The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

The palace seemed exceptionally quiet at this time. Although half of the palace servants who were arranged to see him off had not returned, the emperor who was originally scheduled to see him off in person suddenly fell unwell. There were suddenly many more masters on guard in the palace, and the palace servants who stayed behind were all in a panic.

"Who are you?" On a small road leading to Qianxi Wusuo, a guard blocked the way of three people.

The maid bowed and said, "Brother Guard, I am a maid in the Queen's palace, and I have been ordered to deliver snacks to the Grand Prince's palace."

The guard stepped forward and looked at the three palace maids one by one. He also checked the food boxes to make sure everything was fine, then waved his hand and let them go.

"Stand!"

Before they had taken a few steps, a strange guard suddenly appeared behind them, "Capture them and take them away for examination!"

……

Wu Zhong was shocked when he saw Shen Yu handing him a piece of paper. Fortunately, the princess did not enter the palace as he arranged, otherwise she would not have escaped today. He looked up at the calm woman in front of him, still with lingering fear, "I am ashamed!"

He thought his intelligence network in Los Angeles was already very mature, but at this moment he was unable to obtain the latest news from the palace. He was very curious about how the princess did it?

Shen Yu did not hold back and shrugged, "It's very simple, because your people were arranged to go in, and my people were already there."

After the old people in the Su Mansion surrendered, she left two people here to continue running the business. This group of people was not originally managed by her, so their network had nothing to do with the Shen Mansion and the Zhuo Wang Mansion, which was how they were able to successfully escape the eyes and ears of the emperor.

After all, she remembered that the emperor in the original book was a treacherous person, and his dragon guards were not that weak. It was not that she did not trust Wu Zhong's ability, she was just used to doing things without relying on a single source of information.

She unraveled the network of relationships constructed by that group of people, analyzed and integrated them, and even instigated some palace servants who still remembered Grand Tutor Su. They were not needed to do anything at ordinary times, so why were they needed at this critical moment?

After all, she already knew that more than half of Su Taifu's former students were arranged by the emperor, so it wouldn't be excessive for her to place some spies in his house, right?

Although the princess did not reveal more, Wu Zhong was truly impressed by her ability to grasp the palace news. Seeing that she was still looking at the pieces of paper in front of her leisurely, he asked curiously, "Princess, is this all intelligence?"

Shen Yu didn't even raise his head, "No, this is the inspiration for the story."

After the original "Zimu Study" was entrusted to Fu Yunxiu, she found that the shopkeeper Fu just published more picture books and made more money, and the information of the study was simply wasted! ! She was already considering whether to hand the study back to the group of people in the Su Mansion. Sigh...

"Why is the princess sighing?"

Shen Yu just wanted to find someone to complain to, so he told Wu Zhong about the behavior of Fu Yunxiu, the prodigal son. Wu Zhong was thoughtful after hearing it. "In fact, it's not Master Fu's fault. He comes from a high-class family. His subordinates will naturally provide him with any intelligence he wants. According to what the princess said, this 'Zimu Study' is a supplementary source of intelligence. The content is numerous and diverse, and most of it is about trivial matters among the people. Maybe in the eyes of Shopkeeper Fu, the information from 'Tongtian Tower' is more useful to the palace... but..."

Shen Yu picked up one of the notes she had collected and raised it, saying, "It's just... it can save lives at a critical moment."

Wu Zhong took it and saw a passage written on it: My cousin’s master’s family home has been haunted recently!! My cousin is the second-class maidservant of the most favored aunt of Mr. Song. The aunt’s ancestors were also from a wealthy family. Her family has an ancestral house next to the imperial palace. Because the area is too small, no descendants have lived there. Only servants are responsible for offering incense every day. A few days ago, screams suddenly came from the house late at night, which alarmed several families next door. Those people sent servants to investigate and found that the offerings on the incense table had been eaten by someone!! The servant who stayed behind disappeared out of thin air. There was no sign of fighting in the house, and the door was locked from the inside. Those people were scared and said it was haunted! The strangest thing is that the aunt’s family did not make a fuss after learning about it, and sent servants to take care of it again, and the matter was left unresolved.

In the lower right corner it says: Luo Juan, Luo Ji Snack Shop in the south of the city, my cousin told me when she came home, number 1148.

Wu Zhong thought about it for a moment and understood, "Does the princess suspect that someone is hiding in this house?"

Shen Yu stretched out a finger and waved it, "Sir, why don't you be a little bolder? For example, what if this room is a secret passage connecting to the imperial palace?"

As soon as these words came out, the people standing behind Wu Zhong showed shocked expressions, "This... is impossible?"

Shen Yu did not rush to explain, but took them to the west city map that had been set up long ago, pointed to the location of Qianxi Wusuo in the palace and said, "This is where the princes live." She then pointed to a location outside the city wall not far away, "This is the ancestral home of the concubine of Mr. Song. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

After saying that, he took out another piece of paper and handed it over, continuing, "The note with the ghost story was the one I received yesterday, and this one is the information I received this morning, which contains the detailed address and basic information of the house." This was the result of the investigation sent by the people from the Su Mansion.

"According to the secret information from the palace, the second prince has not appeared since he entered the palace, and no one has come to collect his supplies, so it is reasonable for you to suspect that he is imprisoned in the palace, but I have one question..."

"Please speak frankly, Princess." Wu Zhong said respectfully.

Shen Yu raised his head and looked at Mr. Wu and the three men behind him. "The prince's residence is different from the palace. There is no separate courtyard there. It is more like a group residence. The house next door also lives with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is obviously in contact with us now. If the emperor really wants to imprison the second prince, why would he put him in such an easy-to-conquer place? So isn't it obvious that he is waiting for us to rescue him?"

"Then I thought, even if we really go to rescue people, can we definitely rescue the Second Prince?" Shen Yu turned back and pointed at the location of Qianxi Wusuo, and pointed his finger, "But since the intelligence from the palace's secret agents showed that after the Second Prince went back, his people never showed up again, based on this intelligence, doesn't the problem lie here?"

She pointed at Qianxi Wusuo with her white fingers, "Suppose, if the Second Prince is not imprisoned here, then..." She pointed at the residential area outside the city wall, "It's just separated by a wall, could there be a secret passage?"

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, outlining a calm and confident smile.

But at this time, the faces of the people on the opposite side were already very ugly, especially the three confidants that Wu Zhong had personally cultivated. The master had said long ago that they were too complacent. They had originally been dissatisfied, but today they were particularly embarrassed. It was not that they really agreed with the princess's conjecture, but as intelligence workers, they had never considered this possibility...
