Chapter 2079 Hair in the Water Grass
At this moment, Gu Yiyou looked down at the letter in his father's hand and frowned: "This-"
Nan Yan immediately looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Gu Tingqiu said bitterly, "What else can I say? Qi Qing, she has disappointed me so much!"
Gu Yiyou said hurriedly, "Father, don't jump to conclusions. Look carefully at these words."
"Um?"
After hearing what he said, Gu Tingqiu calmed down a little, looked at the words on the paper carefully again, and suddenly something came to his mind.
"This, this word—"
Nan Yan immediately asked, "Is this handwriting Qi Qing's?"
The father and son both raised their heads and said at the same time, "No."
At this time, Gu Tingqiu also breathed a sigh of relief. At least Qi Qing didn't do such a thing himself, but the handwriting on the letter still made him very angry.
Nan Yan asked, "Whose handwriting is this?"
Gu Yiyou didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took the letter and handed it to Si Muyun who was standing beside him to read it again. When Si Muyun saw it, his face turned pale. He stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, this is Mu Zhen's handwriting."
"she?"
Nan Yan's breath became heavier.
She had never exchanged letters with Gu Qiqing and did not recognize her handwriting. She was just suspicious, so after receiving the letter from King Wei, she immediately found the Gu family and asked them to identify the handwriting.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be - Si Muzhen!
She said solemnly, "Are you sure?"
Si Muyun frowned and said sadly, "Mu Zhen has lived in her uncle's house most of her life since she was little. She studied and learned to write with Qi Qing. Their handwriting is very similar. Sometimes, they would imitate each other's handwriting. The words above... I have seen them. They are exactly Mu Zhen's imitation of Qi Qing's handwriting."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan let out a long sigh.
"It's her indeed."
If before, it was just their guesses and inferences, then this time, this letter and Si Muyun's identification were certain.
As expected, she was involved in this matter!
Gu Tingqiu's face turned ashen.
At this point, what else is there to be confused about? Si Muzhen actually imitated Gu Qiqing's handwriting and invited the King of Wei to meet at Zhenjue Temple?!
It turned out to be her who plotted against Qi Qing!
He said sadly: "She, she actually did this!"
“…”
"She actually framed Qi Qing like this!"
Si Muyun stood aside, looking at the letter in his hand, then looking at his heartbroken uncle. He felt extremely regretful when he thought that Si Muzhen had actually done such a thing.
My sister is simply insane!
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Nan Yan and asked softly: "My Lady, what about her——"
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at him with a gloomy expression.
After a long silence, she said in a deep voice, "It seems that we must find her now!"

After that hasty escape, Ye Zheng and He Yi came to Zhenjue Temple again.
But this time, they were not here to check on anyone.
Because Zhu Feng had already told Ye Zheng not to look for any more clues about Zhenjue Temple, and he also couldn't get any official documents, so he couldn't seal off Zhenjue Temple openly. This time, he and He Yi just came here as tourists.
Looking at the temple that was bustling with incense, because of that strange event, there were more pilgrims coming and going, and there was almost a constant stream of cars at the entrance.
The two of them could only smile bitterly.
He Yi asked, "Do you still want to go in?"
"Forget it, we won't find anything if we go in."
"Then, go back?"
"Let's go for a walk in the back."
"Um."
The two of them walked around the wall and slowly forward along the path they had escaped that day, and soon they entered this quiet forest. The yellow leaves that had fallen in the forest all year round formed a thick layer on the ground, and walking on it was like walking on a carpet.
The rustling sound makes this quiet forest even more silent.
After walking for a while, Ye Zheng said, "What do you think?"
"Um?"
He Yi was originally thinking, but when she heard his question, she turned around and saw Ye Zheng sweating all over his face, looking at her seriously: "What do you think about this matter?"
“…”
He Yi did not speak immediately, but was silent for a while, then said: "You said that the emperor did not allow you to investigate the matter of Zhenjue Temple again."
Ye Zheng nodded.
He asked puzzledly, "Tell me, what exactly is the emperor planning?"
“…”
"We can't find him. I don't know if he has left the imperial city or been hidden. The only clue left is the people and events in Zhenjue Temple. If we don't investigate, as time goes by, the clues will disappear and there will really be nothing left."
“…”
He Yi thought for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "How could the emperor not know?"
“…”
"I guess he has his own plans."
"I just want to know what the plan is."
“…”
"Could it be that he doesn't want to investigate this matter?"
He Yi glanced at him. Although there were green trees all around, in such hot and humid weather, even if one walked in the shade, one would still be sweating profusely. Ye Zheng was in agony, and the sweat on his face kept dripping down like beads with broken strings.
He smiled and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If something goes wrong, there's no way the Emperor won't want to solve it."
“…”
"He just..."
"Just what?"
"He just wants to find the best time and solve it in the best way."
"What?"
Ye Zheng was a little confused, but He Yi said with a smile: "Okay, you're sweating all over your face, go to the front and wash your face."
Ye Zheng turned around and saw a small river in front of him.
He nodded and walked over with Hei.
This river flows down from the mountain. The water is clear and there are a lot of aquatic plants growing on the banks. They sway and float along the clear water, looking particularly refreshing.
Ye Zheng squatted by the river, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, and immediately felt extremely refreshed.
“Hmm!”
He sighed deeply and washed several more times in a row. He Yi stood behind him with his hands behind his back. Seeing him like this, he just smiled.
At this moment, Ye Zheng suddenly said "hmm".
He Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
He walked over and saw Ye Zheng holding a handful of water plants in his hand, wrapped around his fingertips. It was obvious that he had accidentally gotten them wrapped around his fingertips while washing his face. But when he tried to pull the water plants apart, he found that there were a few strands of black stuff mixed in.
Ye Zheng said: "What is this? This, this——"
His voice suddenly dropped.
"Is this hair?!"
"hair?"
When He Yi heard this, he also frowned and hurried forward, only to see Ye Zheng grabbing the black thing and pulling it hard.
Then I heard a "crash".
Something was suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the water and appeared before their eyes!
