　　Nanshu Yun Pavilion.

　　Luqiu Gongyu frowned and leaned on the couch, rubbing his eyebrows in distress. The case of the beauty trying to commit suicide was causing a storm in the capital, but as the chief judge, he was unable to make any progress and the case made no progress.

　　Although the emperor did not press for questioning, he understood that if the case was not solved, the ministers in the court would definitely accuse him.

　　Lu Qiu Gongyu had a gut feeling that Captain Zuo Jingfu was not the last one standing. If the murderer was not caught for a long time, something would happen later.

　　Just who is the next target?

　　What is the pattern of murderers killing people?

　　"Your Highness, have some tea." Du Xuanqing opened the door from outside and handed him a cup of warm tea.

　　Luqiu Gongyu glanced at Du Xuanqing and took the tea, but his body still lay lazily motionless.

　　"Qingluo girdles her waist, and her sleeves are stained with subtle fragrance. What kind of powder did you use today?"

　　Du Xuanqing smiled sweetly, returned to the piano table and knelt down, "Recently, a spice merchant came to the capital. His incense has a wide range of styles, and it is more fragrant than ordinary incense. It is very popular among the girls in the capital."

　　"The incense I used today is made from plum powder, and it's called Shengluoyan. It has a dark fragrance, sparse shadows, freshness and elegance. When used on the body, it is as thin as plum blossoms, as misty as smoke, and looming."

　　Luqiu Gongyu became interested when he heard this, "Bring it to me and let me have a look."

　　Du Xuanqing couldn't help but smile, and then went to search in front of the dressing table.

　　Staring at the beautiful lady's graceful back, Luqiu Gongyu's heart couldn't help but move, "Xuanqing, if I redeem your life for you, are you willing to go back with me?"

　　Du Xuanqing paused, her face under the shadow a bit unclear.

　　After a while, she turned around and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me and come to the slave's house to have fun. Although Xuanqing is a singing and dancing courtesan, she is not a girl from an innocent family after all. You are the prince, and you welcome me into the palace? Aren't you going to make the world laugh?"

　　Du Xuanqing came to Luqiu Gongyu and handed him the incense box, "Juro does not despise Xuanqing for being humble, and hopes to treat Xuanqing as a confidant. Xuanqing is very satisfied with this."

　　Luqiu Gongyu fell silent. He lowered his head and opened the incense box and took a sniff. The fragrance was refreshing and elegant. It was indeed a spice made by a master of home-made incense.

　　"Yes, this fragrance..."

　　Luqiu Gongyu paused for a moment, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.

　　This fragrance...

　　Lu Qiu Gongyu suppressed the strange look in his eyes and sat up calmly, "I want this box of raw cigarettes to be taken back to the palace to study and figure out the formula inside."

　　Luqiu Gongyu put away the incense box and planned to leave, but when he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at Du Xuanqing in the room.

　　"What I just said is sincere and will be effective for a long time. As long as you nod your head, I will immediately order someone to welcome you into the mansion."
