Gu Qinlan's purchasing action was quite sudden at the time, so the more than 30 new servants did not find any problems.

However, three people with suspicious identities were found among the children born at home.

One is the groom who is in charge of the carriages and horses. His surname is Fang and he is an insider of the Third Prince’s faction.

One is a woman in charge of miscellaneous chores, and is a spy secretly planted by the second prince.

The other one is Dongzhi, the concubine chosen by Zheng's mother for Zheng Dinglian.

This person was actually arranged by the current emperor himself.

When Gu Qinlan learned the true identities of these people, she couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine.

It turned out that this small Prince Duan's Mansion had become a chessboard for struggles among the royal family.

If it weren't for the people sent by Zheng Dinglian, she would probably never be able to expose the true identities of these people.

Polang asked, "Madam, how do you plan to deal with these people? Do you want Wenchuan to deal with them secretly?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently: "Donshiba cannot move."

She was appointed by the emperor himself. Once action is taken against Dongzhi, the emperor will definitely have doubts about the Zheng family.

As for the other two hidden dangers, Gu Qinlan had no intention of letting them go easily.

"Give the appropriate amount of the medicine prepared by Jin Chen to those two people, and make them our pawns."

Gu Qinlan fed the spies hiding under the command of the second prince and the third prince one by one the poison carefully prepared by Jinchen.

After the two men had gone through the torture of poison and experienced the despair of the struggle between life and death, she led Fu Yu and Hong Ye into the woodshed to meet the two traitors.

When mentioning these two people, Gu Qinlan had a vague impression of them in his memory.

The coachman once drove the carriage for Gu Qinlian at her grand wedding banquet, and his figure is still vivid in my mind.

And the old woman in charge of cleaning always seemed to be working hard outside Gu Qinlan's courtyard, following her like a shadow.

The two princes' layout was very sophisticated. One kept a close eye on the movements of the master of the mansion, while the other closely monitored daily life. It was watertight.

Gu Qinlan's eyes were as cold as ice.

These two princes are really vulnerable!

Needless to say, the third prince was the winner in his previous life.

As for the Second Prince, he always pretended to be weak and sick and unable to take care of himself, but all of this was fake, and his disguise was flawless. Just when the Crown Prince was imprisoned and terminally ill, and the Third Prince was about to ascend the throne, he suddenly appeared and attempted to usurp the throne in the name of protecting the emperor, which dealt a heavy blow to the Third Prince.

That time, the Third Prince almost failed. After all, he had never considered the Second Prince, who was always sick, as a threat, let alone thought that he would become an opponent.

Later, the Second Prince was exposed, and the Third Prince sent people to investigate, only to find out that the Second Prince had been secretly manipulating many affairs under his nose.

Gu Qinlan had never paid much attention to the second prince in the past. After all, she had no connection with him.

However, in this life, she was shocked to realize that the Second Prince was so unfathomable.

These two princes are only in their early twenties, but they are extremely scheming and cunning, worthy of being of royal blood.

When I walked into the woodshed, I saw that the two spies had been tortured by poison and were sweating profusely and in excruciating pain.

As soon as they saw Gu Qinlan, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Madam, please have mercy, Madam, please have mercy."

Gu Qinlan smiled indifferently at them: "It's not impossible for me to let you go. But from now on, you must be loyal to me."

The two of them hesitated for a moment.

Gu Qinlan's tone became more serious: "I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that your master will take action against your family. But if you don't obey my orders, now is your death. Once you die, I will exaggerate your master's story. Ask yourself, can the people you want to protect still be safe?"

The two were dumbfounded and looked at Gu Qinlan in shock.

They knew that Gu Qinlan was cruel, however, her cruelty was far beyond their imagination!

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it depends on your ability."

"You can rest assured. I am not asking you to assassinate your master. I am merely asking you to pass on some true or false information. As for the future, I cannot predict it, but at least for now, you and your family will be safe. You can even take this opportunity to plan your family's future and at least ensure the continuation of your bloodline."

The driver immediately responded, "I am willing to obey Madam's orders. From now on, I will be Madam's loyal servant. I will do whatever Madam asks me to do."

The cleaning lady was still hesitant at first, but when she saw the driver so readily surrender to Gu Qinlan, she immediately said, "I am also willing to obey your orders, Madam."

Gu Qinlan smiled and nodded: "Very good, you are all very smart. So, now tell me what news you have conveyed to your master recently."

The driver replied, "I send a letter to my master once a month. If there is an emergency, I will deliver the message immediately."

Gu Qinlan raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

The driver answered cautiously: "The eldest lady ran away from home..."

The cleaning woman shrank her neck and said, "There are also several new martial arts masters in the mansion..."

Gu Qinlan frowned: "Have you already sent back all this information?"

The driver replied: "I only reported back that the eldest daughter had run away from home."

He had not yet learned about the new staff in the mansion, but as soon as he found out, he was discovered.

The cleaning woman's voice was as weak as a mosquito's buzz: "I have spread both stories, as well as Miss Yun's story..."

After she finished speaking, she was so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again."

Because she was in charge of cleaning and walked around the mansion every day, she was much more informed than the coachman.

Gu Qinlan really wanted to kill this woman immediately, but she finally held back because she still needed this woman to confuse the master behind her.

After taking two deep breaths, she said, "Let the news that was passed on before go. From today on, you must pass on information according to my instructions."

As she said this, she asked the woman to pass on a message to the capital again: Zheng Huiyi was found in a farmer's home, seriously ill. Miss Zhao was from Mohe and had been taken away by her family. These things were all done by the four people in the underworld, and now they have left Prince Duan's Mansion.

The driver then added the information that the woman had not previously passed on and passed on the false information.

The true and false news were intertwined, making it difficult for the two princes to distinguish the truth unless they sent people to investigate again.

As for Mother Luo, Gu Qinlan was full of confidence that she would not tell the Third Prince about Zheng Huiyi and Zhao Qingyu.

After all, the information she had was absolutely true.

Mother Luo will come to find her sooner or later.

Before the message was sent out, Gu Qinlan asked Jinchen to give the two of them a new drug, allowing them to experience the pain between life and death again.

"You are not allowed to use any tricks in your letters, otherwise, your fate will be more miserable than betraying your master."

The two were tortured to the point where they had no thought of resisting and could only respectfully pass on the message using the previous contact information.
