After returning to the imperial palace.
The Hidden Guard of Long Xiyuan stepped forward to report.
"Emperor, as you expected, the identities of Miss Jing and her entourage are absolutely not simple."
"Just now, we tried to take advantage of the chaos to search the house, but discovered that they have additional guards hidden in the shadows."
"Afraid of exposing our presence, we did not act rashly."
Long Xiyuan held a wine cup, gently swirling it.
"Oh?" He smiled, "This just got more interesting."
Today he went to Duke Huan Mansion not just to make others believe that Miss Jing was now on the same side as him.
He also wanted to probe their true intentions.
After all, these people are truly attention-grabbing.
Amidst Long Xiyuan's tests, Miss Jing appeared uninterested in power and wealth.
Instead, she seemed indifferent to the rewards he offered.
Long Xiyuan was then fully convinced that these people were definitely not ordinary merchants.
