Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 580: Going in the wrong direction from the beginning

I thought it was just an ordinary project, but later I found out that it was actually a secret operation.

They made me shave my head and become a monk in order to conceal my whereabouts and allow me to enter and exit the palace for inspection more easily.

Why do we have to do it in secret when digging a tunnel?

I knew something was fishy.

But the money had already been received, and I was only thinking about giving Qingniang a good life, so I turned a blind eye and dug the tunnel in secret.

Unexpectedly, on the second day after the tunnel was dug, the emperor heard that the fairy fell into the canal and disappeared. The emperor was furious and heavily guarded the entire palace.

When I heard about this, I intuitively felt that it was related to the tunnel, so I secretly left the Dragon King Temple that night.

After leaving the Dragon King Temple, I didn't dare go back to find Qingniang, for fear of bringing trouble to Qingniang, so I found a small village to hide in.

He thought he could avoid this disaster, but he didn't expect that the law would catch up with him and he couldn't escape it, and Qingniang was also implicated in it.

It was my greed that caused me to do this. It has nothing to do with Qingniang. I am willing to bear all the punishments. Please let Qingniang go, Your Majesty!"

As the burly monk spoke, he prostrated himself on the ground and knocked his head deeply.

When Qingniang heard this, she burst into tears, feeling anxious and angry.

She choked up and said, "How could you be so stupid? How could you be so stupid! As long as I am with you, I am willing to eat coarse food. Why did you do such a evil thing..."

The rough monk felt heartbroken.

It’s all his fault for being greedy!
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. People paid him such a high price to dig a channel. There must be something fishy going on. He was blinded by money! Chen Shoufu asked coldly, "Where is the opening of the tunnel?"

The burly monk still knocked his head heavily there, and said in a trembling voice: "It's on the big rock next to the stage. There is a mechanism inside the big rock. There is nothing unusual to see from the outside."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards went out to check.

The Minister of Works also went out to check.

After a while, two guards came in and reported respectfully: "After smashing the big rock, we found a tunnel inside, which leads directly to the Dragon King Temple."

When everyone heard it, they were all shocked and dumbfounded.

It seems that the fairy lady did not disappear out of thin air, but was pulled away from the tunnel!
After the accident, all the guards searched along the canal all the way to Yanjiang River. They almost searched the entire canal, but they found themselves in the wrong direction from the beginning!
In order to get rid of the Fairy Queen, they actually spent a huge amount of money to dig a tunnel. What a big deal!
Who is it? What kind of organization?
He actually has such great abilities!
By digging such a tunnel, it would be easy to take away not only the Fairy Queen, but also any one of them.

Originally, they were angry because Empress Xia was missing and the Emperor had made such a fuss and put them under house arrest, but at this moment, they were very grateful that the Emperor had sent heavy troops to guard the palace in time.

Otherwise, they might have been abducted as well.

Their wives and daughters are still in the palace. They are all powerless. If they are taken away...

Just thinking about it makes me scared.

The Minister of Works was furious: "This tunnel is so long that it will destroy the entire structure of the palace!
In order to get rid of Empress Xia, he actually did something so destructive to the foundation. It's simply insane!
Such a cruel and insane organization must be found out and severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

The frightened ministers immediately echoed loudly...
