Palace.

When Chu Liuyue arrived with Chu Ning, Emperor Jiawen and the empress were already waiting in the main hall.

Sitting below, there are also Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen.

And on the other side, there is another person - Rong Jiu.

Chu Liuyue had already heard Chu Ning say what had happened before, so she was not surprised that Rong Jiu was here.

Her eyes quickly swept over the bodies of several people in the main hall.

Emperor Jiawen's face was expressionless, but his eyes were gloomy.

The queen was much haggard than the last time she saw her, as if she had suddenly aged more than ten years.

It can be seen that these recent events have tormented her a lot.

When Rong Jin saw Chu Liuyue, a complicated look flashed on his face.

In his hand, he held a hairpin.

Chu Liuyue guessed that it was the one they said they found in their backyard before.

Situ Xingchen and Rong Jiu both looked calm and couldn't see anything.

Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue saluted in turn.

Emperor Jiawen asked the two to sit down.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, then... Let's get started!"

Emperor Jiawen had no patience anymore, so he went straight to the point, looked at Situ Xingchen, and asked in a deep voice:

"Xingchen, you said before that you once saw Liuyue and Zhenzhen together, but is it true?"

Situ Xingchen got up and saluted.

"Back to His Majesty's words, Xingchen didn't dare to say anything, and everything he said was true. Because there was a fire in the Nine Shadows Pagoda that day, the stars remember it very clearly. After the collapse of the Nine Shadows Tower, because Taiyan Academy was about to leave on the second day, I quickly went back to pack my luggage. Unexpectedly, I happened to see Rong Zhen and Chu Liuyue on the road. “

Emperor Jiawen asked:

"Was there anyone else?"

"There was an old man in a black robe, but I didn't see the face. ”

"And what did you hear them say?"

"I didn't hear it at that time. But seeing that the two of them are very close, I thought that the two of them had a good relationship. I didn't expect it to come later..."

Emperor Jiawen's face became more and more cold.

The black-robed old man who followed must be enough to be Si Meng.

If Situ Xingchen was telling a lie, then how could she know about Si Meng's existence?

"Actually, that day, after I saw this scene, I was still a little strange in my heart. Situ Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Jiawen, and said with some hesitation, "Because on that day, Your Majesty had just married the divorced king and Chu Liuyue." So seeing her and Rong Zhen together, I wondered for a long time. ”

Everyone knows.

This is a very special time.

No matter how good Chu Liuyue and Rong Zhen's relationship is, it seems that they shouldn't be with her on the day she was given marriage.

What's more, who doesn't know that there was a conflict between these two?

They're really suspicious together.

Emperor Jiawen asked again:

"And then? Have you seen where they went?"

Situ Xingchen shook his head:

"At that time, I just glanced at it from afar, and I was in a hurry to go back, so I left. I don't know where they're going. ”

Emperor Jiawen nodded: "You sit down." “

Instead, he looked at Chu Liuyue again.

"Liuyue, you heard all those words just now, what do you have to say?"

Chu Liuyue gently tapped the arm of the chair with one hand and looked at Situ Xingchen thoughtfully.

The words she said just now were actually very vague, but only Si Meng's existence gave her words great credibility.

After all, even Emperor Jiawen didn't know about Si Meng's existence before, and Situ Xingchen could say this, which was naturally easy for people to believe.

In other words, Situ Xingchen did know about Si Meng's existence for a long time.

Perhaps, she also knows what happened that day.

It's just that for some reason she can't say it completely, but can only choose a compromise statement.

After all, even if this is the case, it can still push Rong Zhen's matter onto her.

Chu Liuyue said lightly:

"I didn't see Rong Zhen that day. ”

"On that day, King Liwang sent someone to send me and my father home, and after that, the people of the Chu family sent an invitation, and my father went over there. I stayed at home and didn't come out. In this matter, the people of the Chu family can testify. “

When Chu Ning went to Chu Mansion, many people knew that he had been used as a talking point for a long time in private.

Who doesn't know that those people in the Chu family regret driving Chu Ning's father and daughter out, and are trying their best to persuade them to go back!

Chu Ning said:

"Not bad. Tianyue'er originally planned to go back with me, but I dissuaded her, and she stayed at home. “

"Even if that's the case, who can say that she didn't go out when Lord Chu Ning left?" Rong Jin argued, "What's more, the two of you are father and daughter, and I'm afraid that the testimony you said can't be completely taken seriously." ”

Chu Ning's brows condensed slightly.

If the other party keeps saying this, they have no way to refute it.

Because he and Yue'er really have no way to prove that Yue'er has been at home during the period in between.

Chu Liuyue suddenly said:

"I heard that the hairpin appeared inexplicably, and even the queen couldn't tell how it came from. So how do you know that everything else you say is true?"

The queen was angry: You!"

Chu Liuyue is really a pot that can't be opened!

His Majesty was already very dissatisfied with her yesterday because of this hairpin, and now she mentions it again, isn't it for His Majesty to give eye medicine!?

Rong Jin frowned and hid the hairpin in his hand.

He originally thought that this hairpin was really found ironclad evidence, but judging from the reaction of the queen mother, it is really hard to say what is going on...

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the scene reached a stalemate.

Rong Jiu suddenly said:

"In fact, the key to this matter is to find Rong Zhen's whereabouts. The queen mother, Rong Zhenyuan Dan is shattered, with her own ability, she will definitely not be able to leave the palace quietly. In other words, she must have left with the help of Si Meng. Although Si Meng is dead, but... Didn't he leave any clues?"

The queen's heart was even more irritable.

She knew that every time Si Meng was mentioned, the dissatisfaction and disgust in His Majesty's heart were even worse.

But now, if you want to completely put all the blame on Chu Liuyue, Si Meng is a very key figure.

She rubbed her temples and said:

"Nope. Si Meng died very suddenly. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and looked at Chu Liuyue with suspicion.

"That's right, then again. Si Mengnai was a fifth-order martial artist, and ordinary people were not his opponents at all. The person who can kill him so quickly must be extremely strong! In the entire imperial capital, there don't seem to be many people of this level. ”

Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Does the queen suspect that I killed him? You can't help but think too highly of me, a second-order martial artist, right?"
