"What are these things that look like clay dishes?" Zhu Yu asked.
"These are used in my home to hold the prepared spices. They are sent to the Prince Mansion for inspection to see if they meet the standards.
While they can't hold much, they are small and easy to carry, and they don't leak scent. So there's no worry about the spices mixing scents when we take them to the Prince Mansion for inspection."
Back then, I thought, since I didn't need to carry much, just leaving a bit of evidence would be enough. Moreover, the spices have a very harmful effect... using these is much safer, wrapped in cloth and bound to yourself, they don't mix aromas, and it's not easy to be noticed."
"That's indeed a clever method," Zhu Yu said, looking at the several spice boxes that looked almost identical. "But which one contains the highly poisonous spices you mentioned?"
