792 Brother-inw (5)


    Not to mention people like him and Ji Yushu who lived like princes.


    When Ji Yushu returned to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop, he first asked Hong Ling to run a bath for him. After taking a nice bath and eating some snacks, he returned to the study. As soon as he entered, he was greeted with the thick dust. Ji Yushu’s study was not allowed to servants because there were many secrets. Therefore, no one came in to clean these days. Ji Yushu originally wanted Hong Ling to clean it for him, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up. He picked up the broom and started cleaning.


    After cleaning it, Ji Yushu sat down at the desk and saw that there was already a thick stack of letters on the table. He started to read them. When he reached thest letter, Ji Yushu was already a little sleepy. However, as he read, his sleepiness was swept away, and his expression gradually became serious.A


    Pei Lang was actually locked up by Fu Xiuyi? Had Pei Lang’s identity been exposed?


    Oh my god! Did anyone know that such a serious matter had happened? Did anyone go to save him?


    It was Ji Yushu’s own idea to monitor Pei Lang. He was just curious why Shen Miao wanted Pei Lang to be a spy by Fu Xiuyi’s side. Even if Pei Lang was talented, being a spy required a lot of loyalty. Fu Xiuyi was so good at managing people. Wasn’t Shen Miao worried that Pei Lang would betray her? More importantly, Shen Miao’s rtionship with Pei Lang before that was just ordinary. Why was she willing to take the risk?


    Just as Ji Yushu was about to get up to hand the letter to Xie Jingxing, he stopped.


    “Will Third Brother Xie lock me up again,” Ji Yushu muttered to himself.


    The reason why Xie Jingxing locked Ji Yushu and Gao Yang up was because that day, the empress summoned Shen Miao to the pce to test her. The two of them ignored this matter and did not report it to Xie Jingxing. Later, Xie Jingxing threw the two of them into the tower prison.


    “Third Brother Xie values Miss Shen a lot. This Pei Lang seems to be interested in Miss Shen too. He even said that he wants to marry Miss Shen, so Pei Lang is Third Brother Xie’s love rival. Since he’s a love rival, if I tell Third Brother now, will he beat me up? Why would Third Brother want to save his love rival?” Pei Lang muttered to himself, “Just like how I don’t like Miss Shaoyao always smiling at the young master of the prime minister. Later, the young master of the prime minister fell from the horse and was injured. I was very happy.” Taking himself as an example, Ji Yushu came to a conclusion. “It’s better not to tell Third Brother about this now. Since there’s no new news, he must still be alive. Let him stay there for a few more days!”


    Ji Yushu thought that he had done very well, but little did he know what kind of changes his actions would bring to the future.


    …


    As themanders of the capital garrison, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had been very busy these days. Huangfu Hao was dead, but there were a lot of problems left unsolved. If they killed Huangfu Hao’s guards, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the emperor of the State of Qin, but if they didn’t kill them, those guards would mor to seek justice for their master, spreading the rumor that the crown prince was a murderer in the marketce.


    They couldn’t kill the guards, so they could only lock them up. However, the guards were all personally chosen by the emperor of the State of Qin to protect Huangfu Hao, so they weren’t ordinary people. It was not impossible for them to break the prison. In order to avoid chaos, the city defense army had doubled and was patrolling the capital at all times, especially afraid that Huangfu Hao’s guards would hurt innocent people to vent their anger.


    By the time they were done with today’s matters, it was almost evening. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling walked side by side on the street. Originally, at the end of the year, the streets of the capital were supposed to be the busiest. However, because of Huangfu Hao’s death, the people were reminded by the city guards to close the shop early and go home. Before night fell, there were already very few people on the street.
