Situ Xingchen frowned.
"Yes! It seems that Mr. Ye, the dean of Tianlu College, personally escorted him here. He should be at the library now, right?"
"Hasn't she already been selected by the envoys of the Tianling Dynasty? Why is she still here?"
"Who knows this? But since she is here, she must be allowed, right? Have you ever heard that she was born with a broken original vein when she was a child, and she suddenly became a genius a few months ago!? I really don't know about Chu Liu. What kind of person is Yue?"
"A genius is a genius, but it's a pity that he has an engagement with King Li of Yaochen Kingdom. That's just a medicine jar."
"I heard that King Li is very handsome. Maybe some people like him? Haha!"
The figures of several people gradually moved away, and their voices gradually disappeared.
Situ Xingchen remained silent for a long time, even standing until his feet were numb.
She found that she still couldn't accept what had happened.
Whether it's the Qingjiao Association or the engagement between Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue!
She thought for a long time, then turned around and returned to the mountain of medicine.
There are several wooden houses halfway up the mountain.
One of them was specifically for her to rest.
She entered it, locked the door, and sat at the desk.
The rich medicinal aroma fills the tip of the nose.
This smell always made her feel peaceful before, but now it only reminds her of that humiliating day.
She sat quietly for a while and took out a letter.
This letter comes from Rong Jin.
Before she left the imperial capital, Rong Jin sent someone to deliver this letter privately.
But at that time, her mind was on Rong Xiu, so she didn't take it apart and look at it.
Now
She stared at the letter for a while, then opened it without hesitation.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured in through the window, dragging Situ Xingchen's shadow extremely long.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the void.
A figure walked out of it, it was Elder Lian Heng.
"The eldest princess."
A low and hoarse voice sounded in the room.
Situ Xingchen suddenly came back to his senses, moved his eyes away from the letter, and subconsciously put it away, and then looked at Elder Lian Heng.
Situ Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him, but there was still a look of shock in his eyes that had not faded.
Elder Lian Heng noticed something was wrong with her and couldn't help asking:
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
His eyes glanced over the letter in Situ Xingchen's hand, his expression slightly condensed.
"This is."
"You went to investigate Chu Liuyue before, but what did you find out?"
Situ Xingchen interrupted Elder Lianhuang and asked.
Even Elder Hong did not continue to study the letter, and only leaned forward slightly:
"Two things were found."
"First, on the tenth day of July, Chu Xianmin sent people to assassinate Chu Liuyue. Those people took Chu Liuyue out of the imperial capital and wanted to kill her in the mountains and forests. But that day, Chu Liuyue He did not die, but returned to the Chu family safely."
Situ Xingchen frowned slightly.
She had also heard about Chu Xianmin, and it was normal that she would secretly kill Chu Liuyue in order to win the position of crown princess.
"You think there's something wrong with this?"
"Of course. Your Highness, please don't forget that Chu Liuyue was still a loser with incomplete original veins at that time, and the few people sent by Chu Xianmin. According to my investigation, they included a third-level warrior."
Situ Xingchen looked stunned.
Although a third-level warrior is not a strong one, he can definitely handle a girl with no training!
"Chu Liuyue returned alive, but where are the three people?"
"died."
A strange smile appeared on Elder Lianhuang's face.
"Moreover, it's the kind where you never see people alive or dead bodies. Because the identities of those three people are already ordinary, and Chu Xianmin deliberately suppressed the matter for fear of being exposed, so their disappearance did not cause any concern at all. Anyone’s attention. And Chu Liuyue has undergone earth-shaking changes since that day. After returning to the Chu family, she bought a lot of medicinal materials from Zhenbao Pavilion, and not long after, she was admitted to Tianlu College .Everyone knows what happened next.”
Many conjectures flashed through Situ Xingchen's mind and he asked quickly:
"What about the second thing?"
"The second thing, coincidentally, is also related to that mountain forest. You probably don't know yet, but the fourth princess of Yaochen Kingdom, Rong Zhen, is missing."
Situ Xingchen knew Rong Zhen, but they had no contact with each other, so he didn't have a deep impression.
"Isn't it true that her original pill was broken and she has been recuperating in the palace? Why did she suddenly disappear? Moreover, there seems to be no news about this matter?"
Although she has returned to Taiyan Academy, she has not lost contact with the outside world.
If Rong Zhen is really missing, it stands to reason that such a major matter will spread.
"Because Rong Zhen ran out on his own."
He had been secretly investigating Chu Liuyue during this period, but he didn't expect to find out something.
"That day, Chu Liuyue was forcibly taken away from Tianlu Academy by a fifth-level warrior. I hid my aura and followed them all the way. Finally, I found that they went to the mountain forest. Because I did not follow them in, but not long after, Chu Liuyue He came out. After that, people in the imperial capital began to secretly search for Rong Zhen’s whereabouts. "
As long as you string these things together, it's not difficult to imagine what happened that day.
Situ Xingchen was shocked, and after a while he said:
"In other words, Chu Liuyue also killed Rong Zhen?"
Elder Lian Heng pondered for a moment:
"That's not necessarily true, but after she left, I went into the forest to search, but didn't find any trace. And the queen still doesn't dare to make a big fuss about it."
Situ Xingchen's eyes flashed and he murmured in a low voice:
"So, Chu Liuyue's actions are really secretive enough. But there is no airtight wall in this world. She may not have thought that the things she did have actually been known to others!"
How ridiculous!
She now has both fame and fortune, and has even come to the library of their college!
"Elder Princess, what are you going to do?" Elder Lianhuang asked, "Rong Zhen must have another reason for targeting Chu Liuyue, you see."
"Rong Zhen was favored before. Even if the original pill was broken into a useless person, she was still the fourth princess with a noble status. How could it be anyone else's turn to decide her life or death? There is no news from Yaochen Kingdom yet. It can be seen that Jia Jia Emperor Wen doesn't know about this yet. She was his most beloved daughter. If he knew the news, I really don't know how sad he would be."
Situ Xingchen spoke slowly, with a trace of pity on his face, but his eyes flashed with a cold and vicious light, which disappeared in an instant.
"You mean-"
"Elder Lianhuang, you have worked hard during this period. Leave the rest to me."
Situ Xingchen took out a pen and paper.
"I will tell these things to those who need to know."
