Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 唐朝诡事录 Episode 28

During the conversation between Lu Lingfeng and Hu Shifeniang, she asked if the Tuluo women were selling human face flowers. Hu Shi4niang didn’t say much, but only said that she still had human face flowers in her hand, and lured Lu Lingfeng to go to the room with her to get the flowers. Hu Shiiniang told Lu Lingfeng that the human face flower was a treasure that Persia paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty, and she smuggled a box out of the palace when she left the palace. This flower has long been air-dried after many years, but as long as it has been soaked in water, it can be fresh, and it can also make the face look young forever. Just as Lu Lingfeng was about to ask Hu Shishiniang for flowers, he heard someone coming towards the room, but Lu Lingfeng was already poisoned by the incense and could not fight the bronze ghost who came to the room. Bronze Specter led away, and the two escaped.

Su Wuming went for an autopsy, but the Tuluo woman suddenly came back to life. The Tuluo woman tied Su Wuming up and took the opportunity to escape. When Lu Lingfeng and Cherry came, the Tuluo woman had already left. It turned out that Su Wuming suspected that the person had used the incense of rejuvenation during the autopsy, because putting this in the nose can make people's breath temporarily evade. Su Wuming noticed that the inn was too weird, and planned to leave this place with Lu Lingfeng and Cherry.

In the middle of the night, Lu Lingfeng was always suspicious of the identity of the man in black who rescued him, so he came to the Gansui Inn again to ask the room where the man in black was located. Before leaving, Lu Lingfeng asked Hu Shishiniang for two face flowers, and then he planned to be a man in black, but unexpectedly found that the man in black was Lu Tong, the general of Jinwuwei.

Xing Ying came to see Su Wuming and presented him with soothing herbs, Yuanzhi, intending to mock Su Wuming for taking over as the oblique official. Su Wuming said that he is really such a herbal medicine, and that his ambition is rooted in the soil, and others can guess at will. Xing Ying knew that she had misunderstood Su Wuming and apologized to him. Xing Ying reported the case, saying that she lost the Tuluo woman last night, but suspected that the Tuluo woman went to the sky courtyard. Then Lu Lingfeng came and showed the human face flower to Su Wuming to check, while Xing Ying saw the human face flower and took out the human face flower she already had. Two servings of human face flowers, one is fresh flower and one is dried flower. Su Wuming said that the flower should be non-toxic and not rot human skin. Dried flowers with a dark color are the things of the former Sui Dynasty, and flowers with a light color are harmful monsters. From the mouth of Fei Jishi, I learned that the human face flower was developed by Miao Jiang Gui Chou and Leopard Huang, etc., to achieve the effect of instantly rotten skin. Su Wuming asked Lu Lingfeng and Xing Ying to go to the sky courtyard to track down the whereabouts of the Tuluo woman.

When the princess learned that the prince was stranded in Dongdu, she guessed that she wanted to know her ending. While waiting for Su Wuming to investigate the case, she also felt like a light on her back. Su Wuming came to see the princess. Although the princess was very angry that she did not wear official uniforms, Su Wuming said that she would go all out to get the antidote as soon as possible. The princess let Su Wuming investigate the case with confidence. Datang can't live without himself.

Lu Lingfeng and Xing Ying came to the aerial courtyard to investigate the case, but they were blocked at the door. Fortunately, Li Yue, who stayed behind, came, and they entered smoothly. The two searched all the people who stayed in the courtyard. Lu Lingfeng shouted with a fresh face and successfully detected the suspicious person, but at this time the Tuluo woman had committed suicide by taking poison. Now that the clues are interrupted, Governor Gao is also worried that Su Wuming will not be able to find the antidote. I am even more worried that after the princess's death, the crown prince successfully ascends the throne, and those who follow the princess will be strictly investigated. In order to protect himself, Gao Inspector prepares to turn to the prince.

Xing Ying secretly reported the progress of the case to the prince, and the prince asked Xing Ying to investigate the case with all his strength. Xin Huaishen came to see the prince, expressing that the princess had trust in him recently, and asked him to monitor Gao Zhongyi. Xin Huaishen said that Gao Zhongyi had the heart to surrender, but the prince had no intention of this matter, and only hoped to find out the case as soon as possible and find the antidote before the aunt was dying.
