Chapter 231 Two situations
  When Doza heard what the servant said, he suddenly understood.
  So that's the case, no wonder Dunzhu said something in front of her to give him and Shen Zhuoxi a chance. He thought that Dunzhu had really woken up, but she was waiting here!
  If it becomes like this, it can be regarded as Dunzhu's own fault. He did not harm others, but he tortured himself into that.
  It's just that Shen Zhuoxi is smart. If he can think of something strange, Shen Zhuoxi can definitely think of it too.
  Determined to know the details and find an excuse, Doza quickly asked: "What is the princess's plan?"
  "Fragrance beads." The maid lowered her head and said: "Rongqiang herdsmen often keep bees and use their fragrance to attract wild bees to drop in the beehives and feed them. Princess Dunzhu met them by chance when she went horseback riding on the grassland."
  "The princess liked that kind of fragrance, so she asked someone to make a string of beads specially. She doesn't show off her temper on weekdays, so she just puts them in the makeup box. I don't know why she brought Dongchen Guo this time."
  "Yesterday morning, when the princess was looking for the golden hairpin, she accidentally dug out the string of beads. She suddenly came up with the idea of ​​using the beads to attract bees to deal with the second lady."
  "Then the princess tricked you into going to the lychee garden. On the way there, the princess gave the fragrant beads to the second lady. She said they were for the Rongqiang people to keep safe. The second lady didn't want them at first, but the princess had to put them on the second lady. On the wrist.”
  "In order to prevent someone from rescuing the second young lady when the bees come, the princess specially sent away the other two young ladies of the Shen family. You were taken away by Master Shen again, and this servant happened to go to fetch water."
  "According to the princess's plan, the bees were looking for the second lady, but why they all turned around and stung the princess, I have no idea why."
  Doza's expression changed slightly and said, "Is it because the princess wore the beads for a long time that the bees came to her?"
  "No, although bees like fragrant beads, the princess carries something specially designed to deal with bees." The maidservant explained: "When she went to the herdsmen on the grassland to ask for fragrant beads, the princess was prepared to attract bees."
  "The herdsmen specially prepared sachets for the princess that they use to repel mosquitoes and bees, just in case. Logically speaking, bees are unlikely to find the princess."
  Doza thought about Shen Zhuoxi's excellent medical skills and quickly guessed that she must have noticed it, so he used a trick to let retribution fall on Dunzhu?
  He told his maidservant: "Go and look for Dunzhu to see if there are any fragrant beads, and the sachet used to deal with bees is still there."
  After saying that, he ran to the door of the bedroom like a wind and said to Shen Zhuoxi, "Second Miss, how is my little sister doing?"
  Shen Zhuoxi had finished cleaning the remaining bee stings on Dunzhu's body and responded: "It's okay for the time being, but the sting was too severe and the princess has some poison in her body. She needs to return to Shengdu as soon as possible to take medicine."
  While she was talking, she had already walked to the door, opened it and said, "Hurry and roll the mugwort water and get it, and let your maid clean the princess."
  Duozha nodded and ordered the guards to get the mugwort water. His eyes gradually turned to Shen Zhuoxi's wrist.
  Because she had to deal with her injury, Shen Zhuoxi rolled up her sleeves slightly. At this time, on her white wrist, there was only a string of black bracelets on her left hand, and there was no fragrant beads the maid mentioned!
  His heart gradually sank.
  It is indeed Shen Zhuoxi!
  Following his line of sight, Shen Zhuoxi's face turned red, and he quickly put down his sleeves and said, "I'm sorry."
  "Huh?" Hui Zhi happened to come over and saw this scene, and asked suspiciously: "Miss, where are the fragrant beads the princess gave you?"
  Only then did Shen Zhuoxi realize something was wrong. He groped his wrist and said, "Yes, where are the beads? Hurry up and have a look. Did you leave them in the house?"
  Huizhi responded and went to look for it. Shen Zhuoxi frowned and explained to Doza: "The princess gave me a bunch of Rongqiang blessing and auspicious beads. I don't know if she lost them somewhere in a panic."
  "I heard that fragrant beads are extremely rare. If they were to disappear, it would really offend the princess."
  Doza also frowned, and he carefully observed Shen Zhuoxi's expression.
  Shen Zhuoxi spoke naturally, and his movements and expressions were not strange, as if he really didn't know that the beads were missing, and he didn't know that the beads had other uses.
  Could it be that I am overthinking it?
  Doza paused and followed her words: "I guess it fell somewhere, I'll definitely find it."
  While they were talking, Huizhi came out hurriedly and said, "Miss, there is none in the house."
  "It's broken. It must have been left in the lychee garden." Shen Zhuoxi slapped his forehead and said to Doza: "The Crown Prince has brought several guards. Can you please send someone to help find it?"
  "There aren't many places I walked through just now. It should be inside."
  "Okay." Doza took a deep breath and said, "I'll send someone to find him."
  Inside the house, Dundup's maid also came out and winked at Doza.
  The guards had already brought mugwort water, but Shen Zhuoxi paid no attention to them and ordered Huizhi to help Dunzup cleanse himself.
  Master Duozha came outside the house, and the maid said anxiously: "Master, I searched carefully and found that the princess's purse and the sachet are gone."
  Duo Zha knew it and asked his maid to go back to help Shen Zhuoxi, while he took the people to the lychee garden.
  Just where Dundup was stung by a bee, he found those fragrant beads, but they had broken and were scattered on the ground.
  Under the chaotic lychee tree, there is also a purse and bamboo basket embroidered with mandarin ducks.
  Only the sachet is missing.
  Duo's heart sank and he sent someone to search nearby. After a while, a guard found a sachet hanging on a branch.
  Judging from the position, it was exactly at the height of Dundup's waist. It seems that Dundup accidentally hung it on a branch when picking lychees, and she did not notice it.
  Holding the sachet, Duozha's expression gradually became serious.
  In the end, is it a coincidence or intentional?
  There are two situations.
  First, Dunzhu was in a panic and did not notice that she had lost the scent bag. The smell of the scent beads on her body attracted bees.
  Shen Zhuoxi's master and servant went to find her shouting and accidentally broke the fragrant beads when they went to rescue her.
  The second is that Shen Zhuoxi discovered Dunzhu's conspiracy in advance, used fragrant beads to attract bees, took away the sachet that could drive away the bees, and then deliberately broke the fragrant beads and threw them at the scene.
  And all signs indicate that the situation is more likely to be the second one.
  Because Shen Zhuoxi’s master and servant were not stung by bees!
  Doza felt increasingly heavy and returned to the farmer's house with his guards.
  Dunzup had already put on his clothes and was awake. However, he vomited twice and complained that he had a headache.
  When Shen Zhuoxi saw him coming back, he hurried up to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, have you found the fragrant beads?"
  "Found it, it's broken right where the bee stung the bee." Doza opened his palm, and there were several beads inside.
  "Why did it break?" Shen Zhuoxi said with a puzzled look on his face.
  "Is it when you broke off the branches to drive away the bees?" Huizhi took over the words and said, "I didn't notice it at all. I was just paying attention to Princess Dunzhu."
  "That's all." Shen Zhuoxi took the beads and handed them to Huizhi, saying, "Go back and find someone to string them together."
  Her expression was still unchanged.
  The more this happened, the more doubtful Doza became. He couldn't help but ask: "When Dundup was stung, you, the master and the servant, were the only ones here. Why didn't the bees bite you?"
