Jiang Jingmo pretended to be weak and kept his head down all the way, and was led to the palace doctor by the servants.

Seeing that she was just a servant, the court doctor took a quick look at her, sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound, and ignored her, letting her leave on her own.

This was exactly what she wanted.

When Jiang Jingmo came out of the palace doctor's office, the mansion was in chaos because of her disappearance, and guards and servants were searching everywhere.

But how could they find it?

Jiang Jingmo felt the spiritual power returning to her body, and the look in her eyes was dark and unclear. The phantom that just flashed away was nothing but her clone.

Now, the clone has been taken back by her, so naturally these guards and servants can't find any trace of her.

However, when he thought of the unconscious servant who was thrown on the beam by her, Jiang Jingmo's expression became slightly solemn.

The man's coma was only temporary. If he woke up, his current disguise would inevitably be exposed. The most urgent thing was to find a new identity for himself as soon as possible.

She lowered her head, hunched her back slightly, and walked with slow steps, trying her best to imitate the posture of the servants.

While no one was paying attention, he quietly slipped into the servant room.

Fortunately, everyone was looking for her at the time and the room was empty, so she quickly found a maid's dress.

After putting on her clothes, she swallowed another pill, and in the blink of an eye, her face transformed into that of an ordinary woman.

She came out of the servant's room, holding a broom in her hand, and swept seriously with her eyes downcast. Because her presence was very low, the guards went back and forth several times but never noticed her.

Jiang Jingmo just stood there, carefully feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, while thinking about his next move.

According to the servants, there must be some kind of formation in Ji's mansion that makes it impossible for them to escape.

Although I don't know why the Ji couple set up this formation in the mansion, if I want to rescue the people from the Jiuxiao Sect, I'm afraid I have to solve this formation first.

Otherwise, even if they were all released, they would be helpless if they couldn't escape.

After a long time, she finally noticed a place with strong spiritual energy. With an idea in her mind, she pretended nothing happened and slowly approached that direction.

However, as she walked, she realized something was wrong.

Logically speaking, if it is the eye of the formation, considering that this is in the Ji Mansion, in order to prevent being discovered, the spiritual power fluctuations at the eye of the formation would often be deliberately weakened to hide it.

But the extremely strong spiritual power she just felt seemed more like it was deliberate.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingmo stopped and turned to the side.

The secret guard who originally thought she was suspicious finally put his doubts aside and continued to keep an eye on the people going in that direction.

Jiang Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the gazes on her disappear, but at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Hey, you! Why are you hanging around here instead of working?"

Jiang Jingmo was startled, but quickly calmed himself down and slowly turned around.

At this moment, a sarcastic-looking nanny was looking her up and down.

"Why haven't I seen you before? Are you new here?"

Jiang Jingmo nodded timidly.

"That's great. The yard over there is short of staff. Go over there and clean it up!"

"Yes, I'll go right away."

The nanny pointed to the yard on the left. Jiang Jingmo was afraid of being suspected, so he nodded quickly and walked into the yard with a broom in his arms.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, Jiang Jingmo quickly glanced at the plaque above and saw three large characters inscribed on it - Kuiyiyuan.

When she stepped into the yard, she immediately felt several eyes focused on her. She lowered her eyelashes, looked respectful, and carefully swept the fallen leaves on the ground.

After a long while, those eyes slowly moved away from her. Jiang Jingmo dared to raise his eyes.

The courtyard is exquisitely and compactly arranged, and the most peculiar thing is the rockery in the corner of the courtyard. This rockery is obviously made of stones, with different heights and extraordinary momentum.

However, its peculiarities do not end there.

Two guards stood around the rockery, exuding the strength of the Earth Spirit Realm.

The two men held weapons in their hands, their eyes as sharp as eagles, constantly scanning the surroundings for everything that was happening, as if even a small fly could not get close to them.

This quickly caught Jiang Jingmo's attention.

She continued to pretend to clean the yard, but in fact she was secretly observing the surrounding environment. Soon, she found that there were far more guards here than just these two.

Jiang Jingmo felt many fluctuations of spiritual power, and these fluctuations were all hidden in the dark.

With so many guards, there must be some secrets hidden in this courtyard.

She began to pay attention to this and soon discovered the clues.

There was more than one maidservant in the yard. Whenever someone approached the rockery, the eyes hidden in the dark would be cast on the person, and the guards would shout them away.

Seeing this, Jiang Jingmo knew that this rockery must be the key.

The opportunity appeared in the daytime. When dawn broke, the servants began to hurriedly hang black cloth in the backyard. The guards in the yard were also about to change shifts.

Jiang Jingmo took advantage of this opportunity and hid in the dark. When the servants rushed to the backyard, the guards hiding in the dark also appeared one after another to prepare for the shift change.

They had supervised the place all night, and when it was their turn to take over, they were inevitably tired and sleepy. In addition, the servants had all left, so they naturally relaxed.

Jiang Jingmo took advantage of this opportunity and quietly hid behind the rockery.

She stared at the rockery in front of her, frowning slightly. Seeing that the guards were changing shifts and had no time to pay attention to this side, she tapped it lightly with her fingers.

Hearing the echo from inside, her eyes became clear.

This rockery is actually hollow, and if you want to enter, you must find the corresponding mechanism.

Jiang Jingmo covered it with his spiritual power and slowly groped along the rockery with his fingertips.

Maybe it was because the rockery had been through so many storms that the stone on it became loose. Before Jiang Jingmo could find the mechanism, a small piece of stone fell from it.

"pat-"

Jiang Jingmo's nerves instantly tensed up.

"Who is there!"

The guards outside had extremely sensitive hearing, and they shouted loudly in alertness the moment the stone fell.

Jiang Jingmo held her breath and tried her best to hide her breath, but she clearly heard the footsteps of the guards coming towards her.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Jiang Jingmo had given up hope. But at this moment, a black shadow quickly passed by her feet.

It was moving very fast, and before Jiang Jingmo could see what it was, a shadow had already enveloped her.

She was shocked and when she raised her eyes, a big hand covered her mouth. The familiar face was very close.

"Shh, be quiet."

The man's voice echoed in her mind.
