Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Scent of that Night

The guard glanced at Chu Qianli but did not answer her question.

Consort Jin could not help but let out a cold laugh.

The annoyance she had just felt was now considerably alleviated in her heart.

This enchantress still truly thought she was the Princess of this place!

Pity that even the guards were unwilling to listen to her.

Chu Qianli pursed her lips, looking coldly at the guard.

After the guard had offered a salute to everyone, he finally said to Qing Ming, "My lord, I have retrieved the items."

Qing Ming went over to receive them, dismissed the guard, and then personally presented the items to Feng Yexuan.

An exquisite incense burner, along with a box of sandalwood.

"It’s Yuqing Wood Sandalwood!" After all, Consort Jin had lived in the palace for decades, what fine things had she not seen?

She busily said, "Xuanxuan, this Yuqing Wood Sandalwood is extremely precious, I have been in the palace for many years and have only ever obtained half a box!"

The main reason being that the raw materials were too precious, taken from the summit of Mount Yuqing.

Mount Yuqing was not a place where just anyone could go, and the summit was even less accessible to even the top martial masters.

Therefore, this Yuqing Wood Sandalwood was extremely rare!

"You enchantress, Miss Yu gave you such precious items, and not only are you ungrateful, but you even slander her with malicious intent!"

Consort Jin glared at Chu Qianli, her eyes red with anger, "You truly are heartless!"

Chu Qianli didn’t even spare her a glance, her gaze fixed firmly on Feng Yexuan.

Feng Yexuan, after inspecting the Yuqing Wood Sandalwood for a moment, looked up at her indifferently, "There is nothing wrong with these items."

This Yuqing Wood Sandalwood, plain and elegant, transparent and gentle, was truly a rare treasure.

He had looked carefully, and inside and out, the Yuqing Wood had not been tampered with anything.

But he did not react with the same haste and anger as Consort Jin; instead, he looked at Chu Qianli with an unexplainable gleam in his eyes.

This woman, after two days with him, was completely different from the impression she had given him before.

Although he still greatly loathed her schemes against him, at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

The more the situation seemed to be against her, the more he wanted to see what tricks she still had up her sleeve.

He better not be disappointed!

Consort Jin erupted, "Even the Prince has said there’s nothing wrong with the items, do you still want to malign Miss Yu?"

Yu Linglong looked at Chu Qianli, her eyes calm and undisturbed, neither sad nor happy, still very quiet.

Chu Qianli smiled, "Miss Yu certainly knows where the problem lies."

Yu Linglong said faintly, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Miss Chu, just speak plainly."

But in her eyes, there was a faint hint of caution.

This nearly invisible defensiveness was very clear to Chu Qianli.

She looked at Feng Jinrui, "That day, the Fourteenth Prince didn’t consume anything given by Cuicui and me, correct?"

"Correct."

"Yet Ruirui also said, upon entering he smelled a fragrance, which must have been used by you..."

"It’s this scent." Feng Jinrui pointed to the Yuqing Wood held in Feng Yexuan’s hands.

"That night, the scent I smelled must have been that of the Yuqing Wood Sandalwood."

Though now the Yuqing Wood had not been lit and the scent was faint, he still recognized it.

"This scent from the Yuqing Wood is harmless to the human body; on the contrary, it has a calming and tranquilizing effect," said Chu Qianli.

Consort Jin couldn’t contain herself, "So, the good item Miss Yu gave you has now become your evidence to slander her!"

Chu Qianli was really a bit annoyed and waved her hand:

"Prince, if you wish to hear the truth, please could you get this noisy lady to shut her mouth first?"
