While Jiang Baitong was reading the imperial edict in the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan were discussing matters in the study of Prince Qin's Mansion.

"Prince Rui received the news from Tiger Mountain Gorge and rushed over overnight. We..."

Xie Moxuan wanted to continue talking. For them, this matter was the most urgent. He himself had something on his mind and wanted to finish what he had to say as soon as possible so that he could leave and go to meet his cousin.

Pei Wanwan asked Xie Moxuan to have lunch at Zuixianju, but the King of Qin did not come out of the palace and return to the palace until noon.

Before this, Xie Moxuan had sent someone to inform Feiyue, asking her to tell Wanwan that he would arrive later, but he knew her personality very well, and she might have left by the time he arrived.

He had no choice but to go. She said that if he didn't go, she would no longer recognize him.

Gu Beichen didn't know that Xie Moxuan had something on his mind, so he waved his hand and said, "I already have a plan for this matter. First, tell me about the news Ling Shuang brought back."

He was very sure that Ling Shuang had come back.

Yesterday, I asked Feiying to give Pei Jiaojiao a laxative at night, but I didn't expect Wanwan to have Lingshuang take action in advance.

During the time Ling Shuang was away from Wan Ning Garden, Wan Wan must have gone out. If that was the case, Ling Shuang would definitely come back this morning to report the situation, and perhaps bring unexpected news.

Wanwan was so smart that she could detect the spy through Wuyou. Although she hadn't said how she discovered Wuyou, he knew that Pei Bailiang must be involved.

If she had gone out last night, she would not have returned empty-handed. Perhaps she had actually discovered crucial evidence.

Xie Moxuan looked unnatural. He glanced at Gu Beichen, hesitating about how to word him to repeat the news Ling Shuang brought back, so as to make him feel better when accepting the news.

Gu Beichen frowned, "Why, is there any news I can't hear?"

Xie Moxuan sighed, Ling Shuang would definitely be punished this time.

Xie Moxuan summarized the news that Ling Shuang brought back in a few words. As expected, Gu Beichen's expression changed visibly, and the air around them suddenly turned cold.

Xie Moxuan couldn't help but persuade her, "You don't have to worry too much. She returned to Wanning Garden intact."

"What do you want to say?"

Xie Moxuan: “???”

He just told him the truth, and of course pleaded for Ling Shuang. In fact, Ling Shuang did nothing wrong. Shen Wanwan asked her to drug Pei Jiaojiao, and she had no reason to refuse.

"If Ling Shuang had half the intelligence of Fei Yue, she wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake."

Xie Moxuan opened his mouth, but couldn't help but defend her: "But Miss Shen said that her personal safety was seriously threatened, and asked Ling Shuang to resolve the threat. Ling Shuang should go."

If this happened to Pei Wanwan, and she asked Feiyue to drug the fake Shen Wanshu, Feiyue would definitely go.

However, she might be more cunning than Ling Shuang, for example, she would ask her nervously: "Are you trying to get me out of the way so you can do something earth-shattering?"

Ling Shuang would only refuse coldly, but under pressure from the other party, she would finally compromise.

This is the difference between the two.

Gu Beichen's anger dissipated considerably upon hearing this, but his expression remained horrified. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he asked, "You just said that Wanwan asked Ling Shuang to bring her to the palace to see me?"

Xie Moxuan nodded, "I think we've found some new clues in Lord Pei. Do you want Ling Shuang to bring her here tonight?"

Gu Beichen waved his hand, "No need, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion in person tonight."

Xie Moxuan was stunned. "Now, there are rumors outside that you knelt in the Yangxin Palace for a whole day and night. If you go to the Marquis' Mansion in person, what if you are discovered..."

He glanced at his knees. He was pretending so well that he had to be carried into the mansion when he got off the carriage. If he hadn't seen him walking freely at this moment, he would have thought that this man's knees were swollen from kneeling.

"You stay at the palace. Remember to lock the gate tightly and don't see anyone. If nothing unexpected happens, I will go directly to Tiger Mountain Gorge after leaving the palace."

Xie Moxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Okay, just go ahead and don't worry."

After all, Prince Rui is a prince. Without Gu Beichen going there in person, no matter how capable Canglang and Xuan Bin are, they cannot confront the prince head-on.

"By the way, I have asked someone to notify Feiyue to go to the Marquis' Mansion. From today on, Feiyue and Lingshuang will stay with her. It will be relatively more convenient for her to pass on information to us."

Gu Beichen nodded to indicate that he understood.

The two discussed some other small details. Xie Moxuan thought about it carefully, confirmed that everything had been discussed, and stood up from his chair. "I have some personal matters to take care of, so I'll leave first."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Beichen to speak, he raised his leg and strode out.

Gu Beichen looked at his receding figure, narrowed his eyes, and shouted, "Flying Eagle!"
