Chapter 552 Tacit understanding
Zuo Ying had been guarding outside Ouyang's house with his people. They knew that Gu Yanbei and Jian Qingyu had entered Ouyang's house, but they did not expect that Ouyang Jingkang would suddenly turn back.

"Why is Ouyang Jingkang back? Shouldn't they be outside the city?"

Zuo Ying frowned deeply. Your Majesty's arrangement was foolproof and would not arouse their suspicions, but one of the father and son came back early. He would never believe that there was no foul play in this.

But what went wrong?
"Sir, the head of the Ouyang family is back, but the princess and Master Gu haven't come out yet. What should we do?"

"Ask me, I still want to find someone to answer this question. Who knows that Ouyang Jingkang will come back at this time. He may have noticed something, or someone has become a high-ranking official. No matter how well your Majesty arranges it, they are all old foxes. There are always some suspicious."

"Then why don't we warn the princess and Mr. Gu? What will happen if the Ouyang family head catches us?"

"Sending warnings at this time is likely to cause trouble. The couple's luck has always been good. We can only wait and see what happens now. We ask everyone to be more alert. If anything goes wrong, follow me and rush in to save people." Zuo Ying's eyes were filled with laughter. With a bit of sternness, His Majesty ordered that even if the night visit to Ouyang's family failed, nothing could happen to the princess. The person must be rescued safely. No matter what happened, it would be a big loss for Dayan.

The secret guards hiding in the dark were alert and focused on the Ouyang family, not daring to be careless. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the princess. If anything happens to the princess, they will not escape their responsibility.

Gu Yanbei and Jian Qingyu did not show up when they came out of Ouyang's house. Instead, they played a note to Zuo Ying, telling them An Ran and asking him to continue guarding Ouyang's house.

When Zuo Ying saw the note flying out of thin air, she didn't have time to think too much. She immediately opened it and read it. When she saw the content on the note, her worries finally came to light. As long as everything is alright, just retreat safely.

"You guys are on guard, keep an eye on everyone who comes in and out of the Ouyang family, and draw their portraits." It seems that the princess and the others have gained a lot, so he can also relax a little.

It's easy here, but it's not easy on Ouyang Jingkang's side. He always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He didn't even think about the rockery, he was very confident.

But because of this overconfidence, he suffered heavy losses and never got ahead.

His Majesty is pressing harder and harder, and he suddenly returned to the city today and used some connections. I'm afraid His Majesty already knows about it. What awaits him tomorrow will be His Majesty's accountability, and then it will be another tough battle.

Early the next morning, Emperor Tianchu indeed brought Ouyang Jingkang into the palace.

Earlier, he got the news that Gu Yanbei had succeeded. This time he visited Ouyang's house at night and gained a lot, but it also alarmed Ouyang Jingkang. Maybe Ouyang Jingkang noticed something and rushed there. Back, fortunately, we passed without any danger.

However, in order to appear normal, Emperor Tianchu could not let Ouyang Jingkang suddenly come back against his orders. This matter could not just go away, and the necessary procedures had to continue.

"Ouyang Jingkang, you are paying less and less attention to me. I trusted you, so I left the matter to you and your son. You actually neglected your duties and gave up halfway. I don't know when the capital became your heir. Open the garden whenever you want.”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am really helpless. My wife suddenly got sick and the attack was severe. I was so anxious that I rushed back overnight. I have betrayed your Majesty's trust. It is my fault. Please punish me." Ouyang Jingkang had arrived a long time ago, so he admitted his mistake with a very pious attitude and lay on the ground respectfully.

There was a sinister smile on Emperor Tianchu's lips. He had the nerve to use such an excuse, but Emperor Tianchu didn't intend to do anything. After all, there was a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers.
