Ran Xiaoyu immediately walked to the inner room, carefully took out a purse from the cabinet, and presented the sachet in front of them.

Zhu Chengxuan said: "This is—"

Nan Yan said: "This sachet has been around for some years. I want to remix the spices in it, but I can't tell how many flavors there are, so I would like to ask your Highness for help and see if I can figure out what's inside. spices."

"Oh."

Zhu Chengxuan nodded, carefully picked up the sachet, looked at it twice, then leaned under the nose and sniffed it carefully.

Nan Yan held his breath, as if this would not disturb him.

After a while, she asked softly: "How is it?"

Zhu Chengxuan looked up at her and said, "Which spices did the imperial concubine distinguish?"

Nanyan Road: "What I smelled should be citron, mugwort, Xin Yi, and a small amount of borneol and Chuanxiong."

Zhu Chengxuan nodded and said: "Yes, but there is one more thing, the smell is very weak, and the mother didn't smell it."

Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"Benoxime."

"Bonoxin?"

"Yes," Zhu Chengxuan said, he put the sachet under his nose and sniffed it, and said: "This kind of incense smells very special. The aroma contains a spicy aroma. Although it has been too long, the aroma has been very weak. But there is still some of this pungent air. You can smell it, mother."

After speaking, hand her the sachet.

Nan Yan took it and smelled it deeply. Sure enough, among the complex fragrances, she felt a little special fragrance, which contained a hint of acrimoniousness.

"It really is."

As she said, she smiled at Zhu Chengxuan: "His Royal Highness is the best thing. We have been smelling it for a while, and we haven't figured out what this fragrance is."

Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said: "This kind of fragrance is rare, and it's only on the market in the past two years, and I just know it."

"Then," Nan Yan asked cautiously, "What if it was ten or twenty years ago?"

"Ten or twenty years ago? That was when Grandpa Emperor was in power."

"Ok."

"Then it should be that there is no such fragrance. When Grandpa Emperor was in power, the trade with the Western Regions was severed, and there was almost no way for the spices there to enter the Central Plains."

He said, looking at the sachet, and said: "It's strange, this sachet looks like our workmanship."

"..."

"There will be benzoin."

He felt strange, Nan Yan felt even more strange.

Although Emperor Gao banned trade with the Western Regions, the merchants were only profitable. As long as there was a profit, it was difficult to guarantee that someone would risk beheading to smuggle spices to the Central Plains. Of course, in this case, the quantity must be small and the price It must be relatively high, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

However, this sachet is the relic of Empress Chen.

Of course she could afford it, but, normally, she would not dare to buy the spice that was forbidden by the emperor to make sachets by herself.

unless--

Someone gave it to her.

But, knowing that this spice is forbidden, who would dare to give it to the queen openly?

Nan Yan faintly felt that the origin of this sachet was not simple.

Even if it has nothing to do with Zhu Feng's life experience, there must be some other twists and turns.

Princess Tana, would you use such spices?

She couldn't help but stared at this little sachet. Zhu Chengxuan watched from the side and asked softly: "Emperor Empress, is there any problem with this sachet?"

"what?"

Nan Yan raised his head to look at him, shook his head hurriedly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just ask."

"..."

Zhu Chengxuan is no longer a child after all.

At first glance, I can feel that the imperial concubine attaches great importance to the origin of this sachet, as if looking into something.

But he also knew that in this palace, you shouldn't ask, don't ask more.

Only in this way can we protect ourselves.

So he nodded, turned his head and looked outside, then got up and said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first, and I'm going to the Yonghe Palace to find my mother."

Nan Yan also got up: "His Royal Highness walks slowly."

Zhu Chengxuan walked to the door, thinking of something, then stopped and looked back at her: "Emperor Empress, can I still see you?"

"..."

Meeting his gentle and careful gaze, Nan Yan felt a little bit sorrowful for some reason.

Qin Ruolan did the wrong thing, what does it have to do with this child?

It was so pitiful that he was given up by the queen.

So he smiled and said, "Of course. But, the day after tomorrow, aren’t we going to leave? There are opportunities to meet on the road. Your Royal Highness will go back and be prepared."

Zhu Chengxuan immediately smiled so that his eyes were bent, and he replied, "Yes."

After speaking, he turned and ran out.

When his back disappeared outside, Nan Yan sighed lightly. At this moment, Ran Xiaoyu walked over and said, "My mother still can't bear it for him."

Nan Yan said: "No matter what Qin Ruolan is doing, I won't do anything to him."

"But, I heard that recently, that lady Qin's life is even more difficult."

"Oh?"

Nan Yan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her: "Concubine Kang, did they bother her again?"

Ran Xiaoyu said: "This kind of thing hasn't been cut off. She can tolerate all the injuries. She seems to be waiting for the emperor to go up and ask for an explanation in front of the emperor. But does the empress know, these days, the emperor last time? I have never been."

"Oh?"

"Twice, the emperor went over there to visit Niang Debi, but didn't even step into her room."

At this point, Nan Yan was a little surprised.

It is undeniable that Qin Ruolan was Zhu Feng’s woman, who appeared earlier than her, and even gave birth to Zhu Feng such a good son. This is already an established fact. Therefore, Zhu Feng will have compassion for her and go to Yanxi Palace. Sending charcoal is also natural.

But she didn't expect that he never visited her again.

You know, after his amnesia, Qin Ruolan has always been by his side. Moreover, he has forgotten all the dust, so naturally he has forgotten Qin Ruolan's betrayal of him. The opportunity to start.

Why did it get colder?

Nanyan Road: "What's the matter?"

Ran Xiaoyu said, "I asked Ye Xun to take a look. It feels like the emperor remembered their past incident."

"Oh?"

Nan Yan was taken aback.

Zhu Feng remembered that Qin Ruolan had originally entered the palace, but he deliberately had a relationship with him and gave birth to Zhu Chengxuan. This also caused Emperor Gao to alienate Zhu Feng?

Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "The emperor probably didn't think of it, someone might have told him.

"Oh?"

"After all, after knowing that Zhu Chengxuan is her child, I naturally want to know how this child came."

"..."

"I just don't know who said it."

Ran Xiaoyu said, "We really want to thank this person."

Nan Yan smiled.

At this moment, the voice of Grandpa Yu came from the door: "Emperor Concubine Empress."
