Bab 199: Imperial Examinations and Royal Threats 1

Yu'an Temple some minutes before the Crown Prince left the temple.

Zhu Fengyin and Su Liya sat facing each other inside the Duchess's carriage when they arrived at the gates of the temple. Zhu Fengyin was tbs first to notice the fire as the smell of burned wood sipped into her nose as the carriage got close to the temple. Su Liya noticed her wrinkled nose and took in a deal breath.

She was immediately assaulted by the breath-stealing scent of burned wood and incense. "What is this awful smell", Su Liya said raising her handkerchief to cover her mouth as she coughed. The perfume on her handkerchief was quite calming, she moved it higher to cover her nose this offering herself some needed relief.
