Chapter 469 Finding the Entrance to the Secret Room
Everyone in the Chen family was so angry that their faces were twisted.
Prince Zhong acted like he wanted to kill them, but when it came to Dingtian's wife and daughter, he changed his attitude.
He also said that he was not afraid of Dingtian, which clearly showed that Prince Zhong looked down on people like them.
However, it is a good thing that Prince Zhong has some scruples. At least he won’t make the matter too ugly.
Shen Zhao saw that everyone in the Chen family was relieved and really wanted to tell them.
"You all think too much. This king looks down on everyone in your Chen family equally, not just you but also Chen Dingtian."
Shen Zhao led a group of people and marched towards Old Madam Chen's courtyard.
Liu Ailian's already tense heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Where are you going, Your Highness? Is this my old lady's courtyard?"
Shen Zhao said without even turning his head:
"Exactly. The search will of course begin with the oldest and most distinguished person in your house. Do you think what I said is correct?"
Liu Ailian quickly apologized with a smile:
"That being said, the old lady is old after all, and she has feelings for the things in the courtyard. If the prince conducts a large-scale search and accidentally breaks one or two, I am afraid that the old lady will not be able to bear the blow and her blood will boil."
"If something bad happens, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to explain to His Majesty."
Shen Zhao paused.
"Mrs. Chen is such a jokester! She made me think she was also an accomplice of the rebels."
"Just now, the guards have searched your old lady's courtyard and moved a lot of things there. Why don't I see any reaction from Old Lady Chen?"
"And Madam Chen's memory is truly terrible. I was just a hair's breadth away from chopping off your old lady's head. Are you still afraid of angering her to death?"
"I dare to kill people, are you afraid of angering her to death?"
Pang Qingyun looked at Liu Ailian thoughtfully from the side. He always felt that Liu Ailian seemed to be hiding something.
In the past, he felt that Liu Ailian had bad intentions, but his wife treated her like a sister and felt very sorry for her.
If he said anything bad about Liu Ailian, the lady would be angry with him for a long time.
Liu Ailian's expression changed several times, and finally she smiled and said:
"Then please search carefully, Your Majesty."
Mr. Chu is really conceited. Does he really think he can find out anything?
Chen Dingtian's men had already evacuated.
Besides, it was not only Chen Dingtian’s men who attacked the Jingzhong Camp, there were other forces as well.
Chen Zhao's eyes darkened. It seemed that Chen Dingtian was really responsible for everything that happened in the Jingzhong Camp today.
I don’t know who these other forces belong to.
When Shen Zhao and his group arrived at Old Madam Chen's courtyard, the guards immediately searched Old Madam Chen's courtyard inside and out.
Still couldn't find any place to hide.
They even moved the Buddha statues in the temple but still couldn't find a place to hide the person. If the statues weren't too small to hide the person, they would have pried them open to see if they could.
"Your Highness, I have searched every corner of the house and found no trace of the rebels. Do you want to look elsewhere?"
"Have you really forgotten every corner?" Chen Zhao asked the guard in front of him.
The guards thought about it and loosened the soil in the yard, but they really didn't find any secret compartments or secret rooms.
Nodded.
"It has not been forgotten. My subordinates and others have checked every possible place."
There was a hint of sneer in Liu Ailian's eyes.
If you want to find the secret room, don’t even think about it, because the entrance is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Even when she first found out, she was shocked for a while.
Shen Zhao's gaze shifted to Gongfang.
"Has this place been searched thoroughly?"
Liu Ailian still had a sarcastic look on her face. She had just seen two guards go in to search, but they still didn't find anything.
"I've checked, Your Majesty."
Shen Zhao stood up and walked towards the toilet. At this time, Chen Baoyi suppressed the urge to shout.
Screaming madly in my heart.
[Prince, please go in quickly. The entrance to the underground secret room is right under the toilet. Simply move the toilet and you can move the floor tile underneath to enter the underground secret room.]
If the other party was not her parents, she would not have been so disloyal and unfilial as to expose her parents on the spot. She would have led Prince Zhong into the underground secret room long ago.
When Pang Qingyun saw Chen Zhao walking towards the palace, he hurried to follow.
The prince would not ask about the toilet for no reason, let alone go in. Although the toilets of the masters of wealthy families were clean and tidy without any dirt, they were still places where people defecated and urinated.
Normal people still have some taboos.
It is very likely that the lady was hidden in the palace by the Chen family.
This realization made Pang Qingyun very unhappy. How could these beasts treat his wife so badly?
A crack finally appeared on Liu Ailian's calm face.
She hurried after him.
I kept comforting myself in my heart that Prince Zhong and others would not find the entrance to the underground secret room.
After all, no one touched the toilet.
Shen Zhao inspected the palace back and forth.
Pang Qingyun also started looking around.
The room was bright and bare except for the incense burner and a screen to cover one's privacy.
No, there is also a toilet.
But the toilet was right there in plain sight, with nothing inside, so it was impossible for the lady to be hidden inside.
Endless despair struck Pang Qingyun's heart.
Madam, where are you?
At this time, Liu Ailian walked up to Shen Zhao and said:
"Your Highness, you have personally checked even the Gongfang, but did you find anything wrong?"
"It's filthy here. Please move to the outer room. I will accompany you to check in other courtyards."
"Although some people in my Chen family have done wrong, we will never be so cruel as to collude with traitors."
The Chen family is a rebel, so why do they need to collude with others?
Under Liu Ailian's surprised eyes, Shen Zhao pointed at the toilet and ordered:
"Move the toilet away."
Everyone was stunned.
Your Majesty, are you okay?
Chen Zhao walked to the toilet and pointed to a spot on it and said:
"There's blood on this."
Everyone came forward to check it out.
The color of the toilet is red, so the drop of blood is really hard to detect.
A guard came forward and touched it. The blood had not dried yet and was still sticky.
"Your Highness, this blood was dropped not long ago."
Liu Ailian's eyes turned quickly, and she was about to say that the old lady had her period. After all, these grown men didn't know anything, and men were very sensitive about women's menstruation.
He was stopped by Shen Zhao and said:
"Old Madam Chen is very old. According to doctors' records, she has long ceased menstruation. This cannot be menstrual fluid. I suspect there is something fishy going on in this toilet."
Shen Zhao thought of Chen Baoyi's abnormal arm and just made eye contact with Chen Baoyi.
Then I heard Chen Baoyi's voice.
[It's no wonder I left my mark on the toilet. When I heard the servant announce that the prince and Mr. Pang were coming to the mansion, I had a plan in mind.]
[Thankfully, Prince Zhong observed carefully, and Aunt Pang was saved.]
The guards hurriedly moved the toilet away, and without Shen Zhao's instructions, they had already started knocking on the floor tiles under the toilet.
"Your Highness, there's nothing underneath this tile!"
