She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 325: Sneaking into the Palace

"Our Emperor conferred the title of Princess on her a few months ago. He said she was his savior in his youth. I don't think any of you would believe this, would you? Not even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would believe it.

Alas, that’s not the case. Our eldest princess is the real eldest princess.

A few days ago, news came back from the front line that the Jinjiang City of the Wei Dynasty, which was captured by Canglan, was taken back by the Wei Dynasty.

My Canglan soldiers were so brave, but they just couldn't hold on.

Why? Because the Great Wei created a weapon so powerful that it was beyond anyone's imagination. With this weapon, the Great Wei defeated the Canglan soldiers and forced them to retreat to Luo'an City.

This incident made the emperor furious, and he revealed the identity of our eldest princess.

The eldest princess is our emperor's biological sister. More than forty years ago, she faked her death and was arranged by the late emperor to go to Wei. She became a concubine in the palace of Prince Rong of Wei. She lay dormant all her life and sacrificed her whole life for me, Canglan.

He has been providing me, Canglan, with news about the Great Wei, and finally stole the iron box from the Great Wei and brought it back to Canglan.

But the problem is that it is said that the iron box has already been opened by the Wei Dynasty, causing the years of efforts of the princess and her son to go to waste.

But they, mother and son, did make great sacrifices for my Canglan. They are the bravest and greatest princesses of my Canglan.

......"

The storyteller continued with great voice and emotion.

When Prince Jing and his two companions heard this, they knew that the storyteller was most likely bribed by Shangguan Hongzhe and his mother.

Now that Dawei has opened the iron box, their situation in Canglan is worrying.

They had a sense of crisis and wanted to gain support from public opinion so that Emperor Canglan would not blame them and their son for this matter.

Otherwise, Emperor Canglan would not have just recognized her as his sworn sister, but would have directly acknowledged her identity.

There was no need to confirm it. After listening to the storyteller's narration, Prince Jing became more certain.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage passed by the teahouse.

Prince Jing and his two companions happened to be sitting by the window, looking down.

I actually saw the third old lady of Prince Rong's Mansion sitting in the fragrant carriage with dancing gauze.

Shangguan Hongzhe was riding a horse to protect the carriage. Although he was wearing a half-mask, Prince Jing recognized him from his figure and the lower half of his face.

"Look, the eldest princess and Prince Zhe are passing by downstairs." A guest also looked out the window and saw them. He couldn't control his surprise and shouted.

This caused Shangguan Hongzhe to look upstairs.

Prince Jing immediately retracted his head.

The purpose of their trip today was achieved. After drinking two cups of tea, they returned to their rented place.

"Father, what should we do next?" Cao Jinyu asked.

"The purpose of our coming to Canglan is to bring the iron box back. Then find out where the iron box is. Once we get it, we will return home immediately."

"But it's easier said than done." Cao Jinyu knew that this was not an easy matter.

"Well, there's no rush. Let's plan slowly."

In the following days, Prince Jing arranged for people to focus on investigating the situation in the Canglan Palace.

With Yun Ling's help, they actually found a way to sneak into the palace.

That is, the little eunuch who goes in and out of the palace every day to pour night incense is a breakthrough.

There were ten night incense collectors in the Canglan Palace. Every day before dawn, they would push the night incense out of the west corner gate. They would dump the night incense into a place in the city that specialized in collecting it, and then transport it out of the city to be sold to farmers as fertilizer.

Two of them carried a car out to empty it.

They seized the opportunity.

After observing for a few days, I found that these people did not walk together. Whoever walked faster would come out first.

If you fall, go back, but check the cards when you go in.

Prince Jing and his men sneaked into the palace in several groups.

They took advantage of the fact that there was no one around a group of people pouring night incense, knocked the two men down, dragged them away, and had their own people disguise themselves as the two eunuchs in advance, put on their clothes, took their belongings, and sneaked into the palace.

First, sneak in a group, and after they are familiar with the inside, when they come out to pour out the night incense, hide the people under the carriage one by one and bring them in.

In this way, after about twenty days, Prince Jing and more than a dozen people sneaked into the Canglan Palace.

The two who pretended to be night incense dealers were right in the open.

Build relationships with the palace maids and inquire about the news in each palace.

The dozen or so people who hid were hidden in the cold palace.

Emperor Canglan is already old, and there are not many concubines who were banished to the cold palace and are still alive today, so there is basically no one living here.

At night, they would secretly inquire about the situation in the palace.

When the opportunity arises, get rid of a eunuch and then it will be easy to become that person.

And during the time they were staying in the palace, Shangguan Ziqi captured another city on the front line.

Two cities have now been recovered.

On the other side of Rongyun City, General Chen had already driven the attacking enemy back to Canglan.

The eldest prince directly launched an attack on Cangjiang City of Canglan, where there were 30,000 Canglan defenders.

The eldest prince had only ten bombs, but he used three of them to scare the enemy so much that they stayed in the city and dared not come out.

Bomb production couldn't keep up with demand, so they had to slow down.

at the same time.

The army led by Prince Liu of Southern Shu also arrived at the border with Canglan.

When Emperor Canglan received the news, he was so angry that he cursed his sister in the imperial study.

But he also knew that his sister had done so much for him, and he couldn't blame her entirely for her incompetence.

The Imperial City Guard had 300,000 troops. When he learned that Southern Shu had sent troops, he sent out 50,000 advance troops.

He also issued orders to garrisons in various places to dispatch troops to provide support.

There are nearly 800,000 soldiers in the entire Canglan, but it is impossible for all of them to be deployed to the front line. Only the Imperial City Guards are agile.

Now they've all been sent out.

It's like being attacked from both sides.

But he had no good solution now and could only rely on the soldiers on the front line.

He couldn't wait to use the idea proposed by the prince.

But he also felt that the idea was too toxic. If he wasn't careful, it would affect him. He wanted to wait a little longer.

These days, Emperor Canglan has not entered the harem and has been resting in the imperial study.

That night, he took out the iron box again and wanted to try it.

Da Wei was able to open it, maybe he was lucky enough to open it.

He estimated that the bomb formula was still in the iron box.

Because the iron box is the safest place, the most Da Wei could do is take it out and copy it.

The iron box is safe no matter who holds it.

As long as you can't open it, you can't get the recipe.

He fiddled with it countless times, but it didn't budge.

"Eunuch Mo, you come and try it too." Emperor Canglan became impatient and called the chief steward who was serving beside him to come and try it as well.

"Your Majesty, how can a servant like me have the right to touch such a valuable item?" The old eunuch did not dare to touch it.

What if he really guessed it right and it opened? Would he still have a chance to survive?

The emperor would definitely get the password and then give him a cup of poisoned wine to shut him up forever.

He doesn't want to die yet.

"Just try it if I tell you to. Don't think too much." Emperor Canglan shouted coldly.

The chief steward had no choice but to step forward tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, that old servant has overstepped his bounds."

"Okay, if you can really open it, I will remember your great achievement."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The chief steward dialed the number with trembling hands.

But his forehead was covered with sweat and he didn't move at all.

He was about to confess his crime.
