Secrets of Yuqing Palace

A light, pleasant woody sandalwood scent first drifted past the tip of my nose.

Then she seemed to smell a faint scent of powder and flowers, and a hint of spicy smell.

Aunt Li Jia frowned, "Something's wrong!"

Then she felt a chill in her heart, and with a serious expression, she held the teacup close to her nose and sniffed hard.

Looking at the solemn expression on Nanny Li Jia's face, Wanlin's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

[Could it be that what my third sister said was right? ]

A trace of horror flashed in Nanny Li Jia's eyes, and her hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly.

Seeing the drastic change in Nanny Li Jia's expression, Wanlin's dark eyes were now filled with coldness.

She understood without Li Jia Ma saying anything.

There's something wrong with this bed!

She said coldly, "Madame Li Jia has been with me for many years. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly. I can bear it."

At this moment, Nanny Li Jia felt both distressed and remorseful.

If she had been more cautious in her daily life, perhaps the concubine would have given birth to the little prince long ago.

She put down the teacup in her hand and said sadly, "It's fragrant but not pungent, but it smells a bit fishy when you smell it up close."

"Master, I smell the scent of musk."

She placed the teacup heavily on the table beside her and said bitterly, "The person behind this is truly very capable!"

"This red sandalwood has a natural fragrance. Even though the musk is pungent, it's covered by the red sandalwood's own fragrance, and the thick mattress and quilt on the bed. If you don't specifically lift it up and smell it closely, no one will be able to detect it!"

"And if we haven't noticed yet, the master will continue to sleep on this bed soaked in musk for years. I'm afraid he will be completely childless!"

"Master, the person behind this is truly vicious!"

"Now how should we deal with this matter?"

Wanlin was also very scared at this time.

She never thought that the bed she slept on every day was soaked in musk.

[No wonder I haven't had any pregnancy news in over a year!]

[Who on earth could do this so secretly?!]

[Luckily I discovered it early. If I had waited longer, I might never have been able to have children again!]

[The person behind the scenes is very scheming! ]

"Mammy, does anyone have any suspicions?"

Nanny Li Jia shook her head.

"Concubine, when you first entered the palace, we checked your wife."

"I don't believe that Madam Fu can have such great abilities!"

"But excluding Fu Jin, I still can't figure out who it could be."

Wanlin didn't believe it either.

This person is very scheming. If Fu Jin really had such powerful means, Honghui would not have died at the age of eight in his previous life.

Even after Honghui, there were no more children.

At this moment, Wanlin felt a chill in her heart.

She felt a big hand behind her, secretly controlling the Fourth Prince's backyard.

She didn't know whether it was just the Fourth Prince's harem that was like this, or whether it was also the case in the harems of other princes and other sons.

She sat weakly on the couch, muttering with a deep gaze.

"Mammy, what do you think we should do now?"

Nanny Li Jia met Wanlin's eyes, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Master, have you ever considered whether there will be traces of musk in your body after sleeping on this bed for over a year?"

"Why hasn't Doctor Wei made a diagnosis in over a year? Why hasn't he even said a word?"

Wanlin's expression turned stern and she sat up straight.

"Mammy, are you saying there's something wrong with Doctor Wei?"

Nanny Li Jia said, "Master, although there are mattresses and quilts on the bed, you have truly slept on it for more than a year."

"If the master hadn't been eroded by musk in the first six months since he moved in."

"Imperial Doctor Wei couldn't find out, but I think it's possible."

"But it's been over a year now. If there's not even the slightest trace of musk left on your body, I'd never believe it, even if I'm beaten to death!"

Wanlin's heart sank, and she realized that what Li Jia's analysis made sense.

"It seems that there is really something wrong with this Doctor Wei."

Nanny Li Jia whispered, "Master, this Imperial Physician Wei must be the Fourth Master's confidant."

"It can't be the Fourth Master..."

Wanlin shook her head and said with certainty, "It can't be the Fourth Master!"

She couldn't think of any reason why the Fourth Master wouldn't want her to have a child.

She is the cousin of the Crown Princess. If she gives birth to a child soon, it will be beneficial not only to the Guaerjia clan behind her, but also to the relationship with the Crown Prince, which will be very beneficial to the Fourth Master.

And she could see that the Fourth Master had no intention of seizing the throne.

It can even be said that the current royal princes have not yet conceived the idea of ​​competing for the throne.

Even the eldest prince, who was in competition with the crown prince, was only unwilling to give in, so he had been competing with the crown prince for the emperor's attention since he was a child.

What really made the eldest prince think of seizing the throne was probably after he actually entered politics, when he gradually began to have this idea.

In this case, it is very important to win over the crown prince, the heir to the throne!

If it was for the sake of the Fourth Lady, he would not have only been on guard against himself and let the two concubines, Song and Li, get pregnant before the Lady.

So she was very sure that the Fourth Master would definitely not be the one behind this.

Aunt Li Jia: "Then this matter..."

Wanlin said with certainty, "I'm afraid there's someone else behind Doctor Wei."

Nanny Li Jia was shocked and asked, "Master, should we report this to the Fourth Master immediately?"

Wanlin was a little hesitant.

Because she even had some suspicions, was this person behind the scenes the culprit who caused so many of the Fourth Master's children to die young in his previous life?

If that's the case, once the person behind this is found out and all of the Fourth Master's children grow up, it will definitely be a huge threat to her future children!

Especially since Fu Jin's Honghui is the legitimate son, he poses the greatest threat.

And Li has three princes and one princess.

Even later, Nian gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Even the children she gave birth to were named by the Fourth Master individually, all with the character "Fu" in their names.

This unique favor, if the three princes grow up, with the favor of the Fourth Master and the power of the Nian family, the threat they pose is no less than that of Fu Jin's Honghui!

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!

What's more, she has been planning since her rebirth, and it is impossible for her to give up just like that!

The relationship between her and those women and their children was one of conflicting interests.

She believed that if those women had the chance to harm her, they would definitely not show mercy.

Don't say that children are innocent.

She just didn't expose the truth and didn't take the initiative to harm anyone.

If they have the ability to guard against the plots against them by those behind the scenes, then that is their own ability.

I won't interfere and harm others, but I won't be stupid enough to save them!

After thinking for half a cup of tea, Wanlin looked straight at Nanny Li Jia with her dark eyes.

"Mammy, what happened today is known to heaven, earth, you, and me!"

"I don't want anyone else to know about this except you and me, understand?"

Nanny Li Jia felt a little frightened by the look from her own master.

Although she didn't know why her master didn't report the matter to the Fourth Master and ask him to help her find the murderer, she was still smart enough to kneel down and kowtow immediately.

"Master, this servant belongs to you."

"I will do whatever my master commands, and I will never dare to judge my master!"

Wanlin nodded in satisfaction, "Mammy, please get up."

"Mammy has watched me grow up, so I naturally trust her."

"I just wanted to remind Madam."

Nanny Li Jia stood up obediently.

But there was still some worry on her face.

"Master, we don't know who is behind this. If we don't find this person, I'm afraid he will use other means to deal with you."

Wanlin waved her hand, "Don't worry, Madam. I will make the decision myself."
