Chapter 434 Suspicion

He had made up his mind, so Song Shiwei did not persuade him any more.

She spread out the paper and pen, and drew a route map in a flash.

But perhaps because she was too focused on drawing, her hands were stained with ink.

"Okay," she put down the pen and went directly to the basin to wash her hands, washing them very carefully, even the gaps between her fingers were not spared.

After washing them back and forth three times, she wiped them dry.

While she was washing her hands, Xiao Yanli had already looked at the map, folded the paper and put it on his chest, and smiled, "So disgusting?"

Song Shiwei's mind suddenly appeared the image of Tao Hong patting her hand.

"Of course, who knows what she is planning? She wanted to send me away and never see me again before, but now she is trying to please me in every way..."

Song Shi paused, as if he thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that she also knows about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"

Xiao Yanli lowered his eyes: "It is possible. She is the only one in the mansion now. Jiang Zhaorong may not hide it from her."

With this rejection, looking at Taohong's behavior, everything seems to be traceable.

Song Shiwei snorted coldly: "Pretending."

"Okay, I should go. Don't let anyone in before I come back."

Seeing Song Shiwei nodded, Xiao Yanli jumped out of the window.

...

The mansion is not big. Because a group of servants were reduced before, Xiao Yanli almost didn't need to hide. He went all the way to the courtyard outside Jiang Zhaorong's study. There were

two people in front of the main gate outside the courtyard, and two people at the door of the study.

Xiao Yanli walked past the rockery on the side and entered the courtyard quietly.

Then he deliberately made some noises, and when people came to check, he took out Song Shiwei's special incense from his sleeve and drew it under their noses.

In addition to being able to daze people, it can also erase people's memories for a short period of time.

After the people fell down, Xiao Yanli dragged the two into the bushes and then entered the study.

The study was very dim, and Xiao Yanli walked step by step. His hand was already on the secret compartment, but his sight suddenly froze on the desk, and he exclaimed in his heart.

There was a square piece of paper on the desk, which looked like a letter. The paper was obviously old and there were traces of being touched by someone.

Xiao Yanli withdrew his hand from the secret compartment and picked up the letter on the desk instead.

It was a letter left by Du Wen.

Xiao Yanli read it at a glance.

The things recorded in the letter were the same as what Song Shiwei told him, except for - two girls.

One was a princess of the previous dynasty, and the other was the daughter of Du Wen and Jiang Zhaorong.

Although the letter said that the princess of the previous dynasty survived, would there really be a mother who would abandon her own daughter to save a stranger who had nothing to do with her?

Xiao Yanli's eyes were thoughtful. He put the letter back to the place where he picked it up, and Xiao Yanli pressed the secret compartment.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Zhaorong's voice came from the yard: "What are you doing?!"

The blue veins on Xiao Yanli's forehead jumped suddenly, and he decisively withdrew his hand and hid in the corner.

Jiang Zhaorong looked at the two people lying in the bushes and kicked each of them.

The two men opened their eyes dazedly and saw Jiang Zhaorong's angry face.

They came to their senses immediately and knelt on the ground.

These were all people carefully selected by Jiang Zhaorong. Jiang Zhaorong knew that even if they were lazy, they could not be so blatant.

He raised his hand to interrupt their plea for mercy and said in a deep voice: "What happened just now? How did you get here?"

The two servants' heads were also like a mess.

They didn't know why they were in the bushes, or whether they were kicked awake by Jiang Zhaorong.

"My lord, we don't know either."

Jiang Zhaorong sighed lightly and turned to look at the study.

The door of the study was closed tightly, and there was no sign that anyone had entered.

Jiang Zhaorong paced forward.

His voice scolding the servants must have been heard, so Jiang Zhaorong stopped covering up, signaled the servants to come over, and then kicked the door open.

"Search! Search carefully! Don't miss a single corner!"

While the servants were searching, Jiang Zhaorong carefully observed the surroundings.

He designed the study to be dim, so that the thieves who broke in could not see anything and accidentally knocked something over and made a noise.

In addition, he would personally sprinkle dust all over the study every day, so that as long as the thieves landed, they would leave footprints.

Things proved to be true. Jiang Zhaorong looked at the footprints and walked all the way to the desk.

Jiang Zhaorong folded the letter on the desk and pressed the secret compartment.

When the door was opened, there were no footprints, so Jiang Zhaorong restored the door to its original state.

It seems that the people haven't had time to go in yet.

Jiang Zhaorong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that the four servants were still searching, she said unhappily: "It's just such a small place, how long will it take four people to search?!"

The servants: "..."

"Alright, alright, go down, be careful, if there is a next time..."

He didn't finish his words, and the threat in his tone was obvious.

On the other side, seeing Xiao Yanli coming back, Song Shiwei quickly poured him a glass of water.

"How is it, did you find out anything?"

Xiao Yanli swallowed the water: "I didn't have time, I was about to enter the secret room, Jiang Zhaorong came."

Song Shiwei's pupils dilated: "How could it be, did he find you, how did you get out?"

"I hid in the beam, and Jiang Zhaorong kicked the door and came out," Xiao Yanli took a breath, "After this, Jiang Zhaorong will be more vigilant. She can't go to the study for the time being. You can try to find out from Jiang Zhaorong."

Song Shi nodded slightly, and Xiao Yanli stood up: "I should go. As soon as I arrived, someone broke into Jiang Zhaorong's study. He might be suspicious. You should be more careful and don't let him see it."

...

No matter how suspicious Jiang Zhaorong was in her heart, he was still respectful when he sent Xiao Yanli away.

When Xiao Yanli's carriage completely disappeared from sight, Jiang Zhaorong stopped laughing: "You and the Sixth Prince have been together? What did you do?"

Song Shiwei had expected him to ask this question, and brought out the words he had prepared long ago: "That's right, we were just playing chess in the room and talking about some interesting things."

"That's all?"

"Of course, if father doesn't believe it, you can ask the maids in my courtyard."

Jiang Zhaorong choked: "You kid, I just care about you, so that you won't be unhappy again, that's all."

He left with a wave of his sleeves.

...

Liu Jie was not sent to the imperial prison, but to the palace.

Xiao Lingyu arrived later.

When he arrived, the emperor had obviously asked him once.

Xiao Lingyu's eyes passed over the sweaty Liu Jie, and he knelt on the ground: "Father."

"I already know the general situation," the emperor waved his hand to signal him to stand up: "When did you meet Ling Zizhong?"

"Father, it was after Liu Jie ran away that I went to the palace to report. When I left the palace, I encountered assassins. He was also one of the assassins."

The emperor nodded: "Why didn't you report to me, but secretly kept the person in your house?"

Xiao Lingyu's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed nervously.
