Ji Ling Xue laughed, "Aren't you afraid I will report you keeping the mine a secret and forging weapons to your brother emperor?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen put on a confident smile: "I believe you won't."

 

Ji Ling Xue was stunned, that man was very egotistical.

 

She heard Xiao Yi Chen continue saying: "We're husband and wife, if I thrive you thrive, if something happens to me, you wouldn't be in a good place?"

 

Ji Ling Xue also thought of this reason, since Xiao Yi Chen was taking this path, she will share this secret of his, "Xiao Yi Chen..."

 

Ji Ling Xue took out an embroidered bag giving it to Xiao Yi Chen, "I found this in my good younger sister's room, do you want to take a look?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen took it directly placing it into his bosom, not caring what was inside, he was already guarded against Ji Yu Qing. 

 

The two returned to the rear courtyard of the authorities office to rest, Ji Ling Xue had just entered the house, Mo Xiang and a secret guard as dark as the night stepped forward to greet her respectfully.

 

"This subordinate secret guard Ru Ge greets the mistress, this is the subordinate's personal deed, from now on this subordinate is the princess's man, I will only listen to the princess."

 

Secret guard Ru Ge?! Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, taking the personal deed and putting it away, she didn't think Xiao Yi Chen was so efficient at his work.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Your name is Ru Ge?"

 

The secret guard shook his head: "This subordinate only has a code name, Ru Ge was given by the prince, prince said this subordinate will do everything that Ru Ge does."

 

Ji Ling Xue curled her lips, he thought changing a secret guard's name to Ru Ge could replace Ru Ge, Ru Ge had left, there wouldn't be another Ru Ge.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Fine, I have nothing for you to do, go rest first."

 

The secret guard Ru Ge left, Mo Xiang brought over with hot water for Ji Ling Xue to rest, she saw Ji Ling Xue take out quite a few pieces of gold from her sleeve, Mo Xiang stared at them, "Mistress, this is...you went to dig for gold?"

 

Ji Ling Xue laughed, "Prince rewarded me, put it away, when you marry you can use it as dowry." Xiao Yi Chen had stopped the news of the mine from spreading, thus Mo Xiang and the others didn't know about it.

 

Mo Xiang's face reddened, hurriedly saying: "This servant won't marry, this servant wants to always stay with mistress."

 

Ji Ling Xue smiled, "What's good about being an old maid, after marrying you can still serve me."

 

Mo Xiang bashfully lowered her head without speaking, Ji Ling Xue didn't carry on with this topic, putting the gold away she went to bed afterwards.

 

The next day, Ji Ling Xue was woken up by Xiao Yi Chen, rubbing her eyes, Ji Ling Xue said: "Are we going back?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, last night he had been in the mine handling matters, he only returned at dawn, he had wanted to sleep a while, seeing Ji Ling Xue sleep so well, his sleepiness had gone away, only when the sun rose did he shake her awake.

 

Xiao Yi Chen took the map asking: "Has Ru Ge seen this map as well?"

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "What's wrong, is there a problem?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen shook his head, there was nothing wrong, only the traps and defences of the prince's residence had to be completely changed.

 

Ji Ling Xue appreciated in satisfaction Xiao Yi Chen's rather poor expression, "Ai, your imperial concubine is living off you but helping an outsider, how do you plan to deal with her?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, remaining silent over Ji Ling Xue's idiom, "Use a long line to catch a big fish, you understand right?"

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "This is the reason you put Ji Yu Qing by your side, you know who she belongs to?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen shook his head, "I still don't know, don't go outside if there's nothing important do you understand? Even though this prince has secret guards by your side, but in the end they're not as good as the defence in the residence."

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, seeing Xiao Yi Chen was so concerned for her, she will forgive him for making use of her.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "Oh right, Zi Su, why did you accept Zi Su at that time?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Zi Su told this prince she was a person of the emperor."

 

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, it seems the emperor didn't trust his younger brother very much, placing so many spies by his side.

 

Ji Ling Xue glanced at Xiao Yi Chen sympathetically, saying: "I can finally experience your grievances."

 

Xiao Yi Chen suddenly reached out his hand, like petting a puppy he rubbed the top of Ji Ling Xue's head, fortunately Ji Ling Xue had smartly chose to play the fool at that time, otherwise she would also have been taken as a spy placed by Xiao Yi Mo.

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "What happened here, you can't tell anyone."

 

Last night he had confined any news.

 

Ji Ling Xue made a lips sealed gesture, winking, showing she understood.

When Ji Ling Xue returned to the residence, Ji Yu Qing with Zi Su came to pay their respects.

 

Ji Yu Qing said: "Older sister, I heard you went to pay respect to your mother yesterday, nothing happened to you, why did you only return today?" She had deliberately come today to make inquiries, surprisingly Ji Ling Xue had successfully escaped two assassinations, she really was capable. She had heard the prince was in his study working until very night into the night, how has her good luck not run out?

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "There was a lot of weed on mother's tombstone, Mo Xiang and I cleared it up, when we left we saw the play courtyard had a new play so we went to listen."

 

Ji Yu Qing said: "Older sister really likes to play, if prince finds out he'll be angry, next time you shouldn't do this."

 

Zi Su said: "Princess, it's good you're well, I heard it's not been very safe inside the city lately, and there has been several cases of women suddenly disappearing, princess shouldn't spend the night outside anymore."

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, thanking Zi Su for her concern, she got Mo Xiang to prepare some pastries to give to them.

 

Ji Yu Qing took the offered pastries: "Thank you older sister, I also prepared a present for you." As she spoke she passed over a soft cotton cushion saying, "Older sister, the weather's turned cold, you'll be a bit warmer sitting on this cushion."

 

Ji Ling Xue indicated for Mo Xiang to take it, smiling in thanks, "This princess is very moved by younger sister's consideration."

 

Ji Yu Qing added a sentence in her mind, inside the soft cotton cushion contained the green thorns this imperial concubine had gotten Zi Ye to pick in the mountains, I can't harm you, I'll harm your bottom!

 

Seeing Ji Yu Qing and Zi Su off, Ji Ling Xue leaned her body backwards stretching: "Fighting and scheming against each other in the rear courtyard isn't suitable for me, Mo Xiang, burn that cotton cushion for me!"

 

Mo Xiang lowered her head playing with the cotton cushion in her hands: "Princess, it's a pity to burn it, cotton is expensive this year."

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "If you like it I'll give it to you."

 

Mo Xiang nodded, her hand rubbing over the cotton cushion, the next moment she issued out a shriek, her finger had been pricked, a drop of blood flowed out.

 

Mo Xiang placed on injured finger into her mouth in confusion: "Princess, there are actually thorns in the cushion, it hurts."

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "That's why I said to burn it."

 

Ji Yu Qing had lost a patch of hair, if she didn't seek revenge for this she would find it hard to bear, the cotton cushion was just a small warning.

 

Ji Ling Xue supported her head in boredom, Mo Xiang said: "Princess, in a few days time it'll be the prince's birthday, you haven't prepared a present for prince right, the two of them have prepared already, if you're the only one who doesn't give the prince a gift, you'll be the talk of others again."

 

Ji Ling Xue's eyelids twitched: "Xiao Yi Chen's birthday is approaching, let's prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for him only."

 

Mo Xiang's lips twitched, princess, you can't be so insincere.

 

Ji Ling Xue crossed her legs swaying a little she asked: "Do you know what presents the two of them prepared?"

 

Mo Xiang said: "This servant asked around, Zi Su prepared an item of clothing, imperial concubine prepared a pair of boots, a belt."

 

Mo Xiang added in her mind: Princess see, aren't their gifts very thoughtful, you will lose to them like this.

 

JI Ling Xue gave an oh, waving her hand she said: "Fine, I understand, you can retreat."

 

Mo Xiang gave an oh, turning around she left, as soon as she left she came across the secret guard Ru Ge hanging upside down from the beam, she was so scared she patted her chest.

 

Mo Xiang said: "You...have you got nothing to do, in broad daylight hiding here to scare people."

 

A cold sweat slid down the forehead of the  secret guard Ru Ge, he really didn't have anything to do, princess seemed to have forgotten about him.

 

The secret guard Ru Ge said: "Young lady Mo Xiang, why hasn't princess found me to do anything?" He had originally been sent by the prince to keep an eye on Ru Ge's movements, Ru Ge and princess had a good relationship, why was it different with him.

 

Mo Xiang said: "Why are you so panicked, princess still doesn't know you, she's not used to using you."

 

The secret guard Ru Ge rubbed his nose, flipping over he landed on the roof taking in the wind, leaving the dumbfounded Mo Xiang.

 

At night, the secret guard Ru Ge who was sitting on the roof basking in the moon and breathing in fresh air was called into the room by Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue asked: "If I tell you to do something, will you tell your prince?"

 

The secret guard Ru Ge said: "Naturally no, from the moment this subordinate handed over the personal deed, princess became this subordinate's mistress, this subordinate only listens to princess, whatever princess orders this subordinate to do, this subordinate will do it."

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, he said this, but she couldn't trust it, she needed to continue to observe him.

 

Ji Ling Xue again asked: "How is your light martial arts?"

 

The secret guard Ru Ge answered: "This subordinate's light martial arts is one of the best among the secret guards in the prince's residence." Apart from not being able to surpass the prince.

 

Ji Ling Xue nodded, it seems Xiao Yi Chen had given her his most competent subordinate, guarantee her safety.

 

Ji Ling Xue again asked: "Were you by the prince's side a lot previously?"

 

The secret guard Ru Ge nodded: "Yes, but this subordinate has always been hidden, I didn't have much contact with the prince." So, if you want to hear personal matters from the prince from me, I'm very sorry, even though I'm your subordinate, but I wouldn't betray the prince.

 

Ji Ling Xue gave an oh: "From now on you're called An Ge."

 

An Ge nodded, "Subordinate An Ge, thank you princess for the name."

 

Ji Ling Xue waved her hand at him, a trace of a smile on her lips, it made An Ge's back turn cold, will princess get him to do something shameful, to test his loyalty?

 

Ji Ling Xue passed the two paper dolls from the table to An Ge, saying something into his ear, a layer of cold sweat appeared on An Ge's forehead.

 

An Ge: Princess, you're too close to this subordinate, if the prince's sees, this subordinate will be called toast Ge...

 

How did Ji Ling Xue know of An Ge's thoughts, finishing what she needed to say, she saw An Ge was lost in thought, she raised her hand to pat his shoulder, "Hey, what I said, did you understand?"

 

An Ge's heart leaped, taking a few steps back hurriedly he nodded: "This subordinate understand, I will deal with it right away."
