After Jiang Xue finished speaking, her eyes did not dodge and she looked firmly at Jing Ye who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.

She knew that these words would have to be said sooner or later when facing Jing Ye - or in other words, Xiao Qi.

She didn't know how long Jing Ye wanted to hide this identity. No matter how long it took, she would continue to act with him.

Perhaps, only when the truth comes to light, will he be willing to reveal his identity as Xiao Qi; perhaps, he has given up on Xiao Qi forever.

None of it matters.

But she didn't want to hide these words, and she didn't need to.

If Jing Ye hadn't appeared, she would have continued to live her life as a princess of Changle with her love and hatred for Xiao Qi.

The two of them were silent for a long time. The moonlight outside the window was as cool as water, falling on Jing Ye's body, stretching his figure into a long line, spreading to the soles of Jiang Xue's feet.

Jing Ye clenched his fists slightly, his voice was still hoarse, but with a hint of ridicule.

"I don't know why the princess would say such heartfelt words to me," he said lightly, "I was just teasing you a few words. Don't you think the princess feels that the relationship is a bit deep?"

He really didn't care.

Jiang Xue's eyelashes were long, covering her lost eyes, and she said slowly: "Well, it's just what I want to say. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

"Gu's time is precious, and the princess no longer has to express her feelings to Gu."

Jing Ye suddenly turned around and his tone returned to normal.

"It's better to tell Gu Lin, why did you know about this early in the morning, but refused to reveal a word to Gu? If Gu Lintan's identity is really consistent with what the traitor said, this mother and son will be extremely valuable."

"I didn't believe you at that time," Jiang Xue said. "I knew they were valuable, but I didn't want you to interfere. With the prince's magical power, it would be impossible to get Su Xi's mother and son into his hands without anyone noticing. It's difficult. I'm afraid that if something like this really happens, I will have to be controlled by the prince."

The importance of Su Xi's mother and son is, firstly, their ability to influence her to request an end of the marriage, and secondly - based on what Gu Lintan did to them, it is not difficult to see how important they are to Gu Lintan. If you get this hostage handle, you may be able to influence Gu Lintan.

She didn't think Jing Ye would leave such a good chess piece unused.

Jing Ye said coldly: "Then why are you willing to talk today?"

Jiang Xue was slightly startled.

Because Jing Ye can, but Xiao Qi may not.

Also because——

"Because I have already thought of a way so that although the prince knows about their existence, he can only help me investigate from the side, but cannot influence the whereabouts of the mother and son."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qiong opened the door and came in.

"Cousin!" She said with excitement in her voice: "It's here, Gu Lintan is here!"

"Where are you?" Jiang Xue was not surprised when she saw her walking in, her face was still calm and she asked calmly.

"I was squatting at the entrance of Lin'an Street and saw Gu's carriage entering the street, and Huang Fu was sitting in front of the carriage."

Jiang Xue nodded, turned to Jing Ye and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you curious about what the good man I asked for today was sent to do?"

Jing Ye raised his eyes and said firmly: "You asked the little junior sister Gu to guard Gu Lintan, and then you personally came here to wait. I think it will make him anxious - is it the mother and son?"

"Are they here?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Your Majesty, come with me to have a look and you will know."

After saying that, Jiang Xue said to Lu Qiongshuang: "Go and get the carriage ready downstairs. Follow Gu Lintan's car and park it in Lin'an Street. Remember to pick a more secluded corner."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded and asked, "Cousin, shall we go there first?"

Jiang Xue said, "Well, you and the prince will be together later." After that, she glanced at Jing Ye and said, "You both have good skills. Come with me first and watch from the side."

The three of them left Hai Yuntian, leaving only Mo Tian guarding the door of the private room.

It was still early before the time agreed with He Zhilin, Jiang Xue thought to herself, it would be almost time to come back after finishing the play.

In the Suxi courtyard.

Gu Lintan hurriedly got off the carriage and saw several mute servants in the courtyard who were at a loss. He turned back to Huang Fu and said, "Let them pack their things. Where are Madam and Chuan'er?"

Huang Fu said: "Madam was a little frightened in the afternoon, and she should be taking a rest with the young master at the moment."

Before evening, he received a message from Su Xi at his residence, saying that there were people lingering in front of the courtyard gate today. Before sunset, a masked man wearing a bamboo hat tried to force his way into the courtyard gate. Fortunately, There were many people walking in the market, so he couldn't succeed.

When Huang Fu hurried to Lin'an Street, he happened to meet Lao Xu who was running a noodle stall in the opposite corner of the courtyard. When Lao Xu saw him arriving, he rushed over and asked her if the owner of this courtyard was surnamed Gu and if his wife was named Suxi. ? It is said that shortly after lunch, two village women came here to inquire about their relatives.

Huang Fu heard this and hurriedly excused himself. He only said that his surname was Huang, but he didn't know the person he was talking about. After meeting Su Xi, he felt that something was really wrong, so he returned to Gu Mansion to look for Gu Lintan.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lintan was not in the mansion, but when he was pulling the carriage to the stable, he heard that the boy raising the horse mentioned that Her Royal Highness the Princess had returned to Wen Qingxuan angrily not long ago, and had just caught Fu Dong again. He ordered horses and chariots to be prepared. Seeing that the battle was not small, he didn't know whether he was going to the palace or where.

Huang Fu thought of everything that happened today, and suddenly he was startled. He felt that something was going to happen, so he hurriedly got into his car and went out to look for Gu Lintan.

Fortunately, Gu Lintan has been on duty in the Ministry of Etiquette these days. He can't get away from the affairs of the mission, and something happened to Jing Zhaoyin regarding the registration of the business group, so he is almost extremely busy these days. The sky was dark and the ground was dark. When Huang Fu said it, he was shocked and couldn't care about anything else. He was just afraid that others would find out the clues, so he hurried to Lin'an Street, hoping to move Su Xi's mother and son to another residence before the incident happened.

Fortunately, when he arrived at the courtyard, everything was still as before, there was no sign of anyone visiting, and Su Xi's mother and son were sleeping peacefully on the couch.

Gu Lintan said to Huang Fu behind him with a gloomy face: "I sent people to clean up the village in the suburbs of Beijing. I will send them there in a while."

Huang Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "Master...isn't it too eye-catching?"

Gu Lintan said: "After today, I will think of ways to give them a name in the clan, so I only mentioned the relatives of the clan who came to Beijing to seek refuge. There is no other way at the moment. If anyone discovers their true identity, everything will be ruined." It’s ruined.”

Huang Ful nodded repeatedly, and seeing that Gu Lintan had already entered the room to wake up the mother and son, he turned around and called a few mute servants who were packing up their belongings, and made a few gestures.

Gu Lintan hugged the sleeping Chuan'er and walked out of the room with the frightened Su Xi. He saw that the carriage had entered the yard and was about to ask Su Xi to get on the carriage quickly.

Unexpectedly, behind the courtyard, a large number of fallen leaves passed by in the night wind, making a "rustling" sound. Gu Lintan turned around cautiously, but he heard the sound of a sword blade buzzing, coming straight towards the courtyard.

He was so frightened that he quickly climbed onto the carriage with his child in his arms, and said to Huang Fu in a deep voice: "Hurry up! Drive the horse!"

However, six black-clothed and masked figures settled in the courtyard, surrounding the carriage and standing quietly.

Not far away from the towering ancient trees, Lu Qiong clapped her hands and turned back to Jiang Xue excitedly: "Cousin, is this a good show you came up with?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a dark night and the wind is high, it's a murderous night, it's really exciting!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Jiang Xue softly say: "You guys wait here, I'll go down and take care of some things first."

She clapped her hands, and Chen Jin and Chen Xiu appeared at some unknown time, carrying her down from the ancient tree and landing directly on the carriage that was parked not far away.

Jiang Xue said coldly to the two of them: "Let's go in and take a look at the excitement."
