The peerless and dark princess

With Zuo Ci's advance notice last night, Chu Wange was not surprised by Shen Xinyue's sudden confession. Originally, she went to find Shen Xinyue just to speed up the investigation of the case. Moreover, many pieces of evidence were lost and the truth might not be fully restored, which would be extremely detrimental to the Qiao family. Mu Heng had no involvement in her mother's murder. At most, he knew about it but did not report it and stood by and watched.

Chu Wange didn't bother with these matters anymore, because Chu Lianyao and others were asking a sorcerer to calculate the date for moving Chu Wanran's grave. This was the most important thing at the moment. If they didn't want to choose a date, they would have planned to go to the Mu family's ancestral tomb to move the grave today.

Mu Heng was at a loss as to what to do with Shen Xinyue's sudden change of confession. Originally, if he had insisted that he had poisoned Chu Wanran because of her indifference and his neglect of his concubine Shen Xinyue's jealousy, he would at most be demoted. But if Shen Xinyue provided evidence of the Yang family tragedy, then he would have nowhere to escape. Shen Xinyue should have known a lot about those things back then, and it was still unknown how much evidence she had obtained over the years. He didn't know that the evidence of his bribery had long been placed on the desk of Prince Chen Siran, which was secretly stolen by Zuo Jiu.

"Father, this Mu Wange, oh, Chu Wange, she went to see Shen Xinyue, and then Shen Xinyue suddenly changed her statement. Should I go and investigate?"

"No need. Since Shen has already retracted her confession as she requested, Mu Heng can't escape. But this matter is of great importance, so you have to keep a close eye on it. When Chen Yunjie died, we didn't pull him out because we were wary of him, which is why he lived a little longer."

Chen Siran thought to himself that his father clearly wanted Mu Heng to die so as not to implicate his sister, because Chu Wange was still considered Mu Heng's daughter, and the little boy following his sister was indeed Mu Heng's flesh and blood. His sister would certainly not abandon him, even though she divorced her husband on behalf of Chu Wanran, the blood relationship could not be severed.

"Your Majesty is right. Mu Heng lived longer during this period, but evidence is hard to find. Lord Qiao may need to be appeased."

"Prince, then you go in my place."

Chen Siran sighed silently. Sure enough, now that this was brought up, it was his turn to do something. Whoever wanted to be the crown prince could be it. It was too tiring. He couldn't understand why his cousins ​​wanted to be the emperor so much. He didn't want to, but there was nothing he could do. His father now had only one child, and oh, a daughter he couldn't acknowledge.

Chen Yu also knew that Chen Siran was probably wailing in his heart. After all, he was his son. The more capable he was, the more work he should do. Now he still had to review memorials until very late every day. Fortunately, there was no one in the harem, otherwise he would not be able to live if the women in the harem became jealous of him.

However, the happiest person was Chen Siran's wife. She was originally just the prince's consort in the fiefdom, but now she is the real crown princess and lives in the East Palace. Her parents are very happy, but of course they are also cautious and think of not bringing shame to Chen Siran, and they are more restrained in the family.

"Hello, I'm here to look for Elegy."

Gong Qingyu was really bored in the capital, but her father had to stay in the capital for several months before he could go back, so she didn't even send a visiting card and went directly to Prince Yan's Mansion to play with Chu Wange. She was good friends with Chen Yueyao but she couldn't go to the palace to see her every day, so she had no choice but to find Wange.

"Um, girl, who are you?"

"Excuse me, Yongding Hou's daughter, Gong Qingyu. I'm here to look for Wange. Please tell her that Gong Qingyu is here to visit her."

"Princess Qingyu, please come in."

"You know me? You are?"

"My name is Chu Lixiu, and my father is Chu Lianyao."

Gong Qingyu didn't expect that the person she met at the door was Chu Lixiu. This man's outstanding appearance attracted her, so she asked. Even the maid beside her was blushing for her.

"So you're the prince's son, Chu Lixiu. Your name sounds nice. Then you must be Wange's brother. Is Wange okay?"

"Elegy, she's fine. The princess must be very happy to see her."

Chu Lixiu answered Gong Qingyu's questions while leading the group into the mansion. His measured approach made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, which made Gong Qingyu feel happy. Even Chu Wange hadn't expected that this would lead to a marriage.

"Haha, then can I come and play with her often? I wonder if she'd be willing."

"You can ask Wange about this later. You girls should understand yourselves." Although Chu Lixiu thought Gong Qingyu was a good person, he would not make decisions for Wange. "Besides Wange, my family also has my sister Chu Moxuan. She should be with Wange right now. You can see her later..."

Gong Qingyu became more interested in Chu Lixiu. If he insisted that Wange was willing, she would be greatly disappointed. Based on her experience with Wange, she would not agree easily. But if the person next to her said yes, she would force herself to say yes, because this was someone her family cared about.

"Then you must take good care of your sister. I really envy her and Wangge for having such a good brother like you."

"That's as I should." Chu Lixiu looked up and saw Wange's courtyard. "Princess Qingyu, this is Wange's courtyard. I won't go in."

"Thank you for bringing me in."

"Big Brother?!" Chu Haolin came out. "Why don't you go in? Sister Chu and I are in there. Who is this sister?"

"This person is here to see your sister."

"Sister, someone's here to see you." Chu Haolin called out at the gate. "Big Brother, I want you to teach me how to read. You read beautifully."

Chu Wange was bewildered. Who was looking for her? No one should have looked for her recently. Zuo Ci hadn't looked for her since that night, and she didn't have many friends in the capital. Unlike Chu Moxuan, she wasn't out hanging out with Zuo Ci's sister, Zuo Yunxin. Actually, Chu Moxuan wasn't looking for Zuo Yunxin; she was being a traitor. Ever since Zuo Xiang's affair came to light, and knowing Zuo Ci wouldn't tell her, she had acknowledged her brother-in-law. Wasn't she using the excuse of looking for Zuo Yunxin to tell Zuo Ci about Chu Wange's preferences?

"Princess??!!"

"I'm sorry, Elegy. I just met your brother and he brought me in. I..."

"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised you came."

"I hope you don't mind me coming here uninvited. Well, this is the gift I prepared. I hope you like it."

"Thank you. By the way, my sister is here too. Do you mind?" Chu Wange thought Chu Moxuan was also inside, so he said in advance, "I don't mind. Your brother just said that, and it was me who disturbed you."

In fact, Chu Wange was also embarrassed. She had only met her two or three times, but she never thought that she would come to find her, just like when Chen Yueyao summoned her to the palace. She really was not a person who liked to make friends.
