Chapter 379: Probing (four more)

"Your Highness's move is really delicate."
Chu Liuyue looked at the chessboard in front of him, and the black chess piece in his hand did not fall for a long time.
"Almost all of my black moves are blocked."
On the opposite side, Rong Xiu sat quietly, hearing this, his scarlet lips slightly curved.
"You clearly have a way to go, don't you?"
Of course Chu Liuyue could see it.
but...
"Even if you take this step and barely break free from the current predicament, isn't your Highness already prepared for the net? Anyway, it's all a loss. It's meaningless to take this step more."
Chu Liuyue threw the chess piece back into the chess pot and raised both hands.
"I surrender."
Seeing her behaved, Rong Xiu raised his sword eyebrows slightly.
"You don't pay attention, what are you thinking?"
While talking, he began to put away the chess pieces.
Chu Liuyue wrinkled her nose as she watched his slow movements.
In fact, even if she concentrated on playing chess with Rong Xiu, she would barely make a tie.
Really speaking, Rong Xiu is indeed a good one.
Rong Xiu slowly said:
"This step seems boring, but someone will go."
Chu Liuyue hummed lightly: "It's just a fuss."
"Not only did Situ Yan not cancel the marriage contract between Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen, but he also took the initiative to intercede. Even if his majesty is furious, he can't wait to deal with the queen and the prince immediately, now he has to sell Situ Yan a face."
Chu Liuyue had long expected that Situ Yan would not easily cancel the marriage contract, but he did not expect that he would help out so simply.
It can be seen that Situ Yan does not generally value Rong Jin...
Rong Xiu smiled slightly:
"If the problem can be solved so easily, it doesn't have to be delayed until today."
Chu Liuyue suddenly moved a little closer, resting both hands on the chessboard, staring at Rong Xiu and asked:
"His Royal Highness, did you know that Situ Yan would help?"
Rong Xiu raised his eyes slightly, and his deep gaze flicked across Chu Liuyue's face, like a smile but not a smile.
"Didn't you already know it?"
Between the two, there seemed to be some kind of ambiguous air flow slowly.
Chu Liuyue looked at Rong Xiu thoughtfully.
Of course she knew.
However, the reason she guessed this way was purely because she knew something.
But...what about Rongxiu?
He also knows?
Chu Liuyue paused and said:
"Because Situ Yan asked to help, your majesty has not abolished the prince for the time being, and even the queen has not officially decreed to abolish it. But many people have noticed that it is wrong, and now all kinds of speculations are rampant, and people's hearts are shaken. And your majesty ordered a thorough investigation of Qijiaoxiang , But there has been no progress... Your Highness, what are your plans?"
Rong Xiu put the chess pieces away completely, looking at Chu Liuyue's curious look, couldn't help but bow his head, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Although you won't win by taking one more step, it can be more exciting. And...that way, you can win more easily."
...
Prince's House.
Because Rong Jin was under house arrest again, the atmosphere of the entire Prince's Mansion became very solemn.
The people up and down were full of dejection and lifelessness, and did not see the proud appearance of the prince when he was beautiful.
Who could have imagined that the prince once envied by everyone would now fall into such a field?
Although His Majesty has not given the order, there are rumors in the imperial capital that even the queen has been under house arrest this time, and it is only a matter of time before the prince is abandoned.
Chu Xianmin sat in her room.
It was already late autumn, and the weather was getting colder.
Her residence was deserted and deserted, and it was more like a cellar in winter.
Her hand slowly stroked the veil on her face.
Although she is the only one here, she dare not show her face.
Because even she herself was afraid of seeing that face.
In the beginning, she had never thought that she would be where she is today?
She thought for a long time and finally got up.
I heard that Situ Xingchen was visiting the Prince's Mansion today, so she had to pay a visit no matter what.
Walking outside, the road was quiet and terrible, and it was not much better than her place.
She went all the way towards the front hall.
After walking a long distance, I finally saw a figure on the road.
Most of them were subordinates, but when these people saw her, they just scribbled and left.
Chu Xianmin couldn't help laughing at herself.
These people used to make fun of her when they met her, but now they don't even bother to do so.
Vaguely, can hear the whispers of those people.
"I really don't know what the Princess Situ plans! Now, the prince and the empress have been under house arrest, and sooner or later they will have to be annulled! This one hasn't cancelled the marriage contract with the prince! Isn't this trouble for yourself? ?"
"Who knows this? Maybe it's an infatuation, willing to go with life and death?"
"I don't think so! You didn't see the way the prince princess treated the prince! I just went in to deliver the tea, and I didn't see a smile on her face! I said it was to visit the prince, but no one saw it. I was forced to do it!"
"Who can force her? She is the jewel of Emperor Xiankang of Xingluo!"
"Anyway, with her here, your Majesty should not behave to the prince for a while. But I think, let's find another way out! This prince's mansion will completely change the sky when it is uneven!"
"I heard that your Majesty has attached great importance to the Three Highnesses recently, and seems to be planning to entrust the king..."
Chu Xianmin gritted his teeth and walked forward.
...
In the front hall, Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen sat opposite.
After going through these few days, Rong Jin's whole body was thin and he looked haggard, and even the last bit of energy was almost exhausted.
He was worried about the queen and himself, and he was anxious for days and nights, which naturally became like this.
Fortunately, the position of the prince was saved after all!
"Xingchen, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Rong Jin looked at Situ Xingchen in front of him with gratitude.
"I knew you wouldn't stand by and watch!"
In Rong Jin's view, the reason Situ Yan was willing to help must be because Situ Xingchen begged.
Therefore, in my heart, I cherish the stars of Situ even more.
However, Situ Xingchen didn't think so.
Being stared at by Rong Jin with that kind of eyes, she only felt that her whole body was hairy, and she almost couldn't sit still.
If it hadn't been for the order of the father, she would have said nothing!
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, this is what the stars should do..."
Situ Xingchen almost gritted his teeth and spit out these words.
Rong Jin didn't realize her thoughts at all, only sighed deeply and sighed deeply.
"Unfortunately, the father and the queen found the mother guilty and refused to let me see her. I don't know what her situation is now..."
Situ Xingchen was impatient to listen to this, remembering the ex-father's confession, he asked softly, seemingly accidentally:
"His Majesty, the reason why your Majesty is like this is because of Qijiaoxiang. Do you know, what's going on there?"
