The man ordered the guards to take Ji Xingzhi and Su Yang away. As Ji Xingzhi was leaving, she overheard the man say, "Go and investigate the backgrounds of these two children. It would be best if you could find out their entire ancestry. Their appearance is too coincidental. There are so many people trying to get people into Prince Xun's mansion. We need to investigate carefully to avoid wasting time and effort just to make things easier for others."
"Yes, sir," said the guard.
Ji Xingzhi was thinking as she walked. Prince Xun's Mansion was the residence of Hua Yihen. The man just now meant to send her and Su Yang to Prince Xun as his spies. To be on the safe side, the man ordered the guards to carefully investigate their identities and backgrounds. Only after confirming that they were correct would they be considered for admission to Prince Xun's Mansion. This was the real reason why Uncle Qin took great pains to have them come to Dongping County.
With this man as a stepping stone, they can enter Prince Xun's Mansion without any effort. As for whether they can get the attention of Prince Xun, it depends on their own luck.

Ji Xingzhi and Su Yang were taken into a room, and the servants brought them some food and then left.
Su Yang leaned close to Ji Xingzhi's ear and asked, "Why are you still wearing men's clothes?"
Ji Xingzhi replied in a low voice: "They thought I was a man, I didn't explain."
"Then what should we do? I only heard that Hua Yihen is a pedophile, but I haven't heard that he is a homosexual?" Su Yang frowned.
"Isn't it better if there isn't one? I'll leave this difficult task of seducing Hua Yihen to you, Miss Su. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you." Ji Xingzhi patted Su Yang's arm comfortingly.
Su Yang knocked Ji Xingzhi's hand away and threatened, "Who needs your protection? Do you believe me when I tell them you're pretending to be a man?"
"You can say it or not. Let's see whether you, the "orphan" of the Su family, will die miserably, or I, a commoner with no background, will die faster?" Ji Xingzhi shrugged meaninglessly.
Su Yang's eyes widened: "The Su family has already been exterminated. Do you think they will believe what you say?"
"Whether to tell it or not is up to me, and whether to believe it or not is up to them. It depends on whether you dare or not." Ji Xingzhi showed a kind smile on his face.
Su Yang's face darkened. Not to mention, she really didn't dare to say it. There is no smoke without fire. If she had any suspicion and investigated, and if the Su family was implicated, she would be blamed even if she died.
Su Yang glared at Ji Xingzhi helplessly. What had possessed him at that time that he told everything to this little girl whom he had only known for less than a day, and even exposed his past. And she just gave him two words, "Xingzhi".
In fact, when Ji Xingzhi told Su Yang her name, it was equivalent to telling her everything. Su Yang always felt that the name Xingzhi sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember it. She didn't know whether she didn't dare to think about it or felt it was impossible. Anyway, she had never thought about it in that direction.
Seeing that Su Yang was silent, Ji Xingzhi took a piece of food and put it in Su Yang's bowl and said, "It's settled."
Su Yang ate his meal silently, turning a deaf ear to Ji Xingzhi's words. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't let himself starve.
In the following days, the man may have found out that there was nothing suspicious about Ji Xingzhi and Su Yang's identities, so he told them his own identity.
It turned out that the man was the Prime Minister of Huazhou Kingdom, Jin Xizi. He was a man second only to the emperor and could be on par with the God of War Hua Yihen. It was naturally easy for him to send someone to Prince Xun's Mansion, but the door of Prince Xun's Mansion was not so easy to enter.
