Seeing that the person coming was Prince An's secret guard, Lin Luoling covered his mouth and was about to scream.

Looking again, the secret guard put down a black cloth bag, and vaguely saw that there should be a person inside.

The secret guard knelt on one knee and reported: "My subordinates and Xu Hong fought with the spy of King Rui and captured him alive. As Young Master Jiang expected, after the spy was captured, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and died in an instant.

My subordinates put his body in a black bag and brought it back, while Xu Hong was knocked unconscious by my subordinates in the back alley of Yongning Marquis's mansion."

Prince An said coldly, "Hmm," and then said, "Give the body of the spy to Jiang Chi for inspection to find out the cause of his sudden death."

"Yes!" replied the secret guard.

Prince An was probably afraid that Lin Luoling would know that there was a corpse in the black cloth bag, so he subconsciously grabbed Lin Luoling's hand and said, "Don't be afraid."

He pulled Lin Luoling behind him and told the secret guard that Jiang Chi was in the small courtyard behind the bamboo forest.

Just as the secret guard picked up the black cloth bag, Prince An said again: "Don't let Jiang Chi perform the autopsy in Jingxinyuan, take him somewhere else."

When Lin Luoling heard this, she suddenly realized that the small courtyard built for her by Prince An was called Jingxin Courtyard. He didn't allow Jiang Chi to perform the autopsy in Jingxin Courtyard because he was afraid that she would be scared and would not be able to sleep well in Jingxin Courtyard in the future.

In his previous life, Lin Luoling had seen too many corpses, some beaten to death, some burned to death.

No matter how they died, it was tragic.

What's more, those corpses were all people she had known since childhood.

Now she would not be afraid even if she saw the corpse with her own eyes.

It's just that she didn't want to explain, nor did she want King An to know that she was a woman who was not afraid of anything.

She lowered her eyes to look at Prince An who was holding her hand. She wanted to pull it away, but Prince An was holding it too tightly. She tried to pull it away several times but failed. Her cheeks immediately turned red.

After the secret guards left, Prince An noticed that the small, tender hand in his palm moved back and forth several times. He looked back at Lin Luoling's embarrassed expression, and then let go of her hand.

Prince An blushed slightly and said, "It is my fault for being rude. Please don't blame me, Miss Lin."

After saying this, Prince An turned and walked forward.

Lin Luoling pursed her lips and smiled, following behind Prince An. Prince An had been calling her "I" when he was talking to her just now, but after blushing, he called her "this prince", obviously nervous.

Prince An led Lin Luoling to the courtyard of Master Jing'an. Master Jing'an stood in front of the door. When she saw Prince An coming, she said politely, "Greetings to His Highness Prince An."

After entering the house, Lin Luoling discovered that there was another man in the house. This man looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

The man looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was lively and cheerful. He laughed out loud, saluted Prince An first, then clasped his fists towards Lin Luoling and said:

"I met Miss Lin once."

Lin Luoling returned the greeting and said, "You look familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen you before. How should I address you, sir?"

Prince An glanced at the man and said, "His name is Dou Tong. He is the secret guard I found for you. He will live in the bamboo forest from now on. If you have any business, you can tell him when I and Jiang Chi are not in Jingfu Temple."

Dou Tong...

Lin Luoling suddenly remembered that when she first came to Jingfu Temple, after rescuing Princess July, she heard the leader of the guards mention that he wanted Dou Tong to catch the Phantom Shooter.

Presumably Dou Tong failed to catch the Phantom Shooter, and then Jiang Chi said that he was going to catch the Phantom Shooter. I don't know whether Jiang Chi caught the Phantom Shooter or not.

Dou Tong smiled and said, "That day, Miss Lin went to Mrs. Chen's shop to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. I met Miss Lin once."

Lin Luoling immediately remembered that time when she wanted to see what Jiang Chi had burned Tianxiang Tower and Qionglouyuge into, so she took Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Qingyao to "Dangui Haitangzhai". At that time, Mrs. Chen called a man to look after the shop, saying that she wanted to go back to make osmanthus cakes.

The man was Dou Tong.

Lin Luoling looked at Prince An in surprise, "Is Sister Chen someone of His Royal Highness Prince An?"

Prince An nodded and said, "Mrs. Chen was originally in the Queen Mother's Palace, and her duty was to accompany and protect Princess July. Because Princess July liked to eat osmanthus cakes, she carefully made osmanthus cakes for several years, improved them dozens of times, and made a different taste.

Later, because someone in the palace wanted to harm Princess July, my father publicly executed her and secretly asked He Hongkun to send her out of the palace. After she hid in the village for more than two years, she came to Xuzhou in Beijing and opened the "Dan Gui Hai Tang Zhai".

Lin Luoling blinked, walked forward, and asked Prince An, "Did Sister Chen tell His Highness Prince An that Feng Ying, the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower, was a spy planted by Prince Rui in Xuzhou, Beijing? Sister Chen said that she had seen Feng Ying in her early years, so did Sister Chen know that Feng Ying was a man?"

After the voice fell, an extremely charming female voice came from outside the door, "Did I come at a bad time? I just happened to hear everything Miss Lin said clearly."

Hearing the voice, Lin Luoling turned her head suddenly, and saw a tall and slender woman with extremely charming appearance standing at the door. She was wearing a bright pink gauze skirt, holding a blood-red handkerchief, and looking at her with raised eyes.

"you are?"

Lin Luoling guessed that the person who came was Feng Ying, but she had no idea at the moment. Feng Ying was the spy that Rui Wang had planted in Xuzhou to monitor An Wang. If Feng Ying dared to appear in Jingfu Temple, wouldn't she be caught by so many guards? How could Feng Ying be allowed to walk in front of An Wang openly?

Fengying raised her handkerchief and smiled charmingly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "I am naturally the Fengying that Miss Lin mentioned."
