Chapter 118 Already planned
Chu Yan and Shen Yindi asked the question almost at the same time.
Master Xu stroked his beard, thinking, "The year before you went to war, the Imperial College was robbed. After checking, they found that the stolen items were actually the homework you usually wrote."
"At that time, I thought someone coveted your talent and stole your homework on purpose. I sent people to investigate, but there was no clue. Later, the matter was left unresolved. But I didn't dare to make it public."
"Now that I think about it, maybe it has something to do with what happened to you back then."
Shen Yindi was shocked when he heard this.
One year before the expedition?
Was it planned so early?
The first thing she thought of was the evidence she had heard before that was used to convict Chu Yan.
"Could it be that those people stole your homework in order to imitate your handwriting? Didn't you say before that there was a secret letter in which you colluded with foreign enemies?"
Chu Yan's face was solemn.
In fact, he was the first person to think of this when the Grand Tutor mentioned this just now.
It is not difficult to imitate someone's handwriting, but it is difficult to imitate the real thing! Especially to deceive the emperor's eyes.
That will definitely take some effort.
There are many talented people in the world, so it is not surprising that someone can write to that level.
However, the clue provided by Master Xu only verified some of their guesses and was of no help to the current situation.
Master Xu's face was filled with anger: "Despicable!"
"Master, please don't get sick from being so angry. Since the Emperor has allowed us to investigate privately, that means he has given us a chance! As long as we work hard to find new clues, we can reopen the case!" Shen Yindi comforted.
"How can it be easy? Those people did it secretly. I'm afraid that those who knew the inside story have been silenced long ago!" Master Xu sighed and shook his head.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will never give up!"
Shen Yindi is still very confident.
"When the emperor punished you, I felt it was a disaster for the Great Chu!"
"You are such an outstanding talent, it is rare to see one in a century! I don't believe that the emperor doesn't know!"
Shen Yindi thought, maybe it was because he knew this that the emperor kept him alive. He didn't even take away his title. Maybe he was also fantasizing about something.
It’s just that the emperor should be a contradictory person, and no one can guess what he is thinking.
"Anyway, we are trying to find it now."
Master Xu sighed.
"Then I, the teacher, have to do something for you." He made a new decision.
"Master, please don't do anything risky for me. We have already asked a very powerful martial arts sect to help us investigate." Chu Yan reminded him.
"Master, the prince is right. Don't worry. Leave this matter to us."
"Where do you and Miss Lu live now?" Shen Yindi changed the subject.
"A mansion near the Imperial College."
The former Grand Tutor must have had his own mansion, but Grand Tutor Xu was used to living a simple life.
Shen Yindi nodded and said, “That’s still quite far away.”
"Teacher, is Miss Lu really your granddaughter?" Chu Yan asked curiously.
According to his memory, Xu Taifu's wife died early and left him no children. He was a very loyal and stubborn person. After his wife died, he never remarried. He was alone.
"No, she is the child of one of my former students. The couple went out to study. They entrusted their daughter to me. I saw that the child was well-behaved, studious, and had a good relationship with me, so I have been taking care of her myself."
"Could it be Lord Lu Zhen's daughter?"
"Yes, it is indeed him." Master Xu has not denied it yet.
"Who is Lord Lu Zhen?" Shen Yindi asked curiously.
Suddenly a new character appeared and she wanted to take note of it.
"He was the former Minister of War."
"The year after your incident, he resigned from his post. He said he wanted to travel and study. I don't know how he convinced the emperor. The emperor agreed."
Shen Yindi nodded thoughtfully. Is it such a coincidence?
"So what's he like?"
"Lu Zhen is an honest and upright person. I can see clearly what kind of student he is. He was also one of the people who admired Yun Yi the most back then."
Shen Yindi looked at Chu Yan, who nodded.
It seems that anyone who believed in and admired Chu Yan had left the court.
"Did they say when they will be back?" Shen Yindi really wanted to see them.
Speaking of this, Master Xu sighed again: "No, it's been four years, and there has been no news."
"Didn't you send anyone to look for it?"
"I looked for it, but there is no news."
Chu Yan pursed his lips and his face did not look very good.
Shen Yindi thought, is this such a coincidence? Could it be related to what happened to Chu Yan back then?
That night, Master Xu and Lu Jiayao stayed here for dinner before going back. Shen Yindi asked Uncle Fu to take them there in a carriage.
Today, Chu Yan met his teacher whom he hadn't seen for a long time and knew his attitude towards him. He was very happy and touched.
Whether it is Mu Ningyuan or the Grand Tutor, they are people who believe in him, so he feels that he has more power.
After dinner, Shen Yindi went to give Si Qi acupuncture.
When she saw Si Yin, she did not forget to ask, "Pavilion Master, did you go to Yichun Tower today?"
Si Yin shook her head: "I was going to go, but was delayed in the afternoon because of something."
Afterwards, she told Si Yin what happened at Yichun Tower today.
At the end, she did not forget to remind him: "Since Wenrouxiang did not succeed this time, they will surely think of other ways to snatch Sister Ziyan. She is a hot commodity in their eyes now!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yin frowned slightly.
The land of gentleness?
He didn't say anything, but just replied in a low voice: "I'll go and take a look tomorrow."
"Okay, if possible, please help me protect Sister Zi Yan. She is a really good person and should not be caught in a place like the Land of Enchantments!" Shen Yindi did not forget to remind her.
She has too many things on her hands right now.
She can't afford to divide her attention to take care of so many things, so she will definitely share what can be shared.
"it is good."
So the next morning, Si Yin went to Yichun Building.
Today, Yichun Building has undergone major changes, but the place where they live has not changed.
Zi Yan still lives on the third floor.
She has no other hobbies and doesn't like going out to play. She just writes music when she has nothing to do.
She was a little surprised to see Si Yin coming so early.
Si Yin still wore the mask.
"Why did you come here so early today, sir?"
"I heard someone came to cause trouble yesterday, so I came to take a look."
Zi Yan welcomed him into the room. After hearing what he said, she sighed softly, "It's really annoying. But A Di told me not to be afraid and that nothing would happen to me."
"Then just listen to Miss Shen and don't worry." Si Yin was not good at comforting people, and his words were still a little stiff at this moment.
Zi Yan smiled and said, "Actually, with A Di here, I'm not afraid at all."
"It's a pity that I didn't learn some martial arts to protect myself." There was a hint of regret in her tone.
"It's okay, no one can touch you."
"Thank you for your concern, young master." Zi Yan smiled again.
She smiles beautifully and brightly, giving people a warm feeling.
Si Yin nodded, looking a little dazed for a moment.
Mu Ningyuan would still send news back to the Hunting Villa from Chu Yan and the others.
On the fifth day of hunting, he received explosive news in a secret letter.
