The night was heavy, and Cuiyu lit a candle, and the room was bright.

The crescent moon appeared with a faint light.

Ruby returned and told her what she had seen truthfully: "Miss, the woman took the child and took a carriage out of the city."

"Really out of town?" this was su Xiangwan's surprise.

After all, the mother and son can be regarded as important witnesses in the case of Zhao Changling.

She thought the people behind her would hold them in their hands.

"Yes, the maidservant saw with her own eyes that a big man gave them a burden, found a carriage and sent them away." Ruby said positively.

"If you leave them as witnesses, they will certainly be useful, but their lives may not be guaranteed." Su smiled at Wan.

But the man would rather save the lives of the mother and son and gave up the opportunity for them to testify and identify.

"Compared with the truth, human life is of course important." Hongyu thought it was normal to do so.

Su Xiangwan brought tea to drink, but he didn't deny it.

For ordinary people, human life is certainly more important than the truth, but in the game in the court, it is normal to sacrifice the lives of a few insignificant people.

In the eyes of high-ranking people, human life is like grass mustard. Otherwise, how could there be such a scene of horse and carriage bustling the market and disturbing the people.

If Zhao Changling can't save people in time, won't there be a child's life.

"I just don't understand. If I don't intend to expose it, why tell me the truth?" does she know what important impact it has on things?

Cuiyu said while holding a candle, "maybe I don't want miss to be blinded."

Su Xiangwan asked Hongyu again, "you followed the trace and didn't let anyone find it?"

Hongyu shook her head. "No, the woman had gone far when the slave went back. When the slave looked for it, it was just when she was going to leave, but the slave found something."

"What's up?"

"Originally, when the woman got on the carriage and left, the trace left by the gold powder should have been broken, but the trace was not only not broken, but also went in a new direction, just in front of the door of Shunchang Hou's house." Hongyu said, complaining: "The man was also cautious. He made a big circle for fear of revealing his whereabouts. The slave and maid followed him up and almost didn't break his foot."

That's why she came back so late.

But even if he made many more rounds, the traces left exposed his tracks.

"Shunchang Houfu?" Su Xiangwan slowly breathed out a breath.

She thought of Gu Yan.

Hongyu also thought, "maybe Lord Gu..."

Sue shook her head to the evening.

No, not Gu Yan.

It taught her a lesson and made her understand that what Gu Yan did represented Zhao Rongxian.

Gu Yan is just a knife. The knife can't think or plan.

Where the master points, where he hits.

The same is true today.

She put her hand on her aching forehead and closed her eyes.

Cuiyu thought Su Xiangwan was uncomfortable. She hurried over and worried: "Miss, but she's not comfortable. Do you want to have a rest earlier?"

Ruby also said, "I went to the suburbs today. I'm tired and the weather is hot. Don't get heatstroke."

Su Xiangwan shook his head. "No, I'm not uncomfortable."

She's not that bad.

She just has a headache.

It's just... In a day, her perception of what she was doing was suddenly overthrown, which was a little unacceptable.

Before that, she sincerely thought Zhao Changling was a good man.

Zhao Rongxian is mean, cold-blooded and cruel.

But now the people who do not hesitate to use the lives of innocent children to gain fame for themselves are the good people she thinks.

The person who saved the lives of the two mothers and children and gave up the opportunity to expose was a bad man she hated.

In the script she knows, Zhao Changling is the male Lord, justice and the right way.

Zhao Rongxian is a villain. He opposes the male Lord and represents evil.

Because of her preconceptions, she always takes some subjective speculation when looking at people.

The established framework was overthrown, and what she thought she had mastered had already deviated from the original track.

She began to understand.

Gu Yan finished his work and rushed to another hospital in the suburbs overnight.

Zhao Rongxian will be here before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Under the moonlight, the lights around the cold spring lit up, and the Yingying fire was quiet and deep.

He only wore Chinese clothes. He was a little wet by the water from the cold spring, and his hair was covered with water vapor. However, he didn't go into the water. He just sat in a corner of the cold spring, and I don't know how long he sat.

Yuansi served behind him. Seeing Gu Yanlai, as if he had seen a soldier, he hurried forward and said, "since you left, the Lord hasn't left here."

Since it is a cold spring, the spring water is very cold. It is even worse at night. Even if it is not for the water, I can't stand staying near the cold spring for a long time.

Zhao Rongxian's bones are not bad, but he was seriously injured once before. Now he is frozen for a long time. If he is ill, he will be in trouble.

Gu Yan hurried forward, "Lord, things are done."

Zhao Rongxian said faintly, "haven't you been found?"

"My subordinates were very cautious. They didn't show up from beginning to end. They just sent someone to contact the woman. When they left, they walked around the city twice. They didn't come to reply until they were sure that no one was following them." Gu Yan said.

Zhao Rongxian couldn't hear what it meant in his tone: "she's very difficult. It's best for you to get away."

Gu Yan looked at the cold spring and said, "Lord, it's late at night. The spring water is cold and cold. It's not good for your body. If you don't try again tomorrow."

Only a few confidants know about Zhao Rongxian's fear of water.

At present, the leaked news is spreading in the capital. Although it has made things big and dispelled many people's suspicion, it is still a fatal weakness for those who want to kill him.

If unavoidable, Zhao Rongxian can only face the threat.

He came to take care of his family to recuperate. In fact, he was afraid of water.

If it can be fundamentally overcome, there will be no follow-up trouble.

In fact, water is not terrible. What he has to face is his own heart disease.

"Don't try," said Zhao Rong.

Gu Yan didn't understand what he meant.

In recent days, Zhao Rongxian will go to Lengquan and try to overcome this weakness bit by bit.

He is not a person who will give up at will. Although he has been afraid of water for many years, he didn't want to face it in the past. Now, since he wants to face it, it's only a matter of time to overcome it.

"Lord, there is still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival..." Gu Yan said aloud.

Zhao Rongxian got up from the cold spring. His body was completely cold, and his hands were as cold as ice. Yuan Si quickly took his thick cloak and heater. He walked to Gu Yan, as if he had brought frost gas.

"I can face it directly, but it's not enough to overcome it. Don't waste time. I have other ideas in my mind." Zhao Rongxian doesn't like to do uncertain things or take risks because of his personal conceit. What he wants to do is to be as safe as possible.

He sat by the cold spring all afternoon to adapt to his fear of water.

He chose to accept this emotion before he could not completely overcome it.

Gu Yan was relieved.

Choosing to soak in cold spring is the most direct way, but it may not be useful. After all, there is not much time for the Dragon Boat Festival celebration. Even if it is gifted, it can't turn people who can't water into excellent water in a month. Not to mention Zhao Rongxian's rejection from the bottom of his heart, it must be a decision he can't make.

If Zhao Rongxian had a better idea in mind, it would be better.

Gu Yan thought and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, after seeing the woman, Miss Su San gave her some silver to go out of the city. His subordinates were worried about what clues the purse would leave, so they took it back from the woman." he took out the purse from his skirt, "Lord, look at the purse. What should I do with it?"

He handed the purse to Zhao Rongxian, and with the light reflected from the colored glass lamps, he found the fine sparkle.

It's strange

Zhao Rongxian's eyebrows were light, and he also found the difference.

"Lord, there's something wrong with the purse." Yuan Si stood on the side, and he saw it most clearly.

At present, it is night, and the gold powder reflects the light, which is very obvious.

Gu Yan looked at her hands and skirts stained with gold powder and was at a loss: "this... This is..."

Zhao Rongxian said faintly, "there is gold powder hidden in this purse, which is enough to expose your traces."

Gu Yan is not good at strategy and doesn't know how to play tricks.

He only knows obedience.

If Yuan Si did this, it would not be exposed.

However, Yuansi might not let the mother and son go like this. He was trained by dead men at the beginning. He was extremely loyal and only knew how to put his interests and life first.

The mother and son are important witnesses. In order to protect Zhao Rongxian's interests, he will not hesitate to sacrifice other people's lives. This is the difference between him and Gu Yan. Although Gu Yan is stupid, he has some natural justice and blood in his bones, and pays more attention to human life.

It's also that he trusts Gu Yan's martial arts too much. After all, Su Xiangwan and her handmaid can't do martial arts.

"She's too cunning." Gu Yan couldn't help saying.

Looking at such a pure girl, how can there be so many tricks?

I've been tricked by his words today. Now I still use this gold powder purse to deal with him

Who could have expected a normal girl to go out with such a schemer's purse? It's too insidious.

This time, Zhao Rong obviously didn't agree with his words, "not only cunning, but also alert enough."

Even if they told her the truth so that she would not be deceived, she would not accept unknown kindness.

Gu Yan was stunned.

He seemed to hear something of praise.

Zhao Rongxian took the purse and said, "it's very good."

He left with Yuansi.

Gu Yan stood in place and couldn't turn his head for a long time.

I didn't scold him for his incompetence, nor did I scold him for being easily calculated by a woman.

That's it?

The prince's mind is getting more and more unpredictable.
