> Me and My Delicate Husband Recap
Kong Qiqi took a look at Qin Chu Chu's powder jar and tea canister. Although they were slightly rough, she didn't find anything unusual. However, she noticed that catnip was mixed in the scented powder, and she also discovered that the rose tea in the tea canister, when steeped in hot water, turned into a deep pink color. This indicated that poison had been added to the rose tea. Based on these observations, Qin Chu Chu was most likely poisoned to death.
At that moment, two masked individuals broke in through the window, attempting to kill Kong Qiqi. Fortunately, Chai Hu and Mu Zhixi acted swiftly and captured the assassins. However, before they could extract any information, one of the assassins committed suicide. Kong Qiqi found a blank book in a hidden compartment under Qin Chu Chu's bed, but it seemed to be of no use.
Kong Qiqi went to Yunyuan to meet the old Taoist priest, who gave her a divination that was cast two months ago. The celestial phenomenon of a blood moon and seven stars aligned on the 15th of last month coincided with the priest's divination. The Astronomical Bureau also obtained the same divination, and the Crown Prince is also searching for the person who can interpret it. Kong Qiqi wanted to find a way to decipher the divination. The old Taoist priest told her that she could only unravel the celestial secrets by utilizing the assistance of the Five Elements. After returning home, Kong Qiqi found herself alone in the room, contemplating a solution.
Mu Zhixi summarized the recent cases Kong Qiqi had been investigating. The Shen Wanliang embezzlement case involved gold, the Xiao Wan drowning case was related to water, and the Yin'an silver arson case involved fire. The only missing elements were earth and wood, and he was worried that if Kong Qiqi received a case involving those elements, it could jeopardize her ability to decipher the celestial secrets. Therefore, he advised her not to get involved in Magistrate Cai's cases anymore.
