“If that’s the case,” Xue Yan continued to speak in a suppressed voice, “It’s very likely that he sent someone to Prince Weimin’s fief to exploit Prince Weimin’s wild ambitions. He’s taking the opportunity that Prince Weimin and Prince Ying are sworn enemies. He wants to use Prince Weimin to kill Princess Jin and make sure that Princess Jin’s death has something to do with us. Not only would Prince Weimin think that he could benefit from the internal strife in the royal family, but he would also be able to find an opportunity to benefit from the chaos. Soon, Prince Weimin will send people to Xinyuan to deal with Princess Jin.”

“We have to arrange for someone to protect Princess Jin,” Jiang Yue said.

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded.

It was better to be prepared than not,

The next day, Princess Jin hitched a carriage and led it from the back door to the entrance of the shop in front, waiting for Xue Sifu to come out of the shop.

Xue Sifu said that he was going to the neighboring county again today. He said that the shop was being taken care of and that they had also agreed to pay the money today. As a servant serving him, she had to go with him.

However, after waiting for a while at the entrance of the shop, she realized that something was wrong.

There were a few more stalls on this street. All the stall owners looked young. Although they were wearing coa.r.s.e clothes, if one observed carefully, one could still find that they were all very neatly dressed.

In other words, they must be martial artists.

This town was close to Locust Village, so it was normal for many people to be watching her. Otherwise, she would not have disguised herself and entered Xinyuan.

However, there were more people watching this restaurant, and there were more than yesterday…

It didn’t seem like there were two groups of people with two masters behind them… Otherwise, with so many people protecting the Crown Prince in this town, they should have discovered the mole by now. How could they have allowed those people to set up their stalls there…

That meant that these groups of people were here for extra security.

Why did they send more people?

Was it because she was acting suspicious?

After all, Xue Sifu had already discovered that she was a woman. Moreover, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had also come yesterday. Even if these two people didn’t come, it was hard to guarantee that Xue Sifu wouldn’t tell these two kids.

No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t feel like it.

If they really thought that she was suspicious, she might harm them, but if they wanted to know what she wanted to do, they would naturally let her stay by Xue Sifu’s side. They would not alert the enemy, but more so to take care of Xue Sifu’s safety. If that was the case, shouldn’t they send one or two experts to Xue Sifu’s side and pretend to be Xue Sifu’s manservants? That was the safest way to keep him alive.

Xue Sifu did not have any skills. She was always by his side and was so close to him. There was no one else around Xue Sifu. If she really wanted to harm Xue Sifu, she could have killed him with one slash. What was the point of sending more people to keep an eye on her from afar?

Xue Sifu was a fox, Xue Yan was beyond her reach, and Jiang Yue was a complicated child. The three of them together would not do such a meaningless thing. Maybe they were not trying to keep an eye on her.

Then what was the purpose of sending more people over?

She was already so suspicious, so why didn’t Xue Sifu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue send anyone to keep an eye on her? She also did not know what was wrong with Xue Sifu. Since yesterday, he has been treating her quite well… Even though he did not treat her badly in the beginning, it was quite obvious that he was treating her better now…

Could it be that he already knew her ident.i.ty?

H L.LA-.I%.-.LY

She had only just arrived, and she was already easily exposed.

If that was the case, then Xue Sifu, Xue Yan, and Jiang Yue were terrifying.

Even so, she still felt that something was not right. Even though he already knew her ident.i.ty, Xue Sifu’s att.i.tude was still a little strange. It did not seem like he was treating her as a princess as well..
