Chapter 599 A Person Who Looks Very Similar to Wan Chun
Zhou Feng nodded. "That's right. I brought some newly made perfumes and sachets with me, wanting to see if I could open a shop in Nanyi."
"However, it seems that our relationship with the Southern Barbarians is too tense, so business is not easy. After only two days, our people came back."
Zhou Ruiyuan thought about it carefully. It seemed that the Southern Barbarians proposed a marriage alliance after Zhou Feng and his men returned.
He continued, "Have you noticed anything different about the Southern Barbarians?"
"What's the difference?" Zhou Feng asked, puzzled.
The Third Prince continued, "It's about whether it's different from usual."
Zhou Feng thought about it carefully and replied, "Yes, it really is."
Zhou Ruiyuan was delighted and quickly sat up higher, asking, "What is it?"
Zhou Feng slowly said, "The eldest prince of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom married a new queen a few months ago. The queen is extremely beautiful, and it is said that anyone who has seen her face cannot take their eyes off her."
"Have you ever seen it?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked.
Zhou Feng replied, "I have seen her. She is indeed beautiful, with blood-red lips and alluring nails. Every gesture she makes exudes charm, but she is still far inferior to my sister-in-law."
There are many beautiful women in the capital, but when Zhou Feng saw that woman, the first thing that came to mind was his sister-in-law. He didn't know why he had such an association.
The two women had very different appearances; one was alluring, the other was elegant.
They are completely different kinds of people.
Zhou Ruiyuan also noticed something strange. "She looks like your sister-in-law?"
Zhou Feng quickly shook his head, "No, no, it doesn't look like it at all, it's just..."
The Third Prince, standing to the side, asked anxiously, "But what?"
Zhou Feng couldn't quite describe his feelings either. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The moment she entered our shop, I thought of my sister-in-law. I can't explain why."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then said, "If there is any similarity, it should be the fragrance on the two of them."
"A fragrance?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked, puzzled.
Although Du Wanchun had worked with Aunt Zhou to make incense balls and perfumes for a period of time, she rarely used perfume on herself.
Her body fragrance seemed innate, a blend of the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of flowers in the forest after the rain.
Very unique.
Seeing that Zhou Ruiyuan was lost in thought, Zhou Feng asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you suspect that this imperial concubine is involved in the assassination attempt?"
Zhou Ruiyuan snapped out of his daze, "We only guessed that the assassin was a Southern Barbarian, but we still don't know who he is."
Zhou Feng withdrew his gaze and sat back down at a distance. "This woman is not only an imperial concubine in the Southern Barbarian lands, but also a sorceress."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince quickly patted Zhou Feng on the shoulder again, "Why are you only telling me now?!"
Zhou Feng looked up at the two of them and said, "I just remembered that too."
"That imperial concubine was not a Southern Barbarian, but a female sorceress whom the eldest prince of the Southern Barbarians took in on the road. It is said that this female sorceress can not only tell fortunes, but also summon wind and rain."
"I thought it was nonsense at the time, so I didn't pay attention to it. I only remembered it when I mentioned her to my older brother."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan had his answer. A witch with a similar fragrance to Du Wanchun and the ability to summon wind and rain was most likely her.
In the past, the enemy was in the shadows, while they are in the light.
Now that he knows who the enemy is, he feels relieved.
Zhou Ruiyuan asked Zhou Feng, "You said the incense shop is closed?"
Zhou Feng nodded. "It's closed. It only lasted for a little over ten days before closing down."
Zhou Ruiyuan continued, "Then let's set up the rice shop there. Although the Southern Barbarians have always eaten cattle and sheep, nowadays many people also eat rice."
Zhou Feng stood up and said, "That's good. My sister-in-law just happened to have mentioned to me that she's planning to expand the rice shop again."
Zhou Ruiyuan picked up the medicine that had long since gone cold and drank it down in one gulp. "Okay, I'll do whatever your sister-in-law tells me to do."
Zhou Feng smiled and said, "Understood, Big Brother."
The Third Prince chuckled from the side, "It seems Ruiyuan still dotes on your sister-in-law more."
Zhou Feng replied, "Of course, if I don't love my sister-in-law, who will I love?"
Zhou Ruiyuan interrupted them, "By the way, is there any news from the Northern Di?"
The Third Prince laughed and said, "There really is. The Southern Barbarians are clamoring for a marriage alliance, and the Northern Barbarians are also clamoring for a marriage alliance."
Zhou Feng looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, "Big brother said he wouldn't let Mianmian go for a political marriage."
The Third Prince continued with a laugh, "They say that the little prince of the Northern Barbarians is clamoring to marry himself off to us as a peace treaty partner."
Zhou Feng was amused. "Little Qing'er is really a clever little devil."
Zhou Ruiyuan said generously, "If he wants to marry into our family when he grows up, I will definitely send him a generous dowry."
Meanwhile, in a military camp of the Northern Barbarians, a young general sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to bury himself in his military books.
