Night fell quickly, and the dark night was mysterious and dangerous.

Cangwu Jingyuan stood at the back of the garden, her brows furrowed tightly. She was almost done investigating the case of the Bai family, and she was short of the last perfect evidence to prove who was the killer.

However, it is very difficult to find this evidence, because the most critical file is placed in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, where the guards are tightly guarded, let alone people, it is difficult for even a fly to fly in.

She was very distressed. In fact, her investigation has been going smoothly. If she hadn't arrived at the forbidden area, she would have already found out the results of the investigation.

After thinking about it, she came to the forbidden area. Even at night, the soldiers in armor were clearly visible, because there were torches everywhere, which were extremely bright.

Although it is a secret place, it is extraordinarily high-profile.

Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the forbidden area from afar, frowning deeply, she was thinking about how to get close to it.

No one is allowed to approach the forbidden place within a radius of [-] meters.

Standing there, Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly yelled in surprise, because she saw that the guards in front of the forbidden area suddenly retreated, and the forbidden area was unguarded.

Seeing this, she was pleasantly surprised, and she could take advantage of this gap to go in.Thinking of this, she took big steps towards the forbidden area.

When she came to the door, she realized that there was a big lock hanging on the door. She sighed sadly, so what if she came here by herself, wouldn't she be shut out by a lock?

She picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it, but the lock showed no sign of being opened at all.

Cangwu Jingyuan took a closer look, only to find that the lock was specially forged, let alone a stone, even if it was cut with a sword, it would be useless.

She felt a sense of loss in her heart, was she going to give up the opportunity she finally got.She looked up to see if she could go the other way.

But the forbidden area is like an ancient castle, tightly sealed and there is no other entrance at all.

Cangwu Jingyuan turned around anxiously, if she gave up such a good opportunity, wouldn't she be heartbroken to death.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind, "This is the key, you must come out as soon as possible."

After hearing the voice, Cangwu Jingyuan turned around and saw Shen Chen, who calmly handed over the key in his hand.

"How could it be you?" She asked in surprise, never thinking that he would come to help her at the most critical moment.

Shen Chen explained, "I know what you're going to do, so I'm helping Bai Qian."

Cangwu Jingyuan nodded, "Are you familiar with Bai Qian?" After asking, she felt that she was very bored, and she would ask such a question at such a critical moment, because it was not important at all, but she I just want to know Shen Chen's opinion on Bai Qian.

Shen Chen frowned twice, obviously he felt that such a question was redundant, "I just dismissed the guards temporarily, you have to go and come back quickly, otherwise you may be in danger when you come out."

He didn't answer but told her emphatically, but Cangwu Jingyuan didn't intend to just let Shen Chen go.

"Why are you helping Bai Qian?" She stood still, as if she would not proceed to the next step if he refused to answer.

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm Bai Qian's friend, so I should help her. Friends should help each other, right?"

After listening to the explanation, Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes flashed a puzzled light, she didn't know when Bai Qian made Shen Chen as a friend, it seemed that Bai Qian was still hiding something from her.

She pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction, and walked into the gate. Shen Chen stood at the gate, and after seeing her go in, she hid herself in the nearby woods.

Cangwu Jingyuan ran many flights of stairs before finding a small room. She walked over and saw that the door was not locked, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because there were heavy guards outside, so the inside was much more relaxed, and there were no guards at all.

Cangwu Jingyuan quickly pushed open the door of the small room and walked in. There were several bookshelves in the room, and there were volumes of case files on them. She went over and rummaged through them.

But after searching the entire shelf, she couldn't find the case file of the Bai family. She frowned, thinking that it must have been hidden somewhere else.

It seems that the case of the Bai family is really a secret, otherwise how could it be kept so secret? If the secrets of the whole country are hidden in the forbidden area, then the case of the Bai family must be a secret among secrets.

"Where did the empress hide the files of the Bai family?" Cang Wu Jingyuan murmured to herself suspiciously, scratching the back of her head with her hand.

Suddenly a light flashed in her eyes, and there was a black wooden box lying in the corner, with a copper lock hanging on the wooden box.

Cangwu Jingyuan walked over, clenched his fist and smashed the lock open, then opened the black wooden box, took out the case from inside and looked at it.

There was only one white word written on the cover of the case file, and her heart tightened, thinking that the thing in her hand must be the key to recording the Bai family's case.

She opened the case file and looked at it, the expression on her face became more and more solemn. It turned out that the person who drove the Bai family to extinction was really the queen.

Cangwu Jingyuan put the case in her sleeve and took it out. She knew that now she had mastered everything, and all that was left was to restore the Bai family's innocence.

She came to the gate and disappeared quickly. Shen Chen looked at her disappearing figure, and his frown finally relaxed.

He took advantage of the darkness and hurried to his bedroom. After all, the forbidden place should not be kept for a long time, and he didn't want to add unnecessary trouble to himself.

Cangwu Jingyuan returned to her room, put the case away, and then stared out of the window in a daze. If she had just brought the case in front of the Queen, she wondered what she would say.

She pondered, what was recorded in the case file was the truth, but if the queen asked, trespassing the forbidden area would be considered a capital crime.

At that time, she was afraid that Bai Qian would be implicated by herself. Thinking of this, she pondered again. This matter is of great importance. She must think carefully and find a complete solution.

After a sleepless night, she decided to temporarily keep what she saw on the file a secret, because if she said it rashly, she would not intend to cause trouble to her upper body.

After she finished washing in the morning, Lu He came to report, "Princess, Master Shen is asking to see you."

Hearing that name, Cangwu Jingyuan raised the corners of her mouth with great interest, "He really came to look for me, he is really diligent, he came here so early."

Lu He nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Young Master Shen is really moved this time."

"Okay, then let him wait for me." Cangwu Jingyuan said, Shen Ye is the son of the current general Shen Xiao, maybe I can get useful news from him.

A light flashed in Cangwu Jingyuan's black eyes, but soon the light disappeared. She walked out of the room and came to the small pavilion next to the garden.

After Shen Ye saw her, his face was covered with a smile. He walked closer and said softly, "Fourth princess, you are very beautiful today."

After Cangwu Jingyuan heard it, she felt funny in her heart, the man who used to ignore her, now started to show her courtesy to her.

She sized him up, he was wearing white clothes, the color was simple and elegant, but he had a bit of elegance.

But she will not be fooled by such appearance, because she knows what Shen Ye has done before, and she knows what he is like.

So his attire, in her eyes, is at most like a dog.

"I think the weather is good today, so I specially came here to invite the fourth princess to enjoy the flowers together. I wonder if the fourth princess will appreciate it?" Shen Ye smiled when he spoke.

Cangwu Jingyuan didn't like the smile on his face, so she turned her face away, she would rather look at the delicate flowers blooming in the garden.

"Mr. Shen really has a heart. The flowers bloom just right, and it's a good time to watch them."

After Shen Ye heard it, she felt happy. It seemed that she liked her.

"So the fourth princess agreed, it's really my honor."

The corners of Cangwu Jingyuan's mouth slightly raised a beautiful arc, that smile was soft but yet powerful, as if it was a vigorous pine and cypress standing on the top of the mountains.

"Mr. Shen is the son of a general. I didn't expect that he would be so interesting. I thought you only knew how to lead troops to fight."

When Cangwu Jingyuan was speaking, her eyes kept looking at the sea of ​​flowers in front of her, and there was a fog in her eyes, making it hard to see through.

Shen Ye took her words as admiration for himself, and he was very pleased. He thought that it was because of his outstanding talent that he was fascinated by the fourth princess.

Although he is the son of a general, he has never experienced a real battlefield. General Shen is the only son like him. He is usually very precious. How could he be willing to let him experience the cruelty of war.

"The fourth princess won the award, and I don't know why. When I saw the fourth princess, my whole person seemed to have changed. I didn't understand flirting before, but when I was with the fourth princess, I seemed to suddenly understand girls. Same."

After Cangwu Jingyuan finished listening, thinking of what Shen Ye had done before, her stomach couldn't help but churn.

But she didn't show it well, after all, she couldn't drive Shen Ye away now, because she still wanted to ask him about important things.

"Mr. Shen is humble. I just heard that you are upright and like to help others." Cangwu Jingyuan uttered all the words found in her brain. Since she wants to get information, she must first make Mr. Shen happy. yes.

Sure enough, the smile on Shen Ye's face became even brighter, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he had met a bosom friend, and he even had the feeling of acquaintance.
