Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 323

Shen Lingjun's heart skipped a beat.

However, she visited the Marquis of Changguo's residence twice under this identity. Although she asked them to keep it a secret, the Marquis of Changguo's residence was full of people and gossips, so it was not impossible for the secret to be leaked.

But who is this person?

He followed her all the way here, which means he must have something on his mind.

Shen Lingjun didn't admit it, but cautiously asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man did not answer, but instead moved closer to Shen Lingjun again.

Shen Lingjun saw his right hand slightly raised and could faintly smell a scent of sleeping pills on him.

This person definitely has ill intentions!

She retreated quickly, but bumped into someone's chest.

Shen Lingjun turned around abruptly and saw a figure in a crimson python robe, a clear jawline, and a beautifully contoured profile.

When the surrounding people recognized Mo Zhonggui, they were like ants caught in a fire, and they quickly retreated in all directions.

Mo Zhonggui narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the strange man in front of him: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Lingjun is still the closed-door disciple of Elder Xingju, so it's best to keep a low profile. He doesn't want to cause too much trouble in the street and attract more attention, otherwise he would have already taken action.

The man's gaze fell on Mo Zhonggui's face, but he didn't answer. He glanced at Shen Lingjun again, said nothing, and quietly turned and left.

Mo Zhonggui was not about to let the matter rest. He immediately ordered Ye Huaichi behind him, "Follow them, bring them back, and find out exactly who they are."

Ye Huaichi immediately accepted the order and left.

Shen Lingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mo Zhonggui hadn't arrived in time, she doesn't know what would have happened to her; it certainly wouldn't have been a good thing.

On the bustling street, Mo Zhonggui didn't want to talk to her too much. He gave her a look and turned to walk out of the city.

Shen Lingjun followed closely behind. The two finally met in a secluded, deserted forest outside the city.

Shen Lingjun said, "Thank you for saving me, Chief Eunuch Mo."

Mo Zhonggui frowned and asked, "Who is that person?"

Shen Lingjun shook his head: "I don't know. He followed me after I left the Marquis of Changguo's residence. He even knows I'm my master's junior disciple. Maybe he has some kind of relationship with my master?"

Mo Zhonggui: "We'll know once Ye Huaichi catches the person and interrogates him."

As he spoke, his expression turned serious.

He said in a low voice, "I came to see you mainly because of what happened last time. We've found out who killed your master... it's Princess Pingkang."

Shen Lingjun was taken aback.

"It's Princess Pingkang? Why did she kill my master?"

She had previously considered that Princess Pingkang might have some connection with the assassin and indirectly obtained the slow-acting poison developed by Elder Xingju, but she never imagined that it was Princess Pingkang who killed Elder Xingju!

But Princess Pingkang is a high-ranking member of the royal family, while the old man Xingju is a wandering, unconventional doctor. Why would she kill the old man Xingju?
