Bab 404: Not by Blood

Qingyang was already on it. "Rest assured, Princess. I've already placed spies in the households of those high-born ladies. Even the recently married County Princess Yu is being monitored. As soon as Xue Shengnan shows herself, we'll capture her."

Nanli shook her head slightly. "She has a strong command of talismanic arts. If she's hiding in the Capital, she might not reveal her true self."

Qingyang responded, "I understand. We'll pay extra attention to any new faces in these households and investigate their true identities to prevent anyone from escaping."

"That's the best we can do for now," Nanli said.
