famous eldest daughter

Chapter 209
Leaving Chinanhou Mansion and returning to his own mansion, there was already a sliver of light in the sky, but the light was dim, and it looked like the sky was about to change.

With no sleep at all, Ming Lu scrubbed Xiao Yu's body and applied ointment, and the master and servant went straight to the study.

A row of five spies stood side by side in front of Xiao Yu's writing desk. A row of black and gray coarse linen clothes were all made of ordinary fabrics. The five people all had unremarkable appearances. Only their eyes were as sharp as knives. They were carrying secret guards. Unique sharp luster.

Being glanced at by such a gaze would make ordinary people tremble.

Leng Rui's eyes swept across the five people in front of him. Xiao Yu sat down on the chair behind the desk and told one of them: "Go and do something to speed up the envoys from South Vietnam who are coming to Beijing."

The fluorescence in his eyes flickered slightly, and he paused for a moment before adding, "Fifteen or six days is really too long. If we go straight to Kyoto without stopping, another six or seven days will be enough."

The spy received the order, turned around and took the order.

The remaining four people stood there motionless, waiting for their share of tasks.

Ming Lu felt sorry for Xiao Yu because he hadn't eaten early in the morning. He brought a bowl of milk porridge from the kitchen and set it aside, waiting for him to finish his order.

"Xiao Yi, go tell our people and ask him to provide some information to Xiao Yi, saying that he has noticed that Xiao Duo is secretly investigating Prince Duan, and it seems vaguely related to the South Vietnamese court." His eyes fell on a spy with plump lips. On the body, Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Let him decide what to do."

Another spy turned around and left with a gust of wind, leaving the remaining three people without blinking an eyelid.

Without waiting for a pause, Xiao Yu then ordered one of them: "Where Xiao Duo is, you continue to follow."

After the man was ordered to leave, Xiao Yu glanced at the remaining two people and ordered together: "From now on, you will follow Prince Duan every step of the way. Even if he sleeps and goes to the toilet, he must be within your sight. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately."

The two received the order, clasped their fists and accepted the order to leave.

After finishing all the instructions in one breath, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved. He was about to lean on the back of the chair as usual. But the moment he touched the back of the chair, a heartbreaking pain came from the wound on his back. Xiao Yu couldn't help but " He gasped with a hiss.

Ming Lu was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, be careful. If you continue to toss like this without any care, you might really get scars."

The wound that had been gradually healing was now festering after a night of torment last night. How could Ming Lu not be anxious?

Xiao Yu had an indifferent look on his face. A big man, a scar is nothing. Besides, it's not on his face. Even if it was on his face, it couldn't stop him from caring about Gu Yuqing.

If Gu Yuqing hadn't made his own plans, he would have thrown Gu Yuhe directly into the military prostitute camp.

Ming Lu seemed to have read Xiao Yu's mind. While pushing the bowl of milk porridge that was no longer hot in his mouth in front of Xiao Yu, he hummed in a strange way: "You don't care about a scar, but you just don't know. , Miss Gu doesn't care anymore."

After saying that, Ming Lu turned his face to look at Xiao Yu's teasing expression, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yu had just put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, but when he heard his words, it suddenly spurted out. Either way... Ming Lu suddenly became miserable.

Ming Lu jumped away from the desk with a slap in the face. Ming Lu wiped the white milk porridge on his face with tears streaming down his face. "Your Highness, even if the slave is right, you don't have to use such means to retaliate against the slave!"

Xiao Yu laughed.

Ming Lu saw that Xiao Yu's face, which had been gloomy all night, finally had a smile on his face, and a smile appeared on his own lips. He still muttered about getting water to wash his face and change clothes.

In Chinanhou Mansion, Gu Yuqing, who had been busy all night, finally read the last stack of files, stretched out his hand, pushed the rice paper in his hand, and stood up.

Ji Xiang Ruyi had already prepared hot water to help her wash up.

The sky outside was gloomy, and there was a feeling of "dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it".

The strong wind swept the trees, the branches trembled, and the leaves touched each other, making a rustling sound, which further enhanced the tranquility around them.

From time to time, bright lightning strikes across the sky and passes across the sky, as if it wants to tear open the sky, revealing all the dirty truth behind it.

Thunder rumbles, sometimes far and sometimes near.

All this indicates that heavy rain is coming.

Even the smell in the soil is different from usual, with a damp fishy smell, but it makes people who smell it feel shocked.

As soon as I cleaned my face, I heard a heavy downpour outside. The raindrops fell to the ground, making a crackling sound, as dense as the beat of a drum.

Jixiang glanced outside and said, "It's raining so hard. Such heavy raindrops may even break holes in the crops."

There was still half a sentence that she didn't say.

If he could smash holes in the crops, he could also beat Gu Yuhe, who was kneeling in the small courtyard of the ancestral hall, severely.

Live it!

It was really her own fault that even God would not let her go.

Otherwise, why would there be such a heavy rain today when the sky has been clear for several days?

It's a pity that this retribution is not enough and it comes too late.

People like her deserve to be struck to death by lightning!
After breakfast, Gu Yuqing put on a green feather cloak and sat on the corridor to shelter from the rain, looking at the continuous rain and thinking to herself.

She had gone through all the files, but regarding the Miao Territory, there were only a few brush strokes, not as thick and heavy as she imagined.

Could it be that the Miao woman who entered Prince Duan's mansion really had nothing to do with Prince Duan?
But who instigated her to deliberately harm the Gu family... Her thoughts were washed away by the rain, and Gu Yuqing frowned in deep thought.

After a long time, Gu Yuqing took a breath and told Ji Xiang, "Go to the fourth prince's residence and give him the dossier that records the secrets of the court officials." After saying that, he paused briefly. He added: "Remember, unless he or Ming Lu takes it personally, it must not be faked."

After many contacts, she had a vague and strong feeling in her heart that Xiao Yu was definitely not the Xiao Yu she saw. His true appearance should be no different from what she had imagined in her mind.

She would have little use for keeping such a thing, but if Xiao Yu was serious about seeking that ninth-five position, this would be a rare treasure.

Ji Xiang took the order and left in the rain.

At this time, besides Gu Yuqing, there were also Xiao Duo who were also frowning at the rain curtain in the corridor.

The embarrassment and anger last night had dissipated. Now that he had calmed down, Xiao Duo no longer wanted to kill Gu Yuqing.

Regardless of his power base or background, Prince Duan is very strong. If he wants to bring down such a person, he must hit the target with one blow and uproot him.

With his own strength alone, he knew that he was only [-]% sure.

And Gu Yuqing was the one who hated Prince Duan. In comparison, she wanted Prince Duan to die more than he did.

Keeping her is beneficial and harmless!

It's just what happened last night, Xiao Duo is still upset in his heart.

Staring at the pillar-like rain curtain in front of him, Xiao Duo took a deep breath and sighed quietly. Chang Shun stood behind Xiao Duo, not daring to let out his breath.
