The Empress Dowager?
Gu Jiao did not tell Eunuch He about Mo Qianxue’s matter, and Eunuch He did not deliberately inquire. In his view, the twice-mentioned “Sister Qianxue” was just a courtesan. Even if she took care of errands for the brothel’s owner, it was not strange.
What he found strange was the movements of the Dragon Shadow Guard.
“When did the Dragon Shadow Guard appear at the Xianle Inn? Why did they go to the borderlands? How long have they been gone?”
After leaving the Xianle Inn, he rapidly fired off a series of soul-searching questions.
Gu Jiao relayed the information she had interrogated from Hua Xiyao: “It happened over two months ago, just a one-time appearance, and they haven’t been back since. The reason they went to the borderlands is unknown to Hua Xiyao.”
Hua Xiyao was the second-in-command at Xianle Inn, and her access to information was limited.
“What were they doing at the Xianle Inn?” Eunuch He asked again.
Gu Jiao shook her head: “I don’t know, Hua Xiyao only saw them coming and going here and discovered they had a map to the borderlands on them, but she had no chance to speak with them.”
Eunuch He nodded his head.
Having found out this much was already beyond his expectations and he had nothing to be dissatisfied with. It was this girl, instead…
He looked at Gu Jiao with a complex expression: “Is it really good for a young lady like you to frequent such places of ill repute?”
Gu Jiao gave him a mocking stare: “It’s not me who frequents these places of ill repute. Would you be able to get in tonight if it weren’t for me?”
Eunuch He was successfully choked by the retort!
Having harvested the leeks, Gu Jiao satisfactorily boarded her carriage with her silver notes and IOUs in hand.
Eunuch He, on the other hand, returned to the palace to report back to the Emperor.
The Emperor was in the Study Room reviewing memorials. Hearing Eunuch He’s report, he snapped the memorial shut and looked at Eunuch He with tightly furrowed brows: “What did you say? The Dragon Shadow Guard went to the borderlands?”
