On the second day after Xie Jingya was imprisoned, people were singing on the streets of the capital that they saw an official lady being robbed the night before. She seemed to be the fifth lady of the Xie family, one of the two concubines in the capital.

, the future crown prince wife of the Duke of Jin, no matter what title she has, she will be resounding.

This rumor spread from ten to ten, and from ten to a hundred...

No matter what era, gossip spreads with surprising speed.

In order to prove that the person taken away by the robbers was not her fifth sister, Mrs. Yan of Ning Guogong personally went back to the Xie Mansion. Unfortunately, she did not see Xie Jingya in the Xie Mansion, and she did not know where the news came from.

The news leaked out of Mrs. Huan's mouth, and within half a day, the whole capital was talking about it.

A good-natured woman, who was a daughter of an official family, disappeared. Even if she survived the robbers, she might still be in trouble.

The Duke's Mansion of Jin State, Gu Haiyuan's office and study room.

"Your Majesty, we still haven't found the fifth lady." The person who came to report said.

He knew the news the morning after Xie Jingya disappeared. He searched through all his information networks but found nothing.

It has been two days. There are Xie Jingya's people in Xie's mansion and the people he sent to her. They have been looking for her, and they have also searched around the capital, but there is no trace at all.

Seeing his master's cold expression, his subordinate Ah Feng still boldly asked: "Master, will the fifth lady be captured by the robbers as rumored in the capital today?"

"How dare the robbers make enemies of the officials? Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know that Miss Xie Wu is the wife given to me by the emperor? This may be a smoke bomb to confuse our sight." Gu Haiyuan's hand held

He made a fist, then relaxed it, and continued: "Send a few people to keep an eye on the source of the news."

"Yes." Ah Feng said respectfully.

Before Ah Feng could exit, a spy hurriedly came over to reply. Before he even entered the door, he said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

The two of them looked at the spies who came to report at the same time.

"The second prince wanted to murder the emperor, but he was caught and exposed." The spy went straight to the point, speaking quickly and harshly.

"What? How could the second prince take action at this time?" Ah Feng was startled. His first instinctive reaction was that the second prince could not be so anxious. According to the second prince's temperament, no matter how anxious he was, he would have to bribe most of the officials of the court.

Only then would he take action, not to mention that the incident with Mi Nanghua in southern Xinjiang had just happened not long ago, so how could he choose this time to take action.

The spy said firmly, "The emperor has sent a secret edict, asking the prince to enter the palace as soon as possible."

On one side is the emperor's order, on the other side is the whereabouts of the beloved. Neither of these two matters can be ignored.

At this moment, Gu Haiyuan was entangled. If he entered the palace, he might not be able to get out for several days. But if he didn't enter, he would be disobeying the imperial edict and would be dead, and the entire Jin government would be implicated, not to mention

, at this critical moment, whether for his ministers or for the people, he had to stand up.

But when he thought of Xie Jingya, he couldn't settle down. When she needed him most, he couldn't rush to her side immediately. If something really happened to her, he would never feel better in his life.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's order cannot be violated, you must be careful!" Ah Feng risked his life to speak.

It's easy to imagine how chaotic the palace is at the moment. Those who work hard for the emperor would not even blink an eye if they die for the emperor at this moment.

"A Yuan!" A gentle voice came in.

Gu Haiyuan looked at his grandmother who walked in, and the playful and beautiful Jiu Mei, and his heart ached again.

"Grandma, why are you here?" Gu Haiyuan's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Mrs. Gu walked towards him unhurriedly, with a gentle and calm voice, "Our Duke of Jin is today inseparable from the emperor's favor. Now, the emperor needs you, and it is also our Duke of Jin who has contributed."

It's time."

"Grandma, my grandson knows." Gu Haiyuan didn't understand all this.

Mrs. Gu smiled gently and said, "The more anxious you are, the more calm you need to be so as not to lose control. Grandma is very clear about what you are worried about. Grandma promises you that she will help you find Xie Wu all the time.

Miss, no matter what happens to her, as long as you are willing, the position of the crown prince and wife of the Duke of Jin will be hers."

Gu Chuchen added on the side, "Third brother, don't worry, Jingya is my good sister, I will definitely try my best to find her."

The determination in their eyes made Gu Haiyuan feel a little more at ease.

"A Feng, take care of the prince!" The palace may be in chaos at this time, and there may be many people taking advantage of the chaos to kill people.

"Old madam, don't worry, as long as Ah Feng doesn't die, nothing will happen to the prince." Ah Feng replied vowing to die.

Mrs. Gu smiled slightly.

Watching Gu Haiyuan leading people to the palace in a hurry, there was no one she cared about in that place. She owed him and he owed her everything, but it seemed that they had all been repaid.

As soon as Gu Haiyuan left, Mrs. Gu summoned the people left by Gu Haiyuan and two of her confidants to take out all the clues about Xie Jingya, and everyone summarized and discussed together where there were loopholes and where to start...

The entire capital seemed lively and quiet, no different from the past. But the people who lived a peaceful and happy life were completely unaware of the bloody storm deep inside.

If there is anything different about today's capital, it is that all the doors leading to the palace are under martial law and only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed.

When Gu Haiyuan led the troops outside the main hall, the second prince really knew that his risky move had finally failed.

In the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, Xue Jiani played the piano over and over again, unable to stop. The maid Su Xin beside her felt anxious and scratched when she saw her young lady like this.

The sound of the piano was fast and slow at first, but then it got faster and faster, so fast that even Su Xin's head started to feel dizzy. Then, she secretly said: "Not good!"

Su Xin held her chest in pain, then heard the sound of the piano breaking, and then saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of Xue Jiani's mouth.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Su Xin didn't care about herself and ran up to comfort her.

Seeing the broken string of the piano, Xue Jiani smiled coldly and said softly: "Yes, why am I suffering... What am I suffering from..."

Su Xin naturally understood what kind of temper her young lady had. She had never been willing to fail or fall below others. However, with the intervention of Xie Jingya, all the rules of her young lady's life changed. She

What is considered life has been taken away by others.

"Miss, I beg you, please think about it in another way. No matter how you change, you will be the future sixth prince's concubine. No matter what Xie Jingya does in the future..." Su Xin gritted her teeth and did not say the next words, but changed her mind.

, "No one can shake your position as the concubine."

Xue Jiani understands this, but this is not what she wants, this has never been what she wants...
