The sadistic beauty has taken a fancy to me [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 123 Shadow
The next day, Liang Zhaoge laid out a detailed undercover investigation route in the mansion. He and the old housekeeper went through the whole mansion one by one. As expected, there were indeed hidden spies in the Duke's mansion. That night, a new servant was caught. Unable to bear the pressure, he bit the poison and killed himself in the ancestral hall. Unfortunately, the medicine was too strong, and the housekeeper was a step too late to take him down.
But it doesn't matter, Liang Zhaoge didn't plan to find clues from him at the beginning, the people who were inserted into the Duke's mansion must be dead servants who worked their lives for money, and it was absolutely impossible to find any clues from them about who was behind the scenes.
This thorough investigation can at least ensure that the Duke's Mansion is safe and sound for the time being. As long as everyone is safe, they will have time to continue investigating.
Zhu Jiuci's thoughts are too heavy during the day, and he can't sleep well at night. In the past few days, he is so nervous that he dare not fall asleep even when he lies on the couch.
Nightmares often come to intrude, unlike usual lucid dreams, this time the nightmares are menacing, often waking him up in a cold sweat, his heart beating almost out of his mouth, but apart from the fright and chills left by the nightmares, the dreams do not give him Make no impression.After a few days of tossing, he didn't dare to sleep at all.Afraid that Liang Zhaoge would be worried, he pretended to be asleep, and waited for the man to sleep soundly before opening his eyes until dawn.
Today, he was preparing to act like this again, Zhu Jiuci obediently retracted into the quilt and pretended to be going to sleep. Looking around, Liang Zhaoge was still busy flipping through the books in front of the desk.
The darkness fell to the West Garden, and the servants extinguished half of the glazed lamps. The lights in the garden were light and dim, which seemed rather hazy.Liang Zhaoge looked up and saw Zhu Jiuci looking at him, so he got up and walked over, sat on the edge of the couch and gently held his arm.
"Young master."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Jiuci was looking at him with his quilt in his arms.
Liang Zhaoge pinched his cheek, "Can't the young man fall asleep?"
"No!" Zhu Jiuci smirked, and lay down as if extremely comfortable with the quilt wrapped around his neck.
Liang Zhaoge looked at him, and reached out to touch his eyelids.
"Young master is clearly not sleepy."
Zhu Jiuci felt his cold fingertips, and his red eyes finally felt a little comfortable.
"It's late at night, Zhaoge should rest quickly."
Liang Zhaoge leaned over to hug him, and was moved inside even with the quilt, and he lay down beside him with his clothes on, looking sideways at him.
Feeling the man's gaze, Zhu Jiuci couldn't help covering his head with the quilt.
In the quiet and late night, Liang Zhaoge's voice came through the silk quilt: "Don't worry, little prince."
Zhu Jiuci tore off his quilt and his eyes were exposed, he squeezed his fingertips tightly together, and said with a forced smile, "I don't have to worry. Zhaoge has great powers, and it took a day and a half to find out that person's henchmen. The mansion is as safe as a wall of iron and steel, so I have nothing to worry about, and besides, the general and mother will face the saint in the palace, and they will take care of the big things, how can I..."
"Young master talks too much." Liang Zhaoge interrupted him, his eyes couldn't stop feeling distressed.
Zhu Jiuci froze, the second half of the sentence was still on his lips, and he felt a bit of bitterness on the tip of his tongue.
It turns out that nothing can be hidden.
Liang Zhaoge pinched his earlobe lightly, and said softly, "Young master can't lie, he always talks a lot when he's flustered."
"One basket, one basket." He pinched his earlobe twice.
Zhu Jiuci was suddenly poked at the center of the matter, and the tip of his nose was sour, but he couldn't help the tears in his eyes. A teardrop flowed down uncontrollably, and soon dyed into the quilt and disappeared.
Liang Zhaoge pretended not to see it, and gave him a chance to secretly wipe it away.
"Young master, why don't you talk to Zhaoge?" Liang Zhaoge looked at him with his arms propped sideways.
Zhu Jiuci turned up, stared at Liang Zhaoge's face and thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped over Liang Zhaoge and jumped to the bed, ran barefoot to the desk and blew out the small candle, and then stumbled all the way back.
Liang Zhaoge felt distressed and dragged him onto the couch, "If you think the candle is on, just tell me, why run down by yourself." He supported Zhu Jiuci's calf, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Zhu Jiuci shrank back to the side of the couch, leaned his back against the wall and folded his knees. He looked at Liang Zhaoge and said, "Shall Zhaoge sit down too?"
Liang Zhaoge went over helplessly, wrapped his knees around his knees childishly like him, and put the quilt between his body and his legs.
Zhu Jiuci glanced at him, feeling that this action really didn't match the image of a slender beauty, and pulled his sleeve: "Zhaoge doesn't need to sit like this..."
"I want to." Liang Zhaoge didn't listen to him, and took advantage of the situation to tighten his arms around his bent calves, resting his chin on his knees, and looked sideways at him.
The lights went out and the cell was dark.A sliver of silver moonlight poured into the small room, and the shadow of the flower branch cup on the table was reflected on the ground.The flower branches are elegant and lifelike, as if there are flower trees in the room.It was only then that Zhu Jiuci realized why Liang Zhaoge loved the flower branch cup so much. It turned out that the exaggerated decoration in the eyes of others really left this beautiful image.
"Young master is distracted again?" Liang Zhaoge reminded dissatisfied.
Zhu Jiuci murmured: "The flower branch cup is beautiful."
Liang Zhaoge looked over and saw the shadow on the ground, his eyes trembled for a moment, feeling amazed.
"Little Grandpa likes it?" He asked.
"Ah."
Liang Zhaoge turned to stay on the bed and walked over barefoot.
"Where is Zhaoge going?" Zhu Jiuci was uneasy.
Liang Zhaoge turned around in front of the moon shadow, and stretched out his fingertips to the silvery moonlight. The moment he touched the silver flower, his fingertips were translucent and shimmering, as if they were touched with the splendor of the sky, like a fairy coming to the world.
A slender hand appeared above the shadow of the flower branch on the ground, and suddenly, the fingertips pinched the flower branch.
"Pick a flower for the little father-in-law."
Zhu Jiuci sat on the couch and looked at him in a daze. The man touched the air with his fingertips under a ray of moonlight, and the shadow of slender hands folding flowers was reflected on the ground.The world is too beautiful to be true. It turned out that Liang Zhaoge had been with Liang Zhaoge for a long time, but he was also brought into the picture scroll.
The beauty came back holding flowers, and there were stars in her eyes in the darkness.
"Let's go out to investigate tomorrow."
Zhu Jiuci's eyes trembled.
Liang Zhaoge leaned forward and half knelt on the couch, blocking Zhu Jiuci in the corner.He grabbed his hand, protecting it carefully.
"Young master, I will definitely find you."
Zhu Jiuci suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind. He felt that the worries of the past few days had been settled. Now that there was someone who fully understood his worries and stood behind him gently to support him, he didn't need to worry anymore.If he can find the person behind the scenes and ensure that the Duke's Mansion will not be framed by others, he will not have to be troubled by worries and nightmares in the future.
"Yeah." Zhu Jiuci nodded while wrapping his hands around his knees.
Liang Zhaoge snorted.
Zhu Jiuci raised his eyes: "Why—"
"Why don't you pick up flowers?" Liang Zhaoge looked at him with some resentment.
Zhu Jiuci was speechless.Da Leng stretched out his hand to take it, and Chi Chi held the air in a daze.
Liang Zhaoge suddenly hugged him and lay down: "Tomorrow, I will pick real flowers for the little father-in-law."
The morning light is faint, and the birdsong of Xiyuan is heard.
Liang Zhaoge sat in front of the mahogany dressing table and frowned at the bronze mirror.Last night, childhood memories disturbed him all night, after all, he had a guilty conscience and could not find peace.Waking up in the morning with heart palpitations, I suddenly suppressed it with the tea from the previous night, and just passing by the dressing table, I saw that my eyes were also a little blue.
He glanced sideways at the person on the couch carefully, saw that he was still fast asleep, felt relieved, opened the treasure box and took the powder makeup, bit by bit to cover up the bruises under his eyes.
Bluebirds flew by outside the window, Liang Zhaoge put down Luo Zidai, and heard rustling on the other side of the bed, followed by a rush of footsteps, Zhu Jiuci ran over in obscene clothes, saw Liang Zhaoge, his eyes showed surprise.
"How come Zhaoge looks more and more beautiful these days?" He reached out to pick the jade pendant under the Latin beauty's earlobe.
Liang Zhaoge sideways avoided: "Isn't it the same as yesterday?"
Zhu Jiuci stared at him: "It's a little different, I feel much better than yesterday."
Liang Zhaoge turned around and said, "Young Master, do you mean that Zhaoge didn't look good yesterday?"
"How do you understand that!" Zhu Jiuci jumped up, and the coat he had just put on fell off again.
Liang Zhaoge pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word, and gently wrapped his sleeves up for him.
"The mansion has been checked several times before and after, and there may be no clues. I will go out of the mansion today to see if I can encounter anything."
Zhu Jiuci nodded, snatched the belt from him and tied it on himself. Liang Zhaoge glanced at it and shook his head, then took it apart and put it on again for him.
"Isn't it the same?" Zhu Jiuci looked down while pinching his belt.
Liang Zhaoge: "The little prince is ugly."
"No way!" Zhu Jiuci raised his eyes angrily, and was discouraged when he saw the beauty's stunning face, "Forget it, Zhaoge is right."
The two wore curtains and went out after eating too early. They were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people without any other accessories. Apart from being slim, they would not attract the attention of others when walking on the street.
Guogong Mansion is located on the west side of Mishi Hutong, covering a huge area.The main street is wide, the north-south, east-west lanes extend in all directions, and there are many people coming and going. The back is the secluded Nantangzi Hutong, where there are few people coming and going on weekdays.
The two looked around, then turned to Renshi to look for Uncle Li.After careful comparison of the list of servants and a few surviving crude picture albums, they barely aligned the list of new servants in the house.However, regardless of background or other, there is no problem.
Zhu Jiuci was a little disappointed. All the clues showed that there was no connection between the spies who inserted into the Duke's Mansion and the mastermind behind the scenes. They didn't know how to communicate in a secret way, and they didn't need to know each other to reach a deal.
Even if they found out the identities of the two people in the mansion, it would be a waste of effort, and the people behind the scenes have nothing to do with him.
Liang Zhaoge led him out, and the market was chaotic. Although it was a formal trading place by the government, after all, it was people who bought and sold, and it was really dirty and messy.
"Although the people behind him don't show up, he always wants to let the people in the mansion know what to do." Liang Zhaoge said.
Zhu Jiuci stopped in his tracks, "Zhaoge means—" Someone slapped his shoulder suddenly, he turned around, Xiao Cen looked at him with a smile.
"Why did you come out?" Xiao Cen lowered his voice.
Although the Holy Majesty didn't make a decree, everyone in the capital knew that the young master was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors in the Duke's mansion, so it was really bold to leave the mansion without permission.
"How did you recognize it?" Zhu Jiuci pinched himself.
"Joke, I can recognize you when you turn into ashes." Xiao Cen led the two into the carriage, "Now that you're out, let me show you something interesting."
"What is it?" Zhu Jiuci got into the carriage and took off the curtain, Liang Zhaoge came up behind him, and sat beside him lightly.
But it doesn't matter, Liang Zhaoge didn't plan to find clues from him at the beginning, the people who were inserted into the Duke's mansion must be dead servants who worked their lives for money, and it was absolutely impossible to find any clues from them about who was behind the scenes.
