Her words were precise, concise and clear.

The tone was not high and the speed was not fast, but every word was like a knife, piercing through the disguise of the Third Prince one by one.

The third prince's face turned ugly.

How does he answer this?

If there really is such a person in the palace, where is the evidence?

He is bound to get into trouble because of his lies.

If not, then what was the purpose of what he just said?

Isn't that just slapping yourself in the face?

For a moment, the third prince froze, frowned, and became embarrassed when their eyes met.

At the same time, we have to re-examine this imperial seal that suddenly appeared.

She seems to be more difficult to deal with than the five young masters of the Shen family!

Shen Ruyi looked at him with calm eyes.

That look has a kind of calmness that is pure and unadulterated, and it is also like a mirror that can reflect the darkness in everyone's heart.

After crawling out of hell, she was not blinded by hatred and pain. Instead, she was like a sharp sword, shining brightly after being polished.

Shake off the dirt, and the sky will be filled with elegance.

The Third Prince was inexplicably defeated, his eyes flashed as he said, "I am too concerned and confused, you just took my words lightly, if you encounter a similar situation in the future, go to my mother for help."

"If we don't meet, it will be better."

He smiled and said, "I'm leaving first, Princess Zhaoyang, there's no need to be serious."

This smile is an instinctive concealment.

However, in Kyoto at this moment, his identity seemed out of place, too abnormal——

The prince just died.

He had just acted out the grief of brotherhood in front of the city defense army, but the next moment he smiled at Ruyi. He himself did not notice it at first, but outsiders understood it at a glance.

Ruyi watched him go away, lowered her eyes, and a smile was faintly visible in her eyes.

Lingling tilted her head and said, "This Third Prince is a good actor, but he is not good at acting. He must be eager to set off firecrackers when the Crown Prince dies, right?"

"We will not interfere in the fight between the princes for the throne."

Ruyi raised her eyes and glanced at Lingling. "When you are in the court, the less you talk, the safer you are."

“Although the royal family and the courtiers appear to be one, they are essentially separate. They are the kings and we are the ministers.”

"The battle for the throne among the nine dragons is a family affair of the royal family."

Ruyi is not that arrogant.

All she can do now is to do the current task well.

Lingling nodded, "You are right."

She doesn't talk much, her attitude is unrestrained, and she seems a bit lawless. If she were to follow someone else, they would think she is not well-educated, but Ruyi likes her.

Maybe he has been locked up in the backyard for too long.

Ruyi particularly yearns for freedom, and she will no longer easily trap herself in the vortex of any force.

When they were almost at Mu's house, Jing San brought new news.

"The Third Prince didn't find Shen Jiaojiao."

He looked at Ruyi with a complicated look in his eyes.

After all, Ruyi has come to this point today, at least on the surface, Shen Jiaojiao is her mortal enemy, and she should wish Shen Jiaojiao dead.

But Ruyi's face still showed no reaction, she just said: "I don't see him alive, nor his body after he died?"

"yes."

Jing San looked at her intently from under the opened car curtain.

“That’s normal.”

Ruyi's reaction surprised him. "Nan Chu's spies have been active in the Cao Gang for twenty years and have infiltrated the capital today. There is no way they are just two or three of them."

"Judging from the situation in Hantan, Shen Jiaojiao had already made plans to leave, so she tore her face off and dug up Shen Cangyun's dirty deeds."

"In this case, it is possible that she made plans in advance, had someone to pick her up, and took a shortcut."

"In contrast, the Third Prince's attention has always been on the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. It was not until the Crown Prince died that he personally supervised the search."

"But by then, the daylilies were already cold."

"As for the other people he sent out, they are all landlubbers from Northern Qi. Even if they were to track him down, how could they really go deep into the cold pond?"

“…”

After hearing these words, Jing San was stunned.

After a long moment, he sighed, “If I hadn’t witnessed the path the young lady took with my own eyes, I would have thought that you had already penetrated the imperial court and knew everything.”

Ruyi is naturally intelligent.

However, in his previous life, he died due to lack of love and put all his energy in the wrong place.

Now that I have found my own direction, of course I am shining brightly.

Jing San asked her, "What are your plans for Shen Jiaojiao? How about we send someone to chase her again?"

“Not worth it.”

Ruyi shook her head, "I can't touch you right now. Besides, several days have passed. It's too late to catch up now."

"Secondly, the Fourth Prince of Nanchu is determined to start a war, and our Third Prince is particularly willing to promote this war. I guess the Third Prince's goal is to use the Fourth Prince of Nanchu to kill my brother."

"And the Fourth Prince of Nanchu, in collaboration with our Third Prince, killed Senior Brother to establish his own authority and control the Nanchu army."

"That is to say."

Ruyi looked at Jing San, "Shen Jiaojiao is actually taking the same path that the Third Prince took when he colluded with the Fourth Prince of Nanchu."

"We will continue to use this route until the two sides face off, the Fourth Prince of Nanchu wins the first battle, and our Third Prince ascends the throne, or at least enters the East Palace."

"Therefore, the Third Prince would rather go to the palace to find the Emperor and get away with it than pursue the matter any further."

"If we continue to chase him, he will expose himself."

"So, even if he really wants to silence Shen Jiaojiao, he can only endure it for now, because when Shen Jiaojiao embarks on the path he opened up for the people of Nanchu, they will become a community of shared destiny."

Jing San pondered over these words.

After a long while, he suddenly realized something, "You mean, the reason why the Third Prince didn't find Shen Jiaojiao is not because he really couldn't find her, but because he couldn't look for her anymore?"

"Is he afraid that the alliance with the Fourth Prince of Nanchu will break down?"

Even he didn't expect this!

He had to admit that as one of the thirteen shadow guards of Fengyu Pavilion, his martial arts skills were indeed far superior to Ruyi's.

However, when it comes to the control of these things, he can only admit defeat!

He looked at Ruyi with a complicated expression.

This little girl is a natural born general, but she happens to be a girl. Otherwise, she would have made a name for herself long ago!

Ruyi also felt that as soon as she came into contact with these things, it was as if a door opened towards her.

"So, Shen Jiaojiao will come back. Let's wait."

Ruyi glanced towards the south and narrowed her eyes. “Besides, the next time she appears, she will definitely be completely different from the last time.”

A 26-year-old woman endured humiliation for 20 years for revenge, took medicine that hurt her body, and suffered from excruciating pain every day, but she still persisted...

Ruyi thought about her past life.

Shen Jiaojiao's current state was very similar to her previous life, where she used her power in the wrong place.

With Shen Jiaojiao's perseverance, can't she succeed in anything she does?

Ruyi lowered her eyes, her mood unclear.

She doesn't underestimate her opponents.

So, walk faster.
