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

At this point, Jiang Xianyue's body stiffened for a moment.

In fact, since her rebirth, there have been too many things to think about, but Shen Qinglan was indeed eager for quick success and was testing her.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xianyue pursed her lips.

"return?"

She was filled with doubt.

"I'm back."

Jiang Xianyue's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"What kind of joke is the Second Prince spouting? Wasn't the Second Prince right here on my first day back?"

Seeing Jiang Xianyue's innocent smile and lack of nervousness, Shen Qinglan suspiciously released her hand.

His eyes held emotions that Jiang Xianyue couldn't decipher.

“These past few days, I have discovered that I saw you when I was a child, on Wanggu Mountain, which is why I asked this question.”

An old Taoist priest once said that His Highness and that young girl were destined to be together.

Shen Qinglan spoke these words with a clear conscience.

Jiang Xianyue tilted her head and looked at Shen Qinglan.

It seems that not only I was reborn, but also Shen Qinglan, because Shen Qinglan never said such things in her previous life.

Jiang Xianyue thought to herself, her gaze filled with indescribable astonishment.

She didn't know which way fate had turned, so she needed to prepare in advance.

Shen Qinglan and Xinggong naturally have many connections, and she also wants to know how Xinggong tried to harm Shen Shijing.

It seems we need to start with Shen Qingge.

However, judging from the current situation, they will probably also target Shen Qingge's fate. After all, in this world, only Shen Qingge and Shen Shijing are connected by blood. Killing Shen Qingge would be equivalent to taking half of Shen Shijing's life.

"The Second Prince is acting very strangely today."

Jiang Xianyue's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but she tried her best to remain calm.

Shen Qinglan probably couldn't get anything out of him at this point, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"His Highness is in love with Miss Jiang at first sight, and naturally he is worried that Miss Jiang might give a different answer."

Moreover, he didn't want Miss Jiang to give up this excellent opportunity and lose the Emperor's trust.

"From the very beginning, the Chosen One was a test. It doesn't seem to matter who she is. What matters is that the Emperor believes the Star Palace's words that the Chosen One chose you, the Second Prince. That is what the Second Prince wants most."

Jiang Xianyue tentatively spoke.

She knew it wasn't true.

The Grand Preceptor of that Star Palace is quite capable; his prophecies from his past life have never been wrong. This is merely a trap to steal Shen Shijing's opportunity. Thinking of these things, Jiang Xianyue had a faint smile on her lips.

Shen Qinglan naturally wanted to explain, but faced with Jiang Xianyue's gaze, she couldn't utter a single word.

Jiang Xianyue looked quietly at the person in front of her.

"Second Prince, I'm a little tired, I'll go and rest first."

Jiang Xianyue bowed and quickly left.

She now understands the situation clearly: Shen Qinglan tried to scheme against her, but was quietly stopped. It seems that her rebirth and knowledge of metaphysics are now out of reach.

Where should they begin if they want to make Shen Qingge's matter a reality?

Jiang Xianyue suddenly thought of something.

Around this time, something mysterious happened in Jiangnan. Countless people were afflicted by an unknown curse or poison, becoming like ghosts or zombies.

It turned Liuzhou into a dead city in an instant, with cries of agony filling the air.

Shen Qinglan volunteered to help out.

That was the work of an evil spirit, which Jiang Xianyue secretly dealt with, and Shen Qinglan was thus trusted by the Emperor.

This was the only major thing she could think of.

Looking back now, framing Shen Qingge was a perfect storm of favorable circumstances.

Because Liuzhou was near the fiefdom that the emperor granted to Shen Qingge, who was a princess, and Shen Qingge had been raised in Qing Kingdom since childhood and had never been there.

In this life, Shen Qingge did not die and remains Shen Shijing's Achilles' heel.

Moreover, the Emperor's belief in the Grand Preceptor was almost obsessive, which was enough to destroy Shen Shijing's standing in the Emperor's eyes.

……

"Going to Liuzhou to catch ghosts?"

Inside the elegant garden, Shen Shijing smiled unconsciously, his handsome features revealing an unfathomable quality.

Shen Shijing also knew about what happened in Liuzhou.

That matter had nothing to do with Shen Qingge.

Shen Qinglan orchestrated this whole thing herself; why should he get involved, especially since he might even encounter danger?

Shen Shijing had the same thoughts about this matter as in his previous life.

Before Shen Shijing's smile could fade, Liang Feng came to report.

"Your Highness, the Grand Preceptor has predicted that something bad will happen in Liuzhou City, and it is related to the return of the calamity star. His Majesty has summoned you to the palace."

Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue in surprise.

Jiang Xianyue slowly drank a cup of tea.

"Liuzhou is close to the princess's fiefdom. Now that the princess is staying in Shangjing, she is likely to become a thorn in the side of others."

I don't know why they wanted to harm the princess. His Highness the Crown Prince still took responsibility for this matter with the Emperor. If the Second Prince had gone, who knows what would have happened?

Jiang Xianyue, fearing that Shen Shijing might not take it seriously, then added, "Maybe this will actually happen."

Shen Shijing nodded cautiously.

After leaving, Shen Qingge nervously grabbed Jiang Xianyue's hand.

"Sister Xianyue, isn't this very dangerous? I think I'll go back to Qing Kingdom."

Jiang Xianyue watched Shen Shijing's retreating figure.

"No need!"

She looked at the frail Shen Qingge.

"Qingge, you need to know one thing: avoidance is never a good solution."

Whether Shen Qingge heard it or not, her big eyes were full of doubt, but she still couldn't help but nod firmly.

……

When Shen Shijing entered the palace and saw the atmosphere, he knew that the matter was serious.

The princes had all arrived. Shen Shijing slowly walked forward and bowed.

"See Father."

An angry emperor threw a memorial at Shen Shijing's feet.

"Your Highness, how dare you! You know that girl has a bad fate and will bring disaster upon herself, how could you let her come back?"

The emperor was furious, and everyone knelt down.

Only Shen Shijing remained standing in the same spot.

Shen Shijing spoke, his tone calm and neither humble nor arrogant.

"Qingge is the Emperor's daughter, but she is just an ordinary girl."

When Qingge was born, she was almost killed by her father, the emperor. After being sent to the Qing Kingdom, she didn't see her relatives for many years.

Liu Miaomiao plotted to harm Qingge, nearly killing her, yet the Emperor still protected her.

"presumptuous!"

Before Shen Shijing could finish speaking, the Emperor slapped him hard across the face.

Blood seeped from the corner of Shen Shijing's mouth, but everyone just watched and laughed.

"I think you've had enough of being the crown prince. It would be better to let someone else take over the job."

"Who is Shen Qingge? I wanted to kill her back then, and now this bizarre thing has happened for no reason. Do you think you can handle it?"

Just as Shen Qinglan was about to take on everything, Shen Shijing spoke up.

"Your subject is willing to go to Liuzhou in person to see what really happened and prove Qingge's innocence."

This sentence caused an uproar in the audience.

The Crown Prince is in poor health and never cares about affairs of state, but I never expected him to be so eager for quick success and instant benefits when it comes to Shen Qingge's matter.
