The security of the Duke's Mansion of Anguo is quite strict. Apart from the guards raised by themselves, many of the families in the capital will be raised by some capable people in the rivers and lakes, but they can't stop Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin's footsteps.

The two of them avoided five or six groups of patrolling guards along the way, and finally arrived at the study of Duke Anguo's mansion.

Sure enough, the lights were on here.

The husband and wife looked at each other and landed on the roof silently.

Gu Lin lifted a tile, and the scene in the study appeared in front of his eyes.

In addition to An Guogong and his son, there is also a man in black.

It's him!Gu Lin's eyes changed almost invisibly.

Mu Zhixu didn't ask, the two continued to stare at the study room, Duke An's expression was not very good.

The man in black's expression was not very clear, but his voice was not warm, "The Lord wants to kill Marquis Dingyuan and Princess Yaoguang to death."

"I'm afraid it's not right." The old Duke frowned deeply, "Who doesn't know that the relationship between Marquis Dingyuan and Princess Shuhua is like fire and water, and you can't touch him."

Marquis Dingyuan was as cold as iron, and he never pretended to talk to his biological mother, this is well known.

"Is it possible that the bloodline can be cut off?" The man in black snorted.

"Or is the Song family afraid of trouble? Don't forget that this is the Lord's explanation."

Once the Song family boarded the boat, it was impossible to leave.

The old Duke's complexion changed, "No, but isn't there still something for Lord Yaoguang?"

He really didn't understand.

"Based on Emperor Tai'an's trust in the two of them, even if they fight, they won't kill them."

An Guogong and his son understood, that is to say, Princess Yaoguang only needs to save one life.

"What else?" The man in black was a little impatient seeing the two hesitate.

The dignified Duke was yelled at by a servant, and the eyes of the old Duke and An Guogong were filled with anger.

"Princess Shuhua..."

"Not enough success, more than failure." The man in black just said a few words.

……

The man in black left, and Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin quietly chased after him.

In the Duke's mansion, Duke An and his son were silent for a long time before speaking, "Father, following such a person, we..."

The old Duke understood his son's words, and Princess Shuhua had done so many things for him, even her own son was killed as soon as she wanted, but the result was good, and she gave up when something happened.

Both father and son felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

But the Song family has already boarded the thief ship, and it will not be easy to think about it.

More than ten years ago, King Zhenbei approached the Song family first. At that time, they didn't know that Song Xianning was not a member of the Song family, but King Zhenbei told them.

The old Duke personally asked the old wife for proof, and only then did he know that when his daughter was born, it happened that the wife of the Song family in Nanzhao concealed her identity and was working in Dayan. It was calculated that she was born prematurely and changed the child.

They didn't know about it from the Nanzhao Song family until the child was ten years old.

At that time, they couldn't tell clearly, and they were afraid that others would know about it, so they had to be threatened by the Song family in Nanzhao to keep the child.

And their child died long ago.

When the old Duke thought of these things, he secretly hated him. Wang Ming of Zhenbei knew that Song Xianning's identity would make it difficult to marry her, just to get Nanzhao's support.

I hate their Song family, they have to board a pirate ship.

……

Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin chased the man in black through most of the capital city and arrived at the Zhenbei Palace.

The couple looked at each other and followed inside.

The man in black turned around and walked into a well-decorated yard in the front yard.

Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin have never been to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, so they naturally don't know who owns this courtyard.

But according to the layout, it can be guessed almost exactly.

"Young master!" The man in black walked up to Xia Houzheng who was drinking tea, and said respectfully.

Xia Houzheng at this time was different from before, with an inexplicable aura spreading all over his body.

"How to say?"

The man in black said respectfully, "It's just suspicious, young master, don't worry, Princess Yaoguang will never suspect us."

Everything they do is seamless.

Hiding behind her back all the time, who would have thought that Princess Shuhua would actually help an outsider?
"Don't take it lightly." Xia Houzheng narrowed his eyes, "Remember to be careful."

"Yes!"

……

In the palace of the princess, Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin changed into a set of underwear, washed and lay down under the quilt.

"Know people, know faces, but don't know heart." Mu Zhixu sighed, and patted Gu Lin on the back.

Although Jinzhi didn't say anything, he definitely felt uncomfortable.

After all, he and Xia Houzheng had a good friendship.

Especially the period when the two met on the rivers and lakes.

"I just think, how can a person wear a mask so well." There is no flaw.

"Maybe he is the real him when he meets you." After wearing a mask for a long time, it is difficult to be yourself.

Perhaps that period of time on the rivers and lakes is the most real thing in Xia Houzheng's heart.

Gu Lin rested his chin on Mu Zhixu's forehead and nodded slightly.

"Tomorrow the Song family may launch a crisis, what are you going to do?" Mu Zhixu changed the subject.

They don't care about fame, but this is the way of the world.

Verbal criticism is also a sharp sword for killing people.

"Nothing." Gu Lin sneered, as if as long as I don't care about my reputation, no one can do anything to me.

Mu Zhixu smiled helplessly.

The next day, Gu Lin entered the palace very early. Even so, one must be prepared, right?

And Mu Zhixu asked Xia Houqing to come over.

The house is the safest place.

"You..." When Mu Zhixu saw Xia Houqing, her eyes were still red and swollen.

Xia Houqing smiled bitterly. Thinking of what her mother said last night, she took a deep breath, "Zhixu, do you know that my mother is not actually from the Song family."

"...you know?!" Mu Zhixu was a little surprised.

"Princess Zhenbei told you?" Apart from this, there should be nothing else.

"you know too?!"
