Only now did Zhao Jin know that this so-called sneaky plot was not targeting any prince, but him.
All the things that happened before were just preparations for today.
And Xu You alone can't pretend to be a ghost in the palace.
If you can sneak directly around Zhao Qian's palace without being discovered, you are most likely someone from the palace.
In addition, Chi Yi found out earlier that the prince had gone to look for Xu You.
Zhao Jin is now almost certain that Xu You and the prince teamed up to set up this situation.
However, if the prince wanted to settle accounts with Su Qing because of what happened to him, why did Xu You have to kill him?
From the first time he met Xu You, the other person had other intentions.
Zhao Jin closed his eyes, straightened his back, and suppressed the anger in his chest bit by bit.
Even if he is angry again, this is not the time for him to vent his anger.
Now that Zhao Qian trusts Xu You so much that he can even do such a ridiculous thing, Zhao Jin must find a way to resolve this crisis.
"Your Majesty." Zhao Jin opened his eyes, and his starry eyes became calm again, "Your Majesty, do you think this is really the work of evil spirits?"
Hearing Zhao Jin's rhetorical question, Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Why did you say that?"
Could it be that Zhao Jin said this just to avoid being sacrificed?
Before Zhao Jin could speak, Xu You said first, "There are indeed human factors involved in this matter. I have informed your Majesty before."
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "I wonder what the human factor the Imperial Master mentioned?"
Zhao Qian also remembered it and simply ignored Zhao Jin's words.
"The Imperial Master once told me that the reason why there were evil spirits that broke into the palace and even injured me and the prince was because someone manipulated the dragon pulse and specially attracted the evil spirits here."
Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, that's not right.
If the purpose of Xu You and the prince is to deal with him, then it is enough to say that the evil ghost is causing trouble, and then he needs to be sacrificed alive to suppress the evil ghost and repair the dragon's veins.
Why go through the trouble of claiming that the person behind it is human?
Do you want to pour this basin of dirty water on him, or on others?
In the blink of an eye, his thoughts were changing, and Zhao Qian's voice sounded in Zhao Jin's ears again.
"I know that I am indeed sorry for you in this matter." Zhao Qian sighed heavily, the guilt in his eyebrows clearly visible.
"But this matter is of great importance. If you are not careful, it will destroy the foundation of Zhao State, so I..."
Zhao Jin interrupted Zhao Qian directly and said, "Your Majesty, the artificiality I mentioned was not what the Imperial Master said."
"Could it be that Mr. Hou discovered something and made this statement?" Xu You asked, narrowing his eyes.
Zhao Jin glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "That's true, and there are some things that I can't understand."
Normally, Zhao Qian would be extremely angry if he was directly interrupted by someone, but this time, perhaps because he felt guilty towards Zhao Jin, Zhao Qian was not angry because of it.
He asked warmly: "If you find anything, just tell me."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin cupped his hands and said to Zhao Gan: "Your Majesty, I don't believe this is the work of evil spirits, and I have discovered some clues."
"I have never been to the East Palace, so I don't know the situation in the East Palace, but it is His Majesty's bedroom."
Zhao Jin's voice paused and continued: "The first time I came here was on the second day after Your Majesty encountered the ghost. I also asked what kind of incense was used in the palace."
Zhao Qian nodded, "I remember this."
He hesitated and said: "Could it be that it smells good?"
"Exactly." Zhao Jin's eyes were sharp, "The reason why I asked at that time was because I felt that the smell of incense was mixed with the aroma of medicine."
"Fragrance of medicine?" Zhao Qian said in surprise: "Are you sure?"
Zhao Jin nodded, "I dare not deceive you."
"Your Majesty knows that my sweetheart, Chu Weiqing, has always liked to tinker with medicinal materials, so I have been exposed to a lot of medicinal materials and am also sensitive to the smell of medicinal materials."
Xu You's face darkened, and he almost asked: "In this case, why didn't Marquis Xuan Ping say anything at that time?"
"At that time, I did not expect to be connected with the evil ghost. Moreover, I was not sure that there was something wrong with the fragrance of the medicine."
Zhao Jin raised his eyes to look at Zhao Qian, and keenly noticed the surprise in Zhao Qian's eyes, and continued: "The second time, I smelled the fragrance of medicine on His Majesty's body."
"That time I fell down in the hall?" Zhao Qian asked, frowning.
"Yes, when I was bandaging and treating His Majesty's wounds, I smelled a medicinal fragrance on Your Majesty's body. If you don't touch it, it would be mixed with the incense from your clothes."
"Moreover," Zhao Jin's expression became more solemn, "the scent of the medicine this time is different from the last time I smelled it in His Majesty's palace."
Before Xu You and Zhao Qian could say anything, Zhao Jin continued speaking very quickly.
"The third time, His Majesty fell behind his legs, and I came to His Majesty's palace. This time, the scent of medicine in His Majesty's palace was the same as the second time."
Zhao Jin changed his voice and said, "However, on the day when the imperial master came back, the fragrance of the medicine that I smelled again was the same as that in His Majesty's palace the first time."
"Later, the scent of these medicinal herbs disappeared in His Majesty's palace."
The scent of the medicine has changed several times. If what Zhao Jin said is true, it is undoubtedly very problematic.
"Perhaps I am not sensitive to the so-called medicinal aroma, but I have never smelled the medicinal aroma mentioned by Xuan Pinghou."
Xu You showed some confusion, "But, Your Majesty, I wonder who is responsible for this incense?"
"This is Shouguan, my palace, and he is in charge of all things."
Zhao Qian's expression completely darkened.
If there is something wrong with the incense, then is his nightmare every day because of ghosts or the incense?
If it is because of incense, then could the so-called ghost images be man-made?
Zhao Qian took a deep breath and said loudly: "Shou Quan! Get in here!"
Shouquan had been standing guard outside the palace door. When he heard the loud shout, he quickly ran in and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty?"
"I ask you, have you found anything wrong with the incense?"
"Incense?" Shouquan was stunned, looking confused, "Is there anything wrong with incense?"
The confusion on Shouquan's face was so real that it didn't look like he was faking it at all.
Xu You suggested: "Why don't you take the remaining incense and check it, then you can know if there is something wrong."
"Did the Imperial Master think that the people behind the scenes would keep the incense until now?" Zhao Jin raised his eyelids with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Xu You choked, his expression clearly extinguished, and he breathed heavily for a moment. After a while, he managed to calm down his voice and said, "Then I wonder how Marquis Xuanping can investigate?"
Zhao Jin said firmly: "The scent of the medicinal scent of the incense burner disappeared not long ago. If the incense is mixed with medicine and burned for such a long time, the scent will definitely remain."
