Chapter 32 What do I need Wu Anlang for?
He Zhilin is here?
Jiang Xue suddenly came back to her senses from her thoughts.
Before Jiang Xue could speak, she heard Gu Lintan say:
"Mr. Yan is truly a compassionate doctor who personally takes care of everything. He personally comes to deliver medicine to Your Highness every day. Why did he arrive so early today?"
Fu Dong did not respond, but said to Jiang Xue: "I have taken Doctor Yan to the main hall. Your Highness, will you see him after dinner?"
Jiang Xue frowned and shook her head slightly.
"Just ask him to leave the medicine. I'm a little tired."
Fu Dong was a little confused when she heard this. She looked at Xiaochun who was accompanying Jiang Xue.
Xiaochun shook his head imperceptibly, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
Fu Dong bit her lip and said, "Your Highness, the doctor told me that he wants to explain the method of using the medicine to you in person. Why don't you go over and see him later?"
In Gu Lintan's eyes, Yan Zhe is his own person after all. If Jiang Xueruo doesn't go to see him, he has no way of knowing whether she is really at ease taking the medicine given by Yan Zhe.
So, Gu Lintan also persuaded, "Your Highness, why don't I go with you? I will feel more at ease with Mr. Yan helping you with the medicine."
Jiang Xue was a little hesitant.
But since He Zhilin had sent a message saying he was waiting for her, she had no choice but to go.
Of course, she didn't want Gu Lintan to follow her.
Jiang Xue said sarcastically, "I don't know where the prince consort found this weirdo. An ordinary doctor would prescribe medicine and let the host go and get the medicine. But the one the prince consort found insisted on watching me take medicine every day. The medicine is bitter and smells bad, so I won't take it today."
Fu Dong said, "I heard from Doctor Yan that he made pills for you today. I think they will be easier to swallow."
Xiaochun also said, "Good medicine tastes bitter. Your Highness took Doctor Yan's medicine yesterday, and I saw that he slept more soundly last night."
Seeing her irritated face, Gu Lintan said cautiously, "Miss Xiaochun is right. Since you have seen improvement after using it, I hope Your Highness will take care of your health and try to persist for a while."
Seeing that Jiang Xue did not answer, he continued, "If this person is really useless, I will naturally hire another famous doctor without your order."
"After dinner, I will accompany you."
Jiang Xue snorted coldly and said, "That's not necessary. My husband should just focus on those guards. I don't care how they are used, but my husband should not let these useless people get involved in the backyard where I live."
Jiang Xue stood up and looked at the table full of delicacies, thinking to herself, next time when I ask Fu Dong to cook, I must not call this guy over.
I came here just to act, and I couldn't even eat properly.
Jiang Xue said: "Take me to see him."
Fu Dong nodded in agreement, took two steps back to the side of the hall, and waited for Jiang Xue to go first.
Jiang Xue walked past Huang Fu and saw that Huang Fu was still kneeling on the ground.
"Uncle Huang, please get up quickly. If you do this, won't the Prince Consort be even more angry with me?"
After leaving a sarcastic remark, she immediately stormed out.
Gu Lintan and Huang Fu were left staring at each other.
Jiang Xue walked out of the small side hall, and Fu Dong led her to the main hall of Wenqingxuan.
She turned to Fu Dong and said, "Go find Ruan Yisui."
After Fu Dong left, she and Xiao Chun walked a few more steps. Outside the main hall, Jiang Xue looked around and saw that there were no servants from the Gu Mansion. She said:
"Go and arrange for the interrogation of the servant now."
"There are many servants in the Gu Mansion. Call them all here and interrogate them separately according to the tasks they were assigned to."
"As for those who have not been questioned, let Xiangyun and the other four, as well as the remaining Wu Anlang, help you keep an eye on them and make sure they don't have the chance to talk to those who have been questioned."
Xiaochun nodded and said, "Your Highness, are you going to see Master He alone? Do you need someone to guard the door?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and smiled knowingly, "Call everyone to the courtyard in front of the main house of Wenqingxuan and sit in the courtyard to question them."
After saying that, she walked forward and opened the door of the main house, nodded to Xiaochun, and then closed the door.
Xiaochun stood there and thought for a while, then walked towards the ear room where Wu Anlang lived.
Jiang Xue turned around and her eyes met He Zhilin's.
She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at He Zhilin, and said softly, "Brother He."
He Zhilin stood up, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Jiang Xue said: "You don't need to be polite when you see me in the future. After all, we grew up together."
He Zhilin felt sad.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time.
He Zhilin knew that the Gu Mansion was not a suitable place to stay for a long time, so he wanted to say something important and broke the silence.
"I heard from Fudong that someone broke into Qingxuan last night?"
Jiang Xue nodded, her face solemn.
"Did they catch anyone?" He Zhilin asked.
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "That man's skills are even better than Wu Anlang who was on duty last night, but we couldn't even find his trace."
"Wu'anlang is a guard directly under the Emperor and Empress. Not to mention the capital, even in Daji, there are not many people with higher military strength than him." He Zhilin was a little surprised.
"Do you have any clues? Or anyone who suspects?"
Jiang Xue was silent for a while, then raised her eyes and said, "Brother He, I owe the He family a lot, and I don't want to drag you into these muddy waters."
He Zhilin said: "I told you before that if you can't get He Zhilin to do things for you, just treat me as Yan Zhe."
"But I already know who you are. I can't treat you as a stranger who can be used."
He Zhilin said helplessly: "This is not the time for Your Highness to be indecisive."
"Besides, I have already been involved in this matter. Ever since I met Su Xi and her son and His Highness, Gu Lintan will look for me to make a deal no matter who I am."
"I am also involved in the matter of Gu Lintan. Even if it is just to get myself out of it, I will stand with His Highness."
"So, Your Highness, now is not the time to be sad and worried. If you don't want to see me, I won't come unless it's necessary. If the matter involves the Gu Mansion, Your Highness should communicate with me no matter what."
Jiang Xue looked at He Zhilin.
She knew it deep down, but she just didn't want to admit it.
She did feel guilty, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to track down clues about Suxi and her son.
She is not a good person, she just needs He Zhilin to give her an excuse.
An excuse that made her feel at ease.
And He Zhilin has already given it to her.
Jiang Xue smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I think Gu Lintan was responsible for what happened last night," she said slowly.
"If it was an ordinary thief, how could he sneak into Wenqingxuan without being discovered after entering the mansion?"
"The Gu family is married to the royal family and is considered quite prestigious at the moment. Ordinary thieves wouldn't have the courage to come here." He Zhilin said.
"Not only that," Jiang Xue said, "I was bathing in the room and talking to Fu Dong Xiaochun. That person must have been lying on the roof and eavesdropping."
"Bath?!" He Zhilin shouted in surprise.
"Keep your voice down," Jiang Xue pointed outside the door and continued, "If you want money, you should go to the warehouse, but Jiang Qibin checked and there is no sign of theft in the warehouse door lock."
"If you want revenge, you should go find Gu Lintan."
"Whether it's revenge or sex, no one would be stupid enough to cause trouble for the royal family, right?"
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "After thinking about it, it is most likely that this person was sent by Gu Lintan to monitor my words and actions."
"He is so mean." He Zhilin said angrily, "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Jiang Xue said, "Well, I found an excuse and am going to replace all the guards in this courtyard—and even the Gu Mansion—today."
"This will make it easier for me to move around."
He Zhilin said: "I have met Gu Lintan twice, and each time I felt that he was unusual, not like an ordinary poor student."
"Yes," Jiang Xue sighed, "I am now planning to investigate from different places. One of the things involves outside the palace, so I can only ask you to help me."
"You want to ask about the whereabouts of that mother and son?"
Jiang Xue nodded.
"I roughly remember the place, but it's useless to tell you now. Once you alert the enemy, it will arouse Gu Lintan's vigilance. Not only will we not be able to find him, but he might even become desperate and do something desperate." He Zhilin said.
Jiang Xue said: "So, I won't interfere in this matter."
She glanced at the door and said, "I will give you a Wu Anlang in a while. If you need help, just use him."
"What do I need Wu Anlang for?"
"It's hard to say. Sometimes, if you want to steal or be a thief, people with strong martial arts skills will always escape faster than you."
Jiang Xue said: "I will not interfere in this matter, but if there is any progress in the clues, you must send him to report to me in time."
He Zhilin looked at Jiang Xue, and after a while he seemed to have figured something out. He smiled and said, "Okay."
He has his own plans for Suxi and her son.
But he was not going to tell Jiang Xue now.
