Chapter 13
After crying a lot, Xie Lingyun vented all the stuffiness in her chest.

He Xiang's voice came from outside, saying that Xie Jingzhang had sent someone to look for him.In order to avoid making things worse, Xie Lingyun quickly stood up, and when she was about to leave, she asked in a strange way, "Do you have a bronze mirror here?"

Gu Xingyi was taken aback, but still pointed behind the screen, "Yes."

Xie Lingyun walked over and found that it was a washing shelf with a small bronze mirror on top, presumably it was used to tidy up her appearance.

But at this time, her eyes were red, like a rabbit, she couldn't see anyone at all.Especially on her face, although her makeup is simple and elegant today, she still puts on powder!Now it's all smeared on the face, it's just horrible!

Gu Xingzhi was waiting outside, only to hear the sound of rushing water, and when Xie Lingyun came out again, her face was already clean.

Her hair was still steamed, her eyes were red, but it made her face even fairer.The hibiscus came out of the clear water, and it was carved naturally, Gu Xingzhi unconsciously became fascinated by it.

"Today's matter, I hope the third prince can keep his mouth shut." Xie Lingyun has recovered her emotions, pointing to the bruise on her neck, "Here, I will naturally keep it secret."

Gu Xingzhi followed her fingers to look over, only to feel that his breathing was stagnant.Xie Lingyun was originally fair, but she didn't expect her skin to be so delicate, just pinching it left marks directly.

He understood what she meant, "Don't worry, princess, no one else will know what happened today."

"That would be best."

He Xiang's voice outside became more urgent, Xie Lingyun didn't stay any longer, and walked out quickly.When He Xiang saw her, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her neck, "Princess, what's wrong with your neck?!"

Xie Lingyun quickly covered her mouth with her eyes and hands. Seeing that no one followed her, she felt relieved, "I accidentally grabbed her, so don't say anything."

He Xiang nodded, and when he was about to take her away, Eunuch Liu, who hadn't been seen before, appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile: "Princess, there is a back door here, and going through that way will definitely not be discovered. "

Hearing that his sister passed out and was taken away by the third prince, Xie Jingzhang was anxious, but did not dare to search for her with great fanfare.After all, it would not be good for the reputation of the daughter's family if the news spread, so they just sent someone to look for it secretly.

Xie Lingyun followed Eunuch Liu and left through the back door of the side hall, but she did not meet anyone.She took the lotus fragrance, turned a few corners, and went straight out of the palace.

"Someone send a letter to brother, I'll go back first."

After tossing and tossing for so long, she is really tired.Things were even more unsatisfactory than she expected, Xie Lingyun felt that she had to think carefully about what to do next.

After sending her away, Eunuch Liu also returned to the side hall.

"Send away?"

Gu Xingzhi was playing chess alone, and he was playing against himself, extremely calm.Seeing this, Eunuch Liu replied: "His Royal Highness, the princess has already left the palace, and the son should have received the news."

Duke Huai's mansion protects his weaknesses and dotes on his daughter alone, if he knows what happened today, he might come to fight him desperately.

However, Gu Xingzhi didn't take it seriously at all, he took a calm move, and then said: "I asked you to investigate, how did the investigation go?"

Eunuch Liu stared blankly, lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness guessed right, there is indeed something wrong with Duke Huai's residence."

Before Xie Lingyun fell into the water, it affected all parties.Prince Huai's mansion and the princess' mansion are making a big fuss, but behind them is the prince's party.The second prince added oil and vinegar to it, and the situation could be said to be on the verge of breaking out.

Originally, they were also waiting to watch a good show, but unexpectedly, the princess woke up.Not only did he wake up, but he also directly identified the murderer as Lu Jinyi, which instantly changed the precarious situation!

At that time, Eunuch Liu was following Gu Xingzhi's order to find someone to spy on Duke Huai's mansion.Originally, he wanted to see what they were doing, but who would have thought that he would find something else.

"In the past month, the number of purchases made by Duke Huai's Mansion has doubled compared to before, and I have asked someone to observe, and the prints on the carts they deliver food are not normal." The people he arranged were hidden in the dark, and they were on guard every day. Outside Duke Huai's mansion, naturally there is no mistake.

Prince Huai's mansion has special personnel to deliver food to the mansion every day. If there are no banquets or other arrangements, the daily food quantity should not vary much.

But every other day at Duke Huai's Mansion, the food delivery wheel prints would be a little darker, which is obviously abnormal.But they are arranged so frequently that if you don't pay close attention to them, you won't be noticed at all.

Gu Xingzhi paused his chess hand, "Did anyone else find out about this?"

Eunuch Liu shook his head, "Only us."

To outsiders, Duke Huai's Mansion is just a bunch of idle dandies.From the prince to the princess, they are all arrogant and domineering, without any brains at all.

"Furthermore, the people in Duke Huai's residence didn't seem to pay attention, and they didn't arrange for anyone to deal with it afterwards." Eunuch Liu's people stayed on guard for a month, but they didn't see anyone from Duke Huai's residence come out to wipe out the traces.I don't know if it's because I have nothing to fear, or if I didn't find it at all.

Gu Xingzhi laughed when he heard the words, "It's fair and aboveboard, so it won't arouse suspicion."

No matter what Duke Huai Mansion is secretly transporting, it will be delivered every other day, no matter how loud the movement is, it will not be noticed.They didn't send people to eliminate the traces, it's not that they didn't find it, but they were really confident.

Even if someone noticed it, he thought, Duke Huai's residence would have a hundred excuses to evade it.

"Not only that, but Xie Jingzhang's recent whereabouts are also very suspicious. Although he still lingers in the place of fireworks, according to our spies' reports, the oiran he often calls goes in to play the piano every time, and comes out after playing. He never stays for long."

Eunuch Liu frowned, seemingly puzzled, "But Xie Jingzhang always stays there until midnight, which is very unusual."

Duke Huai's mansion has been making frequent moves recently, and they probably won't be the only ones who discovered it.When the person sent by Eunuch Liu replied, he also said that he felt that there was another group of people who were also inquiring, but they didn't know the identity of the other party.

Gu Xingzhi had lost all intention of playing chess at this time, and when he was about to give orders, for some reason, Xie Lingyun's pear-blossoming rainy face just broke into his mind.

"Let people keep an eye on Xie Jingzhang. As for Prince Huai's mansion, don't worry about it. We can let our people help if necessary."

Eunuch Liu nodded and said yes, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, hesitantly said: "The princess..."

I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.They are taking the road of licking blood with the tip of a knife, and any hidden danger must be taken seriously.Xie Lingyun is also from Duke Huai's residence, so does she really know nothing?
Eunuch Liu made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Your Highness, do you want us to act first?"
