Chapter 967 Trap
Master Tiancan didn't want to beat around the bush with Gu Chan and spoke directly.

"Now Zuo Yun and the Thirteenth Princess have hidden the Ninth Prince, and no one can find him. If you don't take this thing to save him, how will the Queen Mother and the Emperor have the chance to kill him?"

"Sure enough, this is a trap, right?" Gu Chan sneered.

"Yes, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth about this trap, because even if you know it is a trap, you will definitely fall into it. It's that simple." Master Tiancan said indifferently.

Gu Chan looked at the letter in front of her and for a moment she didn't know whether she should take it or not.

Master Tiancan said disdainfully, "Compared to a little girl like you, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are more afraid of the youngest Prince Chan of Tiancang Country, so I can just give you this method. As for whether you have the ability to save the Ninth Prince and take him away, that's your business."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for the reminder." Gu Chan said in a deep voice.

After saying that, she reached out with a stiff face, picked up the letter and put it in her sleeve.

Master Tiancan said coldly, "I have fulfilled my promise to Lord Chan. When we meet again, you and I will be enemies. So it is up to you to decide what to do next."

"Master Imperial Master, do I still have a choice now?" Gu Chan asked.

"If you do not go against the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and choose to help them kill the Ninth Prince to show your sincerity in surrendering, they might even appoint you to a position and ask you to help them suppress hostile forces." Master Tiancan reminded.

Gu Chan laughed, stood up and said coldly, "I can do anything, but I won't be a running dog. It's just a death, right? At most, I'll be a beautiful woman again in 18 years, damn it!"

After saying that, Gu Chan turned around and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.

Master Tiancan sat there, watching her leaving back, a cruel grin on his face.

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast in Zuichunlou, Gu Chan took a carriage to the princess's mansion.

What made her speechless was that when she arrived outside the princess's mansion, she found that the mansion was already surrounded by hundreds of imperial guards.

Not only was there a crowd of people outside, but even inside the mansion there were people standing in three layers inside and outside.

"Damn it, this damn national master, no wonder he was willing to give me the treatment method last night. After all this time, this place has been surrounded by people." Gu Chan cursed inwardly while hiding in the carriage.

Ningxiang, who was sitting in front of the carriage, said, "Miss Gu, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? You wait here and I'll go and die. Anyway, the Queen Mother and the Emperor want me to go in and find the Ninth Prince." Gu Chan said unhappily.

After saying this, she lowered her face with a sullen look and walked straight ahead.

The guards on duty had already received orders that if a woman who looked exactly like Prince Chan came, she would be allowed in directly without any need to be stopped.

So when Gu Chan arrived at the door, the leader of the Imperial Guard came forward and saluted enthusiastically, saying, "Miss Gu, you are finally here. We have been guarding here for more than half a month. Don't mention how uncomfortable it is! Please come in!"

"Tsk! Since it's so hard to defend, why don't you just charge in?" Gu Chan said coldly.

"How dare we! The Thirteenth Princess's soul-stealing skills are so powerful. She is the emperor's younger sister, and even the Imperial Preceptor is her master. How dare we, as servants, disrespect her?" said the leader of the Imperial Guards with a wry smile.

Gu Chan glared at him fiercely and walked in with anger suppressed. After she entered the princess's mansion, all the guards breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as long as they could find the Ninth Prince and kill him, they would have nothing to worry about. The only thing they were afraid of was not being able to find the Ninth Prince and kill him!
In the lobby of the front yard of the princess's mansion, when Gu Chan came in, she saw Zuo Yun and the Thirteenth Princess hugging each other, lying on a recliner and showing their love.

There were two maids serving them, who kept putting fruits into their mouths. They looked like they were enjoying themselves as much as they could.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Gu Chan walked forward and coughed three times.

Zuo Yun propped himself up and looked up, saying in surprise, "Oh my God! This really looks exactly like Prince Chan! When the Imperial Master told me this before, I didn't quite believe it!"

"Oh yes! Isn't this the female version of Gu Chan?" Princess Thirteen also joked.

"It seems that you all already know about the matter between me and Prince Chan, right?" Gu Chan said.

Zuo Yun nodded and said, "Of course. We have also read the secret letter sent by General Long. We all know about the great things you two did in the capital of Diyue Nation."

"Then stop talking nonsense. Tell me where the Ninth Prince is so I can get the red spider lily herb to save him." Gu Chan urged.

Zuo Yun said in a disdainful manner, "He is not in Kyoto now. After we brought him out of the Imperial Master's Mansion, we asked Yuan Jie to take him away. As for where Yuan Jie is now, we have no idea."

"I don't understand, can you two get him out of the Imperial Master's Mansion smoothly?" Gu Chan said doubtfully.

She wanted to ask Master Tiancan about this last night, but she didn't want to stay in the Imperial Master's Mansion for long. It was not a good place for her.

Zuo Yun said speechlessly, "Can't we take advantage of the absence of the Imperial Master to bring the Ninth Prince out?"

"That's right. As long as the master is not here, who else in the Imperial Master's Mansion can stop this princess?" Princess Thirteen said proudly.

Gu Chan reached out and patted her forehead, and suddenly she felt her entire head had gotten bigger.

The two of them were convinced and respected Prince Chan very much, but they were a little nonchalant towards her and did not take her seriously.

Of course, Gu Chan could understand this. They were on guard against her because they were undoubtedly unsure whether she sincerely wanted to save the Ninth Prince or whether she wanted to surrender to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

After thinking this through, Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "I sincerely want to save the Ninth Prince now. The Seven Star Lamp can only extend his life for half a year. Now more than five months have passed. He will die in only half a month. So I am more anxious than any of you right now. I live in Zuichun Tower. If you want to save him, tell me where he is as soon as possible so that I can find him."

After saying that, Gu Chan turned and left.

Zuo Yun and Princess Thirteen acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued to lie down and eat fruit.

The guards guarding outside the door saw that they did not reveal the Ninth Prince's hiding place to Gu Chan, nor did they make things difficult for Gu Chan and let her leave.

After Gu Chan left the princess's mansion, she got on the carriage with nothing and returned to Zuichunlou.

On the way back, she began to get anxious.

Xuanyuan Qing doesn't have much time left. If he keeps dragging things on like this, he might really have to meet the King of Hell.
