After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Therefore, Gu Jinse would never let the Shen family know what happened to her in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

He was innocent, so he was not afraid of the investigation by the Duke of Protectorate. He even hoped that they would find out the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible.

Jiang's depressed look suddenly lit up when she heard Gu Jinse's words: "You made friends with the Tenth Princess?"

"Well, because the Tenth Princess looks at me differently, those people's attitude towards me is different."

"Good, good, good." Jiang said three good words in a row, and her mood finally improved: "With the protection of the Tenth Princess, you can walk around freely in this capital."

Gu Jinse nodded in agreement.

"But you can't give up on Liu Zhenzhen. The Tenth Princess is her cousin. Don't let her whisper something in the princess's ear and ruin your image." Jiang warned.

"I know, mother. Besides, the Tenth Princess is a royal daughter. Does she need to look at other people's opinions when deciding who she likes? Even if they are cousins, Liu Zhenzhen cannot influence the princess's thoughts."

……

Wen received the old princess's instructions to visit Fu Yunyao and asked someone to send a visiting card to the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion.

He sent it three times in a row, but was rejected by the wife of Marquis Xing'an each time.

Wen couldn't sit still anymore, so she went to Chaohui Hall to find the old princess.

Gu Zhiyin was chatting with the old princess to relieve her boredom. When she saw Wen come in, she stood up and saluted: "Greetings, mother."

Wen nodded slightly, and after greeting the old princess, she said, "Mother, I sent three invitations to the wife of the Marquis of Xing'an, but she refused to see me."

Upon hearing this, the old princess sat up straight and looked at Wen Shi with a gloomy expression: "How dare she not see him?"

The more aristocratic the family, the more they value rules. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will extend their greetings before visiting the host and inform the host that they want to pay a visit.

As Wen was the Princess of Pingyang, even if Wei came directly to her house, he would not dare to turn her away. However, because the two families were relatives, Wen was very polite and did not act like Wei, who was unkind.

"The first time, the doctor said that Yao'er had some rashes because she was too weak, and she might be contagious, so she couldn't see anyone for the next few days. I sent another note five days later, saying that I had asked about Yao'er, but she hadn't recovered yet, so I left first to avoid the disease. The one who replied was Yao'er's maid. Although she didn't serve her personally, I had seen her. I thought about it and decided to wait a few more days, but when I sent another note yesterday, there was no response. Today, I sent someone to the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion to inquire, and they said that Wei went to the temple to pray for blessings, and it was not convenient for anyone to enter the mansion before she returned. I asked them when Wei would be back, and the servants of the Marquis's Mansion said that her return date was uncertain."

"Is Wei deliberately not letting you see Yao'er?" the old princess said with a grim expression.

"Grandmother, mother, let's visit the Marquis' Mansion at night." Gu Zhiyin said.

Wei's move was clearly intended to prevent them from meeting Fu Yunyao. Without finding another way, who knew what Fu Yunyao was doing in the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion?

Wen looked at Gu Zhiyin in astonishment. Was she serious?

The old princess pondered for a moment and nodded to Gu Zhiyin: "Okay, you arrange it."

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly.

If you can’t see it in the open, then do it in secret.

The Fu family values ​​rules, but they are not pedantic.

There must be something fishy going on since the husband of Marquis Xing'an has repeatedly refused to see him.

The old princess doesn’t care what the Ji family wants to do, but if her granddaughter is wronged, she will never let it go.

Although Qingcheng was quite skilled in martial arts, he had never been to the Mansion of Marquis Xing'an, and he didn't know the terrain of the mansion and couldn't find Fu Yunyao's courtyard. After asking the steward, Gu Zhi selected a guard, and went with him was a maid with martial arts skills, who served in Chaohui Hall.

The person was sent by Mother Qin, because Manager Zheng wanted to find a maid with good skills, and the old princess thought of one in her courtyard.

The Pingyang Palace was once a family of generals. Although Fu Zheng did not live up to his expectations and practiced martial arts, half of the servants who remained were the ones who had served the old prince when he was still alive. The guards were all very skilled, and there were also a few maids who had some kung fu skills and were placed by the old princess' side.

However, after so many years, most of the maids were married off by the old princess, and only two stayed in the palace and married the servants in the palace. The daughters they gave birth to also asked their mothers to practice martial arts since they were young.

One stayed in Chaohui Hall, and the other followed Fu Yunyao and married into the Xing'an Marquis Mansion.

The night was dark, and thick black shadows were cast on the large and empty garden, making people feel as if they were suffocating.

A gray horse-drawn carriage with a green shed was parked in the alley near the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion. Qing Cheng was driving the carriage, while Gu Zhiyin and Ruyi were sitting in the carriage.

The guards and Zhu Qi climbed over the wall from the backyard and quickly disappeared into the night.

The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Ruyi tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, with a panic-stricken look on her face.

Suddenly, the cry of a wild cat was heard, and Ruyi was so frightened that she jumped up.

"what!"

Because she stood up too quickly, her head hit the roof of the car, and the pain made her eyes full of tears.

Gu Zhiyin looked at her helplessly: "I told you not to follow, but you insisted on coming."

Ruyi sat back and pretended to be calm, saying, "I have served the Princess since I was a child, so I naturally have to put her first. How can I let you take risks alone?"

Gu Zhiyin: “…”

She just sat in the carriage and waited for people, there was no danger in that.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. I will protect you." Ruyi looked at Gu Zhiyin solemnly.

Gu Zhiyin chuckled and nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise inside the Xing'an Marquis Mansion. The next moment, the guards and Zhu Qi hurried back.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Gu Zhiyin asked Qingcheng to drive the carriage away quickly without asking any questions.

However, the two did not return empty-handed. A maid who was knocked unconscious was thrown into the carriage.

When the guards from Xing'an Marquis's Mansion chased out, the alley was empty.

Qing Cheng drove the carriage back to the palace in one breath, and Wen Shi was waiting in the front yard.

Several people entered the main hall, and the guards and Zhu Qi took turns reporting.

"The princess's courtyard is guarded by people, and it is surrounded like an iron barrel. If the servants don't find the way in, they will go in, otherwise they will alarm the guards."

Zhu Qi continued, "I thought that my trip would not be in vain, so I went to the main courtyard to grab a servant and brought him back. But when I left, I still alerted the enemy. Please punish me, Princess, Princess of the County."

"You are very smart. It's not your fault. Get up quickly." Gu Zhiyin said.

Zhu Qi raised his head slightly, smiled at Gu Zhiyin, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess."

"Thank you, Princess." The guard also bowed and thanked.

"Zhu Qi, pinch her philtrum." Gu Zhiyin ordered.

Just as Zhu Qi was about to respond, Ruyi rolled up her sleeves and volunteered, "Princess, I am here."

Zhu Qi smiled and stepped aside.

Ruyi squatted beside the maid and pinched her philtrum hard.

The maid opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her. She was so frightened that she stood up and knelt.

"Your servant greets... greets the princess, greets the princess of the county." She lowered her head and greeted tremblingly.
