After settling Xin Lishan down, Yu Shu returned to her room with a heavy heart. She ordered the maids outside the door not to disturb her. In the dark of the study, she found the record of her prediction of Mr. Xinyou's death date and checked it several times.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world? The Xin father and son asked her to predict the person's birth date and eight characters were exactly the same.
Everyone knew that Yun Hua's son had died for his wife after Princess Luyue died of illness. Yu Shu had gotten a lot of information from Xin Lishan. Back then, he had told outsiders that Luyue had passed away in less than half a month after giving birth to Jing Chen. Yun Hua followed closely behind and died in the fourth month of the thirteenth year of Baotai.
Xin Ya told her that Mr. Xinyou's death date was between February and May. It was also after April that he heard the news of his death.
The father and son's statements coincided with each other. It was obvious that Yun Hua Yi's son was Mister Xin You.
Looking at her prediction, Mr. Xinyou met with two disasters in the 13th year of Baotai.
The first was a fire in February, but he survived and didn't lose his life.
The second was a bereavement at the beginning of May. He lost a relative. This relative was undoubtedly his wife, Princess Luyue.
In the eyes of the world, Yun Hua was a legend who had died many years ago. The date of his death was also a special day. It was the 5th of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, Yu Shu did not find any disaster on this day. There was no sign that he was about to die.
Obviously, Yun Hua "faked his death."
However, everyone thought that he was really dead, regardless of whether they thought that he had been killed or that he had committed suicide for love.
She tried hard to guess what happened twenty years ago. She guessed that Yun Hua disappeared after the fire. So Xin Ya said that the last time she saw him was in February. She guessed that after Yun Hua disappeared, the royal family could not find him, so after Princess Luyue died, they made up the story that he died for love. They let him "die."
So was Yun Hua still alive?
Yu Shu was not sure. Only when she used the Law of Time of Calamity to predict the disasters for him in the past twenty years could she confirm whether he was dead or alive.
"Twenty years. This isn't something that can be calculated in a day or two. It will take at least half a month. "Yu Shu rubbed her forehead anxiously. Suddenly, her fingers paused and she opened her eyes with a happy expression.
"Right, I can use the six lines!"
The Art of Six Lines could not determine life and death, but the Art of Six Lines had a section on good or bad luck. It could use the birth date of a child to determine whether the parents were healthy or not. Yao Yan only needed to get the date of birth of his parents.
The eight characters of Jing Chen's birth. Long after he regained his memories. She had already asked about it. Now that she knew Yun Hua's horoscope, she only needed to do a divination. Regardless of what happened to Jing Chen's parents, Princess Luyue was already dead. If it was not a hexagram, it would prove that both his parents were dead. If it was a hexagram, it would prove that Yun Hua was still alive!
Yu Shu did as she said. She hurriedly took out the small blue stove and the Tihu incense from the secret compartment of the bookcase.

In the afternoon, after reporting to Guo Huaian the progress of the investigation of the new murder case in Taishi Shuyuan, Xue Rui walked out of the Supreme Court alone.
The sun above their heads made people dizzy. The patrolling guards were already sweating. Xue Rui slowly waved the Mujiang fan in his hand, but he did not feel hot.
At this time, his mind was not thinking about the case, but the off-topic words that Guo Huaian had said to him just now.
"Just in time for this murder case. You were not able to come for the two days of the Aquatic Conference. Did you hear that the Celestial Commissioner's female officer Yu was appointed as the Miaoling Messenger by His Majesty? The day before yesterday, it really shocked this old man. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see with my own eyes the magic of a mortal who can summon wind and rain. Your sworn sister's ability is really amazing. "
Xue Rui had not heard the news that Yu Shu was given a title. He had been investigating the case in Taishi Shuyuan for the past two days and did not go home. He did not know that Yu Shu had quietly made such a name for herself.
Even he was taken aback by this.
After the surprise, he fell into deep thought.
Xue Rui dared to say that other than Yu Shu herself, he was the one who knew her best. Whether she could summon wind and rain or not, how could he not know?
Presumably, it was the same as the Death Sentence Strange Art. It was a battle that she had used opportunistically.
And the trigger that forced her to be eager to "show off" was probably the tragic death of Zhan Xueyuan.
"Alas." Xue Rui sighed softly, closed the fan, and touched his forehead. He knew that she would not "behave herself" and wait for him to come up with a plan.
But after not seeing her for a few days, she had already made such a big move. She was really swift and decisive, which made him feel both relieved and worried.
.....
Xue Rui returned to Wangji Tower. Hearing that there was a "guest" in the backyard, he did not disturb them. He changed into casual clothes downstairs and went to the second floor.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Shu sitting in the living room, holding a teacup in a daze. He could not help but stop and look at her.
Probably because she had thought too much, she had clearly lost weight in the past two days. The apricot-colored silk dress fitted her waist and shoulders, making her look even more delicate from head to toe. That plain face that did not have much femininity always had an inexhaustible spirit. Even if she was in a daze, it would not dissipate.
When Yu Shu came back to her senses, she found that Xue Rui was standing at the door. She did not know how long he had been standing there looking at her. His eyes were so focused that she immediately felt embarrassed.
"Cough, Big Brother is back …" Yu Shu cleared her throat, stood up, moved her numb legs, and sat back down.
Xue Rui walked to her side in a few steps, put away his fan, and sat opposite her.
"Did you not sleep well last night?"
Yu Shu shook her head.
Xue Rui raised his finger and swept it under her eyes, and said: "Your eyes are red, and you still say no."
Yu Shu smiled, and said: "It was not because I stayed up late. I was just touched by the incense just now, it is not a problem."
Xue Rui's nose moved, and he raised his eyebrows: "You used Tihu incense?"
"You have a good nose …" Yu Shu lifted her sleeve and sniffed. There was a little smell, but he could smell it even though they were separated by a few feet.
She did not know that Xue Rui was raised by Xue Lingnan since childhood. What he learned was not only temperament and strategy. In order to prevent the eldest grandson of the Xue family from being assassinated, Xue Lingnan's education could be said to be in all aspects.
What should be the smell of spices and herbs, what should not be the smell, Xue Rui only smelled it once, and he would remember it in his heart.
"Why do you need to use the Six Lines Divination?" Xue Rui asked.
Yu Shu crossed her hands in front of her stomach, and her eyes changed, "In the morning, I went to Xin Mansion to visit, and guess who I met on the street in front of the door?"
Xue Rui shook his head, and said: "I heard that you brought someone back, and he is resting in the guest room."
"It is the Fifth Master of the Xin family who was expelled, Xin Lishan, the top of the two rankings."
"Hmm?" Xue Rui heard something strange, and his body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes stared at her, "What happened?"
Yu Shu's lips moved a few times, and she suddenly stood up, went forward to close the door, and returned to her seat. She gritted her teeth, and whispered to him, "Big Brother, I told you not to be too surprised. I have calculated that the Eldest Shixiong whom I have no chance to meet, Yunhua Yizi, is still alive."
