It was not easy to get his attention with his family around.
Therefore, they chose to lie down at the foot of the slope and wait.
It was difficult for the farmers to discover them that way. Even if someone looked over, they could react quickly and immediately shrink down the slope. That was why no one would notice them. However, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were very vigilant. Moreover, as long as Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked over, they would try to catch their attention. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue would discover them.
While trying to catch their attention, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue suddenly changed directions from their family. They had discovered them. As soon as everyone went down the mountain, they quickly followed Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked like they were waiting for everyone to go down the mountain, so they stopped walking and stayed there.
“Your Highness, Miss Jiang Yue.”
Zou Ba and Zou Shisi came over and bowed to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.
“Why are you both here together?” Xue Yan asked after letting them get up.
Jiang Yue also looked at them.
“We left Jingyue at the same time, so we came here together,” said Zou Ba.
After a pause, he reported in detail, “On the eighth of this month, our men in Jingyue discovered a group of people from the capital city escorting six people wearing black hoods into Prince Yings manor. Soon, this group of people came out and left, but the six people wearing black hoods were not escorted out.
“After that, our men saw two corpses being carried out of Prince Yings residence through the corner gate. After a while, an extremely young man dressed in a white cloak rode his horse to the main entrance of Prince Yings residence.
“However, our men heard the guards at the main entrance hurriedly kneel and welcome someone home. It should be Prince Yings youngest daughter, Princess Jin. However, not long after Princess Jin entered, a man dressed like a manservant leaped out of Prince Yings backyard.
“He seemed to be quite skilled and secretly made his way to Prince Weimin’s fief. Moreover, for some unknown reason, Jingyue began a secret martial law, and Shisi was sent back to report the new updates.
“But the next day, before the sun had even risen, Princess Jin dressed up as a man and rode out of the house. She looked as if she had something urgent to attend to. Our people followed her to see where she was going.
“However, when she was about to leave Jingyue, she turned a corner and saw eight people who were also riding horses and dressed like Princess Jin. Their horses were also very similar and those people went in eight different directions. From their backs, it was impossible to tell which one was Princess Jin.
“We lost her just like that. This means that Princess Jin must have discovered that someone was watching the Prince’s residence. It must be a suspicious place where Princess Jin is going, so I came back to report it as soon as possible.”
The six men wearing black hoods who had been sent into Prince Yings residence were the six assassins who had been captured alive.
Those two corpses should be the two assassins who had confessed.
She and Xue Yan had already anticipated that Prince Ying would carry out a major purge in Jingyue.
As for someone sneaking into Prince Weimin’s fief…
Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan.
Previously, Xue Yan had mentioned to her that Prince Weimin was a man with a different surname and was likely to be used by Prince Yi. So, was the person who had sneaked into Prince Weimin’s fief one of Prince Yi’s men?
Was it Princess Jin?
