Your Majesty is so cute

Chapter 137 Pigments
"Fu Jiulang, my lord." As soon as Chen Xin entered the study, his complexion seemed to be slightly red. It didn't seem like shyness, but more like excitement.

After Dong Lie took a look at Chen Xin, he set his eyes on Xiao Hua behind him.

Dong Lie frowned. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that although Xiao Hua was awake and smiling, she was even more haggard.No, find a time, and make up for Xiaohua to restore the chubby appearance in my memory.

"I don't know, what questions does Fu Jiulang want to ask me?" Chen Xinqiang pretended to be calm, and said calmly.

"I heard that there are more ores in Xingping City, some of which can be used for painting, but is it true?" Fu Jiujun asked.

"Of course it is true. I have used it occasionally, and I can recognize one or two. I don't know why Fu Jiulang asked this?" Chen Xin looked at Fu Jiujun suspiciously.Ore painting is usually used by poor families who can't afford to buy ground pigments. Lin'an City generally doesn't have this.

Fu Jiujun turned to Dong Lie, and said, "My lord, do you still remember what Fu said before, this scroll was made by Tang Yan. It is said that this is a famous painter who traveled to five continents. It is said that he got the picture of the immortal Zhongyou As a gift of a paintbrush, all the things he paints are spiritual, but there are few things he paints with his own pen, and this tiger descending the mountain is one of them."

"Could it be that this is as true as the rumors say, drawing money to get money?" Dong Lie asked with some doubts.

"No, but in this case, it should be counted. But the prince knows, what do painters who travel abroad usually use as paint?" Fu Jiujun asked.

"I've heard of this. In the mountains, ores and weeds in the mountains are usually used as pigments to paint." Chen Xin continued: "But not all weeds and ores can be used as pigments. The most unique plant in the mountain should be the yellow turmeric grass. Although I have never seen this tiger descending the mountain, the yellow color is generally used by tigers."

Fu Jiujun nodded appreciatively to Chen Xin, and said, "Miss Chen Si is right, it is indeed turmeric. Then the prince can understand what happened next."

Dong Lie nodded, and said: "Aunt Chunhua said before that if the incense Wang Ruifeng made is less, it can make people very obedient and control others without resistance. A little more can make people faint and not Self-knowledge. Long-term use will be addictive, and the only special thing is that it will have hallucinations with the unique turmeric in Dongjiang Mountain.”

"The pigments in Lin'an City are very expensive. Most of the yellow colors are extracted and ground from yellow ore, but there are also many yellow pigments that are also ground from Xingping City's turmeric. Although this kind of cheapness is a bit toxic, many Poor people will also choose this kind of paint." Chen Xin also interjected.

Fu Jiujun said: "Yes, so if there is no accident, the yellow on the painting is turmeric. If the two are hallucinations, this can explain why the boss and the boss's wife saw the tiger."

Dong Lie patted the table suddenly, and said: "Since this is the case, it is easy to explain clearly. That night, someone deliberately came to kill the painter, but the painter happened to light the incense, and the batch of incense was very good. It might be the kind of incense that Sister Chunhua was talking about. But I didn’t expect that the picture of the tiger descending the mountain happened to be painted with turmeric, and the owner of the gallery was actually killed, and deliberately pretended to be killed by a tiger.”

"What you are talking about is the time on West Street? I also heard it more or less in the show hall. If you have hallucinations as you said, didn't the proprietress also claim that she saw a tiger?" Chen Xin was a little displeased. too understand.

Dong Lie said: "Yes, the study is airtight, and the fragrance accumulates in the room. Although it dissipates overnight, some will remain. When the proprietress opened it, she smelled it, and naturally she had a slight hallucination. This can also be explained, right, Fu Jiulang."

Fu Jiujun nodded and said, "Your Majesty's analysis is correct, that's indeed the case." Fu Jiujun couldn't help frowning while talking.

This is too simple, it seems that it is not a good thing to solve the answer so easily and make Fu Jiujun feel so smooth.

Dong Lie went on to say: "Once we know the reason, everything is easy to solve. After all, everything points to Wang Ruifeng, the son of the household department."

Fu Jiujun nodded, he didn't deny this, but he always felt that this matter was weird, as if the clues of these things were all just put together. , Dong Lie touched his chin with his hand, and said, "Fu Jiulang didn't feel that this matter was too fast?"

Fu Jiujun smiled slightly, gave Dong Lie a sympathetic look, and comforted him: "My lord, don't worry, once this matter is resolved, the people behind will always show their feet, right? Besides, once this matter is resolved, Lin'an The matter of changing the defense in the city is simple, isn't it?"

Dong Lie couldn't help laughing, and said, "Fu Jiulang, you are really good at predicting things, but you should worry about your own body. By the way, is Xiao Hua still asleep?" Dong Lie's Out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Hua who fell asleep again at some point.

Fu Jiujun hummed.Chen Xin asked with some concern: "Xiaohua will be fine. Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look? In the past few days, when I see her, I always feel that she is not in a good condition, and she seems very tired."

"Miss Chen Si, don't worry, Xiaohua is fine." Fu Jiujun nodded to Chen Xin with a smile.

Dong Lie looked at Fu Jiujun, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all.No matter what, there are new clues in this case.

After sending Chen Xin and Dong Lie out of Fu Zhai, Dong Lie unexpectedly stopped Chen Xin who was about to get into the carriage.

"My lord, what else is there?" Chen Xin frowned and looked at Dong Lie.

"It's nothing, just, do you think Xiao Hua is acting weird recently?" Dong Lie whispered.

"Yes, there is one thing. She always looks very tired." Chen Xin didn't have any special feelings for Dong Lie at all, but Xiao Hua was involved. She couldn't help but think for a while, and replied.

"Yes, I think so too. I want to take Xiao Hua out to see the doctor, what do you think?" Dong Lie asked.

"The doctor my lord knows is naturally good. If my lord has this idea, just tell Fu Jiulang."

"But Fu Jiulang watched closely and didn't let Xiaohua get in touch with others. You said that she slept so deeply, it couldn't be hibernation." Dong Lie put his arms around his chest and said, "Miss Chen, you, Fu Jiulang and Xiaohua They are all familiar, if you find a reason to bring Xiao Hua out, Fu Jiulang will definitely not doubt it, what do you think?"

"This."

"Do you want to watch Xiaohua and hibernate?"

"...Okay." Chen Xin reluctantly agreed.

Note: This is the author's long-winded time. Many friends often say why the name has changed in the middle of my writing. It must be the author's dementia. Hahaha, please don't mind.

Allow me to go over the characters a bit more.

Chen Xin: It's the Fourth Miss of the Chen family from Xingping City. (I feel that the author occasionally writes it as Miss Chen Second Hahaha, please ignore it.) Because her sister was disfigured, she came to the audition instead of her sister, and is currently staying in the show hall.Naturally, the draft will start after the spring break, so don't worry. (Actually, the author himself is afraid of forgetting.)
Incense: In fact, the definition is a bit like opium or something.Probably Wang Ruifeng saw Chunhua by accident, bought this incense, and found that, hey, this thing can actually control people and make them obedient, so he used it for bad purposes.By the way, I found that after using it for a long time, it can still be addictive, so I gathered a group of friends to enjoy it together, so I mass-produced incense.Wang Shizi naturally also participated in it, but now Wang Shizi may want to leave, how to leave?Naturally, find a scapegoat.

I feel like I'm spoiling it.

Note: The following are serious, some commonly used pigments from Baidu search. (The turmeric in the book was edited by the author hahaha) Blue dye - indigo; red dye - madder, safflower, saffron (yang mordant dyeing); yellow dye - sophora japonica, turmeric, gardenia, amurberry; purple Dyes - comfrey, perilla; brown dyes - yam; black dyes - gall, hematoxylin (tannin iron mordant).
