Lin Luoling analyzed to Chen Yin, “Although Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong betrayed the wife of the Yongning Marquis and did some things that were unfair to her, Zhu Xianrun’s death had nothing to do with them.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Quan are the right-hand men of Lady Yongning Marquis. Over the years, Lady Yongning Marquis has been able to control the other concubines and maids in the Yongning Marquis's mansion. The position of the wife and her status are one of the reasons, but it is also necessary that there are people helping her behind the scenes.

After Zhou Quan and his wife died, although Lady Yongning had other maids available, none of them knew Lady Yongning better than Nanny Dong.

Moreover, after the wife of Marquis Yongning learned that Zhou Quan and his wife had betrayed her and Marquis Yongning, she would be more cautious even when using her personal maids.

If servants are too cautious, they will not be loyal. Without loyalty, no one will truly serve Lady Yongning.

How could she be a match for Zhu Xianzhi alone? Moreover, the concubines and maids in the East Courtyard, who were all obedient to the wife of the Yongning Marquis on the surface, were oppressed and bullied by the wife of the Yongning Marquis for so many years. How could they not have the heart to rebel?

You never know. When Zhu Xianzhi fought back, the concubines and maids of Yongning Marquis had to borrow Zhu Xianzhi's knife to kill the wife of Yongning Marquis!"

After hearing this, Chen Yin was shocked and asked, "So, this is why you wanted to deal with Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong before? Was it to get rid of the Yongning Marquis and his wife's right-hand men? And also to make them be on guard against the servants?"

Lin Luoling smiled faintly and said "hmm" softly.

As they were talking, the carriage was almost approaching the south gate of Xuzhou. The driver and Yan Jin saw that the south gate was closed. In front of the gate stood three mighty and domineering men, wearing silver armor and riding tall maroon horses. Behind them were a dozen soldiers, holding broadswords, standing in line.

Yan Jin frowned and whispered, "Miss, there is something wrong with the South City Gate."

Yan Jin followed Jiang Feng around the country on business, and although he seldom left the city in the middle of the night, it did happen.

At 11:00 p.m. every day in Xuzhou, the city gates would be closed and the soldiers guarding the gates would be replaced, leaving one team behind to guard the gates. After 11:00 p.m., the total number of soldiers would not exceed nine.

But the situation before me looked a bit strange.

Lin Luoling lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, and she also felt something was strange. She remembered Jiang Chi whispering in her ear that Prince An had sent secret guards to escort her to Jingfu Temple.

But the soldiers standing in front of the South Gate were clearly not the secret guards sent by Prince An.

Could it be that they are the soldiers of the second prince, Prince Rui?

Lin Luoling ordered in a low voice: "Stop the car!"

As soon as the voice fell, Yan Jin pulled the reins hard. After the carriage stopped, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from the front. Looking again, it turned out to be the three generals in silver armor riding horses.

Lin Luoling gripped the carriage curtain tightly, and Yan Jin also tightened his grip on the reins. Biyou and Bizhi took out extremely sharp daggers from their sleeve pockets and stared straight ahead.

Unexpectedly, a male voice suddenly appeared on the left, "Miss Lin will be sent to Jingfu Temple by you. His Royal Highness Prince An has ordered that Miss Lin and others must be protected and there must be no mistakes.

Xu Hong and I will take care of the ones following behind."

"Yes!" A general on horseback in front clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Chen Yin pushed aside the curtain on the left side of the carriage, and Lin Luoling saw at a glance that the man standing on the left side of the carriage was the secret guard who appeared at the order of Prince An when she was playing chess with Prince An at Jingfu Temple and was seen by Lan Wanyun.

The secret guard turned his head and clasped his fists towards Lin Luoling and said, "Miss Lin, they are arranged by His Royal Highness Prince An to take you to Jingfu Temple. There is no need to panic."

Lin Luoling nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince An! I want to ask, what do you mean by the tail following behind you?"

The secret guard replied: "King Rui has sent a secret guard to monitor the Yongning Marquis's mansion. When Miss Lin left the mansion just now, the secret guard followed her.

Xu Hong and I acted separately. I protected Miss Lin while he went to fight the secret guard. Now Xu Hong hasn't caught up yet. I guess he hasn't dealt with the secret guard yet. I need to help Xu Hong."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling's eyes suddenly turned pale with shock and asked, "Doesn't that mean that the secret guard will secretly inform the Second Prince of my every move in Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"

The secret guard nodded and said, "So, His Royal Highness Prince An has ordered that when Miss Lin is in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Xu Hong and I must protect Miss Lin and not expose her. When Miss Lin is safely out of the South Gate of Jingxuzhou, let Xu Hong and I kill the secret guard sent by the Second Prince."

"If you kill him, won't His Royal Highness Prince An be suspected by the Second Prince?" Lin Luoling frowned.

"Don't worry, Miss Lin. Young Master Jiang has already prepared a disguise for Xu Hong."

After saying that, the secret guard jumped up and disappeared.

Lin Luoling suddenly realized that Jiang Chi often went to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and must have discovered the secret guard sent by the Second Prince to monitor the Yongning Marquis. She made a fake mask based on the secret guard's appearance, and after she left the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, the secret guard of His Royal Highness Prince An, Xu Hong, replaced the secret guard. This was equivalent to placing a spy next to the Second Prince.

However, Lin Luoling couldn't understand why they had to wait until she left Yongning Marquis Mansion to get rid of the secret guard?

Isn't Yongning Marquis a dog kept by the second prince, Prince Rui, in Xuzhou? Why did Prince Rui send a secret guard to monitor Yongning Marquis?
