"Your Majesty, Princess!" Shao Jing strode over. After saluting them, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Your Majesty, do you want to go up and have a look? I'll have someone clean it first."
Chu Liuchen didn't say anything. He glanced lazily above and waved his hand to signal him to excuse himself.
Shao Wanru's calm gaze fell on Shao Jing, and after looking at it for a while, he said: "Second uncle, no need, I just felt like it was locked when I walked here, which is very strange!"
"There are some sundries on it, and they are also some old sundries. If the princess wants it, I will have someone sort it out and send it to Prince Chen's Mansion. Some of them belong to my eldest brother and I don't usually need them." Shao Jing said in a gentle tone. The way.
"Then I'll trouble my second uncle!" Shao Wanru nodded.
"If the prince and princess don't sit down for a while, I'll have them tidied up right away." Shao Jing said kindly, pointing to the main room with a smile as he greeted the guests.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, we still have to enter the palace, and we don't have time at this time!" Shao Wanru said slowly.
What happened before, although her words and deeds were somewhat tyrannical, was understandable. It must have been related to her biological parents. At this time, it was a bit unreasonable to "force" Shao Jing to anxiously sort out some of his father's old things.
After saying goodbye to Shao Jing, the two of them got into the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion. Sitting in the carriage, Shao Wanru's eyebrows were still slightly frowned. She just felt that there was something going on in the attic.
Shao Jing's attitude was so good. In the past, such an attitude would have been very common. Shao Jing gave people a friendly look with a smile on his face, but it was different today. Shao Jing had also fought with the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion before. , he is still so friendly to her right now, and he feels a strange sense of dissonance for no reason.
Shao Jing is scared? Or guilty
"Want to see that attic?" Sensing her silence, Chu Liuchen asked, his handsome eyes raised, clear and tender.
"I really want to take a look, I always feel..." Shao Wanru couldn't explain clearly for a while. This was a feeling, but there was no evidence. "I just felt something was wrong. Could there be someone hiding in there..."
This is actually completely unfounded. After Shao Wanru said it, she felt ridiculous. How could such a thing happen? But that's how she felt.
Afraid that Chu Liuchen would make fun of her, she lowered her head and pulled the fan in her hand, feeling a little confused.
"I'll take you to take a look tonight." Chu Liuchen lowered his head with a smile. He didn't ask her why she thought so, nor did he ask her for evidence. He made it sound like he was going to his attic to take a look.
"But... can we go and take a look?" Shao Wanru's watery eyes suddenly raised, and he said in surprise. She really didn't feel relieved if he didn't look at her. She really wanted to take a look.
"Of course. In the afternoon, Shao Jing will be taken away, and some of the things you found will also be sent to the Criminal Department. It's not easy for Shao Jing to come back so soon." Chu Liuchen said slowly.
Shao Wanru looked at Chu Liuchen with bright eyes. He dropped the fan in his hand and grabbed his sleeve. His voice was trembling: "But... is it okay?"
"Hmm!" Chu Liuchen looked at her with a smile and saw a flash of red in the corner of her eyes.
"Thank you!" Shao Wanru bit his lip, with thousands of words in his heart, but in the end he only said these three words.
"If Zhuo Zhuo wants to thank me, just grow up quickly!" Chu
Liu Chen glanced sideways at her, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and sighed inexplicably.
Shao Wanru felt that he understood immediately. She pinched his waist angrily and buried her head in his arms, her breath carrying a faint medicinal fragrance.
The words that I thought I couldn't say easily came out so easily.
"Master Mingqiu and Doctor Qi discovered that Dr. Qiu could make a medicine that can make people fake death. Shao Yanru used this medicine to escape from the palace. When my mother died that year, Haste, couldn't he have also used this medicine? Dr. Qiu had been silent before, but Qianer spoke up and said that he and Shao Jing had known each other for a long time, not in the capital, but at the border."
Shao Wanru's long eyelashes fluttered twice, with a hint of dark red tiredness, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, holding back the hatred in his heart: "It was Shao Jing's intention that he come to Beijing, and he said it was through Gu Xi "Shu, it's just an excuse. In fact, the main purpose is to enter the Xingguo Hou Mansion. More than ten years ago, he also gave Shao Jing a fake death medicine."
Her words were a little confusing, and she became emotionally excited. Her hands tightly pulled a piece of Chu Liuchen's robe. Some past events, when she talked about them again, almost made people breathless.
"My father is really dead. He was shot to death with an arrow..." Shao Wanru tried hard to maintain the calmness on her face, but her heart hurt as if someone had stabbed her with a sword. Those unbearable things happened to her. A past that I would never dare to think about in two lifetimes.
Her father, the eldest son of Duke Xingguo, died to save Qin Huaiyong, but what if it was him who others wanted to deal with at that time? No matter how he hides, he will die, right
There may indeed be an intention to help Qin Huaiyong, but there must be someone who wants to kill his father, and there is no one else besides Shao Jing.
Qin Huaiyong must have known something, so he didn't think she was the daughter of his savior, so he ignored her, and his attitude toward her was so strange just because he wanted to raise another daughter.
She really didn't want to open those old scars, but she had to.
Biting her lip, tears fell. Feeling the dampness on her chest, Chu Liuchen hugged her tighter and stretched out his hand to pat her back gently, with a sign of gentle care.
He no longer asked or said anything, he just wanted to protect her.
In fact, it was him who should be thanked for slowly pulling a person like him, who was full of darkness, from the abyss of darkness. She was the only one in his heart.
His parents had always been close to each other, but she was the only one.
He hugged her hard, and after a while he softly comforted her: "It's okay, it will pass."
Everything will pass, and those hurtful people or things will disappear.
The Queen Mother was actually still in Huaguang Temple and did not go down the mountain because she went secretly. She only said that the Queen Mother was still in the palace.
The carriage went all the way up the mountain road of Huaguang Temple. Chu Liuchen and Shao Wan got off the carriage and went straight to the courtyard where the Queen Mother temporarily lived.
The Queen Mother's health improved a lot. When she heard that the two of them were coming, she hurriedly invited them over. Seeing the pair of handsome and jade-like children, the Queen Mother was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Putting down the beads in his hands, he smiled and asked someone to serve them tea.
"Royal Grandma, are you feeling better?" Chu Liuchen took a sip.
He drank tea and smiled.
"It's nothing serious, just keep it!" the Queen Mother said with a smile. She looked up at Shao Wanru and saw that although there was a smile on her little face, her eyes were red. She didn't care about Jiang's matter. When I heard about it, I thought she went to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion to attend Jiang's funeral. She felt more and more sad that the child was a good person. Jiang was not good to her at all. Ruian had told herself several times that it was hard for this child to still be there. Such a kind person would feel sad for this woman.
"After the matter at the Xingguo Hou Mansion is over, don't go back too much in the future. Your second uncle is also a fool, and he actually wanted to bring an outside room into the manor."
The Queen Mother held Shao Wanru's white and tender little hand and comforted her softly.
"Royal Grandmother, you are wrong. Marquis Xingguo is not a brainless man, but a very wise man. He is very cunning and calculating. Over the years, he has driven everyone in the big house to death step by step, so that he can get them all. Benefit." Chu Liuchen raised a cold smile and said mockingly.
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother didn't understand, but she heard the plot and asked in surprise.
"Royal grandmother, when the former eldest son of Duke Xingguo went to the border and joined the army incognito, Shao Jing secretly left the capital. The time when he left the capital happened to be the time when the eldest son of Duke Xingguo was killed. Someone can testify." Chu Liuchen said.
Yan Xi has asked his father to write a letter to confirm the matter, and now the letter is in Shao Wanru's hands.
Yan Xi specially came to Prince Chen's Mansion to assure Chu Liuchen that his father could testify in person if necessary.
"This... the prince Xingguo died in the hands of Shao Jing?" The Queen Mother finally understood the meaning. This was no small matter. She straightened herself and asked hurriedly.
"Indeed!" Chu Liuchen nodded, and Shao Wanru lowered his head and bit his lip to suppress the grief in his heart.
"Then...then what are you waiting for? Let your uncle arrest him! Is he still a human being? He actually did such a cruel thing to his own eldest brother, just for a title." The Queen Mother's face was filled with anger, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She thought Shao Jing was hateful. It was in vain that she had thought Marquis Xingguo was a good character. He always smiled and had a good temper, but he turned out to be so insidious.
"I have sent his aunt to the Ministry of Punishment before. The people from the Ministry of Punishment should invite him soon." Chu Liuchen said lightly, "His aunt was the maid of Princess Qinghua. At that time, Princess Qinghua seems to have died mysteriously, and the rumors about the daughter of the former censor are all fake, and he made them up in order to let this woman into the palace."
"Wha... what?" The Queen Mother could hardly believe her ears, "This... this person is so vicious. It is not an exaggeration to kill such a person with a thousand swords! You have to tell your uncle that such a person will stay alive." No!"
"Don't worry, Grandma Imperial. The Ministry of Punishment will investigate slowly and they will find out!" Chu Liuchen said with a smile, "Grandma Imperial, have a good rest first. I'll just go and talk to my uncle. Don't tell anyone until the matter comes to light. Don’t say a word.”
"Don't worry, Chen'er, the Ai family knows." The Queen Mother patted her chest.
Chu Liuchen's Shao Wanru's eyes fell behind a gauze curtain. There was a figure there. It was not just a layer of gauze curtains, but several layers upon layers. If they hadn't paid close attention, they would not have discovered it. The figure was just hiding there, motionless...
