Kite falling into red dust

After the song was played, she saw that the expression on Murong Mingyu's face relaxed a lot, and even the brows that were always condensed together were relaxed.Although he didn't take the initiative to approach her as she expected, this setback would not discourage her.She stood up, straightened her dress, walked slowly to his side, and sat down.

She poured a cup of tea and handed it to his hand, with a shy smile on the corner of her mouth, she said, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Can the concubine play it well?"

He took a sip of tea, suddenly looked at her strangely, and said, "What did the Queen put on today?" "It's just some ordinary rouge powder, nothing special." She replied perfunctorily.He didn't seem to believe it, "Really, but the widow smelled a very special fragrance from the queen."

She tried to prevaricate, "Maybe it's because Chen Qie wore a new sachet today, it was made for Chen Qie by Xiao Wen, Chen Qie's maid, and there are some messy spices stuffed in it."

"The widow has never smelled any kind of spice like this." The expression on his face suddenly became very serious. "To be honest, what exactly is it?"

She was a little scared.She couldn't figure out why he was so nervous, it was just a scent, was it necessary to get to the bottom of it?

Of course she didn't know that at the beginning, Murong Mingyu also smelled a special fragrance from his father's corpse, but he didn't take it seriously at that time.Later, Luo Hongdie showed him a bottle of light purple liquid, and the smell wafting from the mouth of the bottle that was not completely sealed was exactly the same as that of the father's corpse.And just now, he also smelled that fragrance on Shangguan Xuerui's body, but it was a little weaker.He remembered that Luo Hongdie named this kind of thing "drunk love dream death", and his father died from this novel and pungent poison.

He looked at her coldly, and said: "You have two choices, either, you take the initiative to hand over the source of this fragrance to the widow; or, the widow will send someone to the Qiluan Hall to search thoroughly."

She lowered her head and tried to speak in a calm tone: "If the concubine has done something wrong, please tell your Majesty directly. The concubine really doesn't know what to give to your majesty." The trembling hands betrayed her heart.

Murong Mingyu stood up, and said calmly: "It seems that you chose the latter." After speaking, he walked out alone without even looking at her again.

Shangguan Xuerui couldn't even dream of it. For three years, she treated each other like a guest and lived a happy life on the surface, but because of an invisible and intangible taste, it was broken like this.Watching His Majesty's personal soldiers turning her palace upside down, she could only cry helplessly, her heart full of doubts and grievances.

"What is this room used for, why not open it?" Murong Mingyu finally found the room where Luo Hongdie lived.All the maids and servants in the Qiluan Palace lowered their heads and did not say a word—they were all loyal servants of the Queen and would not betray her easily.

Shangguan Xuerui hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and walked in front of Murong Mingyu.Only she and Luo Hongdie had the key to that room, and she had promised to protect her.Although she only knows her name is Die Wu, she has good martial arts, and is also good at mixing fragrance and making poison.She doesn't know anything about her other than that, but she still trusts her unconditionally.Even after knowing that she had lied to herself with fake aphrodisiacs for three years, she was still willing to forgive her.

"This is the maidservant's room. It's dirty and messy inside. There's nothing to see." She said in a calm voice, without any panic on her face. She hoped that this would make Murong Mingyu trust herself.

"Whether it looks good or not is not up to the queen." He said coldly, and then glanced at Mo Yuan behind him.Mo Yuan immediately stepped forward, pulled out his saber, and cut off the lock on the door with one stroke, and a group of guards rushed in immediately.
