Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jing Ye took the booklet, flipped through it a few times, and looked at Jiang Xue with raised eyebrows.

Jiang Xue said: "This is a small matter of purchasing for the inner house."

"But that day when the prince..." Jiang Xue suddenly paused and said awkwardly: "The prince visited Gu's house at night, and I sent people to Gu Lintan's place to look for trouble, acting as if he was the cause of the trouble. Early the next morning, Huang Fu, who had already lost his power as the steward of Gu Mansion, still took the money in the treasury and went out to make purchases."

"If he really went out to buy for the expenses of the mansion, he obviously only needed to buy enough from this grain store in the north of the city, but he took a detour to the south of the city and made two purchases."

"This account book was copied out by me at the grain store and then compared with the house's incoming and outgoing accounts."

"Huang Fu has someone go out for shopping every four or five days. Every time he goes to this grain store to buy, Huang Fu goes there in person."

"The quantity purchased each time is not large. I also asked people to inquire. Compared with the Chengbei East Street Grain Store where Gu Fu often purchases, in fact, the type and quality of the grain are not as good as that of this store. What a difference.”

"So, I suspect that this food store is definitely not that simple."

Jing Ye interrupted: "Do you think this is a stronghold for Gu Lintan to communicate with others?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain. Gu Lintan was related to these personnel in the letter intercepted by the prince. The place where Beixi's horse appeared happened to be where Gu Lintan asked his confidant to deliver the letter. The place."

"So, now I am more inclined to the second guess than the first guess."

"Someone wants to inspect the goods." Jiang Xue said firmly, "Besides, the matter between Gu Lintan and Bei Xi is absolutely inseparable."

Jing Ye nodded and said, "I understand. Rather than searching for a needle in a haystack to find out how many such caravans there are in Ji and Qian, it's better to just start with this grain store."

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "That's it. Your Majesty really knows everything."

Jing Ye glanced sideways at her, and Jiang Xue realized that she had used the wrong words and said, "No, it's the prince who is unparalleled in his resourcefulness."

Jing Ye sarcastically said, "Princess, you must be praising yourself."

Jiang Xue was choked and had nothing to say, so she had to lower her head and pretend to drink tea without answering.

For a long time, the two just sat facing each other in silence drinking tea. Jiang Xue felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so she cautiously said: "Your Majesty, I really can't spare the time to find out these things at the moment, so I can only bother you. .”

Firstly, she really doesn't have the manpower, and secondly, she doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water yet.

Her original purpose was to find out the identity and purpose of Gu Lintan. Since Gu Lintan was already involved in their Qianguo affairs, she simply let Jing Ye investigate on his own.

If found out, she would take advantage of the situation and kick Gu Lintan out of the Prince Consort's Mansion - which would then be called the Princess' Mansion.

If she cannot be found out, she will not be involved in the dispute between Qian Guo and Beixi if she is hidden, and Ji Chao will be able to survive alone.

When Jing Ye heard this, he simply said: "If you know that you have troubled me, the princess should repay you in time."

Jiang Xue said: "How can I not repay the favor? Now I will tell you everything I know, and all the clues will be handed over to the prince. Can't the prince still see that I have a heart to repay my kindness?"

Jing Ye changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Is the princess still concerned about Xiao Qi's matter?"

Jiang Xue's face instantly dimmed, and she said in a low voice, "I have some features."

"You don't need Gu's help in this matter?" Jing Ye said with a smile, "The princess is really good at handling things."

"His matter," Jiang Xue said softly, "I want to investigate it myself."

Jing Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that he had walked to the window, Jiang Xue said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, my yard is very safe. Just walk through the door without worries."

"Oh? Which door should I take?" Jing Ye suddenly looked at her with interest and said, "The front door of Gu's residence?"

Jiang Xue said "Uh" and said: "That's not true, just go through the door of this room, and then... jump over the wall... and go out..."

Jiang Xue's voice became softer and softer, and she felt that she had no confidence in what she said. She simply said: "Your Majesty, you can go wherever you like."

After all, there is no difference between jumping out of a window and jumping over a wall.

Jing Ye just sneered and was about to leave when Jiang Xue suddenly called him back.

"Your Majesty, if I come to discuss matters with you in the future, I can't go to Wanbao Tower to talk to Ji Yan every time, right?" Jiang Xue whispered, "It's really inconvenient for me to go out. The Gu family's carriage is always too showy. I really There's no way I can sneak out and sneak in like a thief again and again, it's too..."

Jiang Xue said awkwardly: "It's so disrespectful."

"Isn't the princess always fond of climbing walls?" Jing Ye immediately counterattacked, "While I was alone outside the Gu Mansion, I saw the princess coming down the courtyard wall a few times. I thought it was the princess's hobby."

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I can't do this every day. It will arouse suspicion sooner or later. Doesn't the prince have an easier way to convey the message to you?"

She looked at Jing Ye and said tentatively: "You are such a high-ranking person and you are a member of the world. You must have some magic weapon, right?"

Jing Ye really stood there and thought about it. After a while, he reached out and took out a bottle of something and threw it into Jiang Xue's hand.

"If something happens, put this thing on a handkerchief and wave it outside for a while, and something with a message will come looking for you."

After saying that, he suddenly took out another jade pendant from his arms and threw it into Jiang Xue's hand.

"If you encounter any emergency, ask someone to take this to the temple clothing store. If the Yuwei next to you sees it, it will be of use to you."

Jiang Xue hurriedly took it and put it away, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. It's just such a precious thing..."

Jing Ye returned an iceberg-like look and turned to leave.

Jiang Xue stood with a flattering smile and waved to him.

After Jiang Xue confirmed that he was gone, she immediately put back her playful expression and immediately walked over to close the window.

She put the things Jing Ye gave her into her makeup basket, then opened the door and called Xiaochun.

"Go and call Gan Ning over for me." Jiang Xue said in a deep voice.

Ruan Yisui is monitoring the movements of Su Xi's mother and son, and Jiang Qibin is accompanying He Zhilin. Now she has four Wu Anlangs left, and there are still many things that must be done by her own people.

Xiaochun nodded, and not long after, Gan Ning arrived.

Gan Ning was about to salute, but Jiang Xue waved her hand to excuse him and asked, "If I remember correctly, are you from Hexi?"

Gan Ning said in a deep voice: "Yes."

"Okay," Jiang Xue said, "I have something to entrust you to handle. This matter is related to the national system. You must swear that you will never reveal any information."

Gan Ning was stunned, then came to his senses for a moment, raised his left hand and said, "Yes, I swear by my military honor and my future."

Kang Inquire and inquire, be sure to find this person and bring him to the capital."

Jiang Xue suddenly had a strange premonition, thought about it carefully, sighed, and said:

"If he dies, ask him how he died. Find his family or his personal followers and bring him to the capital. I have something to ask."
