Song Yao spent the entire night reading several books on the official history of the affairs in the bookstore. After some thought, she quickly figured out the identity of the so called "Chu Gongzi" based on the name of "Rong Chu".

Furthermore, the previous Crown Prince's tutor, Xu Zhengyuan, had successfully caught her attention. The name of Marquis Gongsun Xiao had also made her realize that Xiao Palace's Falcon was not only a general, he was actually a marquis as well.

But in the end, she could not choose her fate.

The expression of Rong Chu in front of him could be said to be filled with mixed feelings, but it was merely his usually expressionless face that was flushed red, adding to the awkwardness. However, when Song Yao saw his expression, she really wanted to laugh.

She had never thought that the Crown Prince would be so innocent, so devoted to the cause of home.

"When did you know my identity?" Rong Chu finally asked.

"Just now." Song Yao said unhurriedly, "I had guessed more than half of it. Your performance confirmed it for me."

"How did you know?" Rong Chu did not dawdle and asked directly.

"Didn't I already tell you? It was just a guess."

"I'll give you one more chance to answer."

Song Yao said helplessly, "Actually, I had my suspicions from the Teacher Xu first. I asked my mother, and she said that she had served the Teacher Xu before, and there was nothing strange about that, but my mother recognized the cloth you wear, the clothes you wear are not something that normal rich and powerful people can bear."

After she said that, she paused for a while and said, "Oh, I also read about that in the book yesterday, but it's of no use because I already guessed seventy to eighty percent of it. "Since my mother has served Teacher Xu before and you are an influential and influential person, it can be seen that your status is extraordinary. After all, you have an imposing aura about you that allows you to be obedient in front of my Teacher Xu, which is truly rare."

"Later on, we will meet again in the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. Since Gongsun Xiao is a general, to be able to sit on equal footing with him and have to be dealt with by him, he naturally has to be someone with great authority. In addition to what he read in the book yesterday, His Majesty had a total of eighteen sons. His third, fourth, and seventeenth sons had all died before the age of one year, leaving behind fifteen sons. The Tenth Prince was only seven years old. Other than second son Rong Chu, the other sons all had mediocre aptitudes. As a result, His Majesty went along with the will of the people and took the second son as the crown prince, serving as the Minister for Rites, Xu Zhengyuan. At that time, he took Xu Zhengyuan as his teacher. "

"Moreover, you told me that your surname is Chu and that the crown prince's tutor is surnamed Xu. Is there anything more coincidental than this?"

Seeing Rong Chu not saying a word, Song Yao replied: "No more."

"When did you meet Zi Yanghou?"

Rong Chu suddenly asked. For a moment, Song Yao was stunned, she did not expect his main point to be so crooked.

"This is my private matter, I don't need to tell you, I have come here to ask you, what I know, especially the location of the Teacher Xu, if you could redress a grievance, could it make you, a prince who loves his people, more worthy of your title?"

She looked at Rong Chu with a determined gaze. After a long while, the energy in her body had disappeared, and Song Yao even noticed that this cold and indifferent looking crown prince seemed to be unexpectedly having some fun.

"How can you be sure that this is an injustice?" Rong Chu seemed to snort disdainfully.

Song Yao actually wasn't very sure about this, but she had to try and fight for it. It was always good to have a bit of hope, so she said: "I am very sure that this is an injustice."

"Where's the evidence?" Rong Chu extended his hand out towards her, seeing that she had not moved for a moment, he said: "You are indeed intelligent, but intelligence is often misunderstood, this matter involves officials of the imperial court, it is not something you can do with just a few words, you better think about it carefully."

He looked up and saw that Song Yao had already placed her hand on top of his palm. "There is indeed no evidence, but like you, I am also passionate about my fists, for the world, for the people."

Rong Chu quickly retracted her hand, but Song Yao did not. She put her hand in the air, and her eyes shined: "Why don't you trust me this one time? "If I am truly wrong, then punish me. If what I say is the truth, then I promise that I will wear this hat that will help you make the decision."

"I don't need it." Rong Chu waved her hand.

"Ha" Song Yao laughed and retracted his hand, "Your expression is the same as when you tried to take advantage of me.

"How dare you!"

"Fine, fine, fine. I'm bold, I'm impudent, I'm rude, okay?"

Rong Chu: "You …"

"Your Highness, I only need you to give me an order to reopen this case. The rest of the painstaking work is mine, and the consequences will be borne by me. If you get the name, if I am punished for the bad, why not?"

Rong Chu did not utter a word, as though he was thinking about something.

"How about this, do you still remember the maize that was being cultivated in the Teacher Xu?"

The eyes of the person in front suddenly changed, and in that instant, they were filled with killing intent. Song Yao was pressured to the point that her legs went weak, and stuttered: "Don't be agitated, I just want to tell you, if you help me with this, I will tell you where the book I read is."

Rong Chu looked at her, half believing and half doubting.

Song Yao continued to speak: "I know that you are most worried about one thing, and that is if you really start a conflict with a neighboring country, as long as the three nations form an alliance and cut off their supply of food, their country will be in danger. So finding another good seed, is that what you care about the most?"

Rong Chu's eyes turned cold, his expression was magnanimous, as if he did not get any reaction from being poked in the middle. Song Yao sighed, "How about we work together? "You help me with this, and I'll help you with your problems. What do you say?"

After a long period of silence, Rong Chu asked: "How do I believe you?"

Song Yao laughed, "Didn't you already believe it? Moreover, there is no doubt about it, and there is no doubt about it. There is no need to doubt others, there is no meaning in saying that we trust them. "

Just as Song Yao was waiting for his answer, Rong Chu suddenly knocked on the table. Instantly, the window was opened, and the sunlight shone in, shining everyone's eyes.

Song Yao subconsciously covered her eyes, perfectly missing the surprise on Rong Chu's face.

When she opened her eyes, Rong Chu's back was already facing her. In his hand was a fan, he was waving it rhythmically.

A moment later, the fan stopped and he said: "I'll agree to your request. But you have to be prepared. If you lie to me then the price will be higher than you think."

Song Yao acknowledged and then let out a sigh of relief: "Since that's the case, then please give me your order to see Big Sister Feng, and also to prevent any further torture."

Rong Chu acknowledged.

Song Yao's heart calmed down, and said: "I'll be troubling Your Highness, I'll take my leave first."
