During this period, Gu Qingying was only focused on traveling and knew too little about the affairs of the imperial city.
After eating, he said, "I have to go out for something. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."
Li Jingyi wanted to ask Lu Qingying what he was doing out there, but she finally swallowed it when the words came to her lips.
He just smiled softly and said, "Then you come back early."
She knew that Gu Qingying had the ability to protect herself.
Gu Qingying left the General's Mansion and then went to the location where Zuixiang Tower used to be.
Zuixianglou has become a thing of the past, and it has now become a shop selling pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
As soon as Gu Qingying entered the store and saw the shopkeeper, she took out the hidden jade plaque.
The shopkeeper looked at the jade plaque with admiration in his eyes and asked Gu Qingying to go upstairs.
Gu Qingying followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
On the second floor are some relatively valuable pens, inks, papers and inkstones and collected books.
The third floor is the reception area.
As soon as the shopkeeper reached the third floor, he saluted directly: "Master, you are finally back."
Gu Qingying was helpless by the shopkeeper.
He glanced at the shopkeeper helplessly and said, "You don't have to be like this, get up and talk!"
The shopkeeper poured tea for Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying waited for the shopkeeper to sit down before asking: "Tell me about the Imperial City. You also know that I have been away for such a long time and I don't know much about the Imperial City."
The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked, "I wonder what the master wants to know about."
Gu Qingying mainly wanted to know what was going on in the imperial city.
"I want to know everything, but mainly I want to talk about the eldest prince."
The eldest prince of Tianyuan Kingdom is the crown prince.
Gu Qingying was very impressed by this prince. He was an upright person and had done a lot of good things for the people.
Pity.
In the end, he died in the fight.
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "My subordinate is the great deacon of the Yinmen Sect of Tianyuan Kingdom. My name is Fengxiao. Master, just call me Shopkeeper Feng from outside."
After introducing himself, Feng Xiao continued: "Our people investigated and found that the prince's death was related to King Zhennan."
Gu Qingying was not surprised by this result.
Even after hearing the result, I felt like I knew it.
Li Cangjue is not a good person.
Very obsessed with what you want.
The prince died not long after Li Cangjue returned from Beiliang Kingdom, and the meaning was too obvious.
I'm afraid that Li Cang is determined to be jealous of Wanyan Tiancheng's status.
Never underestimate a man's jealousy.
Feng Xiao just paused for a moment, then continued: "The prince was poisoned to death, and he was declared to have died of illness, but the emperor was investigating the prince's death. He had previously asked General Xiao Gu to investigate, but General Xiao Gu cleverly avoided this hot potato.
Two of the officials investigating the prince's death have died suddenly."
Gu Qingying was shocked in her heart.
I didn't expect Li Cangjue to be so cruel.
I'm afraid these two people also secretly investigated something and died suddenly!
Li Cangjue did this just to prevent others from investigating the results.
I don’t know if the emperor knows these things.
Feng Xiao continued: "Officials in the city all know that this is a hot potato and avoid it."
Gu Qingying asked: "Has there been any result from the hidden door investigation?"
Feng Xiao quickly stood up, went to the next room to get a box, and then handed it to Gu Qingying and said: "This is all the things that Yinmen has investigated during this period. Master will understand after taking a look."
Gu Qingying opened the box in front of Feng Xiao.
Inside are various evidences and witness statements collected.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingying's face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
He said happily: "These things are so useful, so I took them all first."
Feng Xiao had no opinion on this.
Gu Qingying also wanted to know how the Zhennan Palace and the other princes reacted.
So the two talked for almost an hour.
Gu Qingying left the store with satisfaction.
As soon as she left, Gu Qingying noticed that someone was following her.
I deliberately walked into the alley, then found a corner and waited patiently.
This kind of tracking technology is really not very sophisticated.
Lu Qingying used this method to catch the person he was following every time, and he would catch them accurately.
really.
Before Gu Qingying could wait for a while, two men in civilian clothes entered the alley in a panic.
Gu Qingying knocked the two of them to the ground without mercy.
The two of them squatted in the corner with bruises and swollen faces, looking pitiful.
"Tell me! Did Li Cangjue send you to follow me?"
What Gu Qingying suspected was Li Cangjue.
The two just lowered their heads but did not speak.
This is a tough-talking person!
Gu Qingying actually felt a little happy.
Looking at the two of them indifferently, he said with disdain: "Do you really think that I won't know the result without saying anything? I don't know if I can check it! Anyway, if I check all the people I suspect, I will know who they are.
.”
The two of them still didn't want to talk.
Gu Qingying knocked them unconscious without mercy.
Gu Qingying knew that there were very few people coming in and out of this alley.
So, after knocking them unconscious, she jumped on the gun and waited for them to wake up.
She was sure that as long as the two of them woke up, they would definitely revive their master.
As long as they go to find their master, she will know who the other person is.
It's getting dark.
The two woke up in a daze.
When they were sure that they were still in the alley and that each other was still alive, they both showed happy smiles.
It's a good thing to be alive.
As long as I can live, I won't do anything.
One of them even looked around cautiously, making sure no one was around before he said, "Why don't you think Lu Qingying killed us?"
He couldn't understand, didn't everyone say that Gu Qingying was cruel and ruthless, and she wasn't the pretty girl everyone saw!
But Gu Qingying really didn't kill them.
Another person twisted his neck and felt that his neck really hurt.
He frowned and said, "It's good that we're not dead. Isn't it a good thing that she didn't kill us? We have to find a way to revive the master."
The two walked out of the alley side by side.
Gu Qingying followed the two of them from a distance.
But they saw the two of them going directly to the back entrance of Zhennan Palace.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
A figure emerged from the yard.
There is a lantern hanging on the back door of the palace.
The light was a little dark, but Gu Qingying could still see the other person's face clearly.
She could not mistake the face that was somewhat similar to hers. This person was Yun Nuo!
When Yunnuo saw the scars on their faces, he knew they had failed in tracking them.
He was so angry that he stamped his feet: "I paid you to hire you to do things, and this is how you do things? You can't do even the smallest things well."
The two of them were obviously unconvinced!
One of them muttered and said, "You can't blame us! We tried our best. Who knew that Gu Qingying was so vigilant? Not only was she vigilant, she was also so good at martial arts. Neither of us two grown men could be her opponent."
