Chapter 33 Why can’t it work this time?

 Not to mention that his son has suffered a catastrophe this time and he doesn’t know whether he can return to normal. Let’s just say that three of the officials in his hands were lost to the Yama Palace!

This is simply a challenge to his majesty and a slap in the face.

What's hateful is that the people in this Yama Palace are so slippery that it's hard for people to catch their tails.

It’s really hateful!

"The situation you mentioned is very possible. Put the arrest of Yama Luodian and Prince Ning on the same position, send more manpower, and go all out to search!" Xie Changfeng said coldly.

"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Lou Shangshu responded and said,

"General, have you heard about what happened at the gate of the south city yesterday? I heard that King Ruyang ordered the patrol camp to block the news, but I didn't find out about it."

Although the emperor trusted Xie Changfeng, he also knew the way of checks and balances. He put Xie Changfeng in charge of 80,000 imperial guards, and then brought up the King of Ruyang to check and balance Xie Changfeng.

King Ruyang is in charge of the 50,000 soldiers and horses in the patrol camp of the capital, responsible for the security of the capital and assisting the imperial guards in defending the imperial city.

-

Xie Changfeng has always regarded King Ruyang as a thorn in his flesh, and wanted to place people in the patrol camp, but he could only place some unimportant captains. The commanders above were all King Ruyang's people.

It is normal for Lou Shangshu, a civil servant, not to know the news about the patrol camp, but he also does not know what happened at the south gate yesterday.

Xie Changfeng was very angry.

"I don't know, General." Xie Changfeng said with a sullen face, "I will handle this matter. Just focus on capturing Prince Ning."

"Yes." Lou Shangshu was about to resign.

"Wait a minute, I have a bottle of Yangshen Pills. You can take it back and give it to your son." Xie Changfeng said.

Lou Siyuan, like Xie Hongbao, was tortured and suffered a mental breakdown. If he did not take Yangshen Pills, he would probably go crazy.

The Yangshen Pills in Yaowang Valley are difficult for others to obtain, but Xie Changfeng has great power. Not only do he have many capable people, but he also has various treasures obtained from the world.

He had two bottles of Yangshen Pills in his hand. In order to appease Shangshu Lou, Xie Changfeng decided to give him one bottle.

"Thank you, General!" Lou Shangshu burst into tears of gratitude after receiving this bottle of Yangshen Pills, and became even more loyal to Xie Changfeng.

Although he scolded Lou Siyuan bitterly and wished he could never live without this evil obstacle, he was his legitimate son after all, so he couldn't just watch him go crazy.

Yunwu Villa.

This is one of Yaowang Valley’s villas in Beijing.

The young master of Yaowang Valley was recuperating here, and the patrol camp sent extra manpower to protect him to avoid further accidents.

Wei Gaoyang came here personally to act as a guard.

After a while, Wei Gaoyang's Lieutenant Li came to report.

"Commander, according to our preliminary investigation, the turmoil at the South City Gate yesterday was caused by the Nanchu spies. Their purpose was to take the young master's life and frame it for us. Fortunately, their plan did not work!"

Wei Gaoyang's face darkened.

If Gu Xi hadn't resorted to his own tricks to save the young master, the Nanchu people's plot would have been successful!

When the time comes, if the Qin State offends Yaowang Valley and forges a blood feud, Yaowang Valley will surely retaliate wildly, and he will be the first to be unlucky.

Damn Nanchu!

"Is there any clear evidence? Have you caught the spy?" Wei Gaoyang asked.

"We caught a man from Nanchu and died halfway through questioning. The evidence is not clear." Lieutenant Li gave the confession to Wei Gaoyang.

"Okay, this is enough to explain to Shi Wang Gu." Wei Gaoyang took it and looked at it, and then solemnly told Lieutenant Li,

"Continue to block the news. No one can leak the news until the Nanchu people are caught."

"Commander, I don't understand why I kept it so secret. I didn't even tell other captains in the patrol camp." Lieutenant Li was puzzled.

"This is the order of Yaowang Valley and King Ruyang." Wei Gaoyang said coldly, "Just obey it and don't talk too much."

Wei Gaoyang had a guess that he was keeping it secret to protect Gu Xi.

Just because Gu Xi is the savior of the young master of Yaowang Valley, we can’t let her make any mistakes.

Those Nanchu people were crazy. If they knew that Gu Xi had ruined their plan, they would kill her to vent their anger.

-

Gu Xi and Prince An finished their lunch together before going downstairs, calling the maids, and preparing to return to the Marquis Mansion to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement.

Back on the carriage, Qiuzhi couldn't wait to tell Gu Xi that they had just met Chuntao in the mansion.

Chuntao is Haruzhi's younger sister. She is lively and smart, and is best at asking for information.

Qiuzhi heard a lot of news about Gu Rong from her.

"Miss, now we call that second miss in the house, and the servants have a lot of resentment towards this second miss.

Everyone thinks that her return will make the young lady leave. They are afraid that without the young lady, the Hou Mansion will return to its previous abjection.

There are also many people who feel that the second young lady is very ambitious and unpleasant. She wants to win people's hearts within a few days of arriving at the Hou Mansion.

Chuntao said that she gave Qian's mother a heavy gold hairpin in order to bribe her.

However, Qian’s mother is loyal to the young lady, so naturally she will not accept her hairpin and make her feel embarrassed.

In addition to Qian’s mother, there was also Manager Li who was also favored by her, but Manager Li didn’t show much mercy to her and ridiculed her openly and secretly.”

Qiuzhi said, with a look of disdain on his face.

"This second young lady is too impatient. I'm afraid she doesn't know that our servants in the Marquis' Mansion are loyal to the young lady."

Gu Xi was stunned when she heard this, thinking that the progress of her two slaps in the face should be contributed by Qian's mother and others.

This surprised Gu Xi!

What's going on with Gu Rong? She can win people's hearts in dreams without any disadvantages. Why can't she do it this time?!

Later, Qiuzhi told some other things about Gu Rong.

For example, I have never been able to learn the rules and etiquette well, and my wife is very dissatisfied with this;

The old lady doesn't like her weak temperament, and she will slap her a few words when she sees her;

The third young master led his big wolf dog to tease Gu Rong, scaring her to tears;

The fifth lady specially gave Gu Rong an extra set of rouge and gouache, but she was actually laughing at her for having dark and rough skin.

……

Gu Xi found that the masters of the Hou Mansion didn't like Gu Rong that much, which was very different from the dream.

Gu Xi didn't hesitate. After all, it was a nightmare and it couldn't be accurate.

She didn't care whether Gu Rong was going well or not in the Hou Mansion, she just listened to it for fun.

"Mrs. Hou is still loyal and loyal. They left me without saying goodbye. What was their attitude towards leaving the Hou Mansion?"

After talking about Gu Rong, Gu Xi asked this more important question.

Qiuzhi heard that the young lady stopped calling her father and mother. She wanted to correct her, but after thinking about what she wanted to say, she hesitated and gave up.

"The master and his wife are very dissatisfied, but they feel that the young lady is retreating to make progress. They want them to take you back. The master also said that they will never take you back. Do you want to come back?

However, in the past two days, rumors have spread that the young lady is too coquettish. The madam and the master feel that the young lady is disgraceful and brings disgrace to the Hou family.

The madam once said angrily that when the young lady returns to the house, she will lock you in the ancestral hall to reflect, and will not let you leave the Hou Mansion again..."
