After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince
Chapter 24 Digging one’s own grave
Shen Chujiang and Fuling, who were originally in a low mood, were slightly startled when they heard this and asked in unison, "Who?"
This time, Xu San didn't keep the secret and said directly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shang."
Hearing Xie Ming enter the palace, Xie An Ning's eyes widened and he immediately stood up, "Since the Crown Prince has gone, I'll go too. If there are too many people, the Emperor probably won't agree."
As she said this, she wanted to leave, but fortunately Shen Chu grabbed her arm in time.
Although she was still feeling a little down, seeing Xie An Ning willing to go this far for her, it was impossible for Shen Chu to say she wasn't touched. She forced a smile and said half-jokingly, "Why are so many people going there? To force the emperor to abdicate?"
Seeing Shen Chu holding Xie An Ning back, Xu San breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, she's right. If too many people go, it might have the opposite effect. Just sit down."
After Xie An Ning sat down again, Shen Chu suddenly realized something. Her eyes became sharp. She stared at Xu San with inquiry in her eyes, "Why aren't you surprised at all when she calls the current emperor 'father'?"
Xu San was relieved to see Shen Chu finally questioning him, but he didn't answer. Instead, he asked Shen Chu, "My information is almost synchronized with the Crown Prince's, and you don't question it. I'm not surprised by Princess An Ning's identity, but you are questioning it."
Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.
Yes, the news that they didn't hear even in the capital must be extremely secretive. And since Xu San knew that the Crown Prince and General Shang had entered the palace, it meant that Xu San knew the news almost as fast as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or even knew it earlier than the Crown Prince.
But how can such a thing be easily known?
This can only be accomplished by placing spies in the palace.
Moreover, it is difficult for servants of ordinary status to know these things at the first time. It is very likely that the spy is planted next to His Majesty!
Since he could do this, it would be hard for him not to know Xie An Ning.
After all, An Ning is the princess most favored by His Majesty.
After realizing this, Shen Chu looked at Xu San with a bit more admiration in his eyes. "You have spies in the palace? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
When Xu San heard her ask this, his eyes wandered, "I didn't say that."
After figuring this out, the question returns to the beginning. Someone arranged a ghost marriage for them, what should they do now?
Shen Chu stared at Xu San and suddenly asked, "What do you mean by being shocked at how we could eat? In your opinion, what should we do now?"
"Of course, he went to dig up his own grave to prove that he was not dead."
"What did you say?"
It's fine if others don't let them go, but now... they want them not to let themselves go?
Do you have to dig your own grave after you die?
Knowing that Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling might not agree with him, Xu San said, "I just think this will be faster than you making up a bunch of excuses to prove that you are not dead."
"Since you are not dead, there shouldn't be any corpse in the coffin, right?"
Shen Chu glanced at Jiang Fuling and thought to himself, this is hard to say.
What if the system arranges it for them?
"How did you fake your own death and leave the capital?"
When the same question was asked by Xu San again, Shen Chu and Jiang Fuling covered their faces at the same time and did not answer immediately.
Their eyes met in mid-air. After a brief exchange of thoughts, Shen Chu finally spoke, "It's just that...we wanted to leave the capital at the time because of something, but we couldn't find a suitable excuse. So we took a breath-stopping drug and faked our death to escape."
Xu San looked suspicious and asked, "After the burial, did you hire someone to dig you up?"
"……Correct."
"Is there a body in the coffin?"
Xu San asked again.
Worried that the system might actually find a dead body, Shen Chu didn't say anything definitive. "At the time, I instructed the servant who came to dig us up to find two dead bodies and put them in the coffin. I don't know if that servant is reliable."
After listening to Shen Chu's story, Jiang Fuling gave her a subtle thumbs up.
She is my Chu sister, so reliable.
Although Shen Chu's explanation was very logical, Xu San still didn't believe what Shen Chu said.
I always feel like something is weird.
"Why don't we just tell the people who question our life and death about the process? Why do we have to dig up graves?"
Hearing Shen Chu ask this, Xu San smiled and said, "Of course you can say that, but you have to be careful of villains who want to make a big fuss."
He waved the feather fan slowly and gracefully.
He only mentioned it briefly. Shen Chu thought about it for a moment and immediately thought of something. He frowned and said, "Be careful that someone will make a big deal out of our death."
Why make a big fuss about someone being dead?
Naturally, there would be room for maneuver only if the two of them came back to life.
What if the system really put a dead person in that coffin? Who can prove whether this person was already dead or was murdered and thrown into the coffin?
How can you say something without just your mouth?
What if they were accused of killing innocent people? Even if they had a mouth, it would be difficult for them to explain themselves.
Shen Chu and the others could have found someone to pretend to be the servant in the lie, but there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Since this servant could be bribed by them, he would naturally tell the truth to others because of the high money he was given.
There is an old saying that is indeed true: only the dead can keep secrets.
However, as a normal successor of socialism in the 21st century, Shen Chu has not yet fully integrated into this society and cannot do such a thing.
Last night, Xie Ming held her hand and killed that man, and now she still has a shadow in her heart.
But if she really wanted to avoid such a thing from happening, she could only go and see for herself what the system had found for them to be buried in place of the dead.
Only half a year has passed. If it was a normal corpse, it should have rotted away long ago, right?
If it's just a pile of bones, just find another place to bury it.
If it were something else...
That's another matter.
After careful consideration, Shen Chu actually wanted to do as Xu San said.
After thinking this through, she looked at Jiang Fuling again. The moment their eyes met, they immediately understood what the other was thinking.
They have the same idea!
After figuring this out, Shen Chu picked up his chopsticks again. Since he was going to dig a grave later, he had to eat well.
Seeing Shen Chu suddenly relax again, Xu San looked curious and asked, "Have you figured out what to do?"
Picking up a piece of beef, Shen Chu didn't look at Xu San, but just chuckled, "I'll have to trouble you later, San'er."
He paused in fanning himself, feeling that he had let himself down.
But after looking at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, Xu San felt relieved.
Forget it, just consider it as a matter of gratitude.
Xie Anning, who had listened to the whole thing, also understood. She grabbed Shen Chu's wrist and said with concern in her voice, "Sister Chu, do you want me to bring someone with me?"
