Princess Yi Yang knew that she was unhappy because of Miss Lan, and she felt very distressed, but she didn't know what to say to persuade her.
She hoped that the little girl would never have to deal with such intrigues in her life.
During the lunch break, Lu Seyan came limping over to express her gratitude solemnly.
Because of the strained relationship between them, no one welcomed her.
She felt bored, and just as she was about to leave, Xia Zhiliao called her.
Lu Seyan was a little surprised.
"Let's go over there and talk."
Lu Seyan looked at her suspiciously, but still followed her to the side.
"What do you want to ask?" Lu Seyan asked.
"I just want to know if Miss Lan's death has anything to do with you?"
Lu Seyan frowned, "What does her death have to do with me?"
Xia Zhiliao looked at her steadily, "Why did you disappear that day?"
"I……"
"I want to hear the truth."
Lu Seyan looked at the little girl in front of her, "Anyway, I am also very sad about Miss Lan's death, but it has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, she left resolutely.
Xia Zhiliao knew that his guess was correct, Lu Seyan must know something.
When Xia Zhiliao returned to her family, Wen Heng was also there, and she was not surprised.
Wen Heng looked in the direction Lu Seyan left, pondered for a while, but said nothing.
"We can arrive at the paddock at noon tomorrow." Wen Heng spoke after a long time, but the topic was irrelevant.
Xia Zhiliao, who should have been excited, still had a gloom in her heart. She nodded, seeming to have no interest.
Wen Heng touched her head and said, "I just saw a rabbit. I'll catch one for you later. Would you like to roast it?"
Xia Zhiliao smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
"I'll go too, and see who among us catches it first." Xia Hai said.
Several people came back soon and caught two. Xia Zhiliao brought some barbecue ingredients. After all, they came to hunt to eat barbecue, so how could she not prepare anything?
However, when she saw several people from the Lan family chatting and laughing, with no sadness at all for the death of their loved ones, she still felt indescribable feelings in her heart.
She can't interfere in other people's affairs.
"You are hiding here to eat delicious food again." Wen Chaowen asked and rushed over.
Xia Zhiliao glared at him, "What do you mean by hiding? Let's do it openly and honestly, put down the rabbit leg."
"Don't be so stingy. The rabbit has so many legs. I'll only eat one. Yes, the food here is much better than what the royal chef makes."
Xia Zhiliao’s barbecue ingredients worked, and fresh rabbit meat is delicious. The smell was so appetizing that even the emperor sent people to inquire about it.
No matter how dissatisfied Xia Zhiliao was, he still tried to save face by asking the eunuch to bring half a rabbit to Emperor Shunde.
The rest was enough for them to eat.
It has to be said that Xia Zhiliao is back in the spotlight again.
But she didn't care.
"Why aren't you talking anymore? You were always chattering before." Wen Chao asked while chewing.
"Ninth Prince, my sister is sad because of Miss Lan's matter."
"Why are you sad? Do you know her?"
Xia Zhiliao glanced at Wen Chao and shook his head, "I don't know him, but I'm just sad."
"Oh, that's right, the person is dead, you are still too kind."
Xia Zhiliao always felt that in the mouths of the royal family, the word "kindness" seemed to be a derogatory word.
Is it wrong for people to be kind?
"Come to think of it, we haven't found out who this person is yet." Wen Chao said.
Wen Heng silently gnawed on the deliciously roasted rabbit leg, "Who do you think it is?"
"Me? How would I know?" Wen Chao said, "So many people came, and didn't they say they were from outside?"
"How many people outside have the guts to attack the people here?"
Wen Heng's words reminded Xia Zhiliao.
Yes, she always thought that it was someone from outside who was working in collusion with the outside world, but what Wen Heng said did make sense.
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng, but Wen Heng shook his head at her, signaling her to stop caring.
But Xia Zhiliao just felt that people should not die in such an unclear manner.
"But didn't they interrogate the men one by one at that time?"
Wen Heng smiled, "It may not be a man."
"No...it's like that, how can you not be a man?"
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng again and suddenly understood a lot of things.
Yes, not necessarily a man.
At that time, everyone just saw that Miss Lan was disheveled, but no one took the time to check whether she was really bullied.
Miss Lan was young, and when something like this happened, she naturally felt that she was being bullied.
But what if it’s a disguise?
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xia Zhiliao asked.
Wen Heng's expression was stern, "I just thought of it too."
“Liar!”
Xia Zhiliao frowned, a little angry, "You are so smart, how come you just thought of this?"
Wen Heng pulled her to sit down and said, "Keep your voice down. This matter is not as simple as you think. If it is a woman, then the conspiracy will be even bigger."
Xia Zhiliao nodded.
"Anyway, don't worry about this matter anymore. Just be obedient." Wen Heng coaxed her softly.
Wen Chao acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He was used to seeing other people die, so he didn't take Miss Lan's death too seriously.
People often die in the palace.
"Don't worry about it. Your situation is not good enough, why are you meddling in this and that?" Wen Chao said.
Wen Heng didn't say anything.
"Please listen to what I say. Who else but me will tell you these things now? And you should come with me tomorrow."
Wen Heng looked at him, "Why?"
Wen Chao curled his lips, "This is your first time here, how can you know the ins and outs of this place? Follow me and I will keep you safe."
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "Yes, follow him, he has experience. Besides, do you know anything?"
"I don't know anything, and I won't tell you even if I know."
Wen Chao looked at the rabbit leg handed over and said, "Don't try to bribe me. I only know that Fourth Brother was injured while hunting a few years ago. His leg is lame and he has no chance of becoming emperor."
"It's so dangerous, why are you here?" Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but complain.
"You don't know this, right? For me, I'm here to watch the fun." Wen Chao said with a smile.
"As long as you don't make any mistakes, no one will touch you for the time being, except..."
He didn't say who it was, but Xia Zhiliao and Wen Heng both knew it.
That person was Emperor Shunde.
Xia Zhilao had big eyes and a small stomach, and she didn't stop to eat along the way, so she shared the remaining rabbit meat with her brothers and Wen Heng.
Wen Heng reached out to take it and accidentally touched Xia Zhiliao's hand.
[Wow, be careful, there are arrows, hiss... Fortunately, it won't happen until tomorrow. ]
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng. Wen Heng didn't look at her, but he knew that someone would attack her secretly tomorrow.
"Brother Wen Heng, I think the Ninth Prince is right. You must be careful tomorrow. Be careful with those big rocks. It would be dangerous if they roll down."
Wen Heng immediately understood that the location was near the big rock.
