Ganjiang City, Chu Mansion.

"The eldest lady should be careful all the way, and when you arrive at the palace, you must remember to let people bring a letter back, so that the lord and the lady can rest assured. Aunt Lin, who brought up the eldest lady of the Chu family since she was a child, told Chu Xiangluo while helping her tidy up her dress.

"Got it, Aunt Lin. Chu Xiangluo responded sweetly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." ”

Aunt Lin loves her as if she were her own daughter, she naturally knows that Aunt Lin is reluctant to let her leave here, and she is reluctant to Aunt Lin and her father, but she has to go to the palace, and the person she loves is waiting for her there.

"Our eldest lady is blessed, she is going to enter the palace as the crown princess, and she will serve His Royal Highness the prince well in the future, this is also the blessing of our Chu family!"

Aunt Lin smiled and helped the eldest lady tidy up her dress, and then picked up the comb and combed her delicate hair in a serious bun, thinking that the eldest lady was going to leave home and enter the palace, she was both happy and reluctant.

"Aunt Lin, don't worry, I will come back to see you as soon as I have the opportunity in the future. Chu Xiangluo turned around, held Aunt Lin's hand and said, "Although the capital is a little far away from our Genjiang City, Luoluo will definitely come back often." ”

"Silly boy, how can you come back when you become the crown princess. ”

"Aunt Lin......" When Chu Xiangluo heard this, his flower-like face flushed with a burst of pink, and he looked even more moving.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and a neutral voice sounded: "Luoluo, it's time to go." ”

The head of the Chu family, that is, Chu Xiangluo's father, was standing outside the corridor with his hands in his hands, and standing next to him was his gentle and virtuous wife, the two looked at each other speechlessly, but their expressions were full of reluctance for their daughter.

Chu Xiangluo had already dressed up, came out of the room, and saw that his father and mother were outside the door, so he saluted obediently, "Daddy!"

"Luoluo, come here. Mrs. Chu called her daughter in a gentle voice, stretched out her hand to hug the pearl in her palm, there were tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say something serious again.

The Chu family is a well-known scholarly family and is quite famous in Genjiang City. During the great drought last year, the Chu family took out all the money and grain to help the people in the city, which was very respected.

The eldest lady of the Chu family is knowledgeable, talented and beautiful, and is a famous talented woman in Ganjiang City, people are full of praise when they talk about Chu Xiangluo, and there is an endless stream of people in the city who come to the Chu family to propose marriage.

During the great drought, the crown prince Wang Chengchen went to Genjiang City many times to inspect the people's situation and appease the people. It is said that they met Chu Xiangluo by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight, so they agreed to take her into the palace as a concubine after the drought.

For some reason, this news spread throughout the city, and when the people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pick up Chu Xiangluo parked the carriage at the door of Chu's house, the streets were full of people standing on both sides of the street to join in the congratulations.

Chu Xiangluo and his parents walked to the door, and saw many people outside, "Father, mother, my daughter is leaving, you have to take care of your health! Aunt Lin, take care of my father." ”

"Okay, okay, don't worry, Miss. Aunt Lin nodded.

Mrs. Chu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, leaned into her husband's arms and sobbed softly, as if she couldn't bear this parting.

"Let's go. Father Chu looked at Chu Xiangluo and said lightly, although he was reluctant in his heart, as a father, he had never been very good at showing his emotions.

Chu Xiangluo straightened his clothes, stood respectfully in front of his parents, and bowed deeply, "That Luoluo...... Let's go. ”

A delicate carriage escorted by the prince's personal guard slowly drove out of Genjiang City and headed for the bustling Nancheng Capital.

The subordinates in the palace came to the palace to say: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Chu has received it and is coming to the capital." ”

"Got it. When Wang Chengchen heard the news, a smile appeared on his face, and a touch of tenderness inadvertently appeared between his eyebrows.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Su Yilin, who had just walked in from outside the door, also heard the news, and said to Wang Chengchen with a smile, "Now there will finally be a crown princess in the palace." ”

Wang Chengchen was very surprised when he met Chu Xiangluo in Genjiang City, that familiar face made him think that it was his girlfriend who he once loved, and when he stepped forward to talk, he realized that it was not the case, the two just looked exactly the same, and Chu Xiangluo did not come through time.

But Chu Xiangluo's gentleness, touching and generosity, still attracted him, if there was a heartbeat, it must be when Chu Xiangluo smiled at him shyly.

At that time, he wanted to take her back to the palace, but Chu Xiangluo was unwilling to leave Genjiang City at the time of the catastrophe, for fear of leaving a bad reputation for him among the people, so he had to wait until the drought was over before he could enter the palace to accompany him.

And Wang Chengchen also said according to her, now that the drought has passed and the war has stopped, he sent someone to take her into the palace.

"By the way, is there any news about Wei Xi's late incident?" Su Yilin was quite concerned about this matter.

As far as the public is concerned, someone is so rampant in the place of Nancheng Country, and he must find out and not let it go.

Privately, Wei Xiwan can be regarded as a former deceased person, and this time he proposed that she go to investigate the theft of the treasury, if she died because of this, he would feel very guilty.

"Nope. Wang Chengchen put a smile on his face. Nan Cheng has always attached great importance to human life, even if a common person dies for no reason, he has to find out the reason, not to mention a court official who has just been appointed as a special envoy by him and ten subordinates in the palace.

During the conversation, a small pigeon came in from the window with fluttering wings and flew down to the prince's table, Wang Chengchen picked up the pigeon and untied the note tied to the pigeon's feet.

"Xiao Ren came with the news that it was the remnants of the Mo Owl League who assassinated Wei Xiwan and his party. Looking at the news on the note, Wang Chengchen couldn't help frowning, a little angry. He thought that the Ink Owl Alliance had completely disappeared, but he never thought that there were still remnants of evil doing evil.

"Then they killed Wei Xiwan just to take revenge on our Nancheng Imperial Court, or is there another purpose?" Su Yilin was also taken aback when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It should be to take revenge on the Imperial Court, after all, Wei Xiwan has nothing to do with the Mo Xiao League." ”

Xiao Ren found out that Wei Xiwan's background was innocent, and there was no motive to steal the military defense map when he went to the military division's mansion that night, and the only possibility of meeting her in the room was that she went to the wrong room.

But the fake background that Anyan Heng once made for Wei Xiwan, if it was so easy to find out the truth and falsehood, how could he be an official in the court of the Eastern Drag Kingdom in the first place.

"Someone, call General Xu over. Wang Chengchen casually lit the note in the candle flame while instructing, put it in the incense burner, and then turned his head to look at Su Yilin and said, "I'll leave the matter of finding Wei Xi late to you." ”

"No problem, the remnants of the Ink Owl Alliance will be handed over to General Xu, and I will definitely find her. Su Yilin nodded earnestly in agreement.

"General Xu has arrived. "A report from the guards coming out of the door.

Su Yilin stood up, "Then I'll go first, go to the library and look for a map of the river or something." ”

After saying that, he saw that General Xu had already come in, so he saluted Wang Chengchen, and slowly turned around and exited the palace hall.

Coming to the largest library in the Nancheng Palace, Su Yilin asked the bookkeeper to find a book with a map of the river, and opened it to find the river that Wei Xiwan fell into.

"Found it, Yidong River ......" Su Yilin muttered and looked in the direction of the river on the map, "Here, here...... I've arranged for people to go to all these places in the river!"

He had arranged for people to look for any possible place on either side of the river, but there was no news. Could it be that Wei Xi had already been rescued by someone, or was she not injured at all and swam ashore by herself? Then why didn't she go back to the palace?

When I was puzzled, I accidentally glanced at a bend in the river, and when the river reached this place in the map, there was a nearly right-angle turn.

Originally, if there was a mountain blocking the river, it was not uncommon for there to be a sharp bend, but there was a small ink spot at this sharp bend, and I thought it was a stain that had been accidentally glued to it, but now when I look at it carefully, it looks like a man-made mark.

"Come here. Su Yilin called the bookkeeper who was sorting out the books on the side, "Do you know what this point means?"

"Master Su's forgiveness, these subordinates don't know, but the grandfather, the head of the library pavilion, may know, he has read all the books here. The clerk replied with trepidation, but when he mentioned the grandfather in charge, he couldn't help but have a look of respect on his face.

"Okay, where is he? I'll go find him. Su Yilin knew that the grandfather in charge of the library pavilion was over seventy years old, in charge of the library for more than 50 years, and he was well-read and highly respected, and even the current emperor respected him very much.

"My subordinates will take you there. ”

Su Yilin got up, took the book and followed the bookkeeper to find the manager.

"Hello grandpa. As soon as he saw the grandfather in charge, Su Yilin made a salute to show respect, except for the emperor in the palace, everyone would call him "grandpa".

"Why did Master Su come to find the old man?" The grandfather was sitting and reading, and when he saw Su Yilin coming, he put down the book in his hand and looked at him with a smile, his wrinkled face revealing a kindness and kindness.

"How does Grandpa know I'm Su Yilin?" he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"The old man is so old, what else is in this palace I don't know. The grandfather said with a smile that there are not many outstanding and talented young people in the palace, so he naturally knows who he is.

"Oh, do you know what the mark on the bend of the river on this book means?" Su Yilin also smiled, walked a few steps forward and handed the book to the chief manager with both hands.

"I'll see...... This one. Grandpa took the book and squinted for a while before putting it down, "Of course I know." ”
