After returning to Shen's Mansion, Su Xingze woke up Su Rong. Su Rong rubbed his eyes, waved to him sleepily, held an umbrella, hugged the hand stove given to her by the precious concubine, and put one foot deep and one foot shallow. Go to the yard where you live.
After taking a few steps, he seemed to have regained consciousness. He turned around and said to Su Xingze: "Brother, I'm so sleepy that I won't go over to see Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen. I've had dinner in the palace. You and them Say."
Su Xingze waved to her, "I know, I'll go there by myself, you go back!"
Su Rong said "Yeah" and walked away quickly.
Su Xingze sighed and walked towards the main courtyard.
When Su Rong returned to her residence, she was completely awake. She put down the stove, took off her cloak, found her night clothes, quickly put them on, then turned off the lights, pretending to be asleep, and quietly left the room. He opened the door, climbed over the wall, left Shen's Mansion, and went straight to the East Palace.
It had been snowing heavily for two or three days, and the entire imperial city was covered with heavy snow. He came to the East Palace and climbed over the wall by familiar roads.
When he reached the prince's study, he saw that the study was as usual, with the lights on. Yan Huisheng was sitting at the table, writing something with a pen. There was a man standing in front of the table, talking to him.
Su Rong walked to the door of the study, and someone shouted, "Who is it?"
Su Rong thought to herself that every time she came, she couldn't get into the study. It seemed that the guards at the East Palace Prince's study were not slacking all day long. This was a good thing. She coughed and said, "I, Su Rong."
The guards looked at each other, sheathed their swords instantly, and silently retreated into the darkness.
Yan Huisheng heard movement in the house and immediately raised his eyes to look out the window. The person standing in front of Yan Huisheng also turned his head sharply.
At this time, Su Rong had pushed the door open and saw not only Yan Huiwei, but also the person standing in front of him, who was actually Zhou Gu. She frowned immediately.
Zhou Gu also just arrived, and he also came in by climbing over the wall. He had never done anything like climbing over the wall before. Even if Taifu Qin trapped him in the East Palace, he only fought with the guards of the East Palace and used fair and honest means. If you win, you will go out, if you lose, you will stay in the East Palace, or if you complete the homework given by Taifu Qin, you will go out after completing it. If you don't complete it, you will stay in the East Palace. In short, it is all stated clearly. Ever since he met Su Rong, he had been abducted by her quirkiness and unconventional tricks. Now he feels that it is more convenient to climb over the wall, especially when his grandmother sent people to keep an eye on him while he was recovering from his injuries. He pretended to sleep and then quietly came to the East Palace. The journey was really smooth.
Of course, although he was also very skilled, he was not as skilled as Su Rong in doing such sneaky things. As soon as he walked past the wall of the East Palace and walked to the waterside pavilion, he was discovered by the guards of the East Palace.
Zhou Gu also didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that just as he arrived with his front foot, Su Rong also came with his back foot.
When he saw Su Rong frowning when she saw him, he felt very uncomfortable and stood there with his lips pursed, without saying hello or saying anything.
Yan Hui asked: "Why are you touching me again now?"
Su Rong replied, "I have something important to do. I'm being stared at now. It's inconvenient to sneak in."
Yan Huisheng nodded, motioned for Su Rong to sit down, and poured her a cup of tea with her own hands.
Su Rong took the tea and did not sit down. Instead, she held the tea and glanced at Zhou Gu, "What are you doing here? Aren't you letting you recover well? Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said yesterday?"
Zhou Gu glanced at her, saw her face was calm, and shook his head, "No."
He explained to Su Rong, "I have received news that the Marquis of Nanping has learned that something happened to the eldest princess and Ning Ze, and that they have joined forces with the bandits from Nanping's Eighteen Villages to plan a rebellion. This is a major matter, and I came here to discuss it with His Highness."
After finishing his words, he whispered again: "I didn't mean not to listen to you."
Su Rong frowned, "Is this the news from Ningchi?"
"No." Zhou Gu shook his head, "It is in the Eighteenth Village. There are hidden stakes that I arranged to enter three years ago. I discussed with His Highness that the Eighteenth Village occupies natural dangers and is a righteous bandit. It does not burn, kill or loot. Therefore, the imperial court did not launch an encirclement and suppression campaign, but because of the relationship between Nanping Marquis and the eldest prince in Nanping, it was really uneasy, so I took over the matter and secretly arranged for people to go in and monitor the movements. Not long ago, I received a report information."
Su Rong nodded, turned around and asked Yan Huisheng, "Where is Ning Chi? Can he send a letter?"
Yan Hui shook his head, "Never."
Su Rong said: "This Ningchi, when I was in Jiangning County, I saw that he was sincere and a reliable person. But I haven't received a letter yet. We might as well wait for his letter before making a final decision."
Yan Hui nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."
She asked Su Rong, "What important thing are you talking about?"
Su Rong briefly told her what Li Bin and Yu An said to her, as well as where the evidence from the interrogation was hidden, and then said: "I plan to go get the evidence tonight and seal the place. I will go. As for Yu An outside Beijing, His Highness the Prince, please send someone to the house a hundred miles away!"
Yan Huisheng didn't expect Su Rong to gain so much in one day, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll send Yun Ze to take the people there."
Su Rong said: "It is best to dispatch more than half of the secret guards of the East Palace. There can be no mistakes."
Yan replied with a confession, nodded, called Yun Ze, and gave the order.
When Yun Ze heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately led most of the secret guards from the East Palace out of the East Palace.
After Yun Ze left, when Su Rong was about to leave, Zhou Gu immediately said, "I'll go with you. I'm familiar with Feng Si's residence."
Su Rong glanced at him, but before he spoke, Zhou Gu immediately said: "The wounds have healed, it's just a trip. As long as you don't do anything to anyone, it won't be a big deal.", and quickly expressed his position, "Feng The courtyard of the fourth residence is full of alleys, which is very difficult to find. If you are not familiar with the way, if you find the wrong place or get lost, won't it be a waste of time?"
Yan Huisheng said at this time: "Since he happened to meet him, let him go. He has been holding it in the house for so many days, and he is almost growing hairy. If he is not allowed to go, he will be restless that night. , maybe staying here alone makes me upset."
Su Rong turned to look at Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng picked up the pen again and waved to her, "He is accompanied by the guards of the Protector's Palace. If he encounters trouble, he can resist him. This is the capital after all. If you go alone, you won't be worried."
Su Rong withdrew his gaze and said to Zhou Gu: "Then let's go, be careful."
Zhou Gu responded happily, "Okay."
The two left together, Su Rong in front and Zhou Gu behind. Before closing the door, Zhou Gu turned around and cupped his hand to Yan Huisheng to express his gratitude.
Yan Huisheng could see it clearly and stared at the closed door for a while before taking his eyes back and writing.
Qin Luan came in with freshly baked tea cakes to replace the cold ones. Seeing that Yan Huisheng didn't have any instructions, he quietly retreated, going in and out without disturbing Yan Huisheng in the slightest.
The room was quiet, and heavy snow fell in clusters outside the window.
