Chapter 285 Mr. Zhao
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Princess, you are so polite. I do have some difficulties, but I dare not trouble you."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. We are all one family in this mansion."
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Actually, I've been worried about General Lin recently. He seems to be a little bit abnormal, but I don't dare to ask more."
Du Yunsheng's heart moved, and he said, "Can you tell me in detail what's wrong with General Lin?"
Xiao Liu whispered about some of Lin Yue's abnormal behavior, and Du Yunsheng had a clue in his mind.
After the banquet, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan immediately returned to the study and told Jiang Shaohan the information provided by Xiao Liu.
After hearing this, Jiang Shaohan was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that we need to conduct a more in-depth investigation into Lin Yue. I will arrange for someone to secretly monitor him."
Du Yunsheng nodded and said, "At the same time, we must protect Xiao Liu to prevent him from being retaliated by Lin Yue."
Jiang Shaohan said: "I will arrange for servants to protect him. Yun Sheng, you have worked hard."
Du Yunsheng shook his head gently and said, "For you, I am willing to do anything."
The night fell, like thick ink splashed. The red candles in the study swayed gently, and the flickering flames illuminated the faces of Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan. Their gazes became more determined and powerful, flashing with an unyielding light.
Jiang Shaohan slowly stood up and walked to the window. The deep night outside the window was like an endless ocean. He stared into the distance and said thoughtfully: "Yun Sheng, in this contest, the enemy we face is not just Lin Yue, but more likely a more powerful force lurking in the dark. We can't be careless at all."
Du Yunsheng also stood up and walked to Jiang Shaohan's side. Together they stared at the dark night. She whispered softly, "I understand, but as long as we walk hand in hand, no difficulties or obstacles will be a problem."
Jiang Shaohan turned around, looked at Du Yunsheng affectionately, held her hand tightly, and said firmly: "I swear that I will do my best to protect you and our common family."
The two returned to the desk, Jiang Shaohan picked up his pen and pondered, and began to write orders. Du Yunsheng was quietly sorting out intelligence materials, her eyes were focused and determined, as if she could penetrate the fog and see through everything.
In the morning of the next day, in the back garden of the general's mansion, birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and there was a sense of tranquility and harmony all around. Du Yunsheng, wearing a lavender flowing dress, walked lightly on the winding garden path, and several maids followed her like butterflies in spring.
"Princess, your face today seems to be soothed by the spring breeze, and it looks particularly bright." A maid smiled while covering her mouth.
Du Yunsheng raised his lips slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and replied: "Indeed, I feel a warmth in my heart because our common plan is progressing in an orderly manner."
Just as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Jiang Shaohan approaching from a distance. His steps were firm and calm, and his expression revealed an unquestionable seriousness. Du Yunsheng walked up against the wind and greeted him gently: "Shaohan, it's still early, why are you getting up?"
Jiang Shaohan fixed his eyes on Du Yunsheng, a gentle gleam in his eyes, and his tone was filled with concern: "I have some things to deal with, so I got up early. Yunsheng, did you rest well last night?"
Du Yunsheng smiled gently, like a flower blooming in spring: "I slept well, how about you?"
Jiang Shaohan responded gently: "I am also at peace. Yunsheng, why don't we go to the manor outside the city today? The scenery there is endless, and it is a perfect place to relax."
Du Yunsheng nodded his head, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "This is indeed a good suggestion. I also want to go there and breathe some fresh air."
In the quiet study, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng were discussing the next action plan intensively.
Jiang Shaohan said solemnly: "I have assigned my servants to closely monitor Lin Yue's every move, but we still need to collect more solid evidence. Yun Sheng, what do you think about this?"
Du Yunsheng frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "We can try to start with Lin Yue's confidants and find out if there are any loopholes that can be exploited."
Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded in response, "This is a great plan. I will send a capable secret guard to conduct an in-depth investigation and make sure to dig out the key clues."
Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with approval, and then his tone turned cautious: "However, this matter should not be rushed. Lin Yue is a man of extraordinary wisdom. If we act rashly, I am afraid we will be outwitted by him."
Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, his tone calm and firm: "Your Highness is right. We must plan carefully so that we can hit the target with one strike."
Just as the two were talking in secret, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. A black-clad secret guard pushed the door open, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a low but clear voice: "Prince, Princess, I have found out that Lin Yue has been in close contact with a mysterious person named Mr. Zhao recently."
Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly and said in a serious voice, "Mr. Zhao? What is this person's background?"
The secret guard replied: "Mr. Zhao's identity is complicated and confusing, but according to my observation, he seems to be in collusion with some dignitaries in the court. The specific details need further investigation."
Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suggested: "In this case, we might as well start with Mr. Zhao. Perhaps we can find Lin Yue's weakness from him."
Jiang Shaohan nodded and said to the secret guard: "You retreat and rest first, I will arrange this matter personally."
After the secret guards took orders and left, Jiang Shaohan turned to Du Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, how do you think we should act?"
Du Yunsheng thought for a moment and replied, "We can pretend to be unaware and get close to Mr. Zhao to find out his true identity and his collusion with Lin Yue."
Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with approval, and he agreed: "Okay, let's act according to this plan."
A few days later, in the garden of the General Zhengxi's mansion, Du Yunsheng, wearing a lavender dress, walked lightly among the flowers. She smiled and picked a flower from time to time and sniffed it gently.
At this moment, a young man in a green robe and a small hat suddenly appeared. He was Mr. Zhao's personal attendant. He looked at Du Yunsheng, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then politely asked, "Excuse me, is this beauty Du Yunsheng, the Crown Prince's Consort of the General Zhengxi Mansion?"
Du Yunsheng smiled and replied, "That's right. What do you want from me, sir?"
The attendant said, "My son wants to meet the Crown Prince's wife. Would the Crown Prince's wife honor him?"
Du Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and replied, "Since Master Zhao has requested me, I will obey your orders."
The attendant was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately led Du Yunsheng to Mr. Zhao's residence.
Mr. Zhao's residence was a quiet courtyard, planted with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance was overwhelming. Du Yunsheng stepped into the courtyard and saw a man in a purple robe standing with his hands behind his back, with a deep gaze and extraordinary temperament.
