The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

The days passed one by one, and the day of the palace examination had also passed. Mo Yuchen secretly sent a letter to Xia Yanxiang again.

Xia Yanxiang secretly went to Shangyaotang under the pretext of going out shopping.

After entering, Mo Yuchen did not come. Xia Yanxiang was a little confused. Wang Zhi came up from the back and said to Xia Yanxiang: "Miss San, His Highness asks you to go out the back door. There is a carriage ready at the back door, and it will take you to where you should go."

Xia Yanxiang stared at Wang Zhi suspiciously, but Wang Zhi bent over and didn't look up at her.

Xia Yanxiang was silent for a long time, and then went to the back door as she was told.

Anzhi and Yukui saw her coming out and asked in confusion, "Miss, what happened?"

Xia Yanxiang did not answer, but said directly: "Let's go to the back door."

When they arrived at the back door, there was indeed an inconspicuous carriage. Xia Yanxiang turned around, glanced at Wang Zhi, and got on the carriage without asking anything.

Anzhi and Yukui also got on the carriage.

"Miss, why is this?" An Zhi asked in confusion.

"Someone arranged for us to go somewhere else." Xia Yanxiang closed her eyes, looking calm and composed.

Yukui didn't say anything, she could probably guess who it was.

Xia Yanxiang felt the carriage turn left and right several times, as if it was going in circles, but soon stopped again, and she knew they were almost there.

Sure enough, the driver knocked on the carriage door and said, "Sir, we have arrived."

Xia Yanxiang did not feel strange when she heard the coachman's address. After all, her going out was a secret, not to mention that she was meeting with His Royal Highness Prince Luo and planning some unspeakable secrets. If people knew that she was a woman and a heavyweight figure, her days and those of Prince Luo would be over.

Xia Yanxiang got off the carriage and saw that it was a relatively remote place outside. On the right side of the carriage was a wall with an inconspicuous door. Apart from that door, there seemed to be no other way. Xia Yanxiang went straight in without any fear.

Anzhi and Yukui were a little worried and wanted to call out to Xia Yanxiang, but Xia Yanxiang had already walked in, so they had to quickly follow her.

After entering, I found that it was just a small courtyard, like where people in the countryside live.

Xia Yanxiang felt a little puzzled. Logically, the carriage shouldn't have gone far, so how could it have ended up in a courtyard like this?

However, she did not show it on her face and walked in calmly.

When she reached the end of the corridor, there was an open door and no one was guarding it. Xia Yanxiang stopped to think for a while, then walked in.

After entering, I found that Yizhu and Mo Chen were both here.

"Third Miss." Yizhu turned around and saluted Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Your servant Xia Yanxiang greets His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Mo Yuchen turned around, nodded, and then said, "I have found the person, so I dare to ask Miss San to come and meet him."

Xia Yanxiang nodded. She could guess why Mo Yuchen called her here.

However, Mo Yuchen turned around and took out something, a veil hat: "The Third Miss has a special identity, so we should not let that person find out."

Xia Yanxiang also understood, so she reached out to take it and put it on.

Then Mo Yuchen took her to another room.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Xia Yanxiang smelled a scent of blood. She frowned and said to Mo Yuchen, "Your Highness Prince Luo, would you rather torture this man?"

Mo Yuchen pretended to be innocent: "Xiao Wang just used some extraordinary means."

Xia Yanxiang was speechless. It was obvious that he only needed to tell others about the incident. Didn't his torture prove that the man was forced?

It was a rare occasion for Mo Yuchen to be humiliated, so he could only cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Mo Yuchen pushed open the door, and a smell of blood hit him in the face. It wasn't actually that strong, but Xia Yanxiang had such a good sense of smell that the smell of blood was very strong to her.

After entering, I saw the man. His white robe was stained with blood, his face was covered with dust, and his hair, which had been meticulously groomed, was now in a mess.

There were no windows in the room, and the person inside seemed to have not seen the sunlight for a long time. Suddenly someone pushed open the door, and the sunlight was a little dazzling to him.

When he looked up, he saw that the person coming was actually His Royal Highness Prince Luo, and there was a woman following behind him.

Yang Fan reluctantly stood up.

"If Your Highness Prince Luo has something to ask me, just tell me directly. Why torture me?" Yang Fan seemed very unconvinced, but it was true. He had just come out of the Imperial Examination Hall not long ago when he was abducted here and was tortured again for no apparent reason.

Mo Yuchen didn't take it seriously. In fact, he didn't use any torture. He just used some tricks in the punishment, so Yang Fan looked so seriously injured.

“Please forgive me, Young Master Yang. I was forced to do this, but in order to make it up to you, I have specially brought you a great opportunity.”

Yang Fan didn't believe Mo Yuchen. Who could believe someone who tortured him for no reason?

"I really don't dare to accept it. I just ask Your Highness Prince Luo to give me another way out."

Mo Yuchen knew that he would complain, but he had already prepared his explanation: "Don't be angry, Young Master Yang. If you knew the opportunity I provided, you would be even happier!"

Yang Fan had some doubts. Mo Yuchen was a very cunning person. He was able to compete with King Yuan when his own foundation was not stable. He was definitely not a simple person.

Xia Yanxiang, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a calm voice at this moment: "Young Master Yang, there is no need to doubt. We are not here to gain anything from you, but to give you a chance."

After hearing what both of them said, Yang Fan finally believed it a little: "What opportunity?"

Mo Yuchen did not answer him, but looked at Xia Yanxiang.

Xia Yanxiang understood, took a few steps towards Yang Fan, and said calmly: "We have obtained evidence that the Minister of Industry was framed, and we can help you reverse the verdict in front of the emperor."

When Yang Fan heard this, he immediately became excited: "Really?!"

Xia Yanxiang added: "If there is no solid evidence, we will definitely not bring you here."

When Yang Fan was mentioned, he became furious: "I just came out of the Imperial Examination Hall and was brought here for no apparent reason. I was also tortured by His Royal Highness Prince Luo. Miss, do you think I will believe you?"

Xia Yanxiang turned around and glared at Mo Yuchen through the veil, then turned around and said, "There is indeed a misunderstanding in this matter. Now is not the time to talk about this. We must tell you about this evidence. It can be regarded as a turnaround for your family and also a help to ourselves."

Yang Fan sneered: "After all, you are just using me for your own benefit."

Xia Yanxiang originally thought so, and she had no intention of lying to him, so she admitted generously, "That's right, but whether we do this or not, we will benefit far more than your Yang family. Are you sure you don't want to consider it, Mr. Yang?"
