Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Qiu Jin didn't understand what the other person meant, but it didn't stop her from secretly learning the words verbatim and telling them to her own daughter.

At this time, the assassins who suddenly appeared to attack them were either killed or fled. There was no danger anymore. Princess Huining got out of the car to check the situation and asked her guards to look for clues on those people.

She was still very concerned about this matter. After all, she was the one who invited the person. If something happened and it got out, it would probably confirm her reputation of being unlucky.

After hearing Qiu Jin's reminder, Mu Qingli just narrowed his eyes, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

What do you mean by "it seems not to be the Mu family"? Usually, this kind of talk is either about people or things. Could it be that because some people speculate that these are related to the Mu family, they are testing them?

Sending out escorts and assassins was a test for both her and her brother. Could it be that they were testing whether there were other forces or people behind the Mu family? Perhaps the previous incident in Yunzhou had aroused suspicion from others, otherwise even she would not have been tempted.

Seeing that she had been silent, Qiu Jin actually had a lot of guesses in her mind, but she did not express them. Instead, she asked her in a low voice.

"Girl, is it because we didn't do it cleanly before that someone is targeting us?"

Mu Qingli also understood that she was talking about Zhu Kunlin, but she intuitively felt that today's incident might not have much to do with Zhu Kunlin. After thinking about it, she waved her hand.

"No, it's probably because of Yunzhou's matter. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Her face was calm, with only a hint of coldness occasionally flashing between her eyebrows.

The plan was finalized not in a day or two, but five years of preparation. No matter how shrewd a person was, they would not be able to find out anything. This is why she had to start planning in advance.

Now, she has calculated all possible accidents in her mind for every step she takes, and even prepared several solutions in advance. So she is not worried about accidents at all. After all, she already has the ability to deal with them.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Jin felt a lot more at ease. She looked outside and didn't say anything more. After all, there were still quite a few outsiders there.

The guards that followed Princess Huining were all carefully trained by the old prince. Naturally, they were very skilled and had some tricks, but they were still unable to find out any information. They could only speculate that these people might be assassins secretly raised by someone.

Lu Zhiyao felt a little guilty for not asking for the result. She just felt that it was because she invited Mu Qingli out that gave those sneaky people the opportunity to act. She didn't dare to delay any longer and directly asked everyone to go back to the city first.

Little did they know that at this time, the assassins who had left before them and survived had already quickly returned to the city. Not long after, they quietly entered a mansion through a secret passage.

When they emerged from the secret passage, they were already in a study. There was only one person in the room, reading quietly. He was not surprised to see them and just casually asked about the situation.

The leading assassin had a dull look in his eyes but fortunately he was still conscious and explained almost all the details clearly, only adding one sentence at the end.

"This time, apart from the highly paid Ferry Pavilion Spirit Snake Whip Ge Han, no other martial arts masters were found. The Mu family girl relied on the invulnerable carriage and was unable to approach, so she had to retreat temporarily."

After he finished his report, he saw the man casually waving his hand, which meant for them to leave. Then he lowered his eyes and continued into the secret passage with an expressionless face.

Who knew that just after they left, a figure appeared from behind the screen in the study.

The man just now stood up and bowed respectfully towards the figure. He even gave up the armchair and helped the other person sit down before speaking in a gentle voice.

"Master, it seems that the Mu family should be fine. I heard that Mu Yuan dotes on his youngest daughter the most. After the incident five years ago, Madam Mu went to the Ferry Pavilion and paid a large sum of money to hire a skilled martial artist to protect her. That carriage is probably just a means of protection.

We did send people to test Mu Fushu, but the people around him don't have any martial arts skills. Although he is a bit smart, he shouldn't be the one to ruin our plans."

The old man who was helped by him to sit on the chair had a kind face, but his eyes were sharp as if he could see into the deepest part of a person's heart.

When she heard the man's words, she didn't speak out in a hurry, but just squinted her eyes and thought.

They could be said to be the first group in Beijing to receive the news of the sudden incident in Yunzhou. They had made a lot of preparations in private, but unfortunately, before they could implement them, a force in Yunzhou accidentally ruined their plans.

Afterwards, the old master of the Gu family came out to flatter and won a yellow jacket for the Gu family. They found it even more strange. They investigated privately but found nothing, so they could only test it secretly.

The man didn't wait for a response and stood quietly by, waiting for the old man's instructions at any time. It took a while before he heard the old man's somewhat cold voice.

"Let's put this aside first and find a chance to test the Mu and Gu families to see if they have any other forces besides the palace soldiers. No one can stop my plan!"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed but he quickly agreed respectfully, then frowned again.

"The people from Yunzhou have already sent back a message. I heard that the Cheng family cooperated with Hu Minglang very much and made this mission go very smoothly. They even managed to capture Lin Yuan. I guess he will bring his people back to the capital to report once the matter is settled.

I'm afraid if they come back, the rewards and positions they receive will be very different. Master, do you need our people to stop them?"

The man on the armchair simply waved his hand casually, saying indifferently, "No need. The best opportunity has been missed. Did the people you sent to keep an eye on the Gu family find anything?"

The middle-aged man quickly shook his head.

"No, the Gu family is doing the same as always. Only yesterday, the daughter of the Mu family went to visit the old master Gu and even specially handed in a letter. It was the eldest son of the Gu family who brought her over. They talked for half a quarter of an hour, but the content of the conversation is unknown.

Afterwards, Gu Luoheng and his men wandered around the mansion for quite a while before sending them back, but they didn't find anything amiss."

Who knew that the old man's brows also frowned.

There were no problems with either of them. Could it be that he was overthinking it this time? But what about the uneasiness that occasionally rose in his heart?

He couldn't figure it out, so he just put it aside and continued to whisper other things.

The two of them stayed in the study and discussed for a long time before leaving, one leaving the house while the other entered the secret passage.

At this time, the palace had also received the news. Concubine Ying's face looked very ugly, and she glared at her daughter with almost uncontrollable anger.

"Are you crazy?"
