!"
At this time, Shi Fang, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared, and he shouted anxiously to Su Yizhao.
"Say it!" Su Yizhao straightened up, not wanting to use the pill on the woman's face.
Whether it's orange blossom or the main ingredient of this pill, Fu Ling, they are both extremely rare things.
"The man's name is Liang Dafa. He is indeed from Wangjia Village on the outskirts of Nancheng. The fur shopkeeper in front of him knows him."
The waiter dragged the man behind him out, and everyone saw that he was an old man in his dying years.
"This belongs to the shopkeeper, I brought it to you!"
"Ouch! With my old arms and legs, I can't slow down!"
"Ah! I pay my respects to you, my lord!" The old man took a look at the official uniform and knelt down quickly.
How can Mr. Qian accept the kneeling and worship of such a long-lived man? It is even more impossible in front of so many people.
"Old man, please get up quickly!" He stepped forward and helped him up himself.
"This is Crown Prince Jing'an!" Then he introduced Crown Prince Jing'an. The old man asked to bow to him as usual and was helped up again.
Where was Su Yizhao waiting for him to salute? So he took the lead and asked: "Old man, take a look, is that man Liang Dafa?"
Su Yizhao pointed to the man whose clothes had been removed on the ground. Zuo Zuo was already packing his things, and it seemed that the inspection had been completed.
The old man walked to Su Yizhao. From this angle, he could see the man lying on the ground.
"Yes! This man brought leather to sell yesterday, and I just saw him coming this way."
The shopkeeper nodded and replied firmly.
"So this woman is his first wife?" Su Yizhao then pointed to the woman and asked.
"I don't recognize his first wife! I've never seen her before." The old man shook his head.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but what the old man said next shocked her.
"I shouldn't have heard him say that his first wife passed away two years ago and his family is poor. He has never married again."
The old shopkeeper started to babble, "This is Liang Dafa! It's just a bet, all the money is spent..."
Su Yizhao was still waiting to ask again, but he didn't expect the woman to suddenly get violent and push the two guards to the ground.
At this moment of turmoil, Su Yizhao saw the woman take out the silver hairpin from her head, put it on her mouth, and blew it in the direction of the prince.
However, the guards around the Crown Prince moved faster, pushed past the Crown Prince, and fired a sleeve arrow. The woman had no choice but to dodge when she saw this.
Su Yizhao hurriedly ducked to the side, she didn't want to become a victim!
The crowd of onlookers suddenly became confused. Everyone screamed, shouted, and fled.
"Master! Come here quickly!" The waiter shouted anxiously when he saw his young master being pushed to the other side by the crowd.
But before the attack was successful, the woman snatched the sword of a guard beside her and stabbed the prince quickly.
"Hurry and protect the Crown Prince!"
Mr. Qian immediately hid aside. Looking back at this scene, he was immediately frightened to death.
If this man was injured under his nose, the emperor would definitely not be able to spare him.
Su Yizhao was squeezed by the crowd and even lost one of his shoes.
She didn't know where to run, so she just squeezed out.
Unexpectedly, someone pushed her, and her body fell to the right involuntarily. Then she was stabbed in the shoulder by something unknown, and a sharp pain came.
Damn it, there's always a wrongdoer and a debtor, so why don't you just look at me and prick me?
