How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 260: The intestines are full of shit, but it’s okay. You are thoughtful.

The suspicious look in Wuji's eyes did not disappear. He put away his sword and said to Wuhen beside him in a sarcastic tone, "I really don't understand what these people in the palace are thinking. Your Highness clearly went to the inner palace to attend court early in the morning and has not returned yet. But now they say that Your Highness is resting in the bedroom. They are also trying to trick you and me into dying in the fire."

Wuhen, who was standing by, held a long knife in his arms and replied calmly, "It's filled with shit. I've done a dissection, and it was full of shit."

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment, then he forced himself back to the point, "The Regent must have been imprisoned by the Crown Prince. It would be too slow for me to find him alone, so I need the assistance of both of you."

Upon hearing this, Wuhen and Wuji looked at each other.

Then the two of them talked in low voices.

"It has finally come to this."

"I said the prince was a lunatic and would fall ill sooner or later."

"We should have just killed the emperor and the crown prince and let Your Highness ascend the throne."

"Too little, if we don't stop here, we should kill the queen and the Cao family together."

"Why don't you just kill all of the prince's gang?"

"That's fine, you're still thoughtful."

Shen Yuan: “…” That’s enough!

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Can we find the Regent first before thinking about killing people?" Shen Yuan was really anxious. He was worried that Xie Jinyu would do something irreparable to Xie Chengze.

He was even more afraid that someone would interfere and use the soul incense to cause trouble, allowing the former Second Prince to come back again.

Wuhen and Wuji looked at each other again.

"Do you have any idea?"

"Since he dared to hide His Highness, he must have hidden His Highness in a place that you and I cannot enter."

"Inner Palace."

"more specific."

"They can't give any specifics, and they won't let me in."

Wu Ji couldn't help but curse, "Trash."

Wuhen responded calmly: "You are also a waste. You went into the inner palace twice to deliver letters, but you didn't even touch the map of the inner palace."

Wuji was choked for a moment: "..."

Shen Yuan rubbed his brows and said, "Forget it, you should disguise yourself and follow me into the inner palace to look for him."

With Wuhen and Wuji around, even if he was seriously injured and temporarily unable to fight, he should be able to take Xie Chengze away.

Wuhen and Wuji turned around and entered Chenghuan Palace. When they came out, they had changed into the uniforms of the imperial guards.

That night.

Presumably, Xie Jinyu discovered that Shen Yuan had left the Imperial Hospital and was afraid that he would find Xie Chengze, so the patrols and security in the palace were increased several levels.

The three people went to look for him separately. Shen Yuan found his insider in the harem and contacted Princess Showa Xie Shu.

Also coming with them was Princess Anhe Xie Pingan. The two little heads cautiously popped out from the back wall. After seeing Shen Yuan, they jumped over the wall and said, "Minister Shen came to see us late at night. What's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness the Regent has disappeared secretly. He must be hidden somewhere in the inner palace. I would like to ask you if you know of any underground secret rooms where he might be hidden?"

Xie Ping'an and Xie Shu looked at each other.

They knew which secret rooms there were in the inner palace, but they could tell this to their second brother but not to outsiders.

After all, Shen Yuan was an outsider, not a member of the royal family.

Seeing that the two were silent, Shen Yuan understood and said, "It's okay, I just hope that the two princesses can help find His Royal Highness the Regent."

"I would like to confirm that the Regent is safe, and I would like to ask the two princesses to hand this letter to His Royal Highness the Regent."

After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xie Pingan.

Xie Pingan reached out to take it and nodded, "Okay, I will go find my second brother."

Shen Yuan bowed and saluted, then left in a hurry.

Xie Shu stared at the letter in Xie Ping'an's hand, her eyes looking eager, "Take a look?"

"Isn't it bad?" Xie Pingan hesitated.

"Who knows whether what he said is true or false? This is for the sake of my second brother!" Xie Shu snatched the letter. The envelope was not sealed, and it was obvious that he was not afraid of them checking it. After reading the letter, Xie Shu's face became strange.

"What's wrong?" Xie Ping'an couldn't help but be curious and leaned over to take a look.

Then, "..."

"I guess I understood it correctly?"

Xie Shu trembled, feeling as if she had discovered some incredible secret.

Xie Pingan also began to tremble, "This, this... No way, my second brother and the prince are brothers..."

Xie Shu opened her mouth and then closed it again.

In fact, she knew that her second and third brothers were not brothers. She also learned about it from her mother accidentally. Her mother was very secretive about it. She accidentally told her that time, and then she warned her again and again not to tell anyone else.

So Xie Shu didn't dare tell Xie Pingan.

Woohoo, there is finally a little secret between her and her second sister!

"Anyway, let's find our second brother first!" Xie Shu quickly changed the subject, fearing that Xie Ping'an would notice something unusual.

Xie Pingan nodded.

The two went back and changed into night clothes, then opened a secret door in a side room of the palace with ease.

Walking in the dark and narrow secret passage, the candlelight in their hands flickered, casting the black shadows of two people on the earth-colored wall like ferocious monsters running.

Xie Pingan suddenly spoke.

"Do you think Minister Shen is better, or is Brother Crown Prince better?"

Hearing this, Xie Shu paused. She knew very well that what Xie Pingan was asking at this moment was definitely not simply about who had a better personality between the two.

As a deep fan of romance novels, she must be asking which person is more suitable for the second brother.

But Xie Shu had something to hide. She was afraid that Xie Ping'an would notice something was wrong, so she pretended to be speechless, "What are you thinking about? It must be Minister Shen! The Crown Prince is my second brother's biological brother!"

Xie Pingan muttered in a low voice, "Who knows."

Xie Shu, who has sharp ears:?

Xie Shu glanced at Xie Ping'an suspiciously, but found that Xie Ping'an had looked away and was walking forward with a serious face, as if the words just now were just an illusion.

Xie Shu always felt that something was not right.

I can’t think of it for the moment.

Forget it, the more important thing is to find my second brother.

Xie Shu quickly put the matter behind her.

Seeing that Xie Shu did not ask any further questions, Xie Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and the fists clenched in his sleeves loosened.

In fact...she knew that her second brother was not of royal blood.

When she was young, she wanted to go play with her second brother. The nanny beside her mother accidentally spoke out in an attempt to stop her. Later, the nanny disappeared. Her mother also sternly warned her to forget about it and not tell others, otherwise she would be killed.

She was young and forgetful at the time, so she didn't take it to heart. Later, as she grew older, she gradually came to her senses.

It turns out that my father not only stole my wife, but also stole someone else's son. How shameless!

Since it concerns the dignity of the royal family, Xie Ping'an naturally could not tell anyone else, not even Xie Shu, for fear of bringing disaster to Xie Shu.

and so……

Wuuuu, my dear sister, it’s not that I have a little secret with you, but I have to hide it for the sake of your life!
