This was the time for Feng Jueran to make arrangements. She would not let these variables join in and ruin his affairs.
Besides, she didn't believe in these secret guards. If they could always guard her mother, why would her mother die early? Or they would explain that there was no order from her mother, but if everyone died, What else are you protecting, and they all know that it was Aunt Fang who killed their mother.
But no one reached out to kill Aunt Fang. Only after she, a gentle woman who knew nothing, rose up, did she reappear as a secret guard. Speaking of such a secret guard, Mo Xuetong did not feel that she believed it. How loyal they are, so she will never let these people ruin Feng Jue Miaoqi.
When Mo Xuetong pointed out that those people were in the escort agency, Shopkeeper Xing was stunned for a moment and took two steps back. He didn't dare to look down on Mo Xuetong anymore, and his expression became more and more respectful.
"That's fine. If the princess needs us, she still needs to..." Shopkeeper Xing hesitated for a moment, looked at Mo Xuetong and was speechless for a moment.
"Do you need any other tokens?" Looking at Shopkeeper Xing's troubled look, Mo Xuetong understood after a moment's thought that as a secret guard, in order to ensure safety, he has always followed orders but not people. But she I never thought that my mother would leave a token, so she frowned.
"It's a jade token. The third princess must have passed it on to the princess. Princess, think about it carefully." Shopkeeper Xing's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and replied respectfully.
A jade token? Suddenly, Mo Xuetong thought of the pot of jade flowers and the jade plaque that her second uncle showed her, and asked her if she also had one in her hand. Could it be that one? This idea just came up, but was rejected by Mo Xuetong. Her mother couldn't leave the front door, didn't step out the second door, and didn't even contact her own secret guards. Naturally, she couldn't have any contact with the pot of jade owl flowers.
The potted flower came from a strange place, implying murderous intent. In the last life, the Duke of Fuguo's palace fell because of this potted flower. Although there was some secret frame-up by Sima Lingyun and other people's schemes, no matter what, this jade owl flower was the cause, and there was no fate. How he could appear in the Duke Fu's mansion without any reason is already suspicious.
"My mother used to send people to embroider Ningzhai just to meet with your people?" Mo Xuetong nodded, as if he just remembered it casually, and asked, thinking of He Xia's words, the man he saw, the clothes he saw in court. , these people are all old ministers of the King of Jin, so it is normal for them to have court clothes.
"Yes, although my subordinates have a legitimate job in the escort agency, they are only able to maintain enough. Some necessary items need to be withdrawn privately by the third princess." Shopkeeper Xing said about his difficulties.
Although Shopkeeper Xing didn't say anything about the objects, Mo Xuetong still knew that he was talking about swords and the like. Although there were many weapons, there were not many that were truly sharp. If there were really sharp weapons, the price would not be low. Escort Agency There may be some benefits, but it cannot equip each of these more than a hundred people with excellent weapons.
And in order to ensure the loyalty of the secret guards, spending money is also necessary.
Seeing Mo Xuetong's silence, shopkeeper Xing thought she was complaining that they spent too much money, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Although my subordinates will spend some money, it's not much different in general. I'll use Xiu Ningzhai to make up for it." That’s right, that’s what the third princess did that day.”
"Then let's keep it the same!" Mo Xuetong said calmly. She has been checking Ning Zhai for a while, and she always felt that the accounts were done too flawlessly, and every stroke was clear, but she always felt that there was something wrong with it. No, I understand now, no wonder those purchase prices were not low. Obviously products of the same period could not have such high prices. Xiu Ningzhai spent more than what was sold in the market.
It turned out that during this time, the money quietly flowed from Xiu Ningzhai to the Escort Bureau.
As long as my mother doesn't say anything about my mother's shop, it doesn't look like anything on the surface. At most, people think that the shopkeeper is too lenient in purchasing goods and the prices are a bit high.
"Then listen to the princess and follow the old rules of the third princess." Shopkeeper Xing agreed with a smile.
While the two were talking, the woman rushed in. Before she had time to say anything to Mo Xuetong, she whispered something in Shopkeeper Xing's ear. Shopkeeper Xing's expression suddenly changed and she glanced at Mo Xue in surprise. Hitomi, suddenly pulled the woman next to him and knelt down together.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's people are here, please come over."
How could he not panic? The existence of these secret guards was left as loyal subordinates to the King of Jin. They had a sworn enemy with the current Emperor Zongwen. They were hiding in the dark, maybe they wanted to protect him. If he wins his old master and makes a comeback, if he is known to the royal family, he will be eliminated quickly.
Who is Feng Juoran? He is the favorite son of Emperor Zongwen today. If he knew that there are still people like them, how can he survive? The two forces can be regarded as enemies and meet each other on a narrow road. It is a pity that the Jin Palace is now The power is shady and the manpower is thin. There is no other way but to perish.
"Where is this place?" Mo Xuetong didn't seem to sense Shopkeeper Xing's panic. She raised her eyes calmly and looked at the surrounding scene. From the corner of her eyes, Shopkeeper Xing's pale face appeared, and the corners of her lips tightened slightly. , asked calmly.
"This is the Escort Bureau. It is a stronghold left by Prince Jin to protect the three princesses. If Prince Xuan discovers this place, the subordinates will have no place to stay." Shopkeeper Xing said anxiously. Prince Jin was in ruins because they were like this This group of people can only survive if they never appear in front of others. If they are really discovered, even if there are many good players, three punches will be difficult for them to defeat four, and they will still end up in defeat.
At this time, he also regretted a little, why he listened to that person's words, kidnapped the princess, and also summoned the overlord who was not afraid of anything.
That person's reputation is not just lawless.
"Is it close to Xiuningzhai from here?" Mo Xuetong pondered for a moment and asked.
It's not that she's worried about what Feng Juoran knows. With his hidden strength, Mo Xuetong believes that it's not a problem for him to find her. What she's worried about now is the loyalty of these people. What happened today seems weird no matter how you look at it. He wants to find her old master. There is no need to resort to hijacking when handing over your trump card, lest it make a big deal out of the matter.
Besides, after more than thirty years of guarding, all the secret guards back then have dispersed among the people. Will they still be as loyal as before? Remember that in the previous life, when she died tragically at Zhenguo Hou Mansion, those people were motionless, as if there had never been such a group of people who had the responsibility to protect themselves.
If they were really loyal, they would only need to send a few people to protect her, and she would not be in such a miserable situation. This shows that there must be something wrong with this group of people. She cannot trust them unsuspectingly. A lifetime of experience tells her that danger often comes from around her.

Believing too much will only put yourself in danger. In this rebirth, there are many things that she can see much more clearly than in the previous life.
For the sake of the future, it is not appropriate to break up at this time.
Mo Xuetong really had no affection for His Highness the Prince of Jin, who was related to his maternal grandfather by blood. How could someone who could snatch the throne be so soft-hearted
Even such a gentle mother can plot against her own daughter, and she can make Grandma Ming swear on her and make such a vicious oath, just to keep herself from understanding everything.
It really saddened her - her heart was cold.
But no matter what, she still loves her mother. Whether it is the previous life or this life, her mother's love is the source of support for her to go on, or this does not include unconditional trust in the group of secret guards around her mother. .
"It's very close. Go through the back door and go around two turns." Shopkeeper Xing also understood what Mo Xuetong meant. He stood up hurriedly and led Mo Xuetong out of the house. He went down a hidden staircase and hurriedly turned around. Go through the door and go to the narrow road. On the other side is Mo Xuetong's Xiu Ningzhai.
When they reached the entrance of the lane, Mo Xuetong looked back.
Choosing such a location shows that Prince Jin's Mansion also took ten thousand steps back at that time. The once prosperous Jin Prince's Mansion now only has a broken wall and dead branches. Except for their own relatives, who can remember the once glorious palace? King Jin, just as time goes by, how many people are still as loyal as they were thirty years ago!
Feng Juoran was sitting in the small living room where Shopkeeper Xing usually received guests. Feng Yue was the only one standing there with his head bowed at the door. When Mo Xuetong came over, his eyes lit up, he stood up straight and whispered respectfully to Mo Xuetong. Said: "Princess, the prince has been in there for a while, and just now he smashed the tea cup."
After saying that, he pointed to the teacup that was broken into several pieces and was thrown at the door, which meant that the person inside was very angry.
"Shopkeeper Xing, go check out that batch of goods first. I'll be fine as long as the prince is here. I'll ask him to bring a few more pots of tea and some special snacks from the restaurant opposite." Mo Xuetong ordered.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Xing responded and stepped back to let others prepare.
She pushed the door open, and before she could see what was inside, she was hugged fiercely. The familiar sound made her body relax involuntarily, and the door was kicked hard behind her, making a heavy sound.
Feng Yue stood outside and couldn't help but shrink his neck in fear from the huge impact. He touched his sweaty forehead and felt that he was alive again. This man was really angry just now!
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Feng Juoran's narrow phoenix eyes looked at Mo Xuetong from head to toe. When he saw her calm expression, her tense face relaxed, and her eyes were shining. There was a flash of light, and he dared to touch his woman. Those people really thought that there was no hope for him if he broke his leg.
"Why did you come out? Aren't your legs still 'injured'?" Mo Xuetong pushed him away, pulled him to sit on a chair aside, and asked with a soft smile. He Fengjue really escaped from the confrontation. If anyone found out that his leg injury was fine at this time, his plan would fail.
"Things have happened to Tong'er. How can I keep pretending? Humph, those people are really too busy these days." Feng Juoran snorted coldly, with a cold smile on his lips, his face as handsome as jade. In an instant, the dandy exaggeration was gone, and there was more bloodthirsty evil charm!
Yuan wanted to slow down a little, but it seemed that some people didn't want to wait for him to slow down.
"What would you do if I hid something from you?" Mo Xuetong asked, blinking her lively eyes carefully.
The standing body was pulled down heavily and fell into his warm embrace. Because he was hugging her in front of her, she couldn't see the face behind her. She could only hear a cold snort, which clearly meant displeasure. At that moment She grabbed his sleeve with her backhand and said urgently: "I really didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to say it." (To be continued)
