Chapter 264 Discovering Blind Spots
Mu Yi shook his head. "It was just a master who escaped from the Ou Mansion with the unconscious child and the woman. If he hadn't been carrying two people, which was too heavy and slowed down his speed, he might not have been discovered by our people."
"So powerful?" Wu Lie was stunned. He knew that all those in charge of surveillance were from Team Mu.
"A woman and a man?" Shen Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I remember that only the eldest master in the Ou family had a son, and the second master had only a daughter, so this is the son of the bully? How could there be a master around the bully?"
Mr. Wu narrowed his eyes and said sternly, "This Luo City was the imperial capital of the previous dynasty. There are countless hidden forces. In fact, based on the intelligence I brought back today, I suspect... the emperor is not aware of the secret passage."
“What???!!!” several people exclaimed.
Wu Su on the side nodded, "That's right! I'm good at this aspect, I can't guarantee the other aspects, but from the soil and stone samples brought back by the spies, this secret passage has existed for at least a hundred years. It was either dug by the previous dynasty or the first few generations of emperors. In any case, it couldn't be dug by the current emperor, nor his father or his grandfather."
Wu Zhong listened to his address and coughed lightly, "Yes, Princess, you may not have looked carefully just now. Those tablets can be traced back to more than 200 years ago."
"hiss……"
"Sir, you have many talented people under your command. Does that mean that the Ou family is actually loyal to the forces of the previous dynasty?" Shen Yu asked curiously.
It's no wonder she thinks this way. Her master is from a family of imperial doctors from the previous dynasty. Her grandfather's Su family also seems to have some connection with the previous dynasty. Now any Ou family actually has a secret passage to the palace? This previous dynasty is really awesome. The throne of Linyue Kingdom has been passed down to the sixth generation, and there are still legends about it? !
Wu Zhong shook his head. “I don’t know about this, but after this incident, I’m afraid this secret passage will be exposed!”
"But isn't that girl from the Ou family the concubine of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards? Didn't he take her as a concubine because he knew that the Ou family had a secret passage? If he knew, then the dog emperor knew it!" Guyu rarely spoke, but he asked about the clue that everyone had been ignoring.
Shen Yu tapped his fingers on the table, "Where is that Mr. Ou now?"
"They were taken away by soldiers. After we left, they arrived and said someone had reported a break-in. Then the concubine of the Song family, Madam Song, and Mr. Song who was still asleep in the sedan were all taken away."
"Is that so...Mr. Wu, do you have a way to steal Uncle Ou out?" Shen Yu asked again.
Wu Zhong shook his head. "There's no way. If the secret passage is exposed, he will definitely not be able to escape. If the secret passage is not exposed, he should be released soon."
"Then...if we send someone in to tell him that his wife and children were captured by the emperor's men when they left the city, but were saved by us by chance, and ask him to hold on and not reveal anything to the emperor, is that okay?"
“That’s fine!” Wu Zhong smiled and went out to make the arrangements, obviously very satisfied with the princess’s ruthlessness… no, intelligence.
Shen Yu took out the pen and paper on the table and reshuffled all the known clues.
She sorted out the ideas one by one, occasionally adding her own thoughts in between. Seeing this, Wu Chen and the others did not leave, but gathered around to watch her write.
Shen Yu wrote very quickly, completely unaffected by them, as if she had entered a closed mode. This was her previous habit, when she was thinking she would automatically block out all distractions around her. She wrote one sheet after another, and several people grabbed for them one after another.
She started from the time she was granted marriage, and the conspiracy on the wedding night was arranged by the Queen Mother;
After the marriage, she went to the palace to express her gratitude, but the Empress Dowager did not come, and the Emperor gave her mother an imperial decree;
She auctioned her dowry herself, and the emperor was invited to attend;
The Queen's banquet, the Queen Mother's harassment was fruitless, the Emperor feared the evil spirit and took him away, then demoted Shen Nian, and imprisoned Luo Yunmei. The Emperor exposed Yu Ling's identity, and he pretended to surrender, and the Emperor did not give any orders;
At the Five Cities State Banquet, the emperor failed to stop the empress dowager from getting slapped in the face and deposed Xue Zhenzhen;
Before leaving and entering the palace, the emperor wanted to marry Ye Muan as a concubine, but Shen Nian was unable to marry;
Finally, now is the time to save my father, let Prince Zhuo bleed, the second prince is missing, and Shen Yu is left behind...
Shen Yu finally stopped writing and connected the clues one by one with her eyes closed. She found a blind spot. This emperor was very strange!
Because of the plot of the novel, she believed that the emperor and Lu Yingxing would fight to the death, but was this really the case?
Even everyone in Prince Zhuo's mansion believed that the emperor brought the prince back in order to make him useless and then take away his fiefdom, but the question is, is Lu Yingxing really useless?
Not to mention his own martial arts, Tongtian Tower, the guards, the secret agents, and Zhuo Chengjun, which one is not in his hands? And he is a young master who has been away from his fiefdom for twelve years, but doesn't he still have absolute control over Zhuocheng? This time the emperor seems to be making things difficult, but isn't he letting him go easily?
Although she was not good at scheming, she had read a lot of novels and watched TV dramas about patriarchal fighting in her previous life. What about bloody battles? Fierce fighting? Power struggles?
What's wrong with this summary... Eh? That's not right!
Shen Yu looked down at the piles of things, and suddenly an idea came to him. Wasn't the emperor's so-called difficulties really just playing house? Even the empress dowager worked harder than him, right?
"Princess... this..."
Wu Zhong came in again without knowing when, and kept staring at the paper she was analyzing with a serious face. This information actually made him feel like he was suddenly enlightened. Could it be that they had really made a misunderstanding before?
Shen Yu suddenly came back to her senses, looked at everyone who was stunned, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. Maybe she had exerted too much energy just now, why did she suddenly feel a little dizzy?
"You all tell me!"
You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke. After all, the princess's angle was too strange and it subverted their cognition.
Guyu spoke first, "If this is from the perspective of the princess, it is indeed true."
"Oh? You mean, you see things differently from the perspective of the palace?" Shen Yu was immediately curious about her. "Can you elaborate?"
"Well... let me put it this way, Princess, you have never been to Zhuo City. The situation there was really bad when I was a child. The people could barely make ends meet. I always thought that Linyue Kingdom was like this, but since I was sent out to gain experience at the age of twelve, I found that in the entire Linyue Kingdom, only Zhuo City was like this. It's like, it's like..."
"Being suppressed?" Shen Yu asked.
"Yes! In any case, our Zhuo City is in a miserable situation, while the other cities are just watching coldly!" Guyu added.
"What else?" Shen Yu asked again.
"In the entire Linyue Kingdom, we are the only ones who have to fight, and only our people... will die in the battle..." This time, Wu Liu spoke.
Shen Yu, who was looking down in deep thought, suddenly looked up when he heard this and said, "Sorry..."
She had not considered it carefully. Wu Liu Wu Chen's father died in the battle. At that time, they had to face foreign enemies and the economic blockade of several other cities, which prevented them from buying food and weapons...
"But these cannot prove a direct relationship with the emperor... If we take the princess's understanding as a premise, there is indeed not enough evidence to support it."
Wu Zhong and Shen Yu looked at each other and saw a kind of clarity called bystander's in each other's eyes.
