Su Manxue tossed for a long time, but she still didn't come up with any method, she was almost out of strength, after all, in the study, she had been tinkering for a long time.

Just now, she didn't have much rest in the secret passage, and she confronted Zhao Jun, which consumed too much of Su Manxue's physical strength, so that she didn't even have the strength to speak now.

After the secret guards in the palace learned the news of Su Manxue's disappearance, they searched the palace inside and out, but they never found Su Manxue's whereabouts.

After all, Zhao Jun locked Su Manxue in a secret passage, and Su Manxue couldn't find a chance to pass on the news to the outside world.

The secret guards couldn't find Su Manxue, so they wanted to tell Ji Jiuhua the news as soon as possible, but in order not to affect Su Manxue's plan.

They could only hide this matter and decided to tell Ji Jiuhua about it when the plan was successful.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, Zhao Jun deliberately wanted to use Su Manxue to lure Ji Jiuhua out, how could they let their ideas come true.

Zhao Jun quickly announced the news of Su Manxue's mysterious disappearance to the world, and sent a message, if anyone in the world can find Su Manxue's whereabouts, he will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold.

With this news, he let many people know that Su Manxue had been accepted into the palace by him, and after Mrs. Ji learned the news, she fainted on the spot.

Ji Jiuhua didn't let Mrs. Ji know the news, and let everyone in the Ji Mansion hide it from Mrs. Ji a long time ago.

After all, once Mrs. Ji knew the news, it was very likely that she couldn't help but have a seizure on the spot, and for them, this was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

After all, Su Manxue is the young lady of the Ji Mansion, and Zhao Jun didn't say a word, so he included the young lady of the Ji Mansion into his palace, which made people not angry.

Ji Jiuhua was busy appeasing Mrs. Ji, and hurried to send someone to search for Su Manxue's whereabouts, he didn't believe Zhao Jun's words at all, Su Manxue was definitely still in the palace.

It's just that I don't know where I was locked up by Zhao Jun, maybe Su Manxue is locked up in the dungeon now, Ji Jiuhua thought that the last time he was locked up in the dungeon by Zhao Jun.

But it is impossible for him to repeat his old tricks, so Zhao Jun should just change places this time, but all in all, Su Manxue is definitely still in the palace now, otherwise Zhao Jun would not be able to look for Su Manxue so openly, with his character, he would only find Su Manxue secretly.

When Zhao Jun didn't know, Ji Jiuhua had already known everything about Zhao Jun from Gu Qin's mouth, so he wouldn't be deceived by Zhao Jun's little carving skill at all.

Zhao Jun didn't expect that he would use Su Manxue as bait, but Ji Jiuhua didn't expect that he hadn't looked for Su Manxue everywhere until now.

This made Zhao Jun even more suspicious of whether Ji Jiuhua was doing something behind his back, otherwise he would not have been so calm until now, after all, it was Su Manxue who disappeared, how much he valued Schumann, and Zhao Jun didn't know.

Zhao Jun soon sent his proud henchman Shen Siye to investigate the matter thoroughly, Shen Siye was busy taking care of his daughter-in-law who was about to give birth these days, and he had already told the emperor that he would no longer go to the court when he was on vacation in the palace during this time.

Unexpectedly, at such a time, the emperor still had to send him to investigate whether Ji Jiuhua had done anything to usurp the throne.

And Zhao Jun didn't know that his friendship with Ji Jiuhua had always been good, and Zhao Jun was suspicious of him.

wanted to use this matter to investigate whether Ji Jiuhua had betrayed him, and secondly, he also wanted to test Shen Siye.

After all, Shen Siye's relationship with Ji Jiuhua was well known to the Manchu Dynasty, Shen Siye shook his head, he didn't expect the emperor to suspect him so quickly.

It seems that Zhao Jun's suspicion will not be changed for a while, which makes him have an even more headache, and he doesn't want to stay by Zhao Jun's side for a long time.

After all, a companion is like a tiger, and Zhao Jun is even more suspicious than ordinary people, he has to always pay attention to himself, whether he has said anything wrong, once he accidentally offends him, I am afraid that the next thing that will greet him will only be endless disasters.

"Yes, the minister."

Zhao Jun didn't mean to discuss this matter with him at all, it was a death order given to him, unless he resisted the order, this matter was not negotiable at all.

After Ji Jiuhua learned that Shen Siye was investigating him behind his back, he knew that Zhao Jun couldn't bear it, and sure enough, as long as he didn't move for a while, he began to wonder if he was doing something behind his back.

He gave all the things at hand to the butler beside him, and sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night.

Ji Jiuhua was not at ease at all, and only explained this matter to the dark guards around him, after all, the secret guards had no way to think as much as they did in this kind of matter.

The first place he checked was the study, Ji Jiuhua was locked up in the dungeon with Gu Qin last time, because Gu Qin was locked in earlier than him, and the injuries on his body were naturally much more serious than him.

At that time, Gu Qin was already unconscious, and he didn't have any sense at all, and he still had some reason at that time to see clearly that Zhao Jun came from a secret passage, presumably he must have dug a secret passage somewhere.

And since Zhao Jun has been in and out the most these days, the place he has been in and out of the most is the study, so the first place Ji Jiuhua checked was the study.

When he reached the eaves of the study, the light was still shining in the study, and it seemed that he was still in the study, and had not left.

Seeing this, Ji Jiuhua confirmed his guess even more, if there was really nothing in the study, he would not stay in the study all the time.

It seems that there should be something very important in the study, Ji Jiuhua waited until midnight to see him leave the study.

After he left the study, Ji Jiuhua immediately moved in, and sure enough, he didn't look for long in the study before he saw a mechanism, and as soon as he opened the mechanism, he heard Su Manxue's voice talking.

In fact, Su Manxue also heard movement outside, and it didn't look like Zhao Jun's voice, so she guessed that the people around her were looking for her.

Ji Jiuhua was just about to go in, when suddenly there was a very light footstep outside, he quickly restored everything to the way it was just now, quickly hid on the beam, and then held back his breath.

The person who came in was still Zhao Jun, and he was followed by a man in black, and the two of them entered the study together, and the man in black knelt down towards him as soon as he entered.

"The subordinates are powerless, please punish the Lord!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, Zhao Jun kicked him violently, and this kick used a lot of strength, and immediately kicked the man in black to the ground, almost powerless to struggle.

Ji Jiuhua was not interested in their words, he just wanted Zhao Jun to leave here, so that he could continue to sneak in and take a look.

"If you don't find evidence next time, you can pay with your life."

He glanced impatiently at the man in black and waved his hand at him, and the man in black disappeared.
