After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"I never expected that she would look like this now." Xian Yue said with emotion, "She deserves it."

Chu Huanyan stared at that figure. Because of Concubine Xue's affairs these days, she had no time to care about Lin Zeyuan and the others.

All I know is that both Lin Zeyuan and Yang were taken away by money lenders.

Is this someone who has his hand cut off and is begging to pay off his debt?

Chu Huanyan frowned. Yang was here, but where was Lin Zeyuan?

Probably because Chu Huanyan looked at it for a long time, Yang also felt her gaze and looked at the carriage in confusion.

When she saw Chu Huanyan through the car window, Yang trembled all over, and the last remaining bit of self-esteem made her lower her head in a hurry.

Yang originally thought that Chu Huanyan would definitely not miss this opportunity and come over to humiliate her.

However, in the carriage, Chu Huanyan noticed Yang's lowering her head and just looked at her again before lowering the curtain.

"Yunchen, let's go."

"Miss, don't you go down and see Yang?" Xian Yue asked.

"That's not necessary." Chu Huanyan said calmly.

She really hated Yang, and she didn't feel any sympathy for him now that he was in this situation.

But in the final analysis, she died at the hands of Lin Zeyuan in her last life. Although Yang helped Lin Zeyuan deceive her, she had tasted the consequences now, and there was no need for her to chase him down and humiliate him.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Chu Huanyan asked someone to inquire about Lin Zeyuan's situation.

The news came back after dark.

"Lin Zeyuan is dead?" Chu Huanyan looked at Yun Chen in surprise.

Those who lend interest are after all there for money, not for killing people. It stands to reason that they will not kill Lin Zeyuan so easily, but will try their best to get the money back from him.

After all, no matter how bad things get, you can still let him beg like Yang, but if you kill someone, there will be nothing left.

Yun Chen explained: "I heard that he was running away, but was discovered. When the money lender chased him, Lin Zeyuan was stabbed in the chaos, fell into the river, and was washed away by the current."

"Has the body been found?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"No." Yun Chen shook his head, "According to the information we gathered, the knife accidentally hit the chest. There is definitely no way to survive. The money lender is too lazy to spend any effort to salvage it."

Chu Huanyan frowned and remained silent. Is Lin Zeyuan really dead like this?

The last scene of his previous life was still vivid in his mind, the sharp arrow aimed at his chest, shot out accompanied by Lin Zeyuan's sneer and ridicule.

Straight through the heart.

But now Lin Zeyuan is dead like this?

Chu Huanyan had no intention of killing Lin Zeyuan herself, so even if he died in the hands of others, she would not feel regretful, but she suddenly felt a little enlightened.

Since her rebirth, all she has been thinking about is revenge, but now, the person she wanted to take revenge on most is dead, but she doesn't feel much joy or happiness.

Rather than seeking revenge, what she wants to do now is to find out the truth about that year.

Yes, the truth.

As soon as these two words came out, Chu Huanyan's mind suddenly returned to clarity, and her whole body suddenly woke up.

When Yun Chen was still looking at her, Chu Huanyan ordered: "Continue to send people to pay attention. If you can get the exact news of Lin Zeyuan's death, remember to tell me."

"Okay." Yun Chen responded.

The news had been reported, but Yun Chen did not leave immediately, but continued to stand there and look at Chu Huanyan.

"What's wrong?" Chu Huanyan met Yun Chen's gaze.

Yun Chen was silent for a long time, his beautiful eyes seemed to be stained with the night at the beginning of the month, and the dark meaning in them was so thick that they could not be dispelled.

Just when Chu Huanyan was about to ask again, Yun Chen moved his lips slightly and finally spoke.

"Will Miss..."

"Miss, the Crown Prince is here." Xian Yue's voice came from outside the door, interrupting Yun Chen's words.

Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment, why did Xiao Jinzhi come over so late.

She glanced at Yun Chen and did not stand up immediately, but waited patiently for him to continue to finish his words.

"Nothing." Yun Chen shook his head, "Miss, go ahead."

"Are you sure it's nothing?" Chu Huanyan asked again.

Yunchen nodded silently, but his eyes seemed to be completely covered by the night.

Chu Huanyan left the room and went to the front hall to meet Xiao Jinzhi.

Yun Chen fell behind and looked at Chu Huanyan's retreating figure. The words he didn't ask just now turned into muttering to himself, "Miss, will you think I'm useless?"

He thought that he could protect the young lady with his martial arts, but after this incident, he discovered that in the face of royal power, sometimes he seemed... unable to do anything.

lobby.

When Chu Huanyan came over, Xiao Jinzhi was already sitting on a chair drinking tea.

The moment he saw Chu Huanyan, the corners of his mouth curled up almost uncontrollably, and even Qin Li, who was standing behind him, felt the joy that overflowed throughout his body.

Seeing His Highness's worthless smile, Qin Li sighed silently in his heart.

We haven't caught up with her yet. If we really want to hug the beauty, His Highness will have to freeze with laughter.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with coming here at this time?" Chu Huanyan sat down opposite Xiao Jinzhi.

Although he promised to give Xiao Jinzhi a chance in the prison today, it was already night, so it was still a bit inappropriate to come here at this time and walk through the main entrance in a swaggering manner.

"Don't worry, I'm here on the emperor's orders." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile after seeing Chu Huanyan's thoughts.

"What imperial order?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Let you be responsible for investigating Concubine Xue."

"Isn't the matter with Concubine Xue already over?" Chu Huanyan frowned.

Youlan is already dead. Could it be that the emperor wants to investigate the person behind the scenes? But no matter how this matter is calculated, it seems that it should not fall on myself, unless...

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi again, "His Highness arranged it?"

"Yes." Xiao Jinzhi nodded with a smile and said leisurely, "Don't thank me too much."

"Thank you?" Chu Huanyan's mouth twitched slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for finding me nothing..."

"During the investigation, you can enter the palace at will, and all palace residents can ask questions."

Chu Huanyan paused. In this way, she could take the opportunity to investigate what happened to her parents back then!

"How about it, do you want to thank me now?" Peach Blossom blinked, Xiao Jinzhi's tone hinted at asking for credit.

"Is there a time limit?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"Not yet."

"During the investigation, if some old things are involved?"

"All the court records are available for inspection."

"If I don't find out the person behind the murder of Concubine Xue in the end..."

"There's no punishment, just do your best."

Chu Huanyan was silent. Looking at the person in front of her, she couldn't help but ask: "How did His Highness convince the Emperor?"
