Chapter 269

Seeing Song Siwen's gossipy look, Song Shiyun coughed and explained: "Nothing else, I just rarely see the prince asking for leave, so I just asked out of curiosity."

"Really?" Song Siwen half-smiled, "Brother Ru Gu doesn't rarely ask for leave. It should be said that he used to spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. He went to the Imperial College to report and attend lectures. That's basically rare."

Song Shiyun: "..."

Why didn't she know that the old Xie Ru had such a shabby side?
Song Shiyun looked at Song Siwen with a look that said, "You just care about him, I'll expose it." He smiled dryly and said: "Really, since I came here, it's rare to see him asking for leave... Brother, you tell me first Me, why did he ask for leave?"

Song Siwen smiled and didn't want to tease his sister anymore, so he explained: "I heard that he is ill."

Song Shiyun was stunned, "Are you sick?"

How could someone who was so lively and energetic yesterday afternoon say he was sick just because he was sick?

"When the people from Duke Dingguo's office came to ask for leave for him, they did tell the doctor that. I happened to be listening at the time, so it couldn't be wrong." Song Siwen explained.

Song Shiyun frowned, feeling even more strange.

Tell her directly that Xie Rugu is not just sick.

There must be something else going on here.

Could it be related to what happened on Huainan Road?

"Shi Yun, what are you thinking about?" Seeing her thoughtful look on her face, Song Siwen joked, "Are you so worried about your old brother?"

Song Shiyun came back to his senses and coughed unnaturally, "No, I just asked casually, brother, it's time to attend class, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, Song Shiyun slipped away in one step.

That look, in Song Siwen's eyes, was the shame of his daughter's family being exposed.

Song Siwen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking to himself, it seems that he will be grateful in the future, so he really needs to call him uncle.

Song Siwen smiled and returned to his school refreshed.

Song Shiyun, after returning home, immediately found the doctor and asked for leave.

She has long been known to be weak, and the last time she pretended to be weak in school, the doctor was still a little frightened.

When I heard that she wanted to take leave, I approved it without saying a word.

When Song Shiyun came out of the Imperial Academy, he went straight to the Dingguo Duke's mansion.

But when I arrived at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, I inquired and heard that Xie Ru was not in the mansion and had gone to recuperate elsewhere.

Song Shiyun couldn't help but ask the concierge: "Where did the prince go to recuperate?"

The concierge of Duke Dingguo's Mansion just shook his head, "I don't know about this, a young man. He speaks softly, so how can he have the right to ask about his master's affairs?"

Hearing this, Song Shiyun was able to confirm that Xie Rugu was definitely not sick, but he just found such an excuse to run out for some unknown reason.

Is it possible that what happened on Huainan Road is really that serious?
Song Shiyun could not find out anything related to Huainan Road for the time being, so he could only go back temporarily and wait for news from Xie Rugu.

However, after waiting for several days, she did not receive any news from Xie Rugu, but instead received news from Ye Bingyi.

Ye Bingyi gave up going to Huainan Road, and Jing Yuanyi of the Jing family took advantage of the opportunity to get this qualification.

Soon, I will go to Huainan Road to take up my post.

The day after Song Shiyun learned the news, Xie Rugu, who had not been seen for several days, suddenly came to Pingninghou Mansion.

This time he did not go to Song Siwen, but went directly to Yaxuan and found Song Shiyun directly.

Song Shiyun was drawing talisman in the house at that time. She heard that Xie Rugu was here. As soon as she came out, she saw Xie Rugu looking careless. He walked in and was looking at the trees and furnishings in the yard.

"Didn't the prince go to recuperate from illness?" Seeing this, Song Shiyun walked over with a smile on his face, "Why are you showing up in our Pingninghou Mansion now? Is it possible that the prince's illness is finally cured?"

When Xie Ruyi heard her voice, he turned around and looked over. He didn't feel embarrassed at all because his excuse was exposed. Instead, he curved his lips and smiled and walked over: "Yes, I have recovered from my illness. I heard that my second sister is very concerned about my health. I thought, No matter what, I have to come over and talk to the second sister in person so that the second sister can feel at ease."

Song Shiyun: "..."

She knew that just by talking, she was really no match for Xie Ruji, who could confuse right and wrong.

Song Shiyun didn't want to continue making jokes with Xie Ru, so he asked directly: "Come here now, what's going on? Has the matter on Huainan Road come to an end?"

"I thought the second sister really cared about me." Hearing this, Xie Rugu sighed with a look of disappointment on his face, "It really makes me sad."

Song Shiyun looked at him expressionlessly.

Xie Rugu didn't feel embarrassed, smiled lightly, and then spoke naturally, "There is nothing strange about Huainan Road."

Song Shiyun paused, then frowned, "Nothing strange?"

Xie Rugu nodded, the smile on his face faded, and his expression became more serious, "In the past few days, I have checked all the files of the Tiansi Bureau and the Ministry of Punishment, as well as the news from the Shadow Guard."

"Shadow Guard?" Song Shiyun was stunned.

Xie Ru explained as usual, "The shadow guards of Duke Dingguo are responsible for inquiring about news inside and outside the territory. They know everything." Song Shiyun remembered.

Yes.

She had forgotten that there was a group of shadow guards in Duke Dingguo's mansion.

However, not many people know the news.

Song Shiyun learned about it from the master of Tianji Sect.

Song Shiyun looked at Xie Rugu, "What next?"

Xie Rugu continued: "No matter the Shadow Guards or the Tiansi Bureau, there is no unusual news about Huainan Road. Even the prefect of Huainan Road has always reported that everything is safe and sound in the folders he sent before."

Xie Rugu has checked everything he can in the past few days.

But there is no useful news.

Song Shiyun was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Her hexagram skills are not unparalleled in the world, but they can at least be ranked among the top two.

There wouldn't be such a big mistake.

Song Shiyun thought: "Are there any disasters on Huainan Road?"

Xie Rugu said: "Recently, there has indeed been precipitation on Huainan Road, and the rain is lingering, but it is no different from previous years and is a normal situation."

These are also among the information that the shadow guard has inquired about.

Compared with the past, there is no difference.

It can be proved that there is no problem with the amount of rainfall in the rainy season.

When wild beasts come out of their cages, they correspond to disasters or evil spirits.

However, there are problems in the entire Huainan Road, and that is not what Li Gui can do.

Therefore, Song Shiyun still chose to believe that it was a problem of disaster.

But now, the possibility of natural disaster seems to have been ruled out.

Could it be the latter?
"There are no accidents on Huainan Road now. Even if we go to Huainan Road now, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out what happened." Xie Ru looked at Song Shiyun and said calmly.

Song Shiyun was really thinking just now whether she should go to Huainan Road to take a look.

But she also knew that what Xie Rugu said made sense.

"By the way, the Tiansi Bureau also reported that it was safe?" Song Shiyun remembered the key point Xie Ru had mentioned just now.

Xie Rugu nodded, "Yes."

Song Shiyun frowned.

The Tiansi Bureau is responsible for monitoring the movements of evil spirits in various places.

If the Tiansi Bureau says it's safe, I'm afraid Huainan Road is not caused by evil spirits.

It's not evil, nor is it a disaster...

what is the problem?

Could it be that something was wrong with her hexagram?
Song Shiyun couldn't help but doubt himself.

"You might as well wait a moment." Xie Rugu looked at the change in Song Shiyun's expression and said warmly: "Let's wait a few more days and see what abnormalities will appear on Huainan Road. If there are any abnormalities, the Tiansi Bureau will immediately deal with them. You will notice that I have made an agreement with Master Zhang that if there is any change in the celestial phenomena of Huainan Road, he will notify you and me as soon as possible."

When Song Shiyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Even she couldn't praise him and said, "The prince has thought carefully, so let's wait for news from the Tiansi Bureau."

Xie Rugu smiled and said, "Am I very fond of my second sister?"

Song Shiyun: "..."

Seeing the man's appearance of asking for credit, Song Shiyun felt that Xie Rugu was at most three years old.

However, Song Shiyun didn't feel disgusted. It was rare that he was in the mood. He followed his words and said, "The prince is very attentive to everything. In the final analysis, the prince is careful and treats everything the same."

Xie Rugu waved his hand, "That's different. In my place, the second sister is the only one."

He had a joking tone that was not annoying.

only……

These words were said in such a way that people didn’t know how to answer them.

Song Shiyun glared at him and said, "Master, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I have other things to do."
