The next day, what happened at the prince's birthday banquet quickly spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
Everyone was talking about it.
Too many things happened that night, but the most talked about person was Chu Xianmin.
She had already been having an affair with the prince!
I thought she was a pure and innocent genius girl, but I didn't expect that she was also such an ignorant girl secretly.
Although Xuanwu Continent respects strength, it is still very conservative in this matter.
Chu Xianmin is still a boudoir girl now, not even old enough to have hairpins. When such a thing was suddenly revealed, her reputation was completely ruined.
Everyone had expected Rong Jin to terminate his engagement with Chu Liuyue, so in comparison, everyone was more interested in Chu Xianmin's affairs.
Of course, Chu Liuyue surprised many people when she said she wanted to take the Tianlu Academy exam.
But after a brief shock, no one cared at all.
—Can a loser with incomplete original veins be admitted to Tianlu College
Everyone just thought she was just dreaming, and some people suspected that she was out of her mind due to being stimulated due to being terminated from her engagement.
More people's thoughts are still on Prince Rong Jin.
Now that the position of Crown Princess is vacant, Chu Xianmin, who has always been the most competitive, has exposed such a scandal, and it is absolutely impossible for her to take the position of Princess.
Therefore, many noble ladies from aristocratic families in the imperial capital are ready to take action again.
…
Chu Liuyue woke up early in the morning and practiced in the yard as usual. She didn't stop until she was exhausted.
At this time, the sky was only slightly bright.
"Yue'er."
Chu Ning's voice came from behind.
Chu Liuyue turned around and saw Chu Ning standing in the courtyard, looking at her lovingly.
She had already noticed Chu Ning's arrival just now, so she was not surprised.
Chu Ning was already used to her crazy practice every day, but he never tried to dissuade her.
He knew this was what she wanted to do, so he chose to support it silently.
"Dad, aren't you going to the shop today?"
Chu Liuyue asked a little strangely.
Her eyes quickly glanced around Chu Ning and found that he was a little different today than before.
He put on a navy blue robe, with a white belt tied around his waist, and his hair was neatly tied up. His beard had obviously been shaved recently, and his chin still had a light stubble green color.
Chu Ning today has obviously taken care of herself and looks much younger.
The most important thing is that his expression is no longer as gloomy and decadent as before. Instead, his eyes are bright and his whole person is full of energy, as if he has been reborn.
Chu Liuyue actually had some guesses in her mind.
"Daddy has something important to do today."
Chu Ning's expression seemed calm, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Chu Liuyue nodded.
It seemed that Chu Ning was finally completely inspired.
"In the future, dad will never let Yue'er suffer the grievances he suffered in the past. Some accounts should be settled!"
Chu Ning said with a firm tone.
In the past, his body was not strong enough to protect Yue'er, but now that he has successfully broken through, he can no longer sit still and wait for death!
He lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice:
"Yue'er, you said before that the person Chu Xianmin sent to intercept and kill you was named Song Lian?"
"Yes. Do you know dad?"
Chu Liuyue's heart moved.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't know him before, but after doing some research these days, I found out some things."
"Song Lian is a well-known gangster. He is arrogant and domineering and does evil things. Many people in the imperial capital have been punished by him. He is idle every day and has nothing serious to do. He hangs out in major casinos all year round. But such a person , but he has a very good background. He caused trouble a few times, and even offended some children from aristocratic families, but in the end it all went away."
Chu Liuyue nodded clearly.
"It seems that the person behind him is not Chu Xianmin, but someone else."
Chu Xianmin is not that capable yet, and there must be other people involved behind this.
No wonder, a mere third-level warrior is so arrogant.
This clearly shows that someone is covering him.
"Has dad found out his real backer?"
Chu Ning paused and shook his head with regret.
"Not yet. He seems to be very taboo about this and hides it very deeply. I just need to investigate it carefully."
Chu Liuyue nodded.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world. He has disappeared for a month now, and the people behind him will definitely not sit idly by. Sooner or later, the secret will be exposed."
She thought for a while and asked:
"Dad, does he know which casino he likes to go to the most?"
Chu Ning asked a little strangely:
"Fengyun Casino. But Yue'er, why are you asking this? You must never take risks alone—"
"Don't worry, Dad, I'm just asking casually, I won't do anything rashly."
Chu Ning felt relieved, thought about it and warned again:
"By the way, His Highness King Li has helped several times, but we haven't thanked him properly..."
Seeing her father's heartfelt gratitude to Rong Xiu, Chu Liuyue was speechless for a while.
If this continues, I don’t know what dad will do.
She said quickly:
"Dad is right, I am planning to visit you in person today to say thank you!"
Returning the things and minimizing contact in the future is the best policy!
Chu Ning frowned:
"Today? But we don't have anything to give as a thank-you gift right now—"
"His Royal Highness King Li is kind-hearted, how can he care about these things? Dad, don't you think so?" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, "We are more polite than polite! His Highness King Li will definitely not care. What do you think?"
Chu Ning was relieved.
"That's fine."
Chu Liuyue blinked seriously.
"My daughter, go now!"
…
Chu Liuyue left the house smoothly.
Now her engagement with the prince has been cancelled, but after this series of events, everyone in the Chu family knows that Chu Liuyue is not easy to mess with now, so they are much more polite towards her.
No one even asked her what she was going to do when she went out, so she was let go.
Chu Liuyue walked openly towards the direction away from the palace.
She did not hide her identity today. Her plain and beautiful little face made many people on the street recognize her and point fingers secretly, but they did not dare to come forward to bully her like before.
Chu Liuyue turned a blind eye, as if she didn't care at all.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she reached the busy road, and there were more people around her.
As she was walking, there was suddenly a loud noise in front of her, and then a figure rushed over quickly.
Chu Liuyue was about to avoid it, but suddenly noticed something, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she paused.
The other party suddenly bumped into her body.
"Catch the thief!"
There was a roar from behind.
Chu Liuyue looked back and saw that the person who bumped into her had quickly disappeared!
The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she followed immediately!
…
The sun sets.
The last trace of afterglow poured down, reflecting the slender figure lying on the couch by the window.
Rong Xiu quietly looked through the book in his hand, showing his usual clear and noble aura, but for some reason, there was a faint coldness between his brows.
Yan Qing said:
"Your Highness, today I received twenty-three invitations from the Prince's Palace, and all of them have been rejected."
Rong Xiu softly said "hmm", but the atmosphere became more condensed.
Gradually, the sky became completely dark.
Rong Xiu turned over a page and asked calmly:
"No one came to visit today?"
How could Yan Qing not know who he was asking? I couldn't help but groan secretly in my heart, and my head hung lower.
"Your Highness, no."
Snapped!
The book was dropped on the table.
Mr. Xiu was let go and got√
