Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 35
"He came for the military defense map!"

Hearing Bai Jinchen's words, Shadow raised his head and looked at him.

Although he didn't say anything, King Liang agreed with his guess.

That mysterious man, most likely the spy of the enemy country, came here to find the military defense map hidden in the Eight Princes' Mansion.

"My lord, should we secretly investigate that person's background, maybe we can get him to help us deal with the eighth princess."

Hearing this, Bai Jinchen stroked his sleeve angrily, and shouted loudly: "Bastard, although I don't like my father marrying Princess Anding to that cripple, I won't do something like collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country!"

"Subordinates should die."

"You really deserve to die!" Eyes narrowed slightly, Bai Jinchen suppressed the anger in his eyes: "Okay, let's put aside the matter of assassinating the eighth princess for now, you step back."

……

The morning light is dim.

Lei Yu came outside Bai Jinchu's room, feeling a little out of sorts.

In order to deal with the corpses of those assassins last night, he hardly slept, and his eyes were still slightly swollen.

He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

As soon as the knock on the door fell, Bai Jinchu's voice came from the door: "Come in."

Lei Yu opened the door and walked in. Before reaching the bed, he saw the water-blue brocade gown being placed beside the pillow by Bai Jinchu.

"My lord, the assassin last night has seen this dress, you can't wear it anymore."

"The king knows." Bai Jinchu turned around and picked up a robe, and handed it to Lei Yu who was standing in front of him: "Put it in the box."

Taking the clothes from Bai Jinchu's hand, Lei Yu frowned slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly put it in the box beside him.

backyard……

Yuan Hua drank the calming tea prepared by Bai Jinchu's people, slept until dawn, and missed the time to greet the queen.

She didn't care, and called Xi'er to help her pull her hair.

"Princess, slave... slave..."

Xi'er stood behind her, her brows and eyes drooping slightly, as if she had encountered something unhappy.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Yuan Hua turned to face her: "What's wrong?"

"Princess, there is one thing that I don't know whether I should say or not." Putting down the comb in her hand, Xi'er hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly: "Princess, I should go and see with my servant."

Follow behind Xi'er, passing the stone corridor.

The two walked not far in tandem, Xi'er suddenly stopped and looked at a maid crouching in the corner in front of her.

In front of the maidservant, thick smoke was billowing, as if something was burning.

"Princess, when the servant girl was passing by just now, she saw that maidservant burning something..."

Lowering her eyes, Xi'er didn't continue talking.

Yuan Hua looked at her, and then at the maid squatting in the front corner: "She is burning things that are not needed in the palace, it's not surprising. When we were in Wuyang Kingdom before, there were also people who were responsible for it." Burn these unnecessary things?"

"The princess is right, it's really not surprising. But the strange thing is..." Frowning slightly, Xi'er bit her lips lightly: "The servant girl found that the clothes that the princess gave to the prince were mixed with those waiting to be burned. inside the thing."

Xi'er's voice gradually became smaller.

Hearing her words, Yuan Hua stepped forward slowly, and sure enough, among the pile of things waiting to be burned, she found a very familiar aqua blue brocade robe.
