Moreover, when Wang met Gu, she couldn't help but discover that Gu had an aura of dignity and grandeur.

This reminded her of the late Queen Leng, who came from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. She was also a heroine. She was once the most beautiful and talented woman in Shangjing, with dazzling charm.

It’s a pity that the late queen passed away early.

Gu smiled and said, "Madam Xue, you don't have to be so polite. I just received the visiting card and came here in a hurry. I am sorry that I am not entertaining you well. Please don't be offended, Madam Xue."

Wang looked at Gu's expression. She gave people a kind and gentle feeling, but Wang did not dare to underestimate Gu. She cheered up and greeted him, "How could it be? I am very happy to meet Madam Leng."

"I would also like to thank Madam Leng for giving me this face..."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Gu asked directly, "I wonder if Madam Xue has come for something important?"

Wang sighed and said, "I wonder if Madam Leng has heard about Prince Consort Song."

"Princess Mindai was in a bad mood at the time and said some unpleasant things. I came here specifically to apologize."

"Prince Leng is working for the emperor. We should all believe in his ability."

After saying that, Wang pricked up her ears, wanting to see what Gu had to say.

He also looked at Gu's expression, trying to figure out something.

Gu smiled meaningfully and said, "Hey, my Yuebai really works hard from dawn to dusk, and he has lost a lot of weight during this period."

"In the beginning, if he arrested someone, there was no guarantee that the family would blame him, but in the end, they would all be grateful to him."

"Just like General Wu, at first he didn't believe his wife was a spy from Southern Xinjiang, let alone that she would harm his life, but that was the fact."

"General Wu, now I feel ashamed when I see my Yuebai."

"Even if his life is saved, Shen Lian is still alive and well in the mansion and can still harm him again."

Wang listened to these words carefully and realized that Gu was hinting at something.

Could it be that you are talking about Princess Mindai and Prince Consort Song?

Wang's face looked a little bad, but she still smiled politely and said, "We have also heard about what happened in General Wu's mansion."

"Even Prince Consort Song seems to be a hard-working and ambitious person, and he is also very kind to Princess Mindai."

"We didn't have much contact before, and we didn't know much."

"So when we heard that he was a spy, we really didn't believe it at first."

"But if they are really spies, we also think those people in southern Xinjiang are too scary."

"Madam Leng, you also know that Princess Mindai grew up in the palace and has a simple personality. She believed in Prince Consort Song because she thought he saved her. As a woman, it is inevitable that she will be easily moved and soft-hearted. Prince Consort Song always puts Princess Mindai first, so Princess Mindai naturally believes him."

"It's hard for her to accept that Prince Consort Song was arrested all of a sudden. She may not have thought before she spoke. But Concubine Hui said that Princess Mindai sometimes talks nonsense and it's not to be taken seriously."

When Concubine Hui was mentioned, Gu smiled and said, "How could that be?"

"If he really cared, Yuebai wouldn't have gone to arrest Prince Consort Song at this time."

"Although I don't know much about handling cases, I do know Yuebai's personality. He has always been steady and prudent. Sometimes what he does may not be understood, but over time everyone will know that what he does is right."

"When he came back last night, I scolded him. I thought he was too impulsive to arrest Prince Consort Song."

"But the child said that he was doing it for the princess's own good, so that she wouldn't be deceived forever."

"I wanted to ask something else, but the child refused to tell me."

"I also said that I'm not afraid of Princess Mindai's blame."

Since Concubine Hui wanted to get information and knew something, she would reveal some of it.

It would be best for Concubine Hui to hold Princess Mindai down, even if she has to be tied up to ensure she is tied up tightly.

Otherwise, if Princess Mindai is released and uses her power to stop Yuebai from doing things, it would be troublesome.

You cannot capture Princess Mindai, let alone do anything to her.

I'm afraid that Princess Mindai will be used by Song Xiangjian and do something stupid.

Fortunately, Concubine Hui has lived in the palace for so many years and is not a stupid person.

Minister Xue also knew what he was doing and was not confused.

But it's also true that the emperor takes matters involving southern Xinjiang spies so seriously. Anyone who dares to get involved would be risking his life.

Only Princess Mindai is as stupid.

After hearing this, Wang understood what was going on, but her face turned pale at the same time.

Can't hide it.

Her heart beat faster, realizing that this time things might be really serious.

He also realized that Song Xiangjian might really be a spy.

Wang was on pins and needles at this moment, unable to sit still, and wished she could go back and tell her master immediately.

Wang suppressed her emotions and continued to ask, "The Song family seems to be very honest and well behaved. Even Xiang Jian treats his nephew very well."

Gu naturally understood what Wang meant, and pretended to mention it casually: "I have heard some things from people. Prince Consort Song is very dedicated to his nephew, and he is more dedicated and strict than he is to his own daughter."

"But I can understand it. I heard that the death of Prince Consort Song's parents and eldest brother happened at a very coincidental time."

"But these things are just hearsay. We don't know the truth. We just heard it from others."

Gu said all this in order to let Minister Xue or Concubine Hui personally arrange people to investigate the Song family.

It would be more effective to use their hands to conduct the investigation.

Wang didn't think that Gu was talking nonsense for no reason.

These words must be very important, Wang remembered them carefully.

After talking to Gu for a long time, Wang finally took her leave.

Gu personally saw her off.

The Minister of War was a seasoned man who did not form cliques for personal gain and rarely interacted with officials in private.

Concubine Hui was also resourceful and intelligent in the palace, otherwise she would not have been able to hold on to her position as a concubine with only one princess, without anyone trying to change her.

Just look at the fact that she promptly imprisoned Princess Mindai and did not allow her to leave the palace. It can be seen that Concubine Hui is a smart and decisive person.

My sister-in-law passed away early, so the information about the Crown Prince in the palace was not complete.

Even if there were spies, they would not be able to get the news as quickly as the concubines in the harem.

Sometimes the emperor would say a few words or reveal something, and the concubines would be able to get the news faster.

So the other princes were trying to win over Concubine Hui and the Xue family.

This time, it was the Xue family who took the initiative to approach. If possible, Gu wanted to win over Concubine Hui and Minister Xue.

But she also understands that haste makes waste.

It depends on the sincerity of the Xue family.

Wang walked out for a while, and was blown by the wind. She calmed down and seemed to have thought of something. She turned around and bowed to Gu, saying, "Thank you, Madam Leng. The Xue family will remember your kindness this time."

This means accepting their kindness.

The smile in Gu's eyes deepened. It seemed that Wang was also a smart person.

I understood what she meant by deliberately saying those words just now.

In fact, she almost told them directly that Song Xiangjian was a spy from Southern Xinjiang, and they didn't need to count on luck.

As for what other secrets Song Xiangjian is hiding, we have to investigate the Song family to find out.
