Chapter 2194: Chapter 2194: He’s Busy Enough

The most hateful thing is that he had so many moles planted in Prince Niu’s Mansion.

Yet, Princess Consort Niu has managed to get rid of them, one way or another; some were expelled, others were killed—none were left.

However, that was nothing special; even the people that Emperor Ziyan had planted in Prince Niu’s Mansion were killed, right?

This matter, he heard about from a mole he had placed near Emperor Ziyan himself; Princess Consort Niu truly dared greatly, to even offend the emperor of Ziyan Kingdom like this.

"Although I do not know where you are, there must be some connection with Prince Niu’s Mansion, right?"

In the end, he could only send someone to keep watch over Prince Niu’s Mansion.

Though this was similar to a needle in a haystack approach, it still held some function, right?

"Huh!"

After exhaling a heavy sigh, he summoned the guard outside.

"Go, have someone keep an eye on Prince Niu’s Mansion, and report immediately if any strangers come in or out," he ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

The guard complied and then went to carry out the task.

Although they no longer had anyone inside Prince Niu’s Mansion, it was still possible to observe if any strangers were coming and going.

Only after the guard went to watch outside of Prince Niu’s Mansion did he realize that this simple task, he truly did not know how to handle it.

...

From the second day they began watching Prince Niu’s Mansion, strangers constantly came and went.

The maternal relatives of Princess Consort Niu, distant aunts and uncles with barely any connection, all visited one after another.

The guards nearly cursed in frustration.

She was a princess consort after all; couldn’t she display some class and be mindful of her own status?

Any Tom, Dick, or Harry claiming to be her relative was let through the doors?

Who does that?

Of course, they knew, it must be Princess Consort Niu knowing that someone was keeping an eye on Prince Niu’s Mansion, and so she purposely behaved this way.

But what could they do about it?

They had to keep watch as instructed, and they had to report as required.

Yet truthfully, they all understood that with so many people flowing into Prince Niu’s Mansion, who would know if among them were the ones they sought?

There might be, or there might be none at all.

"How is it going?"

Inside Prince Niu’s Mansion, Princess Consort Niu immediately asked her nanny, who had just come in from outside.

"My princess, the Eighth Prince has already sent many people out to investigate those coming into our mansion, it seems he will be kept busy," the nanny reported back to her mistress.

The watch over the mansion by guards from the Eighth Prince’s Mansion had been detected from the start.

After all, everyone was a cultivator here, finding minor fluctuations in spiritual energy was possible.

Besides, the street outside Prince Niu’s Mansion was usually deserted, so the sudden presence of people, even in disguise, was something they were bound to notice, wasn’t it?

Thus, people from the Eighth Prince’s Mansion continued to keep ’open and legitimate’ watch.

Meanwhile, they kept sending groups of people to the mansion; it was just a matter of seeing who could outlast whom.

"However, my princess, we don’t have many relatives outside," she reminded her mistress.

There were only so many relatives, after all; it wasn’t possible for strangers to keep coming into the mansion forever.

"What does it matter, that shameless thing, doesn’t he have many women in his back courtyard? Have them invite their own relatives over, we’ll take it batch by batch," she
