After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince
Chapter 28 Full of lies
After the last words fell, Xu San shook his head with a look of "heartache".
Seeing him like this, Shen Chu couldn't help but want to laugh.
This... is really realistic.
"Did you hear that? That's it. They are my good friends. Please let them go."
Jiang Fuling tugged at Shang Heng's sleeve and reminded him again.
This time Shang Heng did not turn a deaf ear to her words, but waved his hand to signal to let the man go.
After Xu San and the others were released, Shang Heng finally spoke, "So, what you said just now was a lie."
"..."
You can't make it, right?
"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand the relationship between me and San'er~"
Xu San was startled and looked at Jiang Fuling with horror.
No, there are more dramas than him?
Not only was Xu San shocked by these words, even Jiang Fuling herself was disgusted by herself.
Tsk, she made such a huge sacrifice.
This successfully made Shang Heng look at Xu San seriously. After a brief look, Shang Heng withdrew his gaze and asked, "So what is your relationship with him?"
What I just said was in vain, right?
Although she didn't want to continue explaining, Jiang Fuling still forced a fake smile.
"friend."
It is not known whether Shang Heng believed Jiang Fuling, but he was released.
Xie Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't wait any longer. "If you want to catch up, you can come back after you finish your work. We have more important things to do right now."
Hearing Xie Xuan's words, Shen Chu subconsciously frowned.
She knew that Xie Ming and Xie Xuan did not get along, and she also knew that the palace was a complicated place, and that open and secret struggles among the princes were inevitable. Over the past three years, she had been trying her best to avoid Xie Ming's brothers, just because she did not want to get involved.
But now it seems that Xie Ming's actions during this period may have attracted the attention of the third prince Xie Xuan, so he set his sights on her.
It can be seen from the fact that the Third Prince arranged a ghost marriage for her with ill intentions.
Now she didn't know whether the ghost marriage had been arranged or not, because Xu San got the news through abnormal channels. Even though Shen Chu guessed that Xie Ming should have known the outcome of the matter, she didn't dare to ask casually. What if she accidentally aroused Xie Ming's suspicion, causing a major reshuffle in the palace and removing the people Xu San had planted with great difficulty?
So at this time, Shen Chu had to endure it.
When Xu San comes down the mountain later, he should be able to know the outcome of the matter.
If the imperial decree really came into effect to allow her a ghost marriage, then she would have to die completely and stay away from this hellish place.
His cold gaze rested on Xie Xuan. Xie Ming's face remained calm. "My Royal Brother, if you're not planning your wedding in a few days, how come you still have time to hang out in Lingyin Mountain?"
Hearing this, Xie Xuan's facial features twisted for a moment, his teeth clenched, and he tried his best to suppress his anger.
Not long ago, in the Jingxin Hall.
The marriage that Xie Ming requested for Xie Xuan was approved.
As soon as Xie Xuan arrived at the mansion, the imperial edict arrived.
"I've heard that when heaven and earth unite, all things come into being; when yin and yang harmonize, human relationships are established. Now we have the prince, Xie Xuan, a man of noble character, both virtuous and talented, with a heart devoted to the country, a pillar of the nation. And then there's Liu Wanru, the daughter of the Minister of War, who is gentle and virtuous..."
The imperial edict was read, but Xie Xuan remained silent.
"Hasn't the Third Prince accepted the order yet?"
The eunuch holding the imperial edict looked down at Xie Xuan, his shrill voice filled with sarcasm.
The third prince's mother was a maid who climbed into the emperor's bed. She came from a poor family and her current status was entirely due to his means.
But even so, those who should look down on him still looked down on him. Sometimes when he walked on the street, he could even hear servants talking about his life experience. Whenever that happened, two more corpses would appear in the Purple Gold Lake in the imperial palace.
Thinking of the marriage that Xie Ming had specially invited to humiliate him, Xie Xuan could no longer keep the smile on his face.
But even so, Xie Xuan still forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in arranging such a marriage for me. I am deeply grateful."
"But I went up the mountain today for serious business, and I can't let romantic matters delay me."
His insinuations were clearly a veiled accusation against Xie Ming and Shang Heng.
But it didn't have any effect. Both Xie Ming and Shang Heng treated what he said as nonsense.
"What are you up here for?"
The moment Xie Xuan finished speaking, Shang Heng questioned.
When asked this, Xie Xuan winked at the person behind him.
Immediately, a guard came forward, bringing a middle-aged man with him. Upon seeing Xie Ming and Shang Heng, the man fell to his knees, weeping loudly. "Half a year ago, my two younger sisters disappeared overnight. I've been searching for them for six months with no luck, so I decided to try my luck in the capital. Luckily, the Third Prince came to my aid, and that's how I found some clues."
Shen Chu's face turned serious, and he spoke first, "What clue?"
Even if you have a clue, you shouldn't go to their graves to look for them, right?
"The Third Prince told me that six months ago, several people in the capital died simultaneously. Their bodies had already been buried, but now they've come back to life... I wonder, if that's the case, could the coffins contain my sisters? So, I beg the Third Prince to help me make this trip and uncover the truth!"
After hearing this, didn't Xie Xuan himself want to laugh?
This was Shen Chu's first reaction after listening to this man's long speech.
Although she seldom interacted with Xie Xuan, but... no one would believe this situation if she told others about it, right?
According to what he said, this person happened to meet Xie Xuan when he first entered the capital, and Xie Xuan happened to be willing to listen to his complaints and help him.
And at this time, Xie Xuan just knew that she and Jiang Fuling were still alive. Xie Xuan thought about it and thought that when they were buried, there were corpses. Now that the bodies were alive, could they be the middle-aged man's sisters? So he brought the middle-aged man on this trip?
Such a bizarre plot couldn’t even be written in a novel, right?
Shen Chu was still thinking about how to point out the loopholes in this statement, but suddenly heard a short laugh from the side, with a hint of sarcasm in the laugh, "Royal brother, you had someone make up such a story, don't you find it funny when you hear it yourself?"
"Half a year has passed. Even if there was someone in the coffin, they would have long since turned to dry bones. How can you be sure that the bones are your sister?"
The first half of the sentence was spoken to Xie Xuan, and the second half was spoken to the kneeling man.
He knew clearly that the person in front of him was the crown prince, the future emperor of Qi, so when he heard Xie Ming talking to him, his body trembled uncontrollably and his eyes glanced around randomly.
This is clearly a sign of guilty conscience.
The person Xie Xuan found is not good enough.
Shen Chu sighed in his heart.
"My sister is wearing a jade pendant. She will definitely not throw it away. I can use this to identify her..."
That is a jade pendant placed next to the dry bones.
She could see through this little trick.
"Your Highness, this man is full of lies. What should we do?"
