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

As soon as she entered the other courtyard, Princess Rongchang immediately frowned and covered her mouth and nose in disgust.

After all, no one has lived in it for many years, and it hasn't rained in the past few days, so there is a lot of dust in the yard.

Chu Huanyan stood behind Princess Rongchang, looking at the layout of the surrounding courtyard. It was the same as what she saw that night, except that it looked clearly clearer in the daytime, especially the dust and fallen leaves on the ground.

On the corridor next to it, there were many withered leaves and thick dust accumulated.

Chu Huanyan looked carefully and found that the dust on the right side of the corridor was slightly less, and there seemed to be some footprints left.

And which direction does the footprint lead to?

Chu Huanyan's thoughts moved and she said to Xian Yue who came in behind her.

"This yard is really dirty. Please help Her Royal Highness to search carefully. If you can find any evidence, report it to Her Royal Highness immediately."

After saying that, Chu Huanyan said to Princess Rongchang again.

"Your Highness, why don't we search separately? This way we won't have to stay in the courtyard for too long and make things difficult for the guards at the door."

Princess Rongchang glanced at Chu Huanyan and just thought that the other party was worried about barging in. If time went by, it would have consequences if things got serious.

He didn't say much, just nodded his head lukewarmly, and then began to instruct the few accompanying boys to search around to see if there was any evidence.

Chu Huanyan walked slowly along the direction of the footprints on the corridor, looking around as she walked, and it seemed that she was indeed searching seriously.

At the corner of the corridor, from an angle invisible to Princess Rongchang, Chu Huanyan followed the footprints into the study.

This house has been vacant for too long, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated in the study.

Even the inkstone on the table was covered in dust.

Chu Huanyan carefully looked at the things in the room. Dust accumulated on each one, and it looked like no one had touched it at all.

Could it be that she was overthinking it? The things in the study looked like they had not been touched at all. If Jiang Zhou really took something, it stands to reason that there would be some traces left behind.

Chu Huanyan stood in the room, frowning and thinking for a moment, then carefully checked under the desk and some tables, but still found nothing.

If no one has touched the things, then maybe Jiang Zhou really didn't take anything from here. But since he didn't take anything away, he still came in... Could it be that he came here to hide something?

Chu Huanyan frowned more and more, and her eyes swept around her little by little, from the items on the table to the ornaments on the counter, to the dusty book on the bookshelf... …

Finally, her eyes rested on a pottery xun.

The pottery xun and several flutes were placed together on the right side of the bookshelf. They were also covered with dust and seemed to have nothing special at first glance.

However, Chu Huanyan noticed with sharp eyes that the dust on the shelf under the Tao Xun seemed to be thicker than elsewhere.

Chu Huanyan stepped forward and examined it carefully, and then discovered that the dust on the pottery xun looked more like it had been deliberately sprinkled on it later.

Her heartbeat accelerated slightly. Chu Huanyan looked back in the direction of the study door. After making sure that no one was there, she took off the pottery xun and examined it carefully. Through the hole, she found that there seemed to be something hidden inside.

He tried and fell down. But he couldn't take it out, so he pulled off the hairpin on his head and picked out the contents.

It was a very tightly rolled piece of paper, tied together with a small bamboo tube. Before Chu Huanyan had time to check the contents, she heard footsteps and the voice of Princess Rongchang talking from outside the study.

She quickly put the things into her sleeves and put the Tao Xun in place. Before she could cover it with dust, Princess Rongchang had already walked to the door.

"Did you find anything?"

"No." Chu Huanyan calmed down, shook her head indifferently, and took the flute off the shelf, "But this flute looks good and the workmanship is exquisite. Although it is old, it can be seen that it must have been played by Jiang in previous years. My family often plays with it.”

"It's just a flute. No matter how exquisite it is, it's of no use." Princess Rongchang said impatiently, "This yard has been vacant for many years, and no clues have been found."

"In that case, it's better for us to leave quickly, lest we stay too long and the Yamen will be unhappy."

As Chu Huanyan spoke, she put the flute back on the shelf, but she "accidentally" bumped into the Tao Xun next to her. The Tao Xun fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The fingerprints left on it when she took it out just now could not be seen clearly. .

"I'm really sorry, my servant was careless." Chu Huanyan frowned and said apologetically.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a xun. What's more, this yard does not belong to my princess. If it falls, it will fall." Princess Rongchang said nonchalantly.

Then, the boys who were looking around came to report one after another, but they still didn't find any useful clues or anything strange.

Princess Rongchang's patience ran out and she quickly decided to leave without continuing her search.

Chu Huanyan followed her out of the Jiang family courtyard. Along the way, Princess Rongchang's face looked ugly, and she was obviously more and more displeased because of the wasted trip.

Chu Huanyan didn't ask for trouble, she just sat silently and didn't say anything.

When she was still one street away from Rong'an Hou's mansion, Princess Rongchang had her carriage stopped.

"The road ahead will not be smooth, and I will not see you off anymore."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Chu Huanyan got out of the carriage, watched the carriage leave, and took Xian Yue back to the Hou Mansion.

After returning to the courtyard and closing the door, Chu Huanyan took out the things she found.

When I opened the rolled note, I found that the handwriting on it was blurry and I could no longer see clearly what was written. When the small bamboo tube was opened, it contained white powder. Although I didn't know what it was, these two things matched the evidence Jiang Zhou said.

"Miss, I can't see anything clearly on this note." Xian Yue looked at the note with regret on her face, "It's a pity that so much effort has been spent."

Chu Huanyan also stared at the yellowed and blurry note in her hand. The handwriting on the paper was blurry and could not be used as evidence. If only the powder was left, the strength would be compromised.

As for the medicinal powder, Shen Chi still needs to see if it can really cause the late emperor's symptoms.

"You ask someone to bring this..." Chu Huanyan was about to hand the small bamboo tube in her hand to Xian Yue and ask her to send someone to the Prince's Mansion so that Shen Chi could check it carefully, when her eyes fell on the small bamboo tube. There was a sudden pause.

"wrong!"

In an instant, Chu Huanyan’s expression changed drastically!
