Ning Qian and Lin Youran were both taken aback, then took a deep breath, looked at each other and shook their heads: "No, we haven't heard anything."

Yun Chang frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Qin Yi who was following behind her, "Did you ask?"

Qin Yi pondered for a while, and then said with a bit of hesitation: "The servant just smelled a little bit when he first entered the room, but the smell is too weak, so he just needs to stand in the room for a while and then he can't smell it. Yes. The servant girl thought about it carefully, and felt that the smell was somewhat familiar, and she should have smelled it in other places."

Yun Shang thought that Qin Yi would also say that she hadn't heard it, and wondered if it was her own hallucination, but she didn't expect Qin Yi to feel the same way, and a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Since Qin Yi has also heard it, it is not my illusion." Yun Shang said softly.

Knowing that there was a strange faint fragrance in the house, Yunshang took Qin Yi to keep going in and out of the house together, intending to find something from the fleeting fragrance, but just went back and forth for more than a dozen times. No progress at all.

Yun Chang frowned, and felt that her method seemed to be wrong. Since the fragrance is only found in this house, it should be found from the house.

On New Year's Eve, when Yunshang took Lin Youran's pulse, everything was normal, but now she suddenly became pregnant, which must have just happened during this period of time.

Moreover, the side hall of Xiangzhu Hall was originally supposed to be uninhabited, and there shouldn't be any problems. Lin Youran's coming to live in this side hall should have been extremely sudden...

"After Youran moved here, what did you bring in?" Yunshang went to the bed and sat down, asking softly.

Lin Youran thought for a while, and then said: "I was afraid that the things in the store before would be tampered with, so I almost didn't bring anything when I checked into the side hall of the Xiangzhu Hall. The clothes were ordered by the concubine Xianggui The utensils for eating and drinking are also brought into the palace from outside the palace, almost all the furniture in this shop is newly made, and I brought them here three days after I moved into the side hall."

Yun Chang glanced around the furnishings in the store, according to this, everything in this room is possible.

Yun Shang was thinking about it, but Qin Yi suddenly clapped her hands, Yun Shang turned her head to look at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi hurriedly said to Yun Shang: "I have always felt that the scent is familiar, but I can't remember it at all. Just now, the servant heard Hui Zhaoyi say that almost everything in this room was newly made, and the servant suddenly remembered what it smelled like."

"What's the smell?" Yun Shang hurriedly asked.

"Newly made wooden furniture, in order to prevent moths and insects, and prevent furniture from cracking, a thin layer of oil will be applied on the surface. The servants don't know what kind of oil it is, but the oil smells like this. And generally speaking, the smell of this oil dissipates relatively quickly, unless it is furniture that has just been made, it will have this smell." Qin Yi responded with a courtesy.

"Oil? The oil on the surface of the furniture?" Yun Shang heard the words, pondered for a moment, then stood up, leaned close to the bedpost of the big mahogany bed where Lin Youran was lying, and smelled it lightly. She really smelled a faint fragrance . Yun Chang walked to the table and chair next to the bed in two steps, bent down and smelled the table, and it also had that smell.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and found the source of the fragrance, but she was not sure whether the problem was due to the fragrance, so Yun Shang turned around and asked Ning Qian, "Where did these things come from?"

"The furniture in each palace and each hall is custom-made and distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After leisurely moving to the side hall, the original beds, tables and chairs in the side hall are old, so I asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a new set. Come here." Ning Qian replied softly.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Yun Chang frowned. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of all the needs of the harem, and the staff is extremely complicated. It is not difficult for someone who wants to do something with the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"The servant girl stayed in the Ningguo Palace for a long time, knowing that because some masters are very displeased with the smell of this oil, if it is the furniture sent by the House of Internal Affairs in the palace, it must be finished and then dried in the shade for a while It will be delivered to the various palaces in a certain time." Qin Yi said softly when she heard Ning Qian talking about it.

Yun Chang glanced at the room, the tables and chairs were newly made, the bed was newly made, and even the screen beside the bed was newly made. If there is a problem with this fragrance, it can be seen how deep the thoughts of the people behind the scenes are.

However, the most urgent task is to confirm that Lin Youran's fetal gas instability and even showing signs of redness are due to this table and chair.

Yun Chang thought for a while, and then said to Lin Youran: "Although I don't know if it's because of these things for the time being, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this room for a while."

Ning Qian also nodded, "Go to my bedroom to rest first, and wait for the princess to find out the matter."

Lin Youran was silent for a moment before answering. Ning Qian ordered the servants standing beside her to help Lin Youran walk to the main hall. After Lin Youran left, Ning Qian said softly: "Listen to what you said, I think it is very likely that these things are causing trouble. On the second day after Youran moved to this side hall, I ordered someone to go to the House of Internal Affairs to talk to them. At that time, I remember the reply from the palace man was, The mansion said that there are ready-made ones, and they will be delivered soon."

Ning Qian thought for a while before continuing: "But they didn't send it until the third day. I think it's because someone meddled in this matter and wanted to tamper with it, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to do it again. It’s a set, and I was afraid that we would notice the clues, and the smell would not even have time to dissipate, so I hurriedly sent it to us.”

Yun Shang also had this suspicion in her heart, thought for a while, then turned to Qin Yi and said, "Qin Yi, you go out of the palace and ask the carriage driver to take you to Qian Yin's place, and ask Qian Yin to find a trustworthy carpenter. "

Qin Yi nodded, and was about to go out, but Ning Qian frowned and said, "But even if you find a carpenter, this palace is not a place where anyone can come and leave as soon as they say..."

Qin Yi stopped when she heard the words, turned around and looked at Yunshang, Yunshang was silent for a moment, turned around the room, thought about it, bent down and took out the dagger tied to her leg, thought for a while, Cut a large piece of carved wood from the place covered by the bed curtain, and handed it to Qin Yi about a foot long and short, "Be careful, take this thing out of the palace, and let the carpenter of Qian Yinxun see it." Look, there's something inappropriate."

Qin Yi responded, took the wood over, looked around, then took a rope from the side and tied it to her thigh, Fang smiled and bowed to Yun Shang: "Your servant, I went."

Yun Chang nodded, took off the jade badge representing her identity and handed it to Qin Yi, "Go and ask the carpenter for clarification, then go back to the mansion first, if the prince and I have not returned to the mansion, You will bring this waist card into the palace."

Qin Yi took the waist badge and saluted before leaving.

After Qin Yi left, Yun Shang checked back and forth in the room. Seeing her unhurried appearance, Ning Qian also became anxious: "The princess is also pregnant now, there is something bad in this room. You can't stay longer, the princess should go to the main hall to sit for a while."

Yun Chang responded with a smile, and followed Ning Qian to the main hall.

Not long after he sat down in the main hall, he saw a palace official coming in, looked at Yun Shang who was sitting and drinking tea in the store, and bowed to him: "I pay my respects to Princess Rui, concubine Xianggui, the empress sent servants Let me ask what is the result?"

Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, stood up quickly, and responded with a smile: "Please help me go back to the empress, and said that there is no result yet, but I suddenly feel unwell, so I sent someone back to the house to get the medicine. Alright, I'm here to rest for a while now."

The palace man glanced at Yun Chang, with a bit of impatience on his face, he nodded casually, bent slightly and then backed away.

Yun Chang smiled and said: "I just came here to sit down not long ago, and I sent someone to inquire. I'm afraid your temple is not clean, so you should be more careful on weekdays."

Ning Qian sighed softly, "There is no clean place in this palace. If my place is too clean, I'm afraid the queen will target everything. Someone is watching here. She can rest assured, and so can I." .And I know who the secret work is, and what she can usually pass back is just some insignificant things."

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Yun Chang thought for a while, and felt that the queen was very suspicious, and Ning Qian was right to think about it this time.

It has been about an hour since Qin Yi left the palace, and it was completely dark, Yun Chang frowned, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and then heard a voice of greeting from outside: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Prince Rui."

Yun Shang and Ning Qian stood up quickly, and saw Xia Huanyu and Luo Qingyan walking in together.

Xia Huanyu scanned the situation in the house and said, "Is dinner ready?"

Ning Qian shook her head, went up to meet her and said, "I have already sent someone to prepare it. Is there anything Your Majesty wants to eat?"

"I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat, what does Prince Rui want to eat?" Xia Huanyu turned to look at Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Let's make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

Hearing this, Ning Qian turned her head and glanced at Yun Shang quietly, then smiled and answered, and asked the palace servant to give orders.

Xia Huanyu went to a chair beside him and sat down, looked at the three standing people and said, "Sit, what are you doing standing?"

The three of them sat down, and the palace servants quickly brought tea. Xia Huanyu picked up the tea at hand, picked up the lid, and carelessly brushed the foam in the teacup. After a long while, he raised his head to look at Yunshang, as if He asked very casually: "What's the matter? How's the investigation of Hui Zhaoyi's matter? Do you have any clues?"\u003c
