Chapter 93 Yuwei is the master's personal attendant
Seeing that she was confident, Jiang Xue said, "But I need it urgently. How many days can you call the person over?"
Lu Qiongshuang chuckled and said mysteriously, "I actually have a candidate right now, and he's in the capital."
Jiang Xue's heart was filled with alarm and she said, "Don't tell me you're going to look for your dear senior brother."
Instead of calling Jingye, she might as well pack up and go to Suzhou on her own.
Lu Qiongshuang shook her head, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's better not to mention my senior brother. It's been so many days, and he hasn't come to look for me once."
"I actually brought a friend with me when I returned to Beijing this time..."
Jiang Xue asked, "What friend? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"
Lu Qiongshuang scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "He's just an ordinary friend in the underworld..."
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Xue asked suspiciously, "You brought your friend back to Beijing, why don't you see him?"
Lu Qiongshuang muttered, "He insisted on coming here, saying that he wanted to see the world. Can I still bring him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Father and mother will break my legs..."
Jiang Xue looked ambiguous and asked tentatively, "You don't want to discuss marriage. Is it related to this person?"
Lu Qiongshuang waved her hands repeatedly and said, "What are you thinking, cousin? This man is my brother. I don't have any romantic feelings for him."
Jiang Xue teased, "When did your uncle and aunt give you another brother? How come I didn't know?"
Lu Qiongshuang pretended to be angry and said, "Cousin, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't help you with this."
"Alright, alright, let's get back to the point and talk quickly."
Lu Qiongshuang thought for a moment and said, "Seeing is believing. I'll find him in a few days and let my cousin see him and then she'll know."
Seeing her mysterious look, Jiang Xue did not ask any more questions and only said, "Tomorrow at the latest. Also, I need someone with very fast feet. I am a little anxious about this matter. I am afraid that if I am late, I will lose the opportunity."
Lu Qiongshuang nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that cousin will be satisfied."
Jiang Xue consoled her earnestly a few more times until Lu Qiongshuang promised that she would never run away from home again, at least until Lu Xiang recovered from his illness. Only then did Jiang Xue feel at ease to leave the Xiang Mansion.
When the Gu Mansion's carriage leaves the Prime Minister's Residence and heads to the Prince Consort's Residence, it will pass by the Temple Clothing House.
For some unknown reason, Jiang Xue asked Fu Dong to open the window of the carriage and look out.
The Jijing guards wearing armor stood in a row and guarded under the courtyard wall.
In front of the Temple Clothing Hall, there were several guards in purple and black armor standing. Presumably, they were the Yuwei that Jing Ye had told her about.
These feather guards were dressed in uniform, and their eyes showed vigilance and murderous intent.
It seems that since Jing Ye was able to fight his way to the position of regent, his subordinates must be no ordinary people.
Jiang Xue reached her hand to her waist, where she wore a round jade pendant.
She stroked the jade token and couldn't help being a little absent-minded.
She and Jingye asked for a simpler method of communication so that they wouldn't have to go to Wanbaolou every time, which would inevitably attract attention after a long time.
Jiang Xue opened the bottle of stuff Jing Ye gave her and smelled it. The smell was very similar to the smell she had smelled in Lu Qiongshuang's hair and on Jing Ye's body. She guessed that this thing might be from the East China Sea and was used as an attractant to contact the bird called "Banban" that Lu Qiongshuang had mentioned before.
In fact, Jing Ye only needed to do this step to fulfill her request.
Jiang Xue kept stroking the jade token in her hand.
Why did Jing Ye give her the token that could command his guards?
She couldn't understand, could it be that the interests between them had become so closely related?
"Your Highness, are you going back home directly?"
Fu Dong saw her staring at the Temple Clothing Hall in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
Your Highness, please don't go looking for that damn prince again.
Jiang Xue came back to her senses, put down the jade token, and said calmly: "Go back."
When Jiang Xue arrived at Wenqingxuan, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw Xiaochun walking out of a room in the corridor.
When Xiaochun saw Jiang Xue, he hurried over to her and whispered, "Your Highness, the people are here."
Jiang Xue asked, "Is it someone from the palace?"
"No," Xiaochun shook her head and whispered, "They said they came here on the orders of their master. I don't know where they entered the courtyard from. I remembered your instructions and settled them down."
Jing Ye really kept his word and acted very quickly.
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "I'll go over and ask a few questions first. When the people from the palace arrive, you bring them to the yard immediately."
Xiaochun nodded and went to wait at the door of Gu's house.
Jiang Xue walked to the door of the wing room, thought for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.
There were four people in the room, wearing chest armor of similar style to the people in the Temple Clothing Shop just now, except that the guards in the Temple Clothing Shop wore purple clothes, while these four people wore dark green clothes.
When the four saw Jiang Xue, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Two men and two women.
Jiang Xue turned around and closed the door, then slowly said, "Are you all here on the orders of the prince?"
"Yes." The four of them answered together.
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Your prince has already told you what to do. I have one more thing to tell you. No matter what, you must protect Mother Gu's safety and send her to Jijing alive."
One of the men said, "The master has given the same instructions, so please rest assured."
"You must also pay attention to your own safety. The people traveling with you this time are all from the palace. They only think that you are guards and servants arranged by me, and they don't know your true identities," Jiang Xue said in a deep voice, "You must pay attention to concealing your identity to ensure your own safety."
The four of them nodded. Jiang Xue suddenly remembered something and continued, "But since the prince sent you here, you must all have some outstanding qualities."
"I've heard the prince mention the Feathered Guards before. You all seem to be very skilled - you must be one of the Feathered Guards, right?"
The four of them looked at each other but did not answer.
Jiang Xue reached out and played with the jade pendant on her waist.
One of them saw the pattern of the jade token clearly, and immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, saying: "Reporting to the noble, we are only shadow guards. The feather guards are all the master's personal followers, and they have all been cruelly selected. They are feared even in the country of Gan. Our skills are really far behind them."
When Jiang Xue heard this, she raised her eyebrows.
She was very surprised. So Jing Ye actually handed over the token that could command his most trusted guards to her just like that?
She tried her best to suppress her surprise, forced a smile, and said gently: "You are all by the prince's side, so you must be elite. Get up quickly."
"But your attire..." Jiang Xue looked at the four people's attire and said, "I'll ask the maid to bring you clothes to change into later - what are your names?"
The four of them introduced themselves one after another, which made Jiang Xue feel a little amused and helpless.
There are two male shadow guards, one is called Shadow Three and the other is called Shadow Five.
There are two female shadow guards, one is called Shadow Seven and the other is called Shadow Nine.
"Your master named his family like this..." Jiang Xue said with a sigh, "Is it so unruly?"
I even specifically picked out odd-numbered ones for her.
"Miss Yingqi and Miss Yingjiu, please pretend to be my close servants. Let's call one Xiangqi and the other Xiangjiu. If you are worried about calling the wrong names, you can call them Aqi and Ajiu. The pronunciations are similar, so you don't have to worry about being exposed." Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Ying Qi and Ying Jiu immediately said, "Yes. Xiang Qi/Xiang Jiu greets His Highness."
"As for Shadow Three and Shadow Five," Jiang Xue said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You can come up with easy-to-remember names and let each other know."
Shadow Three and Shadow Five also nodded.
After Jiang Xue finished giving the instructions, she turned around and left the room to look for Fu Dong.
"Go get some of Xiangyun and Xianglu's clothes, as well as the clothes of the guards in the backyard, and bring them in for the people in the house to change. After they are changed, bring them to the yard and they will be considered as people in my yard. You can give them instructions as usual."
Fudong nodded alertly and immediately went to prepare clothes.
