Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Everyone hurried into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look.

The prince reported the whole incident in detail. After hearing it, the emperor was furious: "How could such a traitor dare to try to shake the foundation of our dynasty!"

Baili Ye took a step forward and bowed, saying:

"Father, I have one more thing to report. After interrogating Duke Ying and the officials involved in the case, I discovered that they all have a close connection with the late Concubine Li.

The Left Emissary and the Right Emissary they mentioned also met in a temple outside the city. I suspect that this matter is related to my Second Brother, so I sent people to the temple to investigate my Second Brother's situation, but found nothing unusual. "

The emperor stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Ting'er, what do you think?"

Crown Prince Baili Ting thought for a moment and said, "I think since all the signs point to Concubine Li and Second Brother, there must be some connection. I think we should continue the investigation."

Baili Ye bowed and said, "Father, Xiao He and I would like to go to Hua'an Temple to see the real situation of Second Brother. Please approve it."

The emperor responded: "Okay, how long will it take you to resolve this matter?"

"Reporting to Father, one day is enough."

Emperor Baili Chuyuan smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll give you one day.

After you come to a conclusion, you will need to lead a group of elite soldiers and go secretly to Chuzhou to investigate the specific situation. Ye'er will be fully responsible for the affairs of Chuzhou.

The Crown Princess is in good health, so Ting'er will stay in the capital and take precautions."

The Crown Prince, Baili Ye, and Qing He replied in unison: "Your sons obey your command."

Qing He stepped forward and said to the Emperor: "Father, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you will grant my request."

"it is good."

After the matter was done, the prince, Baili Ye and Qing He went out of the palace to make arrangements. After the arrangements were made, Qing He and Baili Ye returned home together.

After returning to the mansion, Baili Ye immediately arranged for Baiyi, Baisan and Baisi to take the elite soldiers given by his father and secretly go to Chuzhou.

“Along the way, everyone was careful and cautious, avoiding the eyes and ears.

The princess and I will go to Chuzhou after we finish our business. When you arrive, go to the Yuelai Restaurant in Chuzhou to meet us." Baili Ye arranged.

"Yes, I obey."

Upon receiving the order, everyone retreated.

Baili Ye and Qinghe rode out of the city at full speed, then entered the space, and arrived at Hua'an Temple in a few teleportations.

After arriving at the temple, the two pretended to be pilgrims and looked around the temple.

The Hua'an Temple is quite large, with curling incense and melodious bells.

Qing He and Bai Li Ye seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact they had sharp eyes and would not miss any suspicious points.

They arrived at the main hall and saw many pilgrims worshipping Buddha devoutly.

The monks came and went, each busy with their own things. The Second Prince was not here.

The two then went to the Zen room area in the backyard, where the environment was quiet and unusually peaceful.

Suddenly, Qinghe noticed that there were two vigilant servants guarding the door of a Zen room.

Qing He whispered to Baili Ye, "Your Majesty, there may be something fishy about that meditation room."

Baili Ye nodded slightly and was about to step forward to test it out, but he saw an elderly monk walking towards him.

The monk put his hands together and said, "My two donors, this is the place for meditation in the temple, please go somewhere else."

Baili Ye responded with a smile:

"Master, my wife and I have long heard of the great name of Hua'an Temple, so we have come here to pay our respects.

My second brother is meditating in the temple. Since we are here today, let's go visit him."

The monk was slightly surprised when he heard this.

The monk's expression eased a little: "Amitabha, the meditation room guarded by the servants at the door is where the second prince is. I will take you there right away."

"We don't want to trouble you, Master. We can go there by ourselves. You can go on with your work."

"In that case, please do as you please, benefactor."

After the monk finished speaking, he put his hands together, bowed, and left.

After the monk left, Baili Ye and Qinghe looked at each other and walked straight towards the meditation room.

Baili Ye and Qinghe walked to the door of the Zen room and were stopped by the servants at the door.

"Who is it? The person inside is the current second prince. He is in seclusion here and does not see guests." One of the guards said expressionlessly.

Baili Ye's figure shuddered, and he took out his token and said in a deep voice:

"I am the fifth prince of the dynasty, Prince Chen. I have come to visit my second brother. Are you sure you want to stop me?"

The two men turned pale upon hearing this and immediately knelt down to pay their respects: "Your subordinates pay their respects to Prince Chen. Your subordinates dare not, I will report to the Second Prince immediately."

Then he hurried in to report, and after a while, he came out to invite Baili Ye and Qinghe in.

The two men pushed the door open and saw the second prince sitting on a futon. When he heard them come in, he hurriedly stood up and turned around.

The two looked up and saw that the second prince looked a little thin and was wearing a plain robe.

He was wearing a silver mask that covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of narrow eyes exposed.

There was a hint of uneasiness and vigilance in those eyes, and their gaze flickered.

Through the skin exposed at the edge of the mask, some scars can be seen, which seem to be traces left by the fire.

The chin line under the mask seemed a little tense, his lips were tightly pursed, and there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or the high temperature in the room.

Although the mask covered most of his face, one could still sense the strange aura emanating from him.

There was obvious panic in his eyes, and he forced a stiff smile on his face:

"Fifth brother, why are you here?"

Then he looked at Qing He and continued, "I guess this is the sister-in-law who just came in? I was in seclusion when you got married, so I missed your wedding. I'm really sorry."

Baili Ye bowed his hands in greeting, but his eyes were fixed on the Second Prince, and he said:

"Second brother, today we are here to have fun and burn incense. I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much that I came to visit you."

The second prince avoided looking at Baili Ye, and rubbed the corners of his clothes unconsciously with his hands, saying, "I am thoughtful, please sit down."

Qinghe bowed slightly and secretly observed the Second Prince's every move.

I saw that the forehead of the "Second Prince" was covered with fine beads of sweat and his face looked a little pale.

After Baili Ye sat down, he said directly:

"Second brother, a lot of things have happened in the capital recently. I wonder if you have heard about it while you are here?"

The Second Prince was startled, and said with forced calmness: "I am cultivating here, and I know very little about the outside world."

Baili Ye smiled and continued, "The Duke of Ying and a group of officials are involved in the case, and it is said to be related to the late Concubine Li."

The Second Prince swallowed and said in panic, "This... This I really don't know."

At this time, Qing He suddenly said, "Second Prince, you don't look well, are you ill?"

The Second Prince's eyes became even more horrified, and he stammered, "Maybe I've been too tired from reciting scriptures recently. It's okay, it's okay."

Baili Ye and Qinghe looked at each other and already had some guesses in their minds.
