The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 394: Delicate and Mighty (Part 2)

The episode of He's mother and daughter did not cause much trouble in Bishui Hutong. The family quickly forgot about the two of them. Everyone had their own affairs to be busy, and indeed they didn't spend too much time on irrelevant people. .

However, Yao shi sent a letter to Yao Yuan in order to prevent future troubles, telling about He shi's visit.

After that, the He family's mother and daughter really didn't come to the door again.

In August, the autumn tiger was wild and the capital was still hot like summer. The emperor almost went to the summer resort.

He didn't go because he was busy with government affairs, and he was waiting for the progress of Eunuch He's investigation.

Eunuch He sent someone to stare at Concubine Jing's natal Yong'an House, and after staring for a long time, they didn't notice any changes. Yong'an House is indeed not clean, but they are all trivial matters, which have nothing to do with Concubine Jing.

However, Eunuch He was not without gains. He found out that Concubine Jing had colluded with Chen Guo's protégé, Yuan Tang.

The last time the emperor was assassinated by Yuan Tang, it was Concubine Jing's eyeliner in the palace who leaked the emperor's whereabouts to Yuan Tang.

The emperor knew that there was no mother-child love in her heart, but he did not expect to be so ruthless. He clenched his fists: "She is not afraid that I will die in Yuantang's hands!"

Eunuch He guessed that Grand Concubine Jing was holding back, she would not really let Yuan Tang kill His Majesty, she would release the Dragon Shadow Guard at the critical moment.

Her main purpose at that time was to put the blame on the queen mother and provoke the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor.

It's just that His Majesty met the little genius doctor and was rescued by the little genius doctor, and the little genius doctor also brought out the assassin Yuan Tang!

"Those eyeliners have been removed?" the emperor asked coldly.

"If you return to His Majesty, we will deal with it." Eunuch He said.

If this kind of thing hadn't happened, who would have expected that there would be more than a dozen eyeliners of Concubine Jing in his Huaqing Palace, more than the ones placed by the Empress Dowager beside him!

It's also because he only stared at the queen mother before, but never took precautions against Concubine Jing.

The emperor slapped his forehead with a slap: "I'm so stupid!"

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" Eunuch He didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." The emperor put down his hand, "Just those people, nothing else?"

Eunuch He didn't speak, his eyes fell on Eunuch Wei's face.

Eunuch Wei's heart skipped a beat: "What are you doing!"

Eunuch He said inexplicably: "If I remember correctly, Eunuch Wei was picked by Concubine Jing and sent to His Majesty."

Eunuch Wei's expression changed drastically: "Old He! I don't want you to stab me like this!" He knelt down and looked at the emperor behind the desk, "Your Majesty,

The slave is loyal to you and has no second thoughts! "

The emperor glanced at Eunuch He speechlessly, and said to Eunuch Wei: "Okay, get up, I don't doubt you."

Eunuch Wei wiped his tears and stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He glared at Eunuch He angrily, "Humph!"

These two people are also... quite fond of pinching each other.

The emperor shook his head, and continued, "Where are the other three Dragon Shadow Guards?"

"She won't tell." Mr. He hesitated and said fairly, "I guess they are no longer in the capital."

After all, they have been searched everywhere in the capital, and it is impossible for Concubine Jing not to miss them unless she kills them and buries them.

But Concubine Jing would not kill Long Yingwei, nor could she kill Long Yingwei.

"Wait." Eunuch He thought of something and murmured, "There is still a place I haven't checked."

Xianleju.

Ordinary people can't enter Xianleju. If they have the emperor's imperial decree, they can certainly enter, but Eunuch He doesn't think that's the wisest way.

He decided to sneak in first.

Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived at the back door of Xianleju, he bumped into Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao and Eunuch He met once in the county.

"Huh? It's you." Gu Jiao recognized Eunuch He, who was the eunuch that the emperor brought with him when he first came to the medical clinic in the county to treat his illness.

She said why a man's temperament is so feminine, it turned out to be the father-in-law.

Eunuch He also recognized Gu Jiao.

At that time, there was a bit of unhappiness, and it was Eunuch He who was upset, after all, he was the one who was treated roughly.

Seeing Gu Jiao again, he naturally didn't have a good face: "Why did Doctor Gu come here?"

"I'm passing by." Gu Jiao said, "Why did you come here?"

Eunuch He said calmly: "The slave is ordered to investigate Xianleju."

Gu Jiao looked at his night clothes up and down: "Are you going to... turn it in?"

Eunuch He was silent, and answered her words with practical actions - he took out a black cloth and covered his face.

Gu Jiao murmured: "I think you will be kicked out."

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch He, who performed lightness kung fu and leaped into Xianleju, was kicked out by the master inside.

Gu Jiao looked down at Eunuch He who was lying on the ground like a dead fish, bent her lips, and said, "Ten taels of silver, I'll take you in."

Eunuch He turned his face away.

do not accept.

Eunuch He changed his place and climbed over the wall.

Eunuch He changed the place again and climbed over the wall.

Eunuch He changed over the wall in unknown places.

A quarter of an hour later, Eunuch He limped up to Gu Jiao, with a dark face, resigned to his fate, and took out ten taels of silver.

Gu Jiao didn't answer, and raised her eyebrows: "Twenty taels."

Eunuch He was startled and furious: "You just clearly said ten taels!"

Gu Jiao spread her hands: "Now the price has increased."

Eunuch He: "..."

In order to complete the task entrusted by the emperor, Eunuch He finally humiliated and gave her a twenty-two silver note.

This is considered a public expense, at worst, go back and tell His Majesty that he spent fifty taels, so he still earned thirty taels.

Gu Jiao came to see a doctor near Xianleju today, and the carriage of the third son was parked across the street, Gu Jiao went to the carriage and changed into men's clothing and put on a mask.

She asked Eunuch He to take off his night clothes and put on ordinary travel clothes, then she took out a token and took Eunuch He into Xianleju.

"Why do you have the token of Xianleju?" Eunuch He asked suspiciously.

Gu Jiao thought for a while, and said seriously: "Because I'm good?"

Eunuch He: "..."

Eunuch He came in as Gu Jiao's servant, he couldn't leave Gu Jiao alone, he had to let Gu Jiao follow.

"I'm going there." He pointed to the east wing, where there were many people and it was easy to hear news.

Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips: "Then there will be a price increase."

Eunuch He endured the humiliation and took out another twelve taels!

Gu Jiao collected the banknotes, and took Eunuch He to the east of the first floor.

Gu Jiao is not a regular visitor of Xianleju, but she can become Mo Qianxue's guest every time she appears, so the girls of Xianleju almost remember her.

Along the way, many girls flirted with her.

Gu Jiao put her hands behind her back, with a cynical look, which made girls like her even more.

Eunuch He couldn't understand her, but he couldn't get rid of her, so he felt aggrieved.

Eunuch He underestimated the tone of the guests and girls of Xianleju. He is a servant, and no one wants to talk to him. As a last resort, he had to look at Gu Jiao again: "Please help me find out something."

Gu Jiao looked at him with a smile: "Questioning is another business."

The corner of Eunuch He's mouth twitched, and he took out twelve taels!

"Twelve is not enough."

Eunuch He gritted his teeth and took out another twelve taels!

Gu Jiao accepted the bank note: "What are you asking?"

Eunuch He took out two origami portraits: "Ask them if they have seen the people in the portraits?"

Gu Jiao: "There is an additional price for bringing props."

Eunuch He: "..."

Eunuch He was squeezed out of one hundred taels in the end, and the next fifty taels was an IOU.

There are four portraits in total, one of which is wearing a mask, and the other three are not.

Gu Jiao recognized at a glance that it was the portrait of Long Yingwei.

Strange, why did the emperor want to investigate Long Yingwei? Could it be that the Dragon Shadow Guard is gone? Missing three?

Long Yingwei's mask is the same, it should be uncertain whether Long Yingwei is wearing a mask to show his true face here in Xianleju.

Gu Jiao is not sure whether Eunuch He is sure that Longyingwei has a relationship with Xianleju, or if he just wants to conduct a blanket search.

She didn't ask.

Mo Qianxue didn't come out to see her today, so she boldly guessed that Mo Qianxue was not in Xianle Residence.

She put on the portrait and went up to the second floor.

She didn't bother picking girls too much, someone automatically delivered them to her door.

"Hey, young master, long time no see."

A beauty in a pink embroidered fairy dress half-hid her face with a folding fan, and walked towards Gu Jiao gracefully.

Gu Jiao remembered her—the second sister of Xianleju who was slapped by Mo Qianxue last time when she tried to seduce her. The reason why she called her second sister was because she seemed to have a high status in Xianleju, second only to Mo Qianxue.

What's her name?

flower……

"Xi Yao has met the young master." She saluted Shi Shiran.

Gu Jiao's gaze was fixed on her for two seconds, as if she was pondering some possibility, and after a while she took out a small notebook and wrote: "Miss Xiyao, don't be too polite."

Hua Xiyao straightened up, covered her eyebrows with a mask, and smiled charmingly: "Is the young master here to find sister Qianxue?"

She said with a regretful look on her face, "What a coincidence, Sister Qianxue went out with the guests, and I don't know when she will come back. If you don't mind, how about Xi Yao to accompany you?"

Gu Jiao nodded.

it is good.

Hua Xiyao was extremely surprised.

The man who slept with Mo Qianxue could fall in love with another woman so easily, isn't the speed of this transference too much for Mo Qianxue?

"I'm afraid sister Qianxue will be angry." Hua Xiyao bit her lip and said teasingly.

Gu Jiao wrote, "Don't be afraid, the sky will fall, and I will take care of it for you."

Hua Xiyao chuckled, she reached out to grab Gu Jiao's hand, but Gu Jiao inadvertently avoided it.

Hua Xiyao's eyes moved slightly: "What? Sister Qian Xue can touch it, but I can't touch it?"

Gu Jiao: I'm afraid I can't help but beat you up.

Gu Jiao wrote: "It's hot, my hands are sweaty, I don't want to dirty the girl's jade hands."

The corner of Eunuch He's mouth twitched, how could a woman be more eloquent than a man!

Eunuch He is not qualified to enter the house, so he can only watch outside.

He felt that this matter was a bit precarious, that girl named Xi Yao was not a good person at first glance, and this was another person's territory, she would be exposed in a short while, and she had to save her by herself——

Thoughts just flashed through my mind.

crunch——

The door opened.

Eunuch He looked at Gu Jiao with a look of shock on his face: "You got kicked out?"

Gu Jiao glared at him: "What are you thinking? I'm done asking."

Eunuch He glanced inside in disbelief, and saw that all the maids in the room had fainted, but Hua Xiyao was not, she was in a very strange state, as if she had lost her soul.

It is rumored that the maids in Xianleju also know martial arts, and they are all masters. How did the masters in this room fall? He didn't hear the fight!

Also, she asked, how did she ask?

Of course Gu Jiao would not tell him that she had used anesthetics and hallucinogens, which were the same as the hallucinogens used by the boy who interrogated Tang Ming last time, but she did not expect that Hua Xiyao seemed to be a little capable, and her concentration was so strong. Weak, and asked the truth at once.

Gu Jiao found an empty corner, took out the portrait, pointed to the mask on it, and said, "There are three people wearing this kind of mask who came to Xianleju. I'm not sure if it's the three people in the portrait. They never Never took off the mask."

Eunuch He can almost conclude that the three are the Dragon Shadow Guards lost by His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, they actually got involved with Xianleju!

"Where did they go?" Eunuch He asked.

"Frontier fortress." Gu Jiao said.

Eunuch He frowned suspiciously, and took a breath: "Bian, Sai? Isn't that—"

"Young master!"

A woman's voice suddenly came from the end of the aisle.

The two stopped talking immediately.

A young woman in green clothes walked towards Gu Jiao. Her face was not too unfamiliar. Gu Jiao had seen her in Xianleju, but Gu Jiao had never spoken to her.

The woman in green came to Gu Jiao and bowed to Gu Jiao: "Master, don't take what Miss Xiyao said to you just now. Sister Qianxue didn't go out to pick up guests. She has indeed left Xianleju for a while. It's just that she didn't do something to be sorry for the young master. She is..."

She looked around, lowered her volume, moved slightly closer to Gu Jiao, and whispered, "Sister Qianxue is out of the capital to take care of the housekeeper."

"When did you go?" Gu Jiao asked.

The woman in green looked at the words on Gu Jiao's little notebook, thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember the exact date, anyway, it's been a while, I guess Sister Qianxue will be back soon."

Mo Qianxue is not in the capital, neither is the Dragon Shadow Guard, they both left not long ago, could it be a coincidence?

If so, this is too coincidental.

If not, did Mo Qianxue also go to the frontier?

Do you still have a monthly pass?

Look at my longing eyes (⊙o⊙)!
