After returning to the General's Mansion, Mu Yun'an asked her servants to prepare water while she went to bathe and change clothes.
As summer approaches, it is getting hotter and hotter. Mu Yun'an likes to take a comfortable hot bath, which can not only eliminate the fatigue of the day but also reduce the heat.
Moreover, this bathtub contains some medicinal materials that she prepared herself, which have the effect of beautifying the skin.
Mu Yunan closed her eyes and was enjoying herself in the water. Suddenly she heard a slight noise coming from the room. She opened her eyes and looked around.
She couldn't see anything clearly in the dense heat. Mu Yun'an thought she had heard wrongly. She looked away and looked up to see a green snake coiled on the screen, staring at her eagerly.
"ah!"
Mu Yun'an screamed and cowered in the bathtub in fear. Unexpectedly, a black scorpion climbed up along the bathtub, and more poisonous substances on the ground were pouring over.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted: "Here, help, help!"
Xiao Chengyi wanted to come over to see if she had washed herself, but as soon as she entered the yard, she heard Mu Yun'an's scream, followed by the cry for help.
"Yan Yan."
He was shocked and opened the locked door with his palm, and rushed in.
I saw a few snakes, centipedes and scorpions entangled on the bathtub. They were all poisonous things. They surrounded Mu Yun'an but seemed to dare not get close.
Mu Yunan was so frightened that he shrank in the water and did not dare to move.
Xiao Chengyi took a breath, picked up the clothes on the screen and swept the poison to the ground, then fished Mu Yun'an out of the water, pulled off the gauze by the window and wrapped it around her body.
He hugged Mu Yun'an and walked out of the bathroom quickly. After taking a few steps, a silver snake suddenly jumped down from the beam. Xiao Chengyi hugged Mu Yun'an and couldn't react in time, so he could only subconsciously protect the person in his arms.
The silver snake bit him on the arm.
Xiao Chengyi's handsome brows furrowed, and at that moment Hongyu rushed over. Upon seeing this, she hurriedly drew out her long sword and cut off the silver snake, and walked out while protecting Xiao Chengyi and Mu Yun'an.
But after leaving the yard, Hong Yu's expression changed: "Sir, they are all following you."
The poisons in the bathroom actually crawled out one after another. This phenomenon is so strange.
Xiao Chengyi looked back, stopped and squinted his eyes and said, "No, something must have attracted them."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the hairpin in Mu Yun'an's hair.
He laid Mu Yun down, then took off the peach blossom hairpin from her head, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly threw the hairpin away.
I saw those poisonous things crawling towards the place where the hairpin fell.
Mu Yun'an's eyes widened and he stammered: "What...what's going on? Is...are they going for that hairpin?"
Xiao Chengyi looked gloomy and asked Mu Yun'an: "Have you ever passed this hairpin through other people's hands?"
Mu Yun'an replied: "I accidentally lost it when I was in the palace, but I found it later." She frowned and asked, "You mean this hairpin has been tampered with?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "The hairpin is stained with poison, which is a kind of poison specially used to attract poisons, and the fragrance of peach wood can amplify the medicinal properties of the poison.
Think about it carefully. Did this hairpin fall by accident or was it knocked off by someone? Who picked it up? Tell me clearly about everything, every detail."
