Chapter 320 Secret Agent



With the carriage, Yue Nanchen felt much more comfortable. Even if they had to travel overnight, it didn't matter. The two of them soon arrived at the capital of Han Country, Frost City, on the fourth day. However, as soon as they entered the city, they were attracted by the bright red silk and the Chinese character "囍" on the city gate. Who was getting married? Could it be Leng Yichen who was behind such a grand ceremony?

Shuiyao and Yue Nanchen entered an inn, which happened to be the inn they had visited before. The waiter of that inn recognized Shuiyao and immediately came up to greet her warmly, "Miss, you are here, are you here to attend the prince's wedding?"

Shui Yao was stunned, remembering that the last time she came to inquire about the Han Kingdom’s Palace, she had said that she was going to look for someone. The waiter might have thought that she was a royal relative!

He nodded calmly, not denying it, and chose a secluded corner to sit down, and asked in a low voice, "Is your prince going to get married? Who is the princess? Is she the daughter of Prime Minister Wen?"

In the concubine selection hall that day, Wen Xixue clearly had her eyes on Leng Yichen. If Leng Yichen married her, it would consolidate his position.

"Oh, you don't know yet, the current prince is not the same prince as before..."

The waiter screamed in surprise, and immediately realized that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "The current crown prince is King Hui, and the eldest crown prince has been deposed and imprisoned in another garden!"

Shui Yao was stunned. Leng Yichen was imprisoned? King Hui became the crown prince? What happened? Shui Yao and Yue Nanchen looked at each other. Yue Nanchen's eyes were also gloomy, and he felt the seriousness of the matter.

Seeing that the two were interested, the waiter immediately took the opportunity to get close to them and said, "The prince killed Prime Minister Wen's daughter half a month ago and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. He is now imprisoned in the other garden and has been deposed. Now the prince has become King Hui. Now Hui

The one the king married was General Jiang’s eldest daughter!”

Shui Yao was even more shocked when she heard this. Leng Yichen killed Wen Xixue? Impossible. Even if Leng Yichen didn't like Wen Xixue, he would never do such a reckless thing. There was only one possibility. Leng Yichen was framed!

Since Leng Yichen could be framed, she and Yue Nanchen had to be extra careful and must not reveal their whereabouts. So she whispered to the waiter, "Okay, waiter, go get us two rooms and serve some side dishes!"

The waiter hurried to greet him and immediately got busy.

Yue Nanchen sat at the window, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs, turned his head and whispered to Shui Yao, "This matter is definitely not that simple. It seems that the Han Kingdom is about to change!"

Shui Yao curled up lazily in the corner, the warm winter sunlight shone through the curtains onto her beautiful little face. She looked as if she was tired from walking and was about to fall asleep, and did not answer Yue Nanchen's words.

Suddenly, a fast horse passed by downstairs, shouting loudly to get out of the way and rushing forward. Behind it, several people who looked like servants were chasing on horses. In a moment, people on the street fled in all directions, and vegetables and fruits were thrown all over the ground.

"Is it her?" After seeing the appearance of the woman with the sword clearly, Shui Yao suddenly widened her beautiful eyes. Her body was as light and agile as a civet cat. She walked straight out of the private room, reached the railing, and jumped.

Before everyone could react, he landed directly on the woman's horse's back, then waved his hand with a flash of silver light, and the horses under the four or five servants immediately screamed and fell to the ground, while Shui Yao and the woman went straight away!

Yue Nanchen hurriedly chased to the railing, knowing that Shui Yao must have discovered something.

But unfortunately, his body had not recovered yet, so he could only wait for her there.

Next to the woods on the outskirts of the city, the woman with the sword dismounted. When she saw Qingshui Yao's appearance, her eyes darkened and she drew out the sword. "It's you? Why are you helping me?"

"Jiang Lianhan, right?" The woman with the sword was none other than General Jiang's daughter, the straightforward woman Jiang Lianhan who had been the first to take the lead at the imperial concubine selection ceremony that day.

Shui Yao called her name, "I'm just curious. Isn't your eldest sister's wedding in three days? How could you have a conflict with someone on the street?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Lianhan frowned and suddenly asked in surprise, "Are you here to save the prince?"

Shui Yao smiled slightly, "Crown Prince? Which crown prince? Isn't the crown prince going to be your brother-in-law soon?"

"Bah, is that King Hui worthy of being the crown prince? The only one worthy of being the crown prince of my Han country is Crown Prince Leng. He is being wronged!"

Jiang Lian said coldly, frowning tightly, "I asked my father to save him, but my father scolded me, and I ran away from home in anger! After King Hui's wedding, he will be imprisoned in the Garden for life!"

"How do you know Leng Yichen was wronged?" Shui Yao asked calmly. Although she knew that Jiang Lianhan was a straightforward person and didn't seem like a liar, she had a reckless personality, so she had to be careful.

"Wen Xixue wanted to be the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince didn't fancy her at all, so how could he want to molest her and then kill her? Even I didn't believe it, but the Emperor believed it, and so did Prime Minister Wen.

I think it was Concubine Mei and Prince Hui who did this! And Jiang Lianshuang, she is so arrogant and proud that she hated the prince since she came back from the concubine selection ceremony because the prince

She made a fool of herself, but this time she became the Crown Princess for no apparent reason. Don’t you think it’s weird?”

Jiang Lianhan was a very straightforward person. Perhaps she had been feeling really depressed these past few days. She had actually forgotten Shui Yao's identity and told her everything.

"Jiang Lianshuang is..." Shui Yao whispered. Slowly, the face of the cold woman in the concubine selection hall gradually appeared in her mind. Could it be her?

That woman was calm and wise. Later, she did lose face because of a small mistake. If she holds a grudge against him and looks for an opportunity to help King Hui and frame Leng Yichen, it is indeed possible!

"It's my eldest sister, the one sitting in front of me that day!" Jiang Lianhan's words confirmed Shui Yao's guess, it turned out to be her!

"Do you want to help Leng Yichen?" Shui Yao raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Lianhan.

Jiang Lianhan nodded, "But my own power is limited. Aren't you the saint of Louxi Kingdom? You can definitely help him!" Jiang Lianhan looked at Shui Yao eagerly.

Shui Yao chuckled, "I can help him, but I need your help. First, I need to meet him and know what happened before I can make a judgment!"

Jiang Lianhan nodded, "Okay, I'll help you, let's save him together!"

Shui Yao looked at the woman's sincere face and thought to herself, I didn't expect that this woman is so infatuated with Leng Yichen!

When she returned to the inn, Yue Nanchen was waiting for her in the room. Under the candlelight, the man's eyes were cold and he seemed to be thinking about something.

"What's the situation?" Yue Nanchen asked hurriedly when he saw her come in.

Shui Yao immediately told Yue Nanchen the identity of the woman and the reason, and Yue Nanchen nodded, "It is true! It's just very strange.

Since even that woman could see that there was something fishy going on, how could the usually wise Emperor Han believe it?"

Shui Yao nodded, "This is something I haven't figured out yet. You'll know when you meet Leng Yichen tomorrow!"

Yue Nanchen raised his eyes and said, "I'll go with you. I have someone in that villa!"

Shui Yao was stunned. He actually knew where Leng Yichen was imprisoned so quickly. Could it be that he had spies in Han Country too?

“Don’t look at me like that. When my father was alive, he fought wars in all directions in order to unify the country. However, unifying the country is not just about defeating the enemy on the battlefield. Sometimes, information is very important, so I trained Qianhun and established Wantong Hall.

Wantong Hall is spread all over the five countries. There is no place that Wantong Hall cannot find. So after you left, I had nothing to do, so I contacted the head of the hall here. He will arrange everything, and we can go to see Leng Yichen tomorrow!" Yue Nanchen explained lightly.

Shui Yao secretly admired him. Although Yue Nanchen said it lightly, if he wanted to establish a huge information network in the five countries, he would have to place people everywhere. How much financial and mental resources would it take!

On the second day, Shui Yao and Yue Nanchen put on some simple makeup and disguised themselves as an old woman and an old man delivering food. They were arranged by the people from Wantong Hall and entered the villa through the back door.

As soon as they entered the villa, the two smelled a hint of solemnity. They saw a guard every five steps, a sentry every three steps, and secret guards surrounding the villa. It seemed that King Hui had really put a lot of effort into preventing Leng Yichen from escaping.

The two men pushed a cart into the kitchen, changed the old man's clothes in a deserted place, put on a guard's uniform, quietly left the kitchen, and finally sneaked into the inner courtyard according to the terrain described by Jiang Lianhan.
