Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 100

He still hasn't figured out where the door to this secret room in the mansion leads to, and why he has never discovered it.

"There are quite a lot of things in here." The prince checked them one by one and found that there were indeed quite a lot of things.

In addition to gold and silver, the jewelry is also very valuable.

"Your Highness, did the Emperor really say that these things should be divided between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Qiao Anan looked at Chu Haojue with some suspicion and asked.

I thought to myself, the emperor is so poor, when did he become so generous?

"Father's words are golden, how can they be false? If you don't believe me, ask the Crown Prince." Chu Haojue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

Chu Haojue actually knew that he had tricked the emperor in this matter.

The prince coughed lightly and chuckled, neither saying yes nor no.

The young eunuch secretly retreated at this time. Oh my God, he had to hurry back to the palace to tell the emperor about this.

If the emperor knew that there were so many gold, silver and treasures in the second prince's mansion, he would definitely be unable to sit still.

The Crown Prince and Chu Haojue also knew that even if the Emperor said that these things should be divided equally between the two of them, they certainly could not really divide them.

These things would be more meaningful if used on the people than on them.

"Second brother, what are these things about?" The prince thought for a moment and asked quickly.

"I don't know about this. It was discovered by the princess." Chu Haojue said with a pout, looking at Qiao Anan beside him.

"Sister-in-law, could you please help me solve a puzzle?" Prince Cao bowed to Qiao Anan and asked.

"I happened to be here today testing the cement that will be used tomorrow, and I heard the workers say that they couldn't dig this side. I took a look and thought there was a big rock underneath, so I used gunpowder to blast it open. The gunpowder blew a hole here, and then I found a secret room inside. I saw these things when I came in, but when we demolished the prince's mansion, we didn't find any entrance. Now that the houses here have been demolished, we can no longer verify where the original entrance was." Qiao Anan said with some regret.

"Second brother, besides this secret room, have you discovered any other secret passages?" The prince thought of what Chu Haojue, Qingyu and Nanqi had just said, and they should have made other discoveries.

"We did find a secret passage in here, and we also found that this secret passage leads to two different directions. Qingyu, you just went out from another secret passage. Where is the exit of the secret passage you took?" Chu Haojue asked Qingyu who was standing aside.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince, Nanqi and I walked along the secret passage for a long time, and finally arrived at an abandoned house in the suburbs. Nanqi and I also secretly inquired about it. It is said that the abandoned house belongs to a high-ranking official in the court. Although the house looks like an abandoned house, we found that the inside of the house is very clean, as if someone has lived there for a long time." Qingyu hurriedly told his discovery truthfully.

"Have you found out who owns that house?" Chu Haojue felt that no matter whose house it was, the exit of the secret passage was in his house, and that person was a suspect.

"I went to the Household Registration Department to check and found that the house was owned by a concubine of An Xiuyuan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War," said Qingyu.

"An Xiuyuan?" The prince did not expect that it was the house of the wife and family of a fourth-rank official.

"Second brother, do you know where the other exit of this secret passage is?" the prince asked again.

"The princess and I entered another secret room. When we reached the end of the secret passage, we heard two familiar women's voices talking in the room. But we didn't dare to go out for fear of alerting the enemy. However, if my guess is correct, it seems to be heading towards the palace." Chu Haojue said with a frown.

"The imperial palace?" The prince couldn't imagine that in this secret passage, there were not only a large number of jewels, but also a secret passage leading to the imperial palace and the suburban residence of a fourth-rank official.

There are so many strange things here.

What kind of ambition did the person who built this secret passage have? This made everyone feel depressed.

"Could you trouble my second brother to accompany me through that secret passage again?" The prince wanted to go to the secret passage himself to take a look.

The prince thought about it, his second brother said he suspected that the sound coming from the end of the secret room came from inside the palace.

But the second prince rarely went to the palace, and even if he did, he rarely interacted with the concubines.

But the prince is different. Miyamoto is in the palace, and the prince can basically tell who the concubines are talking to by their voices.

The prince just wanted to catch those people as soon as possible.

"Your Highness and the Crown Prince, please be careful." Qiao Anan knew that it would not be convenient for her to go with them this time, so she could only ask the two of them to be careful.

"Don't worry, just find someone to move these things out first." Chu Haojue thought that it might not be safe to keep these things here.

It would be better to move it out and find a safe place to put it first, and then ask the emperor how to deal with it.

"Okay, be careful." Qiao Anan handed the two gunpowders she had just carried to Chu Haojue.

Chu Haojue did not refuse Qiao Anan's kindness.

He lit a torch and led the prince into the secret passage.

Chu Haojue had walked through this secret passage once, but he was not as cautious as the first time.

However, the secret passage could only accommodate one person. The prince accidentally tripped over something and fell down.

"Hiss!" The prince knocked his hand lightly and screamed in surprise.

"Are you okay?" Chu Haojue looked back at the prince worriedly.

"I'm fine, keep going." The prince felt as if he had just tripped over something, but when he looked again, the ground was indeed flat, and he was still a little puzzled.

Neither of them knew that the prince's trip just now had triggered the mechanism of the secret passage, and the secret passage they were originally going to take had changed its direction.

Imperial Palace Study Room

"You said that a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry was discovered in the Second Prince's mansion?" Chu Yuanming looked at the young eunuch in disbelief.

I suspected that the second guy just didn't explain clearly on purpose and wanted to keep those things for himself.

"In reply to the emperor, I did see many boxes placed under the second prince's mansion, and the boxes were filled with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry." The young eunuch quickly told the truth about what he saw.

"Do you know how they found out?" Chu Yuanming felt annoyed.

Why didn't he realize before that there were so many gold, silver and jewelry hidden under the Second Prince's mansion?

Chu Yuanming felt so angry when he thought about how the second brother had actually tricked him into telling him and the prince those things.

The second brother actually lied to him.

Could it be that I had lied to him too much? The second brother also knew how to fight back.

"You can see clearly how many things are there," Chu Yuanming thought to himself to comfort himself.
