Chapter 271 Dungeon(1/3)
Chaoyang County.
A big mansion located in the center of the county town, somewhere on the street.
Looking from the door, the mansion was profound and the pitch-black sandalwood door revealed a deep and cold atmosphere.
Outside the mansion and the open space, it is quiet.
When the people of the county town passed by here, their steps subconsciously took lighter.
There are even more people who choose to detour and don’t pass here.
No one knows who the owner behind this mansion is, but it has been circulated that the background of the owner behind the mansion is unfathomable.
Not to mention anything else, just being guarded by the densely packed guards day after day is enough to make people frightened.
With such a strict commander, even the mansion of Chaoyang County prefect does not have such treatment, right?
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility and peace of this area.
He rode a horse and quickly arrived at the door of the mansion.
The man was wearing a purple and red robe and quickly turned over and got off the horse and came to the mansion.
"Who is coming?"
The guards in front of the mansion blocked the man's way.
"I am a secret agent of the Imperial Heaven Department and have emergency information reports!"
This person quickly handed over a token.
The guards at the door checked and opened the door and let it go.
Immediately afterwards, the man quickly stepped into the mansion, walked through the long corridor, and came to the mansion hall.
"Please inform the princess, I have urgent information to report!"
This person spoke.
Soon, someone went to report it in the hall.
This person has been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Not long after, footsteps came from outside the hall.
A maid appeared in his sight.
"Princess, please come with me!"
The man quickly bowed and followed the maid in front of him.
After passing through the complicated path again, I finally arrived at a pavilion in the center of the lake.
Standing by the lake, there is a pavilion bridge standing on the Wang Jian lake from afar.
At this moment, a figure was sitting in the pavilion bridge.
The man quickly stepped forward and came to the bridge, and suddenly fell to his knees.
"I am a secret spy with the Qintian Sitian, please pay homage to the princess!"
"Get up!"
A cold sound came from the pavilion.
The spy stood up.
However, he still lowered his head and did not dare to look at the figure in the pavilion.
"Tell me, what happened!"
The cold voice of the eldest princess came from the pavilion again.
At this moment, in the pavilion.
The eldest princess was sitting on the carpet, playing with a jade pendant in her hand.
The jade pendant is crystal clear and extraordinary.
However, this jade pendant is only half.
It seems like a complete jade pendant, one parted for two.
The eldest princess looked at the mountains and rivers not far away, as if she was thinking about something, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
He glanced at the secret spy beside the bridge and frowned slightly.
This person is her secret spy with the Qintian Sitian. The information about the Tianzi is probably not a trivial matter.
Could it be...what happened in the capital?
She has been away from the capital for a while. During this period when she is not here, are the old guys in the court restless again?
"Princess, I will follow your instructions and investigate and focus on the news about the East Palace. Just a while ago, I suddenly found that there was something going on in the East Palace..."
"The prince from the East Palace left the capital not long ago, and his whereabouts are unknown..."
"A preliminary judgment is that the prince may have come to Nanzhou for unknown purposes..."
“…”
After the secret spies finished reporting, the pavilion fell into silence for a long time.
At this moment, when the eldest princess in the pavilion heard the news, there was not much emotional change in her eyes.
"His whereabouts and purpose have not been investigated yet?"
After a moment, she spoke slowly.
Listening to this cold and emotional voice, the spy by the bridge trembled all over.
He quickly said, "I deserve to die, I'm not doing anything... The prince's whereabouts are very good this time. We have worked hard to finally track down some clues..."
"The prince is surrounded by his side, so it is really difficult for me to investigate... Please forgive me."
The pavilion fell into silence again.
The eldest princess looked down at the jade pendant in her hand and gently stroked it.
The prince came to Nanzhou?
What did he come to Nanzhou for?
Could it be... it was for her?
The eldest princess's eyes gradually became cold.
Over the years, she and the prince have been in court, and have confronted each other many times openly and secretly, and their relationship has long been as strong as fire.
The prince would not miss any chance to deal with her. He had been coveting the Qintiansi in her hands for a long time.
So, this time he came to Nanzhou, probably because he was also coming for her?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess's face became colder.
"Check! Check his whereabouts, use all the Tianzi spies in the Qintian Department, and try every means. I want to know all the purposes for him to come to Nanzhou!"
"yes!"
The spy left.
But the coldness on the eldest princess's face still did not dissipate.
She squinted her eyes slightly.
Her situation is not good.
In recent years, her reputation in the court has become increasingly higher.
But at the same time, more and more people are offending.
She offended almost all the officials in the court, and there were countless memorials to impeach her secretly.
Not to mention, there was also the prince who interfered with it.
The prince coveted her, the Imperial Heaven Sense for a long time, and kept thinking about seizing power from her.
However, the Imperial Heavenly Secret is in her hands. Over the years, the power has been stable, and the prince can do nothing even if he wants to intervene.
As long as the Imperial Heavenly Secret is still in her hands one day, the prince will not dare to act rashly.
But... During this period, when she was not in the capital, she was impeached more and more in the court.
Especially in recent years, although Qintianshi has made considerable contributions.
But there has not been much progress among the major sects in the world.
A few years ago, Li Suyi came out of the Jianghu, which caused great obstacles to the Qintiansi's plan.
If the major sects cannot be taken down as soon as possible, there will be more and more opposition from the court and the middle school.
At that time, even if the father strongly supports her, he may not be able to stop the opposition of the entire court.
Thinking of this, a little coldness flashed in the princess's eyes.
To be continued...
