Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Xuan Moyin received a tip from An Yi that he had discovered traces of suspected spies from the Beiliang Kingdom.

It turned out that today, at the porridge shed where porridge was distributed, the secret guards discovered three people with strange movements. On the surface, the guards of the Regent Palace were busy maintaining order in the porridge shed, but in fact, there were a group of secret guards lurking quietly around.

The abnormal behavior of these three people aroused the vigilance of the secret guards - they all wore wide hats that almost covered half of their faces; not only that, they also appeared to be extremely cautious, and did not talk to the people in front or behind who were queuing for porridge, as if they were afraid of being recognized by others.

This eccentric behavior made them particularly eye-catching in the crowd, so the secret guards hiding in the dark fixed their eyes on them.

After receiving the items, the three men left quickly, and a secret guard followed them quietly. However, the three men were too cunning. They wandered around in the narrow and winding alleys in the city, and finally disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

When Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue arrived at the place where the secret guard said the three missing persons disappeared, the scene before them was puzzling - this was a dead end, with a secluded path at the end of the alley, a small river about five meters wide flowing on the left side of the road, and the towering walls of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the right side. Could it be that the three people who disappeared without a trace actually entered the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue's eyes met and they instantly understood each other's inner thoughts.

At this moment, Zhang was in the manor outside the city, and Su Qingrou had married into the prince's mansion. As a result, only Prime Minister Su, the old lady, Aunt Zhao and others were left in the Prime Minister's mansion, including Su Luoxue herself.

"Go check the background of this Zhao in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Xuan Moyin ordered a guard beside him with a cold look.

The guard nodded respectfully and left like the wind.

"Let's go back home first!" Xuan Moyin turned and looked at Su Luoxue, saying calmly.

The guards of the Prince Regent's Palace were well-trained, resolute and efficient. As soon as night fell, the guards hurried back to the palace to report the results of the investigation to Xuan Moyin.

It turned out that this Aunt Zhao was the beauty whom Prime Minister Su had accidentally rescued on his way home from court four years ago.

On that day, when Prime Minister Su was halfway on his way, he suddenly saw a woman being chased and teased by several hooligans. The woman was terrified and fell in front of Prime Minister Su's carriage. Prime Minister Su felt pity for her and ordered his followers to drive those hooligans away and asked about the woman's life experience.

According to the woman, her parents had passed away long ago, and she came to the capital alone to seek refuge with her relatives and friends, but she could not find their whereabouts. In desperation, she could only wander the streets and alleys, sleeping in the open for more than a few days.

When Prime Minister Su heard this, he felt sympathy for this beautiful woman with a miserable life, so he decided to take her back to his mansion and take her in as his concubine. Not only that, in order to favor Zhao alone, he had expelled all other concubines from the house in recent years.

"There is definitely something wrong with this Aunt Zhao!" Su Luoxue said to Xuan Moyin with certainty.

"Well, it seems we have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight." Xuan Moyin nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at Ningcui Pavilion where Aunt Zhao was like ghosts. As it was still early, Prime Minister Su had not yet arrived, and there were only Aunt Zhao and a little maid in the house. Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin quietly sneaked into the space, paying close attention to every move of the outside world.

On the surface, everything seemed quite normal, without showing any abnormality. However, Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue always felt that Aunt Zhao was no ordinary person, so they decided to stay in the space to observe and not leave for the time being.

After a while, Prime Minister Su finally showed up to rest. In this case, it would be difficult to gain anything tonight.

"Or, you can take a nap on the sofa for a while. You probably won't gain much tonight." Su Luoxue lazily lay on her spacious and comfortable bed, turned to Xuan Moyin and suggested.

"Okay." Xuan Moyin agreed, but in fact he was just taking a short rest. With his extraordinary alertness and deep inner strength, he could wake up instantly even if there was a slight disturbance in the outside world.

At dawn, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Aunt Zhao had already gotten up and began to carefully help Prime Minister Su wash and change into his court clothes.

When Prime Minister Su had finished tidying up, he reached out his hand and gently pinched Aunt Zhao's pink cheek with a hint of affection, then he turned and left, walked out of the room, got on the carriage and headed for the palace.

However, at this moment, Aunt Zhao did not return to her comfortable bed to continue resting. Instead, after sending away all the maids around her, she carefully closed the door.

Then, she took out a cloth that served as a bundle, poured all the snacks on the table onto the cloth, wrapped them up, held them in her hand, and walked straight to the dressing table next to the bed. When she came to the dressing table, she skillfully pressed a hidden button at the bottom of the bronze mirror. With a light "click", the entire dressing table slowly rotated 90 degrees, and a hidden secret door appeared. The secret door was just the right size for one person to pass through, and Aunt Zhao dodged and got in without hesitation. After entering the secret door, it automatically closed and returned to its original state, as if it had never existed.

Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue, who were hiding in the space, saw all of her actions. They looked at each other and thought to themselves: It seems that there is something wrong with this Aunt Zhao!

About two incense sticks later, the secret door was opened again and Aunt Zhao walked out cautiously.

She gently closed the secret door and removed the bolt from the door, then quickly took off her fur coat and went back to bed to rest. After a while, Aunt Zhao called her personal maid to help her wash and change clothes. After breakfast, she led the maid to the old lady's residence to greet her.

When the room was empty, Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin emerged from the space.

Xuan Moyin walked to the dressing table and reached out to press a hidden button. With a light "click", the secret door slowly opened. The two looked at each other and walked in one after another in tacit understanding.

After entering the secret door, they found another button behind it. Xuan Moyin pressed it without hesitation, and the secret door immediately closed.

When they went inside, they found that it was a narrow secret passage less than two meters wide. There was a kerosene lamp every ten meters on both sides of the secret passage, but the light was dim and the vision was still blurry. Xuan Moyin walked in front to lead the way, and Su Luoxue followed closely behind. The two of them walked lightly and cautiously towards the depths of the secret passage.
