The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Shijing believed he understood everything.

Su Yong forced Lin Yu to impersonate him and enter the palace as a eunuch. Later, because Lin Yu became the feared eunuch Su, he blackmailed Lin Yu into doing many things, including killing his own mother and harming himself.

Jiang Xian Yue unearthed this curse, and now she can end everything with Su Yong's help.

At the critical moment, Su Yong died.

The trail went cold.

"Your Highness, things cannot be judged by appearances."

When I helped Lin Yu exorcise the evil spirits before, I was puzzled. Although the curse of being born together was true, it was true that Su Yong used a curse to threaten Lin Yu and make her listen to him.

Conversely, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Yu used a curse against Su Yong!

"After all, these two are bound by the curse of life and death. They are connected by fate, and their fates are intertwined."

Shen Shijing frowned deeply.

"But……"

"But Lin Yu didn't die!"

Jiang Xianyue lowered her eyes.

"Lin Yu was clever enough to know that I was protecting his life and that I could definitely see through the curse of life and death, so he took advantage of the situation without restraint. However, I don't have that much ability. The first time, I really didn't recognize him."

However, the method I gave him to save his life and break the curse was the same!

Shen Shijing suddenly realized what was going on.

"Last time you helped him break the curse, because the method was similar, he mistakenly thought you were helping him break the curse, so he killed Su Yong without restraint. He knew your spells, which means that this Eunuch Su... is not Lin Yu, he is not simple!"

Jiang Xianyue nodded.

“Before, I wasn’t sure, but now that he says this, I’ve relieved the curse in his body, and he thinks I can break this curse of life and death.”

From the very beginning, Su Yong was a puppet.

The Emperor is in the palace. Those who practice mystical arts are protected by the dragon's energy, making things twice as easy for them. I'm afraid I can't even handle his abilities now.

However, he was previously suppressed by Su Yong, but now he is gradually recovering!

Jiang Xianyue spoke, her brows furrowed.

"What happened at the Star Palace yesterday was kept very secret."

If someone has a grudge against Su Yong, why would they choose to come with us? If they were capable of killing Su Yong, they would have done it already.

Yesterday, the Star Palace was in such danger; there was absolutely no need to anger the Grand Preceptor at this time!

Shen Shijing understood.

“He’s been following us all along. If Su Yong defeats you, everything will be buried. If you win, everything should fall into place naturally, and you’ll be framed, which means you’re about to be in big trouble!”

At this moment, Shen Shijing began to feel nervous.

"What did he leave behind that could prove you're the murderer?"

Jiang Xianyue frowned.

“I was there yesterday. Those pills are with me, but the missing treasure is gone. He wouldn’t be trying to identify it with just a few pills, would he? Or is there something that neither of us knows about?”

Jiang Xianyue wasn't nervous and didn't know how to comfort Shen Shijing.

"Miss Jiang, you're so confident? That's the Star Palace. You came from Wanggu Mountain, so you probably don't know the Star Palace's capabilities. If the Grand Master captures you, no one can help you!"

Shen Shijing grabbed Jiang Xianyue's arm.

"You come back with me and hide with me until the truth comes out!"

Jiang Xianyue looked up and met Shen Shijing's gaze.

Jiang Xianyue was not mistaken. Since she returned, Shen Shijing had been avoiding her. Even though the two of them were now involved in interests, and Jiang Xianyue was deliberately approaching him to help, their relationship was only based on mutual benefit.

Jiang Xianyue hadn't expected Shen Shijing to take such initiative in caring for her.

As their eyes met, it seemed as if they had a thousand words to say but couldn't express them.

At this moment, Shen Shijing lowered his eyes, his voice turning colder: "If something happens to you, and the matter of the curse isn't resolved, I'll also be in trouble!"

Jiang Xianyue waved.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I am not that weak. I just didn't want Your Highness to be deceived today!"

Jiang Xianyue could easily see through Lin Yu's thoughts. Shen Shijing was also curious as to why Jiang Xianyue didn't just kill Lin Yu directly, but instead pretended to be polite.

Jiang Xianyue didn't want to talk about it; she also wanted to kill someone, but she didn't have the ability.

Now, relying on the meager spiritual energy she receives each day, it's already difficult enough for her to draw a talisman to protect herself. And having to deal with people who practice such vile spells, Jiang Xian Yue is genuinely afraid of dying.

She took a deep breath.

"Let's go check out the Star Palace! The stolen items are probably related to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Jiang Xianyue finalized everything. She had visited this Star Palace once yesterday, so coming back today would be no problem at all.

Inside the Star-Picking Pavilion, many people were already waiting at the entrance, unlike yesterday.

Su Yong's body is gone, and everything remains as it was yesterday. The Grand Master said that this person must be found.

Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue.

"Miss Jiang, what are you going to do now? This place is completely sealed off; you can't get in!"

"But there is a way!"

Jiang Xianyue held an invisibility talisman between her fingers. In a short while, the talisman burned out, and the two walked directly to the Star Palace's minions without being noticed.

Shen Shijing was also surprised.

Everyone knows the Grand Master is powerful, and these kinds of maneuvers are common knowledge, but no one expected Jiang Xian Yue to be capable of them as well. Moreover, despite possessing so many skills, Jiang Xian Yue was neither arrogant nor boastful in her past life.

He lost, and seemed to accept it wholeheartedly.

Thinking about his past life, Shen Shijing's mood soured again. Perhaps because of his past life's habits, he was once again being led by the nose by Jiang Xianyue.

If she were reborn and knew what she had said and what she had done, she would probably laugh.

Jiang Xianyue squatted down and examined it carefully.

"I could tell yesterday that I was right. Su Yong died like that, it seemed that his life essence was drained by someone, but in fact it was because he was afraid that the curse would be discovered."

Otherwise, Lin Yu wouldn't have needed to make such a scene. The Grand Master's cultivation is not low either; he should be able to detect it. Everything should be done discreetly!

Shen Shijing wasn't there yesterday; he only heard Jiang Xianyue describe it to him.

Jiang Xianyue continued searching elsewhere and finally found her hair in a corner behind the cabinet.

Even a single strand of hair is hard for an outsider to tell whose it is.

But they know.

Once the Grand Master obtains it, he will definitely investigate. Moreover, placing it in such a place instead of in a conspicuous one is to ensure that the Grand Master searches it personally and strengthens his resolve. It seems that Lin Yu wants to take his life.

Considering that Jiang Xianyue thought Lin Yu was a eunuch and wouldn't be too wary of her in daily interactions, it was still possible for her to get her hair.

As the two were still in surprise, footsteps quietly approached from the doorway.

The Grand Master has arrived.

After the guards at the door bowed, the Grand Master pushed open the door and entered.

Jiang Xianyue and Shen Shijing exchanged glances, both looking tense. With the Grand Master seeing the two of them, Jiang Xianyue would be unable to defend herself in the matter.
