The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Princess Ji Ling has always been low-key and has a very low presence in front of people. To outsiders, she is like a harmless little white rabbit that poses no threat to anyone. Similarly, to outsiders, she does not have any outstanding characteristics or strengths, which is not enough to make people wary of her.

Therefore, no one knew that Princess Ji Ling had a secret trump card in her hand, which was a small team of secret guards left for her by her father and mother to protect her life.

Princess Ji Ling had been living a peaceful life some time ago, but one day she received a message from the secret guards. It was at that time that she was surprised to learn that someone was secretly investigating her.

The man's investigation was carried out in secret, and even her secret guards realized it only belatedly - an unknown person was investigating the princess.

Fortunately, Princess Ji Ling had a good connection with the Dark Guard. She ordered the Dark Guard to intercept the man and investigate her personal information, and to find out who the man was.

During the operation of the secret guard, Princess Ji Ling also suspected whether there were other members of the royal family watching her, for example, was Princess Gao Yang dissatisfied with her and wanted to keep an eye on her?

However, she quickly rejected this speculation. Because Gao Yang knew her basic information best, there was no need to investigate her basic situation and some well-known past events.

Princess Ji Ling quickly rejected the speculation that Gao Yang and other royal family members had ill intentions towards her, and thus came to another more narrow speculation.

The person who wanted to investigate her was not someone close to her, but someone who didn't know much about her...

But who exactly meets this restriction?

There are so many options to choose from.

Princess Ji Ling was an insignificant figure even among the royal families of various countries. Not to mention that in the entire territory of Zhongyue, and even in the entire Xingyue Continent, there would be countless people who had never known or understood her existence!

Princess Ji Ling was worried and asked the secret guards to investigate who the hidden person was.

Today, a secret guard came to make a regular report. Princess Ji Ling could no longer sit still, so she did not wait for the secret guard to report, but took the initiative to inquire about the situation.

At this moment, the secret guard paused for a long time and did not dare to raise his head.

Princess Ji Ling raised her eyes slightly and said very seriously: "It doesn't matter whether it is clear or not. What I want now is an answer."

"Princess, I have not found out the identity of that person."

The secret guard made up his mind and added, "The actions and whereabouts of that group of people are too secretive. That time, our subordinates discovered that they were investigating the princess, and we immediately tracked them down."

"But the other party seems to have a great background, and they did a very good job of counter-reconnaissance. Although they didn't know that it was the princess's people who intercepted them to investigate the princess, they also vaguely realized that someone might be trying to stop them. After that, they disappeared for a long time, and no obvious information about their whereabouts was leaked. Now, I am still tracking them down with my men."

Princess Ji Ling lowered her eyes and waved to the secret guards: "It's okay, just do your best."

A little worried, he reminded me again: "Your safety is the most important thing. Be careful and cautious in everything you do. Don't hurt yourself."

Your life safety is the most important thing.

Princess Ji Ling wanted to investigate the origins of the unknown person, but she wanted to protect the people her parents left behind. If possible, she would rather put the safety of these old confidants first. After all, her father and mother could only leave her with such a small group of people.

When the secret guard heard the princess' caring words, he was stunned, and a gleam of light appeared in his cold eyes.

He nodded immediately, and said with some emotion: "Please rest assured, Princess, we will be safe!"

They also have to complete the tasks entrusted by the prince and princess, and protect and take good care of Princess Ji Ling's life in this life!

Princess Ji Ling smiled slightly and emphasized again: "During the investigation, your safety is the most important thing."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "For so long, I haven't seen them do anything bad to me. Maybe they have no ill will towards me personally, they just want to find out some information about me. So you don't have to worry too much, just investigate slowly."

It's not that she wasn't curious about the origins of those people, but since she couldn't find the people who were prepared, she could only adjust her mindset. After all, it was the people from the Princess Mansion who were slowly tracking them down. There would always be someone who would reveal the truth.

When she first discovered someone was checking her personal information, she had already sent someone to intercept them. However, the group of people could only find some superficial information and had no idea about her special past...

At the same time, what Princess Ji Ling didn't know was that because of the sudden arrival of his eldest brother, the Third Master Ling of the Northern Realm had to speed up some of his secret actions in the capital, including investigating the past actions of the Tenth Princess of Zhongyue, that is, Princess Ji Ling.

What the Third Young Master Ling didn't know was that he had thought that Princess Ji Ling didn't have much of a personal past - simply because the princess herself was low-key and silent, but he didn't know that it was Princess Ji Ling - a secret guard team that interrupted the in-depth investigation of these people from the Northern Realm.

After the secret guards left, Princess Ji Ling stood up, walked to the gate, leaned against the vermilion door panel with one hand, and looked at the scenery in the courtyard with a pair of watery eyes.

The treetops were green, the flowers were colorful, but her heart was also a little confused.

Xiao Tao looked at the princess and couldn't help asking, "Princess, are you thinking about leaving the palace that day?"

A few days ago, Princess Ji Ling went out of the house to meet some good sisters. She also walked to the street with Yun Mujiu, secretly looking at the face of the eldest son of the Northern Realm to see if he was the Young Master Mu she was looking for.

But in Ji Ling's opinion, the figure and steps of Young Master Ling were not like the person in her mind, only the eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar. But the world is so big and there are so many living beings, it is inevitable that some people who are not related by blood will look similar. Moreover, if we only talk about the similarity of eyebrows and eyes, then there are more people... who have similarities in eyebrows and eyes.

Princess Ji Ling was unwilling to let Yun Mujiu drag her to observe Ling Chiye's face closely, so she turned around and left quickly.

At this time, Princess Ji Ling's recollection was interrupted by Xiao Tao's questioning.

She tilted her head, quietly met Xiaotao's worried gaze, and nodded.

"I'm still thinking about the day when I met Mu Jiu and the others, especially when Mu Jiu took me to hide on the street in front of the Herb Hall, and we looked at the appearance of the Third Brother and Young Master Ling together..."

After she finished speaking, her eyes sank slightly, and she said with some uncertainty: "But I don't know if anyone will notice us leaving when I pull Mu Jiu away quickly from the scene."

Thinking about it carefully, what she did was indeed wrong. She shouldn't have been so hasty in pulling Mu Jiu away. This would easily attract other people's attention to the two women.
