Chapter 438…
Xia Mo didn't want to make a wasted trip, so he pulled Ling Chuan into the space again.
When the situation changed, Lingchuan knew that the young man had something to say to him.
"Brother Chuan, let's go to another place."
Ling Chuan lowered his eyes, "Change place?"
"Yes, while they are all here, we can go to his study or Xie Yu's residence."
Xie Yu is the doctor responsible for treating Yu Shuche, and no one knows Yu Shuche's condition better than him.
All in all, both places are good places for them to listen to confidential information.
"So should we go and try? Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get something."
Ling Chuan made a prompt decision: "Let's go to the study."
So the two of them quickly left the space and walked carefully while avoiding the palace guards.
But the palace guards were not incompetent and they were almost discovered several times when they approached the study.
The most thrilling incident was when Xia Mo accidentally knocked over a potted plant on the wooden porch at the corner when he was climbing over the wall, and the noise was heard by the night patrol guard.
"Who!" a warning shout.
They quickly approached the dark corner, but found no one, only broken potted plants on the ground.
"It was probably not placed properly and was blown down by the wind."
Then, there was a rustling sound of footsteps, and it seemed that someone was leaving.
"It's such a close call."
In the space, Xia Mo was sweating a little.
Ling Chuan looked at him, a faint smile in his narrow eyes.
"scared?"
"too suddenly."
Xia Mo pricked up his ears and listened again, then looked at Ling Chuan.
"There's no movement outside, should we go out?"
Ling Chuan said: "Wait a moment."
Although the footsteps have disappeared, there is no need to rush for now just to be on the safe side.
Xia Mo listened to him and waited for a while before going out.
Afterwards, the two of them perfectly avoided the palace guards and successfully sneaked into Qiao Ruicheng's study.
The furnishings in the study are extremely simple, with only a few bookshelves and paintings as decorations. The desk and the beauty couch for nap are separated by a folding screen.
The two of them took a rough look around, didn't look around randomly, found a corner that blocked their view, and entered the space.
After entering, Xia Mo wrote down the time so as not to forget it while staying inside.
The day after tomorrow is their wedding day. He and Brother Chuan must rush back before tomorrow night to make the final decision on whether or not to allow Hua Chaoxue to take action on that day.
They waited and waited, until they started to suspect that they had chosen the wrong place and were considering whether to change places, when they finally heard the sound of a door being pushed open.
Xia Mo's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
He grabbed Ling Chuan and said excitedly: "Here they come, someone's coming in!"
"Yeah." Ling Chuan replied softly, indicating that he heard it.
After a while, a voice came from above: "What's going on?"
It was a male voice with a deep and deep voice. It sounded cold, but also revealed fatigue.
The wait was finally over. Ling Chuan's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the serious-looking boy and said, "It's Qiao Ruicheng."
After confirming the identity of the owner of the voice, Xia Mo smiled, with joy on his face.
Afraid that his voice would be too loud and he would miss what was going on outside, he whispered, "Let's listen first."
Ling Chuan nodded and said nothing more.
Outside the space, Yingyi knelt on one knee.
"It was because of my subordinates' incompetence that he died because he couldn't bear the pain of eating."
"died?"
Qiao Ruicheng was obviously dissatisfied with the result, his handsome face was colder than the frost in December.
His Ache was tortured beyond recognition, why did he die so quickly!
Low pressure was spreading, and Yingyi lowered his head even lower.
The room was quiet for a while, and Xia Mo was very upset because he couldn't hear any further news for a long time.
"Why don't you say anything? Who died?"
Just by hearing one or two sentences, Ling Chuan couldn't guess who died.
Outside, Qiao Ruicheng spoke again.
"Cut off his head and keep it. The rest is useless. Feed it to the dogs."
Ying Yi responded, "Yes."
Xia Mo thought to himself how miserable it was that after death his body was cut into pieces and fed to dogs. This man must have a grudge against Qiao Ruicheng, and it was a big one.
"What has my eldest nephew done recently?" Qiao Ruicheng asked Yingyi.
Ying Yi replied respectfully, "It's the same as what the master thought. He thought that the Third Prince had plotted against him, so he has been looking for something to hold against the Third Prince. However, he was under house arrest, so it was Prince Qiao who was the one running around."
"Is that so... You go and expose the fact that he deliberately concealed his gender. As for my fake nephew, the most I'm afraid of is that someone will peel off his fake skin."
Hearing this, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Xia Mo opened his mouth, but because the conversation outside was still going on, he suppressed the urge to speak.
"Master, do you want to expose both things at the same time? Wouldn't that be helping the Crown Prince?"
Yingyi seemed unable to understand his master's actions.
"Help him? Ha."
Qiao Ruicheng sneered.
"My wedding to Ah Che will naturally be a grand one. You should first take care of Qiao Wenjin's affairs. The more grand the better. As for the other one, just let a little secret out. Don't be too deliberate."
"Yes."
"Go."
Then, there was silence.
Xia Mo was shocked, and the thought of "wow" was already flooding his mind.
Yingying's guess was absolutely correct. The person who deliberately stirred up this mess was indeed Qiao Ruicheng.
"Brother Chuan, did he know so much in his previous life? Do you think he knew that the eldest prince was colluding with the Cangwu Kingdom?"
Ling Chuan recalled the details of his previous life's dream and shook his head.
"Many things are different now. I can't be sure about the Third Prince, but in the previous life, Qiao Wenjin was a man and the fact that the First Prince was in collusion with Cangwu was revealed later."
For a moment, the two were unable to confirm whether Qiao Ruicheng knew about the conspiracy between the Cangxuan countries.
But overall, the situation is currently in their favor.
Because Qiao Ruicheng has already taken action against the eldest prince, if Hua Chaoxue is sent to negotiate with him, the elimination plan will be more effective if Yu Shuche can be cured.
If the opposite is true, hey...
Xia Mo said: "Now the only thing left is Yu Shuche's physical condition."
This is a crucial link, success or failure depends on it.
Ling Chuan understood, "Wait until he leaves, and then take a look before daybreak."
Xia Mo was thinking this, so he looked up and said, "Okay."
So they waited in the space for Qiao Ruicheng to leave.
Qiao Ruicheng sat quietly for a long time, and left immediately after suppressing the violence in his heart.
Xie Yu said that his Ah Che didn't have much time left, so he wanted to spend more time with him...
Suddenly hearing footsteps, Xia Mo immediately sat up and listened carefully until the door closed and then he said to Ling Chuan, "Does it sound like he's leaving?"
"Yes, I left."
"Then let's act quickly."
Ling Chuan had no objection.
After leaving the space, they first went to look for Xie Yu's residence, but unfortunately they found nothing and didn't see anyone, so they sneaked into Yu Shuche's yard again.
The lights were not as bright anymore and it was quiet, with only the rustling of wind in the treetops.
However, as soon as their toes touched the ground, Qiao Ruicheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Shadow One!"
Xia Mo was startled. In front of him, several figures suddenly rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.
"Squeak", the door behind him opened, and Qiao Ruicheng and Xie Yu walked out with gloomy faces.
Could it be that they have been exposed long ago?
Xia Mo frowned and thought.
