Chapter 146: Little Scout
Chapter 146: Little Scout
After instructing the servant, Tuanzi returned to the princess's room. Su Muxi lay on the bed eating pears. Pears were a rare commodity in the northwest. Xiao Yunjin got a basket of them from somewhere. Su Muxi gave some to her mother and sister-in-law, and kept the rest for herself.
Just now Yuanzi said that He Yuncheng was a different person from the one in the capital, and he played with the maid in the bathroom for a long time.
Su Muxi naturally knew that they were two different types of people. Before Xiao Yunjin seized the throne, he was very patient. He was suspicious, jealous, and guarded.
He Yuncheng was different. He was the son of an aristocratic family, loved by his parents and born as a prince. He had an extraordinary status in the mansion and no one dared to offend him. Even the maidservants in the same room did not dare to openly establish themselves as his own, probably because of Xiao Yunjin.
"Princess, there's a man called Cang Ying here. He said he has something urgent to do and he's going to see the prince." Tuanzi didn't mention the beating just now. "Do you want to see him?"
Goshawk, Su Muxi snorted coldly. In order to cover up the lie, Xiao Yunjin pointed the goshawk over to her. How could she not cooperate? "Goshawk is good at Qinggong, no need to send anyone to follow him."
Tuanzi thought about how the monkey dodged the whip and thought that he was indeed better at Qinggong, so he nodded to indicate that he knew what to do.
Su Muxi finished the pear with a few crunchy bites, then wiped her hands with the towel that Yuanzi handed over, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate today going?
Tuanzi suddenly became serious. It was all because of that Prince He that she forgot about the important things. "I have already found the person the princess asked to check. His name is Wu Si. He lives on Qianyazi Street and works under General Ningyuan. Didn't the princess ask the second master to send someone? He is one of them, a small scout."
It was really him. No wonder Su Muxi felt that he was very familiar at first sight. The guard beside Jiang Mingxuan at that time was this face. In order to confirm it, she went to the Dali Temple, and then was kidnapped, which triggered this series of subsequent events.
In her previous life, Su Muxi was in the army. She had no recollection of how Wu Si came to work under her. In her memory, he was just a scout general.
In Feng Country, she used Xiao Yunjin to get rid of the disguised man, so this Wu Si should be the real deal. "Keep a close eye on him, and report any unusual movements immediately."
Tuanzi didn't know why Su Muxi asked her to keep an eye on a small scout, but that didn't stop her from blindly worshipping him. "Don't worry, Princess."
As soon as the topic here came to an end, there was a knock on the door. Su Muxi waved her hand to signal them to open the door. Tuanzi glanced at Yuanzi and got up to open the door.
He Yuncheng was standing outside the door, followed by Cang Ying. Tuanzi said enthusiastically, "The prince is finally here. The princess has been waiting for a long time."
He Yuncheng had already changed into clothes for going out. After hearing what Tuanzi said, he walked inside. Even if what Cang Ying said was true, he would have to talk to Su Muxi in person before leaving.
Cang Ying was dumbfounded behind him. Could this man change his expression? How could his expression change so suddenly? While he was thinking about it, He Yuncheng walked into the room. Cang Ying saw it and thought it was unacceptable, so he quickly followed him in.
Tuanzi originally wanted to close the door, but was bumped and staggered. He saw the man named Cang Ying who had been beaten just now followed in. This was the princess's bedroom, how could he, a servant, come in? Tuanzi reached out to grab the man, but Cang Ying was too cunning, and Tuanzi failed to catch him, and he slipped into the inner room.
Tuanzi stomped his feet in annoyance, closed the door and followed in.
When Su Muxi heard the knock on the door, she got up from the bed and walked out. She saw Tuanzi staring at Goshawk. Su Muxi turned her eyes to He Yuncheng, "Is there something wrong?"
"I have some things to deal with, which will probably take two days," He Yuncheng said seriously, "I hope the princess can say a few good words to mother."
"Just go and do it if it's urgent?" Su Muxi was very easy to talk to. "Don't worry about your family."
"Then Princess, please go to bed early!" He Yuncheng looked at Su Muxi deeply, turned around and walked out.
Tuanzi went to open the door.
Su Muxi didn't move. She watched them leave the door before calling out, "Cangying, where is my maid?"
Goshawk's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped walking stiffly, "Princess, Miss Ying is injured, and it is not suitable for her to move for the time being, so she didn't come with me."
"I see?" Su Muxi looked at Cang Ying with interest, "Okay then! You go with the prince first, and when you come back, I have something to tell you."
"Yes," Cang Ying had a lot of grievances in his heart. It was really not easy to be an undercover agent. He Yuncheng didn't trust him in the first place, and now his situation would only become more difficult.
He Yuncheng stopped when Su Muxi called out to Cang Ying. He turned around and looked at the two of them. It turned out that Xiao Yunjin and Su Muxi were so close that he could directly dispatch Cang Ying.
He Yuncheng left. When the Duke's wife received the notice, she rushed directly to Su Muxi's room, grabbed her and started scolding her.
Poor Su Muxi didn't sleep for a long time that night. She was woken up early in the morning and scolded, "Mother, it was the prince who had to leave for something urgent. It wasn't me who asked him to leave."
Su Muxi died unjustly, "My dear mother, your daughter is still recovering from her injuries! Please respect me."
The wife of the Duke naturally loves her daughter, but her daughter is a cause of great worry. What girl would do all these things?
She was asked to write a letter back to Beijing every three days to say that she missed her. The Duchess's wife felt relieved, but what could she do? She just teased her own mother.
Thanks to Lin Jiaorui, she exaggerated the news from the capital city when she told her the news. First she heard it was a hijacking, then she heard it was serious injury, and third she heard she would not live long.
She was living in fear here and even had a fight with the Duke of Zhenguo, asking him to go to the capital to see his daughter. But what was the result? She managed to escape and even her own mother was kept in the dark.
She went to Feng Kingdom to stir up trouble in the court. Isn’t Yun Dynasty a big place enough for her to play around?
This girl of hers is too wild. She has already married and doesn't care about her reputation. Ah Da is in the Northwest Camp. She doesn't believe that Su Muxi doesn't know about He Yuncheng. She lets it go. What does she want to do? The Duke's wife is afraid! She is afraid that this girl will go against the norm and covet the man who has come back from the dead.
"I think you are doing well. If the prince has something to do, can't you go with him? Aren't you capable? Didn't you go to Feng Country alone?" The Duke's wife was furious. "Don't think I don't know what you are up to? I tell you, it's impossible."
