Chapter 192 The Prince's Domineering Protective Act
In order to verify this astonishing guess, Chu Xuanyi quickly walked up to Ajiu.
"Ajiu, take a closer look. Besides the Imperial Palace, are there any other places in the capital with those 'dirty footprints'?"
Ajiu was frightened by his sudden enthusiasm and shrank behind Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu calmly pulled Ajiu closer to him, blocking Chu Xuanyi's overly scorching gaze.
"Don't be afraid, just do as he says." Xiao Yu patted her head soothingly.
With the encouragement from his brother Xiongxiong, Jiu finally mustered up the courage to nod.
She closed her eyes again.
This time, what she saw was no longer limited to the direction of the palace.
A three-dimensional map of the entire capital seemed to slowly unfold in her mind.
Countless bright rays of light representing the spiritual energy of the earth crisscross like the blood vessels of the city.
Yet, within these veins of light, a few spots appeared a sickening, congested black.
The largest and darkest of them is naturally the abandoned mine outside the western suburbs.
Secondly, it is deep in the palace.
Then……
Ajiu's brows twitched suddenly.
"have!"
She opened her eyes and her tone was very sure.
"In the south of the city, there's a big rice shop! There... there's also a dark mark! It's exactly the same as the one in the evil prince's mansion!"
"Also, there's an inconspicuous cargo ship at the dock west of the city, and it also has that stinky smell!"
"East Market...a pawnshop in East Market...there's one hidden in the backyard!"
She named three or four locations in one breath.
Chu Xuanyi and Xiao Yu looked at each other and saw huge waves in each other's eyes!
These places...
They are all secret strongholds hidden in the capital by Prince Yu or the Wugut tribe!
The enemy's lair that they had been searching for but could never find was easily uncovered by a little girl of eleven or twelve years old!
"Genius... no... this is simply a monster..." Chu Xuanyi muttered to himself, looking at Ajiu as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.
"Your Highness! We're rich! We're really rich this time!"
He was so excited that he almost spoke incoherently, "With Ah Jiu, it's like having a net in the sky! Prince Yu and those bastards of the Wugut tribe will no longer have a place to hide in the capital! We can... we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
However, there was no trace of joy on Xiao Yu's face.
His expression became even gloomier than before.
He looked down at the little girl who was looking up with an expression that said, "How awesome am I? Praise me!" But a deeper worry welled up in his heart.
Such ability...
It is a gift from God, but at the same time, it is also the most deadly death warrant.
It will make Ajiu the most sought-after prey in the eyes of all the villains.
"no."
Xiao Yu coldly interrupted Chu Xuanyi's sweet dream.
"Your Majesty?"
"I say no," Xiao Yu said firmly. "From today on, you are not allowed to use this ability again. And you are not allowed to use her as bait for that bullshit Skynet!"
He looked at Chu Xuanyi and said word by word, "Xuanyi, you have to remember. Her ability is for her to protect herself, not for you to use as a weapon to capture cities and territories."
"But Your Majesty..."
"No buts." Xiao Yu stood up directly. The powerful aura emanating from his body made the temperature of the entire study seem to drop by several degrees.
He took Jiu's hand and walked out the door.
"Xuan Yi."
"I'm here!"
"Immediately send people to investigate the places Ah Jiu just mentioned." Xiao Yu's voice was as cold as ice. "Only secret surveillance is allowed. Don't alert the enemy."
"in addition……"
He paused and looked back at Chu Xuanyi.
"Prepare a set of official uniforms and waist badges for the Imperial Medical Bureau judge for the Imperial Preceptor."
"Tonight, at midnight."
"This prince and the Imperial Preceptor will personally go to Ci'an Palace to see the Empress Dowager... for a checkup."
The night was like spilled thick ink, quickly permeating the entire capital city.
The lights were on in the study of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Xiao Yu had changed into a plain, dark suit, and the jade crown that held his hair was replaced with a simple cloth band. He looked less elegant and graceful than usual, but more sharp and edgy.
Chu Xuanyi was clumsily sticking a fake beard on his face in front of a bronze mirror, complaining constantly.
"Your Highness, do we really have to go there in person? The uniform of the Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital is so uncomfortable! And that beard is tickling my chin! If it were you, why not just have Xuan Yi and a few others sneak in, knock the Queen Mother unconscious, and bring her out? Wouldn't that be the end of it?"
Xiao Yu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, he just kept wiping his sword.
"If you want the historian's memorial tomorrow morning to be filled with the charge that 'the Prince Regent and the Imperial Preceptor broke into Ci'an Palace at night with the intention of assassinating the Empress Dowager,' you can do so."
"Uh..." Chu Xuanyi instantly wilted.
Of course he knew that this couldn't be done this way.
The Queen Mother is the face of the country.
No matter what she became, as long as she was still sitting in that position, they could not use any rough means.
Otherwise, Prince Yu wouldn't even need to do anything himself. The gossip of the people of the world and the princes of the royal family who would be moved by the news would be enough to push them into an abyss of no return.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar.
"master!"
Lingzhu was the first to rush in, with blood still on her face.
One arm was hastily hung across his chest with a white cloth, and his expression was one of unprecedented anxiety and grief.
"What's going on?" Chu Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat and the fake beard in his hand fell to the ground.
Following closely behind, Yun Jing also walked in, supporting a pale-faced disciple from the Observatory.
The disciple's legs were wrapped in thick bandages, but blood continued to seep out, staining half of his pants a horrifying dark red.
"Master Imperial Master... Your Majesty..."
When the disciple saw the two men, he tried to struggle and salute, but was held down by Yun Jing.
"Don't move!" Yun Jing's voice was filled with tears. "Your leg bones are almost corroded and broken by that evil energy!"
The atmosphere in the study instantly dropped to freezing point.
Xiao Yu stopped wiping the blade.
He slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Lingzhu's injured arm, his eyes became extremely terrifying.
"explain."
Lingzhu gritted her teeth and her eyes were red.
"Master...we...we are a step too late."
"When we arrived at the rice shop in the south of the city, it was already deserted. But... but they had set up a 'Blood Evil Formation' underneath the rice warehouse! Three of us brothers were caught off guard and fell victim to it... Junior Brother Zhou... to protect us, he... he detonated his own magical weapon, perishing along with the formation..."
At the end, Lingzhu couldn't hold back any longer, and a hot tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
The disciples of the Observatory are like brothers.
Junior Brother Zhou is the youngest among them and is the most lively and cute on weekdays.
But now... there is not even a complete corpse left.
