In an instant, Xiao Huayong's eyes were opened. He had never known why Shen Xihe could always guess his identity. Now he knew!
It's a fragrant bath!
He is a medicine jar because of the poisoning. If he is not a real medicine jar, he would not have been able to hide it from Your Majesty for so many years. Those medicines are real medicines and they are real medicines that need to be taken, so he has a strong smell of medicine on his body.
Every time he disguised himself, he would bathe in scented water to wash off the smell of medicine on his body. Unexpectedly, this deceived others, but not her.
The scent of the fragrant soup after bathing was not strong, at least Tian Yuan and he himself could not smell it, but that did not mean that Shen Xihe could not smell it.
So this is God's will
It was her, only her!
In order to confirm his guess, Xiao Huayong asked softly: "You know that Princess Dai has met the fourth brother, and that's why..."
Shen Xihe nodded gently: "Everyone has a different scent to me. Even if it is the same kind of spices and the same fragrance, but the ratio is different, I can still detect the difference. Yesterday, Princess Dai had... the agarwood and incense that the Fourth Prince usually uses on her."
Shen Xihe was honest about this because they wanted to have a long-term cooperation in the future. She could fool him now, but after they got married, they would be together day and night. With Xiao Huayong's intelligence, he would definitely notice it. Since it couldn't be concealed, there was no need to be mysterious.
Xiao Huayong's heart was like ice and fire at this moment. The coldness came from the fact that he knew he was finished. Shen Xihe was so sensitive to fragrance that she must not have seen the Togaro bracelet that she brought with her at her coming-of-age ceremony. This kind of top-grade Togaro was extremely rare, and the Togaro he was using now was evolved from the same agarwood, and the scent was exactly the same.
As long as he sees the bracelet, he will be exposed.
What was so exciting was that Shen Xihe actually took the initiative to tell her about his talent. This meant that what he had done these days must have touched her. Otherwise, with her personality, she would not have told him in advance even if she knew she could not hide it from him in the future.
This was the first time in his life that he was so panicked. He wanted to tell her everything, but he couldn't muster up the courage. She had only treated him a little better. Once he opened his mouth, would she go back to her old ways
The tenderness she gave him was so little, so little that as soon as he tried a little, he was afraid of losing it again.
He knew that he couldn't keep it a secret forever, he knew that being honest now might be the best opportunity, he knew that hiding it like this was not a good idea, but he was too attached to her kindness to him, he just wanted to enjoy it for a little longer, that's all.
"I..." He opened his mouth with difficulty, but the words wouldn't come out. He despised himself and hated himself for being like this, but the inexplicable panic in his heart made him swallow back what he wanted to say.
"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" Shen Xihe noticed that Xiao Huayong suddenly turned pale, and even sweat was oozing out of his forehead. Shen Xihe was very worried, so she immediately stood up and supported Xiao Huayong's arm.
"Ah Xi, Zhenzhu..." Shen Xihe called hurriedly.
"Yo yo, I..." Xiao Huayong opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Oh no, His Highness is poisoned!" Tian Yuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted to the outside, "Quick, go get the imperial physician—"
