The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

The formation in the bamboo forest was called the "Four-Sided Sealing Formation," and within it was a hidden killing formation, putting outsiders at risk of death. Therefore, they could attack or defend within the formation, ensuring complete safety.

Cang Xu said solemnly, "After a few days, those white-clothed men still couldn't break the formation, but they showed no intention of leaving. They couldn't get in, but we couldn't get out either. If this goes on for too long, how are we going to feed so many people?

His Highness was also worried. If he were alone, these people would not be able to contain him at all. But with the lady and you, young master, here, how could he let you take risks? So he ordered the four of us to escort the lady and you away first.

Yun Qing was puzzled after hearing this: "How can you leave there?"

Cang Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "Young Master, you don't know this. There is actually a secret passage hidden in this bamboo forest house!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing hurriedly asked, "Secret passage! Is there a secret passage in the house? Where is it?"

Cang Xu: "It's right under the flowers next to the hot spring pool. This secret passage leads directly to the secret room at the foot of Dongling Mountain. We didn't know about it originally, but His Highness told us about it because he saw that the four of us had been behaving ourselves and were quite reliable these days."

Is that so? Yun Qing was a little skeptical. Cang Xu and the other three didn't look like carefully trained secret guards. Instead, they looked like experienced veterans who had traveled extensively and were slick and slippery.

People like his father were trained as crown princes since childhood. They are extremely vigilant and will not trust anyone easily, especially when their lives are at stake. He will never trust these four people easily, let alone tell them such an important secret passage.

Cang Xu seemed to see through Yun Qing's thoughts and continued without further explanation, "This secret passage isn't just for escape. In fact, it's the entrance to the secret room at the foot of Dongling Mountain!

You don't know that the bronze door cannot be opened from the outside. Only by entering the secret chamber through this secret passage can the bronze door be opened from the inside. Therefore, Mr. Kang lived in Dongling Mountain for five years without opening the bronze door, because no one could have guessed that the bamboo forest courtyard was the entrance.

So that’s it!!! He believed this.

Yun Qing: "Since there is a secret passage, why don't we leave together? Why does my father have to stay?"

A dark light flashed across Cang Xu's eyes, then disappeared in an instant. When he spoke again, he changed the subject: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused to leave. He said he wanted to hold these people here and asked us to leave first. But Madam and His Royal Highness are deeply in love. Madam refused to leave no matter what. She insisted on staying with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No one could persuade her. Even though you cried miserably, Madam was determined to stay. There was no other way, the four of us escaped with you and your two wet nurses."

What does that mean? Yun Qing became even more suspicious of Cang Xu's words. His biological parents had abandoned him for no apparent reason.

Yun Qing pretended to be sad and asked, "What about my parents? What happened to them?"

Unexpectedly, Cang Xu sighed miserably and said, "Alas! Who could have thought that this farewell would become a farewell forever!"

"Nonsense!" Yun Qing really wanted to kick him. "Even if they are no match for the men in white, don't they still have a secret passage? My parents wouldn't be stupid enough to die!"

Cang Xu said anxiously: "Uh uh! I didn't say they were dead!"

"Hiss!" Yun Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Then explain to me what farewell is."

Cang Xu scratched his head, smiled shyly and said, "Hahaha! Don't be angry, young master! I just said it casually!"

Yun Qing was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his wound almost split open: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Cang Xu hurried on, "Back then, after the four of us escaped, we headed straight for Jiangzhou. With the Crown Prince's personal guard token, we borrowed three thousand light cavalry from the Jiangzhou Sima and rushed back to Daxi Village to rescue His Highness.

But when we arrived, we saw no one. The white-clad men guarding the house were gone, and neither were the Crown Prince and his wife inside. We also looked around carefully, but there were no signs of a struggle.

We thought they might have escaped from the secret room as well, so we went back. The bronze door was locked from the inside, so it was clear they hadn't left through the secret room. That left only one possibility: they had followed the men in white. This was our four guess. However, there has been no further news of Crown Prince Shaojun since then.

Yun Qing frowned and pondered for a moment. He was thinking about the story told by Cang Xu. Which part of this story was credible and which part was not?

He felt that the first part was highly credible, but the second part about how his parents left and why they abandoned him was extremely suspicious!

Whether the story was true or not, he was willing to believe it! His parents might not be dead, but missing.

Thinking of this, although Yun Qing felt that there were many doubts, he felt much more relaxed in his heart.

"That's not right!" Yun Qing asked Cang Xu, "Feng Zhishang said that he saw my father carrying me back to the capital. Moreover, he was the one who personally treated my father for the Drunken Dream Poison. How could this be true?"

Cang Xu: "This matter! It's naturally the late emperor's intention. We have to find an excuse for His Highness's disappearance!"

"Oh?" Yun Qing said, "So, he lied to me?"

Yun Qing didn't believe it. Feng Zhishang's expression when he was telling the story didn't seem like he was lying, which meant that one of them was lying.

Cang Xu felt uncomfortable under Yun Qing's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and changed the subject: "After the Crown Prince disappeared, we immediately sent an urgent letter to the late Emperor, telling His Majesty what had happened.

Not long after, we received a secret decree from His Majesty, asking the four of us to bring you, the young master, back to the capital immediately.

So the four of us didn't dare delay and carried you back to the capital. It was really the four of us who carried you back to the capital and personally handed you over to Rong Taifu. Rong Taifu personally carried you into the palace to see His Majesty.

"Oh! Really?" Yun Qing couldn't help but sneer. He felt that there was no need to listen to the rest of the story. It would be a waste of his time to listen to such a fabricated story. He closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

"Hey! Are you sleepy, young master? Why don't you listen?"

Yun Qing said lazily: "Well, I'm tired of listening!"

"No! I haven't finished yet! The rest of the story is still long. What do you want to hear?"

Yun Qing closed his eyes, leaning against the carriage seat and said, "Then tell me why Feng Zhishang saw my father in the palace instead of Taifu Rong holding me."

"That's hard to explain. He saw the Crown Prince's shadow guard. He looks very similar to your father. He's wearing the Crown Prince's clothes, and from behind he looks the same."

Yun Qing half-opened her eyes, glanced at him lazily, and asked, "A shadow guard pretending to be my father? Does he look a lot like my father? Why did Feng Zhishang mistake him for someone else?"

Cang Xu didn't care: "Feng Zhishang is just a doctor. He can't even get in front of the prince. How can he tell the truth from the false?"

Yun Qing sneered again, unable to bear it any longer: "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Even if you want to fool a child, don't use such a lame excuse."

Cang Xu said awkwardly, "Ahem!... Look at what you said, kid. The Crown Prince is missing. Such a serious matter cannot be treated lightly. Once this matter becomes known, it will cause unrest in the court and shake the whole country. The other three countries will also take action. If they join forces, the destruction of Great Qi is just around the corner."

Yun Qing actually believed this. After all, Crown Prince Shaojun was very famous, and he and his Night Wolf Army were enough to intimidate the four countries.

Yun Qing: "Didn't my father just disappear? Didn't he disappear before? Why was the late emperor so sure that my father wouldn't come back this time?"

Cang Xu continued righteously, "The late emperor knew the Crown Prince's temperament all too well and had long anticipated that he would never return. However, as a father, he couldn't let go of his son's safety. If word of his disappearance were to spread, it would undoubtedly attract the pursuit of the four nations."

"Your Majesty, with great reluctance, can only announce to the public that His Highness has passed away. This is undoubtedly a helpless move, as it is the only way to ensure His Highness's safety."

Yun Qing felt suspicious as soon as he heard this. First of all, the late emperor was not a person who acted on emotion.

On the contrary, for the sake of the country and the stability of the court, the late emperor would first depose the crown prince and then make him the heir apparent. This was the style of Emperor Yong'an.

So! What is the truth?
