Inside the Qianyuan Hall, the bloodstains were cleaned away, and the bloody smell was purged, replaced with a fresh and delightful Sweet Pine Fragrance.
This scent was not as rich and gentle as ambergris, but it carried a faint sweetness and warmth, causing Rong Jing to fall into a slight confusion.
The fragrance was somewhat familiar.
Soon, Rong Jing remembered where this scent came from.
When he was still the Crown Prince, after proposing to the Su Family, he often visited Su Zhixue. Once, a maid beside Su Zhixue brought a pot of Sweet Pine Fragrance, saying it was a token from her lady for His Highness.
To express his fondness, he kept the incense burner and the fragrance in the Eastern Palace for a long time.
Rong Jing felt a stirring in his heart, suddenly realizing the scent in his nose did not match what was in his memory, he frowned and called for the little eunuch: "What is with this incense?"
