Chapter 28: The Building Second Only to the Imperial Palace



Those four ladies will be too late to curry favor with the young lady by then."

"We can just talk about this in private. Don't let anyone hear it and make enemies for nothing."

"Miss, don't worry. These Jinse know their limits."

Murong Xiao nodded in satisfaction: "Don't worry, from now on, whatever is mine will be yours. If I'm fine, you'll be fine too."

In other words, if I am not good, you can't expect to have a good life.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. Qiao Se and I will definitely do our best to serve you."

"Um."

Murong Xiao nodded in agreement, and without saying anything more to Jinse, he walked straight towards the study.

The Grand Marshal's Mansion is completely different from the general's residence in people's minds. You will never feel that it is the residence of a mere military officer.

Winding corridors, pavilions, towering mountains and flowing water, exquisite palaces. Here, everything is available. Rather than calling it a mansion, it is better to exaggerate and say that it is a miniature imperial palace.

Because Murong Qingyu not only made many military achievements in his youth, but also helped the emperor seize the throne and saved the emperor from danger many times. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was not only named the Grand Marshal, but also recognized by the emperor as his brother of the opposite sex, with the honor of prince.

At that time, the emperor was planning to use the money from the national treasury to build him a luxurious Grand Marshal's Mansion, but Murong Qingyu declined.

He did not ask for a mansion or money. He just asked for this worthless land near the outskirts of the city and built this mansion with his own money.

The reason why the mansion is close to the outskirts of the city is that it is more than ten times larger than any other prince's mansion. According to Murong Xiao's visual estimation, this Marshal's Mansion is at least the size of 200 football fields and is the second largest building complex in the imperial city after the imperial palace.

It is estimated that the emperor never dreamed at that time that Murong Qingyu wanted this land on the outskirts of the city in order to build a super large secret room here.

This underground chamber could not only train their five hundred assassins, but could even train soldiers and raise a large-scale guard. This was because the underground chamber far exceeded the surface size of the Marshal's Mansion. Because it was built underground in the suburbs, no one knew about it.

Most importantly, this mansion also has a super passage leading to the Imperial Palace. In order to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion and to prevent someone from sneaking into the Marshal's Mansion through the passage, the secret lock of this passage can only be opened by the Marshal's Mansion. Even if the palace finds the secret passage, they cannot open the secret door leading to the Marshal's Mansion.

This means that as long as Murong Qingyu is willing, he can let the assassins he trained enter the palace at any time and take the emperor's life.

However, Murong Qingyu was extremely protective of this secret passage. Throughout his life, he never sent anyone through it to the palace. Even when he and Murong Qingyun needed to consult the Empress, this was forbidden. The first and last time this secret passage was used was on the day Murong Qingyun ascended the throne and massacred the palace.

Under Jinse's guidance, Murong Xiao walked through many twists and turns for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at the main area of ​​the Marshal's Mansion - the area where the Grand Marshal usually works and stays.

Arriving in this area at the same time as her were four other women who won the "Daughter's Selection". According to their future status in the mansion, they were Murong Yan, Murong Meng, Murong Xue and Murong Shan.

These four people came from four different directions, and when they saw her, they all showed a look of surprise.
