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

Inside a cave on the outskirts of the city, the two of them seemed to be deep in thought.

Because the cave was so cold, the two of them huddled together and were able to sleep soundly.

Shen Shijing woke up early in the morning and saw Jiang Xianyue lying on his lap. He originally wanted to stretch his body, but now he stopped.

"After all this time, you've come again. I really wish you had come in my past life, so that I wouldn't have to live like this. You've tried so hard, but I still can't fully trust you."

Shen Shijing's feelings for Jiang Xianyue are now a mixture of love and hate.

Love is evident in Jiang Xian Yue's repeated help, even at the cost of her life. In Shen Shi Jing's eyes, these actions must be genuine.

However, Shen Shijing has experienced the harsh realities of life since childhood, and some things that were real have become fake. Coupled with his experiences in his previous life, Shen Shijing now feels that he can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue with complicated emotions until Jiang Xianyue slowly woke up and found that his eyes were staring straight at him.

Jiang Xianyue was startled and quickly moved aside.

She still couldn't figure out at which point her spiritual power went wrong and ended up in Shen Shijing's body. At this moment, she felt extremely resentful.

However, waking up with such abundant spiritual energy is a good thing for Jiang Xianyue.

"Your Highness, you're so scary!"

Jiang Xianyue quickly dodged, stood up, straightened her clothes, went to the nearby river to tidy herself up, and put her veil back on.

"Let's go to the Empress's mausoleum."

……

Jiang Xianyue was unaware that the empress's tomb was not in the imperial mausoleum. If she hadn't happened to come to Liuzhou in this life and mentioned it to Shen Shijing when he was in trouble, she probably would never have imagined it in her entire life.

Resentment is rampant in Liuzhou now.

Thinking about the events of his past life, Shen Qinglan had merely gone through the motions. He wanted to continue investigating, but Shen Qinglan had gone back to the capital to claim credit.

Since the matter didn't concern her, Jiang Xianyue shouldn't dwell on it, so she didn't pursue the matter further.

Shen Qinglan seemed to be hiding something.

The deeper Jiang Xianyue dug, the more horrified she became. She realized how foolish she had been in her past life, being so caught up in such matters without even thinking to investigate properly.

They circled the guards and arrived at the Queen's tomb.

"By the way, Your Highness, why was the Empress buried here?"

"I heard it was my mother's choice before she passed away."

"What about the princess's fiefdom?"

"It was given by my father. He hoped that Qingge could stay with my mother, but Qingge's fate is a problem. For safety reasons, she has never come back."

If he were to return, he would probably be exiled to his fiefdom and never be allowed to come back.

Jiang Xianyue suddenly thought of something insidious.

"Any attempt to alter a person's fate through witchcraft requires the sacrifice of a close relative. Doesn't Your Highness seem like one?"

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, Shen Shijing's face turned pale.

"Why not me? I am the Crown Prince, and I am a greater threat to them."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Crown Prince is a descendant of the true dragon and has such powerful luck that even the person who did this was helpless, it would definitely have been the Crown Prince."

"You were lucky to be saved."

Jiang Xianyue spoke as if she were telling a joke.

Shen Shijing was also stunned. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and that his sister had suffered for his sake in vain.

In her previous life, Shen Qingge was even sacrificed.

Shen Shijing's thoughts were somewhat complicated. Jiang Xianyue knew so much, but was she involved in this matter?

He looked at Jiang Xianyue with suspicion.

Jiang Xianyue received such a gaze and met Shen Shijing's eyes again.

"If it were Miss Jiang, would she do such a thing? What if such a formation could help your beloved?"

"Have I had enough of living?"

Jiang Xianyue blurted out those words without thinking.

“What kind of lover can love so much that they can’t help but violate such rules? Master said that if you don’t get involved in cause and effect, you will be punished by harming people in such a vicious way.

Even if it were my own karma, it wouldn't be possible. Otherwise, if I wanted revenge, I could simply return and set up a formation to wipe out all my enemies in one fell swoop, saving me the trouble.

Shen Shijing then thought of how Jiang Xianyue had gone to great lengths for Shen Qinglan in his previous life.

If she were truly capable, she would be able to spot the flaws at a glance; such a thing is indeed despicable.

"Moreover, we should accumulate blessings and virtues. If we can help others, it is all our merit. If the emperor had not summoned me, I would still be happily accumulating merits on Wanggushan."

Jiang Xianyue's tone carried an unspeakable sense of grievance.

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Jiang."

Shen Shijing felt embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort a girl, so all he could do was gently touch Jiang Xianyue.

Jiang Xianyue's gaze finally fell upon the tomb before them. The two of them, hidden in the shadows, had unknowingly arrived at the entrance to the Empress's tomb.

"I saw on my way here that the location of this grave is really bad. Although it looks like it is at the intersection of feng shui, in fact, if it is slightly off, a place of great fortune will become a place of great misfortune."

There are no specific regulations for the empress's tomb. I have never heard of any empress not being buried in the imperial mausoleum.

This matter is not unsolvable; having the Emperor move the Empress's tomb back would resolve everything.

Jiang Xianyue appeared relaxed, but in reality, she couldn't relax at all.

The Empress's tomb has been tampered with; someone nearby has been harming living people and turning them into monsters, and their fury has gathered here. This is to destroy all the Empress's good deeds and implicate Shen Shijing.

If successful, Shen Shijing's luck will also be affected.

Jiang Xian Yue noticed that the purple aura was still leaking out after dealing with the curse.

"The Emperor has made a decision, and the Empress Dowager has been buried for many years. This matter is probably not easy."

"At worst, His Highness the Crown Prince can ask the Qing Kingdom to retrieve the Empress's body. This place is accumulating resentment, and if it stays here, you and the princess will suffer because of it. Although it hasn't happened yet, it's only a matter of time."

Judging from the state of Liuzhou, that day shouldn't be far off.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shijing frowned.

"Does Miss Jiang have a solution?"

Shen Shijing never knew about this in his previous life, because his mother's grave was not in the imperial mausoleum, and he had never come there specifically.

Moreover, in his previous life, Jiang Xian Yue sided with Shen Qing Lan, and he was always preoccupied with his own survival.

Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue in front of him and bowed to her earnestly.

Jiang Xianyue was flattered and quickly waved her hand.

"There are only two ways to resolve this matter. We can only resolve the situation in Liuzhou to prevent it from escalating further. Now that I can see the princess's impending doom and have prevented her from dying here, thus facilitating their plans, we have already taken a step forward."

Next, let's dispel the resentment here so that His Highness the Crown Prince can report back and we can move on to the next step.

"At least while they don't know I'm here, resolving things here as soon as possible is the most important thing."

Jiang Xianyue's gaze turned serious as she spoke to Shen Shijing.
