famous eldest daughter

Chapter 200
Such feelings of frustration, shame and anger made Xiao Yu's face look particularly gloomy under the quiet moonlight, especially the faint luster of his eyes staring at Gu Yuqing's back, which made him look like a ghost.

Gu Yuqing ignored Xiao Duo's mood, buried his head in the book case and found nothing, so he locked his eyes on the hidden compartments in the study that could be seen at a glance.

Such old things, such actions that cannot be known at all, can probably only exist in the dark compartment where no one can see the light.

Fortunately, although the secret mechanism in Prince Duan's Mansion is sophisticated, it was not created by a disciple of the Mohist family. It is only slightly more complicated than ordinary mechanisms to solve, but it is not difficult.

As Gu Yuqing touched the mechanism, one secret grid after another was opened. Xiao Duo's anger was gradually put aside. When he was surprised, he couldn't help but move to Gu Yuqing's side and looked into the hidden grid.

What comes into view is a stack of files.

Xiao Duo reached out and took it out. He opened it and couldn't take his eyes away from it. In this file, it turned out to be some invisible secrets of important officials in the court specially recorded by Prince Duan. Next to it were his vermilion ink marks. A note written in person.

Who can be used, who can be won over, who needs to be removed, and who is useless, all are recorded in detail.

It turned out to be a dossier specially used by Prince Duan to blackmail others.

As the handwriting gradually entered his eyes, Xiao Duo's expression became more and more gloomy, and his eyes glowed with a biting and sinister light.

It turned out that some of the confidants he had always trusted had betrayed him and turned to the prince.

hateful!

Xiao Duo's chest suddenly ignited a monstrous fire, wishing to crush those few things that were eating inside and out.

However, the time was limited, so he had no choice but to read the entire file in detail. After turning over a few pages, he handed the file to Chang Shun behind him, "Read it quickly, and read as much as you can!" He ordered in a low voice, raised his feet and went again. Look at other hidden grids.

At this time, Gu Yuqing was already a few steps away from him.

Under the cool moonlight, her graceful figure became more and more slender. She bent over and groped back and forth for a mechanism in front of her.

Just when Xiao Duo was about to pick up the booklet in the second hidden compartment and look through it, there was a slight "click" sound, and Gu Yuqing opened another hidden compartment, and the words "South Vietnam" fell into her eyes. Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly shrank, and he quickly reached out to take out the yellowed rice paper from the grid, and flipped through the pages. It turned out to be letters between Prince Duan and Nanyue in private.

However, none of these letters mentioned the secret killing of the Gusu family, and they had no connection with Miao Jiang.

Disappointed, Gu Yuqing raised the hand holding the rice paper, turned to Xiao Duo and said, "You may be interested in this."

The moonlight shone on her eyes, as if there was a layer of frost.

Xiao Duo raised his eyes to look at Gu Yuqing when he heard the words, his eyes were full of suspicion.

After all, not long ago, he had wanted to kill Gu Yuqing because of her attitude.

Gu Yuqing had a sneer on her lips. She didn't care how Xiao Duo was looking at her. She shook the rice paper in her hand, and the pieces of rice paper were like flowers scattered by the goddess, spinning and falling to the marble pavement. on the smooth ground.

"This is evidence of Prince Duan's secret correspondence with the South Vietnamese Kingdom. I thought His Highness would be interested in it, but it seems I was mistaken."

Gu Yuqing's voice was as clear as frost, Xiao Duo's heart trembled suddenly, his eyes were eagerly looking at the paper on the ground, and he was about to pick it up.

It was exactly what he had dreamed of.

But the next moment, just when he was about to bend down, his eager eyes suddenly became cold.

Gu Yuqing clearly knew that this was what he wanted, so he threw it to the ground!

It's so deceiving!

Xiao Duo's clenched fists creaked.

Seeing Xiao Duo's appearance of being anxious but not daring to attack, Gu Yuqing only felt happy.

If she hadn't been in Prince Duan's study at this moment, but anywhere else, I'm afraid Xiao Duo would have rushed up to strangle her neck.

Looking past Xiao Duo with cold eyes, Gu Yuqing curled her lips and turned around to continue searching.

Xiao Duo angrily called Chang Shun to come over in a very low voice, and picked up the rice paper on the ground one by one.

Gu Yuqing opened almost all the secret compartments, but couldn't find anything she wanted, and she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

According to Lu Jiuzheng, when Prince Duan was ordered by Nanyue to secretly kill the Gusu family, he used the Xiao Su faction in the world.

Do you not need letters to communicate with Jianghu people?
Could it be that Prince Duan issued the order directly?
Confused, Gu Yuqing casually placed her hands on the bookshelf aside, using the shelf as a support, leaning half of her body there, contemplating, scanning the four walls of the study inch by inch, trying to find other things she wanted to read. There is no secret compartment found in the mechanism.

However, after scanning several times, he found nothing. Gu Yuqing felt disappointed and planned to sort through the hidden grids he had just looked through to see if he had missed anything.

He moved away from the book shelf, but his arm accidentally swept across a white jade vase placed in the shelf.

Ji Xiang's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at a glance, "Miss, be careful of that vase!" As he said, he immediately rushed over to reach out to pick up the vase.

Once the vase falls to the ground, the sound it makes is enough to alert the dead soldiers and secret guards surrounding the study.

Gu Yuqing didn't pay attention at first, but when she heard this, she was immediately horrified. She turned her head to look at the vase, and without thinking, she stretched out her hand to help it.

But just when everyone's eyes were focused on the vase, almost holding their breath and nervously about to speak out, Gu Yuqing let out a confused sound.

The vase didn't move at all!
The vase placed in the bookcase was swept by her arm and did not move at all!

A bright light flashed in his mind, Gu Yuqing immediately turned around to face the vase, stretched out his hands to hug the body of the vase, with a solemn look on his face, and with a little effort, he heard a soft "kata" sound. , the bookcase where the vase was located slowly moved aside, revealing a secret room.

Shocked by the accident, Xiao Duo was ecstatic and ran toward the secret room.

Secret letters from Prince Duan to the enemy can be found in the secret compartments. There must be even more shocking secrets in this secret room.

Leaving Ji Xiang to guard the outside, Gu Yuqing and Ruyi followed Xiao Duo and walked in.

The secret room is not big, but only a quarter of the size of an ordinary boudoir. It is a square room. Except the door side, the remaining three walls are all placed with two-person high wooden cabinets. The top of the wooden cabinet is a top box. Below it are four layers of partitions, with thick volumes placed on each layer.

With an inexplicable intuition, Gu Yuqing's heart began to beat faster.

What she is looking for must be here.
