Ji Luoyan looked at her and then said, "I've already delivered the things to Your Highness. It's up to Your Highness to seize the opportunity."

Consort Rong was taken aback, remembering the spices she had just handed to the palace maid.

Ji Luoyan continued to explain, "This fragrance can be used in baths or as a perfume. It can make people feel comfortable and create a sense of attachment. One application of the fragrance can last for three days."

Upon hearing Ji Luoyan's explanation, Consort Rong instantly understood what was going on, realizing that the Emperor had become enamored with such a fragrance.

"Will this have any side effects?"

After all, her status in the harem is not what it used to be, so Yao is naturally on guard and can't afford to give anyone a handle to use against her.

"There are no major side effects, as long as you pay attention to the dosage. If someone finds out, it's just for its calming effect."

Consort Rong was relieved and said, "Okay, I understand."

Ji Luoyan left Qingquan Palace without lingering any longer.

At this moment.

An old eunuch walked up to her and respectfully bowed, saying, "Madam Qi, the Second Prince requests your presence."

Ji Luoyan's eyes were dark, and she said indifferently, "I'll trouble you to lead the way, sir."

"Madam Qi, this way please."

Ji Luoyan left with her father-in-law.

The Empress Dowager's condition is now stable, and she only needs to take her medicine on time. Therefore, there is no need for Mu Chenshuang to stay in the palace any longer.

She naturally also knew the current status of the case, which was completely different from what Fu Junheng had told her before. Hong Tian had successfully disappeared during the investigation by Chengtianjian, Qi Mingsen had been demoted, and she was certain that the assassin who committed suicide was definitely not the group of people she had encountered that day.

This is hardly the kind of oversight capability the Imperial Observatory should have; either the Imperial Observatory did it on purpose.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenshuang felt increasingly uneasy.

However, Fu Junheng hasn't come to see her for the past two days, and she has no way of knowing the exact situation. It's clear that Fu Junheng is just being temperamental with her.

Linglong came over after packing her luggage. "Miss, I've packed everything."

Seeing her mistress's worried expression, Linglong guessed, "Is Miss thinking about Crown Prince Junheng?"

It's strange, since Crown Prince Junheng left that day, he hasn't come to see Miss again for the past two days. I wonder what happened between the two of them.

Mu Chenshuang sighed, "I don't know if he's jealous or just throwing a tantrum."

Linglong listened to her mistress's words, completely bewildered. Crown Prince Junheng was jealous? Jealous of whom?

"Forget about him, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Before leaving, Mu Chenshuang received a gift from the Empress Dowager. She only accepted one jade pendant because she could sense that it was made of Heavenly Spring Cold Jade and contained extremely strong spiritual energy.

“Treating the Empress Dowager is what I should do. If the Empress Dowager wishes to reward me, then I will accept this jade pendant.”

Seeing that Mu Chenshuang insisted, the father-in-law did not say anything more.

As Mu Chenshuang was leaving, Chen Ping suddenly came forward, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Princess Weiyang, His Highness requests your presence at the East Palace."

Mu Chenshuang looked at him, "Did the Crown Prince say what he wanted to see me about?"

Chen Ping glanced at the eunuch beside him. Mu Chenshuang saw his intention and stepped aside. Chen Ping explained, "Your Highness wants to know what method is available to find the mother Gu?"

He had been secretly investigating Consort Xiao for the past two days, but without any results.

"Whom does the Crown Prince suspect?" Mu Chenshuang asked directly.

Chen Ping paused for a moment before replying, "Consort Xiao."

He then continued, "The Crown Prince is very remorseful for what he did to Princess Weiyang. After divorcing you, Princess Weiyang, the Crown Prince actually..."

Although saying these things now wouldn't make much difference, he still couldn't help but tell her that after the Crown Prince and Princess Weiyang divorced, the Crown Prince began to feel remorse, and it was after that that the Crown Prince's body began to show abnormalities.

Before Chen Ping could finish speaking, Mu Chenshuang interrupted, "Chen Ping!"

Chen Ping paused for a moment.

“I have no intention of continuing to complain about the Crown Prince, so you don’t need to explain anything further.”

Chen Ping remained silent and did not continue speaking.

"As for how to lure out the mother Gu, the Crown Prince will probably have to pay a price."

Chen Ping was startled and quickly asked, "What price?"

Mu Chenshuang told him, "Use your heart's blood as a catalyst to have the person raising the mother gu drink it. Once she drinks it, when she feeds the mother gu with her blood again, the mother gu will become uncontrollable. However, when the mother gu becomes uncontrollable, the crown prince will also suffer a certain backlash."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of pills from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Ping. "When the time comes, give him this medicine and use it in conjunction with the breathing technique I wrote down. It will relieve his pain. Come find me again after you find the mother Gu."

Chen Ping accepted the medicine bottle and said, "Thank you, Princess Weiyang. I will take my leave now."

The Crown Prince wanted Princess Weiyang to go to the Eastern Palace, but judging from her appearance, she probably wouldn't go with him.

"Does the Empress know about this?"
