Xie Ming also stopped flipping through the letter and met Shen Chu's gaze. "Not really."

He couldn't ask for it.

I can't communicate with him.

Shen Chu dropped the ink block in his hand, glanced at Xie Ming with a hopeless look, and finally turned around and left the study.

Never mind. If she wants to leave, can Xie Ming break her legs?

Originally, Shen Chu's points had almost been cleared to zero, but the time he spent grinding ink just now added a little bit to his points, and now he has ten points.

Just climb over the wall.

In her understanding, moving into the Eastern Palace was just a temporary stay, and Xie Ming would take good care of her. Otherwise, she could do whatever she wanted.

Whether she leaves the Eastern Palace depends entirely on her mood.

But what Xie Ming understood was that before the truth came out, she had to stay with the Eastern Palace and not leave it.

Who can bear this?

I can't stand it any longer.

But this time when Shen Chu left, he did not leave directly, but left a letter in Xie Ming's bedroom. The content of the letter was simple and crude.

: Leave the palace and return at 11:00 p.m.

Xie Ming saw this letter after he finished his official business.

It was placed in a very conspicuous place in the bedroom, so as long as Xie Ming entered the bedroom, he would be able to find it the first time.

Xie Ming's hands were so tight holding the letter that they turned pale, and his expression was extremely ugly.

After a long while he murmured in a low voice,

"Do you have to let me break your legs before you stop running?"

-

Shen Chu came out of the East Palace and met Xu San not long after he left.

The other party was followed by Fu Jinnian and Zhuifeng.

It is obvious that these three people have never separated since they came down from Lingyin Mountain.

Fu Jinnian was holding two strings of candied haws in his hand, one of which he had already taken a bite of. When he saw Shen Chu, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He pointed at Shen Chu and looked at Xu San, "Is it really her?"

?

What does it mean to be really her?

Who else could it be if not her?

Seeing Shen Chu's doubts, Fu Jinnian took the initiative to speak, "That's right, San'er just said that if you want to come out, you should come out from here. We are waiting here. We just arrived a short while ago and you showed up."

"Can he tell fortunes?"

Hearing this question, Shen Chu thought for a few seconds and then gave an answer, "No? I don't know."

Xu San never told her this.

But Shen Chu was also curious, how did he know that I would come out from here?

Seeing Shen Chu looking at him with a puzzled expression, Xu San explained, "The more remote the East Palace is, the fewer people are responsible for guarding it. This is the most remote place in the East Palace. With your skills, it won't be difficult to get out from here."

Hearing what Xu San said, Shen Chu widened his eyes slightly.

"No, do you have someone in the East Palace?"

Does Xie Ming know about this?

Have the spies been planted in the East Palace?

Seeing Shen Chu so shocked, Xu San fanned his broken feather fan again and said, "I didn't say that. This is your own guess."

As he said this, he turned around and walked back in the direction he came from.

He put the veil that he had hidden in his arms on Shen Chu's head and said, "Don't scare others. Wear it first."

"..."

Seeing this scene, Fu Jinnian, who was holding two strings of candied haws, lowered his head blankly. Looking at the string of candied haws bought for Shen Chu, he suddenly felt that he was too straight.

I bought an extra bunch specially, why can't I eat it later?

It wouldn’t be a good idea to give it to Shen Chu now, right?

With a light sigh, Fu Jinnian stuffed the uneaten string of candied haws into Zhuifeng's hand and said, "You eat it."

He hurriedly caught up with Shen Chu and Xu San and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

He had never been to the capital, and everything here was quite unfamiliar to him.

"Looking for Poria cocos."

The one who answered him was Shen Chu.

The only one missing is Jiang Fuling, who else can I look for?

"The identities of the two bodies are known."

"She's Censor Liu's daughter, right? San'er has already told us."

Fu Jinnian responded extremely quickly, with a confident look on his face as he spoke, as if he had made a great contribution to knowing this news.

Shen Chu actually guessed this.

Xu San's news did come quickly enough, but she mentioned this not to tell the news to Xu San and the others, but just to discuss this matter.

"San'er, do you know when they disappeared?"

Xu San, who had been waiting for Shen Chu to ask questions, smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course I know."

Seeing Xu San waving his fan even faster, Shen Chu, who already knew his personality, said, "What do you mean? When did he disappear?"

"Half a month ago."

Half a month ago?

Isn’t that the time for spring hunting?

"Yes, it's just as you thought. He disappeared during the spring hunt."

Xu San's fanning slowed down. After a moment's thought, he added, "To be precise... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shang disappeared less than an hour after they woke up from the water."

what?

What is the relationship with Xie Ming and Shang Heng?

"Are you wondering what the relationship is between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shang?"

He turned his head and glanced at Shen Chu, deliberately keeping the question in suspense.

Then he said:

"Of course it does."

Fu Jinnian, who was eating a candied haws and following Xu San's left, was a little surprised when he heard this. "What's the relationship?"

"Do you know what the first thing they say when they wake up?"

Keeping it a secret again.

Shen Chu smirked, "What did you say?"

Aren’t they searching the whole country for her and Jiang Fuling?

Thinking of this, Shen Chu's eyes suddenly widened and he realized something.

Since both Xie Ming and Shang Heng ordered to find someone, there must be a reason.

So what was the reason they gave at that time?

"Shen Chu/Jiang Fuling is not dead yet. Go find them, even if you have to dig deep into the ground!"

Although it may not be exactly the same, this is definitely the meaning.

One piece of information that will definitely be revealed is that they are not dead yet. Only if they are not dead will they look for someone. Who would they look for if they were dead?

In other words, the person who did all this kidnapped Censor Liu's daughter within an hour after hearing what Xie Ming and Shang Heng said, and planned everything that happened now?

Even during that hour, the other party might have dug up her and Fuling's graves.

Walking beside Shen Chu, seeing Shen Chu's face suddenly change, Xu San knew that his suggestion had worked.

"In other words, the other party had anticipated the current situation half a month ago?"

Shen Chu frowned tightly, feeling that something was wrong.

"How did he know that after receiving the news from Captain Lu and General Lu, the Third Prince would propose to His Majesty that he grant a posthumous marriage?"

Besides, how could he be sure that His Majesty would not agree to this absurd ghost marriage?

Could it be that everything that is happening now is within the other party's calculations?

It's terrifying to think carefully.

Shen Chu shook his head. "No matter what, no matter whether the person behind the scenes is targeting me or not, he is definitely not a good person."

How could he be a good person if he easily killed two innocent people just to frame her and Fuling?

"Xiaoer, I feel like you're being watched."
