The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

The orioles interpret the language at the beginning, which is the most beneficial thing in the spring of the year.

Outside the window, the flowers and trees in the garden are reviving, and the roses on the trellises are blooming with white fragrance. A breeze blows by, the spring light is like water, and the sea of ​​flowers is silent.

Seeing this scene and feeling, Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly felt itchy.

She jumped up, as light as a swallow, with her black hair flying in the air.

The sword at the waist fell on his palm, and the long sword hissed through the air, going back and forth without stopping.

When the wind blows, the petals fly.

When Chu Heng came in, he saw such a beautiful scene.

Hearing someone coming, Cheng Jiuyuan stopped his move and Duansheng instantly returned to his waist.

Chu Heng stepped forward and praised, "Good swordsmanship."

"How did you come?"

Chu Heng reached out and gently brushed a petal off her shoulder, "You didn't see the end of the play we watched a few days ago."

The two walked into the room side by side. Mu Jin and Song Lan served some tea and snacks and left quietly.

"Is there any result?"

"Wei Shuhui admitted that she killed her husband, but did not implicate Wei Yuanshan."

"As expected." Cheng Jiuyuan took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Outsiders think this is just a case of an adulterous marriage, but those who know the inside story don't think so. But no matter what the reason, Liang Bo was indeed killed by Wei Shuhui."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng and said, "So, Chu Ze can use this incident to get the Qiao family to agree to let him investigate the cause of Qiao Yu'an's death?"

"Smart. Qiao Yu'an died in a brothel, and the Qiao family had planned to bury Qiao Yu'an as soon as possible to put an end to the matter. But once Wei Shuhui's murder case was solved, the Qiao family had to be suspicious."

"After all, Liang Bo and Qiao Yu'an are both Wei Yuanshan's sons-in-law, and they have been pursued recently. The two died one after another. There are too many coincidences. It is not a coincidence."

"Qiao Yu'an's cause of death is shameful to talk about, and it brings shame to the Qiao family. But if Qiao Yu'an was murdered, the Qiao family can also hold their heads up high. Therefore, I think the Qiao family will agree to let Chu Ze investigate."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and sighed, "Everyone in the Wei family is ruthless. Wei Yuanshan used his daughter as a tool to gain power for the sake of the prince's cause. The Wei girl is even more ruthless. She would not hesitate to kill even the person next to her. And Wei Shuhui is pregnant with Liang Bo's child. With such courage, it's no wonder that Wei Yuanshan can become the prince's confidant."

Chu Heng snorted and laughed: "This is how the struggle for imperial power works."

Cheng Jiuyuan said, "Chu Ze's move is good. If he can't find a breakthrough with Wei Yuanshan, he can start with his sons-in-law. Two of them have already died. If Chu Ze pushes harder and something goes wrong again, who will dare to work for Wei Yuanshan? Then Wei Yuanshan will be useless. The prince is not a good person. For someone who is useless and knows so many of his secrets, Chu Ze doesn't need to do anything. The prince will kill him himself."

Chu Heng's lips curled slightly, his emotions hidden.

"If something happens to Wei Yuanshan, the Queen and the Wei family may be able to sit tight, but the Crown Prince will definitely not be able to remain calm. He is easily influenced by others, and if the people around him instigate him, he will easily make mistakes."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng: "Aren't all the people in the East Palace arranged by the Wei family? How did you place them there?"

"Thanks to the palace servant relationship list your master gave me, things have become much easier."

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly realized, he almost forgot.

The two of them were talking and drinking tea in the room, and Chu Heng didn't leave until almost noon.

After he left, Mu Jin came in with a mailbox and handed it to Cheng Jiuyuan.

After reading the message, Cheng Jiuyuan found that it was similar to what Chu Heng said.

The Qiao family is indeed starting to investigate the cause of Qiao Yu'an's death.

It was also mentioned above that Qiao Yu'an had a secret account book, and no one knew where he hid it.

If this secret account book is found, not only the crown prince, but Wei Yuanshan will definitely not be able to escape.

……

On a dark and windy night, it is time to kill and rob.

A black shadow quickly shuttled through the darkness, so fast that only an afterimage was left.

There was a coffin placed in the front hall of the Qiao family, and the lights were on.

Everyone gathered in the front hall, and few people were walking around in the mansion.

Cheng Jiuyuan lifted the tiles and searched room by room, and soon locked onto the Qiao family's study.

She quickly slipped into the study. There was no light in the room, but fortunately there was a faint light coming from the yard, and people who practiced martial arts could see things even in dim environments.

Cheng Jiuyuan began to search carefully.

Desks, bookshelves, painting jars...

As she was searching, she suddenly sensed an extra presence in the room, and Cheng Jiuyuan turned around quickly.

A tall black shadow appeared in the room and approached her. Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes shocked and she took action immediately.

The other person clamped one of her hands and whispered, "It's me."

Cheng Jiuyuan immediately stopped her force and asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Looking for the account book."

"Then let's split up and look for it."

After saying that, the two of them took one side and started searching.

At this moment, footsteps and faint voices were heard outside the yard.

"Master, it's so late, go back to your room and rest."

"How can I fall asleep..."

Cheng Jiuyuan was startled, and there was a hand on his waist. When he came to his senses, the two had already hidden behind the bookshelf.

The two of them were almost pressed against each other, the heat from his waist could be clearly felt, and the elusive breath above his head made Cheng Jiuyuan want to step back unnaturally.

Cheng Jiuyuan raised her head and met Chu Heng's eyes in the dim light.

Just as she was about to move, she heard the study door open and someone came in. The study suddenly became bright.

The two hid in the shadow of the bookshelf, not daring to move.

The person who came in was Qiao Yu'an's father, and he seemed to be looking for something.

"Master, what are you looking for? I will help you find it."

"If I can't find the account book anymore, I'll have to burn down this study."

"Then I will help you find it."

Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Heng just listened to the two men rummaging around in the study. The figures of the two men appeared in Cheng Jiuyuan's sight several times. Fortunately, Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Heng were wearing night clothes and deliberately restrained their breath. The two men were focused on finding the account book, so they were not discovered.

Every time the two people from the Qiao family passed by, Chu Heng's strength in his hands increased, and he wished he could merge the two into one and hide them in the darkness.

Cheng Jiuyuan only felt that time was passing too slowly. The pleasant and sharp scent of pine resin invaded her and wrapped her tightly in this cramped space. This strange feeling made her heart beat faster for some reason.

She raised her head and saw his slender neck, his hands around her waist, his eyes looking straight ahead, and he seemed as calm as usual.

But the sound of his increasingly rapid heartbeat and the slightly red tips of his ears betrayed him.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips silently, and seeing him like this, she gradually calmed down.

Mr. Qiao and the housekeeper searched for nearly a quarter of an hour, but still could not find the account book.

"Where on earth would he hide it?"

Finally, Mr. Qiao sighed and said, "Forget it, housekeeper."

"master."

"No need to look for it. Set a fire while everyone is in the front hall. Be careful not to burn other courtyards."

"Yes."

The two of them walked out of the study while talking, and the study returned to darkness and silence.

Cheng Jiuyuan let out a long sigh and quickly left Chu Heng's arms.

"They are going to burn down the study. Let's look for it quickly."

Chu Heng nodded, and the two of them quickened their search speed.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the room, followed by a very strong smell of kerosene.

Chu Heng and the other person bent down and squatted on the ground so that people outside the room would not notice that there was someone in the room.

"Stop, they are going to start a fire." Chu Heng approached Cheng Jiuyuan and whispered in her ear.

In her two lifetimes combined, Cheng Jiuyuan had never been as close to a man as she was tonight. The heat from the air beside her ears made her face slightly hot.

The outside of the room suddenly became bright, and the house that was doused with kerosene was soon surrounded by fire.

Cheng Jiuyuan was about to give up and was about to get up when he noticed something was wrong.

"Something's wrong on the ground!" Cheng Jiuyuan lowered his voice.

At this time, someone outside was already shouting "fire", and the entire Qiao family suddenly became lively.

Even if there is a sound in the room, people outside cannot hear it.

Chu Heng exerted force with his hands and pulled the floor tile out.

"It turned out to be hidden here!"

There was joy in both of their eyes.

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the account book, Chu Heng grabbed her wrist, and jumped up with her behind the bookshelf.

The Qiao family was busy putting out the fire and no one noticed the two dark shadows disappearing over the study.

"Here you go." Cheng Jiuyuan handed the account book to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng took the account book and flipped through it casually.

"Wei Yuanshan can't escape now."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned and left, Chu Heng put away the account book and followed her.

The sound of the night watchman was heard, it was already the fourth watch.

"Why are you following me?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked, turning around.

"I'll take you home."

"No need."

But Chu Heng did not leave and still followed behind.

"Thank you for tonight."

"No need, it's my master who wants to help you."

"Then let me thank your master..."

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars cover the sky above. The wind on spring nights is gentle, carrying wisps of floral scent.

On the quiet street, you can occasionally hear a few dogs barking, and the moonlight stretches the shadows of the two people.
