Because they could not leave the Palace, these few days, Xiao Sui could only obediently stay in the Palace. The Shi Jinchen was still the same, returning home early and late every morning seemed to be very busy.
He was even too lazy to explain the reason to Xiao Sui. Only the old butler was willing to be the peacemaker, and when Xiao Sui was once again chased out of the study by Shi Jinchen, he would still painstakingly explain that the Duke's actions were all for the sake of you, and that sort of thing.
These few days, Shi Jinchen was famed for going out to handle matters and to pay respects to the court, but every time he went out, he would wear a weapon and carry a lot of people. Thinking about it, he knew that it was not a normal thing, and would definitely go out to investigate.
Since the last time he saw these black-clothed assassins in his own residence, he did not dare to let his guard down, and it seemed like these assassins all came for his Xiao Sui. Although he suspected that Xiao Sui was not an ordinary identity, since that girl had saved him many times, he decided to trust her for now.
The relationship between him and the Xiao Sui seemed to be as stiff as if it was his first time meeting it. However, no matter how upset he was in his heart, he should first investigate exactly who this "broken sword cliff" organization was and why it was tightly staring at his small manor.
In addition, they also needed to send people to protect the officials of their own faction, and a few of them had been assassinated in their homes not long ago. In addition, they had to send people to protect the officials of their own faction, and a few of them had been assassinated in their homes not long ago.
As of now, his subordinates had not found any reliable information regarding "broken sword cliff", they only knew that this was an assassination organization that had suddenly risen up out of the martial arts world many years ago. As soon as it appeared, it led to a bloody scene in the martial arts world, where the assassins were all well-trained, each of them had their own corresponding number, and were assigned different responsibilities. Some of them were responsible for investigating the information, some were responsible for assassinations, while the ones hidden behind the scenes were responsible for cleaning up and concealing the truth.
This is why the organization is still thriving and is growing better and better. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy is the best way to avoid a hundred wars. Only by finding out the background of this organization, its scale and its network, and knowing who the mastermind behind it is would one be able to break it in one go and eliminate its roots.
He had been hiding in the vicinity of the Fourth Prince Palace for the past few days, trying to find a gap to bring Yue Hua out. However, the security of the Fourth Prince Palace was really tight, even if he could get past the guards at the outer layer, there would still be a group of well-armed soldiers waiting for him inside, not to mention the hidden, hidden guards waiting for an opportunity to take action. If he didn't want them to sneak into the Fourth Prince Palace and silently lead them out, it would be even more difficult.
He was certain that he wouldn't be able to get in. The only viable option was to make Yue Hua willingly come out. So Ke Zheng called for Jian Qiuying to discuss the solution together.
"This subordinate knows that Yue Hua has a very good friend named Bai Yu who is currently in the Supreme Fu Mansion."
"What you mean is, we should use our Bai Yu to threaten the moonlight and make her obediently come out?"
Jian Qiuying frowned slightly, but remained calm and collected. "This subordinate had thought of it before, but the Tai Fu Mansion is heavily guarded, and the Bai Yu is not the daughter of an ordinary person. She is the daughter of the Grand Xia, summoning the crown prince's future concubine."
"You should know that this kind of girl with an unusual identity cannot be touched no matter what. If the daughter of the Tutor suddenly disappeared, then it would definitely set off a huge commotion. At that time, when the imperial government investigates this matter, it would actually be convenient for the Fourth Prince to take action. "
"Subordinate sent over some information. That Fourth Prince is sending people everywhere to look for information on 'broken sword cliff'. He must have sensed it as well."
Ke Zheng laughed out loud, "Let him be. A little kid can't lift any big waves, so his subordinates can be more decisive in their actions. Also, he has to clean up the area, so that Fourth Prince can chase after us from behind, but can't find anything useful."
"This subordinate understands." The Jian Qiuying then seemed to have thought of something, "This subordinate has a trusted subordinate that is being arranged to watch over Yue Hua by her side. Since the crown prince's residence is not peaceful right now, should we call her back for other plans?"
After hearing that, a glint flashed across his eyes, "Wait, you said that you have a subordinate that's currently beside Yue Hua. What is she doing in the Fourth Prince Palace?"
"Reporting to Master, Late Autumn has always been following by Yue Hua's side as her servant. According to the reports, Yue Hua seems to be very good to her and even treated her as her own kin." Jian Qiuying asked.
"Hmph, relatives? When did the moonlight become so approachable? " Ke Zheng seemed to still be unwilling to believe that Yue Hua had truly lost her memories.
"Yue Hua's thoughts were actually pure. Subordinate has always been cared for by her and has always treated her as her own family." There was an expression of gentleness on the face of the Jian Qiuying, but it was incomparable obstruction in the eyes of the Ke Zheng.
"Enough, bring your servant here. I have something to arrange for her." With that, he let out a cold laugh. His Jian Qiuying brows slightly knitted, and struggle could be seen in his expression. "This subordinate obeys."
It was a strange and wonderful night. Although the Fourth Prince was heavily guarded, it was not strict enough when it came to ordinary servants. She ran out as an excuse and shook off the few tails behind her.
It was just that in the morning if he woke up and couldn't see her, then he might have to fall into a huge pile in the air again. Speaking of which, his mood over the past few days was indeed very bad, that Fourth Prince was also bad as well.
The sound of Ke Zheng's berating came from behind. It turned out to be its master, and in the next moment, the latter did not dare to let her imagination run wild, so she knelt down and said respectfully: "This subordinate's, the late autumn, kowtows to the Lord."
"Stand up. Are you working as a servant with Yue Hua?"
"Reporting to the Lord, this Subordinate has been following by Second Leader's side under the orders of Protector Zuo and does not dare to slack off."
"That's right, let me ask you again. Is the moonlight good for you?"
Even though she was puzzled, she still answered in full." The Second Master is like family to his subordinate. Although he is her maid in name, he is close to her sister.
"Not bad, not bad. What a good sister-in-law, hahahaha."
