Chapter 417
After Cui Hengyue returned to the house, the spies hiding outside the house quietly left and reported the situation to their respective masters.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Song Zhuoxing pondered for a while, and then ordered Runzhu: "Continue to keep an eye on Duke Jingguo's Mansion, and report any changes in time.
"If Miss Cui sneaks out of the house and wants to go to the Regent's house to save people, then find a way to stop her."
Runzhu subconsciously said yes, but the next moment his face showed surprise: "Ms. Cui knows that Su Biwen and Li Bi'er are being held in the Regent's Palace?"
Thinking that Cui Hengyue had just gone to the Regent's Mansion, the look on her face became even more surprised: "The Regent didn't tell her, right?"
"This is just my guess." Song Zhuoxing looked solemn, "The regent is very suspicious and acts cunningly. Last time, he just suspected my relationship with Miss Cui and poisoned me.
"If he doubts the relationship between Cui Hengyue and Su Biwen this time, he will deliberately reveal the information to Cui Hengyue and let her fall into a trap."
Runzhu couldn't help but shudder. It was terrible that such a vicious person still held such a high position.
"Anyway, send more people to keep an eye on Duke Jingguo's mansion and report any changes in time."
After Song Zhuoxing finished his instructions, he began to discuss with Qingzhu: "It is better to save people sooner rather than later. We will take action tonight. You go and gather people now..."
At this moment, Yao Shisan calmly walked out of the side door of Duke Jingguo's mansion, and wandered around the stalls not far outside the mansion with a calm expression.
When he walked to the third candy seller's stall, he took out copper coins and lowered his voice: "Go back and report to your master. In an hour, Yuan Niang will be waiting for him at the same place. He will not wait if he is late."
After speaking quickly, he raised his voice and said, "Bring me two candy men."
The vendor was stunned for a moment, then shouted "Okay" loudly, and took two candy figures to Yao Shisan.
After Yao Shisan left, he still stood in front of the stall.
After a while, a handsome scholar came to the stall.
"I want a candy man."
"okay."
The vendor lowered his head to take the candy and whispered: "Go back home immediately and report to the master. In an hour, Cui Yuanniang will be waiting for the master at the same place. Don't wait if you are late."
The scholar took the candy man and left quickly.
An hour later, Cui Hengyue was sitting in the elegant room of the teahouse. After waiting for a while, no one came, and then she got up and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door open and came in: "You are young after all and have no patience at all."
Cui Hengyue was a little angry when she saw Wang Wenqian sitting across from her and unceremoniously eating the exquisite pastries she prepared for him.
She snatched the plate of pastries and sneered coldly: "You are not punctual yourself, and you blame me for being impatient? Is this how the Wang family rakes over everything?"
"you......"
Wang Wenqian was so angry that his face was livid, and then he thought that he was an elder, why should he argue with a little girl?
Thinking of this, Wang Wenqian calmed down his mood and said calmly: "I just came from the western suburbs camp. Next time you want to see me, please send a message one day in advance."
The main camp in the western suburbs is not close to here. One hour is not enough to send messages back and forth. He must have rushed here quickly.
Cui Hengyue was a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but apologize, so she sat down again and silently pushed the cake in front of Wang Wenqian.
"What do you want from me?" Wang Wengan didn't ask her how she found out that the vendor outside the house was one of his, but directly asked her her purpose.
Ever since Cui Hengyue kidnapped Liu Yang and helped him rescue his son last time, he knew that Cui Hengyue was not an ordinary daughter of aristocratic families. It was not surprising that she could find out the spies he arranged outside the Duke of Jingguo's mansion.
Cui Hengyue sat upright with a serious expression: "Su Biwen was arrested by the regent."
"Ahem——"
Wang Wenqian coughed violently and finally swallowed the cake in his mouth. He couldn't wait to ask: "Is this serious?"
"Absolutely true."
"Um..." Wang Wenqian suddenly realized that he seemed to have exposed something, and his expression returned to indifference: "Su Biwen is a prisoner of the imperial court. He was arrested. What does it have to do with me?"
Still pretending to be garlic?
The aristocratic families are all sanctimonious people.
Cui Hengyue slandered and said unforgivingly: "Really? If what you told me last time is true, then you should be the ones secretly protecting Su Biwen.
"Although the Wang family is cruel to their own flesh and blood, they are affectionate and loyal to General Su. They did not hesitate to send General Su's grandson to Yunxuan Temple at the risk of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
"Such affection is truly admirable."
The indifference on Wang Wenqian's face could no longer be restrained, and what followed was shame and guilt: "Yuan Niang..."
"Snapped!"
Cui Hengyue took out something and put it on the table: "This is General Su's relic. You should recognize it."
Of course I recognize it.
Wang Wenqian slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the familiar jade pendant. Feeling the patterns on it, he couldn't help but blush.
General Su once taught him martial arts.
Once a teacher, always a father...
Cui Hengyue locked eyes with him and continued: "Not long ago, Su Biwen forged his identity and sneaked into the Jingguo Palace and became my coachman.
"But for some reason, my grandfather found out that his identity was forged, so he escaped from the palace, but accidentally fell into the hands of the regent.
"He is in the Regent's Palace now, but the Regent probably doesn't know his identity yet, so if you want to save him, do it as soon as possible. I'm afraid he won't last long."
Wang Wengan pinched the jade pendant, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Cui Hengyue in surprise: "How did you know he was in the Regent's Palace?"
"Because the Prince Regent took me to see it himself."
What?
Wang Wenqian was very shocked.
Cui Hengyue laughed at himself: "Yes, the regent just wants to lure me into taking the bait, so I can't save Su Biwen, so you go."
This little girl is not too stupid.
Wang Wenqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with firm eyes: "Okay, I'll go rescue people."
Seeing that he agreed, Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief, took out paper and pen, and said while drawing: "When I went to see him today, Su Biwen was locked up in the front yard, in this position.
"However, the regent is deliberately leading me there, and there is a possibility that Subiwen will be transferred. You'd better investigate first before making a decision."
After finishing the drawing, Cui Hengyue handed the map to Wang Wenqian: "I stayed in the Regent's Mansion for a few days and memorized some places and drew them on it. As for other places...
"I hope this map will be useful to you."
Wang Wenqian looked at the detailed map and knew Cui Hengyue a little better.
His niece is not as vulgar and ignorant as the outside world says. On the contrary, she is very smart.
After the two agreed, Cui Hengyue was about to leave. He stopped when he reached the door and turned his back to Wang Wenqian: "Be careful in everything."
After speaking, open the door and leave.
Wang Wenqian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and stared at the map.
After a while, he put away the map and jade pendant and left the teahouse.
