Dongfang Yi takes Wen Ruolan to the dresser.

On the dresser, there's a unique dowry. Dongfang Yi sits next to it and opens a pair of exquisitely carved doors on the front of the dowry, revealing four small drawers from the bottom up. The gold-plated handles on the drawers are made into hollow patterns.

There are five exquisite screens on the top of the dowry, surrounded by a half foot wide mirror in the middle. The non copper and non glass mirror is very bright, and the figure found inside is clearer than the bronze mirror.

Wen Ruolan looked at Dongfang Yi and said, "do you still have this in your house?"

"Well, I did." Dongfang Yi opens the top drawer and takes out a pure white jade comb. The comb is carved from a whole piece of jade. The teeth are symmetrical and the workmanship is exquisite.

Dongfang Yi stands up behind Wen Ruolan, bends down to straighten out her hair, raises her eyes, looks at her in the mirror, and smiles: "it seems that there are many advantages in being a robber."

Wen Ruolan was so confused that he pressed Dongfang Yi's hand with his backhand: "what's the matter?"

Dongfang Yi sits next to her and opens all the drawers on her dowry. She has all kinds of rouge, water powder, hairpin ring, head and face.

"Is it good?"

Wen Ruolan's face sank: "what's the matter with you?"

Dongfang Yi reaches for her and holds her in his arms. "A few days ago, there was a robbery at the entrance to the sea. It's said that a merchant ship from afar was robbed. There are some exquisite and lovely things among them."

Wen Ruolan looked at the dowry on the dresser. Although she didn't know much about it, she could tell that the little dowry was too delicate, and the carved patterns were very similar to the style of Western classical architecture.

"Is this part of it?" Wen Ruolan felt cold.

Dongfang Yi nodded: "this is just a drop in the ocean. What really surprised me is this." Take a small bottle out of your arms.

Seeing this bottle, Wen Ruolan was shocked and reached for it: "glass?"

"Well?" Dongfang Yi picks an eyebrow, which he doesn't know, but Wen Ruolan is familiar with it.

It's really glass, with a round belly and a long neck and a cork cover on it.

Inside was a thick liquid of silver with a shimmer.

Wen Ruolan opens it and shakes it carefully. The liquid in it shakes like mercury. He looks up at Dongfang Yi and says, "find me a living creature."

"A few more." Dongfang Yi takes out a brocade bag, puts it in front of Wen Ruolan and opens it.

There are also three glass bottles, one of which makes Wen Ruolan's scalp numb. She also knows why Dongfang Yi has a sour smell. She grabs the bag and holds it in her hand: "how many have you opened?"

Dongfang Yi said, "is that terrible?"

How to explain? Wen Ruolan is a bad person. She can't clear all these things, but she won't admit it wrong.

But how is that possible? The productivity of this era is not enough to extract these things.

merchant ship! Yes, merchant ship, Wen Ruolan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said: "these things may be poisons, but the details are not clear."

"My people found this kind of bottle in the imperial dining room, and I was the first one to give it to you." Dongfang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "in Rui's mansion, he also found that many things are not from Dayan kingdom. It seems that he has already started."

The hijacking of the merchant ship was a big event. Wen Ruolan felt cold sweat on his back when he looked at the brocade bag in his hand. If he guessed correctly, the country where the merchant ship belonged must be very powerful, so powerful that he could extract some chemical toxins.

"Take me to find some living things. I can't be here." Wen Ruolan realized the seriousness of the problem, but calmed down. After all, it was ancient times, and the purity was absolutely not enough. Even so, she had to know what these things were. In addition to the smell of sulfuric acid, colorless and tasteless things were the most dangerous.

Dongfang Yi changes his robe and takes Wen Ruolan out the back door. They stop at a farmyard.

It's obvious that Dongfang Yi is very familiar with this place. They go to the backyard directly. There are some chickens and ducks in the backyard.

Wen Ruolan asks Dongfang Yi to catch four chickens.

Then he took out his handkerchief and covered his nose and mouth. He found some rice and divided it into four parts. Except for sulfuric acid, the remaining liquid in each bottle was poured out and stirred in the rice.

Dongfang Yi comes in with a chicken. Wen Ruolan immediately puts on a wet handkerchief: "go there and wait for me."

The four plates are numbered and placed in front of the four chickens. Watching the chickens happily eat the rice, Wen Ruolan steps back to Dongfang Yi.

"Toxic?" Dongfang Yi makes a sound.

Wen Ruolan nodded: "wait and see."

As soon as the voice fell, one of the chickens fell unsteadily, foaming but not dead, and the whole body kept twitching.

Dongfang Yi's hand suddenly tightens with a bang.

Wen Ruolan reached out and gently held his hand: "don't be nervous, I guess your father may have been poisoned. If these things were found in Rui palace, it would be killing people with a knife."

Dongfang Yi didn't know. It was because of this that he came back to Rui's mansion. As expected, he made a lot of money.

"But, this chicken's reaction is too fast, and your father has no problem at all for the time being, so it's ruled out." Wen Ruolan looked over again, one of the chickens fell down and died.

Two of the four chickens died in the twinkling of an eye. One of them twitched for a long time and died. Only one chicken had no problem at all.

Wen Ruolan looked at the plate with the number of one, then looked at the glass bottle with the same number of one, and gently held it in his hand: "go, you can see it when you enter the palace."

"You know so much?" Dongfang Yi reaches for Wen Ruolan, and his eyes are unbelievable.

If they are not familiar with each other, Wen Ruolan will feel suspicious and turn over, but they have already passed the stage of distrust.

"Dongfang Yi, the smell on you is sulfuric acid. I think you also know that there is a kind of poison that can destroy corpses, right?"

Dongfang Yi nods.

Wen Ruolan held up the glass bottle in his hand and shook it in front of Dongfang Yi: "these things are not natural things. They are purified and poisonous. Those chickens are proof. Has Dayan ever seen this kind of glass?"

"No

"Yes, no, because this kind of thing is called glass, and it is not ready-made in nature. It needs to be purified and refined. You said that the merchant ship was robbed, and then Prince Rui found these things. So in a country I don't know, the level of productivity there is very high." Wen Ruolan raised her hand and straightened Dongfang Yi's collar. She looked up at him firmly: "I know more, but I don't harm you. Leave me some secrets, eh?"

Dongfang Yi holds Wen Ruolan's hand with a complicated look. On the way back, both of them are silent.

He lived two lives. For the first time, he was so uneasy. He was holding her hand, but he couldn't see clearly. The deeper he understood, the more he couldn't see clearly, which made him feel a little cold.

"Dongfang Yi." Wen Ruolan clearly feels Dongfang Yi's emotion and stops.

Dongfang Yi looks back at her with a gentle but alienated look.
