Chapter 486: The Mother and Daughter with a Strange Fragrance

"My dears, I have made all the necessary preparations. Please come into the mansion and rest for a while."

Prefect Song kept a very humble attitude, and Xie Yuheng walked towards Prefect Song's residence in a carefree manner.

The Second Prince behind him looked extremely anxious.

At this time, the second prince's voice came to Shen Zhao's mind.

[This Xie family member is a fool. Does he even know what it means to judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart? That Song Zhou is a smiling tiger. Don't be fooled by his kind smile now. When he kills people, his grin becomes even wider and more amiable.]

"If I hadn't had the Xuanyuan clan's token to protect my life, I would have died at the hands of this smiling tiger. He even gloated and praised me as a good person."

[They don't even know how they'll die. If I'd known it was a death trap, I wouldn't have come with them to die.]

Is it a dead end? Not necessarily!

Chen Zhao followed Xie Yuheng's steps into the Song Mansion.

The second prince followed the crowd in with a tearful look on his face. He had no choice but to go in. He might die faster if he stayed outside.

"Your Highness, this is the courtyard I prepared for you. Next door is the courtyard of Third Young Master Xie, and next to that are the residences of the others. Your Highness, are you satisfied with it?"

"If you have no other instructions, I will have my servants prepare a dinner to welcome the prince and Mr. Xie San."

Chen Zhao pretended to be tired and instructed Song Zhou:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Prefect Song. I am indeed tired after a long day of traveling. Prefect Song, please go and do your own thing."

Song Zhou said some more polite words before leaving.

As soon as Song Zhou left, the Second Prince spoke impatiently:

"Your Highness, this Song Mansion is truly uninhabitable, and this courtyard is even more uninhabitable."

[I used to live in this yard and was almost shot into a hornet's nest.]

"Today, that Song Zhou kid was completely focused on Chu Mu and Xie Yuheng. Plus, my appearance has changed quite a bit over the years, so he didn't recognize me at first. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have let me in safely, let alone prepared this courtyard full of traps for Chu Mu."

Xie Yuheng glanced at the Second Prince.

"You always say that Prefect Song is not a good person. But what is wrong with him?"

"I think he's quite honest and loyal."

The Second Prince rolled his eyes at Xie Yuheng.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard Shen Zhao say:

"Yuheng, don't you find it weird?"

Xie Yuheng was stunned. Weird? What was weird about it?

"We came to Yangcheng secretly. The emperor did not announce it to the world, nor did he inform the Yangcheng prefect."

"You and I are both wearing ordinary clothes. How do you think Prefect Song knew who we are?"

"They even greeted me at the gate of the mansion in advance and arranged accommodation for me."

Xie Yuheng's expression suddenly became serious.

yes!

He just felt that Song Zhou did not look like a bad person, whether in appearance, posture or attitude, but he forgot the most important point.

He and Brother Chu had never seen Song Zhou, so how did he recognize them?

In previous visits, he did not remember that the Yangcheng prefect was a plump middle-aged man, and in his vague memory, the Yangcheng prefect was a... skinny old man.

“Brother Chu, this Song Zhou is not the prefect of Yangcheng!”

The Second Prince looked at Xie Yuheng with suspicion. When he was fleeing, he met the Yangcheng prefect and was almost killed by him, Song Zhou.

Although he has been at the border for many years, he is sure that the Yangcheng prefect he met that year was Song Zhou, who could kill people but still smile in a friendly way.

"You are both right and wrong. To the people of Yangcheng, Song Zhou is the prefect of Yangcheng. However, the one who went to pay homage in previous years was not him, but the real prefect of Yangcheng."

"Song Zhou is so bold! He actually dares to play tricks in front of you and me. Isn't he afraid that you and I will expose him?"

The Second Prince on the side immediately responded:

"Xie San Gongzi thinks he can still let you leave this mansion!"

"From the moment we stepped into the Song Mansion, we entered someone else's territory. You know we are being targeted by sharp arrows. If Song Zhou gives the order, all of us will be shot like hedgehogs."

At this time, the voices of guards trying to stop them were heard in the courtyard.

"You are not allowed to enter unless summoned by the prince. Madam Song and Miss Song should go back."

Two soft voices followed closely behind.

"I am here at your Majesty's command to bring some refreshments to the prince and his companions to ease their fatigue on the journey. Please inform your Excellency."

"Sir, here are two taels of silver. I'll treat you to tea. Please don't delay."

Most of the guards protecting Shen Zhao's courtyard are the Ninth Prince's men.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to drive the two away, he heard Shen Zhao's voice coming from the room.

"Let Mrs. Song and Miss Song come in."

A trace of displeasure clearly flashed across the guard's face. Chu Mu wanted to meet a strange woman alone!

Their young master is still missing and his life or death is unknown!

The moment Shen Zhao saw Madam Song and Miss Song, she immediately became alert.

She was sure that these two people had the blood of Xuanyuan clan.

And it should be the existence that Master Wuyou said has a unique fragrance that can naturally charm men.

The moment Mrs. Song and Miss Song came in, two faint fragrances came into her nose.

But this is of no use to her, after all, she is also a woman.

The Second Prince looked at Madam Song and Miss Song with lustful eyes, but a hint of fear appeared on his face.

He suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes, mouth and nose.

He was muttering to himself.

"Don't look at or hear anything indecent, all beauty is the root of trouble. Don't be a playboy, don't die under the pomegranate skirt..."

Xie Yuheng waved his hands in disgust, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and muttered softly.

"Did they spill the powder in the rouge shop? The smell is making me dizzy..."

Faced with the reactions of the three people in the room, Mrs. Song and Miss Song were obviously stunned.

Could it be that this secret medicine is ineffective? Why do the three men in this room avoid them like the plague?

One despised them in every way, while the other was unmoved.

When they entered the room just now, they deliberately shook their sleeves and skirts to let the fragrance fill the entire room.

The Song mother and daughter looked at each other.

Shen Zhao looked at the Song mother and daughter meaningfully.

It turns out that the women of the Xuanyuan clan were not born with a unique fragrance or the ability to seduce men. The fragrance on their bodies that seduced men was actually a secret medicine.

Shen Zhao thought that the people of Xuanyuan clan were really different from ordinary people.

Looking at the suspicious mother and daughter, it’s not that the secret medicine on them is ineffective.

First, the second prince's mother was a woman of the Xuanyuan clan, who had a unique fragrance and the ability to seduce people. The second prince had been influenced by her since he was a child, and coupled with his fear of the Song Mansion, he was forced to suppress his lustful heart.
