Marrying the dandy prince, the princess wants to usurp the throne

"Barrier?" Mu Jiusheng frowned.

Regarding barriers, she had only seen them in novels before, but in real life, she had never heard of such a mysterious thing, let alone understood it.

However, since she was able to be reborn in this world she had never set foot in, it didn't seem surprising that there was a barrier in Southern Xinjiang.

"Has your majesty ever heard of it?"

Mu Jiusheng asked Chu Shengkang.

Chu Shengkang shook his head, "When I was young, I heard about the barrier, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. I just thought it was someone's nonsense.

Later, the person who proposed the barrier died unexpectedly. Could it be related to the barrier?"

Strangely enough, the man was originally a strong young man, but during a hunting trip, he fell off a cliff and died.

Because this kind of thing has happened before, everyone felt regretful, but didn't take it too seriously.

"Where is that person from?"

Mu Jiusheng always felt that the person must know about the barrier!

"A village called Taohua Village."

Chu Shengkang looked at Mu Jiusheng and knew that she was planning to go to Taohua Village, so he reminded her, "But that village was flooded not long after that man died. No one in the entire village survived."

"This is too weird. Was it not long after that man died that a flood occurred?"

Lu'e also felt something was wrong when she came out of southern Xinjiang.

"It's not a flood. There's a waterfall next to them. Somehow it changed its course, and all the water from it rushed towards the village, so it caused the flood."

Speaking of this, Chu Shengkang himself felt that something was wrong.

It’s just that I didn’t think much about it when I was young, and everyone just felt sympathy and pity, and no one thought there was anything wrong.

After all, who would touch the waterfall for no reason?

Now think about it, why would the waterfall change its course when it was fine?

"Anyway, we have to go to Taohua Village and see if we can find any clues about the barrier."

"I'll go with Sister Shengsheng!"

Green calyx said.

Mu Jiusheng nodded. Lu'e was from southern Xinjiang and was familiar with many things there, so it would be most appropriate to let her go.

"I'll go with you too."

Ji Huaiyu appeared in the imperial study at some point.

"Have you explained everything?"

"Okay, your majesty agrees."

They were supposed to return to Chong'an Kingdom after Mu Qingluo got married, but were delayed by the things happening here.

Ji Huaiyu went back with Mu Qilin first and told the emperor about the situation in Southern Xinjiang. The emperor was a coward, and when he heard that such strange things had happened in Xingye Kingdom, he was afraid that Southern Xinjiang would reach out to him again, so he agreed without thinking much.

"it is good."

Mu Jiusheng looked at Ji Huaiyu and smiled.

Because Ji Huaiyu was busy, Chu Shengkang did not have an in-depth communication with Ji Huaiyu. Now, you know what, these two little kids are quite a match.

"Your husband is quite handsome."

Chu Shengkang teased.

Mu Jiusheng blushed, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing us and talk about the barrier.

During the time we are away, the person behind the scenes might take action again. I will leave Bai Zhu here with you. If you have any questions, please discuss them with her first. If you have any news, please ask her to send a pigeon to me."

"I know, I know. Don't worry. Although I am already an old man, I am still not completely useless. If they want to take action on my territory, they still have to think twice."

It is precisely because Xingye State has a strong military force that Southern Xinjiang would act secretly and not dare to act openly.

Mu Jiusheng raised her eyebrows. Yes, what Chu Shengkang said made sense. Xingye Country was powerful, so she chose to cooperate with Xingye Country. In this matter, if there was no suitable partner, she would rather not cooperate. After all, the risk of this matter was not small.

……

"Sister, you are going to Taohua Village. Will Nuoer not be able to see you?"

When Xiao Nuo heard that Mu Jiusheng was leaving, he was very reluctant to let him go.

Mother said that Sister A Sheng was his savior, and he liked Sister A Sheng very much and didn't want her to leave.

Mu Jiusheng smiled and patted Xiao Nuo's little head. "Sister is only going out for a while and will be back soon. As long as Nuo stays in the general's mansion and listens to daddy and mommy, sister promises to come back to see Nuo soon."

"really?"

"real."

Children don't have any thoughts and believe it easily.

After Mu Jiusheng coaxed Xiao Nuo, he came to Xiao Xun's study and said, "During the time I'm away, Zhao Qingmei will take care of Xiao Nuo in the general's mansion. Qin Rulan has asked the nanny to find an excuse to let her wash the toilet, and someone will be watching her every day to prevent her from doing anything else.

But I'm still worried that the people in Southern Xinjiang will do something to Xiao Nuo when I'm not around, so you must keep a close eye on him."

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Feng has realized how serious the situation in Southern Xinjiang is. Now this matter is not only about the General's Mansion and Xiao Nuo's business, but also involves the entire country!

Mu Jiusheng nodded, and set off with Ji Huaiyu and the others that very night.

Taohua Village was originally a very beautiful village. The reason why it was called Taohua Village was because the village was full of peach blossoms all year round.

But when Mu Jiusheng arrived, Taohua Village had changed beyond all recognition.

"The flood is really severe." Even Lu'e couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

“According to your majesty, the flood occurred 20 years ago, and later, due to the geological reasons and waterfalls, it was not suitable for planting and living, so it was abandoned.

That’s why we may be able to find the truth about what happened 20 years ago if we look for it now.”

"Yeah!" Lu'e nodded seriously.

Mu Jiusheng and his group searched for three whole days, with almost no rest except for three meals a day and normal sleep, and finally found an entrance in a place.

"A Sheng, look here." Ji Huaiyu pulled Mu Jiusheng under a grove of trees. There was a piece of land under the trees. There was not a single weed on it, as if all the grass had actively avoided this place.

"There's poison here." Mu Jiusheng sniffed the land, his eyes solemn, "It's the poison from southern Xinjiang."

"What?" Lu'e was surprised. "So Nanjiang came here twenty years ago?!"

"Based on what has been discovered so far, it is very likely."

Mu Jiusheng smeared the antidote on his hands, then dug up the ground, and an entrance appeared in front of everyone.

“It’s a passage!”

"Go in and take a look. Be careful."

Mu Jiusheng reminded.

Ji Huaiyu walked in front of Mu Jiusheng, "I'll lead the way."

Mu Jiusheng raised his eyebrows but did not stop him.

"This place must have been abandoned for a long time."

As he entered, Mu Jiusheng saw a lot of moss and dirt on the ground, but no footprints.
