Jiang Ning sat on the stone bench, propped her arm on it, and rubbed her brows, “Gucheng, I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling restless these past few days.”

Gucheng silently watched her.

“You can sit down.” Jiang Ning lifted her chin, pointed at the stone bench opposite of her.

Gucheng quietly sat down.

“Are you hungry?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Not hungry.”

“Where do you usually sleep?” Jiang Ning suddenly became concerned about his daily life.

Gucheng, as usual, took a moment before answering, “In the room.”

“Where?”

“In the room.”

“…” Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that there was a room for him in the front yard of the East Palace. It was arranged by Li Hongyuan himself.

However, that was in the front yard, quite a distance from here.

How could he hear her voice from so far away, and then arrive in an instant?

Seeing Jiang Ning staring at him suspiciously, Gucheng said, “Just now, I happened to be on the roof tonight.”

“Why didn’t you sleep in the room tonight, and stayed on the roof instead?” Jiang Ning grew even more curious.

“To appreciate the moon.”

“… Hahaha.” Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect our Gucheng to have such a romantic side. I thought you were just a wooden-head who only knew how to practice martial arts.”

Gucheng didn’t say anything.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Jiang Ning said, “Gucheng, I can’t sleep either. How about you teach me martial arts?”

Gucheng shook his head.

Jiang Ning thought he was unwilling: “Didn’t you agree?”

“Your aptitude is too poor.”

“…” Jiang Ning could no longer maintain her smile, “Where do I look like I have poor aptitude? Everyone praises me for being smart!”

“Being smart and having aptitude for martial arts are two different things.” Gucheng was very direct.

“Can’t I practice to get stronger and healthier?” Jiang Ning tried to save face.

“It’s a waste of time,” Gucheng said.

“…”

“Miss,” Gucheng addressed her like this.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “What?”

“With me by your side, you don’t need to practice martial arts. It’s my duty to protect you.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“You can’t stay by my side all the time for the rest of your life,” Jiang Ning said.

“I should be able to.”

“What?” Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.

“Based on physical conditions, I should live longer than Miss.”

“…”

Seems the conversation couldn’t continue like this.

Jiang Ning stood up: “It’s a long night, and I can’t sleep. How about we do something interesting?”

Gucheng looked at her.

“I want to find out who in the palace was Denghua’s lover.” Jiang Ning jumped to a new topic, “Based on my guess, it should be an Imperial Guard. But since Denghua is already dead, I have to think about where to start my investigation.”

Jiang Ning frowned and subconsciously bit her nails.

“Residence.”

These two words suddenly floated into her ears.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Jiang Ning looked up at Gucheng: “What did you say?”

“Residence.” Gucheng repeated.

“You mean, check Denghua’s residence?”

Gucheng nodded.

“Right, we should start investigating from there. But…” Jiang Ning hesitated again, “Denghua is already dead, so I’m afraid the place she used to live might have been cleared already, right?”

Gucheng didn’t say anything.

Jiang Ning was already used to his silence most of the time. Without waiting for his answer, she mumbled to herself, “Back then, Denghua committed suicide by hitting a pillar. The Emperor gave her a posthumous title. Maybe her residence hasn’t been touched? Besides, the Splendid Palace has always been sealed, and no one dared to mess around since the Emperor often went there…”

She became more excited as she spoke, “Let’s go check it out now. We might find some clues!”
