Jian Fengchi didn't know how he came up with this idea.
He was certain that he had never seen Rong Xiu's face before, but when Rong Xiu spoke, his noble, calm yet somewhat lazy look suddenly made him feel familiar.
Therefore, the question blurted out.
A warm and distant smile appeared on Rong Xiu's face.
"Master Jian, where did you start from talking about this? I have been staying in Mingyue Tianshan to recuperate. I have only returned to the imperial capital in the past few months, and I have been living in Jianchu. In my memory, I have never seen Master Jian."
Hearing this, Jian Fengchi also had some hesitation in his heart.
Is it really just his illusion
But he had never felt this way before.
No matter what kind of person he is, he has almost a photographic memory and can clearly remember all the details of the other person.
No, there was another person who made him feel similar before.
—Chu Liuyue!
However, Chu Liuyue at least had very similar eyes to that person, so it was normal for him to feel familiar.
Doesn't even Mu Qinghe think so
Even the red demon treated Chu Liuyue differently.
But Rong Xiu is not.
This face was clearly unfamiliar to him.
But that breath.
"Haha, it seems that I have remembered it wrong. But it seems that I and King Li are quite close."
As Jian Fengchi spoke, he sighed secretly in his heart.
There was such a number one figure in the imperial capital, and he had not noticed it at all before!
Not just him, it was obvious that even these people in Yao Chen Kingdom only thought that Rong Xiu was just a sick man who could not even leave the house.
His Royal Highness, Prince Li, has been hiding deep enough.
"My son, I came here today for no other reason than to hear Mu Hongyu mention it inadvertently. I was curious and came here to see him. In addition, I also want to see what kind of person Chu Liuyue's fiancé is."
Jian Fengchi's words were too straightforward and even seemed a bit provocative.
But according to his status, there seems to be nothing wrong with talking like this.
After all, even Emperor Jiawen wanted to be polite to him.
Rong Xiu's eyes moved slightly when he heard him mention Chu Liuyue.
"Yue'er went to Vice Admiral Mu today. If Mr. Jian wants to see me, just ask Yue'er to inform him. I can specially invite Mr. Jian to be a guest. Now that I'm here, I'm afraid that Prince Li's reception will be inadequate."
Jian Fengchi laughed.
"My master never likes to trouble others, so I just do this little thing myself. Besides, she may not have time today."
Rong Xiu's heart moved:
"oh?"
Jian Fengchi suddenly realized something and looked at Rong Xiu with a slightly condensed expression.
Immediately, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly deep, tainted with a bit of evil.
"So King Li wants to take advantage of this young master?"
Rong Xiu's expression did not change.
Jian Fengchi is a smart man, and some superficial skills cannot be hidden from his eyes, so there is no need to pretend anymore.
"Please tell Master Jian, where is Yue'er now?"
Rong Jiu returned to the imperial study and presented the ink beads to Emperor Jiawen.
Emperor Jiawen looked at the ink beads for a long time, frowned and said:
"Do you know how to break this thing?"
Rong Jiu paused and said:
"There are generally two ways to crack Mo Zhu. But I have tried it before, but it didn't work."
I also knew that there must be an amazing secret of the Queen hidden in it. Once cracked, the Queen's side would most likely be defeated.
But he soon discovered that this ink bead was actually different from ordinary ink beads. With his own strength, he could not decipher the contents.
"There seems to be a special seal on this ink bead. I am incompetent and cannot identify it."
Emperor Jiawen stared at the ink bead and fell into deep thought.
"If even you can't do anything, I'm afraid it'll be a little troublesome."
Apart from anything else, Rong Jiu has been in the military for many years and should be the best at dealing with this kind of thing.
But now even he is helpless, let alone others
Seeing Emperor Jiawen's worried look, Rong Jiu thought for a moment and said:
"The dean of Tianlu College, Mr. Ye, is very knowledgeable. Maybe he can do something about it?"
Emperor Jiawen paused, but shook his head.
"This matter is of great importance, so it's better to be cautious. You should also be careful not to leak any news."
".yes!"
A trace of doubt flashed in Rong Jiu's heart.
This matter involves the queen and the prince, so it is not wrong for the father to be cautious.
But aren't you a little too careful
What kind of person Mr. Ye is, his father actually refused to tell him.
As if he was afraid of something.
But Rong Jiu is a smart man. Since he can see what Emperor Jiawen is thinking, he will naturally follow it.
"You go down first."
Emperor Jiawen put away the ink beads, leaned back in his chair, and waved his hand tiredly.
Rong Jiu hesitated to speak, wanting to take the ink bead back and study it carefully, but in the end he swallowed the words.
"My son, please retire."
After leaving the palace, Rong Jiu was still thinking about Mo Zhu.
My father seemed to attach great importance to that thing, but if he couldn't crack it himself, wouldn't it be useless
Could it be that Father has other ideas
The more Rong Jiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Ever since Seven Corners Alley, my father's reaction has been very strange.
He seemed to know something, but he kept it secret and just let them investigate the queen.
Now that the Mo Zhu incident has come out, it becomes even more obvious.
Rong Jiu was walking when she suddenly felt someone walking towards her in front of her and couldn't help but look up.
The person who came was a woman with a slender figure, but most of her cheeks were covered by a white gauze scarf.
Rong Jiu frowned secretly.
It turned out to be Chu Xianmin
She came to him
Sure enough, Chu Xianmin walked to a position three steps in front of him, stopped, knelt down and saluted:
"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."
"Chu Xianmin? What are you doing here?"
Although Rong Jiu was not very familiar with Chu Xianmin, he had heard a lot about her during his return to the imperial capital.
Especially. She is Rong Jin's concubine.
"Xianmin has something that I want to discuss with His Highness the Third Prince."
Rong Jiu frowned.
What can Chu Xianmin say to him
Could it be—
"If you came here to plead for the prince, you can go back now."
Chu Xianmin shook her head gently:
"The Third Highness has misunderstood. Although Xianmin is a member of the prince, he also knows the importance. I came today mainly because I want to tell you something. Xianmin has been struggling with this matter for a long time, but after thinking about it, , I still think it’s better to tell you.”
The premonition in Rong Jiu's heart became stronger and stronger.
"But Xianmin has a request: Please don't let anyone know. I told you this." Chu Xianmin tightened the handkerchief in her hand, seeming very nervous and worried.
Rong Jiu said:
"Okay! Just say so!"
Chu Xianmin hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said:
"Previously, I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussing with Princess Situ, saying that he wanted to ask her for help and find a way to enter the palace to meet the Queen. It will probably be in the next two days."
Rong Jiu was shocked! Suddenly I remembered the strange noise I heard in the Queen's Palace before!
