An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 366

"……" Yun Shang thought for a while and said, "I had no choice at that time. Please forgive me."

"You can call me Yinfeng." Liu Yinfeng smiled like a fox.

Yun Shang frowned, but she was eager to know what the so-called incense of Buddha was. After a moment's silence, she cursed in her heart, 'Fox Liu.' But she gave a faint smile and said, "Yinfeng."

Liu Yinfeng nodded, his smile deepened and his voice was full of tenderness, "the scent of Buddha is a common product of some famous killers in the state of Xia. It is used to mislead people's mind. The target would be drowsy. If someone is a little weak in will, he may have to answer the questions. However, this is weak in body, but it needs to be very weak in health. It is often effective for patients. If the dose were a little larger, people would directly pass out. But there is one flaw of the incense. It's a long-lasting and persistent scent. If the incense is not properly handled, it is very likely to reveal its whereabouts. "

Yun Shang kept silent on Prince Jing's words. She now know why the odour of the oil in the prison was so strong that day. She guessed that the culprit was probably trying to mask the special smell of the incense of buddha. Since it belonged to the state of Xia, how could the crown prince of the the State of Xia not know it? And the emperor of the state of Xia also knew it. In order to cover up the truth, they used a lot of oil to make the illusion that it was burning in the prison.

The door wasn't broken, but Hua Jing had been replaced. There were many traps in the prison, but the guards were not activated. All Hua Jing needed to do was to verify whether the guards in the prison were cured or not.

"Since his crown prince has been in jail for such a long time, the emperor of the state of Xia would have saved him if he wished. Why?" Yun Shang looked at Liu Yinfeng and asked the question she had been thinking about.

Liu Yinfeng grinned and said, "The crown prince... The emperor never fancies the crown prince, and... "

And he suddenly stopped, smiling and squinting. "These are some secrets of the state of Xia. It's not the right time to tell you."

Yun Shang fell silent. Since the Emperor didn't like Xia Houjing, why did he appoint Xia Houjing as the crown prince?

The doubts in Yun Shang's eyes were too obvious, so Liu Yinfeng smiled again, "why do you want Liu Qingya to be the empress, not your mother?"

Yun Shang looked at Liu Yinfeng with curiosity. She thought she had made a perfect plan. Although the man in front of her wasn't in the imperial city before, he knew the story and spoke it out in front of her. On the other hand, Yun Shang had found the answer to her former question. She supported Liu Qingya to be the empress because the empress was the most hated one. If she set another person up, she would be able to prevent her mother from revenge.

It was clear that Xia Huanyu's aim to make Xia Houjing the crown prince was revealed.

"When you were at the frontier, you were on good terms with the crown prince. What happened to him? Why are you..."

"Why don't I save him?" His majesty is always the only one I'm loyal to." Liu Yinfeng said with a smile

Liu Yinfeng looked very calm, but Yun Shang suddenly realized that she asked too much. Perhaps it was because Liu Yinfeng had explained to her the effect of the incense of Buddha and his attitude that relieved her vigilance.

At the thought of this, Yun Shang fell into silence again. She sat there with a frown, and started to figure out the perpetrator. As it was used by the killer organization of the state of Xia, the perpetrator must be from the state of Xia. And the people of the state of Xia...

Since Xia Houjing was dead, everyone was suspicious of Prince Jing. By doing this, who would benefit the most?

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes. Xia Houjing and Prince Jing had the same identity now. They were both sons of Xia Huanyu. There were only two possibilities for the murder of son of Xia Huanyu. One was that he hated Xia Huanyu so much, and the other was that he wanted to get something that could only be obtained for the son of Xia Huanyu, such as the throne.

If he had a deep grudge against Xia Huanyu, why didn't he just kill him directly? In consideration of his great strengths, it was possible for him to go all out and kill Xia Huanyu. As for the second type of persons, they were only the other children of Xia Huanyu.

The most likely one was Xia Houyan, the seventh Prince of the state of Xia.

Yun Shang frowned slightly. She finally figured out why Xia Houjing was killed instead of taking away gHua Jing. The seventh Prince of the state of Xia and Li Jingyan both went in and out of the state of Xia, so they must be acquainted with each other. The prince of the state of Xia wanted the crown prince to die, and that was their main purpose. After all, Li Jingyan was Hua Jing's grandfather, so it was natural that he wanted to protect Hua Jing from being killed.

What's more, Li Jingyan was able to arrange for the assassins of the state of Xia to come and go freely in the imperial city. He might even take advantage of the secret piles that he had buried for decades. Xia Houyan was not a fool to trade Hua Jing for the crown prince's life. It was a good deal.
