Chapter 447 The witch lied
Yue Haoyun frowned and thought for a moment and said, "How do you think about this? Let's go to the memorial library to check Han Lie's file first."
"The memorial library is where the files are stored. All the officials of Dai Viet, their family background, official career, awards received, mistakes made, etc. are all recorded and stored in the memorial library."
The second prince clapped his hands and said, "That's good! However, how is the security of the memorial library? Is it easy to sneak in?"
Yue Haoyun frowned, "Security, after all, it is a place to store files, the security must not be too lax."
"But fortunately, the Memorial Library is not in the palace. There were too many files, and there was no suitable palace to store them. So, when my father came to power, he specially built a palace outside the palace and named it the Memorial Library to store the files."
The second prince was surprised to hear this and said, "Since it's not in the palace, it should not be difficult to sneak in. How about we go there in person?"
Xia Miaoyuan was lying on the door and heard everything clearly. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, [What? Why is my second brother so bragging! ]
[Sneaking into the Memorial Library is such an adventurous thing, does a prince or a prince have to take the risk in
person? ] [What if they are discovered? 】
Because the room was not big, the second prince heard his sister's voice and felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Yue Haoyun scolded: "I know you are fearless and a real warrior, but courage is not for places like this. Let's find someone to sneak into the memorial library. It is too risky and too frivolous to go in person." When
the second prince heard Yue Haoyun say this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I was just joking!"
Yue Haoyun rolled his eyes at him.
What time is it, and you still have the mind to joke!
"Then do you have any suitable people?" The second prince asked seriously.
Yue Haoyun thought for a moment and said, "My mother's eunuch chief eunuch Su was loyal to us. I can find him to think of a solution."
"I'll go and handle this matter first, and you just wait for my news."
After the two of them discussed, they left separately.
The second prince and his entourage, still dressed as ordinary people, got on a carriage, and quietly sneaked into the Jinyu Tower.
A quarter of an hour later, the second prince, wearing gorgeous robes, holding Xia Miaoyuan, and with a group of followers, walked out of the Jinyu Tower in a swagger.
Behind a tree not far away, a pair of eyes stared at them closely, and seeing that they were full of wine and food, they smiled with relief.
...
In the bedroom of the Queen Mother Zhu Ling in the Daiyue Palace.
Zhu Ling was leaning on the beauty couch, a palace maid squatted beside the couch and carefully massaged her legs.
A young woman in black stood respectfully in front of her.
"What's wrong? They moved to Chang's house these days, are they still obedient?" Zhu Ling asked with half-closed eyes.
The woman in black replied, "According to the report from the chief steward of the Chang residence, they haven't done anything out of line these days. The second prince was just too loving and was helping Madam Kong in the residence to find her granddaughter."
Zhu Ling raised her eyebrows, "Looking for a granddaughter?"
The woman in black explained, "Oh, it's Madam Kong's granddaughter who got lost accidentally, and the second prince, grateful for her care for Princess Anguo, sent his followers to the streets to help look for the child. I heard they found her."
Zhu Ling smiled contemptuously, "Humph, considering his age, he is not that kind of person. "It's so gentle, but I didn't expect it to be so fascinating!"
Then she asked, "Did they go out of the palace to see anyone or go to any strange places?"
The woman in black shook her head and said, "No, they just go out of the house to have fun occasionally. Tonight they even went to the Jinyu Tower for dinner."
Zhu Ling waved her hand and said, "Okay, you have nothing to do here. You can go down first. Keep a close eye on them, and report to me if there is anything unusual. I will reward you greatly."
The woman in black bowed and retreated silently.
At this time, the eunuch at the door reported: "Your Majesty, the witch is here and has been waiting outside for a long time. She said she has something urgent to see you about."
Zhu Ling's eyes turned and said, "It's strange that she would come to the palace to ask for an audience so late at night! Let her in!"
Zhu Ling asked the maid who was massaging her legs to leave and sat up straight.
Before long, a woman in a purple gauze dress strode in.
Her steps were so urgent that her skirt was flying.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!" The purple-dressed woman bowed.
Zhu Ling frowned and said, "What's the matter? You are so anxious that you have to go to the palace so late."
The witch lowered her eyes and said timidly, "My queen, I know it's not right to come so late, but this matter really makes me at a loss."
Zhu Ling pouted impatiently, "Tell me what's the matter!" "
I don't know who sneaked into the cave in Qingshan. The 19 newly captured girls and 27 slaves were all rescued..." The witch's voice trembled, her body trembled slightly, her head lowered, and she didn't dare to raise it.
"What!?" Zhu Ling jumped up from the beauty bed like a firecracker.
"You mean, Qingshan Cave was all wiped out?!"
Seeing Zhu Ling's fury, the witch knelt on the ground in fear, "Even the guards were all killed..." Her voice trembled even more.
Zhu Ling got even angrier when he heard this, and he grabbed a teacup and smashed it hard on the ground.
In an instant, the teacup broke into pieces, and the tea splashed out.
"Do you know who did it?" Zhu Ling asked fiercely.
The witch kowtowed to the ground, "Your subordinate deserves death, and we haven't found out yet..."
"What's the use of you!?" Zhu Ling roared.
At this time, Zhu Ling's personal maid stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, calm down and be careful not to hurt your hand."
"Since it has happened, Your Majesty should think about it in the long run. It is useless to get angry!"
Zhu Ling's anger seemed to subside after hearing this. She calmed down and asked, "I remember that when the late emperor passed away, you were in urgent need of slaves, so I gave you the eight eunuchs who were around the late emperor."
"Let me ask you, are these eight eunuchs still alive now? Are these eunuchs among the slaves rescued this time?!"
The witch glanced at Zhu Ling and saw that she frowned when she asked this question, as if she was very worried about these people.
In a flash, the witch's mind flashed with the words Han Lie had said to her, the meaningful "What do you know?"
In an instant, the witch made a major decision in her heart. She was going to gamble for her life. There was a eunuch who was still alive and was rescued. She must not tell anyone about it.
Thinking of this, the witch immediately raised her head and said firmly: "After those eight people became slaves, they could not stand the torture of the worms and died one after another."
