Chapter 152 Aphrodisiac Fragrance
Chapter 152 Aphrodisiac Fragrance
Since Shi Qiuwu already knows about this and can solve this kind of problem, why not shamelessly ask him for help?
However, this kind of thing is different from other poisons, and Shi Qiuwu is a man.
An Qingqian still felt very embarrassed after saying it.
"You can use silver needles and cold water to relieve the symptoms, but I didn't bring any silver needles with me today." Shi Qiuwu had to go out on a whim today, so naturally he didn't prepare anything extra.
"Oh, forget it. I'll find another way." An Qingqian smiled awkwardly.
Fortunately, she didn't inhale much aphrodisiac scent, and although the breath was a little disordered, it was still within controllable range.
She thought that she should be able to suppress the effects of the medicine and wait until she returned to the general's mansion.
"I..." Shi Qiuwu wanted to say something when he suddenly heard a burst of messy and hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.
The two looked at each other, pushed open the door of a private room and hid inside.
Just as the two of them hid themselves, they heard the messy footsteps going up to the second floor.
What a coincidence, the visitor also chose this room.
An Qingqian and Shi Qiuwu hid on the beams and watched the visitor hide in the low cabinet in the room.
This man was also wearing a nightgown and was very agile.
The two looked at each other and felt strange. Who was this person? Why did he make the same choice as them and hide in the man from the sky, in the same room.
Suddenly, flames appeared outside and the sound of orderly footsteps was heard.
A solemn and loud voice spread throughout the restaurant, "Search carefully, don't miss any corner, and make sure to catch this thief."
"Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, the main door outside the gate of the visitors from heaven was broken open, and three teams separated and one team was responsible for searching one floor.
The loud noise naturally woke up the shopkeeper who was resting in the backyard.
The shopkeeper came hurriedly with two assistants, all dressed in their clothes.
"My Lords, what has happened?"
When the shopkeeper came over, he found that the place was brightly lit with fire and had been surrounded by dozens of government troops.
The door of the restaurant was forced open, and the shopkeeper led his men in. They saw the leader standing in the middle of the hall with an extremely serious expression.
The leader glanced at the shopkeeper who came from the sky, and his attitude improved slightly.
"It's Manager Li. I'm sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night." The captain spoke politely.
"What are you talking about? I am a common citizen and I should cooperate with all the arrangements made by the officials." Shopkeeper Li bowed and flattered.
At the same time, he quietly stuffed a purse filled with silver into the captain's sleeve.
The captain took the money and his attitude became more gentle.
"Manager Li, this is what happened. Tonight, when we were on patrol, we found a master in night clothes running out of Prince Cheng's mansion, so we tracked him here. We saw him break into the restaurant with our own eyes, so we need to search the place thoroughly."
"I see. However, sir, please tell your men to be gentle. Some of the things in this restaurant are not easy to come by."
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Li. I have already given them instructions before the search."
The captain has been in the capital for many years, so he naturally knows that the background of Tianshanglairen Restaurant is not simple. Therefore, even if he asked someone to break in here, he would instruct the searchers to be gentle in advance, otherwise, they would die at any time without knowing it.
"Thank you, sir." Shopkeeper Li thanked him.
The three of them also accompanied the captain, waiting for the search results in the hall.
The private rooms on the second floor were opened one by one, and the officers and soldiers searched very carefully, leaving no corner untouched.
As time went on, An Qingqian felt more and more that something was wrong with her body.
She bit her lip slightly, her brows were furrowed, her hands were clenched tightly together, and her breathing was a little rapid.
Shi Qiuwu and An Qingqian were very close to each other, and he noticed the abnormality of the person next to him at the first moment.
Turning around, I saw that An Qingqian's forehead was already covered with sweat, her little face was red, and her red lips were bitten together.
Shi Qiuwu looked at her and his heart couldn't help but tremble. She looked so delicate and lovely.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch An Qingqian's face, and moved closer to her.
He whispered in her ear, "Are you okay?"
Shi Qiuwu's approach made An Qingqian's breath catch.
His fingers were long and his palms were a little rough. When they touched her face, a cool feeling came over her, which actually made An Qingqian feel somewhat comfortable.
When Shi Qiuwu's hot breath sprayed into An Qingqian's ears, it made her feel that the fire in her heart seemed to burn even more vigorously.
An Qingqian closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. At this moment, she inexplicably wanted to get closer to Shi Qiuwu.
When this thought flashed through her mind, An Qingqian felt it was extremely absurd and unbearable. She just wanted to leave here quickly and stay away from Shi Qiuwu.
However, before the searching soldiers reached here, soldiers outside surrounded the entire restaurant.
If An Qingqian went out at this moment, she would only attract other people's attention.
She used her willpower to suppress the restlessness in her heart and shook her head reluctantly to indicate that she was fine.
But she didn't dare to meet Shi Qiuwu's eyes.
She knew that Shi Qiuwu noticed something was wrong with her, and she also knew that her situation was not good at the moment, but there was nothing she could do.
Suddenly, the elegant sandalwood scent from the person next to her seemed to have life and began to invade An Qingqian, making her feel even more attracted to him. Her heart told her that she should get closer to the person next to her.
But reason forced An Qingqian to restrain her actions, and her expression became more and more conflicted.
Shi Qiuwu looked at the people around him worriedly. Although he had never been poisoned like this, he studied medicine and naturally knew a lot about this kind of thing.
The longer the time, the more difficult it will be for the poisoned person.
Especially just now outside, An Qingqian used her internal energy to fight with herself, which further promoted the circulation of the aphrodisiac incense in her body.
He chose the man from heaven because he was his power and had a room on the top floor, which contained all the commonly used items, including silver needles.
However, just as he took An Qingqian to the second floor, An Qingqian pulled him to stop.
Shi Qiuwu looked down and was about to create some trouble to lure the government troops away, but An Qingqian held his hand.
An Qingqian looked at her and shook her head, signaling him not to act rashly.
The government troops are searching. If they fail to lure them away and something happens, it will be even more troublesome.
And, most importantly, they didn't know who the man in black was and what he had done to attract the government troops.
Shi Qiuwu looked down at the little hand placed on his. Her hand was abnormally hot, even hotter than his body temperature.
An Qingqian's hand felt the coolness and felt extremely comfortable, which made her want to get closer.
