In the evening, the setting sun was blood-red, and Hua Qingcheng returned to the palace with several of her servants.
After leaving Xiaoyaoju on the left bank, Hua Qingcheng immediately went to the imperial study and ordered General Feng Cailan to be summoned to the palace.
At the same time, Bu Youran, under the guidance of the eunuch chief, went to visit Zuo An and the child openly.
Half an hour later, Feng Cailan hurried over. She was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic, with determination and courage in her eyes.
After entering the imperial study, Feng Cailan quickly walked up to Hua Qingcheng and knelt on one knee to salute her.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you suddenly summoned me into the palace?" Feng Cailan looked at Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting in front of the imperial desk with a serious face, with a puzzled look on her face.
Hua Qingcheng frowned slightly, looking at Feng Cailan with a gloomy expression. She slowly put down the imperial brush in her hand, stepped forward and helped Feng Cailan up from the ground. She said, "General Feng, I wonder how much you know about Lingxiao Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Cailan replied sternly, "Your Majesty, this High Heaven Palace is one of the most powerful intelligence organizations in the martial arts world. They hold many secrets within the martial arts world and excel at investigating all manner of unknown matters. Their influence is widespread, their information is well-informed, and they are awe-inspiring."
Hua Qingcheng nodded, and after a moment's contemplation, she continued, "Then, General Feng, if I ordered you to annihilate the High Heaven Palace, do you think you could do it?"
Feng Cailan's expression changed slightly when she heard this. Although she had never come into direct contact with anyone from the High Heaven Palace, she knew its strength and influence. It would be no easy task to destroy such a massive organization.
However, as a loyal subject, she replied without hesitation, "Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as you give the order, I will go all out and complete the mission at all costs! However, this High Heaven Palace is mysterious and unpredictable. No one knows where their lair is. Eradicating it will probably not be easy. Your Majesty, please be mentally prepared."
Hua Qingcheng nodded slightly, then said, "What if I can find a way to find their hiding place?"
Feng Cailan bowed slightly towards Hua Qingcheng and said, "Then I will go through fire and water for the Emperor and destroy the Lingxiao Palace."
Hua Qingcheng tapped her fingers lightly on the imperial desk. After a moment's silence, she said coldly, "Chen Tangli, the Young Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, has fallen into my hands. If she dares to harm Zuo'an and my child, I will demand the destruction of the entire Lingxiao Palace. Furthermore, this way, we can also seize this opportunity to control this largest intelligence organization."
Feng Cailan nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
After all, if the underworld forces are too powerful, they will eventually become a hidden danger to the imperial court. If they can be used for their own purposes, that would of course be the best.
However, it is not easy to completely control a large intelligence organization. It requires careful planning and cautious actions. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the confidentiality and security of the operation to avoid causing greater trouble.
"However, Your Majesty, we need to consider the long-term situation. Where is Chen Tangli now?" Feng Cailan asked.
"She is in the Heavenly Prison and is heavily guarded." Hua Qingcheng replied.
"We can first get some information about Lingxiao Palace from her, and then make a specific plan." Feng Cailan suggested.
Hua Qingcheng nodded in agreement, "Very good. General Feng will interrogate Chen Tangli tomorrow and make sure she hands over the information about Lingxiao Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After receiving the order, Feng Cailan left the imperial study.
After Feng Cailan left, Hua Qingcheng leaned back on the phoenix chair, secretly thinking about her next move.
On the second day, Feng Cailan came to the Sky Prison and saw the imprisoned Chen Tangli.
Chen Tangli looked at her coldly, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Feel free to use whatever tricks you have. This young master will not tell you anything about Lingxiao Palace."
Feng Cailan sneered, "Chen Tangli, when you intended to harm Zuo Guijun, did you ever think about the consequences you might face? Do you think you can keep it a secret by not speaking? This general advises you not to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."
After saying that, she signaled her men to torture Shen Tangli.
However, under torture, Chen Tangli still gritted her teeth and refused to reveal a single word.
Seeing this, Feng Cailan decided to try a different approach. She approached Chen Tangli and whispered, "Chen Tangli, if you cooperate, this general can spare your life. Otherwise, not only will you die, but Lingxiao Palace will also be buried with you."
Chen Tangli looked up at Feng Cailan and began to waver in her heart.
She was silent for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "This young master can tell you some information about Lingxiao Palace, but you must ensure my safety."
Feng Cailan readily agreed: "No problem, as long as you tell the truth, this general will naturally keep his promise."
After all, what's the point of saving one's life? If it comes at the cost of the freedom and dignity of the rest of one's life, living like this might be worse than death...
However, these are not the problems that Feng Cailan needs to consider. This woman has brought this upon herself.
Chen Tangli then told Feng Cailan about the internal structure, personnel distribution, and some important strongholds of Lingxiao Palace.
After obtaining the information, Feng Cailan immediately reported to Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then we will proceed according to the plan."
After careful planning, Hua Qingcheng and Feng Cailan decided to send an elite team to sneak into the Lingxiao Palace headquarters.
A few days later, Feng Cailan led the Feng Family Army, following the intelligence provided by Chen Tangli, and cleverly avoided one line of defense after another, gradually approaching the core area. They were cautious and moved quickly, and everything went very smoothly.
