Gu Zhouting came to the window and saw Jiang Wanning sitting under the wisteria flower stand in the courtyard. Gu Zhouting waved to her.
Jiang Wanning shook his head.
How can I persuade her to reveal her identity?
Gu Zhou stopped gesticulating, silently expressing that I am really at my wits end, come to the rescue quickly.
It was the first time Jiang Wan Ning saw Gu Zhouting, who was at a loss for words even before Mount Tai collapsed, and smiled helplessly. It turned out that he was also unsure sometimes.
Forget it, help him.
When Jiang Wan Ning entered the room, Wang Qirou was still crying.
"Sister Qirou, don't cry. It's a great joy that General Shangguan is still alive. As for the fact that he can't recognize you now, it's because he wants to fulfill the Marquis's last wish. He said that he will wait until later. Will come back to you."
Wang Qirou stopped crying and looked at Jiang Wan Ning with tearful eyes, disbelief in her eyes.
Jiang Wan Ning said: "I went there last night too. I had to follow him out of curiosity. That's what General Shangguan said at the time. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhou stopped and nodded seriously.
Bei Qing didn't say these words to him and Ji Yunchen, they should have said it between their brother and sister.
"So, Sister Qirou, you have to cheer up. General Shangguan not only needs the support of his friends, he also needs your support mentally. When he sees that you are well, he can return to Dayuan with peace of mind and complete the mission as soon as possible. "
Wang Qirou wiped away her tears and her eyes became clear and determined: "You're right, I'm fine. I'll feel better if I cry."
She has never been a person who likes to be muddy or get into trouble. Once she has figured it out and knows what to do, she will never be sloppy.
As long as Bei Qing is still alive and Bei Qing still has her in his heart, she will not stop Bei Qing from doing big things. If Bei Qing breaks his promise and doesn't come back, then she will kill him in the Royal Court of Dayuan and snatch him back.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. I'll take my leave first." Wang Qirou said and left, leaving Jiang Wanning behind.
Gu Zhouting and Jiang Wanning looked at each other.
"Are you busy with official duties?"
Gu Zhouting shook his head. The official business could be handled later, but it was rare for her to come.
"Is there any action on Shen Jingshan's side?"
"Not yet. He is very cautious and does not leave the door twice. This only shows that he has a problem. Just wait, the Dashu envoy will stay here for more than ten days, so don't be in a hurry."
"The Emperor is unwell today."
"Well, during the morning session, I suddenly felt a heartache. I heard that I invited Envoy Yang to see me. What did Envoy Yang say?"
Jiang Wanning said: "I also went to see it. The emperor's heartache is a bit strange."
Gu Zhouting looked stern: "What kind of weird method?"
Jiang Wan Ning explained her diagnosis: "I have asked His Highness the Second Highness to secretly investigate the Emperor's diet and daily life, the people he saw, and the things he did in the past few days."
"Do you suspect that someone poisoned the emperor?"
"I can't say yet, but it probably isn't poison."
Gu Zhouting said solemnly: "A Ning, you must find a way to figure this out. The emperor cannot have any accidents before the overall situation is decided." Otherwise, Daqi will be in danger!
"I know, I will try to find out. Now I need your help to do two things."
"you say."
"First, I need information about the Seventh Princess of Shu. The more detailed the better."
"No problem, I'll go to Beidou Division later."
The Beidou Division is an agency in Da Qi that specializes in secret espionage missions. It holds all the information about the royal families of various countries. Zheng Guan had previously obtained the list of spies developed by Dayuan in Da Qi, and he handed it over to the Beidou Division for processing.
"Second, find an excuse to search the post house where the Shu delegation is staying. I want to search it myself."
Gu Zhouting muttered: "Okay."
"So, you suspect that the problem lies with the Shu Mission?"
"Gu Zhouting, don't ask me now. If you ask me, I don't know how to answer. Everything is just my guess."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask, so don't be burdened." Gu Zhou stopped.
But he knew that she never did things without aim, and her intuition was surprisingly accurate. Now that she had the direction of her investigation, he just had to cooperate.
That night, there was a theft at the posthouse where the Dashu delegation went down. Several of Ning Huangshu's belongings were stolen, and other people's belongings were also stolen. Ning's face turned green with anger.
When the minister of Honglu Temple got the news, he broke into a cold sweat and hurried to the post house, bowed to apologize and asked Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly.
Gu Zhouting's people were already ready to go, and Jiang Wanning pretended to be Mr. Jiang Ning to get in among them.
"Master Gu, the public security in your capital of Qi is too bad. Thieves are rampant. Fortunately, it is thieves who sneaked in this time. If they came to assassinate me, wouldn't my life be at stake here?" Emperor Ning's face was unkind. .
I already had a strong opinion against Gu Zhouding, but now I have an even bigger opinion.
Gu Zhou stopped and said: "It is indeed our negligence. I wonder what the emperor has lost?"
Gu Zhouting stayed with Smiley to deal with Uncle Ning, while the others looked around.
Jiang Wanning came to the residence of the seventh princess. The seventh princess was still in the palace, but the four personal maids were left in the post house.
"Did you lose anything?"
"The princess has lost some of her jewelry."
Jiang Wan Ning went in to watch the scene.
I saw that the seventh princess's dowry had been opened, and there were jewelry, hairpins, earrings and other items scattered on the table and on the floor.
It was as if a thief had grabbed a handful of them and left in a hurry for fear of being discovered.
A maid said: "We didn't move anything."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded: "Very good. Where are the other items? Are they missing?"
"On a cursory inspection, only the jewelry was missing."
"Check it carefully again."
The maids split up to check.
Jiang Wanning glanced at every furnishing and every corner in the room.
Nothing suspicious was found.
At this time, Zheng Guan sent the roster of the mission.
Gu Zhouting didn't know how he deceived him, saying that he couldn't rule out the possibility of a thief, because this thief was too familiar with this place, and what he stole were all important people's things. You must know that there are no Daqi people working here in this post. It is impossible for outsiders to know so clearly where everyone in the mission lives.
Therefore, the angry Emperor Ning handed over the mission list.
Jiang Wanning looked at the roster and said, "This time the Seventh Princess came to Daqi, she only brought you four personal maids?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Then why don't you go into the palace to serve me?"
"My lord, the person serving the Seventh Princess in the palace is Nanny Song."
"Oh, Grandma Song used to serve the princess?"
The maid hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Which room does Grandma Song live in? Has anyone checked? What if she also lost something..."
"Sir, there's no need to look at Aunt Song. She doesn't have anything valuable." The maid said hurriedly.
Jiang Wan Ning frowned: "How can that be done? What if something valuable is lost that you don't know about? When your Uncle Ning asks about it later, he will blame us, Mr. Gu, for neglecting his duty."
The maid couldn't talk to Jiang Wan Ning, so she had to take her to Grandma Song's residence.
Strangely enough, Nanny Song, who could accompany the Seventh Princess into the palace, did not live in the same courtyard as the Seventh Princess, but in the most remote courtyard.
"This is Grandma Song's residence." The maid pointed to a room.
"Who lives in the house next door?"
"No more, there is only Grandma Song in this small courtyard."
Jiang Wanning knew clearly that this nanny Song was a ghost.
