When they arrived at the palace, Kan Chaoyan and his companions went straight to the imperial study.

The emperor only summoned Kan Chaoyan to meet him.

Captain Liu and Mu Nanjin were waiting in the yard outside.

Mu Nanjin suddenly said, "Is it not going well?"

"What?" Captain Liu didn't understand what she meant: "What's wrong?"

"Since the Fourth Prince has not come to Beijing, we can no longer take their things."

"..." Captain Liu quickly looked around and lowered his voice and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk about this."

"oh."

Mu Nanjin didn't say it, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

[The four princes must have discovered that the emperor knew they were planning a rebellion, so they did not dare to come to the capital to meet him in person.]

Captain Liu felt that Mu Nanjin was wrong.

After all, not many people knew that the emperor wanted to investigate the Fourth Prince, so it was impossible for someone to tip off the Fourth Prince.

On the surface, the relationship between the emperor and the four princes has always been close, and the four princes probably did not guess for a while that the emperor had discovered their intention to rebel.

As for the reason why the Fourth Prince did not come to Beijing, it was most likely because of Mu Nanjin. Not only could she express her true feelings, but she could also tell many unknown secrets. The Fourth Prince must have been worried that after coming to Beijing, Mu Nanjin would tell others about their rebellion, so he sent his son to Beijing instead.

In fact, for them, it doesn’t matter whether the Fourth Prince comes to Beijing or not.

What they really wanted was to find evidence from Mu Nanjin's thoughts that the Fourth Prince wanted to rebel.

After a cup of tea, Kan Chaoyan came out of the imperial study.

"Mu girl, I have a mission for you."

Mu Nanjin asked: "What mission?"

"It's to help the emperor select a few loyal and reliable secret guards."

Kan Chaoyan wanted to use Mu Nanjin to identify which secret guard was loyal to the emperor.

"Let me choose the secret guards?"

How could such an important matter be handed over to her, a ninth-rank Jinyiwei?

Captain Liu explained: "The Jinyiwei has a lot of work to do, but there are only a few jobs you can do. Whether it's catching criminals or protecting people, you can't do it. I can only pick some easy jobs for you. If you can't even do the job of a secret guard, I can only send you as a coolie to clear the sewers."

Mu Nanjin was speechless: "Clear the sewer? The Jinyiwei also wants to clear the sewer?"

"It's the Ministry of Works' job, but they are often short of staff, so they would ask us, the Imperial Guards, to lend them people."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

Kan Chaoyan led them to the martial arts arena and shouted to the secret guards who were training: "Everyone come to me."

The secret guards quickly stopped training and came to Kan Chaoyan and the others and stood in the first ten rows.

[Wow wow wow wow wow——so many muscular men——]

Mu Nanjin's eyes lit up when he looked at the shirtless men.

[The high chest, the tight eight-pack abs, and the muscles full of explosive power are simply tempting women to commit crimes. ]

[Comrade Lao Kan, you are my second parents. Next time you have such a good job, remember not to forget me. ]

Everyone: “…”

Kan Chaoyan coughed lightly and said, "The Emperor wants to re-select the secret guards. Whether you stay or go depends on whether you can pass the test of the wooden guards."

All the secret guards looked at Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin also looked at them.

[Yeah, very good. The secret guards all look good, with strong features and sharp eyes...]

Captain Liu's mouth twitched. This was a selection of secret guards, not a talent show.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her: "Mu Nanjin, you must choose your secret guards carefully. If you choose the wrong one, your life will be gone."
