Lord Liang smiled at Xia Miaoyuan, but when Xia Miaoyuan met his eyes, he felt a chill down his spine.

She was so familiar with that look.

After Lord Liang had walked away, Xia Miaoyuan tugged at the hem of the robe of the young eunuch beside him and asked, "Young eunuch, this gentleman just now looked very impressive. What official position does he hold? How can he come and go here as he pleases?"

The young eunuch looked down at Xia Miaoyuan and saw her big, blinking eyes. She was so cute that his heart melted.

"I didn't expect that you, a little princess of Da Xia, are quite knowledgeable. Even at such a young age, you can see that Lord Liang is an extraordinary person." The little eunuch's tone was very friendly.

Xia Miaoyuan chuckled a few times and showed an expectant expression.

The young eunuch squatted down and whispered, "This Lord Liang is the Imperial Tutor, the teacher of our Dai Viet Emperor."

"On weekdays, I am responsible for teaching the emperor."

Xia Miaoyuan nodded as if suddenly understanding something: "Oh. The Imperial Master! No wonder he can come and go from Qingming Palace as he pleases."

The young eunuch raised the corner of his lip in a proud tone and continued, "Little Princess, let me tell you something! This Lord Liang is truly remarkable! He was recommended here by the Prime Minister not long ago."

"As a result, after our emperor tried his class, he immediately praised him highly and immediately appointed him as the emperor's tutor, conferring him a fourth-rank official title."

"Now, this Lord Liang is a rising star in the court and a favorite of the Emperor. His future is limitless."

Xia Miaoyuan had a smile on her face, but her heart was already pounding with emotion.

【Ahhh! It’s him!】

[The gossip we heard in Mai County a while ago said that after the death of his only son, Han Lie recommended someone to the emperor. Mr. Liang, I think it must be him.]

[If my guess is correct, the person just now was Liang Chaozong.]

[But why has his appearance changed? Is it a disguise?]

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the corridor, extremely anxious, and wanted to tell the second prince and Han Qingbo about his important discovery immediately.

She waited and waited, and waited for more than half an hour before the Second Prince and his companions came out.

"Second brother, Lord Han!" Xia Miaoyuan could no longer suppress his eagerness and ran towards the two of them.

The Second Prince and the others thought she was just a child waiting impatiently, so they smiled and made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

On the way back to the Grand Prince's Mansion, Xia Miaoyuan was afraid of being heard by his followers, so he held back and didn't dare to say anything. He just felt like a fire was burning in his heart and was extremely anxious.

Finally, the carriage arrived at the prince's mansion.

As soon as Xia Miaoyuan got off the carriage, he hurriedly grabbed the hems of the Second Prince and Han Qingbo's robes and walked towards the palace.

The second prince only then realized that his sister had something to tell them.

In the second prince's room, the second prince, Han Qingbo, and Yue Haoyun were all seated.

Xia Miaoyuan excitedly told everyone what he saw and heard in the palace.

After hearing this, the three of them were stunned.

The Second Prince asked, "Miao'er, are you saying that although that person's physique is very similar to Liang Chaozong's, his appearance is very different?"

Xia Miaoyuan nodded: "Exactly."

Yue Haoyun frowned and said, "Could it be that he used a human skin mask? Just like Miss Chunyu."

This time, Chunyu Yilan followed the Daxia delegation to Dai Viet. In order to conceal her true identity and prevent herself from being recognized by acquaintances in Dai Viet, Sang Qi made a human skin mask for her.

Wearing this human skin mask during the day, Chunyu Yilan's appearance completely changed.

The Second Prince looked at Xia Miaoyuan and said, "Miao'er, does his face look like a human skin mask?"

Human skin masks are not uncommon in the martial arts world, but the craftsmanship and effectiveness vary greatly.

Poor quality masks would make the face look strange and the skin color odd. From a little closer, it would be easily visible, so it was only effective from a distance.

A well-made human skin mask can be so realistic that it is impossible to tell the difference even in daily life.

Xia Miaoyuan bit his finger and thought for a long time, muttering, "I can't figure it out!"

"He just passed by me, that's all. I didn't have time to take a closer look at his face."

Han Qingbo interjected, "Second Prince, please don't embarrass Her Royal Highness for now. Let's find a way to verify whether it's a human skin mask."

Yue Haoyun also echoed, "Master Han is right. Let's find a way to verify it."

The Second Prince slapped his thigh and said dejectedly, "Ah, it's all my fault for being too impatient."

"I was thinking that if we could prove that the Lord Liang beside the Emperor was Liang Chaozong, then we could expose Liang Chaozong to the young Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

"At that time, the prime minister of a country would actually collude with the crown prince of a fallen country, help him conceal his identity, and place him next to the emperor. Then, even if Han Lie jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to clear himself."

"Zhu Ling and the young emperor will definitely think that Han Lie is a treacherous and evil-minded official, and they will never trust him again."

"Even if Liang Chaozong had cooperated with Dai Viet before, he disguised himself and infiltrated the Dai Viet court this time. The young emperor and his mother would definitely not trust him anymore."

"They will definitely think that he wants to disrupt the Dai Viet government, or even seize Dai Viet."

"By then, we won't have to do anything about Liang Chaozong and Han Lie. They will surely be captured and executed by the young emperor."

As the second prince spoke, he looked up at the sky, as if he was looking forward to something.

[Wow! Big Brother has become smarter!]

[The logic is very rigorous and the ideas are very clear! ]

The second prince felt so happy when he heard his sister's praise that he felt like flying.

The Second Prince: Sister, praise me quickly, don’t stop.

Yue Haoyun comforted him, "Don't worry, Second Prince. Let's take our time. First, find an opportunity to verify whether that Imperial Master Liang used a human skin mask."

Everyone nodded slightly.

At this moment, Han Qingbo seemed to remember something and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas about investigating the incident of the deposed Crown Prince?"

The Daxia delegation came this time with another very important mission, which was to investigate the truth behind the murder of his brothers by Daxia Crown Prince Xia Zhengjie at a palace banquet.

Although it has been speculated that it was the Dai Viet witch who used witchcraft to control Xia Zhengjie to kill people, this is just speculation after all.

Emperor Mingxi had been brooding over this matter for many years. He was eager to find out who had ordered and plotted the murder of his eldest brother and sixth brother.

Yue Haoyun's eyes flashed and he said, "There's no rush to investigate this matter."

The Second Prince rubbed his chin and said, "Since we can confirm that the woman who was with the deposed crown prince back then was the Dai Viet priestess, can we start with the priestess?"

Yue Haoyun shook his head and said firmly: "No!"
