Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

"Where do you think Nan Chufeng will lock them up?" Su Luoxue frowned, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and confusion.

Xuan Moyin did not answer Su Luoxue's question immediately. He held the tea bowl quietly, staring at the tea in the bowl, as if he was lost in thought.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Su Luoxue, and slowly asked: "If it were you, and you wanted to destroy the secret decree and didn't want anyone to know about its existence, would you choose to let others interrogate them, or do it yourself?"

Su Luoxue answered without hesitation: "Of course it's myself! I don't want anyone else to know about this secret decree. After all, it involves too many secrets and power." Her tone was firm and decisive.

Hearing Su Luoxue's answer, Xuan Moyin nodded in agreement.

He continued, "So, according to common sense, Nan Chufeng would most likely interrogate them personally to ensure that the news of the secret decree is not leaked. Then, they are most likely in a hidden place in the palace."

Su Luoxue suddenly thought of something. She looked at Xuan Moyin and asked nervously, "Do you mean that now only Nan Chufeng and Yongan know where they are being held?"

Xuan Moyin was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes, I think Nan Chufeng must have wanted to destroy the secret order after receiving it, and then secretly deal with Nan Chufeng, Xiao Luobai and Nan Xiyue, so that no one else would have any evidence against them."

"But if they are really in the palace, how can we find them? The palace is so big, it may not be easy to search for them." Su Luoxue frowned even more tightly, and she felt helpless.

Xuan Moyin calmly analyzed, "There must be a secret passage in this palace. Nan Chufeng would not easily act during the day, because he does not want to attract too much attention. He will definitely choose a relatively safe time and place to deal with this matter. Moreover, as you said, although fratricide often occurs within the royal family, such behavior is usually carried out in secret. On the surface, they also need to maintain a harmonious image to avoid being accused and criticized by others. Otherwise, his status will be affected, and it may even cause more trouble."

Su Luoxue listened to Xuan Moyin's analysis, and a glimmer of hope gradually rose in her heart. She felt that what he said made sense. As long as they could find the entrance to the secret passage, they might have a chance to rescue the three people. However, she also understood that this would be a difficult task and needed to be carried out carefully.

"If that's the case, then we just need to keep a close eye on Nan Chufeng and the man named Yong'an." Su Luoxue said in a firm tone.

"That's true, but the situation is grim this time, and there will inevitably be an extremely fierce and bloody battle. It may be difficult to deal with it with just the two of us. However, this is an internal matter of Nanxiang after all. If we rashly send troops to reinforce, we may be accused of interfering!" Xuan Moyin responded worriedly.

After Su Luoxue pondered for a moment, she suggested, "How about this? I will immediately order the thirty pistol team members stationed in Beiliang to rush here day and night. If anyone questions this, I will explain it by saying that I am rescuing my eldest brother Xiao Luobai, and rescue Nan Chuye and Nan Xiyue."

"Okay, let's do it according to this plan." Xuan Moyin nodded.

At this moment, in the magnificent and solemn palace of Nanxiang State, there is a secret passage unknown to the public. This passage is located deep in the palace and is extremely hidden, so ordinary people cannot detect its existence at all.

Following this secret passage, there are several dark and damp dungeons. These dungeons were originally used to imprison those palace servants who angered their masters or violated serious palace rules. However, now, these three dark and damp cells are holding the noble Third Prince Nan Chuye, Fifth Princess Nan Xiyue, and Xiao Luobai.

"Third brother, are you okay?" Nan Xiyue shouted anxiously. Due to the dim light in the cell, she couldn't see Nan Chuye's condition at all. Her voice echoed in the silent cell, with deep worry and fear.

The cell was extremely cold and damp, with only a thin layer of straw on the floor, and rats occasionally crawling across the floor. The only lighting tool in the cell was the murky and dim oil lamp hanging on the wall. The light flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, making the entire cell filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

Nan Chuye had been tortured by Nan Chufeng for several nights. All the torture instruments in the dark prison had been used on him. His body was already broken and covered with scars.

He leaned against the wall weakly, and the straw under his body had been stained dark by his blood. When Nan Chuye heard Nan Xiyue calling him, he raised his head with difficulty with all his strength, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiyue, Third Brother is fine..."

However, how could Nan Xiyue believe that he was really okay? In the past few nights, whenever the second brother Nan Chufeng came, he would send someone to take the third brother away. And every time, the third brother was covered in blood and was dragged back like a dead dog. When Nan Xiyue thought of this, her heart was filled with endless pain and sadness, and tears could not stop flowing down.

Nan Chuye endured the severe pain and wanted to comfort his sister, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Xiao Luobai say: "Xiyue, don't cry..."

Nan Chuye regrets it so much now. His sister was doing well in Yuan Kingdom, and he shouldn't have let her come back. In fact, he should have thought about what kind of person Nan Chufeng was. In order to get to that position, he had wanted to kill himself a long time ago. He just hopes that Xiyue is fine.

Over the past few months, he has seen how good Xiao Luobai has been to his sister, and how kind, enthusiastic, and sincere the Xiao family is. He is willing for his sister to marry into such a family, so that at least she can stay away from the disputes and dark side of the royal family.

If Xiao Luobai had not accompanied Xiyue back to Nanxiang Kingdom this time, he would not have been trapped in this dark prison.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry for getting you into trouble this time." Nan Chuye said softly, enduring the pain all over his body.

"Third brother, don't say that. I just hate myself for not protecting Xiyue well." Xiao Luobai said.

"Third brother, if you are in pain, don't say anything." Nan Xiyue said crying.

"Xiyue, please take the sachet that third brother gave you. It was obtained by third brother after praying for you. It will surely bless you with peace and happiness in this life." Nan Chuye said with difficulty.

Nan Xiyue looked at the sachet on her waist and said, "Third brother, I know."

This sachet was given to her by her third brother personally when she returned to Daonan Xiangguo to visit her father because her father was seriously ill. He also said that it was specially obtained for her from the temple.
