Jiang Wan deliberately took a less crowded side path.
Sure enough, just as I circled around the corridor, a figure flashed out from behind me.
“Gu Yurong has already sensed something is wrong. Don’t go back. For the next few days, disguise yourself as a servant and stay by my side.”
"Yes, Master." Shi Xu replied in a low voice.
Jiang Wan then asked, "Have you seen Shen Ci?"
Anticipating that Song Tingyue would make things difficult for her, she instructed Shen Ci not to stray too far from her, but today, he was not there.
Could something have happened?
Shi Xu shook his head: "Should I check it out?"
A noise came from not far away, and the two immediately fell silent and quietly walked over.
Beyond a flowerbed lies Song Tingyue's courtyard.
As darkness fell, two figures could be vaguely seen in the warehouse, one of whom was Song Tingyue.
But shouldn't she be pretending to be sick in bed at this time?
Jiang Wan became suspicious.
She and Shixu hid behind a sycamore tree outside the wall, and could vaguely hear their voices coming from there.
"Song'er was my most clever maid, but unfortunately... she died just like that!"
Another person said, "Jiang is cunning. For the sake of the bigger picture, don't provoke her anymore."
"No! She's too clever. If she stays in the General's Mansion, she'll discover our secret sooner or later!" Song Tingyue's voice was shrill. "I won't feel at ease until I get rid of her as soon as possible..."
"So what do you want to do?"
The two suddenly lowered their voices.
Jiang Wan took two steps forward, trying to hear more clearly, but her foot suddenly stepped on a broken tile, making a very soft sound.
The lights in the room suddenly went out.
She realized something was wrong and was about to retreat when she suddenly heard a sound coming from the tree.
Someone was hiding in the tree, eavesdropping just like her.
Moreover, that person must have discovered her as well.
Jiang Wan turned around and gestured for Shi Xu to leave. The next moment, a figure flew out from the dense shadows of the trees and landed in front of her.
"Your Highness?"
Jiang Wan was slightly surprised.
She looked up.
The branches of the sycamore trees overhead rustled softly before falling silent.
Pei Xuan glanced behind her: "Who's that?"
Jiang Wan remained expressionless: "It's just me, Your Highness, you've mistaken me."
Pei Xuan snorted coldly.
He clearly saw the back of a man.
Who else could be acting so suspiciously besides her lover?
