Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 330 Difficulties
Somewhere in the cabin.
Under the guidance of Ani, Xu Zun bowed his head and walked into a room in the cabin with great respect.
After entering, Xu Zun hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying:
"Grand Xuan Judge Xu Zun, I meet the Crown Princess!!!"
As the figures in the house moved, a woman in purple clothes came quickly to Xu Zun, bowed and said:
"Thank you very much for saving my life!"
“I dare not, I dare not…”
Xu Zun looked up and saw the Crown Princess wearing jewels and looking extremely gorgeous.
The Crown Princess's real name was Tian Jing. She came from the Tian family, an aristocratic family in Pingyuan, and had a distinguished identity and noble status.
After marrying into the royal family, she was given the title Renfei.
The word "Ren" is extremely honorable among the titles of concubines. It means being lenient, benevolent and kind, and embodies the virtue of being a model for the world. It can be seen that as soon as Concubine Ren entered the palace, she was tacitly agreed by the royal family to be the future queen.
"My lord," the Crown Princess pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Please take a seat! I have something to say!"
"Hmm..." Xu Zun nodded and said in his heart, you have something to say, and I have something to say too!
Originally, no one else should be present at such an important conversation.
But the Crown Princess has a special status and it is inappropriate for her to stay alone in a room.
Therefore, Xu Zun did not dismiss Annie and let Annie stand beside him.
However, after Xu Zun sat down, the Crown Princess did not speak for a long time, but looked at Ani nervously.
this……
Xu Zun knew that the Crown Princess must have some unspeakable secret and didn't want Ani to hear it.
However, it would be impolite to dismiss Annie myself.
"Oh, sir," Ani said tactfully as she remembered something, "I need to change the dressing for Ku Niang! It can't be taken off after it's done, I have to deal with it urgently!"
After saying that, without caring about Xu Zun's reaction, she quickly ran out of the room and closed the door.
Tsk tsk…
Xu Zun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the Crown Princess was not an ordinary married woman.
"Master Xu," Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess suddenly stood up, bowed to Xu Zungong, and said, "Please show me a way to survive!"
"ah?"
Xu Zun grinned and reached out his hand to support her out of habit, but when he was about to touch the other person's clothes, he remembered that physical contact was not allowed and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Oh, Crown Princess, you are embarrassing me," Xu Zun didn't know what to do, "Quick...quickly, please stand up!"
"My Lord," the Crown Princess suddenly burst into tears, "I don't want to die. Can you... think of a way to give me a chance to live?"
"This..." Xu Zun hurriedly advised, "What do you mean? Please let me go. I am going to the East China Sea to find the prince. As long as I find the prince, you can be reunited! Please don't..."
“My lord,” the Crown Princess sobbed, “My lord, please don’t treat me perfunctorily. Even if the Crown Prince is still alive, I’m afraid my life will also be… Alas… Alas…”
The Crown Princess' tears were like pearls, attracting people's pity.
Xu Zun finally understood that what the Crown Princess wanted to tell him was not about the Crown Prince, but about Wang Dian.
In fact...Xu Zun calmed down and thought about it. At that time, it would have been better for the Crown Princess to follow Wang Dian!
Fortunately, Wang Dian is one of the top ten masters of Daxuan, so maybe he can save her life?
But for some reason, Wang Dian let go at the last moment.
However, Xu Zun knew that this matter was beyond his ability, so he had to pretend to be confused and said, "Why do you say that, Crown Princess? You are the Crown Princess, who dares to take your life?"
"Your Excellency is asking questions even though you already know the answer," the Crown Princess said, "How could you not know what happened to me on that island?
"But..." She said sadly, "I am innocent, right? As a woman, what can I do? Besides... there are poisons that confuse the mind, I... I...
"Please, sir, save me!"
"Crown Princess," Xu Zun felt extremely embarrassed, thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it! We rescued you on the island, that's all, we don't know anything else..."
"My lord," the Crown Princess wiped away her tears and said disappointedly, "I knew you would say that, but look at the deck, there are so many warriors, dancers, musicians, and you...
"Do you think it's useful to cover up one's mistakes and steal the bell?
"You also know the Queen Mother's methods," the Crown Princess said desperately, "If she hears about this, how can I survive?
"Not to mention that the prince has already died, even if he is alive, can he protect me?"
"Crown Princess, you... um..." Xu Zun weighed the pros and cons and tried to comfort her, "Don't get excited yet. If you trust me, then tell me the whole story . Let's try to find out if there is any way to remedy the situation."
"Okay... okay... but..." The Crown Princess was puzzled, "Where should I start?"
"Crown Princess, please forgive me for being blunt," Xu Zun asked, "When the Crown Prince is accompanying the diplomatic corps to visit the East China Sea, the journey is long, bumpy, and dangerous, so he usually doesn't bring his family with him. Why... did you come along as well?"
"This..." The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and said, "You should all know, right?
"The prince wrote a poem that touched the queen mother's bottom line, so... the prince took the initiative to request to go on a diplomatic mission to the East China Sea, just to avoid disaster.
"The Crown Prince has committed a crime, how can I feel at ease? I had to follow him here! Although it is dangerous to go to the East Sea, it is better than living in fear in the East Palace!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "What happened to the prince?"
"What?" The Crown Princess was surprised. "Didn't Captain Shen tell you? We were attacked by sea monsters in the waters near the Banshee Kingdom. The Crown Prince's ship was sunk by , and our Tianfu ship also lost its way and eventually ran aground on that island..."
oh……
Xu Zun thought about it and it seemed that what Shen Xingran said was true.
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Did you see the Siren with your own eyes?"
"No!" said the Crown Princess. "I heard it from the people on the ship. For our safety, the guards did not let us leave the cabin."
"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "From the time you were attacked to the time you ran aground, how long did you sail on the sea?"
"Ten days, about ten days!"
"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "What happened on the ship in these ten days?"
"The ship seems to have lost control, the bow is damaged, water is entering the cabin, and there is something wrong with the sails," the princess replied. "In the past ten days, the people on the ship have been repairing it, but the ship is too big and it can't be repaired."
"How many people are there on board?"
"About a hundred people."
"Besides Shen Xingran, are there other officials?"
"General of the Cavalry Wei Pu, Admiral of the Navy Xiao Gui, the Secretary of the Imperial Weapons Bureau, and the Imperial Adviser," the Crown Princess replied, "as well as officials at all levels from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War, and in addition, the military commanders and school lieutenants."
"All these people," Xu Zun asked, "died on that island?"
“I don’t know about that,” the princess replied, “Although her mind is confused, she still has memories in her brain.
"On the first day I arrived there, Wang Dian took me deep into the palace and I no longer knew what happened in the front hall."
"Besides the royal canon," Xu Zun asked, "is there anything else deep in the palace?"
"No, I..." The Crown Princess obviously didn't want to mention Wang Dian's name anymore, and immediately said, "Sir, if I say that Wang Dian took me away, but nothing happened to me, would you believe it?"
Hearing this, Xu Zun fell into thought.
The answer is obvious, of course he doesn't believe it!
"So," the Crown Princess said, "These are no longer the point. No matter how I clarify, it will only make things worse!
"The point now is, how can adults help me?"
"Um……"
Xu Zun nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly realized that the Crown Princess had very clear ideas and must be a smart person.
"My lord," the Crown Princess stared into Xu Zun's eyes and said, "I won't let you help me for nothing. I can... give you some benefits!!!"
