Yes, we have to find another way, we can't just give up. Ye Yuxiao wiped away her tears and tried to calm down: "If the culprit is among them, it must be because he or she has washed his or her hands to wash away the smell of Yingcao juice."

Tan Shizhao heard her analysis, nodded, and agreed: "The juice of fenugreek is indeed not difficult to wash off. If you use bath beans when washing your hands, it will be washed more thoroughly. Even if you bring a dog, you won't be able to smell it. "

"Then what should we do?" Ouyang Sheng frowned, "Is there any other way to find out?"

Ye Yuxiao rubbed his twitching temples and asked someone to bring Brother Ming over. He raised his little hand for him to see: "Brother Ming, look, your hand is stained with a kind of grass juice. Can you smell it?"

Brother Ming leaned in and smelled it for a while, then nodded.

Ye Yuxiao asked again: "Brother Ming, did someone smear this grass juice on your hands, or did you accidentally get it on yourself?"

Brother Ming shook his head blankly.

It seems that he was contaminated with Yingcao juice without knowing it? Ye Yuxiao felt even more headache, so he had to call the maids who were serving Brother Ming over, let them smell the grass juice on Brother Ming's hands, and then questioned them: "Brother Ming has grass juice on his hands, you guys The people serving you don’t know?”

The maids and maids looked ashamed, but they all shook their heads.

The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table: "You bunch of losers, how do you serve Brother Ming?!"

A palace maid boldly defended: "Your Majesty, Princess Yingchuan, the grass juice on Brother Ming's hands has no color, is not sticky, and the smell is so light that it is hard to detect it easily. If Princess Yingchuan hadn't let her We got closer and smelled it, but we're afraid we still won't find it."

This Yingcao juice was indeed difficult to detect. The emperor had no choice but to order the guards to take all the suspects to Dali Temple for strict interrogation.

The guards were about to arrest the people, but Tan Shizhao poured cold water on them: "Your Majesty, the poison of Brother You and Brother Chen must be eliminated within an hour, otherwise even if the antidote is found, it will be useless. And there is suspicion here. There are twenty or thirty people, and most of them are of high status and cannot be tortured. How long will the trial last? Let's find another way."

Think of another way? What can you think of? If he wanted to find other ways, would he need to resort to this method? The emperor was very angry.

"The antidote must be found within an hour? How long has it been now?" Ye Yuxiao asked Tan Shizhao.

"There's only half an hour left. Think about it quickly." Tan Shizhao said.

With only an hour left, the culprit has not been found, and even if he/she is found, he/she may not be immediately forced to hand over the antidote. Is time so tight? As Ye Yuxiao thought about it, he felt cold all over and clenched his teeth involuntarily.

Ouyang Sheng came over, hugged her shoulders tightly, patted her gently, and personally asked the maids serving Brother Ming: "Brother Ming, what have you done today, who have you met? Let me recall it in detail to this king."

The chambermaids recalled one after another - "Brother Ming knew that there was a celebration banquet today and that he could see Princess Yingchuan today. He was very excited and got up before dawn..."

"It's the slave who helps Brother Ming wash and dress..."

"After Brother Ming had breakfast, he went to the Royal Garden to play for a while, and then grandma came to teach him how to speak, but Brother Ming still didn't learn a word."

"According to Princess Yingchuan's instructions, the slaves have not given Ming Geer any medicine during this period, but they have applied ointment to his hands and feet every day to make the color on his hands and feet fade faster."

"Ointment?" Ye Yuxiao heard this and interjected, "Is it the ointment from Mingche Medical Center?"

"Yes." The palace maid replied, "It's the ointment you prescribed for Brother Ming, and the people from Mingche Medical Center sent it here specially."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this ointment?" Ouyang Sheng asked Ye Yuxiao in a low voice.

What could be wrong with the ointment from Mingche Medical Center? Ye Yuxiao bit her fingernails: "No matter what, let's take a gamble."

She would bite her fingernails whenever she was anxious, but she hadn't bitten her nails again for many years, which showed how she was feeling at this time. Ouyang Sheng felt so distressed that he held her hand: "You tell me what to do."

"Do you still remember my anti-counterfeiting book?" Ye Yuxiao asked.

Ouyang Sheng thought about it for a while and then it rang. It was during the Battle of Southern Xinjiang that several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital joined forces and forged a golden sore ointment to frame Ye Yuxiao. Ye Yuxiao used a makeshift anti-counterfeiting book to expose their conspiracy, prove her innocence and clear her grievances.

He nodded and asked Ye Yuxiao: "Do you want to make another anti-counterfeiting book?"

"The anti-counterfeiting booklet back then has been mass-produced now and is stored in the warehouse of the medical center. However, there is no need to go to so much trouble today." Ye Yuxiao said, calling Eunuch Wei over and asking him to help make a few bowls Alkaline water comes.

Isn't alkaline water the main raw material for making anti-counterfeiting albums? But she just said that she would not make an anti-counterfeiting book today, so what is she going to do? Ouyang Sheng was full of doubts.

Tan Shizhao also looked strange and came over to ask him. Ouyang Sheng told him about the anti-counterfeiting booklet, and Tan Shizhao felt even more strange: "What we are looking for is the culprit, the Yingcao flower antidote to Yingcao juice. We are not trying to test the authenticity of the medicine at Mingche Medical Center. She What are you doing with alkaline water?”

Ouyang Sheng spread his hands: "I don't know either."

Time was tight and they were not allowed to ask in detail. They could only see how Ye Yuxiao behaved first.

Eunuch Wei cared about the two children and went to supervise them personally. He quickly prepared the alkaline water and brought it to Ye Yuxiao.

Ye Yuxiao distributed the alkaline water to the chambermaids and asked Dai Peilan, Chunxiao and others to help: "Spread alkaline water on the hands of each suspect."

"Applying lye? Did she mistake someone else's hands for medicine from Mingche Medical Center?" Tan Shizhao was anxious for the two children and said to Ouyang Sheng, "We don't have much time. My lord, please take care of her and tell her not to waste time." .”

Ye Yuxiao never does anything that wastes time, not to mention that now that her sons are like this, she is no less anxious and sad than him. Ouyang Sheng raised his hand and gestured to Tan Shizhao, telling him to calm down.

"Hey? What's going on?" Chunxiao's surprised voice came from among the group of suspects.

Ouyang Sheng and Tan Shizhao followed the sound and saw Chunxiao standing in front of a palace maid, carefully examining her hands.

That palace maid was one of the servants serving Ming Geer.

Ye Yuxiao walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chunxiao held up the maid's hand: "Princess, look, her hand has changed color!"

Changed color? Why did the palace maid's hands change color when they were painted with alkaline water? Ouyang Sheng was confused and asked Tan Shizhao: "Will the juice of Yingcao change color when it encounters alkaline water?"
