Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 332: An Unusual Transaction (Part 2)
"Ah?" Xu Zun stood up from his chair in shock, "Who is it?!"
It was impossible for Xu Zun not to react, because the purpose of his voyage this time was not just to find the prince.
The most important thing is to know whether the prince has any relationship with Xuanmen.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess actually hit the point directly!
"Sir," the Crown Princess obviously did not expect Xu Zun to react like this, and immediately said, "What do you say? As long as you help me get out of this situation, I will tell you who that person is."
"Oh... no..." She shook her head gently and said, "There will be more than one. When the time comes, I will tell you everything!"
Li Ren...is it Li Ren?
Xu Zun almost blurted out what he was saying, only then did he realize how unwise his behavior was.
The Crown Princess is a smart woman, and this reaction of hers will definitely let her know her weaknesses.
However, the incident happened suddenly and Xu Zun was not prepared .
"Crown Princess," Xu Zun immediately regained his composure and asked, "You just said that, but do you know how serious the crime of having secret dealings with the Xuanmen rebels is?
"How do you know such an important thing?"
The Crown Princess smiled slightly and immediately realized that Xu Zun was trying to test her.
However, this further proves that Xu Zun cares very much about this information.
"After all, the Crown Prince and I are husband and wife," the Crown Princess said, "I naturally heard about who he was meeting secretly at home.
"Every time they meet, they always say some strange code words, which sounds very wrong!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun deliberately asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true," the Crown Princess said, "Because of this, I live in fear every day. The Queen Mother has many eyes and ears. If she finds out, I will be implicated!
"But, I can't tell him this directly, it's really difficult!
"My Lord, I'm going to tell you the truth," the Crown Princess said, "the days since I left Daxuan and went on a diplomatic mission to the East China Sea have been the most relaxing time for me since I entered the palace.
"I want to live, I want to live freely, so," she looked at Xu Zun pleadingly, "please give me a way to live! Don't worry, there will be no more Crown Princess and no more Tian Jing.
"I will hide my identity and live out the rest of my life in the East China Sea, and never set foot in the Great Mystery again!"
well……
Xu Zun sighed in his heart, feeling that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
Since the Crown Princess has told you about Xuanmen, it means she has made up her mind and will not look back.
I don't know what her reaction will be when she finds out about the catastrophe that happened in the Holy City? Will she regret telling this secret?
"Okay!" Xu Zun felt that it was getting late, so he simply clasped his fists and said, "Crown Princess, this matter is of great importance. I... must weigh it carefully."
"Okay," the Crown Princess said, "It will take us ten days to get to the Banshee Country. I hope you can give me a reply before we get there.
"Sir," she said suddenly with a gloomy face, "I am not threatening you. If our deal cannot be concluded, then your situation will not be good after returning to the Holy City."
"you!?"
Xu Zun glared, he didn't expect her to threaten him.
However, after thinking for a few seconds, he felt relieved.
Yes, this Crown Princess is very thoughtful. After returning to Daxuan, even if she can't protect herself, there are still many ways to drag me into the water.
This woman... is really hard to mess with, but... I actually like her quite a bit, hehe...
"I understand," Xu Zun bowed, "I will definitely consider it carefully!"
After saying that, Xu Zun turned and walked towards the door.
However, just as he was about to open the door, the Crown Princess stopped him again and said, "Master Xu, please don't think that I am exaggerating!
"I can tell you responsibly that the Xuanmen spy is on this ship!"
"You!?" Xu Zun turned around and glared at him for the second time.
The Crown Princess's words obviously left him with a big suspense and whetted his appetite.
However, this time Xu Zun learned his lesson and asked casually, "Oh, so it's among those musicians and warriors?"
The reason why Xu Zun asked this was that he wanted to rule out the possibility that at least this Xuanmen spy was not from his side.
However, the shrewd Crown Princess did not fall for it, but changed the subject and said:
"Don't think it's that captain," she said with a raised corner of her mouth, "Shen Xingran is not a Xuanmen spy, he is the princess's man!"
“…”Xu Zun was speechless for a moment, feeling goose bumps all over his body.
"After Shen Xingran was transferred from the Ministry of War, he has been following the Crown Prince," the Crown Princess said, "Although he is the son of the former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he has joined the Princess. He was sent by the Princess to monitor the Crown Prince."
"You..." Xu Zun was shocked and felt more and more mysterious, but he remained calm on his face, "Do you have any evidence?"
"This is not a secret at all. What evidence do you need?" The Crown Princess said nonchalantly, "I'm just curious. All the soldiers and sailors on the ship died on that island. Why did he survive?"
"Then..." Xu Zun didn't want to delay here any longer, so he asked, "Does the Crown Princess have anything else to tell me?"
"Yes," the Crown Princess said without hesitation, "I advise you to avoid that sea area when searching for the Crown Prince. Aren't you afraid of encountering sea monsters again?"
"Okay!" Xu Zun quickly clasped his fists, "This subordinate will remember this!"
After saying that, Xu Zun didn't delay any longer and quickly opened the door and came out.
"Sir, sir," Ani had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Xu Zun coming out, she hurriedly came forward and asked curiously, "How was it? Why did you talk for so long?"
"Ani," Xu Zun held Ani's shoulders and said very seriously, "Listen to me, keep a close eye on this woman, and... try to talk to her as little as possible, and don't let her trick you into leaving."
"Ah?" Ani's expression tensed, " What? Is there a problem?"
"Well, this is a big problem!" Xu Zun frowned, feeling a little breathless.
"Okay," Ani nodded, "Don't worry!"
After coming out of the cabin, Xu Zun couldn't help but feel worried.
In just such a short conversation, the Crown Princess revealed so much information to him.
The prince might have had an affair with Xuanmen. Was he instigated by Lushan Gong Li Ren? And was he the one who revealed the secret room in Wanfu Palace?
Also, the Xuanmen spy was on the ship, who could it be? Apart from Shen Xingran, there were only the dancers and musicians.
Are the Xuanmen spies among these people?
Or maybe, the Crown Princess just wanted to create a sense of oppression for herself and force herself to submit?
And...Shen Xingran!!!
If he is the princess's man, the princess... the most powerful person in the court must be Princess Ronghua?
Why did Princess Ronghua send people to monitor the prince?
Shen Xingran is the princess’s man, so...what about Shen Qian?
Also, could Shen Tiande’s death... also be related to Princess Ronghua?
