Wei Imperial Palace

The emperor's hunting ground was attacked by assassins. Fu Xin investigated for many days but could not find out who the masterminds were. Several of the assassins suddenly died in prison, and the clues were completely cut off, which made the emperor very angry.

He slammed the table and roared: "The enemy assassinated me right under my nose, and you couldn't even find out who the mastermind was. You, the commander of the Imperial Guard, are too incompetent."

"I deserve to die. Your Majesty, please punish me."

"Tell the palace about all matters and go to the Palace Administration Office to receive your punishment."

"I humble my duty and obey the decree."

The eunuch stood by and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the sudden death of several assassins in the prison may indicate that there is a traitor in the Royal Prison. Even if the Imperial Guards tortured them, they knew the seriousness of the matter and would not beat them to death directly."

"I have been thinking about this issue. There is someone behind the scenes in the Royal Prison, and this person must be of high status."

"Is it the Queen Mother who just returned to the palace, or the Second Prince, or is there a third force in the palace? We must find out who it is, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."

"Jiang Hai, quietly send someone to investigate and make sure not to alert the enemy."

"Yes."

"Have the people watching the Second Prince's Mansion discovered that he has contact with the outside world?"

"No."

"I don't believe he can live such a peaceful life. Keep watching."

"Yes."

"This year is the first year that Xue'er has returned. She has brought a great gift to my army. We will have a big banquet on New Year's Eve to celebrate."

"Old slave obeys the order."

"The Third Princess is a lucky star. She just came back to save the eldest prince. This time she saved the emperor and the concubine from an assassination attempt. She also made bows and crossbows, which made my Wei army even more powerful."

"Yes! Xue'er is the most capable among my princes and princesses. It would be great if she were a prince."

“Your Majesty, whether the third princess is a princess or a prince, she is your child and will serve you.”

"What Jiang Hai said makes sense."

The Second Prince's Mansion

At midnight, a man in black came to the Second Prince's study quietly like a ghost. When the princess saw him, she said happily: "Brother Crown Prince, you are here."

"Royal sister, I came to Wei in advance to see if the third princess you mentioned is really that powerful. This prince wants to see her abilities first."

"Brother Crown Prince, she is indeed powerful. The dozens of assassins who surrounded her a few days ago were no match for her."

"Where did she learn her craft?"

"In Penglai Poison Doctor Valley, there are three masters teaching martial arts. Not only are they very good at martial arts, they are also good at making poisons. You must be careful when you meet them."

"Don't worry! The martial arts of those old men in Penglai Poison Doctor Valley combined are no match for my master, Taoist Qingzhen. My master's martial arts are mediocre, so how can my disciple's martial arts be so powerful? I will find a chance to test her background."

"With His Royal Highness's words, I feel relieved."

"Second Prince, I am helping you for my younger sister's sake. Please treat my younger sister well in the future. Don't let my younger sister down when you conquer the Wei Empire."

"Your Highness, rest assured. When I conquer the Wei Empire, the Queen will be Princess Song, and the Crown Prince will be the son of Princess Song. This is beyond doubt."

"I will trust you for now, but if I find out that you have made my sister sad, I will never let you go."

"I, Wei Yan, swear that if I break my oath in this lifetime, I will not die a good death."

"Okay, this prince will find ways to help you get rid of this stumbling block, Wei Lingxue."

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I will keep it in mind and will never forget your kindness when I gain control of the Wei Empire."

"Brother Crown Prince, there are people from the Emperor at the gate of the mansion monitoring every move in the mansion. Have you seen them?"

"Their little tricks are not worth mentioning. Even if I enter the palace in broad daylight, they will not notice anything unusual."

"That's good. I'll be counting on you from now on."

"We are all one family, so we should not have different opinions."

"Yes, my royal brother."

"Brother, would you like to live in the Second Prince's mansion and take command?"

"It's inconvenient for me to go into the mansion. It's more convenient to live outside."

"it is good."

"This prince is leaving."

"Brother, take care."

The Crown Prince of Song disappeared in the Second Prince's Mansion like a ghost.
