An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 680

Yun Shang raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose with it. Then she turned around and asked, "did you smell a scent?" Before they could answer, Yun Shang had already put down the oil lamp in her hand, smiled and said, "it is the scent that almost killed Lady Hui's unborn child."

As soon as Yun Shang stopped, Luo Qingyan was the first one to react. He hurriedly walked in front of Yun Shang and threw the table, chair and screen out of the hall.

"Is the scent special?" The empress opened her mouth. There was confusion in her eyes.

Yun Shang smiled and said gently, "the freshly made furniture will be covered with a layer of oil in case of worms or cracks. The oil's scent was extremely strong by nature, and the excessive smell would do no good to human body, especially to pregnant women. And those things were just fresh made and had not dissipated the smell of the oil. They were sent to Lady Hui's bedroom. In order to cover the strong smell of the oil, they added some lily flowers. The lily flowers looked very beautiful, and the fragrance was fresh and elegant, but it would cause miscarriage. The combination of these two things is fatal to the baby in Lady Hui's belly. "

Frowning, the empress pondered for a moment and said, "but you grilled the table with the fire just now, which gave off the scent. Normally, lady Hui wouldn't roast those things for nothing, right?"

"Your Majesty, as it is in winter, there is always a pot of fire in the hall, and the scent will be much stronger."

Yun Shang hesitated before she continued, "In fact, when the baby in Lady Hui's womb was instable last time, I found something strange in these furniture. I have reported it to his majesty. But we didn't know who was behind all this, so I followed his Majesty's orders and he asked me not to make any sound. So I came up with a way to let the furniture be covered with a thick layer of candle oil. After the wax cool down, these smell could be prevented from spreading. I have used the fire to melt the wax. "

The empress frowned. It seemed that she was somewhat unhappy. But in consideration to Xia Huanyu's presence, she could not show her unhappiness. She only snorted coldly and kept her mouth shut.

Xia Huanyu kept turning the jade ring around his thumb and looked at Yun Shang. "Today, you asked someone to move these things out. Did you find the murderer?"

Yun Shang hesitated before answering, "yes."

"Really? Who is it? " Hearing that, Xia Huanyu paused slightly with his eyes flashing and the corners of his mouth raising.

After a long silence, Yun Shang answered in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it was Lady Xian who had those furniture made."

Since Yun Shang came out just now, Lady Xian had been sitting quietly beside her without speaking. She seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts. When she heard Yun Shang mention her, she suddenly came to her senses, jumped up as if there was a needle on the chair, and roared in a certain sharp voice, "nonsense! Your majesty, lady Rui made a wild guess. It's not me. I have never hurt the child. I didn't hurt Lady Hui's child, and I didn't give her these things. "

She would not give up until Yun Shang had the evidences.

Yun Shang smiled and said: "just now when I was in the inner hall, I asked Lady Hui who has visited her these days. I think Lady Xian must come very often. "

Lady Xian didn't answer, her face pale. But Yun Shang didn't want to get any answer from her, so she continued, "you're the most frequent one who visits her, especially after the accident that happened to Lady Hui. And you just wanted to know how those things would work. You wanted to know whether Lady Hui was using them or whether I had found them. Do you feel at ease every time you enter the inner hall from here and see those furniture in her bedroom? "

Yun Shang sneered and suddenly changed her tone, "Even if you saw Lady Hui had been using these pieces of furniture all the time, even today when there was an accident to Lady Hui and the baby in her womb was dying, you still felt very worried. You were afraid that the baby in Lady Hui's womb would be too lucky and survive, so you deliberately bribed a refinery assistant in the imperial hospital called Ming Cai, whose mother was a servant in Lady Xian's father's mansion. When I asked someone to fill the prescription in the the Imperial Hospital, you asked the assistant to put some musk in it. "

The sweat quietly slipped down from Lady Xian's forehead, her face bloodless. The brocade handkerchief in her hand was also condensed into a ball. Perhaps it was because of too much force that her fingernails stained with rouge were broken.

"Lady Xian, am I right?" Yun Shang smiled coldly and looked her in the eye.
