Eleven was not very courageous, and he did not dare to tell Shen Qianshan the news that he had not found the princess when he was angry. It was Qi Bai who said this.
"How is this possible? How could she go so far alone to find out who is leaving the city for me? Gu Qiang doesn't have a token with her, so it will definitely be recorded by the soldiers guarding the city."
Shen Qianshan was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. The only thing that could make him relax a little was that after the last incident, all the soldiers guarding the city were replaced by him.
Now, anyone who enters or exits the city without a token must be recorded.
"Don't go to all that trouble. You can't find anything. If she didn't intentionally hide her identity and leave, she must have been taken away by someone else."
Gu Huaian pulled his hair angrily. As soon as he walked in and saw Rongyue, he was so angry that he wanted to hit her.
"Tell me, you vicious woman, where did you hide my sister?"
Rongyue was frightened by Gu Huai'an and hurriedly hid behind Shen Qianshan, looking at the fierce Gu Huai'an with an aggrieved look.
"Mr. Gu, there is no evidence for what you said. Besides, no one saw it. I took Gu Qiang away, right?"
Gu Huaian snorted coldly, "You said you lost your memory, didn't you? How do you know my surname is Gu? How long are you going to keep pretending, woman?"
As soon as Gu Huai'an said these words, Shen Qianshan on the side was also stunned. Rongyue saw Shen Qianshan looking at her and quickly explained, "Brother, this is what you told me before. Please help me." Let me explain, this really has nothing to do with me.”
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Gusu Liang and Chu Tiankuo haven't woken up yet. No one can tell clearly what kind of poison they were poisoned. They are fine now. An Ye has not fully recovered from his injuries, and Gu Qiang has disappeared again.
Why is it that the person who was quarreling with me when I went out could not be found when I came back
"Shen Qianshan, I am a good sister who has been bullied to this extent by you. Let me tell you, if anything happens to Qian'er this time, I will definitely let you bury her with her."
Rong Yue saw the opportunity and said again, "Maybe it was just because I had a few quarrels with my senior brother that I ran out in anger. If you want to hide alone, you can't find someone no matter how powerful you are." Not hers.”
"Are you worthy? For a woman like you, will my sister leave because of you? Even if Qian'er doesn't miss the prince, she can't leave without telling me, my brother."
After hearing Gu Huai'an's words, Shen Qianshan almost leaned back. Fortunately, Qi Bai saw the situation clearly and said, "Your Majesty, I will continue to look for you, and I will definitely find you."
Unfortunately, the search lasted three days.
"Senior brother, actually you don't have to worry. Gu Qiang didn't say anything when he left. He will probably be back after the weather subsides in two days."
Gu Huaian looked completely embarrassed. Not to mention his sister, there was still no news at all. Even Rongyue, who always appeared next to Shen Qianshan, was enough to make him feel unhappy.
"Is it?"
Gu Huaian curled up his lips, making it clear that he didn't believe what this woman said at all.
Rong Yue frowned, not expecting to encounter a thorn at this time. Just when he was about to open his mouth to defend, Shen Qianshan interrupted them both.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will definitely find Qian'er."
"But it's been so long, she may not still be..." alive.
Rongyue was secretly happy. She counted the days and found that it had been more than two days since she pushed Gu Qiang down the icy ravine. The temperature on the mountain was extremely low. She fell from that height and broke her leg. If the two ribs were not moved, his hands and feet would have been frozen to the point of losing consciousness. If they were moved, the ribs would be inserted into the lungs, and death would be faster.
"You seemed very happy to hear that something happened to my sister."
Gu Huaian was really impatient. He had never thought that Qian'er left alone or left so cleanly without leaving even a trace. The more clues he couldn't investigate, the more he felt something was wrong.
This woman became more and more annoying around Shen Qianshan.
No matter what, Rongyue couldn't figure out why Shen Qianshan was still unwilling to open his eyes and look at him even though Gu Qiang had disappeared. Why he was willing to spend so much effort to find a person whose life or death was uncertain, and why he was unwilling to look in front of him. What about yourself
She was obviously the one who loved him most in the world, and she would even risk her own life for him, but why, Shen Qianshan could never see herself.
"Even if you die, my sister will still be alive."
Gu Huai'an has never said such vicious words. In the eyes of everyone, he has always been a partial son. But this time, the woman in front of him harmed his sister. Of course, he can't give her a good look.
Shen Qianshan was really annoyed by their noise, so he pressed his eyebrows and returned to the study.
After so many days of recuperation, Gusu Liang and Chu Tiankuo have both woken up. Gusu Liang recovered a little better and helped to go out to find people. Chu Tiankuo even found it difficult to walk by himself. Being able to stay in the palace, just as he was collecting the flying pigeons to deliver the letter, he saw a frustrated Shen Qianshan walking out of the hall, then knocked on the door and walked into his study.
"Look at this."
Chu Tiankuo's physical condition is obviously not very good. Even with Gu Huai'an taking care of his body, he can barely get out of bed now. But for this Rong Yue matter, he doesn't mind spending the money. Come down with some strength.
Shen Qianshan frowned slightly when he saw this somewhat ancient envelope.
"What is this? Does it say where Qian'er went?"
"No, but it will say on it who did it to her. Wouldn't it be easier if you just ask the murderer directly?"
Chu Tiankuo didn't want to get involved in this matter from the beginning, but later he had no choice but to learn the truth of the matter. Now Gu Qiang's whereabouts and life or death are unknown. He slowly began to regret it. If he had learned the truth from the beginning When the time comes, just hand over everything here to Shen Qianshan, and the next thing will not happen.
Shen Qianshan opened the envelope hesitantly. Due to the age, some of the handwriting on it had begun to become unclear, but with this light, it was still vaguely legible.
"The contents here are all collected by Tianji Pavilion back then. You should know that all these things are true."
Of course Chu Tiankuo had the confidence to say these words. He was once a general. Even if he had not personally experienced some things, he could still get some information from the survivors. But he did not expect that after so many years, these things would Things can still come in handy.
"This letter says how General Rong died that year. You have also been in the military camp, so you must have heard this rumor more or less."
Chu Tiankuo had obviously begun to be unable to support his body. He held the table in front of Shen Qianshan with both hands, "If you don't speak, I will treat it as your acquiescence. You have heard it, but you have never believed it. ,Right?"
Of course Shen Qianshan had heard that General Rong's death was not actually killed in battle, but was assassinated. However, no one in Shen Qianshan had ever heard of the specific person who did it.
"Um."
"Then the content of this letter can tell you what exactly happened at that time, and it can also tell you why Rong Yue became the only one alive in the Rong family."
Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything more, turned around and left. Shen Qianshan was not illiterate. After reading the contents of the letter, he probably wouldn't feel that Rongyue was a simple-minded person.
Thinking about it, it still feels a bit ridiculous. Although all the evidence now points to Rongyue, Shen Qianshan still insists on not doubting Rongyue. Even he, an outsider, can see that this matter must be related to Rongyue. It couldn't be separated, but he was still indifferent.
The content of that letter was actually very simple. It was an autographed letter left by the only surviving confidant of General Rong at that time. As Chu Tiankuo, who had fought at the border, he happened to meet that person by chance. Naturally, this letter fell into his hands.
Until their death, Xuanyuan's close confidants couldn't believe what they saw that day, but the truth was so cruel. Xuanyuan, a dignified general, did not die on the battlefield at all, but in his own home. , or even died at the hands of his own daughter.
More than ten years ago, General Ren Rongxu was the left general. He and General Rong were as close as brothers. His daughter Rong Yue was cruel and arrogant. The imperial concubine Liu wanted to collude with General Rong and help his son to rise to power, but General Rong refused. , Mrs. Liu turned the accusation against her daughter, poisoned General Rong with wine, and executed all of General Rong's family members to seal his silence.
After reading this, Shen Qianshan felt that his head was a bit big. The story above was a bit too bizarre, but it was consistent with the actual situation.
This can also explain why at that time, only General Rong died on the battlefield, and no one in the entire Rong family, except Rong Yue, could appear in front of him alive.
It also proves why the imperial concubine, who had nothing to do with the Rong family, suddenly adopted Rong Yue as her adopted daughter. It turned out to be all because of this.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
This was probably the first human voice that Gu Qiang heard after being thrown here for four or five days. She thought she was hallucinating.
