Liuhexiang is made from exotic spices and is very expensive. A small bottle costs hundreds of taels of silver, which can be said to be sky-high.
This kind of incense is generally used by those discerning scholars. It is arty and flaunts itself as an alternative. This should not be Chu Ting's style.
The fact that he used spices only meant that he wanted to hide something. The first thing Shen Mingzhu thought of was the smell of blood.
Seeing a hint of understanding in Xiao Xian's eyes, she added, "My lord, who can kill the emperor's secret guards in such a short period of time and then escape unscathed?"
The emperor's secret guards are not idiots, and they shouldn't be so fragile. A good explanation is that these people may have been drugged by the person who killed Wen Songzhi, so that they can be killed in the shortest time and then escape.
And if it is Chu Ting, it is not easy for him to run here from the palace. He can change all his clothes, but he may not have time to take a shower, so it is inevitable that there will be lingering fragrance and fragrance on his body.
The best way to mix the smell of blood is to cover it up with another spice.
After thinking about this, Chu Ting's behavior can be easily explained.
But this is still their speculation and intuition. Without solid evidence, Chu Ting cannot be convicted.
And for Shen Mingzhu, she only cared about who killed Wen Songzhi. The death of the emperor and empress was not a big deal to her.
In her heart, the emperor's current appearance was actually worse than death. What's the point of living by relying on elixirs? He was just a walking corpse, and it was even harder to say for the queen.
Shen Mingzhu naturally got the news about the fact that the Queen rushed into the Crown Prince's Mansion and beat the Crown Princess Shen Yunluo until she was dying. She also knew that Shen Yunluo was beaten too hard and the Queen's people were left to guard her and no one was allowed to rescue her.
So Shen Yunluo died after struggling all night.
Shen Yunluo was her enemy from the beginning. If Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian hadn't left later, she might have killed Shen Yunluo long ago.
However, Shen Mingzhu had already decided that her revenge against Shen Yunluo and Xiao Che was not revenge in the simple sense, but killing them was meaningless. What she wanted was to break their will so that they would never get what they wanted.
They can only live in resentment and dissatisfaction with their desires for the rest of their lives. This is the ending that Shen Mingzhu has set for them.
If Shen Yunluo wants to be the queen, then if she keeps Xiao Che from sitting on the throne, then she won't be able to be the queen.
Unfortunately, things backfired as Shen Yunluo did too much and actually killed himself, the Crown Princess.
If she hadn't climbed onto the queen's head to seduce the emperor, the queen probably wouldn't have been so ruthless, especially since the news vaguely said that Shen Yunluo seemed to be pregnant with the emperor's child, which would be even more incredible.
I'm afraid it was because of this incident that the queen completely gave up on the emperor and turned against the emperor. The emperor wanted to get rid of her, but she also wanted to get rid of the emperor and become the queen mother herself. Unexpectedly, it was a snipe and a clam fighting over each other.
Already.
Is that man in black Chu Ting?
She was certain in her heart, but the evidence was not that easy to find. Chu Ting was a cunning fox, but he did not show his tail so easily.
This time she and Xiao Xian came to Chu Ting to ask him questions, but unexpectedly he used the trick of "walking away" to get rid of them. Although they couldn't test it out, they confirmed her guess.
