I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

One of the maids wanted to leave after saying this.

Liu Yueru still felt something was not right. It was clearly the smell of rotting raw meat.

It's like raw meat that has been left out for too long and has gone rancid.

Xie Jingrui turned his gaze in the direction where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking.

There are also some things that feel strange.

The clothes worn by those maids were thicker than those worn by ordinary people, but even so, their hands still looked pale, as if they had been frozen.

Xie Jingrui ignored the maids' words and strode directly towards the prince's bedroom.

"Your Highness!" The maids exclaimed, as if they were stimulated by something, and hurriedly stopped Xie Jingrui from behind.

But his eyes were somewhat evasive as he looked towards the inside.

Xie Jingrui cast a cold gaze on the maids, and then asked in a very cold voice, "Why? If I go in quietly to take a look, it will disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you guys won't make a fuss if you do this?"

"Speak up, I will go in and take a look and then leave."

Seeing that they couldn't stop him, the maids could only whisper, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Mansion is taking care of His Royal Highness. Let the maids go in first and inform him."

Seeing this, Xie Jingrui didn't say anything much. He took Liu Yueru and waited quietly in the yard.

Liu Yueru tugged at Xie Jingrui's sleeve, and when she saw that there was no one around, she leaned close to his ear and asked, "Do you smell it? That strange smell?"

"Well, don't be afraid, just follow me later." Xie Jingrui thought Liu Yueru was afraid, so he held her hand tightly in his palm.

The door of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's room was opened from the inside.

Accompanied by a strange smell, the smell became stronger the moment the door opened.

Liu Yueru's eyebrows furrowed even more. This time she smelled it clearly. It was the smell of a dead rat, or also the smell of a dead person!

Liu Yueru's expression changed suddenly.

When he looked into the prince's room again, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.

However, Liu Yueru quickly put away her shock.

I don’t know if it’s Liu Yueru’s illusion.

She always felt a hint of coolness coming from the open door.

As their thoughts were flowing, the figure of the Crown Princess came in front of them.

Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui greeted together.

Before Xie Jingrui could speak.

The Crown Princess was the first to speak to them with an unhappy look on her face; "If your Highness has anything to say, just tell me directly."

Xie Jingrui looked at the Crown Princess calmly and said, "Nothing, I just came to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I just don't know why there is such a strong odor in His Royal Highness's courtyard with so many maids here?"

A hint of panic flashed across the Crown Princess's face, but when she raised her eyes again, her face was still calm.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness. The Crown Prince has been ill for so long, so it's naturally difficult to clean up the smell in the room. It's not the servants' fault. They have many things to do every day. These questions are already small. After all, the Crown Prince eats, drinks, defecates, urinates and sleeps in the room every day."

“Those smells are naturally hard to get rid of.”

The Crown Princess looked at the two people in front of her with a very cold gaze.

Then, she set her sights on Liu Yueru; "I heard that the prince will be getting married to Madam Liu soon, so it's better not to come here and provoke unclean things."

"Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already gone to bed. When he wakes up, I will tell him about your visit. Please go back today."

Liu Yueru looked back at Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui's dark eyes looked in the direction inside.

Finally, he retracted his gaze and said to the Crown Princess, "In that case, we will take our leave first."

The Crown Princess nodded slightly.

Xie Jingrui took Liu Yueru and left.

After walking away, Liu Yueru looked around.

After confirming that there was no one around, he dared to speak to Xie Jingrui in a low voice, "That strange smell should be coming from the Crown Prince's room."

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly; "Don't tell anyone about this. I'll go there to take a look at night."

"You mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already..."

Xie Jingrui explained to Liu Yueru in a gentle voice, "Yes, the Queen is a ruthless person. She has taken risks time and again to frame you. Something must have happened. Otherwise, the Queen can wait for a while."

"Don't ask too many questions. I will send you out of the palace later, and then you give this to your brother." Xie Jingrui said as he stuffed a small note into Liu Yueru's hand.

Liu Yueru frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"You still want to stay in the palace?"

Xie Jingrui said solemnly, "If you have any problem, listen to me. Remember, you must hand that thing over to Big Brother. Wait for my signal. If you get the signal, you can let Big Brother lead his troops into the palace!"

Liu Yueru's heart sank as she realized the seriousness of the matter.

She took all of Xie Jingrui's words to heart and looked at him with concern. "You should be careful."

"Don't worry." Xie Jingrui gently rubbed Liu Yueru's hair.

He escorted Liu Yueru all the way out of the palace, and then went to the emperor's study.

After asking, Xie Jingrui learned that Emperor Hexu felt unwell after coming out of Fengyi Palace.

He walked hurriedly towards Emperor Hexu's bedroom.

Xie Jingrui came to the door and looked calmly at the guards outside and the people who were patrolling not far away.

I found that they were all unfamiliar faces.

His eyes darkened, and then he quickly entered Emperor Hexu's bedroom.

The virtuous concubine stayed beside the Hexu Emperor and gently massaged his hands.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yueru raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Xie Jingrui; "Why are you here? Where's Yue'er?"

"She has been sent out of the palace." Xie Jingrui signaled the servants to leave.

His expression became serious.

Xian Fei was the first to notice something was wrong. She frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Jingrui looked at the haggard-looking Hexu Emperor lying on the bed, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He stood up and looked around the emperor's bedroom, looking for the harmful thing.

Xie Jingrui found his confidant and invited the genius doctor Yunhe to come over.

After examination, they found that the reason why Emperor Hexu was getting weaker and weaker was that there was a strange fragrance in his bedroom. After using it for a long time, it would make people's body become weaker and weaker.

The genius doctor Yunhe prescribed medicine for Emperor Hexu's recuperation, and fed him a pill before leaving.

Pulling Xie Jingrui aside, he said, "The palace is unusually strange today, Your Majesty, things are going to change..."

After Yun He finished speaking, he also left the palace.

Xie Jingrui's heart skipped a beat.

The virtuous concubine stayed by the side of Emperor Hexu all the time, watching the emperor's temples turning gray.

Looking at the emperor's weak appearance, Xie Jingrui took a step forward.

Sitting next to Emperor Hexu.

Emperor Hexu sensed Xie Jingrui's arrival, stretched out his hand, and said weakly, "Go and get the things in the secret compartment..."
