Jiang Xuening's personality was too strong in her previous life. After entering the palace, she was not only isolated by her fellow students, but also made things difficult by Shen Zhiyi and disliked by the Empress Dowager. In short, her time as a student in the palace was a nightmare.
So much so that after her rebirth, she tried every means to escape into the palace.
But they couldn't escape the cruel tricks of fate.
Fortunately, she had already changed the fact that Shen Zhiyi disliked her. However, she never expected that because the handkerchief she dropped was exactly the same as the one Shen Jie treasured, it would make Xue Shu hate her in advance.
This controversy surrounding calligraphy practice books was orchestrated by Xue Shu.
Chu Yuan had taken the past two days off due to illness, and she thought this wouldn't happen so soon. It seems that her time travel has changed the original trajectory of some things.
Xie Wei was naturally worried about Jiang Xuening, and immediately got off the carriage, saying, "I must go to the palace right away."
“We’ll go with you!” Chu Yuan and Yan Ling said in unison.
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, first in surprise, then bursting into laughter.
Xie Wei turned around and nodded, preferring to ignore it. "That's fine then. I'll send my men to investigate Gong Chengyi and Xue Dingfei first. Once we have confirmed the situation, we can split up and take action."
Chu Yuan walked behind, muttering under her breath, "He's clearly just worried about Xue Ning, why does he have to come up with so many high-sounding reasons?"
Yan Ling was taken aback by these words. "A Yue, you mean, the master has feelings for Ning Ning..."
Chu Yuan squeezed his palm. "You're the only one who can't see it. Are all men's emotional nerves so slow to react? I'm afraid even Master Xie himself is just like you, unaware of it!"
Yan Ling stared thoughtfully at Xie Wei's retreating figure.
A woman's coquettish voice, tinged with anger, reached her ears: "Yan Ling, I know you might still not be able to let go of Xue Ning."
I am not the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will.
Besides, Xue Ning and I are pretty good friends now. If you really can't let go, you don't have to force yourself.
The words had barely left his mouth when Yanling suddenly stopped, catching him completely off guard.
He put his arm around her waist, his smile clear and pure, "A-Yue, what will it take for you to believe that I've let go of the past?"
Or, how about I kiss you right here in front of everyone, so that all the passersby can witness that my beloved Yanling has changed?
"You—" Chu Yuan blushed and broke free, "Aren't you ashamed!"
"There's nothing I can do. My beloved girl is always jealous, so I want to do something to make her feel less insecure."
Hearing this, Chu Yuan felt even more upset than before.
When did it become her turn to feel insecure?
joke!
After passing through numerous palace gates, the three of them finally arrived at the gate of Shou Kang Palace. From afar, they saw Jiang Xue Ning talking to someone.
That person was none other than Zhang Zhe.
Finding calligraphy practice books in Jiang Xuening's room was both difficult and easy.
If the calligraphy wasn't written by Jiang Xuening, then she was being framed. Therefore, Jiang Xuening cleverly used this to her advantage, threatening suicide to gain an opportunity to plead her case before the Empress Dowager.
In the end, the Empress Dowager did not dare to force her to her death, after all, Jiang Xuening's father, Jiang Boyou, had been promoted not long ago and was now the highly sought-after Minister of Revenue.
If the daughter of the Minister dies in the palace under mysterious circumstances, the previous dynasty will likely have a lot of complaints about the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Justice to handle the case.
The people who came included Chen Ying, the Minister of Justice who had sought refuge with Xie Wei, and Zhang Zhe, the famous detective of the Great Gan Dynasty.
After a thorough interrogation, the palace maid who replaced the calligraphy copybook was apprehended, and Jiang Xuening was successfully exonerated.
However, when Zhang Zhe was about to interrogate the palace maid further to find out who was behind it, the Empress Dowager realized that this matter was related to Xue Shu. She hurriedly convicted the palace maid and protected Xue Shu without any harm.
No wonder the Empress Dowager is called a pig. Her son has become the emperor, but she doesn't know how to enjoy her retirement. She always drags her family into her life without any bottom line. Sooner or later, something bad will happen!
At this moment, Jiang Xuening was secretly delighted to be able to stand on the same side as Zhang Zhe again, and was extremely grateful for his help.
So, standing in front of Zhang Zhe, she expressed her gratitude while smiling and revealing a touch of girlish charm.
A moment later, unable to hide her admiration, she gazed at Zhang Zhe's departing figure for a long time, unwilling to look away.
Zhang Zhe walked in the opposite direction, from a different direction than Chu Yuan and the others.
So much so that Jiang Xuening didn't even notice them. It wasn't until Xie Wei took the first step forward that Jiang Xuening seemed to sense something and turned around. When she saw Xie Wei, she was startled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Wei's voice was deep and somber, "I heard you had an accident, but you're all right now, right?"
"Hmm, it's alright now." Jiang Xuening didn't notice Xie Wei's hidden concern. In her mind, he was a cunning and treacherous traitor, a dangerous person who should not be easily provoked.
Who would have thought that Xie Wei would like her?
But whether in the first or the second life, Xie Wei treated her differently because of the life-saving grace of feeding her blood four years ago.
Even though she got lost in the glitz and glamour of power and indirectly harmed the Yan family he valued most, he never blamed her.
Jiang Xuening was reluctant to leave, still looking at Zhang Zhe's back, which had shrunk to a dot in the distance. "It's all thanks to Lord Zhang's brilliant judgment and his righteous words, otherwise I would have suffered a lot of physical pain."
Xie Wei clenched his fist, blaming himself for arriving too late.
But soon, this feeling of self-blame was replaced by jealousy. He grabbed Jiang Xuening's shoulder, forcing her to stop looking in that direction. "Jiang Xuening, do you like Zhang Zhe?"
Jiang Xuening, who was just immersed in "happiness", turned pale upon hearing this and even stammered, "I...I didn't, stop talking nonsense."
"My eyes aren't blind yet!" Xie Wei couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't lash out at Jiang Xuening because at this moment, he didn't realize that he had already fallen for her.
I just felt bad and made a sarcastic remark in a lukewarm way.
"Fine! With you like this, who can't see that you have feelings for Zhang Zhe? I can see it, and so can others, especially those who want to harm you. They've seized on this weakness, leaving you with nowhere to escape or avoid it. If you don't learn to hide your true strength, then just wait to be devoured by wild wolves!"
Jiang Xuening was so scolded that she had no chance to retaliate.
Because she knew very well that Xie Wei was right!
But Zhang Zhe had already taken root and sprouted in her heart since her previous life. How could she remain unmoved when she saw him again, still alive and upright?
Upon seeing this, Chu Yuan and Yan Ling immediately stopped and did not move forward.
However, the two of them could hear Xie Wei and Jiang Xuening's conversation clearly.
Yan Ling finally realized that Xie Wei had feelings for Jiang Xue Ning, otherwise she wouldn't have such a resentful and angry expression.
But is it that Ningning's crush isn't Xie Wei, but Zhang Zhe?
