章 209: Chapter 197: Shen Residence (Nine More Updates)

Shortly after, Ziye brought the food, placing it one by one on the table, Zhou Gu picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. Ziye, standing by, whispered, "The Grand Princess sent someone to ask three times, and the Duchess herself came once. She stood in the courtyard for a while, looking at the grape trellis, then she told me to have the kitchen keep your food warm before she left."

Zhou Gu simply answered, "Hmm."

Ziye fell silent.

Zhou Gu put down his chopsticks after only eating a bit, then turned to Ziye and asked, "How is the investigation into the assassination of Princess Qingping going?"

Ziye hurriedly replied, "Sir Lee, the Prefect of Jingzhao, by royal order, is leading a house-to-house search. The men from Dali Temple are cooperating fully; many residences have been searched. If the culprit is not caught by tomorrow, I'm afraid our Duke Residence will be searched as well."
