Receiving no response from the master the reporting shadow guard can only wait in fear. Thinking he did some wrong when reporting he is sweating profusely.
Sitting on the chair Xie Jingshen looked up suddenly. Scaring the shadow guards.
The shadow guard who stood on the front almost fell on the floor. Thanks to his quick reflexes he was able to hold himself up.
Seeing this Xie Jingshen only raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What are reports on the auction?"
"Reporting to master. This subordinate was able get ahold of the servant boy who reported in to the lady's room. The lady held a token from the Qi family."
Xie Jingshen narrowed his eyes. To able to possess the token of Qi family. Must be an influential figure. However he couldn't remember anyone that influential in capital. Other than the emperor. But emperor will not involve himself on such matters.
Even in Jianghu the powerful families did not have such a talented young lady.
"Anything else?"
"This subordinate was unable to follow the men who took away the nine reflective mirror" when duke had ordered them to follow the men they lost them eventually.
Xie Jingshen wasn't surprised. It was within his expectation. He opened his eyes.
He said. "Give my order. From now on all spies within the capital must keep their eyes open for the news about the nine reflective mirror. And find this girl for me."
All the shadow guards knelt on the ground in one knee and accepted the order.
Xie Jingshen felt some kind of curiosity towards the mysterious woman, he cannot define the feeling. But he must that girl's identity no matter under what condition.
The leaves in the summer were green. Sun is shining brightly. But Xie Jingshen felt bored for no reason.
On the other side the person who caused the problem is lazing in the sun,
Listening to a girl playing qin she grabbed a bunch of grapes from the side she threw them in to her mouth indifferently. Without a mannerism a young princess should have.
Gu Meiya looked around herself and sighed. If she spent her entire life in the capital she can really laze around like this every day.
The reason at the first place why she came here is for father emperor's birthday in two days,
Although she should say she only prepared her gift only two days later, while others already had prepared it half year ago.
As she was lazing in the sun. Someone opened the door to the garden entered the inside of the court, it is a woman in her early twenties.
She is completely dressed in black. She kneeled in front of the sixth princess.
"Greetings my lady"
Gu Meiya glanced at her "enjoyed your trip to the Yongjin?"
Li Ya glanced at her in despair. "Milady you left me in Yongjin to take care of the matters there. How can this subordinate can slight one's work?" her master is always like this.
Gu Meiya smiled. "Asking me? I know you can finish the matter over there in short time. But I told you to stay few more days. To laze around. But you came this quickly?"
Li Ya bowed head even more she knew her master gave her order few more days to stay there in to enjoy her youth. Her master always told one's youth is always important.
Cannot slight it off. Otherwise one might regret for a life time.
