Liu Jingshu naturally also attended Liu Yaoyao's funeral. She was observing everything in Prince Chen's Mansion throughout the whole process.

As she walked along, she found that the funeral in the mansion was going on as usual.

As for why the master did not show up, it might be because he was too sad.

That’s right. Ever since Ling Chenyu appeared in front of everyone again, he has been portraying a passionate persona.

He couldn't bear to see anything related to the late princess, so he didn't show up at the funeral hall.

Liu Jingshu didn't care about it at all.

After she accompanied Ling Jinhan through the process, they found a teahouse opposite Prince Chen's Mansion.

Liu Jingshu was sitting in a private room in the teahouse, her window facing the solemn yet desolate gate of Prince Chen's Mansion.

She took a sip of tea, with a playful look in her eyes, as if the tea contained not only Longjing tea, but also a mockery of the fickleness of the world.

"Your Majesty, look at the Chen Palace. They held the funeral in a very proper and meticulous manner, but what about the affectionate Prince Ling Chenyu?

Hey, he's probably hiding in a corner, holding his chest and pretending to be heartbroken."

She deliberately lowered her voice, but couldn't hide the sly smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, tell me, does Ling Chenyu know that the one who was burned to death was not the real Liu Yaoyao?"

Hearing this, Ling Jinhan chuckled and gently waved the folding fan in his hand, with a hint of playfulness in his elegant demeanor.

"Jingshu, is your head filled with jokes?

Ling Chenyu, that kid, probably understands the principle of singing the whole play better than you do. However, as to whether he really didn't know..."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable of his words, his eyes flickering, as if he was telling a huge secret.

"In my opinion, he probably knows it very well, but he has to pretend.

After all, everyone knows that our prince loves Liu Yaoyao."

Liu Jingshu took over the conversation with a hint of disdain in her words, as if she had figured out Ling Chenyu's thoughts thoroughly.

"Speaking of which, Liu Yaoyao is also unlucky. She was used when she was alive, and she has to be a shield for others after her death. If I were the princess, I would definitely turn into a fierce ghost and come to Ling Chenyu every night to claim his life!"

She pretended to be horrified, which made Ling Jinhan laugh so hard that he almost spit out his tea.

"Jingshu, your idea is unique, but we still have to be careful, after all, we are on someone else's territory.

But I am curious, why do you care so much about such trivial matters? "

Ling Jinhan put away his smile and asked seriously.

"Could it be that you know where Liu Yaoyao is?"

Liu Jingshu raised her eyebrows, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you are saying this as if I were a deity who could predict the future."

Liu Jingshu pretended to be surprised and gestured exaggeratedly with her hands, but there was a cunning light in her eyes.

"I am just an idler who likes to watch the fun, how would I know where Liu Yaoyao is?

However, I have a problem, I can't stand fake things, especially this kind of affectionate drama at a funeral, it makes me want to expose him!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jinhan raised his lips into a playful smile.

He knew Liu Jingshu's personality very well. She seemed weak and fragile, but in fact she was very thoughtful and had her own set of rules for everything in the world, and even used her own methods.

"Oh? Then how are you going to expose him? Just rush in and yell, 'Ling Chenyu, your acting is terrible'?"

Liu Jingshu chuckled and almost choked on her tea.

She patted her chest, caught her breath, and spoke seriously.

"That won't do. When I do things, I pay attention to strategy and grace. It would be pointless to expose him directly. I have to let him reveal his true colors himself, so that everyone can see how many shameful secrets this affectionate prince has hidden behind him."

As she spoke, her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of a clever idea.

He leaned close to Ling Jinhan's ear mysteriously and whispered.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see a good show? I promise it will be a hundred times more exciting than any show in the palace!"

Ling Jinhan raised his eyebrows, obviously interested in Liu Jingshu's plan.

"Oh? Tell me, how are you going to sing this play?"

Liu Jingshu chuckled and kept the question in suspense on purpose.

“The secret cannot be revealed, but don’t worry, I will definitely open your eyes when I take action.

Let's wait and see how deep and muddy the water in Chen Wang Mansion is!"

The two smiled at each other, and their tacit understanding seemed to transcend words.

There was a sense of "we understand" in the air.

Ling Jinhan's eyes suddenly became bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, staring straight at Liu Jingshu, as if he could see into the secret garden in her heart.

"By the way, Jingshu, how's the progress of the magic water you mentioned last time that can make people feel ecstatic and cure all diseases?

This king is looking forward to it with all his heart, waiting for it to shine!"

Ling Jinhan's words were full of anticipation, and he looked like a child waiting for candy, innocent and eager.

When Liu Jingshu heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she almost lost control of the expression on her face.

She quickly adjusted herself, patted her chest pretending to be calm, and spoke confidently.

"Oh, don't worry, Your Majesty! I promise that in the near future, you will be able to see the legendary magic water. If you take a sip, you will immediately feel refreshed. When the court officials see it, they will feel ashamed and willingly bow down before your dragon robe!"

When Ling Jinhan heard this, his eyes brightened, as if he had already seen the glorious scene of himself sitting on the throne of the country and being worshipped by his ministers.

He patted Liu Jingshu on the shoulder and smiled.

"Okay! Jingshu, you really didn't let me down.

Once this magic water comes out, we will join forces and be invincible!

By then, let alone aspiring for that position, even taking over the entire world will be no problem!"

Liu Jingshu listened to Ling Jinhan's bold words and secretly complained in her heart.

However, she nodded in agreement and even added fuel to the fire.

"Yes, yes, yes, our combination is simply a match made in heaven, no one can beat us!"

After some imagination, both of them couldn't help laughing.

After Liu Jingshu got rid of Ling Jinhan, she asked Leng Ji to take her to the cellar, but it was empty.

Liu Yaoyao ran away?

Then wouldn't her plan be ruined?
