But Leng Yiyan was surprised to find that the taste of the blood was sour and sweet. It turned out that this was the ketchup that Luo Nianxi brought back from Bao'an Hall. The taste was sour and sweet.

He pursed his lips and looked at her curiously.

"Madam, isn't this blood?"

Luo Nianxi laughed immediately, "This is sauce made from tomatoes."

As she spoke, she sat up from the bed, put her hand to her mouth, and muttered softly,

"Children, let's play a game now. Don't tell others that Mom is fine. Just say that Mom is injured, seriously injured."

Si Jin was the first to ask curiously,

"Mom, why do you say that?"

"Just do as your mother says. Also, you guys are not allowed to go out on the street or leave the house these few days. Do you understand?"

The three children looked at her in confusion, and Leng Yiyan asked directly:

"Madam, have you encountered an assassin?"

She nodded solemnly.

"Yes, and this assassin came prepared. It is obvious that someone is dissatisfied with our Prince Yan's Mansion."

A fierce look flashed across Leng Yiyan's brows, and then he clenched his fists and said hatefully:

"I am such a useless person. At this moment, I can't even get my memory back, and I can't even protect my woman and children."

"My husband, this is not your fault. For now, let's announce to the public that I am seriously injured and need to rest. Keep the other party stable and see what they will do next."

"Humph, they will definitely come to kill me next. I'll wait for them."

As he said this, a fierce look like fire seemed to burst out from his eyes.

……

The news that Princess Yan was assassinated and injured quickly spread throughout Chang'an City. Concubine Mei was worrying about what kind of reason she could find to let Princess Yan see the purse that Leng Yifei gave her, and now was the opportunity.

She immediately went to explain the matter to the emperor and expressed her willingness to visit Princess Yan on behalf of the emperor.

The emperor has always been very fond of Concubine Mei, and this time he kept praising her for being sensible, more sensible than the other concubines in the palace. For this reason, he specially asked her to bring some rewards to Prince Yan's Mansion.

When Bai Lan informed Luo Nianxi that Concubine Mei came to Prince Yan's mansion with gifts, she was quite surprised.

"She came to see me? I only met her on the day Queen Jiang passed away. Why did she come to see me suddenly?"

Bai Lan shook her head.

"I don't know, but she said that the emperor asked her to come."

If you put it that way, it does make sense.

She nodded immediately,

"Invite her in!"

After receiving the order, Bai Lan walked out quickly. After a while, Mei Fei came to Luo Nianxi under the guidance of Bai Lan.

She looked at Luo Nianxi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and asked with concern,

"I heard that Princess Yan was injured, but I didn't expect her to be so seriously injured."

Hearing her voice, Luo Nianxi opened her eyes and motioned Bai Lan to help her sit up.

She raised her hand to indicate,

"Please take a seat, Concubine Mei. I am not in a good condition and cannot stand up to greet you."

Mei Fei hurriedly pulled the round stool towards her and sat down. She was very close to her and suddenly she smelled a strange fragrance.

She frowned and sniffed again, only then did she confirm that this fragrance was exactly the same as the fragrance emanating from Queen Jiang's body before her death.

She raised the handkerchief in her hand to cover her mouth and coughed twice, then pretended to be curious and asked:

"Is Concubine Mei wearing a sachet? This smell is really nice, not like osmanthus or plum blossoms, what kind of flower is it?"

Seeing her deliberately smelling the fragrance of the purse, Concubine Mei felt a lot more relaxed.

She took the purse from her waist and held it in front of her eyes. While admiring it, she introduced it:

"This is the purse given to me by Consort Xian. I also think it smells good, so I always wear it with me..."

While saying this, she did not forget to put the purse under her nose and smell it.

The purse that Concubine Xian gave her?

This smell is the same as the smell that emanated from Queen Jiang before her death. Is this a coincidence, or?

She took a deep breath secretly, exchanged a few words with Concubine Mei, and then said in a hurry that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while. Concubine Mei left tactfully.

After seeing Concubine Mei off, she threw away the quilt on the bed, put on her shoes and went out.

Bai Lan came in at this time.

"Princess, is the scent of that purse the same as the scent on Queen Jiang's body?"

"Ah."

She frowned and nodded, "Exactly the same."

"Then Queen Jiang's death is related to Concubine Xian?"

"It's hard to say. There are two possibilities. First, Concubine Mei did not lie. The purse was really given to her by Concubine Xian. Then Concubine Xian must have something to do with Queen Jiang's death."

At this point, she lowered her eyes, "Second, this purse is hers. She deliberately came to me at this time to let me find this purse so that she can put the blame on Concubine Xian."

Hearing this, Bai Lan looked at her alertly.

"Who is the person who wants to assassinate you? Is it related to this purse?"

"I don't know. Where's the prince?"

"He's out. The Eighth Prince sent someone to invite him."

The Eighth Prince Uncle knew that he had lost his memory, so nothing should happen if he came to invite him.

She nodded.

"You go out first. I'll take a nap. Call me when the prince comes back."

"it is good."

After receiving the order, Bai Lan turned around and left. She simply opened the Bao'an Hall door and walked in quickly.

She wanted to find out what that fragrance was.

She came to the office, turned on the computer, and input the smell she could describe in words into the computer. After a while, two words appeared on it: Agarwood, can help you sleep...

Agarwood?

She thought about it carefully and found that there was no other smell mixed in the fragrance. It was indeed only the smell of agarwood.

But this thing that helps people sleep can't be the thing that killed Queen Jiang, right?

Could it be that Queen Jiang had agarwood with the scent of purse on her body before she died?

This doesn't make sense. Before the burial, there would be a special person to clean her body and change her clothes. Apart from some burial jewelry and gold and silver, there would be no purse.

Then why does she smell good?

Or was this scent someone deliberately trying to divert her attention?

What about the fragrance on Concubine Mei’s body?

Was Queen Jiang's death related to Concubine Xian or Concubine Mei? Or was it someone else who murdered her?

This kind of lard made her fall into deep thought.

Eighth Prince's Mansion

Leng Yiyan and Leng Jin sat face to face, their faces looked heavy.

Leng Jin spoke first.

"What do you think about this matter?"

"Eighth Uncle, you understand my situation."

"It's true that you have lost your memory, but you should also have judgment on this matter."

"Please let me know, Uncle Eighth..."

He really felt powerless towards Leng Yiheng, but he had to do his best to help him achieve his great ambition.

As long as Princess Yan is not dead, Prince Yan's Mansion will definitely be on high alert. It would be obviously unwise to take action against Prince Yan's Mansion at this time.

The emperor's favorite person now is Concubine Mei.

If we start with her, perhaps it will be easier.

Thinking of this, after leaving Prince Heng's Mansion, he got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace.
