Dengxing Pavilion

Princess Xueyu came to Dengxing Pavilion and went straight to the top floor. Seeing Feng Sinan sitting on the balcony and fortune-telling, she said happily, "Brother Feng, I have something to talk to you about."

Feng Si Nan walked in from the balcony and asked Princess Xue Yu, "What's the matter?"

Princess Xueyu handed him the jade bottle given by Mu Nanjin and said, "Grandmother Zhonghuang would like you to help me see what medicine is in the bottle."

Feng Sinan looked at her steadily, as if her behavior was just an excuse to see him.

"It's true. It was really the Empress Dowager who asked me to come find you."

Princess Xueyu opened the bottle cap anxiously, and then a faint spiritual energy floated out of the bottle.

Feng Si Nan was slightly startled, took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, sniffed it, and said in surprise: "It's the Fu Yan Pill."

Princess Xueyu was puzzled: "It's called Fuyan Pill? Isn't it called Yuyan Pill?"

"It has several names, but it has only one effect, which is to restore youth."

Princess Xueyu asked happily, "Can it really restore people's youth?"

Feng Si Nan put the pill back into the bottle: "Yes, who gave this to you?"

"It was given to me by Mu Nanjin, the Jinyiwei who offended me yesterday. She said it was an apology."

"Mu Nanjin!" Feng Sinan was very surprised.

She actually has elixirs!? Where did she get them?

How could she be willing to give away such a precious thing?

Princess Xueyu nodded: "Brother Feng, are you sure this medicine is okay to take?"

"You can eat it, but you are still young now, so the effect will not be very obvious to you. Besides, the elixir is precious, so you can save it for later in your late spring."

"Thank you, Brother Feng, for reminding me. I will take it back to give to the Imperial Grandmother now."

Princess Xueyu was eager to know the effect of the elixir, so she did not stay in Dengxing Pavilion to harass Feng Sinan as she did in the past.

When she returned to Yongshou Palace, Captain Liu also brought Mu Nanjin to the secret room.

Mu Nanjin was very curious: "What on earth is going on that requires going to a secret room to discuss it? It's so mysterious."

Captain Liu complained in his heart, it’s because he was worried that others would hear your voice that he had to bring you here.

"Do you know the Fourth Prince?"

"Four princes?" Mu Nanjin shook his head. "I have only heard of the Holy Prince, the Reverend Prince, the Imperial Prince, the Imperial Prince, the Treasure Prince, the Blessed Prince, but I have never heard of the Four Princes. Does the Daqian Kingdom have Four Princes?"

Captain Liu's mouth twitched: "The four princes I'm talking about are the Holy Prince, the Reverend Prince, the Imperial Prince, and the Imperial Prince."

The four princes once helped the late emperor to establish his empire.

Afterwards, he was granted the title of prince and guarded other towns, and only returned to the capital after the death of the previous emperor.

But after the new emperor ascended the throne, they left again.

"Oh, why did you mention them? Did you find out they were going to rebel?"

Captain Liu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Shhhhhhh, you can't say anything without evidence. And can you speak a little more quietly? If someone hears you, you will be beheaded."

Mu Nanjin rolled his eyes secretly: "We are all in the secret room, and we are still afraid of being eavesdropped? Is there anyone here?"

[And I was not wrong, they did want to rebel. Once people have power, they want more power.]

Captain Liu: “……!!!”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu Nanjin asked again: "If they are not rebelling, then why are you mentioning them? Don't you want to investigate them?"

Captain Liu took a deep breath and said, "We need to investigate whether they are planning to rebel."

Mu Nanjin's eyes lit up: "You told me this, do you want me to investigate them?"

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, you are a girl, they don't have much defense against you, it is most appropriate for you to go, but the mission will be quite dangerous, I wonder if you are willing to carry out the mission?"

In fact, the Jinyiwei had already secretly investigated the four princes, but they found very little evidence.

Therefore, Lord Kan Zhenfu and his men had no choice but to use Mu Nanjin's thoughts to find out more information before they could find Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin nodded in agreement without thinking: "I am willing. I am not afraid of danger."

[That's great, I can finally go on a business trip. I'll find a place to hide and sleep in. When the investigation is over, I'll report the gossip I know. Hehe, not only is there no danger, but I can also earn several months of vacation for free and get a high reward. It's really killing two birds with one stone.]

[Yeah, I love traveling on business.]

“…”

Captain Liu really didn't want to ruin her beautiful fantasy, but he had to say, "The emperor's birthday will be in a month, and the four princes will come with their families to celebrate for the emperor. This is a great opportunity for the four of them to gather together openly, and it is also the best opportunity for you to investigate them."

“…”

Mu Nanjin suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

[I am not happy and I don’t want to do this anymore.]

【I have no motivation.】

[The four princes should quickly rebel and destroy the Jinyiwei as soon as possible so that I don’t have to go out early and come back late. ]

Captain Liu was very tired.

"As long as we successfully eradicate them, we will be able to 'get' a lot of rewards."

Mu Nanjin's eyes lit up again: "What reward?"

"You should know that when the Jinyiwei raided the homes of ministers, a lot of wealth would be seized, right?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

Even if you haven't seen it in person, you've seen it a lot on TV.

Seeing that this trick worked, Captain Liu tried again to tempt her: "Those Jinyiwei who came to confiscate the house would secretly take away some property as their own private property, but the premise is that it cannot be discovered by people other than Jinyiwei. Then it depends on your ability to take away how much money you can."

Mu Nanjin asked: "So what you mean by 'shun' is stealing, right?"

"Yes, if you just secretly take away a jade necklace, you can get tens of thousands of taels of money. Isn't it more than the reward you received yesterday?"

Mu Nanjin nodded thoughtfully.

[Let me see how much wealth the four princes have saved. ]

「Wow, that’s a lot──」

Captain Liu immediately pricked up his ears.

[The Holy Prince alone possesses one million taels of gold, five million taels of silver, and so many jewels that he himself does not know how many there are. His financial resources alone are equivalent to one-third of the national treasury. If you add up his wealth with other princes, the national treasury will not have as much as them. It is really a huge fortune. ]

Captain Liu: “…”

They found out that the four princes had a lot of wealth but they didn't expect it to be so much. No wonder they could afford to support so many soldiers.

[I was only allowed to take away a jade necklace out of all the gold and silver jewelry. Do you think I'm crazy or that I was kicked in the head by a donkey? No, I have to think of a way to take more. Let me think... I have to think carefully about how I can take them away without anyone noticing.]

"hehe."

Captain Liu suddenly sneered.

Just by betraying your heart, you want to take away more treasures silently?

Dream on.

Mu Nanjin came back to his senses and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Captain Liu cleared his throat and said, "We can make a fortune just by raiding the homes of the four princes. It's a happy thought, isn't it?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I will try my best to find evidence."

"This is a secret mission. No one can tell, including Captain Tang. Do you understand?"

[Why do you always mention Tang Jingrui in front of me? Do I look like someone who likes him so much? No, I have to find a chance to clarify myself.]

Captain Liu: “…”

Mu Nanjin asked: "Do you have anything else to do? If not, then go and have dinner."

"It's all right."

Captain Liu took her out of the secret room.

After Mu Nanjin left the Wenshu Academy, Kan Chaoyan, Tang Jingrui and others walked out.

Kan Chaoyan asked: "Did she agree?"

Captain Liu said unhappily: "Money makes the world go round."

"Did you bribe her with money?"

"Of course not. She agreed after hearing that she could take away a lot of valuables during the house search."

There was a moment of silence.

Captain Liu asked Tang Jingrui: "Is Mu Nanjin so short of money?"

"This..." Tang Jingrui was not sure either. "As far as I know, my uncle gives her 100 taels of silver every month for her expenses, but her uncle is often away from home, and she doesn't know how to be frugal. She spends all the money she gets on buying things to please my family, and the rest is taken away by my aunt."

"No wonder."

Kan Chaoyan said: "Since she agrees, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

At this moment, Du Zan rushed in and said, "Oh no! Mu Nanjin was captured by the imperial guards."
