The system forced me to be emperor

"Take it away, just pretend I didn't see it, if the prince asks, you guys know how to answer!" Li Xiu'er said in an extremely indifferent tone.

The two men nodded again and again, and the girl also nodded in fright. Then she wrapped it up again and was sent to the study in the back house.

Xiao Rui hid in the dark, watching Li Xiu'er squatting alone in front of the hall, hugging her knees, couldn't help sighing.

What should I do?Should I go forward, or leave?

He also understood that the purpose of the system asking him to come here was to watch this play. Who is that girl?As Xiao Yiheng is a prince, it is not unusual for him to do this kind of thing. Many princes support singers and the like in their mansions.

When Xiao Rui was puzzled, Li Xiuer had packed up her emotions and returned to the living room.

Xiao Rui also went in. He pretended not to know, and asked deliberately: "Huh? What's wrong with sister-in-law's eyes? They're a little red."

Li Xiu'er smiled and said, "It's okay, I just got into the sand and rubbed it."

Xiao Rui deliberately said: "It's getting late, if the second brother doesn't come, then I'll go back first."

"If His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince likes to chat with me, next time send a confidant to tell me. I know a quiet place where I can talk with you." Li Xiuer stared at Xiao Rui with burning eyes.

Xiao Rui understood this time.

Fuck, I'm fighting between cranes and clams, I'm benefiting myself, Li Xiuer is trying to make trouble!

Xiao Rui took a deep look at Li Xiu'er, and by chance, he found a big trick to deal with Xiao Yiheng.

"Okay!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

The two seemed to agree that Xiao Rui left Chu Palace.

Coincidentally, within 10 minutes of Xiao Rui's departure, Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng hurried back.

He was very excited, so he hurried back because the matter with King Linnan was almost handled.Just as soon as he entered the mansion, he was stopped by Princess Li Xiuer.

"King Xian came to look for you just now, but he went back when you were not here." Li Xiu'er took the initiative to talk about it.

Xiao Yiheng frowned and asked, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"

Li Xiu'er said calmly: "He didn't say, it should be the same as yesterday's purpose."

Xiao Yiheng didn't take it seriously, and said: "I see, it's getting late, you should go to bed earlier, I have a big event today, so I have to stay in the study. Don't bother me!"

After finishing speaking, he walked past Li Xiu'er.

Li Xiu'er watched Xiao Yiheng's hurried back with hatred in her eyes.

Chapter 154: The Girl's Death (Part 7)

Xiao Rui sat in the carriage thinking about something.

Before leaving, Li Xiuer's words still lingered in Xiao Rui's mind.

Xiao Rui didn't dare to mess around, let alone Xiao Yiheng's princess, so he couldn't provoke Li Xiu'er unless it was absolutely necessary!

It seems that this woman dares to do anything when she is crazy, but this also gave Xiao Rui a great opportunity to deal with Xiao Yiheng.

In addition, the system did not let me watch this play for no reason, it must have its deep meaning, and it was definitely causing trouble for myself.

Soon, back home.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage, and said to Wu Zhanfa: "You work hard at night, and keep an eye on Chu Palace for me! I suspect that something will happen at night! Adapt to the situation!"

Wu Zhanfa said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, leave this matter to the villain."

Xiao Rui nodded and entered the mansion.

After a while, because I'm taking a rest today, I don't have to get up early to go to court.Xiao Rui thought he could sleep late, but Wu Zhanfa came back in the early hours of the morning and knocked on the door hastily.

Xiao Rui was awakened, and when he heard that it was Wu Zhanfa asking for an interview, he immediately thought that it was something about Chu Wangfu, so he quickly put on a coat and went to see Wu Zhanfa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Wu Zhanfa's whole body was wet, he seemed to be fished out of the water, and the top of his head was still steaming. Xiao Rui hurriedly asked someone to prepare hot tea and brought a towel.

"You were asked to monitor Chu Palace, did you go on a night tour?" Xiao Rui joked.

Wu Zhanfa chuckled, and then said: "His Royal Highness, there was movement in the Prince Chu's mansion just after arriving at Yinshi!"

After taking a sip of hot tea, he continued: "I found two men came out carrying a quilt, sneaking around. They came to the west moat of the city and threw the quilt down. So I went into the water, picked up the quilt, It turned out to be a naked girl inside, the girl was already dead, strangled to death, and raped before she died. And there were stones in the quilt, probably trying to sink her body!"

"What?" Xiao Rui stood up suddenly with a look of surprise.

What is certain is that the girl who died tragically must have been the girl who was sent to Chu Palace last night. Only a few hours later, she was actually strangled to death and then thrown her body into the water.

Could it be Xiao Yiheng's doing?

Wu Zhanfa said: "I hid the body beside the moat, I didn't know what to do with it, so I hurried back."

Xiao Rui paced around the room, and finally understood the real intention of the system to let him go to Chu Palace. It turned out that going to the theater was secondary, and the business was here.An innocent girl died tragically, what should I do?

Pretend not to know?

Or expose the murderer for the girl?

Once you want to intervene in this matter, you must fight Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Rui sighed, and sent someone to invite the sleeping Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu arrived, after listening to the whole story and knowing Xiao Rui's hesitation, Jia Xu said, "Your Highness, can't you make a decision?"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "According to my character, since I know about this matter, I must investigate to the end, and repay the innocent girl's grievances. But considering the competition for the crown prince, now that I have a bad relationship with Xiao Yiheng, it has nothing to do with our plan. Conflict. Xiao Yiheng's power is far greater than Xiao Yuan's, and it is almost impossible to bring him down, let alone avenge the dead."

One side is his own principles of life, and the other side is his own great cause.

But Jia Xu smiled: "Your Highness didn't deal with Xiao Yiheng fieryly, nor did he treat the girl's death coldly as normal. I'm very pleased. Thinking back and forth is the habit we should have when doing big things, and we can't let our emotions determine our habits. But in my opinion, we shouldn't be enemies with Xiao Yiheng. The girl's death should be handed over to Ying Tianfu, and they will investigate. As for whether the deceased can be returned innocent, that is Ying Tianfu's business. There are so many grievances, it is impossible for us to pursue something regardless of the consequences. However, my suggestion is just a suggestion, Your Highness, you are the one who decides."

Xiao Rui smiled wryly: "If this matter is handed over to Ying Tianfu, how can they find Xiao Yiheng by their means? Even if they find out, do you dare to investigate further? In the end, the tragic death of the girl is still nothing."

"That's why Your Highness wants to participate!" Jia Xu affirmed.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "That's right!"

Jia Xu looked deeply at Xiao Rui, not disappointed, but relieved.

"Your Highness, people's shortcomings can be corrected, but their weaknesses are difficult to correct. Do you know what your shortcomings are, and what are your weaknesses?" Jia Xu suddenly asked this sentence.

Xiao Rui was stunned, shook his head, and said: "As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp, I don't know it myself. Mister must have seen it clearly."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Weaknesses mostly refer to character. For example, Your Highness's shortcoming is kindness, which lacks the ruthlessness of those in power. Weaknesses refer to personality. As for the weakness of His Highness's personality, it is best for His Highness to figure it out."
