Over the next few days —
Chu Tianxiao would see an incomparably magical scene.
Of course, that hadn't happened yet.
Feng Wu had been with Princess Spirited Flame the whole time.
For some reason, Princess Spirited Flame had been treating Feng Wu better lately, and even neglected Shijian, Feng Wu's former maid.
Therefore, Feng Wu could now see clearly how the incident she directed was going to develop.
She realized that things had come to a standstill.
After killing the second prince and showing off in front of Emperor Dongsang, Princess Spirited Flame was punished by Ma Quanquan as soon as she returned to the manor.
Feng Wu didn't know exactly what Ma Quanquan had taught her, but judging from Princess Spirited Flame's dispirited expression, she must have tamed her anger.
She didn't even mention the second prince again.
Feng Wu thought to herself, "That won't do."
She had set up a series of plans, one after another. What was the point of getting stuck here? The death of the Second Prince was nothing to the East Mulberry Emperor, who had many sons, let alone the entire East Mulberry Kingdom. This did not cause any damage at all.
Feng Wu didn't go through all that trouble to sneak in and work as Princess Spirited Flame's maid just to kill the second prince.
She had to let this matter continue to develop until Duke Jing, Leng Yexiao, and Dong Sang Country were all involved. In the end, even her Third Senior Brother would be dragged into this.
That way, she wouldn't have to look for her third senior brother anymore. She could just meet him in person.
At that thought, Feng Wu stole a glance at Princess Spirited Flame.
Right now, Princess Spirited Flame was lounging on a soft couch with a disgusted look on her face and a fierce look in her eyes every now and then.
Seeing Feng Wu come in with tea, Princess Spirited Flame glanced at Feng Wu and said coldly, "Come here!"
Feng Wu cautiously walked up to her.
Staring at Feng Wu, Princess Spirited Flame snorted. "Do you know why I killed Leng Yeheng?"
Feng Wu shook her head.
Princess Spirited Flame then asked Shijian, "Do you know?"
Shijian was about to answer, when Princess Spirited Flame said indifferently, "Shijian, you were on duty that day. Tell me in detail what happened three nights ago."
The sword servant knelt down with a thud, a look of panic appearing on his face.
Countess Flame Spirit frowned when she saw her panicking. "So, you know?"
Shi Jian hurriedly shook her head, "This servant doesn't know, this servant really doesn't know …"
Princess Spirit Flame said coldly, "Since you know what happened that night, tell me the details. Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll even reward you."
Shi Jian hurriedly shook his head.
Princess Flame Spirit suddenly smiled, "Haven't you always wanted to serve my brother? Big Brother has also been asking you to go. Don't worry, as long as you help me this time, I'll send you to my brother, okay? "
A look of joy appeared in Shi Jian's eyes. She was just short of asking, "Princess, is this true?"
Fortunately, she restrained herself in the end.
However, while she could control her voice, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. Hence, Feng Wu noticed the disdain on Princess Spirited Flame's face.
However, Shijian, who was lowering her head due to shyness, didn't hear it.
Just when Shi Jian was about to speak, Feng Wu spoke first, "Princess, my stomach hurts. I'm in a hurry …"
Princess Spirit Flame glanced at her and said indifferently, "Alright, you can go now."
Feng Wu left in a hurry.
Princess Spirit Flame looked at Shi Jian and said indifferently, "Alright, it's just the two of us now. Just say what you want to say. It's okay if you say something wrong, I'll let you off the hook!"
Shi Jian looked at Princess Spirit Flame in surprise, "Princess, are you serious?"
Princess Spirit Flame said coldly, "Of course. When have I ever gone back on my words? Plus, my brother likes you so much. Do you think I'll really hurt you? When you become my brother's concubine, you'll still have to work for me. "
Shi Jian was even happier when she heard that. She thought about it and said to Princess Spirit Flame seriously, "That day, Yuexin was on duty in the inner room, while I was on duty outside."
Princess Spirit Flame nodded.
She had asked Shi Jian about it before, but the girl was tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything. She only said that she didn't know. Now that she had promised to give her to her brother, she could finally talk.
Shi Jian recalled carefully. "I didn't know what was going on in the inner room, but later, I saw a figure come back with a sack."
Princess Spirit Flame's eyes flickered with ferocity!
Who else could it be that had been carried back from outside that night?!
Princess Spirit Flame stared at Shi Jian. "And then?!"
Shi Jian's voice trembled. "And then … I didn't think much of it. I just thought that the person who came back with the sack looked familiar, but I was scared … so I didn't say anything."
Princess Spirit Flame gritted her teeth. "Why didn't you say anything?!"
Shi Jian said, "If … if that person had gone out with the sack, I wouldn't have just watched and said nothing. But that person came in with something … So, I thought that it wasn't stealing, so I didn't say anything. It was better to save trouble than to say anything."
"But on the second day, Sister Yue Xin …" Shi Jian took a deep breath, "At that time, I was even more afraid and didn't dare to say anything … So, when you asked me for the first time, I lied to you."
Princess Spirit Flame was secretly angry.
However, in order to force out more truth, Princess Spirit Flame suppressed the anger in her heart and stared at Shi Jian calmly.
"Didn't you say that the person who came in with the sack looked familiar? Who was that person? "
This person was the key!
Princess Spirit Flame thought coldly in her heart. This person should be one of the Second Prince's men.
At that time, she could use this evidence to accuse the Second Prince of kidnapping and make the East Sang Emperor speechless. Thinking of this, Princess Spirit Flame, who was originally listless, suddenly became spirited.
"Although I can't remember who he is, I am good at drawing. I can draw that person's portrait."
Princess Spirit Flame said, "Draw!"
How could someone who could work for Princess Spirit Flame not have any ability?
In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Shi Jian had drawn the portrait and presented it to Princess Spirit Flame.
Princess Spirited Flame squinted her eyes when she saw the painting.
This man …
Not to mention Shi Jian, she also felt that he looked familiar.
However, she couldn't remember who he was at the moment.
Who was he?
Where did she see him?
Princess Spirit Flame put her hands behind her back and frowned as she paced back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, Princess Spirit Flame's eyes lit up!
She had seen this person before. She had seen him at Leng Yexiao's mansion!
It was him!
Princess Spirit Flame quickly locked on to one person!
"That's the guard of Prince Jing's mansion … Prince Jing always keeps him by his side." Princess Spirit Flame gritted her teeth and stared at Shi Jian. "Are you sure he was the one who brought me back?!"
Shi Jian cried. "Princess, everything I said is true. Not a single word is a lie. It's all true!"
Princess Spirit Flame frowned. "It's a dark and windy night. Who doesn't cover their face when they commit murder and arson to prevent others from knowing who they are? Why would this person show his face? "
Shi Jian said, "Junzhu, this person's face was indeed covered with a black cloth, but at that time, Lord Ma came very quickly. In his panic, when he leaped over the tree branch, the black cloth was accidentally lifted by the tree branch, so I saw his entire face."
"Is there such a coincidence?" Princess Spirit Flame frowned.
Seeing Princess Spirit Flame's doubt, Shi Jian was so anxious that she cried. "Princess, it's true. Everything I said is true."
Princess Spirit Flame was neither anxious nor angry. She simply said, "I also hope that everything you said is true. If you can prove that what you said is true, I will naturally reward you."
Shi Jian said, "I still remember which tree. Can I take you to see it? Perhaps there is an aura on that branch? "
Princess Spirit Flame said, "Lead the way."
Very quickly, Shijian brought Countess Flame Spirit to an ancient tree that was so thick that it would take ten people to wrap their arms around it.
"Princess, it's this tree," Shi Jian said confidently.
Princess Spirit Flame carefully examined the tree. At first, she didn't notice anything, but soon, she saw a footprint on the tree.
It was clearly a man's footprint.
"Eh?"
