Drunk Bamboo

Xie Yuzhu was actually a little envious of Gu Suiyi. Although the Marquis was not a powerful man and was very strict in disciplining Gu Suiyi, he also fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

He cursed loudly in front of others, but behind their backs he was either made to kneel in the ancestral hall or confined to his room. If Gu Suiyi wanted to go out, he could easily escape. Could it be that the guards of the Marquis' Mansion were really bad?

I guess it was also a hint from Lord Gu.

Gu Suiyi's cheerful personality is not something that can be developed casually. She must have grown up in a harmonious family and been loved by her family.

Having someone waiting for you and caring about you is also a kind of happiness.

Xie Yuzhu ran towards the direction of Fengwang Mansion.

As soon as she reached the door, Lao Liu came forward with surprise and held the horse for her. It must be that the news from Changfeng Tower had arrived.

"Thank you for your hard work, Princess." Lao Liu tied up his horse and came to find Xie Yuzhu anxiously.

Xie Yuzhu was sitting in the hall resting and drinking tea. Seeing Lao Liu looking hurried, she thought he had something urgent to tell her.

"Any news about the person you were asked to keep an eye on?"

"Yesterday, Minister Han behaved disrespectfully in front of the palace and sprained his leg. After returning home, he had a big quarrel with his wife." Lao Liu is now paying close attention to the Han Mansion. He records any movement and waits to inform Xie Yuzhu as soon as possible.

"Do you know why they quarreled?"

"Because Young Master Han has taken a fancy to Miss Ginkgo from Taohua Tower, and wants to remove her from civil service status and take her into the mansion as a concubine. The First Lady disagrees and has a quarrel with Minister Han." Changfeng Tower used to not care about such family affairs, but it is different now, and nothing can be missed.

"Han Jian didn't object?" Xie Yuzhu discovered the problem.

"It seems so." Lao Liu nodded, also feeling strange.

"Han Xin is lustful, and it's normal for him to take a concubine after falling in love with the girl from Taohua Tower, but Han Jian is a shrewd man, so why would he agree to his son having a girl from a brothel? Han Jian claims to be a nobleman in Zhongdu, with generations of meritorious service, isn't this a slap in the face? Even the first lady disagrees with this, which shows that Han Jian is biased in this matter."

Xie Yuzhu expressed her views one by one, and Lao Liu felt that they made a lot of sense.

As expected, Changfeng Tower had done things too roughly before, and must be more meticulous in the future. If all the spies had the analytical ability and brains like the princess, they would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Lao Liu thought that this was impossible, but with the princess's guidance, it should be no problem.

"Or is this Ginkgo an important person?"

"Should I send someone to keep an eye on this ginkgo?" Lao Liu asked immediately.

"The prince encountered five top killers in Loushan. One of them was a woman. She fell off a cliff with the prince and disappeared without a trace. Ginkgo was staying in Taohua Tower, but was suddenly called to Han Jian's mansion. Now his son wants to take her as a concubine. It's too coincidental." Xie Yuzhu shook her head.

"What does the princess want to do?"

"If Ginkgo is really the female killer, it would be impossible for ordinary people to get close to her."

"I will find someone else to investigate Ginkgo's matter. You should send someone else to continue monitoring the Han Mansion." Xie Yuzhu continued.

It would be safer to let Gu Suiyi investigate Ginkgo's matter.

Lao Liu responded.

"Did you find out which people in the court had contact with King Wen?" Xie Yuzhu asked again.

"It has been sorted and is on the desk in the princess's study."

"Okay, whether it's an official or a merchant, place secret guards around their mansions. No matter what method you use, place people from Changfeng Tower close to their families or servants. Don't contact the real owner to avoid arousing suspicion."

After Xie Yuzhu made all the arrangements, he stood up and prepared to go back to Changfeng Courtyard to see who they were.

"Princess, are you planning to target Prince Wen? Does the prince know about this?" Lao Liu stopped her.

Xie Yuzhu turned around, but before she could say anything, Nanny Bai's voice came from behind her.

"Listen to the princess. Follow the princess's arrangements."

"Madam." Xie Yuzhu turned around and saw Baiguo walking towards her, supporting the madam.

The nanny looked at her lovingly. She looked tired and seemed to have lost weight. She felt very distressed and held her hand lovingly.

"The princess is preparing for a rainy day. She is making plans for the future of the palace and the prince. You asked everyone in the palace to keep it a secret from me so that I wouldn't worry. The princess has taken on so much alone. If I don't support the princess, what else can I do?"

Xie Yuzhu felt warm in her heart: "Thank you for your trust, Madam. When the prince returns home, I will slowly explain to him. Madam, don't worry, the prince is doing well in Loushan and will be back soon after finishing his official business."

Bai Guo said with a smile: "Then the prince has made a great contribution this time!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "Just as Bai Guo said, the prince has done a great job. Madam, just rest assured. I will take care of the affairs outside the palace for the prince."

The nanny smiled and said, "Okay, I feel relieved that the princess is here."

Bai Guo winked at Xie Yuzhu and signaled the nanny to give it to her.

Xie Yuzhu smiled and nodded slightly.

Bai Guo said cheerfully, "Mammy, I'll help you walk around in the yard."

"okay."

Xie Yuzhu retracted his gaze, and Lao Liu said:

"Princess, I didn't question what you said just now, but the prince has a straightforward temper. I'm afraid he will be furious when he hears this."

Lao Liu was also worried about Hua Qinfeng, but Xie Yuzhu did not blame him.

"If the nobleman in Han Jian's letter is really King Wen, then he wants to kill the prince. Since he has the intention to kill, we can no longer tolerate it. Some things need to be prepared early."

"I have informed the prince of Han Jian's dealings with Wang Qingming. Although Wang Qingming has committed suicide, several of his men are still alive. They are afraid of death and might say something. In addition, the prince saw Prince Wen and Han Jian entering and leaving Daci Temple with his own eyes. If you think about it quietly, the prince should be able to understand it himself."

"Lao Liu, the prince is not completely ignorant, he is just too kind-hearted to admit it."

Lao Liu's eyes trembled: "Yes, after all the past, can't the prince see through it?"

Sighing softly, Lao Liu raised his eyes with a firm look and a smile on his lips: "I understand, don't worry, Princess. I will make proper arrangements for what you have arranged and will not leave anyone out."

Xie Yuzhu nodded with relief.

After a pause, Lao Liu hesitated and said, "Princess, I have an unwelcome request."

"You said."

"The princess is meticulous and has a clear analysis of events. Changfeng Tower is here to gather information. I wonder if the princess can give me some pointers."

Is Lao Liu trying to improve the professional level of the secret agents in Changfeng Tower?

That’s good, this will help Hua Qinfeng more.

Xie Yuzhu agreed: "I'll make a plan, you wait for my notification."

Lao Liu retreated with a smile.

Yunling met Nanny and Baiguo, and learned that Xie Yuzhu had returned, so she excitedly returned to Changfeng Courtyard.

Xie Yuzhu pushed open the gate and felt a chilly wind blowing in from somewhere.

"Princess, the wind is blowing." Yun Ling hurried forward and tidied up Xie Yuzhu's messy hair.

"The wind in Zhongdu is so cold." Xie Yuzhu couldn't help but tighten her collar and walked into the house.
