fake prince

Chapter 183

Back room

It looks dim during the day, and the steps allow people to walk here from above. I don’t know if it’s because of Cao Yiyan’s habit. A place to connect with people.

Of course, Cao Yiyan thinks this is normal, even if the probability is very low, isn't it an idiot to put these things that are sensitive enough to be beheaded outside?

With a "pop", the candles lit up one by one, and Cao Yiyan walked to the center.

The surrounding area is empty, only in the center is a bronze mirror that is as tall as a person, the lower half is the mirror holder, and the upper half is a round bronze mirror carved like a woman's dressing.

The mirror surface is smooth, and the light can be used as a guide.

But when Cao Yiyan's hand brushed the mirror lightly, water ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror. After a while, a somewhat blurry figure appeared in the mirror.

"My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have become more advanced in Taoism." Cao Yiyan greeted respectfully.

"Let's gossip, you suddenly came to me, but what's the problem?" The figure asked with a chuckle.

Cao Yiyan was not embarrassed by the other party's direct denunciation of her intentions, and said respectfully, "Something happened to Liu Zhan."

"Oh? Speak carefully."

"Not long ago, Liu Zhan sent me a message suddenly. I went over and found out that both he and Zheng Yingci were injured, but he didn't want to come back with me to recuperate..."

Cao Yiyan didn't say anything about Sun Buhan, but directly held the small blood-stained rag to the magic weapon, so that the other party could see clearly.

A ball of dim light expanded, including blood-stained clothes and rags, and the blurred image in the mirror was silent for a while, Cao Yiyan knew that the figure should be concentrating on sensing.

"I didn't expect that Liu Zhan would suffer such a big loss in this matter." When the figure spoke again, there was already a hint of surprise in his words.

"He was seriously injured?" Cao Yiyan was surprised.

"It will take at least a few years of recuperation to recover." Human Shadow said affirmatively.

After a while, the figure said again: "Actually, I have already got news about Liu Zhan's injury. He tricked Luo Pei's blood sacrifice to open the Dragon Palace, which involved the fifth-rank magistrate. This is not a trivial matter."

"Originally, His Royal Highness King Qi was furious, and wanted to tell His Majesty about this matter, and took the opportunity to punish Luo Pei, but he got in touch with the root cause of the flood, and under the condition of effective flood control, let alone kill a magistrate, just kill one or two more with actual crimes. The local magistrates are just guilty, even if they are guilty, it will not be too serious."

The shadow sighed: "This Luo Pei lost his life, and Liu Zhan will benefit from it."

After hearing this, Cao Yiyan nodded, "His luck is indeed good."

I don't know if he is talking about Liu Zhan or Luo Pei.

"The news has been transmitted directly back to the capital through the secret method." The man in the mirror sighed: "This incident has further proved that Lord Long can control the wind and rain and influence the weather."

"With the help of the dragon, the weather is smooth and the weather is good. No one can afford the consequences of being an enemy of the dragon. Therefore, the imperial court has plans to re-canonize it."

Cao Yiyan frowned slightly. He had mixed feelings about the young dragon in the Dragon Palace of Panlong Lake.

But it is not easy to tell the person in front of him about this matter. After all, although this person sympathizes with Da Wei and has given him shelter several times, he is not from Da Wei.

Cao Yiyan nodded: "I understand, Panlong Lake, I will restrain my subordinates and will not provoke them in the near future."

The Zhenzheng Dynasty wants to re-canonize the young dragon. This Panlong Lake is the place where countless people are staring. Anyone who makes trouble at this time will not be well.

At the very least, there can't be too many actions, because it can't avoid the eyes and ears at all.

"That's right." Just before disappearing, the person in the mirror mentioned another thing: "That Su Ziji, you don't have to doubt his origin anymore, the result has been revealed, it can basically be concluded that it is the blood of the prince of this dynasty."

"It's really the blood of the prince of this dynasty?"

"That is the prince's survivor, who happened to send the prince's blood to the direct descendants of King Lu?"

"It's no wonder that Shen Cheng failed that day, and he still felt that this person was useless. I don't think it was because of this."

As for how to replace the child, Cao Yiyan didn't even ask, didn't even think about it, he could think of a hundred ways with his feet.

The image in the mirror disappeared, and Cao Yiyan paced slowly, pressing her hands on the wall without making any movement, and a secret door slowly opened in front of her.

He entered through the secret door, and the goal he entered was the bookshelf. The bookshelves were stacked with papers, each marked with yellow labels, and full of ink fragrance. One of the bookcases was even more faintly fluorescent. Cao Yiyan walked over and waved his hand, and the fluorescence weakened.

He bowed first, then took out a few files from inside, exited this area, pulled out a chair, and started to read.

"They're all in the internal treasury of the former dynasty, and many of them are emperor Zhu Bian. A few decades ago, they were still the center of the world's luck. Unfortunately, they are now old days."

Many of these archives have written instructions from imperial pens, and some are stamped with jade seals. Although things have changed and the paper or cloth is slightly yellowed, they still carry a trace of majesty.

Cao Yiyan took out one of them, opened it, and carefully looked at it line by line.

His brow furrowed again.

"I haven't looked at this one carefully before. Shizu actually gave the title of Young Dragon Princess of Panlong Lake? I've never heard of it."

"At the beginning, the ancestors once bestowed the young dragon, I have heard it, but it is only the position of the princess, because the dragon king has never had an emperor title, only the title of the dragon king, in fact, it is the prince, the princess is more reasonable, Why did Shizu want to be crowned a princess?"

Looking down again: "No wonder I have never heard of it. It turned out that when it was proposed, some people objected, saying that it did not comply with the rules."

"But even so, there should be records in the archives. After all, there are officials around Shizu who record the emperor's words and deeds. Although such a matter is not a major event, it is by no means an insignificant matter. Erase most of the traces, this matter itself is weird."

"However, hundreds of years ago... Dragon Lord, in fact, appeared at the same time as Shizu?"

First, he wanted to canonize the daughter of the Dragon Lord as a princess, but it seemed to appear at the same time as the Dragon Lord, which is a bit subtle.

Cao Yiyan was thoughtful, left the secret room, and went up, still thinking about it.

Glancing at the bookshelf in the room, he stepped over, searched, and found a book of Great Wei's Unofficial History that he seemed to have bought in his memory.

"That's it." Cao Yiyan flipped through several pages according to the impression she had read many years ago, and finally found what she was looking for.

"This unofficial history says that the young dragon is the daughter of the ancestor, his own?"

"This is really absurd... unless, Dragon Lord is a female dragon..."

Cao Yiyan thinks this speculation is ridiculous, but although it is unlikely, the young dragon is really the blood of the Great Wei royal family, so the revival of the Great Wei will have an extra bargaining chip, which is really not a bad thing.

"Do you want to contact the young dragon?"

"There is also Su Ziji, who is really the blood of the prince of this dynasty, and there is no harm in contacting him."
