After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chu Huanyan met Princess Rongchang's gaze and smiled openly.

"Princess, you are joking. There is no enmity between you and me. Moreover, you are the elder of His Highness the Crown Prince. No matter in terms of status or reason, as long as Her Highness the Princess is willing to live in peace, it is naturally impossible for me to cause trouble on my own initiative."

After looking at Chu Huanyan again, and seeing that her expression didn't look like she was lying, Princess Rongchang nodded, "Since Miss Chu has said so, let's go together. It just so happens that I also have something to remind Miss Chu. ."

"Yes, princess please."

The two of them walked towards the steps together. There were many noble ladies from aristocratic families who came to offer incense. After recognizing Princess Rongchang, those who were close to her stepped forward and bowed, then quietly fell behind.

Those who were far away pretended not to see her, as if they were afraid of getting involved with Princess Rongchang and affecting their reputation.

Princess Rongchang looked at this situation with cold eyes and gave a mocking smile, "If Miss Chu regrets it now, she can still keep a distance from me. If you and I really go up the mountain together, I'm afraid this matter will soon be over." It will spread, and if your reputation is affected by that time, I will not be responsible for it."

"Thank you for your kindness, princess, but my daughter's reputation has never been very good."

"Ha." Princess Rongchang laughed, "Miss Chu, why should you be too modest? If you have a bad reputation, why would there be so many people interceding on your behalf?"

Chu Huanyan didn't mind Princess Rongchang's attitude and just smiled, "That's just among the common people, and it's only recently. Before that, in the eyes of these noble ladies, the courtier was a public figure, full of merchant spirit. , It is difficult to reach the level of elegance."

Princess Rongchang stopped and looked at Chu Huanyan, "You don't mind?"

"Why do you mind? After all, running a store is more important to me than their discussions." Chu Huanyan also stopped and looked at Princess Rongchang, "Just like for the princess, her own happiness is not as good as before. The opinions of others are more important.”

"That makes sense." Princess Rongchang nodded and looked at Chu Huanyan carefully again. "It's a pity. If it hadn't been for Lin Zeyuan's incident, I might have wanted to make friends with you."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

Princess Rongchang looked at Chu Huanyan more and more curiously, "I thought you would say that even if Lin Zeyuan's incident happened, you would be willing to make friends with me or repair the relationship."

"My daughter has no intention of making friends with the princess, and the princess has indeed plotted against her before. Although she has never thought of revenge, there is no need to be friends." Chu Huanyan said calmly, "After all, my daughter He doesn’t have such a broad mind.”

"Oh, that's interesting. Then why did you come here specifically to see me and go with me today?"

"To reassure Her Royal Highness, Lin Zeyuan's matter is over. No matter why he died, I will not be curious, let alone let anyone investigate." Chu Huanyan paused, "I want to remind you, Princess. That’s exactly what happened.”

She indeed had no intention of becoming friends with Princess Rongchang, and there was no need for them to be friends, as long as they were not enemies.

Princess Rongchang stopped smiling and looked at Chu Huanyan seriously for a while before she looked away and continued walking up the steps.

"I understand, and you can rest assured that as long as you don't provoke me in the future, I will never make things difficult for you again."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Chu Huanyan responded.

The two of them said nothing and walked all the way to the temple halfway up the mountain. Princess Rongchang went in to offer incense, while Chu Huanyan went around to the back mountain of the temple to enjoy the scenery.

Not long after, Jiang Zhou arrived.

"The appointment is at the foot of the mountain, why do you have to show up in front of Princess Rongchang." Jiang Zhou said with a frown.

He had already planned to pretend to be injured when he got off the carriage, and then wait for the princess at the foot of the mountain. Find a secluded place to meet Chu Huanyan. Unexpectedly, the other party actually stepped forward and offered to go up the mountain with Princess Rongchang.

"Have you been to the Jiang Family Courtyard?" Chu Huanyan looked at Jiang Zhou and asked directly.

The latter was stunned, "How do you know?"

After saying that, he quickly showed a look of understanding.

"I thought I had gotten rid of all the people in the dark, but I didn't expect you to follow me."

"The people we sent were indeed dumped by you. It was only later that I asked someone to investigate and confirmed that the tea house next to the Jiang family's former courtyard." Chu Huanyan explained, "But, more importantly, there may be something outside the courtyard. There are others watching.”

Jiang Zhou's expression suddenly changed, "Whose person?"

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I don't know. When I sent people to investigate again, nothing was found. There is even no way to determine whether someone is really hiding in the dark. But just in case, you It’s best not to have any more solo actions next time.”

This was also the reason why she took the initiative to walk over instead of hiding at the foot of the mountain.

There are many pilgrims coming and going in this temple, and there are also people from Princess Rongchang's mansion. Even if someone is really targeting Jiang Zhou, they will not act rashly.

It is much safer inside this temple than at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Zhou frowned deeply, "According to what you said, maybe it was just a mistake. It has been so many years. That place is just a separate courtyard of the Jiang family. There should be no one guarding it."

"I hope so." Chu Huanyan nodded, did not continue the topic, and asked instead, "So have you thought about it?"

Jiang Zhou took a deep breath and said, "If you think about it, I can hand over the evidence to you."

"What evidence?"

Jiang Zhou looked at Chu Huanyan, "How much do you know about what happened back then?"

"Almost all the truth is known. What is missing now is evidence."

"Then you know who did it back then..." Jiang Zhou paused mid-sentence.

Chu Huanyan said silently: Your Majesty.

Jiang Zhou trembled and lowered his eyes, "As expected, you know. I have two pieces of evidence in my hand. One is the confession written by my grandfather, and the other is the poison that the emperor... was given to my grandfather by that person, and the written Although there is no signature on the letter that explains how to use it, these two things are enough for you to cause an uproar."

Chu Huanyan thought about it, and it seemed that Imperial Physician Jiang had indeed saved some tricks back then.

"So you went to another hospital to get another piece of evidence?"

"Yes, my grandfather told me carefully before he died about the location of the other courtyard and the hiding place of the things. He hid it very cleverly, and no matter how many times others searched, they would not be able to find it. Perhaps, he also hoped that if there was a chance, The truth can be made public." Jiang Zhou spoke softly.

It's just that over the years, he has been hiding around, always keeping this matter in mind, but he has never made up his mind, until this time...

"What about your conditions?" Chu Huanyan looked at Jiang Zhou, "Do you have any conditions for handing over the evidence?"

"Have!"
