Chapter 26 Find a Reason to Go Tomorrow
Huang Fu was old after all, and he could hardly keep up with Gu Lintan from the moment he arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion.
Gu Lintan was almost running behind, and he couldn't catch up even if he ran for his life.
When he was just a few steps away from the inner courtyard gate, he saw Gu Lintan leaving angrily again.
He quickly ran to catch up.
This night is really terrible.
Gu Lintan walked all the way to the study, holding back his anger.
When he arrived at the study, he closed the door, looked gloomy, and kicked over the chair next to him.
When Huang Fu rushed to the study, he heard a loud noise coming from inside.
He knocked on the door hurriedly, and heard Gu Lintan's roar from inside.
"Get in here!"
Huang Fu hurriedly pushed the door open and went in.
Gu Lintan stood in the middle of the study without turning on the lights. The moonlight shone in, making his face look like a demon, flickering.
Huang Bo looked at the chair that was kicked over and asked hurriedly:
"Is the young master not injured?"
Gu Lintan said nothing, he was thinking.
He was able to run to Wenqingxuan and stroll out without being discovered by the guards at the door, and even Jiang Xue’s guards couldn’t catch up with him—
Such a master - could he really have been sent by that person?
He clenched his fists and became more and more angry.
So stupid!
He didn't know what the man was planning. He had clearly agreed with him before that all matters in the capital would be left to him.
But now he wants to touch Jiang Xue without his consent!
Have you ever thought about Gu Lintan’s situation after being discovered by Jiang Xue!
In the current situation, being humiliated is a small matter.
But if Jiang Xue reported this to the palace, at best, the Emperor and Empress, who loved their daughter dearly, would send more palace guards to patrol Gu Mansion - by then, Gu Mansion would be the eyes of the Jiang family, and his actions would be even more restricted!
In serious cases, with the suspicious nature displayed by Jiang Yu today, if he suspects Gu Lintan, he will have to investigate the matter - their foundation in the capital is not stable now, if they are caught, they will lose everything!
No, a vicious look gradually emerged in Gu Lintan's eyes. No, to that person, he, Gu Lintan, was just a small chess piece.
Even if he was removed, the only one who would lose everything would be Gu Lintan.
If what happened tonight was really done by that person, what was his purpose?
Gu Lintan closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Although Jiang Xue is a princess, she has no involvement in state affairs and it is impossible for her to have any intelligence.
Although she lived in Wenqingxuan, all her dowry items were kept in the warehouse. There shouldn't be any important items in Wenqingxuan that required that person to send someone to find them personally.
Besides, if she really had something on her, why didn't the man just give him an order?
As a prince consort, wouldn't it be safer and more convenient for him to get the things from Jiang Xue without having to send people to attack at night?
What does that person want to gain by doing this?
Could it be that...
Gu Lintan's body trembled. Did that person doubt him?
So he was not informed of this operation, both to conceal the purpose and to scare him?
He thought deeply and felt that anything was possible.
The only thing to do now is to appease Jiang Xue.
He also had to ask that person clearly.
Even if you are a chess piece, you must know clearly whether you will become a discarded piece in the game.
If that were the case, he would have made plans early.
Gu Lintan said, "Uncle Huang, light the lamp and grind the ink."
He quickly wrote a small piece of paper, rolled it up, handed it to Huang Fu, and said:
"It's still the same place. It's more secluded on the way there."
Huang Fu nodded in response and was about to leave when he was stopped by Gu Lintan.
"I'll find an excuse to go shopping tomorrow."
Huang Fu was stunned for a moment and then agreed.
The next morning, I asked Qingxuan.
Jiang Xue was letting Xiaochun Fudong comb her hair and tie it into a bun.
Fu Dong picked up a white jade hairpin with twin crabapples and placed it on her head, then asked:
"Your Highness, do you think it's a bit plain?"
"It just so happens that I don't plan to go out today, so I'll just be more comfortable at home."
She slept well last night.
Perhaps it was because of the busy work since preparing for the wedding and the shock on the wedding night, he didn't get enough sleep for many days.
I had a good night's sleep, and when I woke up today, the dark circles under my eyes were less noticeable.
She had roughly determined that what happened last night was done by Gu Lintan.
After all, apart from the princess herself, there are no rare treasures in Wen Qingxuan that are worthy of outsiders' attention.
Knowing it was Gu Lintan, Jiang Xue just had to sit back and wait.
She was afraid that Gu Lintan would not take action, so she could only slowly investigate the mother and son like a blind man groping in the dark.
Now that she has taken action, it would be better if she finds someone to secretly monitor his actions.
She asked Fu Dong to see if Jiang Qibin was in the yard.
Fu Dong asked, "Weren't the four Wu Anlangs guarding the courtyard last night?"
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I have arranged other tasks for Jiang Qibin. Go out and see if he is here. If he is, call him in to see me."
Fu Dong was a little confused, but he didn't dare to delay and went out to look for someone.
Xiaochun is helping Jiang Xue put on makeup.
Jiang Xue said: "Just draw your eyebrows, I won't go out today."
Xiaochun said, "Women dress up to please themselves. Your Highness has only been married for a few days, how can you be so casual in your makeup?"
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly: "Then take a look, is there anyone who pleases me in this mansion?"
Xiaochun picked up the rouge and slowly spread it on Jiang Xue's face, saying:
"Whether you have it or not, Your Highness is newly married now, so even if you don't have it, you should pretend."
Yes, Jiang Xue frowned.
It would be inappropriate for me to go to see Gu Lintan without makeup.
The day after getting married, she had no intention of dressing up to please her husband. How could he not notice something?
If you're going to dress up, dress up fully.
She simply let Xiaochun do whatever she wanted.
Soon, Fu Dong came in to report that Jiang Qibin was already waiting outside the house.
Jiang Xue called him in.
"Did you find anything last night?"
"I was guarding outside the study. Late at night, Huang Fu came out of the study and seemed to have hidden something in his sleeves. The prince consort returned to the main house to rest soon after."
"Where is Huang Fu? Who did he meet last night?"
"No, I stayed near the gate of Gu Mansion for a whole night, and no one came in or out. I saw that it was getting light, so I came back to report to Your Highness. I asked Ruan Yisui to keep an eye on the gate first."
Seeing how energetic he was, Jiang Xue sighed inwardly, this Wu Anlang is really Wu Anlang, his physical fitness is really extraordinary.
She thought for a moment and said, "Today you just need to keep an eye on Huang Fu. I'm sure Gu Lintan won't go and do it himself if he has something to do."
As the prince consort of the current dynasty, if he had any dirty dealings with others secretly, he would definitely not show up in person and arouse suspicion from others.
Jiang Qibin said: "Yes."
Jiang Xue called Fu Dong to get some silver and banknotes for him.
"If there are any clues outside the palace, you can spend money wherever you can. After all, money makes the world go round."
"yes."
Jiang Qibin took the money, nodded, and turned to leave.
"Wait," Jiang Xue saw him rushing out, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You've been guarding all night, haven't you had breakfast yet? Let Fu Dong take you to eat something first."
Jiang Qibin grinned, scratched his head unconsciously, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After the two left, Xiaochun had almost finished dressing Jiang Xue up.
Jiang Xue's head was covered with hairpins and rings, and she could feel the jade hitting her head every time she turned her head.
"Go call Chen Jin in, and then go to the kitchen to prepare Wu Anlang's meals. I will summon them after dinner."
Xiaochun nodded in agreement.
When Jiang Xue saw her go out, she quickly pulled out half of her hairpin.
It looks good, but wearing so many things on your head feels like it weighs a thousand pounds, which is really painful.
