Chapter 261 Stealing the Imperial Seal
Chapter 261 Stealing the Imperial Seal
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent, Fanghua finally rushed back to the Zhanwang Mansion. It was already late at night, and she was anxiously looking for Mu Sixiu everywhere, eager to report to him what happened during the day. However, although she searched the entire mansion, she still could not find any trace of Mu Sixiu.
In desperation, Fanghua decided to draw a detailed map by herself so that she could find the place quickly when needed in the future. She recalled the route and the surrounding environment while carefully describing every detail. After finishing, she thought to herself: "Now that the woman is pregnant and has not noticed my presence, I guess they will not escape easily for the time being."
The Royal Palace...
King Qin Tian did not sleep all night, sitting alone in the dark study. On the table, quietly placed a letter from Hua Yuer.
The words in the letter revealed the purpose behind Nv Mazi's action - to seize the treasure of the Hua family. Hua Yuer knew that this treasure was of great significance, and if it fell into the hands of evil forces, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, she proposed to hand over the treasure of the Hua family to the king for safekeeping in case of any accidents.
Qin Tian stared at the letter in his hand. He didn't care whether it was precious or not. Although it was said that whoever got the treasure would get the world, the world was not so easy to get. Besides, the Hua family had been hiding the treasure for most of their lives.
Hua Yu'er now begged the king to send people to capture the pockmarked woman. Didn't he have the same idea? However, on that day, he witnessed with his own eyes that the pockmarked woman had been killed by his own daughter-in-law, but for some reason she came back to life. This really puzzled him.
Just as Qin Tian was thinking hard, he suddenly noticed some unusual movements outside the house. He flashed and quietly hid behind the screen, thinking to himself: Who on earth is so bold as to sneak into the imperial study in the middle of the night?
At this moment, the door of the imperial study was slowly pushed open, and a dark shadow flashed in. The dark shadow walked straight to the desk, moving lightly and skillfully, as if he was quite familiar with this place.
Then, the shadow carefully lit the small torch in his hand, and with the weak light, he could barely see the surrounding environment. Qin Tian looked carefully and found that the shadow's target was the imperial seal placed on the desk!
The shadow quickly reached out and took the imperial seal away, murmuring softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for doing this out of helplessness. After I successfully rescue the prince, I will definitely return the imperial seal intact."
After saying this, he carefully put the imperial seal, which symbolized supreme power, into his arms. Just as he turned around to leave, his eyes inadvertently swept across the desk and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a letter written by Hua Yuer to the king.
Originally, he had no intention of paying much attention to this, but when his eyes fell on the three words "pockmarked woman" mentioned on the letter, a strong curiosity surged in his heart.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he gently picked up the letter and examined it curiously. However, after only a quick glance, his expression suddenly changed, and his fists clenched tightly subconsciously.
Mu Sixiu finally understood - the woman in front of him was actually trying to take over the whole world! He was indignant, but helpless. After all, his master was in her hands, and the one who was restrained was precisely himself!
With resentment and resentment in his heart, Mu Sixiu walked out of the imperial study with heavy steps, holding the imperial seal. Only after his figure gradually went farther and farther away and disappeared did the king slowly emerge from behind the screen and said in a deep voice:
"Someone come..."
"Your Majesty." At this moment, a guard dressed in black and covered with gauze walked in from outside the door. His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady and powerful.
He knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
The king nodded slightly in response, then looked ahead with a cold gaze and said in a deep voice: "Did you see that man just now? Follow him immediately and find out what that boy wants to do with the imperial seal."
The guard received the order and stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Before he finished his words, the guard flashed out like a ghost and disappeared in the hall in an instant, as if he had never appeared.
At this moment, the king stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep and difficult to understand, as if he was thinking about something important...
Eagle Valley...
When Ni Nainai's face returned to normal, she knew it was daybreak. Otherwise, she would have sent Lianyu to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion today. There were teachers there who could teach Lianyu to read and write. Besides, she was worried about leaving the child alone there. After a few days, when Feng Ling came back, the Imperial Preceptor could also come back.
Hua Yuer put on a veil and a hat and walked out of the secret room. Lianyu had already gotten up and was cooking noodles in the kitchen. At such a young age, she only knew how to cook noodles, and it was her adoptive father who taught her.
Ni Naina sat outside waiting patiently and did not help her. She just looked at the little Lianyu, who was so sensible and obedient, and who longed for motherly and fatherly love and tried her best to express herself. A child of her age should not live such a life.
At this time, the witch doctor came over wearing strange clothes and a mysterious mask. After he came in front of Ni Naina, he bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty, I wonder about my son's situation..."
Before the witch doctor could finish his words, Ni Nai Nai interrupted him and answered concisely: "He is recovering from his injuries."
Hearing this answer, the witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Ni Naina again to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Queen, for taking care of me."
Ni Nainai waved her hand to signal the witch doctor not to be polite, and then said to him: "I will take the child away first, you can go and do your own thing."
"Yes, sir." The witch doctor bowed his head and responded, then turned and left.
