Her sense of smell is particularly keen. Anyone with a little wealth cannot avoid pretending to be cultured. There is no one who doesn't like fragrance, but everyone has different preferences for fragrance. Even the same fragrance made by different people or used by different people will have different scents due to usage habits.
Shen Xihe could say this to Bu Shulin, but she would not say it to Xiao Changying: "Why is His Royal Highness Prince Lie looking for your daughter?"
After asking casually, Shen Xihe turned around and glanced at Mo Yu, who was carrying the frightened and desperate Ling Long away.
"My princess, why are you asking when you already know the answer?" Xiao Changying leaned against the window with his arms folded. "My princess, there are some things that you should return to their original owners."
Shen Xihe's misty eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "When did I steal someone else's things?"
Xiao Changying said solemnly: "Princess, those things are of no use to you. If they fall into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will cause disaster and shake the government. I hope that the princess can return them. I will repay the princess for saving my life one day."
"Your Highness Prince Lie is the king, and I am a subject. Saving Your Highness is my duty, so you don't need to worry." She didn't mention a word about what Xiao Changying asked for.
"Princess, you should think twice." Xiao Changying said coldly.
Shen Xihe remained calm: "Your Highness Prince Lie, you really don't need to worry about what I did casually that day."
It was noon, the sun was at its brightest, and the scorching sunlight poured in through the window, hitting Xiao Changying's back, making his face look even colder.
Shen Xihe turned a blind eye, remaining calm and composed, his silence revealing a self-righteousness and a fearlessness that made people grit their teeth.
Of course she had nothing to fear. She was the legitimate daughter of the King of the Northwest, and no one dared to attack her easily. Didn't the Prince Kang's Mansion waste a chess piece that it had painstakingly cultivated for ten years to make her suffer
Now the person has fallen into her hands. Even though Prince Kang's Mansion has the emperor's favor, it has stirred up a hornet's nest this time.
Xiao Changying's lips suddenly relaxed a little: "This king is very curious."
Shen Xihe's eyes were calm and his expression was calm, waiting for his next words.
"Which brother was favored by the princess? She came all the way here despite her illness to seize those things from me."
At this moment, Xiao Changying had to admit that Shen Xihe was not coming for him. When he was being chased, he vaguely felt that there were many external forces adding fuel to the fire.
When he first met Shen Xihe, he thought it was a beauty trap arranged by Shen Yueshan for him. But now he realized that Shen Xihe was indeed as she said. She looked down on him as a person. What she looked at was the evidence that he had gone deep into Yangzhou for half a year, lost half of the secret guards he had carefully trained, and almost lost his life.
Shen Yueshan never gets involved in the internal struggles of the court. This piece of evidence was definitely not authorized by Shen Yueshan. What he wants most is nothing more than the princes, either to save themselves, to show kindness, or to keep it as a handle. The implications are so wide that no one would not be tempted.
His mother is the agent of the harem. Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one is more noble than him. People chasing after him are like carp crossing the river. In his seventeen years of life, this is the first time that someone has ignored him and plotted against him again and again!
This time he was ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter, but he brought nothing back, which would surely disappoint his father.
"Maybe... it's my younger brother?" Shen Xihe said jokingly, and also tactfully told him that the things had indeed been taken away and sent to one of his brothers, so he should stop pestering her.
