Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

At night, on the bank of the Yangtze River, dozens of young people, dressed neatly, ran towards the river bank like possessed.

A young boy in cloth clothes looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "When will this dark night dawn..." Then he jumped into the fast-flowing water. The river mercilessly swallowed up the young life. Under the clear moonlit night, there were many young lonely souls at the gate of the afterlife.

Finally, they walked into the endless darkness with their dreams.

The next day, just as Yuan Fuge got up, Xianyue came hurriedly, "Princess... Master, something happened."

Why is it so painful? She remembered that she didn't drink alcohol yesterday, but only drank tea, and everyone drank it. Could it be that... there is medicine on the wall of the cup? !

Yuan Fuge held his throbbing forehead and sat up, "What's going on?"

"Many candidates on the other side of the Yangtze River jumped into the river last night, and they were all people who had already been on the list. Because of the incident, the Grand Tutor has delayed the announcement of the results." Xianyue told everything.

She didn't have time to react, so she patted her face and turned around to ask in confusion, "So many students jumped into the river in such a short period of time, there can't be no movement, didn't you notice anything last night?"

Xianyue thought for a long time, "After they left the Imperial Examination Hall yesterday, they didn't make any moves..."

"So, it happened suddenly." Yuan Fuge woke up completely and immediately got up and dressed. "Let's go and take a look."

She hurriedly passed through the hall with Xianyue. Helian Furong took the bun and walked over. "It's so early, why don't you eat something?"

"Grandfather, did you know that a candidate jumped into the river last night?"

Helian Furong lowered his head, with sadness in his eyes, "I heard the news when I just got home last night, but you were so dizzy at the time, so I didn't go. I guess Yu Youcheng and the others are watching over there now."

Xianyue thought of the rumors on the street today and stated calmly, "People on the street are saying that the students last night were like possessed, scrambling to jump down..."

Yuan Fuge gritted his teeth, "You bunch of beasts, drug me!"

"Did they recognize you?"

"No, I clearly remember that I was picked up by Xianyue after we eliminated Wanchun Tower yesterday. I was still conscious at that time."

Xianyue nodded, "My Lord, you told me about the scientific expedition yesterday."

"Can you confirm who it is?"

"I don't know. I only know that the person who drugged me was very skilled. There were no strangers outside the building yesterday, so it must be someone inside the building."

"It seems that they are still a little afraid of me and dare not play tricks on me openly," Helian Furong frowned, "I will go check it out now. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. You two must be careful!"

"Yes!"

After saying this, the three of them split into two groups and acted separately.

The bank of the Yangtze River was wet, and the grass at the diving place was flattened to the ground. The despair spreading from the darkness stretched out its tentacles madly. Yuan Fuge seemed to see them struggling frantically on the river bank. The scene of those students entering the examination room yesterday with full of blood was vivid in her mind. They stayed to take the exam with hope, and they took the exam because they trusted themselves, but the cruel facts before them forced her to admit her dereliction of duty.

If she hadn't come out last night, if she had stayed there, if she...

Xianyue carefully searched the crime scene and suddenly said, "Master, there are traces here."

Yuan Fuge squatted forward, looked at the mud on the river bank, frowned and said: "Slip marks, these are the traces of sliding down when the feet are not stable. The weeds here seem to be pulled..."

"Yes. If people watch from a distance, they will rush down one after another. They can only see the shadows of people but cannot see what is under the darkness." Xianyue looked around and found a letter at her feet. The last page was marked with the words Wanchun Tower.

"Wanchun Tower?" Yuan Fuge frowned, thinking of the strange figure last night, "Isn't this the place I went last night?"

Xianyue glanced at the restaurant next to her and said in a deep voice, "Master, shall we go then?"

"I must go!" Yuan Fuge clenched the letter paper tightly, his chest heaving up and down.

When she came to Wanchunlou, it was deserted, but now it is packed with people, and it is hard to get a seat. The waiter at the door is very busy. There is a woman helping out, and among them is He Yunyan?

How could he be here? Could what happened last night be related to him? But he is just an ordinary student now, a scholar who is dedicated to his country.

Yuan Fuge waved his folding fan and stepped into the doorway with Xianyue, half believing and half doubting, "Shopkeeper?"

A man in his forties came up to greet her with a smile on his face when he saw her coming, "Hey! Isn't this Mr. Helian? Would you like something to eat?"

Yuan Fuge looked around and leaned forward to ask, "Boss, please don't be polite. Why is it so lively today? It wasn't like this a few days ago."

The shopkeeper immediately smiled at her and said flatteringly, "It is all thanks to your visit that my business has improved."

"Oh? Then you have to thank me very much..." Yuan Fuge touched the waning moon with his fan, turned around and smiled like those officials.

She thought coldly in her heart: He is just a small restaurant owner, but he has followed others' example and tried to curry favor with the rich and powerful and plotted to murder his superior. I thought he was an honest man, but I didn't expect he was just a worldly person.

Looking at his flattering appearance, Yuan Fuge felt disgusted.

The shopkeeper immediately bowed and nodded to them, and waved his hand to call the waiter: "Waiter, come quickly, our distinguished guests."

"Hey, here we come."

Yuan Fuge pressed his hand down with his fan, pointed at He Yunyan over there and said, "I want that person to entertain me."

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and rubbed his hands, "Oh, that's my son. He is not familiar with the restaurant. I am afraid that I can't entertain you well..."

Xianyue raised her head and stood in front of Yuan Fuge, "What nonsense! My master can take whoever he wants."

He Yunyan noticed the disagreement over there and rushed over immediately, with a sneer on her face, "If you two want me to serve you, just say so. Why make things difficult for my old father?"

Xianyue looked at him in a short shirt, looking frail, and snorted coldly, "My master asked you to serve him, but your shopkeeper refused several times. Could it be that he doesn't want us to come?"

He Yunyan refused to be outdone and choked her, "Look at what the noble said. You are a distinguished guest, and my father was just worried that I wouldn't be able to serve you well, so he was worried. Why did it change the way it sounded to this noble?"

His tone was not loud, neither humble nor arrogant, but it contained an inexplicable resistance. The man raised his eyes slightly and sneered vaguely.

"Xianyue!" Yuan Fuge shouted, and Xianyue retreated. She looked at He Yunyan and said, "Young man, you are helping out in the restaurant, why are you wearing expensive white silk?"

"It's all because of my father's concern," he leaned forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Please take a seat in the private room, the food will be served later."

"In that case, thank you very much for your hospitality, young master." Yuan Fuge clasped his fists, turned around and walked towards the private room.

She had a gloomy face the whole way, thinking about how He Yunyan had changed in this life, and how she could get this strategist to work under her command instead of being snatched away by her second brother.

'Second brother'!!! Yuan Fuge's mind flashed with his brother's face. He only remembered that He Yunyan was under his second brother's command in his previous life, but he couldn't remember when he became his subordinate. Could it have started so early?

Just as she was thinking about it, the door of the private room was kicked open with a bang. The woman at the door looked at them with dissatisfaction while holding the dishes. She said in a bad tone, "My dear, your dishes!"

The plates clattered on the table. Xianyue glared at her. The woman looked at her with contempt and turned to go out to serve the dishes. She didn't understand how they had offended the brother and sister, and why she was so malicious towards the princess?

"Princess....."

Yuan Fuge raised his hand, put away his folding fan, and said calmly: "It seems that we thought this trip to Jiangnan was too simple. More and more people are involved behind the scenes."

She whispered, "Check the whereabouts of my second brother when we get back."

"Are you saying that the second prince was also involved in this matter?" Xinyue was surprised.

"Don't make any noise. Wait for the woman to come over and we'll see what happens."

"Yes!"
