They didn't expect such a direct rejection. The Fu sisters were stunned.
Song Qingshu opened his mouth, but wisely chose not to say anything in the end. He felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
"Why are you like this? Are you not going to care about what happened in Western Xia?" Fu Junyu was a little more impulsive than her sister. She couldn't help but ask.
"You said that the Japanese killed your people, where is the evidence?" Yelu Nanxian asked.
"Evidence …" Fu Junyu was stunned. "We heard it with our own ears, how can it be fake?"
Yelu Nanxian shook her head. "You are related to the victims, your testimony is not valid. The people from other countries won't believe you."
"And him, he heard it too." Fu Junyu pulled Song Qingshu over. Actually, she was lying. Song Qingshu wasn't there at the time, but she believed that with their friendship, he wouldn't make things difficult for her.
As expected, Song Qingshu hesitated but didn't say anything.
Yelu Nanxian's gaze fell on their linked hands. Her tone became colder. "He is in charge of this case, but his testimony is still not convincing. Otherwise, he won't be able to find the truth. How can he convince the public if he just casually says that one of them is the murderer?"
Song QingShu nodded in agreement. Just based on their side of the story, the Japanese would be able to deny it.
"This won't do, that won't do, what do you want?!" Fu Junyu was going crazy.
Yelu Nanxian sighed, "I've already said it so many times, evidence ah, when handling a case, it's all about irrefutable evidence. I can't possibly go convict another country's envoy just because of your empty words."
Fu Junyu wanted to say more, but Fu Junyu stopped her. "We understand. Thank you, Crown Princess."
Seeing that the two girls were about to leave, Song Qingshu felt awkward. He couldn't leave, but he also couldn't stay. He could only remind them. "The Japanese are now guarding the Gaoli Guesthouse …"
Yelu Nanxian frowned and waved her hand at the people beside her, "Men, send someone to send these two ladies back. Bring more people from Class One Hall with you. The other two ladies are injured, let them sit in my carriage."
"Yes!" Someone had already started to choose experts to escort them.
"Many thanks, Crown Princess." Fu Junyi hastily bowed to express her gratitude. Normally, she wouldn't need to do such a thing. But now that the two of them were seriously injured, Fu Junyi's gesture was like sending charcoal in snowy weather. No matter how arrogant the Dong Ying people were, they wouldn't dare to openly attack the imperial chariot of the Crown Princess of Xixia in the territory of Xixia.
Before leaving, Fu Junyu couldn't help but look at Song Qingshu. "Aren't you coming with us?"
Before Song Qingshu could reply, Yelu Nanxian grabbed his arm, "I still have something to discuss with Young Master Jia, please return first."
Fu Junyu pouted, but she had just received a favor from Song Qingshu, so it was not good for her to refuse. She could only glare fiercely at Song Qingshu before leaving with her sister.
"That little girl's eyes were full of hidden bitterness." After the two sisters left, Yelu Nanxian dismissed the other subordinates as well, leaving only her and Song Qingshu in the room. I Love Reading Network
Sensing the different meaning in her tone, Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "Nanxian, I'm surprised that you're jealous." She had always been arrogant. Although they had a good relationship, they always felt that they were more than friends, but not lovers. After all, their relationship was only because of that accident …
Now that he saw that she was jealous, how could Song Qingshu not be happy?
"Who's jealous!" Yelu Nanxian blushed and hurriedly denied, "Also, I'm not making things difficult for them because of you. They're just too unreliable. If I had real evidence, I could have asked Class One Hall to help me take care of those Dong Ying people. But they don't have any evidence, so how can I let Xixia get involved in the battle of another country?"
Song Qingshu nodded in understanding, "That's right. I thought Fu Junyu was impulsive, but I didn't expect her sister to be so unreliable as well. She actually fought with the Dong Ying people without any evidence. If I knew this, I wouldn't have brought them." He didn't know the situation at that time and just thought that the two sisters rushed out together to take revenge.
Yelu Nanxian was interested, "You found out? How did you find out that it was the Dong Ying people?"
Only then did Song Qingshu roughly tell her about the Dong Ying ninja's assassination attempt. Of course, he only briefly mentioned the matter involving the princess.
"Why does the princess always go to your place?" Yelu Nanxian's sixth sense told her that there was something wrong.
Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Actually, I've been thinking about who leaked the information."
"What do you mean?" Seeing his serious expression, Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but feel nervous.
"The princess came to me saying that she had crucial information about the murder case, but then I was assassinated by the Dong Ying people. At that time, only the Southern Song people heard about it, I don't know who informed the Dong Ying people. "Song Qingshu's expression was solemn.
"Could it be that the Peerless City of the Dual Cultivators leaked the information?" Yelu Nanxian asked.
Song Qingshu shook his head, "No, the princess didn't know anything about the murder case, she just made it up in the Southern Song Guesthouse …"
Suddenly, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange and quickly shut his mouth. Yelu Nanxian said with a half-smile, "Oh ~ so the princess found an excuse to meet you."
"Ahem …" Song Qingshu hurriedly drank some tea to hide the awkwardness in his heart. Talking about another woman in front of another woman, no matter how he looked at it, wasn't a wise choice.
Yelu Nanxian didn't pursue the matter any further, she stopped joking around and said seriously, "Don't go around fooling around for the next few days, the betrothal contest will officially start tomorrow, don't make it so that you can't be found by then, Qinglu will be furious."
"Oh, it starts tomorrow?" Song Qingshu's expression changed.
Yelu Nanxian nodded, "After a discussion with Wan Qing and Qinglu, we decided that the betrothal contest will be divided into a martial test and a literary test. I don't know if it's because the prince is too tempting, or because Qinglu's beauty has spread far and wide, but there are too many people here, so we will first have a martial test to eliminate some of them, then the top 32 will enter the literary test."
Song Qingshu was speechless, "So many people, only 32 can advance, the process must be very cruel, how are you going to compete?"
Yelu Nanxian took out a scroll and pointed at it, explaining, "First, we will participate in the preliminary selection, then we will be randomly assigned four people to a group, the final winner will participate in the next elimination round; the elimination round will be a two-on-one battle, the winner will continue to advance, and so on."
Song Qingshu frowned, "There are two questions, first, did they prepare for the various countries' princes and princesses, if a few important people meet in the group at the beginning, and only one can advance, it will cause dissatisfaction from all sides; the other question, if you lose in the elimination round, you will be eliminated?"
