Ling Zhao was sent by Li Yi to observe the Ning Mansion.

After Li Yi entered the palace, he was named regent by the empress dowager and the emperor. He immediately thought of his promise to Doctor Luo to take care of the Ning Mansion, so he proposed to restore Ning Qingfeng's title and promote him and Ning Yuancheng.

The Queen Mother was a little hesitant, but His Majesty agreed immediately, so after the imperial edict was issued, Li Yi arranged for Ling Zhao to come over to learn about the situation in Ning Mansion.

At a glance just now, Ling Zhao subconsciously felt that this little maid was very similar to the servant who followed Doctor Luo.

He often saw these two people behaving too intimately, so he was deeply impressed by the appearance of the servant.

Doctor Luo and the servant boy were always inseparable when they traveled together. Even today, when they were entertaining guests at Zuixian Pavilion for dinner, they sat at the same table and whispered to each other from time to time. Later, they rode out of the city together and were so intimate and presumptuous in public.

Ling Zhao wondered if these two people were - women disguised as men?

If you think about it carefully, it is very likely that when the servant was in Zuixian Pavilion, he ate his food in small, elegant and reserved manners, which was not the behavior of an ordinary man.

At that time, he and Xie Huai secretly ridiculed the boy for his plain appearance, but he was so favored by the handsome Doctor Luo.

If the two were women, in a master-servant relationship, such intimacy would be easy to understand.

What's more, the servant was particularly afraid of the Fourth Young Master Ning at that time, and he must have been very familiar with him.

Doctor Luo also told Ning Yuancheng in front of him that he was engaged to Miss Ning. Ning Yuancheng did not deny it and defended her very much. If the two were originally siblings, he was covering up the lie for his sister.

Ling Zhao unraveled the mystery, made associations and came to suspect that they were women, and he was already 80% certain about it.

He was overjoyed at having discovered this secret.

If the prince knew that Doctor Luo was a woman, wouldn't it be...

As a first-level guard, Ling Zhao followed the little maid slowly, ready to check what was going on, and was not discovered.

Guizhi walked straight to the door of Pei's house. When the guards of Pei's house saw her, they smiled familiarly and asked, "Sister Guizhi, are you here to see our young lady?"

"Yes, is Miss Pei in the mansion?" Guizhi asked with a smile.

The head of the guard said, "What a coincidence! This morning our young lady went to visit the Xue family with the mistress and has not returned yet."

The Xue family is Pei Xinyi's maternal uncle's family, but they are not in Kyoto.

"Oh, then give this letter to Miss Pei when she comes back." Guizhi handed the letter written by Ning Luo to the head of the guards, "This is written by our lady herself, you are not allowed to read it."

"Yes, we'll hand it over to you when the young lady comes back." The chief guard took it carefully.

Guizhi added, "There is a happy event in my family. Just now, Eunuch Wang came to deliver the imperial edict. His Majesty not only restored the old master's title but also appointed the Marquis as the Minister of War. Our fourth son was also promoted to the position of Junior Secretary of the Zhanshi Palace. I'm sure Lord Pei will know about it soon."

"You can also convey this happy event to the master and his wife."

The guards of Pei Mansion were overjoyed when they heard this and congratulated him, "This is truly a great event. Congratulations to the entire Ning Mansion. When the master and his wife come back, we will definitely pass on the message."

Guizhi nodded, said some polite words, and then turned back.

Halfway through, I met Ling Zhao again. This time it was not an accidental encounter, but he was walking towards me.

Guizhi recognized him now. She had seen him in Zuixian Pavilion. He was a guard of the Regent.

Thinking of how the Regent had just helped the Ning family, Guizhi couldn't help but smile.

He then bowed to Ling Zhao.

"Hello, young master."

"So you are a woman." Ling Zhao tested her with a smile.

Guizhi realized later that her identity had been exposed and hurriedly denied it.

"No... that..." Guizhi was confused at this moment, thinking that Ling Zhao must have seen through her true identity by saying this, so was the fact that the lady was dressed as a man also discovered?

I got so nervous that I started stuttering.

Ling Zhao thought she was very interesting and deliberately lied:

"Our prince has helped your Lord regain his title from His Majesty. How are you going to thank him?"

"Which prince's man are you from?" Guizhi was ready to play dumb.

But the young lady had warned her not to tell anyone else that they were women dressed as men.

"Of course it's the newly appointed Regent, the former Prince of Jin." Ling Zhao said as he walked a few steps closer and asked coldly, "We met at Zuixian Pavilion at noon. How come you don't recognize him after not seeing him for half a day?"
