Chu Junlan told Chu Huating about going to the palace to pay tribute at the beginning of the year, but was framed and guilty of Concubine Shu.

"Actually, when I had never met Concubine Shu before, I thought Concubine Shu could get close to him. After all, our mother was once a person around Concubine Shu, and this house was even rewarded by Concubine Shu.

"But since he clashed with the Sixth Prince in person and then passed by the palace, I have seen through who Concubine Shu is. I don't expect to be closer to her. Naturally, I can't ask her about the original matter. Even if I ask, she may not be willing to tell us the truth."

Chu Huating nodded: "So, according to the clues that Uncle Yuan told us, I can't find Madam Tao, nor can I ask Concubine Shu. We can only find a way to meet the Shuntian Prefecture of that year. Unfortunately, Lord Yi is now the Minister of Personnel, how can we meet two little people, you and me?"

Speaking of this, Chu Huating sighed: "It's a pity that if I want to enter the officialdom, I can only wait for the spring exam of the next year. But even if I get lucky, I will start with the editor of the sixth and seventh rank. It is basically impossible to talk to the Minister of Personnel."

"So I can't count on a normal way, I have to think of a way to talk to Yi Yuhai in private."

Chu Junlan held his chin and tapped the table with a faint pink nail, "You think, I really saw him through normal channels. Can you directly ask him why he ordered the cessation of thorough investigation of our mother's case? Lord Yi is not a naive fool, so how could he tell the truth?"

Chu Huating rubbed his eyebrows, taking it as he was helpless, but he was still comforting Chu Junlan: "It's not important, we didn't have any clues at the beginning. Now we have a direction, and we still have Uncle Yuan around us. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. My mother's grievance will sooner or later, and I will find a way."

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "I heard from the prince that there are frequent good news in the north, and the imperial court is almost certain. I think that as soon as the war is over, the king will return to Beijing, and my wedding date will be closer. I want to solve this matter before the wedding date. If I go to the palace in the future, maybe there will be more trouble. I am afraid that it will not be easy to take time out."

Chu Huating nodded in agreement and said, "You are right. After getting married, you will be respectful to the people of the Wang family. It is better not to interfere too much in your parents' affairs. But in fact, you don't have to worry. I have never forgotten my mother's affairs, and I will continue to follow them."

"Will it be easier for us to work together?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled. Thinking of the deceased Lu, a faint sadness surged in their hearts.

Although Chu Junlan had never really been with Lu, she inherited the memory of this body. In the hazy, she had a lot of feelings for her mother. Even when Lu died, her body was only two or three years old.

Sometimes Chu Junlan even thinks that blood ties, even death, cannot be changed. Just like she is now living in this body, but she has completely merged with this body. The memory of the original body is hers, and the feelings of the original body are also hers. Many things are not something she can say to give up.

Chu Junlan returned to his house and couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Xiao Xu visited the door, saying that he was asking Chu Junlan to treat his illness. In fact, everyone in his family knew why he came, but they didn't reveal it.

"What? Princess Zhang actually nodded?"

"Yes," Xiao Xu pushed the fruit plate to Chu Junlan, "Try it. This watermelon has been kept in the well water, and I took it out when I went out."

Chu Junlan then picked up a small silver fork, ate a piece of watermelon, and asked, "How could Princess Zhang promise to let someone like Chu Mengying be Xiao Yunpeng's concubine?"

"It's not the Chu family's fault. Princess Zhang is now leaving Princess Cai, and Chu Mengying's injuries are quite unbearable."

"How unbearable?"

Xiao Xu was a little embarrassed, and pursed his thin lips before whispering: "Xiao Yunpeng injured Chu Mengying very seriously."

Chu Junlan blinked. She was not a pure old friend. After thinking about it, she naturally understood.

Xiao Yunpeng now has no ability, but as a man, lack of ability does not mean that he has no desires. Chu Mengying is determined to be the wife of the second son of the royal family. She is close to seduction, but Xiao Yunpeng's body is not allowed. He is evil and attacks his heart. I think it was because he used some incompetent means to "defil" Chu Mengying. Perhaps he was like some people she knew, when they were not capable, they would seek happiness in the process of violence.

I think Chu Cailiang also seized this point and threatened Princess Zhang. Princess Zhang wanted face and could not let Princess Cai catch the handle, so he had to nod.

Thinking of this, Chu Mengying is really miserable. As Xiao Yunpeng's concubine, she will face a husband who is inhumane and has a abuser, and a mother-in-law who doesn't even look down on her. What exactly does she want?

Chu Junlan shook his head and asked Xiao Xu: "By the way, do you have any way to let me talk to Yi Zhongzai?"

Xiao Xu was stunned, "Are you talking about Yi Yuhai, Minister of Personnel?"

“That’s right.”

"I don't have much contact with Yi Zhongzai, but I think Yi Yuhai seems to have some friendship with my father. I can ask him to see him, but Yi Yuhai is very cautious and is not willing to show his preferences outside and does not take sides easily. I am afraid that I will speak, so he will directly refuse to avoid suspicion." Xiao Xu said in detail, afraid that Chu Junlan would misunderstand, and asked again, "What are you looking for him for?"

Chu Junlan was a little helpless and hesitated for a moment, but told Xiao Xu what she wanted to do.

This was the first time Chu Junlan told him her difficulties in detail. Xiao Xu listened very seriously and nodded, "It seems that things happened back then were indeed strange. Although Yi Yuhai's personality is not upright, he is not a fool. If the investigation is not allowed, Uncle Yuan would not have investigated so carefully at the beginning. It can only be said that someone with a higher status gave orders to Yi Yuhai."

"So I wonder, who gave orders to him."

"I'm afraid he won't say it."

"I'll always try it."

Xiao Xu nodded, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way to give you a chance to talk to Yi Yuhai."

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "It's so good. If you do it, I will reward you. How about it?"

Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan, his eyes fell on her bright red lips, and before he could speak, his ears turned red.

He started to do this with anticipation, but after working for several days, he could only tell Chu Junlan helplessly: "I'm afraid I won't get the reward."

"What?" Chu Junlan looked at Xiao Xu's downward and bowed his head with a funny look.
