The body was kept for three days. On the day of the funeral, Gu Tangli struggled to get up and bid farewell to Mu Jin.

A place with beautiful mountains and rivers was chosen as her final resting place. Despite her frail health, Gu Tangli personally planted two hibiscus trees in front of the grave.

She said, "She has long been a family member to me. I hate Gu Hanzhou but I cannot forgive myself."

Jiang Xue Ning poured a glass of wine in front of the grave, "You have to live well, so that she can feel at ease."

She had read the letter left by Mu Jin, and had to say that with such a friend, her life was complete.

Gu Tangli burned paper and whispered, "Ajin, go with peace of mind. I will avenge you. If there is a next life, I will be your sister and protect you."

"From now on, I will only be the eleventh in the Gu family, and never be the number one again."

This matter cannot be let go like this. She also wants Gu Hanzhou to taste the feeling of losing the most important person.

After returning to the mansion, she forced herself to go to the study, wrote a letter and gave it to Jiang Xue Ning along with the token, "Sister, please send someone to deliver this letter to Mobei as quickly as possible. The contact information is in the brocade bag."

Jiang Xue Ning unhesitatingly opened the brocade bag in front of her. On it was the address of a store in Mobei Imperial City, and judging from the name, it sounded like a rouge and powder shop.

There was only one sentence in the letter, "Mu Jin is dead, kill Gu Hanzhoushan's brother and sister-in-law quickly!"

The fact that he dared to kill Gu Hanzhou's brother and sister-in-law in Mobei shows that he is not simple either.

"Do you have helpers in Mobei?"

There was nothing to hide at this point, so Gu Tangli said frankly, "She is the eldest princess of Mobei and Gu Hanzhou's fiancée."

"You really came prepared."

He actually got involved with the Princess of Mobei. If the poison in his body had not yet been proven to have no antidote, Gu Hanzhou would have lost this round long ago.

She sighed, "When Gu Hanzhou wanted me to go back to Xiangchu, it was exactly what I wanted."

Her original plan was to take risks and bring Gu Hanzhou to Xiangchu, and find a way to get the antidote. At the right time, she would confess everything to Jiang Xuening and kill him in Xiangchu, and the princess would completely eradicate his power in Mobei.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. She didn't expect that Gu Hanzhou had another card here, nor did she expect everything to happen so quickly.

Her plan had not yet been fully implemented, but Mu Jin had already left in order to avoid becoming Gu Hanzhou's weak spot.

She originally wanted to gamble with the baby in her belly and Gu Hanzhou's younger siblings to get the antidote for Mu Jin.

Now that he is dead, there is no need to keep his brothers and sisters.

Gu Hanzhou killed the person she cared about most, so she would kill Gu Hanzhou's only blood relative in the world, repaying him in kind.

As for the child, it is his luck not to come into this world.

She felt sorry for him and hoped that he could be reborn into a good family.

Jiang Xue Ning concluded, "So it was Gu Hanzhou who wanted to use you to plot against Xiang Chu, and you teamed up with the Mobei Princess to plot against him?"

"Yes."

"I have been playing along with him and not telling you the truth. On the one hand, it's because the antidote issue has not been resolved, and on the other hand, it's because I found out that he has a hidden card." She analyzed calmly, "That hidden card is the reason why he made up his mind to really enter Xiangchu, and I am just a cover."

Betting everything on her is really taking it too far. Gu Hanzhou is not such a ridiculous and brainless person.

Jiang Xue Ning nodded, "So this hidden card is in Xiangchu, and its status is not low."

Otherwise, Gu Hanzhou would not have made such an ambitious gamble. It turned out that there was a traitor within the group.

Although she had carried out several purges after she came back, after all, she had lost control over Xiangchu for so many years, so it was not unexpected that there would be problems within.

"So who is that person? Do you have any idea?"

Gu Tangli shook her head. "I'm not sure. Gu Hanzhou is very cautious about this."

If this person cannot be found, he will sooner or later become the biggest hidden danger.

Jiang Xue Ning said, "I have already ordered a city-wide search for Gu Hanzhou."

It is impossible to catch him, but we have to put pressure on him to see if we can force him to take the next step as soon as possible.

"Go back and have a good rest. I'm going to meet someone later. Maybe I can get some ideas after the meeting."

"Who is that person?" she asked curiously.

Jiang Xue Ning smiled and said, "He is the president of the largest chamber of commerce in Hunan and Chu, and a young man who enjoys playing with the world and devoting his love to the mountains and rivers."

"Okay, wait until you guys finish talking and then we'll continue." She said with a pale face, "Actually, I do have a clue."

But that guess was too scary, and she couldn't jump to conclusions without more clues.

The two were talking when Bai Zhu came in with a sour face, "Who is dead or disabled? I am almost falling apart and almost died on the road..."

The people who went there pulled him back at full speed, not even giving him a chance to speak.

"Let Tangli take a good look..."

Bai Zhu smiled awkwardly, "So it's Tangli. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Thank you for your help..." Gu Tangli said weakly, "There is no rush. You must be tired after your journey. Go and have a rest first. I will go back to my room first."

She had no hope that the poison could be cured. She just wanted to survive until she could watch Gu Hanzhou be defeated and go to hell.

After the people left, Bai Zhu asked, "What's going on? Her face is as pale as if she has been dead for three days and three nights."

"The child is gone, her body is poisoned." Jiang Xue Ning sighed, "Anyway, try your best to find a way to save her life."

"I try my best."

Baizhu drank a glass of water and immediately went to see Dr. Zhou to find out what happened.

Qing He asked, "Where is the banquet tonight?"

She sneered, "Put it in Jinghong Tower, let me meet him."

This was clearly a Hongmen Banquet, and Wu Jin personally led people to plan it.

Jiang Xue Ning dealt with official business for a while before getting up and leaving.

Jinghong Tower was shrouded in thousands of lights, and was illuminated as brightly as day, with teahouses on both sides. It was the most lively at night, with the sound of laughter and stringed instruments.

She wore a black dress and tied her hair up, and went up to Jinghong Tower in a low-key manner. A banquet had been set up upstairs, and leaning on the railing, she could overlook the lights of thousands of houses in Chu City.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at it and said, "Do you think the hidden card is in Chu City or Xiang City?"

Xiangcheng is the largest city and the commercial center of Xiangchu, and is very prosperous.

Chu City is hidden behind Xiang City, and is the place where power in Xiang and Chu is concentrated. The powerful and aristocratic families in Xiang and Chu, including her, all live in Chu City. This is the most strictly managed place in the entire Xiang and Chu, and it is also the power center.

Wu Jin said softly, "If it was in Chu City, it would be a horror story."

"Everything is possible."

She was even certain that the man's status was not low. In a sense, he could shake the foundation of Xiangchu, so it was worth Gu Hanzhou's risk to come here in person.

Backstabbing won't be successful this time.

She was very curious about who held this hidden card.
