Zi Sui quietly slipped out from behind the carriage, and using the carriage's cover, she trotted all the way to the depths of the alley and knocked on the secret door.

When the people inside answered the door, Zisui quickly recounted Lin Xuerong's order and asked them to immediately send people to the other two families for help.

"Miss, this slave has already passed on the message."

Zi Sui slipped back into the car and reported to Lin Xuerong in a low voice.

Lin Xuerong felt a little more relaxed after seeing that after such a long time, the people who controlled Hesi just blocked the way and refused to let them go, and did not force them to board the car.

The other party was probably worried about Duke Li's face and could not disobey his superiors' orders, so he had a stalemate with them.

In this case, after a while, Duke Yongguo and Wu Popo come forward, and the three controllers of North Street are united to the outside world, and the Control He Company will retreat.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuerong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Zisui, "Don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."

Just opposite the alley entrance, on the third floor of a restaurant, Gu Zhao was sitting by the window, slowly spinning his teacup with a smile on his lips.

From her position, as long as she turned her head, she could have a clear view of everything happening below.

Including how Zi Sui sneaked out from behind the carriage and knocked on Hong Xiuzhao's back door, he could see everything clearly.

Sitting opposite her was Kang Jian, the eunuch of the East Palace, who was wearing casual clothes.

Gu Zhao put down his teacup and said, "Eunuch Kang, it's time for me to appear."

Kang Jian cupped his hands with a complex look on his face.

Looking at Gu Zhao's back walking leisurely downstairs, Kang Jian sighed secretly and mourned for Lin Xuerong.

I really don’t understand why Lin Xuerong insists on having trouble with Gu Zhao.

Obviously it should be a great thing for Duke Li to take in such a powerful adopted daughter.

As a result, Lin Xuerong insisted on blaming someone's innocence, so she was so anxious that she directly pushed her down into the arms of the Prince of Xinyang County with her backhand.

After suffering such a big loss, she still refuses to behave and is still looking for trouble - now it's good that the position of the Crown Princess has nothing to do with her at all.

Personnel from the Crane Control Division and soldiers from the Military and Horse Division surrounded Lin Xuerong's carriage.

Lin Xuerong became more and more uneasy, hoping only that Duke Yong's Mansion and the Witch's Qingyi Hall would arrive in time.

Zisui couldn't sit still at all. She kept sticking her head out of the car window to observe the changes around her.

"Miss, there are more and more people!"

"Miss, why aren't the people from Duke Yong's Mansion and Qingyi Hall here yet?"

"Miss, will they not dare to come?"

"Miss……"

Lin Xuerong finally couldn't help but shouted, "Shut up!"

Why hadn't she noticed before that Zisui was so unworthy of publicity?

But Lin Xuerong herself felt that the time was extremely long.

The originally soft cushion under her body now looked like nails growing out, making her restless.

Lin Xuerong finally couldn't help but move her body, got behind the gap in the curtain in front, and secretly looked out.

The streets outside the alley were filled with people from the Control Bureau.

They had fierce faces and pressed their hands on the handles of their swords, as if they were about to draw their swords at any moment and kill the enemy.

The man standing in the center is not tall, has an ordinary appearance, and has a gloomy face.

Lin Xuerong looked at them and felt that her legs were weak and her heart was filled with fear.

As she grew up, no matter where she went, she would see fawning smiling faces and hear words of praise and compliments. She thought she was at the top of the world and could control the fate of most people.

Today was the first time she felt the fear brought about by such force.

At this moment, the ordinary-looking official from the Crane Control Division seemed to sense Lin Xuerong's peeping gaze and turned his head suddenly!

Those eyes full of murderous intent looked at her from afar, frightening Lin Xuerong until her mind went blank.

She suddenly retracted her hand holding the curtain and sat down on the ground, her heart beating like a drum!

"Miss, what's wrong with you..." Zi Sui quickly stepped forward to help her, but she couldn't move Lin Xuerong even with all her strength.

It took Lin Xuerong a long time to regain her consciousness. She felt the coldness on her back. She broke out in a cold sweat and wet the clothes underneath.

She clenched her fists.

Is this the Konkakuji?

A secret service organization like the legendary Jinyiwei?

It's really scary that a seemingly ordinary low-level official has such a formidable aura.

Why is Gu Zhao so lucky to be able to join and become a new celebrity?

This is so unfair!

Just when Lin Xuerong was indignant, she suddenly heard countless people shouting in unison, "I've seen you, sir!"

The uniform and loud shouts startled both Lin Xuerong and Zi Sui.

They feel like frightened birds, always frightened by the movement outside.

Lin Xuerong gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice, "What the hell!"

But he still couldn't help his curiosity, lowered his body, pushed aside the curtains, and peeked out again.

It seemed like someone was coming.

All the personnel of the Crane Control Department bowed to the visitor, like a wheat field bending down, neatly.

Lin Xuerong opened her eyes wide and felt the respect radiating from these people.

Is it a big shot from the Kōkaku Division?

She couldn't help but widen the gap in the curtain a little, trying to see clearly who the visitor was, and see if she could find a way to talk through the visitor and let her pass.

The crowd gathered around the street suddenly separated, and the tall and straight figure of the visitor became clearer and clearer, and the pattern of colorful clouds and cranes on the chest was even more eye-catching.

Lin Xuerong looked up in disbelief and saw that the fair and clear face under the black gauze hat was actually the Gu Zhao she had just thought of!

Gu Zhao waved to everyone with a gentle expression, "Thank you for your hard work! I heard that traces of Dong Hao's spy were found?"

When Lin Xuerong saw the man with an ordinary face, she stepped forward very respectfully and reported, "Replying to your lord, I found a suspicious carriage, claiming that it contained the female family members of Duke Li's palace, and refused to get out of the car for inspection."

"How could the female relatives of Duke Li's Palace come out from the back door of a place like Hongxiuzhao? My subordinates suspected that this was Donghao's spy trying to escape in the name of Duke Li's Palace.

"But they have the title of courtesy to the Duke. I can't make a decision for the moment, so I can only ask your Excellency to come and make a decision."
