Ji Qiang took advantage of the faint moonlight to rummage back and forth in the study, but the city lord's study was also big enough, and she searched for a long time but to no avail.

"Where the hell will it be?" Ji Qiang lowered her head and paced, her eyes flickering. After a while, she sneaked into the study, persistently looking for evidence, and it was not her style to return in vain.

Just as she was buried in the study, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Ji Qiang held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen, observing that there were two people, and I am afraid that it was the city lord and Xia Chengmu who could come here so late.

She hurriedly slipped down to her desk and waited with bated breath. If it was really the two of them, I heard Xia Chengmu follow the city lord into the study.

"City Lord, I think there's something wrong with that woman." Xia Chengmu frowned, thinking of the woman, she felt very familiar, and she had a bold guess in her heart, but she couldn't believe it.

"Oh? What's strange, that woman is a rare beauty, and she can't be found. As soon as the city lord thought of Ji Qiang's appearance, his expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of desire.

"That's ......" Xia Chengmu didn't say it directly, but closed the door of the study, and the light in the study had been turned on at this moment.

Seeing Xia Chengmu like this, the city lord was also a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing what he was thinking, but there was no problem with this beauty in his eyes.

Ji Qiang hid in the dark and listened secretly, her eyes also looked out through the table, and she didn't tear back the corner of the exposed clothes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"If you have something to say, please speak up." The city lord wanted to know who this Xia Chengmu suspected was.

"I think that woman is very much like the queen of today." Although Xia Chengmu said that he was skeptical, he was already seven or eight points sure in his heart.

"The Queen?"

The city lord exclaimed, this queen mother suddenly arrived, which was really alarming. But when I think about the woman's demeanor and appearance, she really looks like a queen. But...... It shouldn't be.

"Hmm." Xia Chengmu nodded, he hadn't seen the woman's face yet, but the temperament she exuded made him so suspicious.

"No...... No, no, no. The city lord shook his head again and again, obviously frightened, turned around and walked to the desk to sit down, and hurriedly took a cup of tea on the table, and drank it.

Ji Qiang swallowed her saliva without swallowing, this situation is really a crisis, don't mess with proportions. Silently stayed at the desk, not daring to move. She listened intently to the conversation below.

However, she was a little worried, after all, Xia Chengmu's words made her feel frightened.

"How could this queen mother come to Shenyang City in person? It is said that the saint loves Niangniang, how can he let Niangniang go out of the palace alone? "The more the city lord thinks about it, the more impossible it becomes, but the woman's appearance really makes people have to be suspicious. There was an incomparable contradiction in his heart, but under Xia Chengmu's persuasion, he had to be more careful.

"Could it be...... The emperor also paid a private visit? Xia Chengmu muttered in a low voice, which made the city lord even more shocked as soon as these words came out. Lian stood up from his seat, and Ji Qiang under the table was startled by him. Clutching his chest, he waited silently.

"This ......" The city lord couldn't help but look around when he heard this, revealing his weak heart, if the emperor knew their secret, wouldn't he lose his head.

"Don't panic, city lord, let's go to the East Chamber to have a look. And then how about deciding? Xia Chengmu thought for a while, it is not impossible to have such a possibility, but if the emperor paid a private visit, wouldn't their plan be known. Worries began to surface.

The city lord nodded, agreeing with Xia Chengmu's thoughts. The two walked out of the study together, and after Ji Qiang didn't hear the footsteps, she hurriedly got out from under the desk. Glamorous e-books

If these two people arrive in the East Chamber and don't see themselves, I'm afraid that this suspicion will get deeper and deeper, and she will eventually reveal her identity.

Ji Qiang hurriedly walked out of the study, how to get to the east chamber one step faster? The worry in my heart was getting worse little by little, and as soon as I stepped out of the study door, I was greeted by a person.

Seeing that it was Gu Hanyan, Ji Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, and the two glanced at each other.

"The two of them just went in the direction of the East Chamber, are they looking for you?" Gu Hanyan's gaze stayed there, and he also guessed one or two in his heart.

"Exactly, Xia Chengmu doubted my identity, so he led the city lord to test." Ji Qiang's eyebrows showed a hint of solemnity. But she looked at the person in front of her, and she must have a way.

Gu Hanyan smiled, she naturally had a way.

"Come with me." She said, leading Ji Qiang towards the shortcut, but the shortcut was a little uneasy.

"Be careful of your step, although this shortcut is very close, but no one is willing to go unless it is a special situation." Gu Hanyan has been in this city lord's mansion for a long time, and for her own safety, she has long figured out the routes of large and small wows in this mansion, and now she can still help with this little favor.

Ji Qiang didn't know what she meant by this, but when she first stepped on that path, she saw it in her heart. The road was really a little dirty, and the stench hit him, making Ji Qiang frown.

"...... I've wronged you. Gu Hanyan would never have thought that she would be in such a situation with Ji Qiang, but she is still comfortable getting along now.

"You don't have to call it that, let's call each other sisters in this house." Ji Qiang said that the road was really a little dark, so she couldn't figure it out.

Gu Hanyan smiled slightly, they just took what they needed. grabbed Ji Qiang, and it was better to escort her away.

"Help me go, be careful of falling." Gu Hanyan said, and helped Ji Qiang across the path.

"It's here!" Gu Hanyan said, pointing to the east chamber and her door.

Seeing this, Ji Qiang did arrive soon. But her worries didn't let go, and the two of them didn't know if they had arrived.

"I don't know ......"

"Rest assured, it will take some time for them to come over." Gu Hanyan explained, but when he was about to enter the room, he was stopped by Ji Qiang.

"Shoes." Ji Qiang signaled, the road they had just walked was full of mud, and it would be difficult to explain if they were noticed.

Gu Hanyan understood what she meant when she heard this, and without pause, the two of them cleaned up their shoes and entered Ji Qiang's room.

After Ji Qiang entered the room, she changed her clothes, and instead disguised herself as sleeping on the bed. And Gu Hanyan is the identity who came to visit.

"Shhhh Gu Hanyan heard the footsteps outside the door, and after reminding Ji Qiang, she was ready to go out.

Ji Qiang, who was lying on the bed, turned her head slightly sideways and glanced at Gu Hanyan, and the eyes of the two met for a moment, and they were silent.
