Jiang Qibin scratched his head and lowered his voice deliberately: "As ordered, Your Highness."

Then he immediately went to the front yard of the east courtyard.

The guards of the Gu Mansion were quietly guarding their respective posts, as if they were unaware of what was happening in the courtyard.

Jiang Qibin had doubts in his heart, how could this majestic Prince Consort's house be filled with idiot servants.

He stood on the corridor and shouted loudly: "Who is responsible for arranging the guard duty in the outer courtyard today? Come here quickly, His Highness has orders!"

Several guards at the courtyard gate heard the shouting and leaned together to whisper a few words.

Then, a tall guard with a long face ran towards Jiang Qibin in small steps.

He ran to Jiang Qibin and asked, "What are your orders, princess?"

"Are you all hiding in the front yard?" Jiang Qibin looked sulky and said:

"His Highness asked Qingxuan that a thief broke into Qingxuan late at night with evil intentions. Your Highness was in shock, but you didn't hear a single commotion?"

The tall guard looked frightened and quickly knelt down and said, "Is it true that we have failed in our duty? Did the princess make any mistakes?"

"If the guards in the palace are really like you, even if Your Highness has not made any mistakes, he will make mistakes sooner or later!"

Jiang Qibin shouted angrily.

"The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"

"Fortunately, we discovered it early and His Highness was just a little frightened."

"The thief has disappeared now. Hurry up and call all the guards you can from the front yard. They will all guard at the gate of the inner yard tonight!"

"If something really happens to His Highness, you should check to see if your neck is strong enough to withstand the thunderous wrath of the Holy Empress!"

Jiang Qibin shouted, and after the performance was over, he turned around and left with a childish and proud look on his face.

The tall guard was so frightened that he was secretly complaining.

There are two people in this house, one is the consort and the other is the princess, neither of them can afford to offend them.

Butler Huang's previous instructions to their team of guards were to patrol and guard the front yard, while another team of people guarded the back yard.

In the high-level courtyard, outsiders were not allowed to enter the back house without permission.

The guards from the palace could enter because the one who lived there was a princess, and the order to protect the princess was given by the current queen.

If they went in, they would probably get a bloody meal if Prince Consort Gu found out.

Therefore, they strictly abide by Huang Fu's instructions and only wander around the front yard.

But now...the inner courtyard where the princess lives is infested with thieves. If anything happens, those of them guarding the front yard may also be in trouble.

He bit his lip and immediately ran to the entrance of the courtyard, summoning most of the guards to go to the backyard with him.

Jiang Qibin ran to the front yard and made a fuss, then quickly slipped back to ask Qingxuan.

"Your Highness, we have called all the guards in the front yard." Jiang Qibin reported at the door.

"Did you tell me that my yard was robbed?" Jiang Xue's lazy voice came from inside the house.

"I said it." Not only did he say it, but he also said it with added embarrassment.

After a while, Xiaochun opened the door and came out, raised his hand to half cover his face, and whispered beside him:

"Now find a secluded place where you can see all the guards in the courtyard, and keep an eye on whether any of these people are leaving."

Jiang Qibin nodded, jumped slightly, and flew away from the eaves.

Jiang Xue was not entirely sure that the person just now was the spy sent by Gu Lintan.

However, what she can be sure of is that with Gu Lintan's style, he will definitely place his own spies among the servants.

Ordinary servants, wait for the next few days to be slowly checked by Xiaochun and Lidong.

But these guards were not from the backyard after all, so the two of them could not directly find out any clues.

So Jiang Xue wants to make tonight's incident louder.

If there was any unusual movement in Qingxuan, Gu Lintan's eyes and ears would naturally go to report it to his master as soon as possible.

She only needs to let Jiang Qibin observe secretly to know which guards are his eyes and ears.

Jiang Xue tapped her fingers lightly on the table, seeming to be thinking.

The commotion outside the hospital gradually became louder. Jiang Xue signaled with a glance, Fudong nodded and walked out of Wen Qingxuan.

She walked to the door of the courtyard and asked loudly:

"What are you doing? You are making a lot of noise. If you disturb His Highness's rest, you will be rewarded!"

The tall guard who rushed over from the front yard was panting and said:

"Princess Shicai's guards came over to inform us that a thief broke into the inner courtyard and ordered us to come and guard the door."

Fu Dong's eyes swept over everyone one by one.

A group of people were all out of breath, probably the group coming from the front yard.

The other team looked calm, and they should have been patrolling at the entrance of the inner courtyard from the beginning.

"The thief has been repelled by Guard Jiang and Guard Xu," Fu Dong said. "The two of them went to chase them. Just stay here and guard them. Don't leave. If something happens to His Highness, even the Nine Clan of you are not enough." Cut."

"What's your name?" Fu Dong raised his chin and asked the tall guard.

The tall guard raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Girl, I am Cui Ying."

"Are you their leader?" Fu Dong said, "Count them carefully and come over and tell me the number of people. I need to know which of you have gone away to hide and neglect your duties. I will report it to His Highness's Consort tomorrow. Dispose of them together."

Cui Ying gasped, took a few steps forward and said to Fu Dong:

"Girl, I have brought all the people I can bring in the front yard. There are twelve people in total. The other eight brothers are on duty in the front yard as usual."

"Do you think I'm blind?" Fu Dong pointed to the guard standing outside the door and said, "There are only twelve people in such a large group?"

"Girl, I am only responsible for commanding the guards in the front yard. The ones in the inner yard..." Cui Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's not under my control."

"Oh?" Fu Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at the other group of people, "Where is your leader?"

The two teams of guards were dressed exactly the same, but they stood in two groups.

If you saw them on weekdays, you would never think that they belong to two teams and have different bosses.

A guard walked out of another group of people and said: "Little man Li Cong, the guard in the inner courtyard, Mr. Huang, asked me to take charge of him."

Fu Dong said, "Why didn't you say anything when I asked me just now?"

Li Cong said: "The number of guards in the inner courtyard has always been twenty-two. The Prince Consort is concerned about the safety of His Highness, so he has arranged the most manpower for the inner courtyard."

"Are you here at this moment?" Fu Dong asked.

"They're all here."

"Okay," Fudong said, "It was dark and dark most of the night. There are so many people that I don't even bother to count."

"You two make arrangements. These dozens of people will be patrolling outside the inner courtyard tonight. Be alert. What happened just now is going to happen again. No one can save your head."

After saying that, Fu Dong closed the courtyard door heavily.

Inside the courtyard gate, Xiaochun, Chen Jin and Chen Xiu were standing quietly.

Fudong turned around and saw the three silent people, and was almost scared out of his mind.

"Good sister, where did you run just now?" Fu Dong whispered.

Just now, Jiang Xue ordered Jiang Qibin to put on a show in the front yard, but Xiaochun turned around and disappeared.

"Your Highness, it's not safe here," Xiaochun shook his head and said, "I went without permission and invited two Wu Anlangs to come and guard Qingxuan tonight."

"Didn't you just call those people outside the door to bump into you?"

Xiaochun shook his head.

Chen Xiu pointed at the courtyard wall.

The two of them grabbed Xiaochun and jumped over the wall.

With Wu Anlang's skills, it is not difficult to avoid being noticed.

Fudong grabbed Xiaochun's sleeve and said, "Come in with me first and report back to His Highness."

She turned to Chen Jin and Chen Xiu and said with a smile: "I'll leave this courtyard to my two eldest brothers."

Chen Jin didn't like to talk, and kept his expression expressionless. He just nodded.

Chen Xiu looked at Fu Dong's silly look and smiled.

Inside the house, Jiang Xue was sleeping with her forehead on her forehead.

After entering the house at dawn and winter, Jiang Xue opened her eyes and said, "Did you go to move people?"

Xiaochun nodded and said: "Jiang Qibin has other tasks, and Xu Chong is the only one to protect him. I don't trust him, so I made the decision without permission."

"I thought I could help them sleep well on their first day in the mansion." Jiang Xue raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "That's all, you are also eager to protect the master."

"Fu Dong, how is the situation?" Jiang Xue raised her eyes and looked at Fu Dong.

Fu Dong said: "Your Highness, the guards of the Gu Mansion are really divided into two groups. Those people in the front yard are panicking and look like fools."

"On the contrary, the leader of that team claimed to be guarding the inner courtyard. He concealed the number of people."

"When Xiaochun and I entered this courtyard in the afternoon, Xiaochun counted them in detail in private." She looked at Xiaochun, her eyes full of admiration.

"There are guards standing in groups of three and two outside the courtyard gate, twenty-two in total."

"The guard leader also reported that there are currently twenty-two people guarding the courtyard."

"But I was careful when I went out, and clicked on those who looked calm."

"Including that guy, there are only twenty-one people."

"The man lied about the number of people."
