The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

In her previous life, Xia Yanxiang only remembered that Xia Qianxiang was framed to be a princess married to a foreign country. However, she later learned one thing: when Mo Yuyang was planning to deal with Mo Yuxuan, he caught him with something that showed that he seemed to have had an affair with the princess married to a foreign country.

By the time she knew about this, the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had already collapsed. Xia Yanxiang wanted to do something at that time, but because she was trapped in Prince Yuan's Mansion, she could not do anything.

But it was unknown whether this was true or not, so Xia Yanxiang had been keeping an eye on Mo Yuxuan's behavior since she came back this time. Sure enough, Mo Yuxuan always tried to get close to Xia Qianxiang.

Xia Yanxiang knew that her sister would not do anything to commit adultery, but Mo Yuxuan's interest in Xia Qianxiang was not just Mo Yuxuan's business.

That night, Xia Yanxiang quietly changed into men's clothes and went out.

The secret guards that Mo Yuchen had sent to protect Xia Yanxiang saw that she was heading towards Luo Wang Mansion, and sent a letter to Luo Wang Mansion not long after she left.

"Your Highness, the Third Miss is here."

Mo Yuchen was shocked. Why did Yanyan come to Luo Wang Mansion in person so late? But he changed his mind and remembered that it was not far from the tenth day of July. He probably wanted to come and confirm Yang Fan's situation again.

A quarter of an hour later, Yizhu came in and reported: "Master, the third young lady is here."

Xia Yanxiang entered the study and bowed to Mo Yuchen: "Your servant Xia Yanxiang greets His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Mo Yuchen saw that the visitor was dressed in black clothes and had his hair tied up, looking like a man. "Miss Third, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat. I wonder if Miss Third has any important business to bring you to the Little Prince's Mansion so late at night?"

"In a few days, it will be the wedding banquet of His Royal Highness Prince Yuan and Xia Pinxiang. It will be inconvenient for me to be there then, so I came here today to see how Young Master Yang is recovering." Xia Yanxiang sat down as she was told.

As expected, Mo Yuchen guessed correctly: "Young Master Yang has already recovered. But, isn't Miss San going to the wedding banquet? That would be a big show!"

It’s a bit of a pity that Xia Yanxiang is not going!

Xia Yanxiang smiled slightly: "Of course I have to go, but I can't go as the third daughter of the Minister of Rites. When a woman gets married, how can an unmarried girl from her natal family go to the man's house?"

"But please let me see Master Yang, otherwise I will not be able to rest easy."

Mo Yuchen is an old fox, and Xia Yanxiang dare not trust him easily. What if he changes his mind suddenly and Xia Yanxiang has no countermeasure at all, wouldn't she be tricked by him?

Mo Yuchen choked. It turned out that Yanyan still didn't believe him wholeheartedly.

However, Mo Yuchen did not think of delaying Xia Yanxiang. After all, Xia Yanxiang had always been wary of him. If his hesitation caused Xia Yanxiang to become more suspicious of him, it would be more trouble than gain. "Since Miss San is really worried, then go with Xiao Wang!"

Mo Yuchen originally arranged Yang Fan to stay outside, but later he became worried and moved him to Prince Luo's Mansion. He also told Xia Yanxiang about this.

When they reached the east wing, Xia Yanxiang suddenly stopped and said to Mo Yuchen, "Your Highness Prince Luo, do you have any drugs like aphrodisiac in your house?"

"Why do you ask?" Mo Yuchen was confused. "Miss Third has always been cautious. Didn't she bring the drugs with her when she went out?"

"When I go out, I only bring poison, not drugs. If I meet someone who doesn't have eyes, I'll just poison him. But Young Master Yang has seen me in men's clothing. If he recognizes me, it won't be good."

After hearing what Xia Yanxiang said, Mo Yuchen's mouth twitched. She's not easy to mess with!

Then, Mo Yuchen ordered Yizhu to find some aphrodisiac incense and blow some into Yang Fan's room.

Xia Yanxiang and others waited outside the house for about half an incense stick, and only entered the house when the incense had almost dissipated.

The house is quite tidy, after all, it is Prince Luo's palace.

Yang Fan had already fallen asleep under the effect of the incense.

Xia Yanxiang walked to Yang Fan's bed. Yizhu took Yang Fan's hand out of the quilt and put it aside. Xia Yanxiang was about to take his pulse but was stopped by Mo Yuchen.

Xia Yanxiang frowned. Could it be that Mo Chen really did something to Yang Fan without telling her?

Seeing Mo Yuchen's reaction, even Yi Zhu was stunned.

Mo Yuchen knew that Xia Yanxiang would be suspicious, and before Xia Yanxiang could ask, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it on Yang Fan's wrist: "Men and women should not touch each other."

Xia Yanxiang was speechless. She put the handkerchief away and then took Yang Fan's pulse.

Mo Yuchen kept staring at Xia Yanxiang's hand on Yang Fan's wrist. Yi Zhu, who was standing behind him, was speechless. The master clearly didn't want the Third Miss to hold Young Master Yang's hand, and he had to find such a high-sounding reason. Master, please have some shame! Don't let the Third Miss find out!

After taking the pulse, Xia Yanxiang took the handkerchief back and handed it to Yizhu behind her. Then she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her hands. Then she walked out without caring about Mo Yuchen.

Mo Yuchen also followed Xia Yanxiang out, but halfway through he saw Xia Yanxiang put the used handkerchief back into her sleeve, and asked casually: "Since you think it's dirty, why don't you throw it away?"

"It might not be good for the reputation of His Highness Prince Luo if a woman's handkerchief was left in Prince Luo's mansion." Since Mo Yuchen asked casually, Xia Yanxiang answered casually.

"Since Young Master Yang has recovered, I will take my leave first." Xia Yanxiang had been handling affairs in the mansion these days, but she had to pretend that she didn't understand. It was also tiring to ask Tu about everything bit by bit. After finally waiting for Xia Pinxiang's marriage to be almost settled, Xia Yanxiang really didn't want to compete with Mo Yuchen in wits and courage anymore. After performing the greetings in a proper manner, she planned to leave.

Mo Yuchen also heard about Xia Yanxiang's open and secret struggles with Xia Jianxiang and her mother and daughter in the Shangshu Mansion. He also saw the fatigue hidden in Xia Yanxiang's eyes and eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he said to Xia Yanxiang: "Miss Third, please wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, Mo Yuchen turned around, found a secret compartment on the bookshelf in the study, took out a sachet from it, and handed it to Xia Yanxiang: "This is the sleep-inducing incense that Xiao Wang has treasured for a long time. You can put it under your pillow to help you sleep."

"This..." Xia Yanxiang didn't understand Mo Yuchen's intention.

Mo Yuchen knew that Xia Yanxiang would not easily accept his things, so he said: "Miss Third, please don't misunderstand. This is just a small token of my appreciation. The medicinal herbs in it are hard to find, but for me, it is just a drop in the bucket. If you don't mind, please accept it."

Xia Yanxiang still didn't want to accept it: "Your Highness, this is neither reasonable nor logical."

Having said this, Mo Yuchen couldn't continue giving things to Xia Yanxiang.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave first." Xia Yanxiang stopped bothering with Mo Yuchen and left after bowing.

It's really neat and tidy! Mo Yuchen smiled bitterly. Well, they weren't close friends. Giving such an intimate sachet would be bad for Xia Yanxiang's reputation.
