Chapter 399 Two kinds of stinks
The fourth prince seemed to be meeting guests, and Sheng Minglin waited outside for a while. The next person served snacks and tea, but Sheng Minglin ignored them and just thought about it.

Jiang Qingyang said that "Jian Siqi"'s brother was Wang Shuzhi's confidant and was accidentally injured. Unexpectedly, he died of fever... He didn't ask in detail at the time, but from Jiang Qingyang's tone, the injury was not supposed to be fatal, so everyone was surprised.

Therefore, "Jian Siqi" should have taken this time to replace the real Jian Siqi. It is even possible that the injury to Brother Jian was due to his design.

He was injured first, then killed, and then he used the dead man's friendship to join the Imperial Guard. He also used this friendship to quickly become Wang Shuzhi's confidant.

After all, it's not easy to pretend to be someone you know every day, but it's much easier to pretend to be someone new.

Just as he was thinking about it, the little eunuch from outside came over and announced: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has invited me."

Sheng Minglin walked over and entered the study. The fourth prince had obviously just finished his work and was drinking tea. As soon as he entered, the fourth prince couldn't help but frown: "Why do you have such a fragrant smell?"

Sheng Minglin waved his hand: "Don't mention it."

He said a few simple words, which made the fourth prince laugh: "Maybe I haven't seen Zhuzhu for a long time. I'm really busy these days."

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of snack to eat, and ate two pieces in succession.

Sheng Minglin saw that he was eating in a hurry and asked strangely: "Fourth brother didn't eat at noon?"

The fourth prince hummed, and Sheng Minglin said: "Then fourth brother asked someone to cook a bowl of noodles. Let's have a serious bite. I'll finish in a moment. We may have to enter the palace, so we won't have time to eat."

The fourth prince glanced at him and actually raised his hand to ask someone to cook a bowl of noodles. Sheng Minglin also picked up the chopsticks and prepared to take a few bites.

As a result, he was thinking about something and was absent-minded. As soon as he picked it up, he dropped it on the table.

So Sheng Minglin put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

The fourth prince glanced at him: "What? The chopsticks shouldn't have fallen on the table. Brother Yu, why don't you help me with it?"

It was rare for Sheng Minglin to hear the fourth prince tell a cold joke, and he couldn't help but feel happy, and said: "No, I've just been a bit wary recently... When he met Li Xuan at that time, Jiang Bai said that if he breaks something or scratches his hand before going out, he will Or if a child suddenly cries, that’s unlucky, so don’t go... I didn’t go there because I didn’t have a ride, but luckily I didn’t go.”

"Later, I almost handed over something to Changmu Feierlou, but suddenly I cut my hand, so I didn't hand it over. Later I found out that the ancestor was pretending to be Lu Yunxiao. So I dropped my chopsticks today, which means that this snack I If you shouldn’t eat it, then I won’t eat it.”

The fourth prince never really believed this, so he heard it funny, but he didn't say much.

Sheng Minglin knew the temper of the fourth prince, so he was not in a hurry to get down to business, so he recounted the events of the past few days in detail.

The fourth prince only knew the overall situation, but now it was serious business to hear the details.

A bowl of noodles was quickly brought up, and a bowl was given to Sheng Minglin. Sheng Minglin asked someone to bring a small bowl and ate half of the bowl with him before telling him about Jian Siqi.

Sure enough, as he said, the fourth prince stood up: "Let's go into the palace."

The two of them entered the palace.

They didn't know that between the two of them, in front of the palace and behind them, a guard in golden clothes went to the guardhouse and said to Jian Siqi: "Prince Duan has entered the palace, together with His Highness the Fourth Highness."

Jian Siqi's eyes were deep: "I know."

He slowly raised his hand to touch his face and sneered slightly: "I'm going out for a while."

The Jin Yiwei responded, and Jian Siqi left the guard house, mounted his horse and left.

By the time Emperor Mingxi found a reason and sent his troops over, Jian Siqi was nowhere to be found, and he had obviously noticed it in advance.

Sheng Minglin couldn't help with this kind of thing. He was afraid that Jian Siqi would jump over the wall again, so he hurried back to guard his sister.Prince Duan had already seen his daughter wilting and asked in advance. He couldn't help laughing. When he saw him coming, he came over and smelled it. The scent of Sheng Minglin floated for half a mile, and it was so pungent that Prince Duan couldn't help but smell it for a long time. Smell something bad.

But as soon as he entered the room, Tuanzi immediately wrinkled his nose.

Then she covered her nose with her hands and looked at him with wide eyes, full of confusion.

Sheng Minglin hurriedly stepped back and said, "It's okay, Zhuzhu. My brother won't have dinner with Zhuzhu anymore. My brother will come and play with Zhuzhu when he stops being smelly."

Tuanzi's mouth was also covered by himself, and his voice was muffled: "Guo Guo, why are you so swollen and smelly again! There's a new smelly thing!"

She subconsciously wanted to point her fingers, but she had no time, so she crossed her little feet. She was really worried: "There are two kinds of stinky debt pots! Alas!"

Sheng Minglin was surprised: "What Zhuzhu means is that my brother went out in the afternoon and came back with another kind of odor? Is it also a very bad kind of odor?"

Tuanzi nodded fiercely: "The old smelly, smelly! The new smelly, smellier! Even... worse!"

Although the words were very eloquent, Sheng Minglin understood and his face changed slightly.

What he had on his body this morning was corpse odor. If it was worse than corpse odor, what would it be?
He quickly ran through all the things that happened in the afternoon in his mind, and then he remembered what Wei Shifeng had mentioned about the "snacks" from Li Xuan's family.

Is there something strange added to the snack?

Sheng Minglin turned around and called Huo Chenzhao: "Shen Zhao, go find Fourth Brother and tell me if you can bring back the snacks he gave me in the study this afternoon. If it's been taken care of, go to his kitchen to have a look. Look. Be careful!"

Huo Chenzhao responded quickly.

Prince Duan and his wife had some trouble, and finally managed to coax their daughter to forget about it.

Sheng Minglin did not enter the house. He only told his father to be careful and sent all the guards and experts, including Shen Lingjue, to protect Zhuzhu. Only the seventh prince was left by his side.

Over there, Huo Chenzhao went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The Fourth Prince took him to the kitchen in person without saying anything.

The master refused to eat the dim sum, so he took it away and gave it to his servants. It was gone, but all the things used for making dim sum and noodles were brought over and asked to be inspected by Huo Chenzhao one by one.

Huo Chenzhao looked at each one carefully.

After checking until he found a small jar of scallion oil, Huo Chenzhao smelled it and felt something was wrong. He went out to take a breath, took a few deep breaths, then came back, smelled it again, and said, "That's it, something is wrong."

The master chef next to him was almost scared to death. This was the prince's mansion!There is something inside, and all nine clans will be wiped out in the blink of an eye!

He was so frightened that he stuttered: "This is, this is a slave, fried in scallion oil, specializing in making salty snacks... I really, really don't put anything else in there!"

The fourth prince looked at his expression carefully, turned around and asked, "What is it?"

Huo Chenzhao used voice transmission to enter the secret: "It seems to be...corpse oil."

The fourth prince's expression changed and he retched twice on the spot. Huo Chenzhao quickly comforted him: "Maybe I heard it wrong."

The fourth prince was not comforted and frowned, but Zhou Zhiwen quickly said: "Your Highness has not eaten snacks in the past few days, only two pieces of walnut cakes in the morning."

Walnut cake is a sweet dessert and does not require scallion oil. The fourth prince did not say anything, suppressing his nausea and said: "You can also check the others."
