A few days later, the person sent by Gu Jingyan brought the results to him.
Looking at the file in his hand, Gu Jingyan, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, frowned.
This Li Xiang is too unreliable! How dare he send two daughters into the palace at the same time?
Especially this Li Xiaodie, she is too bold and presumptuous, she actually dares to...!
He clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the desk in front of him, his chest heaving.
However, the spies have only been able to ascertain the situation outside the palace. Due to the regulations that prohibit outsiders from entering the palace, the situation inside the palace is inconvenient to investigate and needs further verification...
Now that we have figured out the situation outside and in the palace, we can find someone suitable to investigate.
Gu Jingyan originally had a simpler and more brutal method, such as going directly to Shuyu Palace to capture Li Xiaodie and others and torture and interrogate them.
However, this would have too much of an impact. He also had to consider that person's safety, feelings, and reputation...
He quickly called over his personal guard, handed the file to him, and ordered him to find Li Shushu as quickly as possible.
Afterwards, he began to feel uncontrollably restless. When he thought about seeing that sweet and soft person again soon, his heart began to beat fast...
Then I thought, that person has disappeared for more than ten days, I wonder how he is doing now?
He tried his best to maintain the composure of an emperor, but he actually felt that he was on edge and burning with anxiety.
He simply stood up from the dragon throne and paced anxiously in the Yangxin Palace, his fingers habitually stroking the jade ring.
The secret guards acted quickly. After only about half a day, they found Li Shushu's exact location.
…
The next day, early in the morning, two bodies were indeed fished out of the well in Xinzheku. The bodies had been soaked in the well water all night and had turned pale and swollen, but their eyes were wide open, showing how terrified they were when they died.
The situation at the scene was horrific, and someone soon reported it to the Ministry of Punishment, who came to investigate, but they couldn't find anything for a while.
However, no one would suspect Li Shushu, a weak woman who was unable to even lift a finger.
Soon, the manager of Xinzheku was replaced by the Nanny Li that Li Shushu was familiar with in his previous life.
However, it was different from her previous life. In her previous life, Nanny Li was just kind-hearted and treated her well silently, but in this life, she showed it quite obviously.
As a new official, Nanny Li made three big moves. She first called everyone over and gave them a lecture, then quickly dismissed everyone, leaving only Li Shushu alone with a kind face.
When no one else was around, she affectionately took Li Shushu's hand and said, "Young lady, you've suffered a lot recently. From now on, don't be afraid. I was arranged by the Seventh Prince, and I will take good care of you. Starting tomorrow, you won't have to clean the toilet anymore. You'll just be responsible for delivering the laundry to the other palaces."
That is to say, in her previous life, the Seventh Prince also secretly asked someone to look after her?
But in her previous life, until her death, no one had ever said this to her. Li Shushu didn't know what went wrong?
Old friends reunited, and although Nanny Li was unaware of this, Li Shushu still felt a little emotional.
She suppressed the emotions surging in her heart and just bowed politely. "In that case, I would like to thank Madam Li first."
Later, Li Shushu received an imperial decree to go to each palace to deliver the washed items.
She calculated the time. If she remembered correctly, today in her previous life was the second time that His Majesty summoned Li Xiaodie to sleep with him.
I vaguely remember that when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, donations were needed for disaster relief supplies. Prime Minister Li took the lead in donating a lot of silver and money, which made the emperor very happy. When he returned to the harem, he turned around and turned over Li Xiaodie's card.
However, in this life, due to Li Shushu's different performance, the Emperor's reaction was slightly different.
The last time, His Majesty came to Shuyu Palace in person. Tonight, will he not send someone to carry Li Xiaodie away, but come in person?
Li Shushu decided to try his luck no matter what.
However, when she was holding a tray and preparing to set off to various palaces with other palace servants, she ran into Gu Jingheng again at the entrance of Xinzheku.
After just one night, he looked noticeably more haggard, with red eyes and a blue stubble on his chin.
He stood two steps in front of her, not in a hurry to speak, just staring at her quietly.
Seeing this, his companions had to leave first.
When no one was around, Gu Jingheng slowly spoke: "Shushu, you didn't do this voluntarily, did you? I thought about it all night. As long as you didn't do this voluntarily, as long as you still have me in your heart... I will definitely find a way to get you out... even if it means being punished by my brother and mother..."
Seeing this, Li Shushu quickly took two steps forward and put her hand to his lips, looking around: "Your Highness, be careful with your words!
This servant is really not worthy of you doing this. I have to go to work now. Your Majesty, please do as you please and don't worry about me anymore."
After saying that, she turned around, walked past Gu Jingheng, and left without looking back.
Gu Jingheng was still unwilling to give in, and only called out softly from behind: "Shushu, this time I will do what I said and I will never break my promise.
"With Nanny Li here, you won't feel uncomfortable in the Xinzheku for the time being. Just stay here and I will rescue you as soon as possible. Just wait."
Hearing this, Li Shushu paused and frowned, but only for a moment, then she walked forward without looking back.
…
In the Yangxin Palace, the inner guards were reporting to Gu Jingyan, "I have found out that Miss Li Shushu is currently in the Xinzheku, but when I went there this afternoon, I saw her..."
