Chapter 291
Your Highness, Qiaoyun from the palace has passed out a message”
The dark guard commander Lu Cai quietly entered the study and respectfully handed over a thin bamboo tube
Huang Taisun’s complexion moved slightly as he quickly took the bamboo tube
Ever since Qiaoyun had arrived at Ling Jingshu’s side, she would return with news every three days
Before entering the palace, the reports that came back were inconsequential and trivial
After entering the Pepper Room Palace, the news gathered from the inquiry was much more detailed and useful
Of course, these are not the most important reason
Under his command, I don’t know how many eyes and ears of the inner circle, the daily tip received not hundreds also have dozens
Lu Cai, the commander of the secret guards, would first go through them and select the most important ones to submit
Qiaoyun’s news, however, does not need Lv Cai to go through it, and is sent directly to him
It must be said that Qiaoyun was a clever person who was good at understanding his master’s mind
Every time a message was sent back, there would be one or two “unimportant” words mixed in
These one or two sentences were all about Ling Jingshu
She had lived cautiously in the palace
She and Empress Xu maneuvered with painstaking care
She was at odds with a group of female officials
She had been busy and hard at work for several months for the Flower Appreciation Banquet, growing dazzling and stunning new peonies
Every time he looked at these, her knitted brows and smile would come to his mind
It was as if he was a little closer to her
He clearly knew that this kind of behavior was abnormal and would only cause him to fall deeper and deeper, and he simply couldn’t get over Ling Jingshu
But he still can’t help himself
Huang Taisun gripped the bamboo tube, a self-deprecating bitter smile surfacing at the corner of his lips
Because of him, Ling Jingshu was trapped in the rumor mill
It wasn’t until a new scandal broke in Wei Jieshu’s palace that this wave of rumors subsided a bit
He had placed more than just Qiaoyun in the palace
How did the rumors in Wei Jieyu’s palace come about, would he not know about it?
This Wei Yan, with just this one move, compared him to him!
Lu Cai stood on the side, seeing the Imperial Sun frowning for a while, sighing softly for a while, gazing at the bamboo tube in silence for a while, couldn’t help but sigh secretly in his heart
Huang Taisun this kind of heavenly prince, even will also be trapped by love
Huang Taisun silent for a moment, finally dismantled the bamboo tube
Originally thought it was just the most unusual delivery of news
But after a careless glance, Huang Taisun’s complexion suddenly became grave, carefully reading the contents of the paper scroll several times
Then the paper scroll was lit up and burned with a fire refractorLu Cai!”
Huang Taisun said in a deep voice, “From today onwards, send extra manpower to keep an eye on Princess Changping, as well as Xu extra horse harnessed by the side of a team
Any movement must not be spared”
Lu Cai immediately answered
Huang Taisun thought for a moment and lowered his voice again, “Act carefully in the dark, and never alert the snakes so that Princess Changping will realize something”
Lu Cai solemnly answered, “Yes”
The door of the study was gently knocked a few times
Huang Taisun frowned slightly and raised his voice to ask, “Who is it?”
A clear and pleasant woman’s voice sounded outside the door, “Your Highness, it’s me”
It was Jiang Shuyue’s voice
Although Huang Taisun did not show his face, the look on his face calmed down quite a bit and ordered Lu Cai to open the door
The door opened and Jiang Shuyue, wearing a green dress, walked in smilingly
Familiar light green color, slender figure, and the beautiful person in his mind is quite similar
The Imperial Great-grandson was in a trance for a moment, and only came back to his senses when he saw Jiang Shuyue’s delicate and sweet smile, “Shuyue, why are you here?”
Jiang Shuyue did not miss the flash of trance in the bottom of Huang Tai Sun’s eyes, and her heart steeply ached
He must not have noticed that every time she deliberately wore a light green dress, his gaze at her was extraordinarily soft by a few points
And she, even to use such a method to attract her husband’s attention to curry his favor, also really sad and patheticYour Highness, I came to find you because I have an important matter to discuss with you”
Jiang Shuyue suppressed her chaotic thoughts and smiled as usual: “There are still a few days left, it’s Sister Su’s wedding day
Mother Concubine has already prepared a makeup gift
However, I thought that His Highness and Sister Su grew up together since childhood, are first cousins, and their love is different from others
Why don’t we prepare another makeup gift, which will also reflect your highness’s affection”
Su Ying’s marriage was finalized years ago
The other party is the first son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and is quite talented in the capital
It was also considered a good match
So it was for this matter
The great-grandson nodded approvingly: ”You have thought it through
According to your proposal, we will prepare another gift to send”
Jiang Shuyue saw that the Imperial Great-grandson spoke in favor, her heart was very happy
The two had been married for more than a month
Sweet love is in any case can not be said, at most it is respect for each other as guests
Obviously a couple who share the same bed, obviously should be the closest person in the world, the sad thing is that she has never been able to really get close to his heart
His occasional kindness and smile would make her happy for a long timeWhat does Your Highness think is a good gift to prepare?”
Jiang Solyue naturally approached the Imperial Grandson’s side and asked with a smile
The Imperial Great-grandson casually responded, “You watch and prepare!
I can trust your vision”
A short sentence was undoubtedly a great encouragement and comfort to Jiang Shuyue
Jiang Shuyue curved her lips and smiled extraordinarily sweetly, “Good, then I’ll take this job
In a couple of days, when Your Highness finds some free time, go with me to the Su Mansion!
After our wedding, we have only been to the Su Mansion once
To have me make a solo entrance, I’m really a bit intimidated in my heart!”
The Su family was Huang Taisun’s maternal grandfather’s family, and their feelings were naturally far superior to those of others
The Imperial Grandson hesitated briefly and then agreed
Jiang Shuyue’s heart was filled with joy
Going to send a gift is only one aspect, more importantly, she can take this opportunity to have half a day alone with him
After the marriage, she realized how busy the Imperial Grandson was
It wasn’t even easy to see him, let alone spend time alone
They were newlyweds!
Jiang Shuyue’s gaze fell on the bamboo cylinder on the table, and her heart couldn’t help but feel a pang of curiosity: ”Your Highness, what is this?
Is it used to deliver messages?”
The Imperial Great-grandson frowned and gave a faint hmmm
Jiang Shuyue didn’t notice the Emperor Taisun’s abrupt coldness, and pursued with interest, “Why are there still some burnt paper ashes here?
What kind of important news is it that you have to burn after reading it?”
Huang Taisun’s voice was cold: “This is confidential, so don’t ask more questions”
Icy cold tone, like a basin of cold water, doused all the enthusiasm of Jiang Shu Yue
Jiang Solyue’s smile stiffened and she apologized with some embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I won’t ask more questions in the future”
Then she added in a low voice, “I’ll leave Your Highness alone, I’ll take my leave first”
After saying that, she turned around and left in a hasty and despondent manner
