After rebirth and breaking off the engagement, I supported the new king to ascend to the throne

Mrs. Wei quickly took over the conversation, "I will definitely not deceive the prince!"

"Okay! Then I will believe you!" Ye Xuanchen stood up and wanted to follow the Wei family to find the secret room in person.

But Shen Chenbi grabbed him by the corner of his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to go together."

Ye Xuanchen didn't want her to take risks, but when his eyes touched her anxious face, he couldn't help but soften a little, "Okay!"

Fortunately, Wei didn't lie to them.

The facts turned out to be as Wei said, there really was a secret passage in the Yao Mansion, but the secret of the secret passage was not found when they searched.

The two found the dying Chen Yue in the secret passage and quickly rescued him.

As soon as a few people came out of the secret passage, a black figure rushed straight towards Chen Yue.

Ye Xuanchen flicked his sleeves to block the hidden guard, drew out the guard's sword, and started fighting with the black figure.

It was obvious that the man was no match for Ye Xuanchen. After a dozen moves, he was stabbed in the heart by Ye Xuanchen's sword.

At the same time, a cry came from outside, "The water has escaped! The water has escaped!"

The guards behind Ye Xuanchen quickly followed to put out the fire.

Shen Chenbi and Chen Yue were also sent out of Yao Mansion first by Ye Xuanchen.

Wei, who was originally following Ye Xuanchen, disappeared now.

Two hours later, the fire was completely extinguished, but by this time the Yao Mansion was already burned to a great extent.

The guards lifted three corpses out of the ashes.

One of them was one large and one small, and judging from their body shapes, they were Mr. Wei and the son she mentioned.

As for the other body, the guards said it was taken out of the room where Yao Wenqing was detained.

"Is he dead?" Shen Chenbi frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Xuanchen stepped forward and rubbed the ashes on the corpse with his hands, revealing the unburnt bones.

"This is not Yao Wenqing." Ye Xuanchen said firmly with cold eyes.

Ying Yi couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, "But we haven't seen Master Yao among the surviving people!"

"How did the prince determine that the body was not his?" Shen Chenbi was also a little confused.

Ye Xuanchen analyzed it logically, "Yao Wenqing is a civil servant, so he doesn't know martial arts. He is used to pampering himself and is protected by guards when he goes out. And although this corpse was burned with only bones left, its body shape is similar to that of Yao Wenqing. They are very similar, but there are many broken marks on his bones, as if he had been seriously injured by a sword or something, so the owner of this corpse should be a martial arts practitioner."

After saying that, everyone fell into deep thought.

In this case, Yao Wenqing must have noticed something, so he set the Yao Mansion on fire and a golden cicada escaped from its shell.

"Since the Yao Mansion has been burned down, take all the things from the Yao Mansion back!" Ye Xuanchen gave the order with a cold face.

The fire in Yao Mansion was very fierce. Some of the account books in the study were burned to ashes. Now all the clues are broken.

When Ye Xuanchen was at a loss what to do, Shen Chenbi seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed, and he said a name, "Zheng Rong! Does the prince know about Zheng Rong?"

"Liuzhou Governor Zheng Rong?" Ye Xuanchen frowned, not knowing what Shen Chenbi meant by mentioning him at this time.

In the previous life, although the two were openly hostile to each other, they had always been in contact secretly, so Shen Chenbi guessed that the relationship between the two was anything but ordinary. Since the clues on Yao Wenqing's side were broken, he started with Zheng Rong.

Shen Chenbi nodded, "Yes, the prince can check Zheng Rong, and there may be unexpected gains."

Ye Xuanchen believed deeply in what Shen Chenbi said and immediately sent someone to secretly investigate the news.

After all, she is the future Princess Chu. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and Shen Chenbi will not harm him.

Soon, Ye Xuanchen received the information sent back.

On the surface, the two did have a tit-for-tat relationship. Zheng Rong even framed Yao Wenqing many times, and Yao Wenqing also held a grudge. The two often fought to the death.

However, the two did have contact in private and had many separate appointments.

"They are actually in the same group!" After Ye Xuanchen read the letter, he tapped his fingers on the table as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

If Shen Chenbi hadn't mentioned this matter today, he probably wouldn't have thought of investigating Zheng Rong.

Suddenly, Ye Xuanchen looked at Shen Chenbi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Do you know that Yao Wenqing and Zheng Rong are in the same group?"

Shen Chenbi shook his head.

"Then why do you want me to check on Zheng Rong? What do you know?" Ye Xuanchen refused to give up and continued to ask.

She knew it from the memory of her previous life, but it was impossible for her to tell Ye Xuanchen these words, not to mention whether Ye Xuanchen believed it or not. Even if Ye Xuanchen believed it, she was unwilling to reveal too much.

"It's dad. Dad accidentally mentioned this to me before he was alive. At that time, I just thought the way they got along was strange, so I didn't think much about it. I just happened to think about it today." Shen Chenbi blamed the matter on his late father. On the head.

Even if Ye Xuanchen wanted to obtain evidence, he might not be able to do so, so there would be no reason to continue to doubt him.

Ye Xuanchen stared at her with dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, "Really? Duke Shen actually told you this?"

"Yes! Daddy always liked to tell me some things about the court, but I was always thinking about having fun before and never took daddy's words to heart. Now I feel regretful when I think about it. If I had listened carefully, I wouldn't have I have failed to live up to my father’s hard work.”

As he spoke, Shen Chenbi's eyes began to cry again.

"It doesn't matter. You will still have me in the future. You can tell me whatever you have on your mind. I am willing to listen to whatever you can and cannot talk about." Ye Xuanchen's words have already made it very obvious.

Shen Chenbi's hands hidden in his sleeves secretly clenched, but there was a hint of gratitude on his face, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has saved Xu'er from fire and water many times. Xu'er must have known everything about Your Majesty." .”

She believed that Ye Xuanchen was really doing her best, but her rebirth was not a trivial matter, and she could not tell anyone, not even her personal maid Biyun, who was a brother-in-law with her.

Ye Xuanchen's palace is so deep that she still can't see through it. Although she can feel a trace of tenderness in him, it reminds her that Ye Xuanchen in his previous life actually killed the queen and the prince for her, and chose to live and die with her. .

But for now, it seems that there is only a trace of this feeling, and Shen Chenbi's heart suddenly rises, fearing that Ye Xuanchen will ask again.

But she was overly worried. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Ye Xuanchen didn't ask any more questions, "That's good. You've been running around and rescuing people these past few days. You're really tired. Go and have a rest!"

Shen Chenbi nodded and was led by Biyun to retreat.

On the other side, after hearing that the Yao Mansion was on fire, Zheng Rong walked around the study room uneasily, always feeling that he would be found out next.

But when I think about it, no one should doubt that the two of them are usually very close to each other.

The two contradictory emotions kept recurring, making Zheng Rong feel very tormented.
