Gu Yunru was waiting for news in the mansion. When he saw Qingxing jogging towards him, he wiped his hands excitedly.

"how's it going?"

"Princess, I have heard that a batch of military supplies was found in the gambling house. Now, Xie Changyong can't escape."

To be honest, Xie Changyong was really unlucky. He was discovered at this time.

And all this was just a little trick of Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru.

"Great, where is he now?" Gu Yunru raised an eyebrow and asked. Qingxing scratched her head hesitantly. "Princess, do you want to thank the Second Young Master?"

"Yes, we have to keep him under surveillance now. If he leaks information to the outside world..."

Gu Yunru paced back and forth and came up with a good idea.

"Princess, the person has been taken to the Dali Temple. Not everyone can enter the Dali Temple." Qingxing smiled gently. This was good. No one was competing with the princess for business.

"Okay, let's just wait for good news." Gu Yunru's eyes revealed a hint of deepness. At this moment, the housekeeper handed a letter to her. Gu Yunru frowned curiously and asked, "Who sent this?"

"It was a little beggar who said he must hand it over to the princess."

The housekeeper heard someone knocking at the door. When he opened it, he saw a little beggar running away quickly and the envelope was thrown on the ground.

Qing Xing frowned in confusion when she saw this, worried that there might be poison or something hidden inside.

"Princess, let me help you open it." Qingxing was afraid that there might be something fishy inside and she would get hurt.

When she opened the envelope, there was indeed a piece of paper inside, asking her to meet at a teahouse early the next morning.

"Princess...what's written here?" Qingxing couldn't read a single word. Seeing the princess's slightly frowned brows, she frowned as well and looked at her curiously.

"Nothing, butler, don't tell anyone about this for now, understand?"

"clear!"

The butler nodded and left Ginkgo Garden first.

The next morning, Gu Yunru came to the teahouse wearing a white gauze dress and a veiled hat, waiting for the mysterious man to appear. She asked Qingxing to guard the door and report if there was any movement.

Gu Yunru stood by the window, watching people coming and going on the street, when she heard someone push open the door behind her.

She quickly turned around and saw that it was Xie Changming. He was leaning towards her step by step with the crutch in his hand. Although his movements were inconvenient, it was obvious that he had become one with the crutch and walking was not so strenuous anymore.

"Mr. Xie, you asked me to come here?"

Gu Yunru's eyes darkened and she walked towards him.

"That's right. I hope I didn't disturb you, Princess." Xie Changming wanted to bow to her, but seeing that he was in some discomfort, Gu Yunru quickly helped him up. Their eyes met for a moment, and they were glued together, and a spark faintly flew.

"What on earth did the eldest master ask me to come here for?"

Gu Yunru looked at him with an expression that clearly indicated that she was asking for help. Was it because of Xie Changyong's matter? "Princess, I was recovering at home before, and it was only later that I heard about my second brother's matter. I didn't expect him to be so rude and even set fire to Keren Pavilion. Although my father has protected me, as the eldest brother, I understand how willful my second brother is."

"Mr. Xie said so much, actually he wanted to plead for the Second Young Master, right?" The relationship between Gu Yunru and Xie Changming was pretty good. Although they couldn't be considered as close confidants, the impression they had left on each other in the past was pretty good. In addition, because of his leg... Gu Yunru also had some responsibility and had been blaming herself all the time.

"As the eldest brother, I am not able to discipline my younger brother. This is my dereliction of duty as the eldest brother."

The guilt in Xie Changming's eyes grew deeper and he sat aside.

"This matter hasn't even been traced back to your father yet, and you're so anxious." Gu Yunru knew that this matter must be closely related to the Xie family. If they investigated further, they might be able to uproot the power behind it. This was also what Rong Zhen hoped for.

The worry on his face was like a gloomy cloud. With drooping eyelids, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Gu Yunru, sighed and said, "I just hope that the princess can ask the prince for mercy. If this matter is over, the Xie family will cover up its edge and will not threaten anyone again."

Xie Changming is indeed a man who understands the overall situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. Although the matter has not yet been investigated, he has already foreseen what will happen in the future. Gu Yunru admires his courage and strategy.

"I should have given Mr. Xie some face, but this matter is not something that I can persuade the prince to stop. Besides, if the Xie family really has a clear conscience, why would they do this?"

Gu Yunru had already made it clear to him. After hearing this, Xie Changming's face paused, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Perhaps he also knew what the Xie family had done in the past few years. Secretly hiding military supplies was already a light crime, and there might be even more unforgivable crimes.

"Don't worry, my dear, the emperor will make his own decision. You and I should not act hastily." After saying this, it was like a reassurance to him. The emperor would naturally not target Xie Yihui first, and the Xie family could naturally call the shots in the court, but they had to be restrained and low-key.

"Thank you for the reminder, Princess."

A heavy stone in Xie Changming's heart fell to the ground.

Dali Temple.

Cheng Shaoyuan discussed with several other adults and decided that the military funds paid would be converted into silver, a total of five million taels of silver.

Xie Changyong waited in the prison and finally saw a life-saving straw, his elder brother Xie Changming. He walked in, wearing a black hood, slowly put his hat down, and held a food box in his hand, apparently to bring him food.

"Brother! Did my father ask you to save me? I knew my father would never forget me!" Xie Changyong was disheveled and pale.

During the days he spent in prison, he felt a strong despair enveloping him, and he just wanted to leave this dark place as soon as possible! Seeing Xie Changming coming to the dungeon, he was extremely excited, holding on to the railing with his hands, staring at his actions, and saw Xie Changming slowly taking out the food in the box.

"Let's eat first."

After Xie Changming finished speaking, he looked at him. Xie Changyong nodded violently, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food. Judging from his appearance, he had suffered a lot of abuse in prison. Xie Changming sighed and looked at him while eating while whispering.

"Father has tried many ways to save you, but the situation is special now, and father needs to protect himself, so some things may not be rushed."
