Chapter 367： Doubt (two more) (1/2)
Royal palace.
When Chu Liuyue arrived with Chu Ning, Emperor Jiawen and the queen were already waiting in the hall.
Sitting below were Rong Jin and Situ Xingchen.
On the other side, there was another person-Rong Jiu.
Chu Liuyue has heard Chu Ning talk about what happened before, so it is not surprising that Rong Jiu is here.
Her eyes quickly swept across several people in the hall.
Emperor Jiawen had no expression on his face, but his eyes were gloomy.
The queen was a lot more haggard than the last time I saw it, as if she was a teenager suddenly older.
It can be seen that these recent events have tortured her not lightly.
When Rong Jin saw Chu Liuyue, a complex expression flashed across his face.
In his hand, he held a hairpin.
Chu Liuyue guessed that it was the one they said before that they found Rong Zhen in their backyard.
Both Situ Xingchen and Rong Jiu looked calm and could not see anything.
Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue saluted in turn.
Emperor Jiawen let the two sit down.
”Well, now that everyone is here, then... let's start!”
Emperor Jiawen had run out of patience, so he opened the door directly, looked at Situ Xingchen, and asked in a deep voice:
”Xingchen, you said before that you have seen Liuyue and Zhenzhen together, but is it true?”
Situ Xingchen got up and saluted.
”In response to your Majesty, the stars dare not speak arrogantly, and the words are true. Because the Jiuyou Pagoda caught fire that day, the stars remember it very clearly. After the Jiuyou Pagoda collapsed, the Taiyan Academy was about to leave on the next day, so I I went back to pack my luggage soon. I didn't expect to see Rong Zhen and Chu Liuyue on the road.
Emperor Jiawen asked:
”Are there anyone else?”
”There is an old man in a black robe, but I don't see his face.”
”Then have you heard what they said?”
”I didn't hear it at a distance. But seeing them walking very close, I thought they had a good relationship. I didn't expect that later...”
Emperor Jiawen's face grew colder.
The old man in the black robe who followed was definitely Si Meng.
If Situ Xingchen was telling lies, how could she know the existence of Si Meng?
”Actually, after seeing this scene that day, I was still a little strange.” Situ Xingchen raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jiawen, and said hesitantly, ”Because that day, your Majesty just gifted the marriage to the divorced Wang and Chu Liuyue. So I saw her and Rongrong. Together, I have been wondering for a long time.”
Everyone knew it.
This time is too special.
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 the marriage.
Besides, who doesn't know that there was a conflict between the two?
They are really suspicious together.
Emperor Jiawen asked:
”What happened later? Did you see where they went?”
Situ Xingchen shook his head:
”At the time, I just looked at it from a distance and left because I was rushing back. I don't know where they are going.
Emperor Jiawen nodded: ”Sit down.”
