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

Chu Huanyan's heart felt like it was being grabbed hard, and tears had already filled her cheeks before she knew it.

It wasn't until the handwriting in front of her eyes was wet with tears and smudged that she suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve.

"Miss..." Although Xianyue didn't know what was written in the letter, seeing Chu Huanyan's appearance, she hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.

Chu Huanyan took the handkerchief, carefully wiped away the tears on the letter paper, stared at the ink stains and murmured: "What happened back then..."

"Back then, Marquis Ning'an and his wife went out of the city in the middle of the night, but they encountered bandits. Originally, they were able to break out of the siege with the help of Marquis Ning'an's martial arts, but they happened to encounter a mountain landslide, and both Marquis Ning'an and his wife... were buried He died under the rocks and soil." Xiao Jinzhi paused and added softly, "This is the obvious conclusion."

But now it seems that there may be another hidden reason behind this matter.

"That's the news I got at the time. Although I was wondering why my parents left the city in the middle of the night and happened to encounter bandits and landslides so coincidentally, everyone told me that it was just an accident, so I believed it. But... …”

Chu Huanyan stared at the letter in her hand.

If it was really just an accident, why would my parents leave this box and the letter and give such instructions in the letter, unless they had expected something would happen.

If that's the case, it means that the death of my father and mother was not an accident at all. It is very likely that someone did it secretly, and my father and mother were aware of it, so they arranged a way out for themselves in advance.

But who is it, and why did he attack his parents? Also, since his parents noticed something was wrong, why didn't they send out any news or even mention it in this letter?

Countless questions suddenly surged into Chu Huanyan's mind, each pointing to one thing...

My parents were probably killed!

In fact, they had no way to deliver news to themselves at that time, and even the jade pendant could only be entrusted to the Lin family.

Looking back into the box, there was only one sachet left in it.

Chu Huanyan picked up the sachet, which was made of lake blue fabric with large lotus flowers embroidered on it.

Chu Huanyan was not familiar with this embroidery work, so she could only confirm that it was not made by her mother. After opening it, there was nothing inside except minced spices.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the sachet and frowned slightly, "This embroiderer looks familiar."

Chu Huanyan immediately looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Have you seen His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Jinzhi took the sachet and looked at it carefully, "This embroidery technique seems to have come from the palace."

"Did your parents get it from the palace?" Chu Huanyan took back the sachet, "But this sachet doesn't look special. If it's just an ordinary sachet, why is it placed in this box? .”

"Is it possible that I put some insect-repelling spices because I was worried about insects?" Yun Chen asked.

"According to my parents' expectations, the Lin family would directly hand over the jade pendant to me, and I might have opened the box early, so why would I need insect-proof spices." Chu Huanyan subconsciously felt that this was not the case, but decided to test it. , "Crescent Moon, find a doctor..."

Chu Huanyan suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Before the truth about the box is found out, it is best not to leak it out. If someone really did it secretly back then, it might be possible to alert the snake.

Although it was nothing important to just find a doctor to check the spices, Xiao Jinzhi and Qin Li both saw it.

"Don't worry, Miss Chu, what happened today will not be leaked." Xiao Jinzhi looked clear and serious.

"My subordinates will never do it either." Qin Li also spoke quickly.

"Thank you." Chu Huanyan nodded and was about to find the doctor again, but Xiao Jinzhi had already taken the sachet in her hand again.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can tell the difference."

Xiao Jinzhi took out the ground spices inside, smelled them carefully, and examined them carefully.

"Angelica dahurica, clove, perilla leaf, and probably citron. Although it is old, there is nothing wrong with it. These are not specialized insect repellent formulas."

Chu Huanyan frowned, "They are all very common spices."

As a result, this sachet looks even more strange in this box.

"Your Highness..." Qin Li looked at the sachet with hesitation.

"What did you find?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

Qin Li shook his head, "It's not really a discovery, but His Highness just said that the embroidery work seems to have come from the palace, and the spices in it seem to be commonly used in the sachets of the ladies in the palace."

"I don't know this, can you be sure?"

"Probably, there are rules in the palace. The sachets worn by the palace ladies must comply with certain specifications. You can do the embroidery on the sachets yourself, but the spices in them are basically the same, and the palace ladies can only take them. to these.”

"Why is Guard Qin so clear?" Xianyue asked subconsciously.

"This..." Qin Li rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "When I lived with His Highness in the palace before, I received some, so I remembered them."

"I don't know, but you are doing well." Xiao Jinzhi chuckled.

Xianyue couldn't help but frown.

Not only did he want to harm the young lady, but he also acted like a playboy. This Qin guard was indeed not a good person.

"Your Highness, please don't make fun of your subordinates. They haven't taken any of them." Qin Li spoke immediately. He caught a glimpse of Xian Yue looking at him from the corner of his eye. When he turned his head to look over, he happened to meet the other person's disgusted expression.

Qin Li was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what was going on, Xian Yue had already retracted her gaze and no longer looked at him.

"It seems that this sachet is most likely from the palace." Chu Huanyan frowned in thought.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her, "Do you want to go to the palace to investigate?"

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment, folded the letter carefully, and put it back into the box along with the banknote and the sachet. As for the jade plaque, he carefully put it into his sleeve.

Since the sachet is related to the palace, it is natural to go to the palace.

But before that, she had to meet two people.

……

In one day, I went to the Dali Temple prison twice.

But this time, Chu Huanyan's mood was completely different from before.

After arranging the crescent moon treatment, she went straight outside Chu Ziyuan's cell.

In the cell, Chu Ziyuan was lying on a simple bed with unkempt hair and a disheveled face. He almost looked like a beggar.

Because of the arrangements of "Wang Qi", his life in this prison was really difficult during this period of time.

Hearing the footsteps outside the cell, he didn't even bother to turn his head. He just said gloomily and resentfully: "If you have the ability, beat me to death. Otherwise, if I get out, I won't make it easy for you!"

Chu Huanyan looked at Chu Ziyuan through the cell door, and after a moment she said, "It's me."
