Chapter 5 My son’s
Jiang Wenyu didn't know what the old grudge was between Tan Shu and Xie Zhiwei.

For what happened today, she had to thank the generous prince for pushing Xie Zhiwei by accident.

If someone else was in charge of the case, she would have no chance of telling the truth.

If she had the same ending as her previous life and died miserably in prison, wouldn't her life be in vain?

Xie Zhiwei mobilized his men to secretly protect Jiang Wenyu when he left the capital.

Under the emperor's order, he was about to set off.

"Brother Xie, how many days will you leave the capital?" Jiang Wenyu said with eyes full of reluctance.

Xie Zhiwei said: "Don't worry, it won't be too long."

"That case..."

"I'll let my men check it out."

Xie Zhiwei added: "Don't worry, they will protect you too."

Jiang Wenyu said earnestly: "Yes!"

Xie Zhiwei didn't want to explain what the marriage was about.

He had already regarded her as his private property.

In Jiang Wenyu's place, Xie Zhi's danger is always safe.

He firmly believed that no matter what, Jiang Wenyu would choose to forgive him and protect him forever.

Xie Zhiwei left the capital at night.

When Jiang Wenyu came out of Yuxiang Tower, Qin Yue waited anxiously, and immediately greeted her when he saw her.

"Cousin, I just saw that His Highness the Crown Prince brought a group of people in. Are you safe?"

Jiang Wenyu removed most of the big stone that was weighing on his heart and nodded: "Go back."

In the carriage, Jiang Wenyu rolled up the cuff of his left hand and pulled it up. The white cloth wrapped around his arm was stained bright red with blood.

The smell of blood wafted through the nostrils.

Fortunately, her ear had been stained with someone else's blood, otherwise with Xie Zhiwei's keenness, she would have discovered that she had written the threatening letter with her own blood.

It's a fake thing.

Others imitated her handwriting to prescribe poison, and she imitated other people's handwriting to write letters.

Compared to the punishment I received in my previous life, this little pain is nothing.

Jiang Wenyu leaned against the carriage and touched his earlobe, still a little scared.

The crazy prince really wanted to kill her the moment he fired the arrow.

Hope never to meet him again.

However, things always backfire.

The next day, it was bright in the east.

The morning dew on the lotus leaves in the pond gathered into clumps and rolled down into the pool, making the waves sparkle.

The faint croaking of frogs could be heard outside the window, as well as the rustle of a broom sweeping leaves.

A beam of light passed through the window lattice and reflected on the dressing table.

Jiang Wenyu woke up to Qin Yue's cry.

"Cousin! Cousin!"

Jiang Wenyu opened the curtain and said, "Come in."

Qin Yue rushed in and shouted in a panic: "Cousin, it's not good! Kaifeng Mansion sent someone to the mansion and asked you to go to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as you wake up."

Jiang Wenyu frowned slightly, and a bad feeling suddenly came to his mind.

Isn't Jin Yiwei investigating the case?

Why let her go to Kaifeng Mansion?Is it possible that I still can’t escape being tortured to extract confessions?
Jiang Wenyu's face turned pale and ugly.

"Cousin..." Qin Yue wasn't sure what she was thinking.

Jiang Wenyu closed his eyes and opened them again after a while. The sleepiness in his eyes was much less.

She said: "Wash up and get ready to go to Kaifeng Mansion."

Everyone was invited to the house, and it would look like she was guilty of committing a crime if she didn't go.

After washing up, Jiang Wenyu, puzzled, got into the carriage and drove to Kaifeng Mansion.

Once again, she becomes familiar again. Her mentality today is much more stable than yesterday.

After getting off the carriage, a servant of Kaifeng Mansion had been waiting in front of the door. Qin Yue could not follow him too closely, so she had to wait outside the hall.

In the study, Tan Shu was sitting in the main seat, casually looking through the reports written by Wu Zuo and the clues found by Jin Yiwei. "Your Majesty, have you had breakfast?" Zhangyan, the governor of Kaifeng, looked at Tan Shu flatteringly, "The official sent someone to make breakfast."

Tan Shu said without thinking: "I won't eat."

Zhang Yan flashed with disappointment, but still had a smile on his face, "I dare to ask the crown prince, are you in charge of Lin Qu's case now?"

Lin Qu's case was handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince by him yesterday, and he also heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had handed it over to the Jin Yiwei, but he didn't hear that the Crown Prince wanted to investigate!

Tan Shu glanced at him coldly: "Are you brave? If you are brave, you can feed it to the wolf. It just so happens that there is a wolf in the Hou Mansion that likes fat meat."

"Understood dare not!"

When Zhang Yan met Tan Shu's eyes, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. When he trembled, the flesh on his face also trembled.

"Master, my cousin is here." The servant shouted at the door.

Zhang Yan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said quickly: "Let her in quickly!"

Jiang Wenyu crossed the threshold and met the gaze of Tan Shu as soon as he entered the door and raised his eyes.

His eyes were extremely dull and devoid of any emotion.

Last night in Yuxiang Tower, the distance between the two of them was a bit far, and due to the darkness, she didn't see his appearance clearly, and she only saw it clearly today.

Tan Shusheng had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a high bridge of nose, straight bones, cold white skin, and a pair of dark eyes.

He is a lovely and extremely handsome man, but he always seems to have a smile on his lips, which makes people feel scary.

Jiang Wenyu saluted slightly: "I have met the Crown Prince."

Tan Shu stared at the girl who was walking against the light, and waved his hand to signal her to excuse herself.

He looked at Zhang Yan again and said without comment: "You, get out."

Zhang Yan didn't get what he wanted, so he hurriedly resigned.

There were only two people left in the study.

Jiang Wenyu was naturally resentful of Zhang Yan's beatings in his previous life, but now that he couldn't see it, he felt more forgiving.

Tan Shu took a rough look at the person in front of him, and he seemed to be well-behaved...

Those with thin arms and legs are indeed quite weak.

Well-behaved to the point of being a bit cowardly.

Jiang Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he asked aloud: "I wonder what the prince's instructions are for summoning the daughter of the people here?"

Tan Shu tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, with a lazy posture, and asked, "Did you kill Lin Qu?"

Tan Shu went straight to the point and had no intention of wasting time on Jiang Wenyu.

Jiang Wenyu didn't know what he meant, but still replied: "No."

Tan Shu said nothing.

There was a brief silence.

Jiang Wenyu suspected that he was engaging in psychological warfare, waiting for her to break down and admit her crime.

After a moment, Tan Shu looked at Jiang Wenyu and smiled.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the letter in his hand, and asked her: "Cousin, does your cousin know what this is?"

That was the blood letter she gave to Xie Zhiwei yesterday. How did it fall into Tan Shu's hands?
Jiang Wenyu had thousands of thoughts in her heart, and she raised her eyes to meet his smiling eyes.

Don't think that the prince smiles often and thinks that he is a kind-hearted person. When he looks at people with a smile, the sharpness in his eyes can chop people into pieces.

Jiang Wenyu managed to survive despite his sharp edge.

She blinked and said calmly: "The letter I gave to Brother Xie yesterday."

"It says [you die, or he dies]."

Tan Shu turned the side where he was writing to himself, with an unknown smile on his lips: "If Lin Qu is still alive, will my cousin have to die?"

Jiang Wenyu felt secretly moved in his heart and said, "The prince is really good at joking."

Tan Shu rolled his eyes around her face several times, and then asked, "My cousin, does she know whose handwriting this is?"

Jiang Wenyu shook his head, his eyes clear and innocent: "A civilian girl doesn't know."

"really?"

"I dare not deceive the prince."

After a moment of silence, Tan Shu pressed the letter on the table with his hand wrapped in medicine and tapped it with his fingertips.

He tilted his head slightly and stared into Jiang Wenyu's eyes. After pausing for a while, he said leisurely:
"My prince's."
