Gu Shaoyu knew that Xie Zhaozhao was hiding many things from him.

For example, the courtyard in Tianhou Lane in South City.

She even found a little beggar to watch over the place. The little beggar also had a eavesdropper. Yuanyuan would go to see the little beggar once in a while.

Although he had warned Bei Chen and the secret guards not to spy on Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Shaoyu still felt a little sour in his heart.

I don’t know why Xie Zhaozhao wanted to monitor that yard. Could it be that she couldn’t let go of Gu Chengyan?

On the day of marriage discussion after Shangsi Festival, he met Xie Zhaozhao by chance in the garden of Xie Mansion. He immediately determined that this was his "chance" and begged the old lady to help him marry Xie Zhaozhao.

It can be considered as breaking up her and Gu Chengyan. Even though she doesn't say it, is she always thinking about Gu Chengyan in her heart?

However, he later heard that it was not him who broke them up, but Living Buddha Yuanji!

Am I too old?

He is exactly one generation older than her!

So when she calls herself "old man" or "grandfather", does she really think of herself as an old grandfather?

Lord Gu, who had never doubted himself since childhood, now felt a little overwhelmed with self-confidence.

He walked over to the Renshou Mirror in the palace, stood in front of the huge bronze mirror, and looked himself up and down.

She doesn't age! Her hair is black, she doesn't have a single wrinkle, and her teeth are all very white and neat.

He is tall, noble, dignified, self-disciplined, and motivated... He is much better than Gu Chengyan, who is flashy inside and out.

He slowly moved from the mirror to the outside of the hall, looking outside majestically without saying a word.

Xie Zhaozhao, in this life, no matter who you like, I will never let go.

It doesn’t matter even if you don’t like me in this life, as long as I like you.

I will indulge you, give you freedom, let you do whatever you want, oh no, you are not allowed to leave me!

I will pamper you, infinitely, until I can't pamper you anymore.

I will wait for you and give you time. I don't want you to "marry on orders" or "treat each other with equal respect". I want you to treat me as your first person...

Qingpu Courtyard.

Yuanyuan was holding a bowl of food and feeding a cage of robins under the corridor. The cage had a felt curtain made of straw, so the birds had food and water and were not cold. However, Xiaoxin's robin had not come back for a long time, so she felt a little strange.

"Miss, I'm going to South City to see why Xiao Xin hasn't sent any news yet? Is something wrong with him?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Then you should go and have a look quickly. If it affects his safety, then some things should be stopped."

Yuanyuan led the horse out of the house, and seeing that no one was following her, she ran all the way to South City to find Xiaoxin.

As soon as Xiao Xin saw her, he anxiously said, "Sister Yuanyuan, why did you come just now?"

"Ah? Why haven't you replied to me yet? Is there any movement over there?"

Xiao Xin was stunned: "I already replied to you! I released the bird a few days ago."

"I didn't catch it. The bird never came back!"

"That's it, Sister Yuanyuan, our messenger bird has been captured!" Xiao Xin didn't know where to start, so he just said, "The family in Tin Hau Alley has moved away."

"Moved away? Where did you move to?" Yuanyuan immediately asked him what had happened in the past few days. "Tell me bit by bit, from the beginning. Don't be anxious."

Xiao Xin said, "I forgot to mention one thing last time. That woman brought back several hundred kilograms of something from Nanzhao. They repeatedly mentioned the elixir, so I guess it was that thing. They also mentioned that the prince should eat that thing to control him."

Xiaoxin told Yuanyuan everything he had heard.

It’s a pity that Xiaoxin is illiterate, and all he recorded were some of his own symbols. After a long time, he himself didn’t know what those circles, crosses and hooks meant.

Yuanyuan bought a bag of meat buns and half a pot of hot oil tea, placed them in front of him, and said, "Eat while you think about it slowly. I'll remember it."

Xiao Xin said everything he could remember this time, and suddenly said excitedly: "Sister Yuanyuan, I remember now, the robin is gone, someone must have kidnapped it! I heard that the urn must have been smashed by someone!!"

The day before yesterday, he was lying in ambush in a snow cave and eavesdropping. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a pile of snow and a brick hit him on the head, knocking him down in the snow cave.

He looked around but didn't see anyone, so he stood up and shook off the snow. When he came back, he found that his listening instrument was also smashed.

"Without a hearing aid, I'm almost deaf. I was thinking about getting a new one." Xiao Xin said, "But there's no one in Courtyard No. 3!!"

The reason why Xiaoxin was so anxious that bubbles appeared on his mouth was because Ting Weng was gone and he could not hear the conversation between Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan.

Xiao Xin is actually quite sensitive. After hearing what happened, he wondered if he had been discovered by someone from the Imperial City Bureau.

He hid in a temple for two days and found that no one paid any attention to him. Then he bravely climbed over the wall to peek into Courtyard No. 3 and found that the courtyard was deserted.

As Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying had agreed to move to Dongcheng, Xiaoxin bravely searched along the streets and alleys of Dongcheng, but couldn't find him.

Xiao Xin got so much new information at once that he was anxious for Yuan Yuan to come every day.

Yuanyuan took a notebook and a pen and told Xiaoxin to think hard and not miss any clues. Yuanyuan wrote down everything he remembered.

Until Xiaoxin can no longer remember it.

"Sister Yuanyuan, I heard that Weng is in trouble and they have moved away again. I may not be able to get any news."

Xiaoxin felt very regretful, as he had finally been able to spend a warm winter thanks to this.

"Don't worry, and don't bother Ting Weng anymore. Just stay in the hut and don't go out casually. I will find a job for you later."

The news was important, but Xiaoxin's safety was the most important. If anyone came to him and asked him why he was eavesdropping, he would say that he was eavesdropping on the cat-and-dog fight between Gu Chengyan and that woman.

Only after she taught him how to escape did Yuanyuan go back.

I returned to Qingpuyuan and gave the news to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned as he looked at the notebook of messages recorded by Yuanyuan.

She made a big mistake.

Yin Jinan said that he sent Ren Jialin to rob Guan Yingying twice, once in the wilderness and once near Zhongzhou. In both cases, he robbed 70,000 dan of grain, more than 800 kilograms of candles, and more than 500 kilograms of universal elixir.

Ren Jialin finally found that she returned from Nanzhao Kingdom empty-handed.

Even Xie Zhaozhao thought that Guan Yingying came back empty-handed.

After all, the cost price of 70,000 shi of grain, more than 800 kilograms of candles, more than 500 kilograms of panacea, plus transportation fees, etc., has already exceeded 100,000 taels, and Guan Yingying does not have that much money.

But she didn't expect that Guan Yingying actually sold Gu Jiaojiao to the grandson of a chieftain of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and brought the things back through other means (Xiaoxin didn't remember the place name of Qinglai Prefecture, and Yan Kenian could bring the things back, but Xiaoxin didn't hear it).

The robin was kidnapped and Shin-chan's listening stick was destroyed, which means someone has discovered Shin-chan and doesn't want him to get involved!

Maybe deeper down, she has been discovered?

Fortunately, the robin is just a signal for Yuanyuan and Xiaoxin to meet. It never carries any information, so even if it is caught, nothing will be discovered.

From the current perspective, the other party discovered that Xiao Xin was eavesdropping but did not touch him, nor did he take him away for interrogation, which means that this person is very likely also monitoring Gu Chengyan or "Tu Qianyue". Because the prince is involved, he does not want Xiao Xin to get involved in royal affairs and die in vain!

The best option now is to withdraw.

However, the elixir has already entered Daqian and is targeting the royal family.

If Emperor Hui had taken the panacea that "strengthened the tendons and kidneys and brought immortality", the tragedy of his previous life would have been inevitable.
