After the eighth princess Chu Caiwei was freed from her restraints, she settled down with her two maids in the brand new princess residence awarded by Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen not only gave her an elite guard to protect her, but also sent a team of mysterious secret guards to secretly guard her. In addition, the Empress also selected several of the most capable maids in the palace to take care of the Eighth Princess's daily life.
However, after experiencing various changes, Chu Caiwei has already realized the helplessness and sorrow of being born into a royal family. The so-called family affection is nothing but a mirage and illusory.
Born into an imperial family, profit reigns supreme. She knows she's nothing more than a pawn on Emperor Wen's chessboard, ready to be manipulated and manipulated. Soon, she'll once again become a tool used by her father and brother to win over the court. Faced with this harsh reality, the once innocent girl has become cold and resolute...
What chilled Chu Caiwei the most was that after a thorough investigation at the Dali Temple, they concluded that what happened that day in the Xianwang Mansion was actually done by Zhang Ji, who had instructed the servants there! How could this be possible? She simply couldn't believe it.
Since the government officials were helpless and unable to uncover the truth, she had no choice but to seek help from the martial arts world. After all, the martial arts world is full of hidden talents and there are many extraordinary people among them. And it is well known that the Dark Moon Pavilion has a Black Hawk team dedicated to gathering intelligence. If she can pay enough gold as a reward, she will have a very good chance of obtaining the truth she longs to know!
That morning, the sun was bright and the breeze was gentle. Chu Caiwei wore a plain dress and an exquisite veiled hat, which cleverly concealed her features. She was accompanied by two personal maids, Meixiang and Huixiang. After disguising themselves, the three quietly left the princess's residence.
They headed straight for West Street, seemingly with a clear destination in mind. Entering West Street, the streets were bustling with activity, bustling with people and overflowing with shops. Meixiang's keen eyes searched for her target, eventually locating a teahouse. She stepped inside, whispered to the owner for a moment, and then paid a considerable sum of money, successfully obtaining the address of the Ghost Market Eagle House.
After obtaining this crucial information, Chu Caiwei and her companions continued their journey, following the clues they had found to the Eagle House. As they entered the Eagle House, they were greeted by a man named Mu San. Although Chu Caiwei's face was obscured by a veil, Mu San could tell from her unique gait and elegant demeanor that she came from an official family.
Mu San secretly speculated on Chu Caiwei's intentions, a polite yet cautious smile on his face. He bowed respectfully to Chu Caiwei and asked what she could do for him. Chu Caiwei raised her head slightly, peering at Mu San through the thin veil of her veil. Her voice was clear and melodious, saying, "I've heard that the eagle training here is superb, so I came here to see it." Mu San's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure and enthusiastically led them inside for a tour.
When Mei Xiang pulled out a large, heavy ingot of gold from her bosom, Mu San took one look and said directly, "We at Dark Moon Pavilion have always only done business within the Jianghu. We won't accept anything involving the government!"
Chu Caiwei was extremely anxious upon hearing this and quickly explained, "Your Dark Moon Pavilion Master has been very kind to me! I came here today simply to understand the truth of some matters. I have no other intentions and will not cause you any trouble or involve you in official affairs. I hope you will grant me this favor!"
Mu San narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the people standing before him. His brow furrowed, as if he were secretly considering the pros and cons. After a long pause, he finally spoke slowly, "Well, in that case, please follow me in." With that, he turned and walked into the house.
Mu San led them to a dark room filled with dim light and a mysterious atmosphere. Ying Twelve then entered the room with steady steps and carefully brought a pot of steaming hot tea and several exquisite teacups.
Mu San stared at the woman in the veil and said sincerely, "Miss, you may rest here for a while. I will immediately ask the Pavilion Master to come and let her decide the matter personally." After saying that, he gave the woman an apologetic smile.
The woman nodded gently, expressing her understanding and agreement. She gracefully bowed slightly and replied softly, "Thank you very much, sir. Please convey this to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible. I await your good news." Her voice was as sweet as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, which made people feel good about it.
Mu San nodded and walked away, leaving the woman sitting quietly in the dark room. The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation...
Mu San hurried out of the dark room, his expression grave. He gently called out to the little snake beside him, placed a ball of paper in its mouth, and whispered, "Go and tell the Pavilion Master this news." The little snake seemed to understand, nodded, and quickly swam away.
Meanwhile, Luo Lingyue was lost in thought in her room. Ever since attending the Crown Prince and Li Jingshu's wedding, she had felt an inexplicable unease. Although her third brother, Luo Lingzhang, had allowed her free access to the General's Mansion, he had still arranged for a team of guards to follow her around at all times.
This made Luo Lingyue, who originally loved her freedom, extremely distressed. Even going out for a walk would attract strange looks from others. She couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! This is so annoying! How can I have fun if this goes on?"
At this moment, Luo Lingyue's heart was filled with a deep desire to break free from these constraints and regain the free life she once had. However, facing her brother's care and protection, she couldn't directly refuse. How could she not hurt her family's feelings and still gain her own freedom? Luo Lingyue fell into deep thought...
At that moment, a small, delicate snake slithered in through the open window like a ghost. Its nimble body twisted and swayed, as if performing a mysterious dance. Suddenly, the snake opened its mouth, spat out a ball of crumpled paper, and then quickly disappeared along the way it had come, disappearing without a trace.
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. She gently reached out, picked up the crumpled paper, and carefully unfolded it. Her eyes widened when she saw the words clearly written on the paper: "The Eighth Princess is waiting for the Pavilion Master at Eagle House!" These simple words revealed a sense of urgency and importance.
Luo Lingyue stood up without hesitation, walked quickly to the door, and flung it open. She looked at Liuli outside with a determined gaze and commanded in a loud voice, "I need to rest for a moment! Do not disturb me unless it's important! Also, tell the guards to keep quiet!" With that, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Liuli nodded quickly and replied, "Miss, please rest assured! I will guard the door and tell the guards not to make any noise!" She straightened up with a serious expression, indicating that she would definitely fulfill her mission.
Luo Lingyue disguised herself as Dark Moon Enchantress, dodged the guards, and leaped over the wall...
