Chapter 466 It’s really deadly 1
Qiuyue explained: "It’s not something I arranged."
"After returning to the Marquis’ Mansion, I was sorting things out for the Crown Prince’s Consort, and suddenly a little maid found a box of incense."
"I have never used incense, so I don’t understand it. I thought that since it is called incense, it should have a smell and smell good."
"The strange thing is that the incense has no smell at all. When I opened it to check, I thought the incense had been stored for too long and had gone bad, so I wanted to throw it away."
"Then the little girl told me that the incense was not bad, it just didn’t smell good."
"And that incense is a good thing. After it is lit, it can calm the mind and concentrate. It is most suitable for people like the Crown Prince’s Consort who are tired."
"I heard that the incense is both expensive and easy to use, so I lit it for the Crown Prince’s Consort once."
"But that day, the Crown Prince's Consort was sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake her up. I thought maybe the incense was too effective, so I quickly took it away."
"Later, there was no need to light that incense, and the Crown Prince's Consort rested well, so I forgot about the incense."
"Incense? Incense without smell? Bring it here for me to check."
Doctor Wei Yu felt that the slight signs of poisoning on his master's body might be related to the incense.
"I'll go find it now." Qiuyue turned around to find the incense.
Zhu Xuntao raised his eyebrows: "The assassination failed, so are you trying to poison me?"
"Incense without smell, no wonder I didn't find it, and Qiuyue was willing to use it."
Qiuyue knew her habit. How could she, who didn't even carry a sachet, light incense in the room?
"Princess, the incense is gone!"
Zhu Xuntao finally understood how the poison came from. Qiuyue, with a horrified look on her face, ran straight to Zhu Xuntao, saying that the incense she used that day was gone.
"I just looked through it, and there was clearly such a big box. I just took out a small piece and scraped it off. How come it's gone?"
As soon as Qiuyue said the incense was gone, everyone thought the answer was out.
The poison in Zhu Xuntao's body was related to the incense.
"Is the incense ash still there?"
Since such a large piece of spice was gone, it would be impossible to find it no matter how hard she tried. Zhu Xuntao could only start from somewhere else.
"It seems to be still there."
Qiuyue's expression eased a little, and she quickly brought a incense burner that looked very new.
Because Zhu Xuntao didn't have the habit of burning incense, the incense burner was put away after being used once that day. How could it not look new?
Doctor Wei Yu opened the top of the burner, poured out the incense ash in the burner, stuck some on his fingertips, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said in surprise: "Qiuyue?"
Qiuyue: "Ah?"
"Doctor Wei Yu, do you have any instructions for me to call you?"
Doctor Wei Yu shook his head: "The Qiuyue I mentioned is not you, but the name of this incense is also Qiuyue."
"Same as my name?" Qiuyue was extremely surprised. There was actually a fragrance with the same name as hers?
"Doctor Wei Yu, this incense smells so good?"
Doctor Wei Yu looked at Zhu Xuntao hesitantly. Can he tell the truth to this little girl?
Xiao Jingzhan shook Zhu Xuntao's hand and answered first: "Qiuyue, this incense is poisonous."
"Is it poisonous? Are the Crown Prince's wife and the young master okay?!"
Qiuyue almost jumped up. The incense was named, and Qiuyue guessed that there was something wrong with it. What she didn't dare to think was that the incense was poisonous.
"Don't be afraid."
Seeing that Qiuyue was about to cry, Doctor Wei Yu hurriedly explained,
"Fortunately, you took the incense out in time and didn't let the master smell it."
"Otherwise, even if the master is okay, the child in the master's belly will not be saved."
