Chapter 305 The Man Behind the Scenes is Prince Ying
"There are so many people who want to buy this incense that the first batch has already sold out. The second batch is expected to arrive in ten days, but the quantity is not large. If you want to buy it, please send someone to queue up early."
Ningxiang Pavilion was crowded, and the waiter only said this one sentence before going to entertain other people.
A Li immediately said, "Don't worry, madam. I will come here with a stool in the early morning of ten days and queue up. I promise to buy this item for you." Chunxi nodded.
Although the prices of the Refreshing Incense and the Ecstasy Incense are very different and it is unlikely that they are the same thing, they are in such high demand that Chunxi still wants to buy them to confirm and see what the secret is.
Thinking of this, Chunxi prepared to leave. Just as she got on the carriage, she saw Lanshu and two other people, waving fans and strolling towards Ningxiang Pavilion.
Lan Shu was wearing a green dress today, which was quite low-key, but she was holding a fan with a flourishing flower pattern in her hand, which was very eye-catching.
Lan Shu didn't notice Chun Xi. He had someone clear the way for him to enter Ningxiang Pavilion and directly bid a thousand taels of silver: "I want all the second batch of refreshing incense from your Ningxiang Pavilion."
The people who were originally planning to line up to buy incense immediately started to clamor in dissatisfaction when they heard this.
They arrived first and paid to pre-order the goods.
The shopkeeper was also embarrassed, but Lan Shu did not argue with them. He took out another stack of banknotes and said, "I told you, you want all these goods, young master."
Lan Shu was very wealthy, and the price he offered was many times higher than the original price. The shopkeeper did not dare to offend him, so he had to ask his servants to persuade other customers to leave and sign a contract with Lan Shu.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely hand over the goods to you in good condition in ten days."
Facing a big customer, the shopkeeper smiled ingratiatingly. Lan Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "I bought so much at once. Can't you give me some to check first?"
Lan Shu only said he wanted to inspect the goods after signing the contract, which shows his sincerity.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but finally gave Lan Shu a few boxes of refreshing incense. "I plan to leave these boxes for my nephews and nieces. Don't worry, the second batch is guaranteed to be of the same quality as the ones you have now."
Lan Shu lowered her head and sniffed, then revealed a seductive smile: "Okay, I'll wait for the shopkeeper's good news."
After putting away the incense, Lan Shu led his men out of Ningxiang Pavilion. Chunxi wanted to buy a box of refreshing incense from Lan Shu, but before she could get off the carriage to find Lan Shu, the Wei family's carriage stopped in front of Lan Shu.
The carriage curtain opened, revealing Wei Lingze's cold and gloomy face: "Get in."
Wei Lingze's voice was cold and clearly filled with anger.
Lan Shu's expression remained unchanged as he greeted her cheerfully, "Master Wei, long time no see, you're back~"
As he was speaking, Lan Shu got on the carriage, but before he could sit down, Wei Lingze grabbed his neck.
The lowered curtains blocked out the outside world, and the narrow space was filled with murderous aura.
Lan Shu was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and his face quickly turned blue. Just as he was about to die, he heard Wei Lingze's extremely cold voice: "Give me the antidote."
Lan Shu nodded with difficulty.
Give it to me, give it to me. I’ll give you whatever you want, but you have to let go of me first and let me talk.
Lan Shu's forehead was bulging with blue veins and his face was blue. He looked extremely painful, but Wei Lingze was not satisfied and wished he could cut him into pieces.
Previously in Wengzhou, the incense had run out. It was fine at first, but after three days, Wei Lingze became sleepy and listless, and his whole body began to feel an indescribable itch.
The itch did not come from the skin, but from the bones.
As time went on, the itching became more and more intense. In the end, he couldn't even get out of bed and could only lie in bed, tortured by the itching to the point of being worse than death, his mind full of thoughts of incense.
After that, Wei Lingze finally understood that this incense was not a good thing that could make people happy, but a poison that would turn him into something neither human nor ghost!
He lost the competition during the winter hunt and divorced He'er, becoming a laughing stock in Hanjing. But he was still young and had a chance to cheer himself up. However, if he used the Soul-Stirring Fragrance, he would become a complete waste.
As long as he gets the antidote, he will cut Lan Shu into pieces, chop it into mud and feed it to the dogs!
Thinking of this, Wei Lingze finally let go of his hand.
“Cough cough cough!”
Lan Shu started coughing violently, her throat hurt so much, and she even tasted blood in her mouth.
Wei Lingze ignored Lan Shu's embarrassment, stretched out his hand in front of him, and urged in a cold voice: "Antidote."
Lan Shu didn't want to be pinched again, so she didn't dare to play dumb and said truthfully, "This incense was given to me by Prince Ying. I don't have the antidote, but I can take you to Prince Ying."
King Ying?
Wei Lingze frowned immediately.
He thought of the time when Chunxi lured him to Yunshan Temple to catch an adulterer. Prince Ying was with Lan Shu and Xiao Yechen at that time.
Could it be that on the surface it was Cao Chunxi's plan, but the real mastermind behind it was Prince Ying?
The Wei family and Prince Ying don't have much contact, so there shouldn't be any conflicts between them. Prince Ying is so deliberate in plotting against him, and now he has even let him take the incense. Could it be that he wants to control him and make the entire Wei family serve him?
The more Wei Lingze thought about it, the more frightened he became. He felt that he had been blinded by one thing before. He was only thinking about not letting Cao Chunxi leave, but had lost the most basic sense of danger.
Lan Shu had no idea what Wei Lingze was thinking. After catching his breath, he continued, "I am of low status and would never dare to murder you, sir. I also don't have the ability to procure the incense. Come with me to Prince Ying's mansion, and you'll understand everything."
After a moment of stalemate, Wei Lingze gave the order and the carriage slowly drove towards Prince Ying's Mansion.
The two arrived at an inopportune time, as Prince Ying was entertaining his guests in the palace, enjoying singing and dancing.
Prince Ying was surprised by Wei Lingze's uninvited arrival, but he still asked his servants to bring more bowls and chopsticks for Wei Lingze to sit down.
Lan Shu came to King Ying and whispered to him the general situation.
Upon hearing that Wei Lingze had been intoxicated by the Ecstasy Fragrance, Prince Ying glared at Lan Shu viciously: "I told you to sell the incense to those foolish women in the harem of Wuyou Pavilion. Who told you to sell the incense to Wei Lingze?"
Lan Shu shrank his neck, revealing the hideous pinch marks on it. He said aggrievedly, "It was Master Wei who insisted on coming to Wuyou Pavilion to have fun. If I had treated him differently, Master Wei might have chopped me off long ago. Besides, isn't this Ecstasy Incense a good thing? Why can't you sell it to Master Wei?"
Prince Ying: “…”
Idiot! Why did he think this idiot was capable before?
King Ying regretted his decision, hurriedly sent the guests away, and slapped Lan Shu in the face.
Wei Lingze could no longer contain himself and strode up to Prince Ying. "I never thought Your Highness was the mastermind behind Wuyou Pavilion. I was truly blind before. First, Your Highness deliberately made me a laughing stock, and now he's got me hooked on the Ecstasy Fragrance. I wonder what deep hatred there is between the Wei family and Your Highness?"
Prince Ying: “…”? ? ?
Can you blame me for all these things?
