I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

381 Confusion

“In that case, it’s indeed worth asking.” After hearing Lu Ze’s words, Pei Qian put down the teapot in his hand and walked to Su Qi’s side as he said to him, “Let me do it. I can help your master.”

… .

Time flew by.

Not long after Lin Suisui returned home, Lu Ze returned from the Imperial City government office. As usual, she habitually wanted to go forward and take his cloak, but Lu Ze took a step back and avoided her. “I’ll go wash up first. I’m a little dirty.”

It was the smell of blood.

Lu Ze quickly turned around and walked towards the inner room. Lin Suisui followed behind him. As she helped him get a change of clothes, she looked around to see if there was anything else that needed her help.

With Lin Sui’s help, Lu Ze washed up quickly. Not long after, he came out of the bathroom with wet hair.

“I’ll help you dry your hair. Although the weather is warmer now, if you don’t dry your wet hair quickly, you’ll still get a headache from the wind.”

Lin Suisui came forward with a towel that she had prepared long ago and helped Lu Ze dry his hair.

As his hair was being dried, Lu Ze told her the good news he had just received. “Those two confessed not long after.

You were right. They were indeed after you.

The reason is that you’ve been reading a book that records many shaman techniques.”

Not only did Lin Suisui not expect this, but even Lu Ze was surprised.

This booklet that Lin Suisui had previously obtained was from the shadow guard of the shaman priest. Originally, it was to make it easier for him to study those shaman techniques, but unexpectedly, the person who had always completed missions easily encountered a huge obstacle when entering the border this time.

Actually, the shaman didn’t care if the shadow guard lived or died, but the booklet in his hand was too important!

Many of the prescriptions recorded inside were unique.

The shaman naturally couldn’t let such an important thing fall into someone else’s hands and would definitely think of a way to snatch it back. Therefore, after confirming the whereabouts of the book, the shaman sent these two people over to investigate.

To the shaman’s surprise, her flawless plan was ruined at the beginning due to a trivial detail.

“The order they received was to gain your trust at all costs and think of a way to get the book back.”

As Lu Ze looked at Lin Sui, he sighed softly and continued, “But I don’t think it’s that simple, so I’ll leave the rest to Pei Qian.

After all, he’s the best at extracting information from spies.”

Lin Suisui froze for a moment before she couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she asked, “By the way, do you remember anything else?”

“What?” Lu Ze was curious.

“It’s that troupe that’s good at Gu techniques. Two of their members were captured by us and are still imprisoned in the dungeon underground. Later on, we didn’t hear of the whereabouts of this troupe anymore.

Originally, I thought that this troupe had sensed that something was wrong and escaped in advance. I didn’t expect to see news of this troupe at the Cold Food Festival.”

When Lin Suisui thought of the booklet that the county governor’s wife had just sent, she told Lu Ze, “I asked the county governor’s wife that since this dance troupe only participates in weddings and birthday banquets, why were they invited to the Cold Food Festival sacrificial ceremony?

The county governor’s wife told me that she didn’t arrange this troupe. Instead, General Gao’s wife personally brought a letter over to invite the dance troupe.

She said that this troupe’s program wasn’t bad and there would be some programs arranged for the Cold Food Festival sacrificial ceremony every year.

The county governor’s wife was very smarmy and was in a precarious position. Therefore, even if the general who stabilizes the north seemed to be on the decline, she wouldn’t offend them openly.

Therefore, the county governor’s wife agreed to add this troupe.”

“No wonder. Later on, I arranged for someone to search the troupe’s base, but when I went over, it was already empty.” Lu Ze nodded in realization. “Later on, we searched the entire city carefully, but we couldn’t find any news of them.

I was wondering if these people really had the ability to fly, since they disappeared right under my watch. Turns out they hid in the General’s residence.”

Lin Sui’s story relieved Lu Ze’s doubts.

However, it was also because of this that he thought of another more important thing. “By the way, since they’re good at Gu techniques and went to the general’s residence, could the poison in Gao Xuwei’s body…”

“That’s impossible.” Lin Suisui denied Lu Ze’s guess very confidently. “I used poison on Gao Xuwei, not Gu.”

“However, there’s something strange. I’ve arranged for people to keep an eye on the general’s residence, so if this troupe has really been hiding in the general’s residence during this period of time, how could they have avoided my watch?”

After Lu Ze figured out the entire story and received an affirmative answer from Lin Sui, he thought of another even more inexplicable problem.

“Is there a secret passage to the outside world in the general’s residence?” Lin Suisui frowned as she thought carefully. “Another possibility is that they might not have entered the general’s residence but chose another place to hide for the time being.

They can only rely on Madam Pei and General Gao to go out and discuss things.”

“You’re right.” It would have been better if Lin Suisui had not said anything. As soon as she said that, Lu Ze really remembered the report sent by the shadow guards who had been watching the General’s residence. “They said that recently, Madam Pei often went to the White Cloud Temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings. She said that General Gao had not been feeling well recently, so she was very worried and wanted to pray for him to obtain the blessing of the gods.

From the looks of it, it was probably a lie and she was thinking of ways to cause trouble!

That’s right. The Fourth Prince is in Cloud Mountain City now, so it’s quite possible that she wants to use this troupe to cause trouble at the Cold Food Festival sacrificial ceremony.”
