When the group returned to the princess's mansion, the sky was already dark.

The young prince was still asleep, but the number of imperial doctors in front of the bed had increased from one at noon to three.

As if to prevent it, the young prince would leave in his sleep just as Lu Zhaozhao said.

"Tell me, what does the girl who asked you to pull out Heng'er's hair look like?" The moment Dugu Yu saw the boy, he immediately rushed up.

The boy turned pale with fright: "I, I don't know!"

"You were ordered by her, how could you not know what she looks like?" Dugu Yu obviously didn't believe what he said, and stretched out his hand to pull him.

Liu Xiangqi quickly pulled her into his arms and signaled her to calm down.

"Eldest Princess! Prince Consort! He is still young. If he is severely frightened, he may not be able to remember some of the details. Why don't we let my servant ask?" Lu Zhaozhao asked tentatively.

Liu Xiangqi nodded.

After getting his approval, Lu Zhaozhao looked back at the boy.

"Do you still remember what the girl who asked you to steal the young prince's hair looked like that day?" Lu Zhaozhao quietly blocked the eldest princess's sight, lest the boy would only be afraid and not be able to recall the events of that day wholeheartedly. .

"I, I really don't know what she looks like!" The boy said with a pale face and a trembling voice: "When she found me that day, her face was covered with a veil, and I couldn't see her face clearly!"

Lu Zhaozhao was not surprised, and had obviously expected this: "Then if you think about it carefully, what characteristics does this person have? For example, are there any accessories on his body? Or are there any traces on the exposed skin? Category?"

The boy thought for a while, shook his head and said: "When she found me, she was dressed plainly and elegantly, with no accessories on her body, and the skin she exposed was very fair, without any special marks!"

"Then repeat to me, what did she say and do when she found you that day? The more detailed the better!" Lu Zhaozhao signaled.

The boy nodded and hurriedly recounted what happened that day: "My brother has been in poor health since he was a child and has been sick for a long time. That day he happened to have a fever again. I wanted to take my brother to see a doctor, but I really didn't have enough money. I used cold water and wiped my brother's forehead over and over again to cool down. At this time, she walked into the ruined temple. She seemed to see my dilemma. She said she could give me some silver coins to take with me. When my brother goes to see a doctor, I only need to help her with a small thing. I know that pie in the sky will not fall, so I asked her cautiously, what needs to be done? She said, I just need to pretend that I accidentally bumped into the young prince. , and took a piece of the young prince’s hair and gave it to her, and gave me some silver. I thought that a piece of hair is nothing to the young prince, so I agreed!”

"Who told you that a hair is nothing to Heng'er? You almost killed him!" Dugu Yu was furious.

The boy's legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground: "I didn't know... I didn't know that a hair could be so important to the young prince!"

"Hair is indeed not an important existence in the eyes of ordinary people, but if it falls into the hands of someone with intentions, it will be a different matter!" Lu Zhaozhao said.

The boy's face turned pale again, and his body trembled even more: "I didn't think so much at the time. I just thought that after I got the silver, I could take my brother to see the doctor, and my brother would not be burned out... I really didn't I know that this matter will bring such great harm to the young prince, if I knew, even if I had a hundred courages, I would not dare to do this!"

"I believe that you did not intend to harm the young prince, but the harm you caused to the young prince is a fact. Therefore, if you think about everything about that woman, only by finding her can you save the young prince. At the same time, Save yourself!" Lu Zhaozhao reminded.

If the young prince has any shortcomings, he will definitely not survive. If on the contrary, the young prince survives this disaster without any danger, he will also have a glimmer of hope!
The boy naturally understood the meaning of her words, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and tried hard to recall everything about that woman.

"I successfully got the young prince's hair and ran back to the ruined temple to meet her. She just happened to come back from outside. Although we were separated by a veil, I could feel that she was in a good mood at the time... She casually gave me some She took the broken silver with her hair and left... That's right! She took the broken silver from a purse, and the purse seemed to be embroidered with bamboo..." "Bamboo?" Lu Zhaozhao was a little surprised.

It stands to reason that the women in these boudoirs usually like bright flowers, so how can they embroider bamboo?

Is it...

Special hobby?

The boy thought about it carefully, and then he said with certainty: "Yes! It's bamboo!"

"Eldest Princess! Prince Consort! I wonder if any of the women you know particularly like bamboo?" Lu Zhaozhao asked.

Dugu Yu thought carefully and shook his head: "On weekdays, when we get together, we discuss which flowers have bloomed more beautifully recently, but I have never heard of them. Which one of them particularly likes bamboo?"

"Gentlemen love bamboo! Therefore, generally those who like bamboo are men, but I have never heard that there are women who like bamboo!" Liu Xiangqi frowned slightly, without any clue.

"..." Lu Zhaozhao.

She found that she couldn't get any useful information out of the mouths of the eldest princess and the prince-consort!

Is it...

Among the many people around them, there isn't anyone suspicious?

"By the way! She still has a vague scent of osmanthus on her body. It's very light, but it smells very good!" The boy suddenly said.

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, his eyes fell on Hongxing and Chuntao.

Touching her questioning gaze, Hongxing and Chuntao hurriedly recalled the scene that day, but they didn't have the slightest clue.

"There were more people on the street that day and the smell was more mixed. I didn't smell any sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance!" Hongxing said.

"My slave didn't even smell it!" Chuntao.

After hearing their answers, Lu Zhaozhao looked away.

"Let's sum it up now. First of all, this person's skin is fair and there are no scars or anything like that. It shows that she takes good care of herself in daily life. So her background must be high and she should be a young lady from a wealthy family. Furthermore, if she has any There was a faint scent of osmanthus, but only one of the three people smelled it. Therefore, she probably didn’t apply the scent of osmanthus on her body intentionally, but got it on..." Lu Zhaozhao looked at the lush trees in the courtyard: "Now it's Autumn is the season when sweet-scented osmanthus blooms. If you plant sweet-scented osmanthus in your house, it will indeed be filled with fragrance!"

"So, as long as we find out which mansions have sweet-scented osmanthus trees, we can find this person!" Dugu Wei's eyes lit up.

"Almost!" Lu Zhaozhao said: "You can first find the mansion with the osmanthus tree, and then screen the women in the mansion who fit the body shape one by one. You should be able to find this person!"
