Master Gu, who was recuperating at the Princess Mansion, couldn't help but blush when he learned that Concubine Qi was the cause of Shen Siyi's death.

Mentioning Concubine Qi, she gritted her teeth and wished she could kill her with her own hands.

Shen Ningning was also quite sorry.

"My mother's drowning in the water was not an accident, but was caused by someone else. My father has been blaming himself these past few days and has locked himself in his room, so I have to spare a few days to spend some time with him. I won’t come here to visit Mr. Gu often. If you need anything, just ask the palace maids here.”

After she finished speaking, Master Gu suddenly straightened up: "Princess, what did you say? General, she fell into the water and drowned?"

Shen Ningning was about to leave when she heard the words and turned around, blinking her big eyes and nodded.

Suspicion rose on Master Gu's face.

"How is this possible..."

"Mr. Gu, have you thought of something? Is there a secret behind my mother's death?"

"I really don't know if there is a hidden secret, but I do know that General Shen, who was selected as the captain, has already gone through rigorous physical training. Needless to say, I can now fly in the thin air. We live a normal life here, but our lungs are different from yours. We can hold our breath underwater for up to an hour."

After their cruel experiences in the last days, their bodies have already become slightly different from those of the ancients.

Not to mention drowning, Shen Siyi is a general who is in charge of three hundred people and is going to open a new base on the moon. He is physically very strong.

There was no reason for her to drown like this.

"Did the General discover some secret underwater and leave?" Master Gu suddenly widened his eyes when he thought of this possibility.

Shen Ningning was shocked by his guess.

She shook her head decisively: "It's impossible. I also asked my father. If my mother was really that powerful, she shouldn't have died so easily. But my father said that he was the one who put my mother into the coffin with his own hands, and he was also the one who watched her with his own hands. Buried in a coffin."

Master Gu is skeptical.

"Princess, if the Prime Minister doesn't mind, I think it would be better to open the coffin and check. The general is very capable, maybe... he is really not dead!"

He comes from the end of the world, and his concept of life and death is not that serious.

But for Xie Suzhi, wanting to open Shen Siyi's grave many years after her death was an obstacle to her purity.

Therefore, even if it was brought up by Shen Ningning, he immediately rejected it.

"No, absolutely not!" He stood up immediately.

Xie Suzhi walked quickly to Shen Ningning and bent down to communicate with his daughter.

"Ning Ning," there was sadness in his eyes: "Dad knows it's hard for you to believe that your mother has passed away, but dad told you that I saw her body with my own eyes and buried it with my own hands. Got her."

As he said that, Xie Suzhi was a little annoyed: "Whoever is talking nonsense in front of you must have bad intentions. Bring him over immediately."

Shen Ningning heard the murderous intent in his tone and quickly grabbed her father's sleeve with her little hand.

"Dad, I know it's hard for you to accept it at the moment, but I think what that person said makes sense. Since my mother is so powerful, maybe she's not actually dead?"

Xie Suzhi's eyes turned red, he stood up and turned his back.

His voice became a little serious and cold: "Ning Ning, stop talking. Go ahead and leave dad alone for a while."

Shen Ningning hesitated to speak, her watery black eyes could only show a hint of regret.

She nodded obediently: "Dad, please think carefully, I'm going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

To ask Xie Suzhi to open the coffin was tantamount to asking him to hurt his deceased wife with his own hands.

Since ancient times, people have been paying attention to the burial. How could he actually dig a grave just because of someone else's few words?

Shen Ningning knew that she had to give him some time.

The little girl went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and happened to meet Lu Shaoyuan.

"Shen Ningning!" Lu Shaoyuan trotted over. The young man wearing a golden mink fur coat had a long and handsome face.

At this time, he frowned: "I heard from my brother today that the national master ran away."

Long before Qi Jingchun committed suicide, Shen Ningning reminded the emperor to arrest the imperial master.

Unexpectedly, the deceived Imperial Master was imprisoned and could actually escape!

"He definitely can't escape by himself. Someone must help him." Shen Ningning pondered, feeling extremely strange.

Since Qi Jingchun is dead and all the forces related to her have been eradicated, could it be that she still has an agent lurking in the capital?

Lu Shaoyuan nodded: "But the emperor has issued an imperial order and wanted notices are posted everywhere. I don't believe where else he can go!"

At this moment, a gentle call came from beside them.

"Ningning~"

The little girl turned around and saw Qi Xiuwei coming.

She suffered a heart attack due to her marriage, but fortunately she broke off the engagement and didn't have to marry someone she didn't like, so she recovered.

Seeing Qi Xiuwei again, Shen Ningning felt that she had a delicate smile and even her eyes were shining.

"Xiaowei, you haven't been to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time."

"I have been taking good care of myself some time ago, and I haven't had time to thank you. If you hadn't helped me, I would have had to work for someone else."

Qi Xiuwei patted her heart as she spoke, looking dangerous.

Recently, the Qi family has been deeply influenced by Qi Jingchun. Mrs. Qi cannot afford to fall ill, and even Mr. Qi is walking on thin ice in the officialdom.

In the whole family, Qi Xiuwei was the happiest.

No one is oppressing her anymore.

Shen Ningning laughed: "As long as the matter is resolved!"

After a while, Ye Changyi also came, and they went to class chatting and laughing.

Passing outside Mrs. Han's study, she saw Mo Zhirou standing inside with her head lowered, as if wiping tears.

Ye Changyi stood there full of gossip, grabbed Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei, and watched the fun together.

"Why is she crying?"

"He must have been trained by Master Han."

At this time, Liang Yici, who was passing by, glanced at them and said, "The Princess of Shu is going back to Shuzhou. Mo Zhirou doesn't want to go with her and wants to stay in the capital, so she wants to ask Master Han to come forward and convince the Princess of Shu to do it for her." The studies will stay.”

Shen Ningning didn't say anything after hearing this, but Ye Changyi started to fight for Princess Shu's injustice.

"The King of Shu has done such a rebellious thing. It's good that the Emperor didn't blame his family. Why is Mo Zhirou so ignorant? She wants Princess Shu to stay even if she doesn't want to go back. She's so selfish! "

But Shen Ningning guessed why Mo Zhirou insisted on staying in the capital.

Because the Princess of Shu was disheartened by the King of Shu, and after something happened to the King of Shu, the Emperor decreed that she should be free and innocent.

This means that after Princess Shu returns to Shuzhou, she can get married again without any consequences.

And Mo Zhirou had seen the prosperity of the capital, and she just wanted to stay here.

What's more, she is not Princess Shu's biological daughter, but she adopted her.

Master Han obviously rejected her request.

He was just a teacher, how could he have the nerve to discipline Princess Shu?

Mo Zhirou left in tears. When she went out, she saw Shen Ningning and the others nearby, as if they were watching her lively. Mo Zhirou's eyes flashed with reluctance.

She walked away quickly.

Qi Xiuwei sighed: "I think she will find other ways to stay."

"Whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with us anyway!" After Shen Ningning finished speaking, they left together.

A few days later, news came from the palace that the emperor was furious.

"Have you heard? Someone secretly reported to the Emperor that the Ninth Prince is not the Emperor's biological son, but the son of King Shu and Concubine Qi!"
