Chapter 257 Willing to Make Changes
After hearing these words, King Chen's expression instantly turned serious, as if the relaxed and casual look just now was an illusion.
Then, his tone lowered considerably, and he asked cautiously, "I heard Jiang Yuannian mention before that there's a way to make the city walls indestructible. Do you really know such a method?"
When Jiang Jinhe heard the name "Jiang Yuannian", he couldn't help but feel shocked.
She was very worried that her younger brother might have leaked all those dangerous secrets to the powerful prince in front of her.
Just as she was thinking about this, she heard the prince talk about another shocking topic with a hint of regret:
"Also, I recently heard a rumor that someone has developed an extremely powerful weapon. It's said that just a single drop can kill hundreds of people. But I don't know if such a thing actually exists..."
His words revealed great interest, but also suspicion.
After hearing these words, Jiang Jinhe's eyebrows frowned unconsciously and his heart beat faster.
Obviously, King Chen showed great desire and curiosity about the technology she mastered.
Now it seems that his cheap third brother is really ready to devote himself wholeheartedly to King Chen.
Under these circumstances, I am afraid that there can be no more concealment or denial of the above issues.
If you answer carelessly, you may put yourself and your family in danger.
Thinking of this, she closed her mouth tightly and didn't say another word.
However, after a brief silence, Murong Xi beside him broke the silence with a smile, "Your Highness just mentioned two precious items in a row. Are you planning to find them?"
At the same time, gently put the teacup in your hand back on the table.
King Chen nodded. "No one would want to miss the opportunity to own such a rare treasure."
After he said this, he paused for a moment, his smiling expression gradually turned solemn, and an elusive light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't you think Miss Song feels that the place where you live is very dangerous?"
There was a hint of worry and seriousness in the man's words.
Jiang Jinhe instantly remembered the two people who broke into the house during the day. The faces of those uninvited guests flashed through her mind, and an expression of fear appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of anxiety and confusion.
"It turns out that His Highness has long known that someone broke into my house."
Murong Xi did not answer her immediately, but waved his hand gently, as if he wanted to express something with actions instead of words.
A guard not far away noticed this action and immediately walked forward quickly. He stopped at a distance neither too far nor too close to them, bowed respectfully in this direction, called out "Your Highness", and then began to explain the whole process in detail.
"Miss Song, I'm Zhang Zhan, who protected you before. This afternoon, I came to fetch someone according to His Highness' orders, only to discover someone knocking on your door and forcing their way in, regardless of the owner's consent. But a few minutes later, the two men left your residence, seemingly having accomplished their purpose. I followed them closely, until I discovered they had all gone to a large, secluded compound in the south."
The guard named Zhang Zhan said all this seriously and cautiously, then stood up straight, waiting for the next instruction.
She had some impression of this Zhang Zhan. He was indeed a loyal and reliable subordinate in Prince Chen's mansion.
At this moment, Jiang Jinhe also began to believe that the stranger's warning was not groundless.
"What is that place?"
Curiosity prompted Jiang Jinhe to ask questions, but she did not point directly to anyone or anything. Instead, she asked in a more obscure way.
After hearing the question, Zhang Zhan was stunned at first, then glanced at Murong Xi who had remained silent beside him. Obviously, he did not intend to give a direct answer, but chose to turn around and silently return to his post to continue guarding safety.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He knew in his heart that in a society with strict hierarchy and clear order, low-level officials like Zhang Zhan would not easily make important information public or mention the true identities and names of higher-level personnel.
Unless special permission is granted.
It seems that this man who calls himself the 'Crown Prince' does have a certain degree of influence and skill.
As expected, just as everyone was caught in an awkward atmosphere, Murong Xi suddenly sighed and spoke with a hint of regret and disappointment, "That place is actually my eighth brother's secret residence in the capital. Frankly speaking, I really didn't expect him to resort to such means against us."
Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, Jiang Jing was actually sneering in her heart.
Because she knew very well how many shameful secrets were hidden behind these seemingly high-ranking princes and nobles.
If they had not been forced into this situation out of helplessness, I am afraid no one would be willing to step into this complex and dangerous political vortex.
Take Ming Wang Murong Xue for example - although he always gives people the impression of being humble and polite, he is actually a person who is good at playing power games.
However, after comprehensive consideration, facing such a chaotic situation and the limitations of his own limited information resources, Jiang Jinhe finally decided to temporarily let down his guard and basically chose to trust the information provided by Murong Xi.
After all, such a big lie will be exposed one day, and she really can't imagine what consequences she will face then.
But what was his purpose in coming to see her?
This question has always troubled Jiang Jinhe's heart, as if there is an unsolved mystery waiting for her to solve.
Afterwards, Murong Xi mentioned that he had a manor in the south, where the environment was safe and peaceful, and he suggested that Jiang Jinhe and her family live there together.
However, Jiang Jinhe decisively rejected this suggestion, because she knew very well that the people of the Song family would not easily leave the place they were familiar with, and they were especially unwilling to make changes at this time.
After saying goodbye to Murong Xi, the sky gradually darkened.
The two returned to the first floor and decided to go see Song Yuyu again.
They found that most of her things had been sold, so they suggested that she pack up the remaining items and the three of them go home together.
As soon as she walked into the house, Jiang Jinhe noticed several menacing-looking people standing at the door, which made her feel a little nervous and uneasy.
In the capital, apart from Prince Chen, who else would dare to put on such a show?
As expected, these people came from the Ming Palace.
The gifts they brought filled the table, making it look extremely grand. It was obvious that they came with full sincerity.
"Miss Song, our prince has specifically instructed that you can spare some time to meet with me at Yueman Tower tomorrow afternoon. There are some very important matters that need to be discussed with you."
