Early the next morning.
When Mu Chenshuang woke up, she was still in a daze, her mind filled with the scenes from her dream last night. She had inexplicably dreamed of Fu Junheng, of him harassing her and even seriously injuring Shen Nanzhi.
It wasn't until Linglong entered the room that Mu Chenshuang gradually came to her senses.
His attitude yesterday made everything clear: there would be no more connection between him and her; the dream was just a dream.
During the meal, Qi Ye reported on the events of the previous night. He had been secretly following Lu Wei all night, and sure enough, she had left the Marquis's residence.
Where did she go?
Qi Ye replied, "There's a house in the suburbs called Lanting Pavilion, but it's heavily guarded, and the guards are all top-notch experts, so I didn't dare get too close. It took her about an hour to come out."
Mu Chenshuang frowned slightly, put down her chopsticks, and murmured to herself, "Lantingxuan".
She did have some recollection of this house; it was bought by a mysterious person for an exorbitant price last year, but she had no information about who this mysterious person was.
"Then you can tell that those guards look like people from the palace."
Qi Ye replied, "I don't think so. I think they're more like people from martial arts sects."
That's not surprising; if you want to hide yourself, you naturally won't let anyone know your identity.
The people behind Lu Wei are definitely connected to the owner of this house.
The fact that someone dared to investigate a spiritual healer behind the scenes is something that people in the martial arts world would never do, so the owner of this house must be someone from the imperial court.
The fact that she could mobilize resources to conduct a covert investigation, that Lu Wei could obtain rare poisons so easily, and that she was suddenly interrogated by the Chengtianjian before.
When she thought about all these things, the only place she could think of was the Imperial Observatory.
I originally thought that Zhu Qin was interrogating her because he had a personal grudge against Lord Mu.
But now it seems that it's probably not that simple.
This Chengtianjian, one of the eight departments, monitors all the important officials of the Tianzhao Kingdom's court, including foreign envoys, and they are all subject to its secret surveillance.
The renowned Spirit Doctor of Xuanzhou Continent not only possesses the extraordinary medical skill of regenerating flesh from dead bones, but also holds an absolute position in the martial arts world. Now that he has appeared in the capital, he will naturally become the focus of the Chengtian Bureau's attention.
So, is the Chengtianjian really the power behind Lu Wei?
If that's true, then this matter becomes very tricky.
Seeing Mu Chenshuang's increasingly serious expression, Qi Ye asked in confusion, "Miss, have you guessed something?"
Mu Chenshuang's eyes darkened. "Indeed, I've guessed something very serious."
If Lu Wei is truly working for the Chengtian Bureau, isn't this pushing the Marquis's mansion ever closer to the brink of hell? Thinking of the fate of the Libei Prince's mansion, her heart couldn't help but clench.
It seems she must find a way to take the initiative and eliminate Lu Wei, this scourge of the Marquis's mansion.
"What's so serious?" Qi Ye pressed.
Mu Chenshuang didn't explain further, "From now on, just do as I instruct you."
"OK."
Qi Ye didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment.
Linglong walked over and asked, "Miss, where did your silk scarf go yesterday?"
Linglong cleans and tidies Mu Chenshuang's clothes every day, and she can clearly distinguish the silk scarves and jewelry that come with them, so she can naturally notice if anything is missing.
Mu Chenshuang was puzzled, but she hadn't noticed that the silk scarf was missing.
"Take another look, did it fall on the ground?"
Linglong replied, "I've looked everywhere, but I haven't seen it. Did you accidentally drop it while you were out sightseeing yesterday, Miss?"
Mu Chenshuang pondered, but couldn't recall where she had lost the scarf.
