Chapter 474 Shock
"Your Highness, none of the nuns who delivered His Highness Ninth Prince's birth are no longer on duty in the palace. When I inquired, it seems that within a month of the Ninth Prince's birth, those nuns fell ill or died in various ways. Way to leave the palace." Walking in front of Xiao Yu, after paying respects, Ming Lu said solemnly.

He has been with Xiao Yu for many years, and he has probably experienced more experience than ordinary young masters. In addition, he himself is smart. From the time Xiao Yu asked him to investigate Xiao Ke, he vaguely understood that Xiao Yu was suspicious. What.

When I found out such news at this time, I knew in my heart that this matter was extraordinary.

Xiao Yu had already learned what Ming Lu said from Concubine Hui, so on the surface, there was no emotional fluctuation as Ming Lu expected.

Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, he took a breath, and Ming Lu continued: "The servant looked at the book of the Imperial Household's enthronement and found that there were only five nuns living near the suburbs of Beijing, so he looked at the address on it, Check them one by one."

After Ming Lu finished speaking, Xiao Yu continued, "Could it be that they are all dead?" His voice was cold, and his eyes were as cold as frost.

Hearing this, Ming Lu smiled bitterly, "Absolutely. I was thinking that if the five nuns in the suburbs of Beijing were gone, I would look for those from other provinces."

"But I was lucky. I finally found a woman who was about to die in the fifth house. Her family members said that she had been suffering from a strange disease since she came out of the palace. The Chengri family kept screaming excitedly at night. During the day, I was unconscious, and for the past ten years I have been like this every day, until I finally ran out of energy and was left with only this half-breath."

When he heard that there was someone alive, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked towards Ming Lu, "Where is the person?"

Ming Lu said: "Because of her health, the servant did not dare to take her back home on horseback. He hired a carriage and asked her son to accompany her all the way to Beijing. Although she was groggy, she heard the servant's voice with a Beijing accent, and her face was filled with shock. , said he refused to come, but his son is very money-minded. Hearing from the slave that he would spend a lot of money to invite his mother to come to the capital, he immediately nodded and agreed without saying a word or even asking why."

"Since he is greedy for money, the servant is relieved and just gives him enough money. The servant rides his horse and comes back first to inform His Highness before making the next arrangement. Counting the time, they should have arrived at the time of true determination. "

As he spoke, Ming Lu paused for a moment, took a breath, and added: "Your Highness, don't worry, her family lives in Hejian Mansion, and there happen to be some of our people there. I called two of them with a secret signal, and they followed me all the way, including his son. No matter what tricks you want to play, it will be absolutely fine with those two people here. When it comes to Zhending, the doctors from our medicine shop will accompany you, just in case that grandma fails to hold up halfway."

Ming Lu always does things properly, Xiao Yu has always been reassured. Hearing this, he can't help but nod. As for how Ming Lu found out the addresses of those mammies from the enthronement book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs through various methods, Xiao Yu doesn't want to think too much about it. ask.

After explaining the route, Xiao Yu thought for a while and ordered: "Go and greet him right now. When you enter the capital, don't let anyone follow you. Take him directly to the Chinan Marquis Mansion and go in through the back door. If you meet Xiao Yi The people asked about it, not to mention that there was someone in the car, they just said that I bought a few Eighteen Bachelor plants and gave them to Gu Yuqing."

Ming Lu received the order and turned around to leave. Xiao Yu stood up and headed straight towards the Chinan Hou Mansion.

When Xiao Yu arrived, Gu Yuqing had already held the two red sandalwood boxes and waited under the flower stand in Tongyuan courtyard.

Seeing the butler ushering Xiao Yu in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here so late?"

The words came out of his mouth, but he was not aware of the familiarity in them.

In the autumn afternoon, the sunshine is really warm.

Under the wall of Tongyuan, there is a row of osmanthus trees. The sunlight is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and it penetrates into the internal organs. When he saw Gu Yuqing, Xiao Yu felt that his whole body became lighter, and he was filled with solemnity along the way. , suddenly disappeared.

The two sat opposite each other, their eyes sliding over the two rosewood boxes on the table. Xiao Yu explained: "When I was going out, something happened, so I came late. Have you been waiting for a long time?" His tone was natural, But he is as pampering as ever.

Indulging in Xiao Yu's gaze, Gu Yuqing nodded without knowing why, "I'll be waiting after lunch." Her tone was actually coquettish.

As Xiao Yu listened, he felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing through his heart along with the warm sun and the fragrance of flowers.

Her spotless eyes were full of tenderness, and she smiled and said, "It's my fault. I should let someone tell me first."

Listening to Xiao Yu's apology, Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly jumped with joy, but she was later horrified... Oh my God, what happened to her? Why did she talk to Xiao Yu in such a tone... This... This is clearly different from... She looks completely different from her usual self!

There was a blush on his cheeks, but Xiao Yu on the opposite side had already said, "Ming Lu will bring someone in through the back door of your house in a while, you can ask the butler to arrange it, and when he arrives, he will be sent here directly, and don't let anyone Following."

Although the voice was doting, the content was solemn. Gu Yuqing immediately suppressed her flying pink thoughts, endured the burning on her face, turned around and told Ji Xiang, "Follow His Highness's words, and go ahead."

Ji Xiang took the order and left. Gu Yuqing took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked: "What happened? Who is coming? Is it related to the Miao Jiang box?"

He was secretly annoyed, he clearly came to discuss serious business with Xiao Yu, why he couldn't help but think about it!

Xiao Yu stared at Gu Yuqing's eyes and said solemnly and slowly: "It has nothing to do with Miao Territory. Let's not talk about Miao Territory today. The matter of Miao Territory can be put aside for a few days before we discuss it."

Gu Yuqing looked back in surprise, "Don't talk about Miao territory?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "Someone who is coming soon may know the whereabouts of your brother." In order to take into account Gu Yuqing's emotions, Xiao Yu deliberately lowered his voice.

But when Gu Yuqing heard this, he couldn't help but his eyes trembled. He stood up suddenly, the blood on his face faded at a visible speed, and stared at Xiao Yu, "What did you say?" His breath was disordered and his blood flowed.

Even Ruyi, who was guarding behind Gu Yuqing, was frightened by Xiao Yu's sudden words.

He had expected Gu Yuqing's reaction before he came, but seeing Gu Yuqing like this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel his heart twitching, as if a heavy wooden wedge had penetrated his heart, blocking all his blood flow. .

He stood up and held Gu Yuqing's hand. The cold bone-chilling warmth from Gu Yuqing's hand came from his palm. Xiao Yu's eyes shone like broken diamonds, and he said distressedly: "She may know the whereabouts of your brother, but...but I I’m not sure, I’ll have to wait until I meet him to find out, and I’ve never seen him before.”

Gu Yuqing listened to Xiao Yu's words in a daze, but felt that only the sound was heard, and as for the content, it seemed that it had not flowed into her brain at all.
