Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Prince Hong's Mansion, as the residence of the most powerful prince in the Chu Kingdom, was naturally extremely luxurious.

There are carved beams and painted buildings, and winding paths lead to secluded areas.

The outer wall is engraved with a defensive formation that is no weaker than the imperial city, and the area inside is as vast as a mountain range.

Even after Prince Hong's death, he will still have his old ministers guarding this place.

Now Prince Hong's Mansion has welcomed back its owner "Miss Shen Xian", and it has also been able to summon back its former ministers.

"Princess, you are back."

As soon as they reached the door of Prince Hong's Mansion, an old housekeeper, led by dozens of maids, stood respectfully at the door. Seeing Miss Shen Xian and Lin Bai approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"This is Lin Wei, the chief steward of Prince Hong's Mansion. People who know him well call him 'Uncle Lin'."

Miss Shen Xian introduced Lin Bai.

The chief steward named "Lin Bai" always had a smile on his face. When he heard Miss Shen Xian introduce himself, he faced Lin Bai and nodded, but his eyes revealed a profound light.

"I've met Mr. Wolf Marquis." Lin Bo bowed and saluted.

"Uncle Lin, you don't have to be polite." Lin Bai nodded, indicating that Lin Bai didn't need to be polite.

At this moment, he took a serious look at Uncle Lin, and saw that this man was middle-aged, with a round face, a kind smile, and a look of happiness.

But as Lin Bai looked at him carefully, he discovered that...this Lin Bai was actually a warrior in the Daluo Daoguo realm!

Hiss...A warrior from the Daluo Daoguo realm is actually working as a steward in Prince Hong's Mansion? ... Lin Bai couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"Place tea in the study, go and ask Chao Yushi to come over." Miss Shen Xian ordered as she walked towards the interior of the palace.

Lin Bai also followed Miss Shen Xian and walked into Prince Hong's palace.

Although the palace is huge, there are not many maids and servants in it. Firstly, it is because after the destruction of Prince Hong's palace, many servants and maids have scattered. Secondly, because Miss Shen Xian currently lives alone in the palace and does not need it. So many people.

It is enough for her to have a few maids to take care of her food and daily life.

But the luxury of Prince Hong's Mansion shocked Lin Bai. This mansion, which was once the most powerful prince in Chu State, can be said to be a unique mansion in the world.

Entering from the gate of the palace is like walking into a courtyard deep in the mountains. Looking around, you can see small bridges and flowing water, numerous pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, and winding paths leading to secluded areas.

Luxurious palace lofts are nestled among emerald green vegetation; young maids shuttle under the cloisters.

In the palace, the magic circle is densely covered and airtight, like a sky net. Even if the birds enter, they cannot escape the interference of the magic circle.

Of course... As the most powerful prince in the Chu Kingdom, all expenses of the palace were paid by the royal family, so there was no need to worry about expenses.

In the study room of Prince Hong's Mansion, the floor was covered with tiger skins of unknown ferocious beasts, and dark red bookshelves and cabinets stood around like a forest.

A long table and a chair were placed among many shelves.

When Lin Bai walked into this place for the first time, he felt a strong pressure, as if he was about to meet an overlord, which almost made him breathless.

Miss Shen Xian walked past the bookshelf in the study, came to the chair and sat down, "My father used to sit here and discuss military matters with many ministers."

Above the desk and chair, there is a plaque hanging with four large gilt characters "Pillar Stone of the State of Chu".

In front of the desk is a vast hall with hundreds of chairs. It was obviously the place where Prince Hong once held meetings.

Standing in the hall, Lin Bai looked up at Miss Shen Xian sitting behind the desk. He squinted his eyes and could imagine that there was once an overlord-level existence who once sat in Miss Shen Xian's current position and scolded Fang Qiu. Point the country.

It's a pity that all of this no longer exists, and the former overlord of the Eastern Region has also turned into a cup of loess.

The person sitting under the plaque of "Pillar Stone of Chu" has also become the seemingly frail woman.

"I've heard some things about Prince Hong's Mansion..." Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "I heard... that the prince's concubine is a remnant of the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

Miss Shen Xian did not evade, but nodded generously and said, "Yes, it is said that the Zhaoxing Division's investigation is indeed true."

"My mother was a spy carefully cultivated by the Nine Nether Demon Palace. She was sent to Prince Hong's Mansion and soon gained the favor of my father. Later, I was born."

The destruction of Prince Hong's Mansion is inseparable from the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Back then, someone reported the identity of the princess in Prince Hong's Mansion. Emperor Chu was furious and summoned Prince Hong and the princess in the Golden Palace.

In the end, both Prince Hong and Princess Hong were forced to die in the Golden Palace, and Miss Shen Xian, who was young at that time, was also punished to the Moon Palace to reflect on her mistakes.

"Do you want to know who is the person who reported Prince Hong's Mansion?" Miss Shen Xian asked.

Lin Bai frowned slightly and had a guess in his mind, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he shook his head.

Miss Shen Xian chuckled and said, "You have obviously guessed it, why don't you say it yourself."

Lin Bai smiled bitterly, "A person from Prince Liang's Mansion?"

Miss Shen Xian said, "It was King Liang who went to see Emperor Chu personally with the evidence, and that's what happened later."

Lin Bai's expression suddenly revealed a sense of disbelief. He originally thought that Prince Liang's Mansion had arranged for someone to report the matter, but he did not expect that Prince Liang personally went to report it.

Now combined with the evidence and history, it seems that Prince Hong and Princess Hong died unjustly.

One hundred thousand years ago, the warriors from the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm exhausted their strength and mental strength before destroying the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

After wasting so much energy, they naturally did not want to see the Nine Nether Demon Palace resurrect.

Therefore, currently in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, anyone and anything that is involved with the Nine Nether Demon Palace has violated a taboo.

Although the princess was trained by the Nine Nether Demon Palace and placed next to Prince Hong, she was indeed a remnant of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, so she deserved her death.

Lin Bai smiled coquettishly, "Princess, are you planning to take revenge on Prince Liang's Mansion?"

Miss Chen Xian smiled and said, "Why not? As children, shouldn't we avenge our parents?"

Lin Bai frowned and said, "But the cause of death of Prince Hong and Princess Hong is well-proven. It seems..."

"You want to say that you deserved to die." Miss Shen Xian added what Lin Bai had not finished.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly and nodded.

Miss Chen Xian sighed, "Then what if I tell you that Prince Liang's Mansion has been colluding with the Nine Nether Demon Palace?"

“Don’t Prince Liang’s Mansion deserve to die?”

Hiss... Lin Bai's pupils shrank, with a look of horror on his face.

Miss Shen Xian's words shocked Lin Bai. Did Prince Liang's Mansion also have some connection with Jiuyou Demon Palace?

Miss Chen Xian said calmly: "Master Langhou, let me tell you the truth. Within the royal family of Chu State today, as long as there are some powerful princes or powerful ministers, there are almost spies from Jiuyou Demon Palace in the government office. .”

"It's not just the Chu State's court and royal family that are like this. Within the Chu State's five families and seven sects, can you guarantee that there are no spies from the Nine Nether Demon Palace in high positions?"

As soon as he said this, Lin Bai's face immediately darkened. He knew that Miss Shen Xian was absolutely right.
