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

"Miss, what's wrong?" Xianyue was startled by her young lady's reaction, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Chu Huanyan stared at the bamboo tube in her hand, her face turned pale, "I was careless, this is definitely not something left by the Jiang family."

The paper was yellowed, and the small bamboo tube also seemed to have been used for many years. Both of them seemed to be fine, but the rope wrapped around the bamboo tube and used to tie the note was new.

If it were just an ordinary fine hemp rope, how could it still look so new after so many years?

Also, for Emperor Xiao to be so cautious, he must have sent people to carefully search the Jiang family courtyard, but nothing was found, so he sent people to monitor it.

The Tao Xun is placed on the shelf. As long as the searcher picks it up and shakes it around, he may find something inside. Unless the searcher is very careless and misses the Tao Xun, how could this thing have been kept for so many years.

After listening to Chu Huanyan's words, Xian Yue's expression changed instantly.

"Miss, do you mean to say that this thing was... someone put it in there intentionally?"

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips tightly. She originally thought that after Jiang Zhou determined the location of the things, just in case, he did not take the things away, but put them into the pottery xun and sprinkled dust on them to avoid Be noticed by others.

But now it seems that the things inside this Tao Xun are specially prepared for himself, or to fish out the secret person!

"Xianyue, I can't hide it anymore." Chu Huanyan took a deep breath. Although she knew that Emperor Xiao would know sooner or later that she and Xiao Jinzhi were investigating the matter as early as when Jiang Zhou's whereabouts were exposed. But this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it at all.

……

"Things are missing?" In the dormitory, Emperor Xiao looked at Eunuch Zheng who reported the news, "Has anyone been in the Jiang family courtyard?"

"Your Majesty, in accordance with your order, in addition to the people in the government office, shadow guards were also sent to watch secretly. Today, only Princess Rongchang and Miss Chu have been to the other courtyard, and Miss Chu seems to have broken the pottery Xun."

"Where's the stuff inside?"

Eunuch Zheng was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's gone."

"Chu Huanyan..." Xiao Di sneered, "It is indeed Chu Huanyan!"

When Jiang Zhou was exposed, he was most suspicious of Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi, but there was no evidence.

In that test outside the city, Chu Huanyan didn't show any clues. At that time, he almost gave up his doubts about Chu Huanyan. But looking at the entire imperial city, except for the secret man who has not been exposed for many years, only Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi may want to uncover the past events.

But this time, Chu Huanyan was finally completely exposed!

And since Chu Huanyan is related to this matter, it means that Xiao Jinzhi is very likely to know the truth.

No one can keep either of them!

"Pass my order and tell the people on the prince's side to hurry up and take action before Xiao Jinzhi returns to the imperial city."

"Your Majesty, are you going to depose His Highness the Crown Prince as before? Or..."

"No, try every means to kill Xiao Jinzhi!" Emperor Xiao said in a sinister tone, "Now that we know what happened back then, we must not let Xiao Jinzhi stay. Although Jiang Zhou is dead, God knows what they have in their hands. Given what evidence we have, Xiao Jinzhi will definitely not be able to return to the imperial city alive."

What happened back then, even if it only opened a small hole, might come back again, and he would never allow it!

"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Zheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion...should we also take action immediately?"

Emperor Xiao frowned with a gloomy expression, "Of course Chu Huanyan can't stay, but if something happens to him at this time, once the news spreads, Xiao Jinzhi will definitely try their best to rush back to the imperial city."

Therefore, if Chu Huanyan wants to be killed, he should not be so eager. The best way is to deal with Xiao Jinzhi first and then kill Chu Huanyan.

"Pass my order to let Chu Huanyan enter the palace tomorrow. I want to see her."

He wanted to see how much Chu Huanyan knew.

In the evening, when the summons reached the Ning'an Hou Mansion, Xian Yue's face had turned extremely pale.

"Miss, you must not enter the palace tomorrow!"

If, as the young lady guessed, the contents inside Tao Xun were for testing, then the emperor must have known everything by now. At this time, if the young lady comes to the palace, wouldn't it mean that there is no return?

Chu Huanyan sat at the table and looked at the crescent moon, "If you don't enter the palace, you will be resisting the decree."

"That's better than losing your life." Xian Yue said without hesitation, "Miss, if that doesn't work, let's escape. Let's find a way to leave the imperial city tonight, and then go find His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is here. It can definitely be protected..."

Seeing the look on her young lady's face, Xian Yue's remaining words were stuck in her throat.

"Xiao Jinzhi's side is more dangerous than me now." Chu Huanyan's eyes were deep, "I'm afraid the person Xiao Emperor wants to get rid of most is Xiao Jinzhi, and he will never let him return to the imperial city alive. middle."

"Then what should I do? If something happens to His Highness the Prince..." Xian Yue did not dare to continue.

At this moment, she fully realized how terrifying the matter investigated by her young lady and His Highness the Crown Prince was.

"Miss..." Xian Yue gritted her teeth hard, "In case, I mean just in case, if something happens to His Highness, Miss, you must take care of yourself."

Chu Huanyan turned to look at Xian Yue, who knelt down towards her.

"I know that you have a deep relationship with His Royal Highness, but no matter what, I still hope that you, young lady, can put yourself first."

She knew that what she said was excessive, but between the young lady and His Royal Highness, she naturally hoped that the young lady would be safe and sound.

"Don't worry." Chu Huanyan understood Xian Yue's meaning and helped her up. "We're not at the end of the road yet. You don't have to be like this. Even if Emperor Xiao really sends someone to attack Xiao Jinzhi, he may not be able to survive. Myself. And as long as Xiao Jinzhi is safe and sound, Emperor Xiao will be wary and will not kill me rashly."

After all, if Xiao Jinzhi is really completely offended and everything goes to hell, it will not be of any benefit to Emperor Xiao.

Now that he is allowed into the palace, perhaps he just wants to test it out and see how much evidence he has in his hands.

"Miss, what if? What if the emperor lets you enter the palace just to kill you?" Xian Yue was still worried.

Chu Huanyan looked at her, smiled and spoke slowly: "There are not so many things in this world that you can be sure of. You have to take a gamble."
