Chapter 325: Multiple Investigations
Shen Jingxuan sat up: "Amo, no matter what I do, you won't stop me, right?"
Ever since Yun Qingmo mentioned that he was going to stay in the palace for a while, she guessed his intention.
Now that I know the whole story, I also know that he is not just accompanying me, but more likely he wants to stop me from doing something wrong.
Yun Qingmo and Shen Jingxuan looked at each other for a long time and sighed secretly. He knew that he could not stop Shen Jingxuan from making any decision.
They have known each other for too long and understand each other too well. Even with just a glance or a word from her, she knows what he wants to do.
Yun Qingmo looked away and said softly, "Ah Xuan, I know I can't stop you, but I have a request."
He looked at Shen Jingxuan and continued, "No matter what you do, don't hide it from me, okay?"
"No matter what you do, I will stay with you until I know for sure whether it is true or not."
Yun Qingmo knew that it was futile to stop her, so he had to take a step back and asked to stay by Shen Jingxuan's side.
At least when she encounters problems, she has someone to discuss with or someone to talk to, so that she won't feel too depressed.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Amo."
As long as it doesn't hinder her, she doesn't need to worry about other things.
Shen Jingxuan no longer paid attention to Yun Qingmo. She looked at Ling Qiong and asked, "Is there any news from Luofeng Temple?"
"Not yet. The place where the accident happened is quite far from Shangjing City. I'm afraid the news won't be transmitted back for a while."
There are many branches of Luofeng Temple. No matter which city you are in, it will be much easier to get information. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that the distance for transmitting the information is too long and it will take some time.
Shen Jingxuan's eyebrows gradually frowned: "Go to the Scarlet Flame Temple to find Li Luo and the Third Elder, and let them investigate together."
"Do you know where the prince encountered the ambush?"
Ling Qiong shook her head slightly: "I don't know yet."
She had no way of knowing until the news from Luofeng Temple came back.
Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and inform Li Luo first, and then send someone to the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about the news."
Thinking about what Xie Zihan said when he left a few days ago, this matter must be related to him.
Since the news from Luofeng Temple cannot be transmitted back in time, the fastest way is to go to the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate.
Ling Qiong's eyes lit up slightly, and she responded and left quickly.
Yun Qingmo sat on the edge of the bed, listening to her instructions quietly, without saying a word, as if he didn't care about anything.
Shen Jingxuan was silent for a long time, then looked at Yun Qingmo: "Amo, are you sure you won't stop me?"
"Yeah." Yun Qingmo responded softly.
Xie Lingxiao is Shen Jingxuan's husband. As Shen Jingxuan's friend, what qualifications does he have to stop her from making any decision?
His only wish was to be with Shen Jingxuan. As long as he could see her every day, he had nothing else to ask for.
Shen Jingxuan stared at Yun Qingmo and said, "I want to go to the border and look for him at the place where A Xiao was ambushed."
“Even though we don’t know the exact direction, at least when we receive the message, we will arrive faster.”
Although she mentioned this matter because she wanted to test whether Yun Qingmo would really not stop her as he said, she hoped that her decision would be supported by one person.
She couldn't tell this matter to anyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, nor to her two masters, because if they knew, they would definitely not agree, especially the two masters.
Shen Jingxuan stroked her belly gently. If she hadn't had to, she would have wanted to stay at home and rest assured to take care of her baby, quietly waiting for Xie Lingxiao to return.
But now the news of Xie Lingxiao's death is known to the whole city, so she has to look for him herself, and she doesn't feel comfortable leaving the matter to other people.
In any case, she didn't believe the rumors on the street.
Yun Qingmo was silent for a long time: "Okay, I'll go with you."
He had thought of Shen Jingxuan's decision in advance. Since he had said he would not stop her, how could he let her down?
"We'll set off tomorrow." Shen Jingxuan said.
After saying this, she stared at the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan didn't continue talking, Yun Qingmo just said to go back and prepare, then got up and left.
Shen Jingxuan looked at his leaving figure, her lips slightly curled up.
After all, there is someone standing by her side who will not stop her from making any decision.
Although it is not appropriate to let Yun Qingmo stay with him, as long as it can make him feel at ease, it is fine.
Shen Jingxuan did not sleep the whole night, thinking about Xie Lingxiao and worried that no news from Luofeng Temple had been sent back.
As the sky gradually brightened, Shen Jingxuan got up and quickly packed up.
The moment the door opened, Yun Qingmo's figure appeared in front of him. The two smiled at each other and went to the study together.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Amo, if you are not here, will there be any problems with Qianyu Merchants?"
"will not."
The Qianyu Chamber of Commerce is already on the right track. It is impossible to say that nothing will happen, but with the people from the Scarlet Flame Temple here, they can handle it even if something happens.
What's more, if something happened, they would also pass on the message to him, and he just needed to reply in time.
"In that case, let's leave the city after breakfast." Shen Jingxuan said.
As Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, Ling Qiong and Ling Huan came to the study: "Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion is the same as before, and the Crown Prince's Mansion is also normal."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled and said: "If that's the case, then go find the person who spread the news, so that we can know whether it is related to them."
After Ling Qiong and Ling Huan left, Shen Jingxuan called Chun Tao and placed breakfast in the study.
Shen Jingxuan and Yun Qingmo were just about to have dinner when Li Luo and the third elder hurried into the study.
"Have you found out?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
The third elder said, "The Prime Minister went to the Crown Prince's Mansion yesterday. I don't know what Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan talked about. When Lu Zhong left, his face was extremely ugly."
Shen Jingxuan's eyebrows gradually frowned: "Why is your information different from Ling Qiong's? Ling Qiong said that they are normal."
If there was nothing unusual in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Jingxuan might believe it to some extent, but if there was nothing unusual in Xie Zihan, she would never believe it.
"There is indeed nothing unusual. They are all the same as before. Nothing noteworthy has happened."
After hearing what the two said, Shen Jingxuan quietly thought about the unusualness of the two mansions.
It seemed that the more things happened, the more she couldn't understand Xie Zihan.
He seemed to no longer be like he used to be, doing things without thinking and putting everything on the surface.
She didn't know when it started, but he seemed to have more and more secrets. Even though she knew Xie Zihan too well in the past, she couldn't understand him for a while.
The sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted the tranquility in the study. Shen Jingxuan frowned and looked at the person who came.
"Miss, Xie Zihan is here." Chuntao said quickly.
The people in the study looked at each other, wondering why Xie Zihan came this time.
Shen Jingxuan sneered, "I was still wondering what reason I could come up with to meet him, but he came to me on his own accord."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out. Yun Qingmo and the other two followed her and left the study together.
