Chapter 189 Discovery

Chen Mansheng recently felt that his younger brother was very strange.

He doesn't accept visiting cards and doesn't go to any parties.

In the past, she could see that he was very eager to gain a foothold in the capital and seek a place for himself. He could deal with the young masters of noble families and his colleagues in the court with ease and had a good conversation with them.

But now, he seemed like a completely different person. He was not close to her and didn't say anything.

He goes out early and comes back late, and I don’t know what he is busy with.

Chen Mansheng hadn't really tried to find out what he was doing until one day when she accidentally saw blood on Chen Chuo's body.

Blood?

Why is there blood?

Chen Mansheng was horrified.

She didn't know whether Shen Chuo was bullied or had taken a wrong path.

After all, he didn't look injured at all.

For a person to walk on the right path, he needs guidance and good thoughts, but walking on the wrong path can happen in a moment, just a thought.

Besides, Chen Chuo is the kind of person who is both good and evil.

He learns things quickly, everything.

Chen Mansheng calmed herself down. She didn't alert the enemy and secretly observed what Shen Chuo was busy with.

She arranged for someone to follow Shen Chuo, and she went to Shen Chuo's study while he was out.

Chen Mansheng was very good at martial arts and he rushed into the study through the window.

The study was very tidy, with a few brushes placed on the pen holder and a few books on the desk, covered with dust, looking like they hadn't been read for a long time.

But Chen Chuo went into the study almost every day.

Chen Mansheng tried to feel the mechanism, and when he touched a brick, the bookshelf opened.

There really is a dark room.

Chen Mansheng walked into the darkroom and saw a portrait of a woman hanging there in a swaggering manner.

The woman in the painting was none other than her good friend, Princess Tangning.

Although she was shocked by Chen Chuo's thoughts, she was not surprised. Her Royal Highness the Princess was so nice, it was normal for her to like her.

It’s just that there are too many people around the princess, and Chen Chuo’s love can easily end in vain.

Not only the painting, Chen Mansheng also found a locked drawer.

Locking was not a difficult task for her. She had learned a lot of skills when she overturned the case for her family.

The drawer opened, revealing a stack of letters.

Chen Mansheng shuddered at the contents of the letter.

They are all correspondence with Yan Hong.

She remembered Yan Hong, who had kidnapped her and the princess.

How could Shen Chuo be related to him?

The girl's hands were shaking, and what was even more difficult for her to accept was.

Whatever happened to her and the princess before was actually all Shen Chuo's doing.

Shen Chuo had always known about it and even offered advice.

She said, how could Yan Hong, who appeared out of nowhere, know about His Highness's affairs?

Chen Mansheng's heart was pounding, and he was more angry. The prince was not bad to him.

How could he repay kindness with enmity?

It’s not over yet.

Yan Hong was poisoned by the prince and forced to return to Li State to serve the prince.

Yan Hong's life and property depend on the prince, so he strikes a deal with Shen Chuo: Shen Chuo helps him get the antidote, and he helps him find a way to refine the love Gu.

The Li Kingdom is good at refining love Gu, and the method of refining love Gu has always been in the hands of some people, but no one in the Li Kingdom has been able to refine it for hundreds of years. Some people even cannot get the love they want and have devoted their entire lives to refining love Gu, but to no avail.

And the next letter was the method Yan Hong found for him.

As she continued to read, the girl felt a chill running through her entire body from the soles of her feet.

Regardless of the precious medicinal materials, this insect needs human blood to feed.

It needs the love and care of its lovers to feed it every day.

No wonder.

No wonder she saw bloodstains on the corner of Shen Chuo's clothes.

Love is a natural development between men and women. How can one resort to such evil ways to forcibly bind the one you love?

Not to mention that this person is her most important friend in the world!

Chen Mansheng must stop him. She must tell His Highness that she can no longer deceive His Highness's trust and do anything to hurt Him!

Chen Mansheng raised his foot to leave with the letter, but a dark figure suddenly blocked the light.

"Sister." Shen Chuo's expression was cold, and his voice was cold. "Sis, now that you've discovered this, can you help your brother keep it a secret?"

"Shen Chuo!" Chen Mansheng had never been so angry. "Her Highness has been very kind to you, right? How could you take advantage of her trust and hurt her again and again?"

"I didn't hurt His Highness!" Shen Chuo's voice rose and fell as he defended himself, "I just like His Highness too much. I want to be with His Highness. Am I wrong?"

"Is this how you love someone, no matter what it takes?!" Chen Mansheng pinched his heart in his hand, his fingertips turning white.

"Use any means necessary? What's wrong with using any means necessary?"

"When people live in this world, if they want to get something, they should do whatever it takes." Chen Chuo looked at his half-sister, "Chen Mansheng, you don't have to preach these principles to me. I'm not as noble as you."

"I have no bottom line. I will do anything to get what I want!"

"Is this what I want? She doesn't like me and only treats me as a friend. What can I do?"

"I can only try my best to make her fall in love with me." Shen Chuo took it for granted.

Chen Mansheng's pupils widened. How could he say such a thing?

His whole mind has been twisted.

Is that love?

Isn’t loving someone the same as wanting her to be happy and successful in everything?

You can't say that if someone is nice to you and you like her, then she must like you back.

If they don't like you, they will take advantage of your trust and hurt you again and again.

Even though Chen Mansheng was angry, he forced himself to calm down. After adjusting his breathing, he looked at his brother who was related by blood. "Chen Chuo, it's not too late to turn back now. You can't make any more mistakes. Come with me to His Highness and apologize to him. Admit everything you did."

She was giving him a chance to come back.

"Are you still going to report me?" Shen Chuo frowned.

Admit everything?

How is it possible? He has done so many unforgivable things, how could Your Highness possibly forgive him?

Even if His Highness really doesn't pursue the matter for the sake of their friendship and Chen Mansheng, he's finished.

There was no possibility for him and His Highness to be together anymore, they couldn't even be friends.

It would be better to let him die.

"Chen Mansheng, why are you meddling in other people's business? Can't you just pretend you didn't see anything? Just do your job well. I like His Highness so much and I won't hurt him, can't you just let me have my wish? After all, you and I share the same blood."

Chen Mansheng felt a chill in his heart.

This is a plan to go all the way to the end.

Chen Chuo is indeed her only blood relative in this world.

But she chose His Highness.

"No." Chen Mansheng blurted out.

"good."

…

Chen Mansheng disappeared. Less than three days after her disappearance, the princess's mansion sent people all over the city to search for her.

Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Tangning would soon succeed the empress, and everyone knew that she valued Chen Mansheng very much, so many people contributed their manpower and efforts to find him.

Although Chen Mansheng was not found, another case was solved.

Not long ago, several young couples disappeared in the capital. They were all found in a house on the outskirts of the city. I heard that their blood had been taken for many days to make some kind of love poison.

Love Gu is an evil magic, and no one has been able to make it for over a hundred years. It is something that harms people, and failure is inevitable.

Chen Mansheng was not found, and Chen Chuo also disappeared.

Ling Qingyan was extremely anxious.

But on the second day after Shen Chuo disappeared, she received a letter from Shen Chuo.
