Mrs. Xu stared at Mrs. Shen's face closely, while Lan Xin also searched Mrs. Shen carefully.
After searching up and down twice, she found nothing wrong. Madam Shen said casually, "Miss Lanxin, is there anything wrong with me?"
Lan Xin looked over coldly, "Not yet..."
She didn't believe at all that Mrs. Shen was innocent. These people had just left Prince Yan's Mansion for a while, and who knew if they had done anything.
Seeing that her mother was fine, Shen Xuanxuan finally felt relieved and said quickly, "Lan Xin, look at me too..."
They didn't doubt Shen Xuanxuan, but Lan Xin naturally wouldn't let her go and checked her one by one.
Lan Xin took a sachet from Shen Xuanxuan, smelled it, and then frowned.
Seeing the sachet, Shen Xuanxuan's heart skipped a beat and she asked blankly, "Is there any problem?"
"Miss Shen carries this sachet with her every day?" Lan Xin asked with a serious face.
"It's been hot lately, so I brought it with me to keep away mosquitoes and calm my nerves..."
"Calm the mind? Where did Miss Shen ask for this? I'm afraid she was deceived..."
Lan Xin said coldly that this sachet did not have any special smell, but that was exactly why it was strange.
Mrs. Xu's expression froze. She took the sachet and smelled it carefully. The more she smelled, the more she felt something was wrong. Then she opened it with a sullen face.
The two twisted the spices and herbs inside with their fingers. After looking at them for a while, Mrs. Xu suddenly said angrily, "Okay, Miss Shen, would you like to explain to me what is going on with the musk mixed in this sachet?"
The smell of musk is very special, but several herbs are deliberately put into the sachet to neutralize the scent of musk. It shows a very clever technique.
The smell from the sachet was nothing special. It couldn't be detected even by those who came into contact with it. It was impossible to detect it without careful inspection. Even they were almost fooled.
Shen Xuanxuan gritted her teeth and said, "Madam Xu, I don't know what happened, but I definitely don't mean to harm the princess."
Song Le'er was also shocked and a little bit unbelieving. She quickly helped to explain, "Madam Xu, there must be some misunderstanding. Sister Shen would never harm the princess. When we were in Yunzhou, the doctor warned us not to use things that pregnant women should avoid. Things like musk should be kept away from us and we should never dare to touch them. If Sister Shen intended to harm us, she would not have waited until today..."
Shen Xuanxuan and Madam Shen both knelt down. Madam Shen hurriedly said, "Please Madam Xu, Xuanxuan doesn't know anything about pharmacology. Madam Xu looked carefully at the musk in it and only then could she tell. How could Xuanxuan have discovered it..."
Shen Xuanxuan lowered her eyes and said, "Xuanxuan has absolutely no intention of harming the princess..."
Madam Xu sneered, "Mosquito repellent and calming incense would never contain this stuff. The other herbs in it are useless. They are all used to cover up the existence of musk. This is intentional. Miss Shen, can you tell me where this sachet came from?"
"I... I had my servants buy it. I don't know where it came from, but I took a quick look at it after I got it. It didn't have the fragrance that the doctor said pregnant women couldn't smell. That's why I dared to bring it with me to see the princess..."
Madam Xu has been in the palace for so many years and has experienced many secrets, big and small. How could she believe that this was a coincidence?
"It's easy to ask the servants to buy it. Qingshuang, go to Murong's house and tell the second young master everything that happened today. Ask him to take people to the Shen Mansion. I want to see where this sachet came from and how it happened to end up on Miss Shen's body..." Madam Xu directly ordered.
"Yes, I'll go right away," Qingshuang turned around and walked out the door.
Madam Song and Song Le'er had complicated expressions. They said it was a misunderstanding, but it was indeed too coincidental. It was no wonder that Madam Xu didn't believe it, but Song Le'er still believed that Shen Xuanxuan would definitely not harm the princess. But as for the Shen family, they were afraid that they could not escape suspicion this time.
"Don't disturb the princess here in advance, let her have a good rest. Xiaoxiao trusts Miss Shen so much, it's best that Miss Shen really doesn't know about this!" Mrs. Xu said coldly again.
"Yes!"
Shen Xuanxuan lowered her head and glanced at Mrs. Shen, with a somewhat unnatural and worried look on her face.
Qingshuang rushed to Murong's house as quickly as possible and told them what had happened.
After hearing this, Murong Xuan's face turned cold, and he left without saying anything else. Everything was peaceful in Yunzhou, but when he returned to Yongzhou, there were people with bad intentions.
"Is Xiao girl okay?" Mrs. Murong was a little angry when she heard the news.
Qing Shuang said quickly, "Madam, the princess is fine, she just had a miscarriage. But the princess' pregnancy was finally settled, so Madam Xu was also angry..."
"What a Shen family! Go to the palace!" the old lady said angrily.
"Mother, calm down. I will go with you," Madam Murong quickly supported her and comforted her. The old lady is old now and cannot worry too much.
Madam Murong nodded, "The second son's wife should not go. Take good care of Xihan. She and Xiao girl have always been good friends. Don't let her be distracted..."
"I understand, mother. You can go and see Xiao girl!" Second Madam Murong said in a deep voice.
Madam Murong and Old Madam Murong followed Qingshuang directly into the hall of the palace. After seeing the two people kneeling on the ground, they snorted coldly.
"Mrs. Xu!" The two of them bowed to Mrs. Xu who was sitting at the top of the table.
"Madam Hou, Madam, you are here, please take a seat!" Madam Xu said quickly.
The two of them were not polite. After Old Madam Murong sat down, she looked at the two people on the ground and asked, "Are Madam Shen and Miss Shen really unaware of the sachet?"
Madam Shen quickly spoke up, "Madam Hou, this must be a misunderstanding. Xuanxuan has always been on good terms with the princess, and this girl wore the sachet unintentionally. How could she know what was in it..."
Madam Murong sneered, "Whether it was intentional or unintentional, we will know in a moment..."
Madam Xu said coldly, "Madam Hou is right. We just need to wait for the Second Young Master to bring people back. We will eventually find out, and we will not wrongly accuse anyone..."
Shen Tao was still fighting outside. Without real evidence, they couldn't do anything to these people. Although no serious consequences had been caused, they had dared to hurt her little grandson in the palace. She would never let it go like this...
Soon, Murong Xuan returned with several maids and nannies from the Shen Mansion, followed by Cui Hao and Xia Fan who had returned from outside the city. They only found out after receiving the report. They didn't expect that these people would dare to think of murdering the princess just after they had been away for a short while.
After throwing several people from the Shen Mansion to the ground, Murong Xuan bowed to the people at the top.
