It can be seen that Dong Ling'er's ability to make money is by no means comparable to that of ordinary businessmen.

In this life, Dong Ling'er seems to be only running a restaurant. Behind her is the huge mountain of Pingyang Palace. The ability she has shown is not enough to make others take action regardless of the palace.

Then, there is nearly an 80% chance that the person behind the scenes is so desperate to kill Dong Ling'er at this time, not giving her any chance to grow.

The person behind her, like her, carries the memories of her previous life.

It is because he knows how desperate Dong Ling'er will grow in the near future that he wants to eliminate this hidden danger at all costs.

After having this idea, Lin Chunhuan knocked on the pillar three times.

Soon, a figure appeared beside her.

This was the female guard that Xiao Cen had left by her side before. She was originally a secret guard, but according to Xiao Cen's idea, she should be turned from secret to open and kept by her side.

But Lin Chunhuan thought about it and felt that having Qiu Shuang by her side was enough, not to mention that Dong Ling'er could come back to help occasionally. She really didn't need so many people, so she let the female secret guard go back to her old job.

It's all protection anyway, and there's not much difference between being in the light and in the dark. Sometimes, even staying in the dark can have unexpected effects.

However, at the beginning, Lin Chunhuan had no intention of using this person. Sometimes he would deliberately push people away when doing something. After being noticed by Xiao Cen, the two had a deep and long conversation.

The content of the conversation included, but was not limited to, that Lin Chunhuan was not allowed to forcibly order the secret guards not to follow, on the condition that Xiao Cen handed over all of the female secret guard's assets, tokens, and indentures to her.

"From now on, she is yours. You don't have to report any of your actions to me. Is this going to work?"

Recalling Xiao Cen's pitiful look when he said this, Lin Chunhuan slightly curled the corners of her lips, but that smile only existed for a moment in her eyes.

"Go check the places where Dong Ling'er has stayed before and see if anyone has investigated her whereabouts in the past few months. It would be best if you can find out who did that."

The female secret guard didn't even respond.

He just nodded slightly and disappeared into the night.

Qiu Shuang came out to look for someone and said Dong Ling'er had woken up. Mu Qing also happened to come over and invited Ah Qing over. Looking at the smiling face in front of him, Lin Chunhuan sighed and sat down beside the bed. "Now it's just you and me. If you want to cry, just cry."

"It's okay. There's nothing shameful in crying a few times."

Dong Ling'er burst out laughing when she heard that. As she laughed, her eyeballs kept drooping and it seemed like they couldn't stop falling. Soon, both sides of Dong Ling'er's sleeves were wet.

Seeing her crying, Lin Chunhuan did not try to persuade her. He just sat quietly beside her and handed her a towel so that Dong Ling'er could wipe her face.

It's a good thing to be able to cry at this time. At least if you cry, you probably won't try to commit suicide again.

Lin Chunhuan was really scared. She was afraid that such a vibrant life would really wither away in front of her because of these disgusting and dirty things.

"Ling'er..."

"You don't have to persuade me, madam." Lin Chunhuan had prepared a lot of words but couldn't say them out loud. Dong Ling'er interrupted her with a sniff, "I cried only because it hurt, not because of anything else."

"As for that kind of thing, just treat it as being bitten by a dog. Anyway, I don't plan to get married in this life. I can enjoy so many men. Others don't have this blessing. I won't be depressed, let alone seek death."

Every word Dong Ling'er spoke was powerful.

Looking at the face still covered with purple scars, Lin Chunhuan opened her mouth but could not utter a word. Instead, Dong Ling'er smiled and advised her, "It really doesn't matter. If a dog bites someone, then kill the dog. As for the wound, it will heal. Could it be that the wound didn't kill me, but I have to commit suicide because of it?"

"There is no such thing as this."

Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and stared at Dong Ling'er's eyes for a long time.

In the end, he just nodded and covered her with the quilt. "Okay, I promise you, I will catch the person behind the scenes. Then we can take revenge and injustice. After this hurdle, we can still be good girls."

After leaving Qiu Shuang behind, Lin Chunhuan gathered his cloak and returned to his residence with the maid who usually served in the yard. He waited until daybreak before the female secret guard appeared quietly again.

"The princess's guess is correct. More than a month ago, someone did go to the matchmaker to ask about Miss Dong. Because Miss Dong has a strange personality and later entered the palace, some people asked about her, and the matchmaker paid more attention to her. This is what I drew based on the matchmaker's description."

A simple portrait was handed to Lin Chunhuan.

Unfortunately, the face above was not someone she knew, but she could imagine that so far, the only two people she knew of who had memories of their previous life were Xiao Jinan and Lin Chunuan.

If those two people really wanted to find out something, they didn't need to do it themselves. There were plenty of people they could use. However, with the portrait, they could at least have a direction, so they wouldn't be completely clueless.

Lin Chunhuan nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After hearing this, the female secret guard did not respond, and her figure slowly disappeared silently, as if she had never appeared, without leaving any trace.

"Ah Huan."

Lin Chunhuan was staring at the portrait in a daze when Xiao Cen walked in quickly from outside and grabbed her wrist without saying a word. "The emperor has urgently summoned us. We must enter the palace immediately. Come with me."

"Enter the palace?"

Lin Chunhuan was confused for a moment, "What happened?"

"The third prince has accused Xiao Jinan of forming a clique for personal gain and intending to rebel." Xiao Cen's face turned ashen. Xiao Jinan had been quiet for a while, and he thought that his adopted son had come to terms with it.

I didn't expect that after a period of silence, he would actually have such a big move!

Regardless of whether they are related by blood or not, in the eyes of His Majesty, and in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Jinan is his, Xiao Cen's son, and this cannot be refuted at all.

Once this crime is confirmed, even if it is finally proved that it was just Xiao Jinan's personal behavior and had nothing to do with the palace, he will inevitably be implicated afterwards.

What's more, up to now, except for the urgent summons from the emperor, he has not received any news from the palace.

Xiao Cen thought about what this meant for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead uncontrollably.

Lin Chunhuan, on the other hand, did not think so much. He was packing his things while wondering, "The Third Prince? Didn't the Third Prince pester the Eight Prefectures Inspector to go out and investigate a case? I haven't heard when he will be back."
