71 Chapter 12: Imperial Dr. Yen, Spring Garden Party Part One (1/2)

Later that day Yen was called into Ren's office. He asked her about the wooden slips and powders she used in the Medical office

”How many colors are there for these?” Ren asked. Yen lined up the powders she had taken from the medical office. ”There's red, yellow, blue, purple, and green. If you make a fine distinction, there are more. I don't know the specific number.”

”Then, what can we do about those colors on the wooden slips?” he asked her. It was impossible to strike it alight when it is in the form of powder. That would be weird whatever the circumstances.

”If it's salt, you can add salt water. I think this too can be done the same way.” She put away the white powder. ”The other ones look like they can be removed with something other than water. This too is outside my expertise, so I don't know.”

”It's good enough.” The youth crossed in arms, deep in thought. Just this would paint a picture. She knew that Ren had seized various things from the inner palace. The things Yen had said just now have become the basis for something. It seems the scattered pieces of information was getting connected in his head.

After Yen had answered all his questions, she turned to leave.

”Wait,” Ren said.

She was called to a halt. ”What do you require?”

”I like Dobin-mushi”

Dropping her shoulders, ”I'll go look for some tomorrow as well.” Yen told him as she left.

When he affirmed that the door had closed with a click, Ren dropped his sweet, phony smile. Instead, his gaze became crystal sharp as he looked at Yijun. ”Look for people who bear recent burns on their arm. For the time being, investigate those with rooms and upwards, and their maids as well.”
