Chapter 378 Active Probing

Shu Hong hesitated for only a moment, but still told Si Linglong the news.

Since it was something the master had asked her to do, there was no reason for her to make decisions on his behalf.

When Si Linglong heard about the man's clothes, she subconsciously thought of the black hem of Gu Qingquan's cloak that was exposed on the day he was found, and guessed that it might be that man's clothes.

And it is very likely that the clothes belonged to Wu Lie.

Si Linglong had no idea how Gu Qingquan was going to test him, so she could only order people to keep an eye on him.

[Although Ah Yue said that I could help her if she came to me, but with Sister Quan's personality, there is no way she would come to me for help. I still have to take the initiative.]

While Si Linglong was thinking about it, Gu Qingquan went straight to Helian Yue.

She rarely came to see him, but she said she wanted to give Wu Lie some rewards.

The reason is simple.

"I am grateful to Lord Wu for protecting me this time, so I want to send some food to show my gratitude."

Helian Yue thought that the only possible dilemma was that Gu Qingquan came directly to him to ask for answers.

But she didn't mention it, and she deliberately found such a high-sounding reason, so Helian Yue naturally had no choice but to agree.

"Wu Lie has made great contributions this time. I will give you another reward after you return to the palace. If you want to give it to me, then give it to me."

Gu Qingquan nodded slightly in agreement. The reason she asked this question specifically was just to confirm which tent Wu Lie was in.

Generally, there are several empty tents around the royal tent. Some of these tents are prepared for the secret guards, while the other part is left empty to confuse outsiders and make it difficult to tell which ones are the secret guards.

Therefore, except Fu Tai who was beside Helian Yue, few people knew which tents the secret guards lived in.

Gu Qingquan might be someone people would ask about, but that would easily attract attention.

It’s better to ask openly.

That day, Xiang Ye went to Wu Lie's tent with a food box.

Gu Qingquan did not tell Xiangye about his suspicion of Wu Lie's identity. Xiangye just thought that he was delivering food, so he put the food down, said a few words of gratitude and left.

After everyone left, Wu Lie opened the food box. He saw that in addition to the two boxes of usual pastries on the top, the empty layers at the bottom contained the clothes he had lent to Gu Qingquan.

Although Gu Qingquan agreed to let Xiangye secretly send the clothes back, he could not carry the bag over openly. Even if Xiangye sent it back secretly, she might be discovered on the way and cause trouble.

Wu Lie took the clothes out of the box. The blood-stained clothes had been washed clean, and even the hole in the shoulder blade caused by the arrow had been carefully repaired.

Wu Lie looked at the traces of repair and thought about it.

She is good at shooting, but hates needles and thread.

This is obviously not something she added.

Even so, Wu Lie felt it was very good.

I carefully put the clothes away, but when I touched the bottom of the box, I accidentally got some powder on my hand.

Wu Lie paused slightly, and rubbed the extremely thin layer of powder with his long fingers. Under the mask, his pair of black eyes seemed to be deep.

After lunch, when the sun was still warm, Wu Lie ordered the food to be brought down. As he was washing his hands, he heard a message from outside, "Sir, the doctor ordered by Eunuch Futai to change the medicine has arrived."

Wu Liejing paused for a moment, then responded in a deep voice, "Come in."

As he finished speaking, the curtain was opened from the outside, and a thin medical officer came forward with a medicine box on his back, bowed his head and saluted him slightly.

Wu Lie looked at the person in front of him, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't need to change the medicine here, you can go back."

Compared to his usual cold voice, Wu Lie's tone at this time sounded more like he was discussing with the person in front of him.

The doctor's head was still hanging, but he said, "Today's medicine was re-prepared by the hospital. The emperor ordered us to take good care of the master's injuries, and I dare not disobey."

The voice was deliberately lowered, and although it was imitated very similarly, the leader of the Dark Guard Battalion, who was good at gathering intelligence and seeing the truth in the details, still heard the flaws.

He looked at the head in front of him that was always lowered, pursed his lips and hesitated, wondering whether he should just expose the other person's identity.

Expose the person in front of you...Empress Quan.
