Shen Heng transmigrated into the unknown original wife of Xie Jian, the top treacherous prime minister in history (a fictional world), and moreover, she was on the road eloping with someone: moment...
"You remember everything?" The forest was dark. Lu Ji'an and Chen Heng did not return by the original route, but chose another one. Because they were not walking, they walked slowly.
"Remember." These words, in her time, many young people also had this as their aspirations. When her blood boiled, cough cough, she also thought so.
Lu Ji'an smiled and said, "It's rare."
"Sir, I just saw that Brother Yu Wei was wearing the same clothes as me. Did you guys already make arrangements for this?"
"The people behind the scenes have framed me several times, so I simply set a trap. I didn't expect you to barge in at noon. They wanted to use you to lure me out of the city, so I played along." Lu Ji'an said calmly, "I guess there will be an interesting change in the court tomorrow."
Framed several times? Looking at the calm and composed man in front of her, Chen Heng could imagine the danger he was in: "Sir, do you usually make enemies with others?"
"This is my first time serving in the imperial capital."
The two walked one after the other, and Shen Heng was thinking about something in her mind. Considering Lord Lu's character, perhaps he was too upright and would offend many people, but this would probably only happen when he was serving in other counties.
"Could it be that those who have been offended by the adults are seeking revenge?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Shen Heng thought for a moment and then asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Sir, is it because you are helping Ajian investigate his father's case that those people want to frame you and put you to death?"
Lu Ji'an paused.
Chen Heng was not careful and almost bumped into him.
"What makes you think that?"
In front of those she trusted, Chen Heng didn't shy away from saying, "The fact that the lord was able to be transferred back to the imperial capital so easily shows that he has connections up there. Why has such a relationship never been broken up with so many people? Yet, he was transferred back to the imperial capital after meeting Ah Jian."
There was another reason. The principal of Nanqi Academy disliked Xie Jian very much. At that time, Xie Jian was forced to drop out because the principal wanted to save the academy, but Chen Heng felt that his later dislike was due to personal emotions.
When the two things were linked together, Chen Heng had the answer in her heart.
Comparing the two reasons, the previous reason of being retaliated against for offending many people is no longer valid. The fact that Lu Ji'an was transferred from such a faraway Yuzhou to the imperial city shows that his relationship is much more powerful.
Lu Ji'an looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. From the beginning, he had the impression that Shen Heng was a little special. She was smarter than ordinary women, but he didn't expect her to be so sharp. From this, he could also hear that A Jian had not hidden many things from her.
"As for Ajian's father, there is still no clue in the case." But one thing is certain, the person behind the scenes is powerful and influential. Lu Ji'an has a suspicion in his mind, but he is not sure yet.
Having said that, Shen Heng didn't expect that she was right.
Just as the two were about to walk out of the forest, Gu Feng's voice rang out: "Sir." As soon as the words fell, a person walked out from the other side of the jungle.
"Brother Gu Feng, are you bleeding?" Shen Heng saw a large wet spot on Gu Feng's arm, but because of the dark color of his clothes and the fact that they were in the woods, she couldn't tell whether he was bleeding or not.
"It's just a minor injury. It's nothing serious. I'll prepare a carriage." Gu Feng said, and took the two of them away by another route.
Only then did Chen Heng realize that Gu Feng, Xie Jian and others had actually dug a secret passage from the imperial capital to the outside of the city.
At this time, they were entering the city through a secret passage.
"This was thought up by Ajian. I didn't expect it to be used on such a big stage." Gu Feng laughed. This kid is smart, resourceful, cruel, and has a back-end that adults don't have.
