Chapter 680: Accident (1)

Song Jingchen looked at the portraits one by one. There were some subtle differences between the women in each portrait.

However, without exception, they all had peach blossom eyes and were extremely beautiful.

Back then, when the Wu Kingdom was in chaos and the new emperor ascended the throne, perhaps to prevent gossip or because he felt guilty, he killed all the old servants in the Wu Kingdom’s palace. Therefore, apart from the people of the new emperor’s bloodline, very few people knew what Nangong Xia looked like.

Uncle Yang had probably gone through a lot of trouble to find out that she had escaped to Yangshu Village.

The other girl from the Sun family had inferior looks.

Fan Mingyuan frowned and analyzed, “If the Sun family really can’t bear to part with their daughter, shouldn’t they stay in the village and wait for Miss Sun to leave the palace at the right age?”

She Imew that it sounded strange. Shen Yijia suddenly understood and said, “That’s right. They moved away without even informing the villagers. Aren’t they afraid that Miss Sun won’t be able to find them after leaving the palace?”

Rooster scratched his head. “I asked the same thing. They said that after Miss Sun entered the palace, Madam Sun fell ill and couldn’t get up. The Sun family probably felt that every part of Yangshu Village was filled with memories of Miss Sun when she was by their side. They were afraid that Madam Sun would die from sadness, so they simply moved with their family. After all, not many women who entered the palace survived.”

This saying was not wrong. Didn’t many people choose to burn things related to that person out of fear of seeing them?

The Sun family could not burn down Yang Shu Village, so they could only move away.

“That Miss Sun only entered the palace. She’s not dead.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.

“I think Sister-in-law is right. Even if they really want to move, they have to at least confirm that Miss Sun is gone. They didn’t have to move the entire family as soon as she entered the palace. They seem to be hiding something.” What were they hiding?

Shen Yijia thought for a moment and glanced at the portrait on the table. Miss Sun should be about the same age as Nangong Xia. They both looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old.

Her eyes lit up. “Could it be that the person who entered the palace was not Miss Sun at all, but Nangong Xia?”

Everyone in the village knew Miss Sun. If they continued to live in Yangshu

Village, sooner or later, people would find out that they had used a substitute. Once someone reported it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. They would have to move away quickly.

Shen Yijia shook her head proudly. She was too smart.

Song Jingchen rubbed her head in amusement and put away all the portraits on the table. He said in a low voice, “I’ll bring the portraits to the palace tomorrow and show them to Aunt.”

Song Li had been in charge of the harem for more than ten years. She knew those people in the palace best.

If Nangong Xia really entered the palace in Miss Sun’s place…

Song Jingchen’s eyes darkened as he looked at One Dot and the others. “You’ve worked hard these past few days. It’s getting late. Go back and rest.”

‘Yes.”

After One Dot and the others left, Song Jingchen and Fan Mingyuan discussed

for a while before the three of them left the study.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, he saw Sister Huan and the others muttering something in the courtyard.

Shen Yijia leaned over curiously. “What are you doing?”

The few of them looked up and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Sister-in-law, come and see.” Sister Huan waved at her mysteriously.

The few of them moved aside to make room for her.

Only then did Shen Yijia see that they were surrounded by a small incense burner that was not much bigger than a palm. There was also a small basket beside it.

Incense was burning in the incense burner, and wisps of green smoke floated out.

What was there to see?

Shen Yijia was puzzled.

However, the shape of this incense burner was a little strange. It looked like a small snake coiling.

“Why does this look so real?” She said as she reached out her hand.

“Sister-in-law, you can’t!” Sister Huan and the others exclaimed at the same time, but it was too late.

“Ah!” Shen Yijia jumped up and said with a trembling voice, “How can it be real?”

Usually, she was not afraid of these things, because she would usually kill the snake before it could approach her.

This time, she was really unprepared. Who would have thought that the hard thing would be so smooth to the touch?

Shen Yijia had goosebumps.

“What’s going on?” Song Jingchen walked up with a dark expression.

The few of them didn’t expect Song Jingchen to be here, so they quickly stood up.

“Big Brother.”

“Brother-in-law.”

Song Jingchen first confirmed that Shen Yijia was fine before looking at the snake coiling around the incense burner and flicking its tongue at them.. He said coldly, “Where did this snake come from?”
