What she was sure of was that Lu Wan was only in the initial stage of the herb's toxicity and it was not serious yet.
She said to Lu Wan, "Sister, other spices have been added to your sandalwood."
"What?" Lu Wan asked doubtfully, a little worried. The people in the mansion were very disciplined and would not add anything to the incense burner without her consent, because it would be very serious if it was discovered.
Moreover, she didn't smell any other scent besides sandalwood. She knew medicine and shouldn't be fooled.
Qin He said, "Perhaps you don't know that someone added rattan seven to sandalwood, which is a poisonous spice. The appearance and fragrance are almost the same as sandalwood, so you can't smell it." Qin He told Lu Wan about the harmful effects of this spice, and Lu Wan turned pale with fright.
Qin He comforted her: "But don't worry, sister. I know how to make perfumes. I know how to cure Teng Qi's poison. I will have someone find the antidote for you. As long as you grind the antidote into incense and light it to disperse the smell, everything will be fine."
"Thank you." Lu Wan looked at the Tengqi that Qinhe separated from the sandalwood burner, and couldn't tell the difference for a long time. The spice Tengqi was not recorded in modern medicine. Perhaps it only existed in this era and became extinct afterwards, so she didn't know it.
"Sister, now we have to find out who put this kind of spices in your sandalwood to harm you." Qin He reminded her.
Lu Wan thought about it and realized that she never allowed any maid except Shi Qinghuayi to enter her room. Besides them, there were only herself, Shen Yan, and Qin He. These people could not harm her, so who was the person who wanted to harm her?
Lu Wan began to think hard, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered that the empress dowager had sent two maids to the mansion a few days ago, saying that she was afraid that Qin He would come, and there were not enough maids in the mansion, so she sent them here specially. At that time, the two maids were sent by the empress dowager herself, and she happened to be in her bedroom when they were sent, so she met them in the bedroom, told them the rules of the mansion, and rewarded them with some things.
Perhaps, it was at that time that they unknowingly added something else to their incense burners because there was no one else around.
As for how they knew in advance what sandalwood was lit in her room, she felt that if the Queen Mother wanted to know, there would be a way.
After all, the reason that two maids were specially sent because there were not enough maids in the mansion was far-fetched, not to mention that only two were sent, which made it even more strange.
At that time, Lu Wan also suspected them, so he only let them do some unhurried work that would not come into contact with too many servants and maids, and asked the maids and servants in the mansion to keep their mouths shut. He was also extremely careful, for fear that the affairs of the mansion would be accidentally leaked and let them reach the ears of the empress dowager.
