Chapter 137
It was late at night, and the moon outside was covered by dark clouds, looming, like a shy girl.

In the dark night, a swift figure flashed past and landed in the courtyard of the Xuchun Courtyard of the Wangfu.

Strangely, the maid on duty at night saw him and didn't stop him, and opened the door for him to let him in.

The moment the dark cloud drifted away, the light of the moon shone on the man's face, presenting his face in front of others.

He is none other than Lu Xin.

He walked lightly to the outside, and there was a sound of footsteps, and he said in a deep voice, "My lord."

He controlled his voice very well so that he wouldn't wake up Gu Qingning who was sleeping next to Ye Huaichu, but it was enough to wake up Ye Huaichu.

Ye Huaichu woke up, got out of bed and put on some clothes, went outside, pressed a book on the top two shelves of the bookcase, and the bookcase turned over, revealing a secret door.

Ye Huaichu and Lu Xin walked in, and the door of the bookcase closed by itself, everything was as before, as if everything that happened just now was an illusion.

Walking through the long corridor, they reached the dark room, which contained many confidential letters and other important animals.

In addition, next door to this dark room is a small prison cell, which is used to torture the special prisoners who have been captured.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ye Huaichu asked in a deep voice.

Lu Xin rarely wakes him up at night, unless there is something very important.

Lu Xin took out a letter and handed it to Ye Huaichu.

Ye Huaichu took it, opened the letter, and after reading the words on it, his hands tightened quickly, crumpling the letter into a ball.

"Simply audacious!"

The letter stated that Pingyang Hou had mined ore in the Huainan area, but he did not conceal it and reported it to the imperial court, but took it privately.

Ore can be used to smelt weapons, and he swallowed the ore privately, and his heart can be seen.

"My lord, we don't have any evidence now, and Pingyang Hou is so cautious. If our people are not smart this time, we might not find out until they have mined all the ore."

What Lu Xin said, Ye Huaichu understood that the Lantern Festival is coming, and he had promised Gu Qingning to accompany her to the Lantern Festival, so he couldn't leave.

Besides, the imperial court needed him, and he couldn't leave the capital. If he went to investigate, he might be noticed by Pingyang Hou before he arrived in Huainan.

"Does the lord have a suitable candidate?" Lu Xin deserved to be Ye Huaichu's confidant, looking at his eyes, he could tell what he was thinking.

"Sun Wenliang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is one of our people. After being suppressed for so long in Dali Temple, it's time to show his true strength."

Lu Xin understood: "Yes, this subordinate understands!"

After arranging everything, Ye Huaichu came out of the dark room, quietly lay back on the bed, and continued to sleep.

Everything just now seemed to have never happened.

Gu Qingning next to her turned over, exposed her hand, and slammed it on Ye Huaichu's face with a "slap". The sleepiness she had just felt was completely wiped out by her.

Ye Huaichu opened his eyes helplessly, gently took Gu Qingning's hand, and stuffed her hand back into the bed.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, he propped his chin with his hands and stared sideways at her sleeping face.

Asleep, she is like a sleeping beauty, but after falling asleep, she always likes to toss and turn.

This sleeping appearance, when she grows up in the future, it is estimated that her future husband-in-law will be tormented enough.

I don't know which young master can be favored by Gu Qingning.

When he thought that Gu Qingning would be hugged and cared by another man in the future, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
