Chapter 156
The common people have no time to feel sad about the past between the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom and Princess Yuning, they only feel that the identities of Gao Kun and Xie Chen make them feel bursting.

According to them, Princess Yuning has become a slut, Prime Minister Xie has been taken advantage of, and the emperor is unkind...

This is the great gift that Gao Kun gave them after getting familiar with human nature.

The messages outside the palace became more and more intense, and even the courtiers of the Xiliang Kingdom wrote to ask the Xiliang Emperor to disassociate himself from this matter.

In the palace, the emperor sat in a high position, listening to the rumors outside, his heart was in chaos.

He had the impression that Gao Kun was the little eunuch Chen'er had rescued before, and later followed Yong Zhao to work in her palace, and he had seen it himself.

But they were all his children, but he only had Yong Zhao in his eyes at that time.

The guilt in his heart was mixed with the helplessness of this matter, he was already in good health, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

On the dragon couch, the emperor's face was still pale after using the medicine. He pulled the crown prince Yan Qing'an beside him and said, "Don't worry about the rumors outside, find Gao Kun and let him live...or see me."

Rumors cannot be stopped, this is the only way they can find Xie Chen and Gao Kun.

Only by following the rumors can one find the person behind the scenes.

Yan Qing'an looked at the royal father in front of him, and it seemed like a different person in just half a month.

"But... Xiliang Kingdom doesn't seem to be planning to admit it anymore." Yan Qing'an told the emperor what he had heard.

If Xiliang Kingdom refuses to admit it, it will blame Princess Yuning entirely...

In this way, all the anger of the people in Yan Zhao's country will be transferred to Princess Yuning and the royal family, and Xie Chen will also be involved.

Over time, it will bring about instability in the court and loss of popular support.

"He won't, he's not right to treat Yuning like this." The emperor said with affirmative eyes, thinking of the boy decades ago.

He will never put Yuning in danger like himself.

From the time the rumors started spreading, Gu Hengyu sent his subordinates to investigate.

It all came from the mouth of a storyteller in a small teahouse, Gu Hengyu caught him and interrogated him himself.

According to the storyteller, he received a box of gold and silver, and was about to flee after talking about it, but was caught ahead of time.

The man saw him with his face covered, and his voice was different from that of a normal man.

It must be Gao Kun.

After Gu Hengyu got the news, no matter it was late at night, he directly led people to investigate possible places one by one, and even found Sun Shilang's abandoned mansion.

Overnight, the Third Prince's Mansion, the place where Nan He lived, and any place in the capital where Gao Kun was involved were all checked by Gu Hengyu himself.

In the end, Gu Hengyu stood alone under the moon, thinking of Xie Chen's injury in Xie Mansion Biezhuang before, his brows frowned.

That incident happened suddenly, and I only focused on finding a doctor to heal her injury.

But how Xie Chen was injured, and what secrets there are in Xie Mansion's Biezhuang, Gu Hengyu has no way of knowing.

Following the thoughts in his heart, Gu Hengyu led people to the Xie Mansion Biezhuang before dawn.

When they arrived in that small town, Gu Hengyu's wound had been torn due to the night's hard work, and a little blood oozes out from under the gauze.

"Master, you go to the inn to rest first, I will watch over here, you will never..."

Yun He looked at the bruises and recurring wounds under Gu Hengyu's eyes, and said worriedly.

Ever since Gu Hengyu woke up, even in the first few days when he couldn't move, he ordered people to look for it after drinking the medicine.

I didn't see him having a good night's sleep at night.

After the injury improved a little, I took people to search for it, and almost turned the entire capital upside down.

When Gu Hengyu heard Yunhe's words, he looked up at him and said, "I'm fine, I can go in by myself."

Since the last time Xie Chen came to the Biezhuang of Xie Mansion, the people below were all in fear, for fear of another surprise inspection.

When Gu Hengyu arrived this time, the trees, flowers and plants in the villa were well taken care of, and the table and the ground were not as dissatisfied with dust as before. It could be seen that the people below were thinking.

Seeing Gu Hengyu coming, the new mother inside bowed to salute: "Why is Gu Xiaohou so free today?"

Gu Hengyu glanced at the servants who were kneeling on the ground, but didn't notice anything.

"What's strange here these days?" Gu Hengyu asked straight to the point.

A group of servants lowered their eyes and did not answer. The new nanny looked around and replied: "Recalling the young master's words, there are people in the nursing home at night, and nothing is wrong."

This place is in a town, the folk customs are simple and honest, and few things happen.

If it wasn't for Xie Chen's sudden arrival last time to scare them, they wouldn't have specially kept someone to guard Zhuangzi at night.

Gu Hengyu nodded, without explaining why he came, "I'm just walking around, something was left here last time."

Naturally, they did not dare to accept Gu Hengyu's words, "Then the slaves will not bother Gu Xiaohou."

Gu Hengyu walked in with Yunhe, this villa is not too big, it only has two courtyards, front and back, separated by a bamboo forest.

Gu Hengyu searched around in the front yard, and walked towards the bamboo forest without any mystery.

The bricks on the bamboo grove seemed to be newly replaced, Gu Hengyu squatted down to look, but did not find any mechanism.

However, he couldn't let go of any details about finding Xie Chen, so he walked around the bamboo forest.

When stepping on the place where Xie Chen found the secret letter before, he felt something under his feet.

Gu Hengyu leaned over to check, but it was an empty shell.

Could it be that since the last time, Gao Kun and the others have abandoned this place and never visited again?
Although he had this thought, Gu Hengyu still walked towards the backyard.

In any case, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will seize it.

He didn't dare to miss Xie Chen anymore, Xie Chen was injured and robbed, he was worried...

The door to the backyard was not locked like it was when Xie Chen came last time, Gu Hengyu opened it with a push.

Yunhe followed Gu Hengyu and walked in.

Walking to the main hall, just like in the front yard, I didn't miss a single detail, knocked on the walls and the floor, but found no trace.

The same is true for the two hut side halls.

"Master, there doesn't seem to be anything special here." Yunhe stood in the yard and said to Gu Hengyu.

He checked everything that should be checked, but there was really no sign of anyone coming.

Gu Hengyu lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking or feeling sad that he couldn't find Xie Chen.

At the end, he looked at Yunhe and said, "Let's go, I'll return to Beijing later."

Yunhe nodded and answered yes, followed Gu Hengyu out.

When he arrived at the inn, Yun He packed his luggage and asked, "Master, do you need to rest here for a night?"

From last night to now, Gu Hengyu has never rested, not to mention he is still seriously injured, even normal people can't bear it.

Gu Hengyu sat by the table, tapped the table with his fingers one after another, and said, "No need, when it gets dark, let's go to Biezhuang again."

"Don't startle the snake."
