Of course, if it were just that, the crown prince of the Labor Kingdom would not go there in person. The main reason was that after the mountain collapsed, a cave appeared. A stone man was salvaged from the cave, and a prophecy was engraved on the stone man.

Empress Dowager Chen had arranged this kind of inciting trick for the third prince, but it had failed.

It's just that Empress Dowager Chen is too utilitarian, and the so-called visions and nursery rhymes are not very clever.

But the stone man discovered this time was originally buried deep underground. If the mountain had not collapsed, it would not have been discovered. At the same time, many decayed armors, weapons, and corpses were also discovered.

The words engraved on the stone man's body were all covered with moss, but during the transportation process, someone accidentally rubbed off part of the moss, revealing the word "death".

The local government did not dare to take it lightly, so they rushed six hundred miles to report to the court.

Both Emperor Wenchang and the prince felt that this matter was not trivial.

The prince decided to go in person.

Emperor Wenchang and his subordinates in the East Palace tried their best to dissuade him, but in the end they were persuaded by the prince.

However, the prince did not act recklessly. Although he traveled incognito this time, he dispatched [-] garrison troops from the capital for protection.

In addition to the two advisers, there were also a hundred guards accompanying him. Three were posted on the surface, and the rest were broken into pieces and guarded nearby.

One of these two advisers was Cao Gang.

Huang Zheng couldn't help but stumbled: "If this prince doesn't stay well in the capital, why would he come out and become a target?" The second prince was still thinking behind closed doors. The third prince had been demoted to a commoner and exiled in Lingnan. He was the only legitimate heir to the throne. Anyway...who can afford the consequences!
Galangian touched his snow-white beard and said, "In addition to the obvious reasons, there must be some inside information that is inconvenient for us to know, so the prince has to go in person."

Chu Dunru looked at his daughter: "Do you know what the second prince is doing in the capital?" The third prince is no longer a concern.

Even though the centipede insect is dead but not stiff, all the powerful members of the Chen family have been destroyed, and the ones left behind can at best ensure that the third prince's life will not be miserable.

And he firmly believed that the prince must also have many spies around the third prince.

On the other hand, the second prince is not easy to say. As the saying goes, "It's dark under the lamp."

Chu Yin shook his head, "I don't know. Although our family has a lot of property in Beijing, we try to avoid asking about matters in the court.

"The letters from Aunt Xu and Aunt Fu were just to talk to their daughter about their family affairs."

On the contrary, it was inconvenient for Taishi Xu to interact with Chu Dunru again.

Chu Dunru frowned and said, "You will go to the eldest princess later and ask her. We will first send people to find people according to the portraits of the prince and the second young master Cao.

"You can't just rely on portraits...you need to find people with similar stature and face shape to them."

Gao Liangjiang said: "This Quan Xiuwu's disguise technique is not that exquisite. The materials he uses basically last for twelve hours, which is the limit. It is indeed no longer possible to find people based on the portraits of the Crown Prince and Second Young Master Cao."

Chu Yin nodded in agreement and stood up immediately, "Then I will go to the eldest princess's place right now. I think the eldest princess is also waiting for our news."

Chu Dunru waved his hand: "Go and come back quickly. Let's think about it for a while and see if we can find or think of anything useful."

When Chu Yin arrived, Princess Jingyang was fishing under the willow tree by the lake, and Huang Qingyu was sitting next to her painting.

From a distance it looks quiet and leisurely, but from a close look it's full of worries. (End of chapter)
