The people in the room all shook their heads.
Xie Heng took the sachet and examined it, "This seems to be a sachet used by girls."
"And this scent—"
"Oh right, when I came into the room earlier, I smelled this fragrance. I didn't think much of it then and assumed it was some incense the Second Prince was burning."
The Second Prince, stiffly supporting his injured arm with one hand, nodded as well, "Yes, I remember now, when the assassin came in, there was indeed such a scent in the room."
The Duke retrieved the sachet, "Then it's almost certain that this sachet fell from the assassin."
He tucked the sachet into his robes and strode out.
Outside, the Duke quickly arrived at the place where the soldiers gathered.
At this time, the soldiers, roused from their sleep in a panic, were still arriving one after another.
The Duke saw that almost everyone was there and was about to instruct several captains when he suddenly noticed that Commander Zhu had not yet arrived.
