Chapter 131 Whose Ugly Maid Is
The prince stared at Chu Caiwei with a gloomy face, his eyes were as cold as ice. At the same time, Xuan Bao quietly returned to the prince's side and reported to him in a low voice: "Your Highness, the ugly maid actually arrived at the princess's residence before the eighth princess went to the banquet. She claimed that she was entrusted by the immortal master to give the eighth princess a mysterious magic weapon."
Xuan Bao paused before continuing: "However, after further investigation of the Immortal Master's Mansion, I found that this woman did not exist in the Immortal Master's Mansion at all. Even more bizarre is that we found the body of the servant who was responsible for transporting weapons under the cliff near the Immortal Master's Mansion, and the sword that was supposed to be given to the Eighth Princess was now tightly held in the hands of the deceased! The weapon that the Immortal Master's Mansion was going to send to the Princess' Mansion was not the Fang Tian Hua Ji!"
Hearing this, Chu Caiwei couldn't help but be shocked. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "Xuanbao! You mean, the ugly maid who came to deliver weapons that day was not from the Immortal Master's Mansion? How is this possible? She was clearly holding the token of the Immortal Master's Mansion at that time! And that Fang Tian Huaji, I have never seen it before. If it is not a weapon from the Immortal Master's Mansion, then where does it belong to?" Her heart was full of doubts and shock, and she could not accept this fact for a while.
The prince's eyes were like deep black holes, staring at Chu Caiwei closely. His voice was low and majestic: "That woman not only has the token of the Tianshi Mansion, but she also dared to steal this prince's East Palace token and your jade pendant! This prince really wants to find out who this person is?"
Chu Caiwei was frightened by the prince's sharp gaze, and her body trembled involuntarily. She knelt down hurriedly, holding the prince's robe tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Brother Prince! Please don't misunderstand! How could Caiwei have the intention to harm you? Caiwei and you are blood-related siblings! Caiwei only hopes that brother prince can achieve great things and become a wise ruler! Brother Prince, please believe in Caiwei!"
The prince's face remained expressionless despite Chu Caiwei's crying, but he still reached out to help her up, and said in a serious tone: "As the legitimate princess of Da Zhao, you must not kneel down easily! This prince has no doubts about you! But this ugly maid must be found as soon as possible!"
Chu Caiwei and the servants of the princess's mansion finally returned to the familiar princess's mansion. Although the prince verbally expressed his trust in Chu Caiwei, he actually sent more people to guard the place, protecting the entire princess's mansion like an iron barrel.
At this moment, Mei Xiang was helping Chu Caiwei with her hair and wash. She lowered her voice and whispered to Chu Caiwei, "Princess, this time it is really thanks to the careful and thoughtful plan of the Dark Moon Pavilion Master! If not, with the Crown Prince's suspicious character, we would probably have a hard time getting out of this predicament!"
Chu Caiwei nodded slightly to show her agreement. She knew the prince's personality very well. Although he swore to trust her on the surface, he was always full of doubts and vigilance in his heart. And the fact that he could return to the princess's mansion smoothly this time was indeed due to the detailed strategy formulated in advance by the Dark Moon Pavilion Master.
Thinking of this, Chu Caiwei couldn't help but secretly feel lucky, but at the same time she was also wary of the challenges she might face next. After all, the current situation was still confusing, and no one could predict what would happen in the future...
Chu Caiwei's eyes were filled with endless hatred. She gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice: "My so-called good brother is simply a cold-blooded and heartless person without any family affection!" As she spoke, she clenched her fists, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and resentment in her heart.
Hui Xiang frowned slightly, sighed softly, then pulled the corner of her mouth and comforted: "Princess, please rest assured! They will definitely trace it back to the third prince in the end! Princess, evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers!"
As night fell, everything was silent. In the silence of the night, a group of mysterious secret guards of the prince quietly took action. After a hard and arduous investigation and tracking, they finally got a shocking result. The missing ugly maid turned out to be a subordinate of the third prince Chu Chengyan!
This discovery was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the counselors of the East Palace. Everyone was shocked, no one expected that the seemingly gentle Third Prince actually had a group of people with strong martial arts skills. At this moment, after the Crown Prince learned of this news, his anger burned even more fiercely. He knew very well the methods and schemes of his third brother, and understood that this struggle had just begun...
The prince was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was about to spit fire. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood flowed down his fingers, but he was completely unaware.
He gnashed his teeth and roared, "Chu Chengyan! How dare you plot against this prince! This prince and you will never coexist!" The voice was deafening and echoed throughout the palace, making people feel terrified.
At this moment, Xuan Hu and You Chi hurriedly walked into the palace. You Chi looked solemn, half-knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "Your Highness! It's bad, our base has been picked by the Third Prince's people!"
Upon hearing this, the prince was shocked and shouted angrily: "What is going on? How does the third prince know where our base is?" He widened his eyes and stared at Youchi, his eyes full of questioning.
You Chi buried his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the prince. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Prince, calm down! When we assassinated Zhang Liu and his son before, the secret guard who was responsible for contacting the death squad was unfortunately captured by Emperor Wen's men. After this secret guard fell into the hands of Emperor Wen, he was handed over to the third prince. I guess it was from him that we learned the location of our stronghold, so the third prince sent people to launch a surprise attack. We suffered heavy losses in this attack, with countless casualties..." At the end, You Chi's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was still in fear.
The prince clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and his voice was as sharp as ice chips: "My dear father! You are so calm, let Chu Chengyan fight against this prince!"
He then turned his gaze to Xuan Hu and ordered in a firm tone: "Immediately lead You Chi and others to safely move out of the capital. At the same time, send someone to get rid of the traitor! We must keep a low profile in the near future to avoid causing unnecessary trouble!"
At this time, the Third Prince was celebrating his victory with a group of his staff in his palace. This successful blow to the Crown Prince's hidden forces was truly a major event worth celebrating!
However, just as everyone was laughing and talking, a subordinate came in a hurry to report: "Your Highness! It's bad, the secret guard imprisoned in the cell has been killed! And the murderer who killed him chose to commit suicide by taking poison!"
Upon hearing the news, the third prince raised his lips slightly and chuckled, "It doesn't matter! The one who died was just an insignificant person, but the secret agent that the crown prince had planted next to me was eliminated! It's all worth it!"
