Chapter 312: A City-wide Search
When Gu Xiao's face was put on a face mask that was exactly the same as that of King Rui, he could finally leave this King Rui's mansion openly.
"How's it going for you to investigate?" Gu Xiao looked at the guard in front of him and asked.
"Back to the prince, in the past few days, his subordinates and others have been tracking down the woman on the portrait, but the woman seems to have disappeared, and there has been no news in the past ten days, and the subordinates are incompetent, please forgive the prince!"
As soon as the guard gave up his hand, he fell to one knee on the ground.
Gu Xiao was a little puzzled, not long after the guard went back last time, he asked someone to draw a portrait of the woman and send it, he immediately sent people to search for it secretly, and now more than ten days have passed, there is no news at all, is it no longer in the capital?
"Have you ever taken the portrait and asked the guards of the gates? Don't they have any impression at all? Gu Xiao looked at the guard with some reluctance and asked.
The guard said helplessly: "Back to the prince, the soldiers guarding the city gate said that they don't remember that such a woman has entered the capital. ”
There are so many people who come and go every day, even if they have been here, they must have forgotten everything about it, not to mention that the woman looks mediocre, and it is normal for them to have no impression.
It's just that Princess Rui's waist card is missing, it must have gone out from this Rui Palace, that day there was a fire, Gu Xiao suddenly looked at the guard as if he wanted something, and said: "Is there any news about the egret?" ”
Princess Rui has a personal maid named Egret, but when he rushed in, his voice was not heard in the fire, so where did the Egret go?
When he found this, he began to send people to secretly search for the traces of the egret, but unfortunately, even the egret disappeared.
Gu Xiao thought in his heart, maybe it was because of the fire, and he didn't know if he fled in a panic, but he didn't know why, Gu Xiao always felt that something was wrong.
"Back to the prince, the news of the egret has not been found, and the egret has never appeared again on the night of the fire in the palace."
The woman in the portrait is gone, and the egret is gone, both of them silently, as if they had never appeared.
Gu Xiao was a little puzzled when he thought of this, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately came to the table and picked up the picture scroll that was placed aside.
When Gu Xiao opened the portrait given by the guard again, he found that although the woman on it was obviously different from the egret, her body shape was very similar.
In particular, the shape of those eyes is exactly the same.
Gu Xiao touched the face mask on his face, could it be that this woman has also changed her appearance?
If so, then it's really a needle in a haystack.
Just what is the purpose of the egret? Just for Princess Rui's waist card?
Gu Xiao suddenly thought that perhaps, "A Thousand Herbs" has not been destroyed yet, and it may be in the hands of the egret!
"Continue to investigate, and if you find someone who looks like the one on this painting, bring it to see the king immediately!"
"Yes! Subordinates obey! ”
After the guard left, Gu Xiao looked at the picture scroll spread out on the table, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, he had already made up his mind in his heart that he was bound to find this woman.
King Rui's death must have something to do with her, otherwise Princess Rui has reached this point, why did she kill King Rui today?
Presumably, there is also her pouting in it!
Lu Qingzi was recuperating from her injuries in Qian Baihan's mansion, and it had been five or six days since she came to the capital from Fenghuaguan until now, and she was a little worried about Wen Ye, so she asked Commander Xia to send someone to Fenghuaguan.
waited until the sunset, and didn't see anyone talking back, Lu Qingzi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, she looked at Commander Xia and asked, "It's been so long, nothing will happen!" ”
Commander Xia said thoughtfully: "Probably not, you know Mu Xuan's kung fu, not to mention that he also brought two guards with him." ”
Lu Qingzi was taken aback, and then asked, "Mu Xuan sent by the Xia Commander went to Fenghuaguan?" ”
Commander Xia was a little puzzled when he saw her so surprised, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Lu Qingzi opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at Commander Xia and shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just wait!" ”
Gu Ningyue still had a little difference from Mu Xuan in her heart, if Mu Xuan saw her and said something that shouldn't be said, Lu Qingzi didn't dare to think what kind of scene it would be.
At the moment, she has injuries on her body, although it is not very tight, but some things are not over yet, and it is always inconvenient to go out of the city frequently.
Now she can only hope that Mu Xuan didn't see Gu Ningyue, but she saw Wen Ye, and the road was delayed, so she came back so late!
Lu Qingzi waited until the night opened, and only then did he wait for Mu Xuan, and seeing that he came back safe and sound, Lu Qingzi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wen Ye, are they okay?"
Mu Xuan nodded, there was nothing unusual on his face, "It's all good, Miss Lu doesn't have to worry." ”
Lu Qingzi responded, "That's good." Is Gu Qingfeng still alive? ”
She has been gone for so many days, and she doesn't know if Gu Ningyue has already killed Gu Qingfeng.
Mu Xuan replied: "Back to Miss Lu, Gu Qingfeng is still alive, but he was tied to the firewood room by Miss Gu all day long, and he couldn't see the light." ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, without words, although Mu Xuan didn't say it, but he could also see that Gu Qingfeng must have been tortured a lot.
Mu Xuan saw that Lu Qingzi didn't speak, so he arched his hand and said, "If Miss Lu is fine, her subordinates will retire first." ”
"Wait!" Lu Qingzi looked at Mu Xuan and asked, "Commander Xia sent you out at noon, why did you come back now?" But what happened on the way? ”
Mu Xuan raised his eyes and replied to Lu Qingzi: "Miss Lu is worried, nothing happened, it was his subordinates who dealt with some private matters, and asked Miss Lu for forgiveness." ”
Lu Qingzi thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Have you seen Gu Ningyue?" ”
Mu Xuan's face changed slightly, and after a long while, Fang nodded to Lu Qingzi and said, "Yes!" The subordinates saw Miss Gu. ”
"When you left, how was Gu Ningyue?" Lu Qingzi didn't ask what they said, nor did she ask Gu Ningyue what their attitude was, only asked.
Mu Xuanleng paused for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Miss Gu, I'm very annoyed." ”
Lu Qingzi glanced at Mu Xuan meaningfully, "Go down!" I don't have anything to ask, in the future, you don't have to go again, I will explain it with Commander Xia. ”
Gu Ningyue is different from other women, she is usually like a delicate flower, she is really angered and ruthless, I am afraid that others will suffer.
Since Mu Xuan just regarded Gu Ningyue as the woman's stand-in, he still broke off contact earlier.
"Yes! The subordinates retired. ”
Mu Xuan's voice was very calm, he saluted Lu Qingzi, and then turned around and exited Lu Qingzi's house.
