The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

Those assassins are highly skilled in martial arts, so it is not difficult for them to sneak into the mansion of Duke Rong. They can release the witch and sorcerer at will, but if they want to expose him later, they must find someone who is convincing and whom the emperor can trust. Otherwise, Duke Rong will deny it and say that he was framed, and the witch and sorcerer will be released in vain.

Moreover, a servant has limited influence and is far less noticeable than Liang Changjin.

The scholar who won the imperial examination and whose wife's family died tragically endured the humiliation and, after finding evidence, filed a complaint to the emperor to expose his future father-in-law. Not only would the credibility of the complaint be much higher, it would also cause an uproar among the people.

They have committed corruption, bribery, forming cliques for personal gain, secretly practicing witchcraft to curse Your Majesty, and murder, and the evidence is irrefutable. Regardless of whether it is for the people or for themselves, the Emperor will certainly severely punish Duke Rong and the Crown Prince.

Liang Changjin was silent for a moment and then said, "The assassins at the Wanshou Festival were also their people. They were the ones who laid the secret line first."

Rong Heqing felt a chill on his back and murmured, "They actually knew from the beginning that there were experts around the emperor, and the assassination was just a cover. Did they want to send that beauty into the harem?"

Liang Changjin shook his head. "I don't know. I only know that this drama was arranged by them. Zhao Lu was just a scapegoat. Once he died, the assassination case was left unresolved. Although Duke Rong was not severely punished, it did leave a thorn in the heart of Your Majesty."

"First there was the thorn, and then everything else followed naturally. Whether it was because the assassination failed and he turned to witchcraft, or because he was dissatisfied with being implicated when he was innocent, Duke Rong couldn't explain it at all." Rong Heqing pressed his eyebrows, "Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will sooner or later grow into a towering tree that cannot be shaken."

Liang Changjin nodded, "Yes, they want to completely eradicate the Rongguo Mansion and overthrow the Crown Prince. The officials in the account book are more or less related to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince cannot be completely removed. After this incident, even if the Crown Prince is not deposed immediately, it is only a matter of time."

"Cruel, so cruel." Rong Heqing sighed, "No wonder they came to chase us like crazy."

She asked Liang Changjin: "Where is the account book now?"

Liang Changjin said nothing, but took out the account book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her.

"So Duke Rong hid the account books in the temple?" Rong Heqing was stunned.

"Yes, there is a tablet for his deceased wife in the courtyard at the back of the mountain, and the mechanism is on the tablet."

Rong Heqing: "..."

999: [I really don’t know how his deceased wife’s spirit in heaven would react if she knew about this.]

It's really sad that people are still used after they die.

Rong Heqing weighed the account book in his hand and found it was really heavy. It was not an account book but a death warrant.

She touched the slightly weathered cover of the account book and asked, "What did you originally plan to do? Has the witch figurine been released into the Duke's Mansion?"

"No, I didn't completely trust them from the beginning, so I kept dragging my feet. Fortunately, Duke Rong didn't trust me very much either. He didn't mention the account book at first, and didn't allow me to ask too much."

Liang Changjin looked at the account book in her hand and said, "I want revenge, but I don't want to be someone else's knife."

Rong Heqing looked into his eyes and smiled with relief, "Yuwan was right about him."

Liang Changjin was stunned, shook his head, but said nothing.

[Congratulations to the host, the mission target's evil value has been reduced by 10, and the current remaining evil value is 55]

Rong Heqing asked some more information about Jingwei, but unfortunately, like Liang Changjin, they did not trust him. Every time they contacted him, Jingwei came unilaterally. Liang Changjin had no way to take the initiative to contact him, let alone know who the master behind Jingwei was.

Although there are still very few clues, at least one thing is certain - Jingwei's plan must be related to the throne.

Soon, Chu Suifeng came in with a bowl of medicine, and Liang Changjin quickly took it and fed it to Su Yuwan.

Rong Heqing didn't ask any more questions, left the room to them, and took Chu Suifeng back to his own room.

"What should we do next? Go back to Yundu?" Chu Suifeng poured her a bowl of warm water.

Rong Heqing sat down at the table, rubbed his waist and said, "Let's wait until Prince Duan's people come. Whether they want to sue or what happens next, it all depends on Liang Changjin and Yuwan. If they want to do it, we can help them."

She can't control the rest, nor does she want to control it.

This case involves too many people. She is just a princess with little power and cannot intervene. The final outcome depends entirely on the wishes of the person above.

But he is the most unpredictable.

She picked up the bowl and drank some water, but it sounded like she was drinking to drown her sorrows.

Chu Suifeng frowned as he watched from the side.

He wanted to say something when there was a sudden strong wind outside.

Rong Heqing glanced sideways and murmured, "The world is going to change."

*

The weather changed suddenly. After the hour of Wei, the sky became overcast. Layers of leaden clouds piled up and pressed against the horizon, making people feel heavy in their hearts.

The cold wind was biting and whistling everywhere.

Rong Heqing moved a small stool and placed it by the door. She sat on it, resting her chin on her hand, looking at the sky and clearing her mind.

Today was too exciting and tiring. She received too much information and emotions. She needed time to digest them, but she couldn't fall asleep lying in bed.

She simply came out and sat for a while.

[Xiao Jiujiu, do you think it will snow soon? ]

999: [Well, considering the weather, there is an % chance.]

Rong and Qing were more expectant.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, heavy snow fell from the sky.

The world is filled with flying white, the universe is the same color, and everything is bleak.

Rong Heqing's face became solemn, and his mood gradually calmed down.

As I was watching, a dark golden figure suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

He held an umbrella and slowly approached. As soon as he opened his mouth, the heat dissipated with the wind and his handsome face became blurred for a moment.

"Why don't you go in?"

Rong Heqing blinked, "Why did you come here in person?"

"The princess's assassination is a serious matter. I have informed the prefect of Yundu and asked him to lead people to seal off Linghe Temple. I will leave the rest to them."

Qin Yunxian looked at her bloodshot eyes and frowned, "You should rest."

Rong Heqing was silent for a moment and stood up. She was indeed very tired, but she had been holding on and dared not let go. But when she saw Qin Yunxian at this moment, the string suddenly broke.

"Liang Changjin's side..."

"I'll handle it."

These four words are spoken lightly, but they have the power to calm people's hearts.

Rong Heqing smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Watching her enter the room, Qin Yunxian turned his head and gestured to Guan Zhen behind him, "Go call Liang Changjin over."

*

When Rong Heqing woke up again, it was completely dark.

There was a charcoal brazier in the room. The temperature was not too low, but not very warm either.

She wanted to get up from the bed, but found a black cloak draped over the quilt.

She was stunned. The cloak was sewn with thick fur inside and out. It was very soft and warm.

"Phew, it's really cold. Princess, is she still awake? The charcoal basin should not be hot anymore, right? Do you want to add some more charcoal?"

"I gonna go see."

The voices of Chu Suifeng and Guan Zhen were heard one after another. Rong Heqing grabbed the cloak, put it on, and sat up.

"I'm awake, come in."
