Lord Hou, you have been flopped again

Chapter 592 Inner Thief
When Di Yan returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already dark.

After some twists and turns, he was indeed a little tired.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, Wei Ying hurried over.

"His Royal Highness." Wei Ying looked a little nervous and uneasy.

Di Yan asked: "What's the matter?"

Wei Ying looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he approached Di Yan, and said in a low voice, "I just went to the treasure house in the mansion to check, and found that the "Picture of Thousand Years of Foreign Dynasties" is gone."

what!
Di Yan frowned, and asked again, "Is that painting just lost? Didn't you lose anything else?"

Wei Ying nodded, "Yes. Everything else is there, except for the painting. And there is no sign of prying the lock of the treasure house. It doesn't look like someone forced it."

Wei Ying also said, "His Royal Highness once ordered that if the lord of the Black Eagle Society appears, you can use this picture to make a deal with him. I learned that the lord has come to the capital recently, so I wanted to take this picture and discuss it with you, His Royal Highness. , but when I went to the treasure house, I found that it had disappeared."

I thought maybe the prince took out the painting by himself, but the prince's reaction at this time told Wei Ying that he didn't take it, and the painting was indeed gone.

In the treasure house of the Prince's Mansion, although there are not many private treasures, all of them are priceless.

One of them is this "Picture of Thousand Years of Foreign Dynasties".

This painting was obtained by chance from a monk when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Beijing for a trip.

This painting can't be called a masterpiece, but it's just an ordinary picture outlining mountains and rivers.

It wasn't until he heard the prince talk about it that Wei Ying realized that the mystery in this painting was actually made by a knight-errant a hundred years ago. He left clues in this picture so that future generations can find the secret place where he hid the treasure.

It is also heard that there are thousands of treasures there, and the wealth can rival the country, which makes the lords of the gangs all over the world flock to it, wanting to take it for themselves, so as to command the entire rivers and lakes.

If this painting falls into the hands of other people, they will definitely go to find the treasure.But the prince only hid the painting, and didn't send anyone to hunt for treasure.Until Wei Ying was ordered to find the lord of the Black Eagle Society.

As for the treasure house where this painting is placed, Wei Ying takes care of it himself on weekdays, without any artificial hands.

Now that the painting suddenly disappeared, Wei Ying was of course worried.

At first, when Wei Ying said that the painting was missing, Di Yan felt a little uneasy.

But soon, he thought of something.

Although he found it incredible, he couldn't think of a second possibility.

The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, no matter if the visitor is an ordinary thief or a person who came here specially for this picture, it is impossible to come and go without a trace, without being discovered, and without leaving any clues.

There is even a lock with hidden secrets on the gate of the treasure house.If there is no key to forcibly pry it, it will only trigger the mechanism inside, not only it cannot be opened, but it will be locked even more tightly.

Therefore, the only person who can enter the treasure house is the one who holds the key.

Now in this world, only three people have the key to the treasure house.

Di Yan himself, Wei Ying.

Also, his crown princess, Qin Yu.

Before the wedding, Di Yan had given her the key to the treasure house.

Seeing Di Yan's silence, Wei Ying thought the situation was serious, and frowned even tighter, "His Royal Highness, I will be traced immediately, and the painting must be retrieved!"

Di Yan was about to speak when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"There's no need to look for it," said the voice, "I took that painting."

Sure enough.Di Yan pursed her lips, not surprised.I just don't know why she took that picture away.

Wei Ying stared at Qin Yu who was walking towards them with wide eyes.

He never expected that the person who "stolen" the painting would be the princess!
