Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 1035: Zhang Ronghua Digging a Pit

Azure Dragon Lane was one of the five most expensive lanes in the capital.

Number one, four in and four out.

Ordinary officials ‘mansions, including Zhang Ronghua’s, had three entrances and three exits. If they exceeded this standard, they would be considered to have overstepped the limits. Unless they bought the adjacent courtyards and then connected them again to avoid the rules. As long as the higher-ups did not pursue the matter, it was usually fine. Once they were serious, they would be charged with “overstepping the limits” unless they were rewarded by the Imperial Court or the Emperor gave special permission.

The courtyard in front of him had a decent layout and luxurious decoration. The floor was made of purple-patterned bricks, and each piece was worth more than a hundred taels. Flowers, plants, and trees were rare and expensive. There was an artificial lake, rockery, and so on. It formed a whole, and it did not seem to have been opened up later.

Moreover…

This was Azure Dragon Lane, and it was in such an eye-catching location. The area was bustling and there were many people coming in and out. If they dared to do this, the censor who was full of food would turn into a hungry wolf and fiercely pounce on it until he bit the owner to death!

If it was the latter, it could be seen that the owner was a powerful being.

In the study room.

A young man was wearing a luxurious black brocade robe. The collar was inlaid with gold, and two golden patterns extended from the top to the waist. A four-clawed flood dragon was embroidered on the chest, and it had long fangs.

He stood by the window with his hands behind his back and a cold expression on his face. There was no life in his eyes. They were like blades that flickered with a sharp cold light. He looked at the night sky outside and clenched his fists. Thunderous sounds rang out as if endless anger was hidden in them and could explode at any time.

A black-robed man, with only two eyes exposed from head to toe, restrained his aura and didn’t release any of it. However, the place where he stood was terrifyingly cold. It wasn’t the coldness of the snowy mountains, but the coldness accumulated from killing people to a certain extent. His name was Gu Chen. Although he was respectful, he wasn’t as humble as his subordinates. He didn’t lower his head and didn’t dare to breathe loudly. From this place, it could be seen that he had a very high status.

“Cangyan should be dead!” A slightly hoarse voice sounded. If he was still alive, with our relationship, it would be impossible for him not to recover.”

The black-clothed youth turned a deaf ear, as if he didn’t hear anything.

“I’m ready. Are you really going to make a move? There was no turning back. Even if the plan was successful and he could hide it for a while, he could not hide the strength of the Primordial Demon God forever. Other than them, I heard from a friend that His Majesty has more than just the Absolute Beginning Demon God’s forces. No one knows how many trump cards he has.”

” Cai Lin is dead.” The black-clothed young man said calmly. His words contained a shocking fury.

Gu Chen was silent.

He knew how important Shi Cai Lin was in his heart, including his faction. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have worked for her, and if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have the Black Demon Bead. Thinking about Wu Yang Jian’s death, he felt a little regretful. He might only be a rank four doctor, but his official position wasn’t high. However, he was very valuable. He could refine a killing weapon like the Black Demon Bead, and he also had the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. A Heavenly Thunder Talisman could kill a Grandmaster. They had hidden it very well, and no one knew about it. He didn’t expect that he would still die.

If it wasn’t for the damned Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse hiding in his mansion, none of these things would have happened!

These four simple words explained everything.

With a wave of his right hand, a dim light shot down, passing down the order to act according to the plan!

The young man in black spoke again,” The Shangjing Prefecture Magistrate and the General of the Flying Cavalry are both of the Third Rank. Their power is comparable to that of the Six Ministers. Xia Shimin never dreamed that the small Flood Dragon Guards would grow to such heights and become his greatest support.”

“Yeah!” Gu Chen sighed. “Who would have thought that an insignificant chess piece would have such great ability? He climbed to his current high position as a member of the Imperial Army and formed his own faction. He has so much power in the imperial court, and he has Pei Caicai’s full support behind him. In addition, he has the Academy of Destiny…”

At this point, he felt sour and could not help but curse.

“F * ck! If I had such a good life back then and was favored by the pearl of a big shot, I would have taken fewer detours and would only be stronger now.”

He was referring to Yang Hongling.

The black-robed young man shook his head.” Time and fate complement each other. He is the only person in the entire Grand Xia who has done so!”

“Have you arranged your retreat route?” Gu Chen asked again.

“The world is so big, where can we go?”

Gu Chen was silent. It would be fine if there was only one person, but there was still one more person.

” There has to be an end between Xia Shimin and me,” the black-clothed young man said.” Whether the plan succeeds or fails, you have to make sure that the escape route you’ve prepared is safe.”

“Don’t worry! There won’t be any accidents.”

The black-robed youth waved his hand, and Gu Chen turned into a streak of black smoke and left.

There were no outsiders present.

The black-robed youth took out a jade pendant hanging around his neck. It was sky blue in color and half-moon shaped. It emitted a gentle glow and brought warmth. It was called the Bright Moon Pendant, and it was a gift from Shi Cailin.

He gently caressed them, and his face was filled with tenderness. He muttered to himself,” I’ve already lost. I don’t have any strength left. I’ve been trying to convince them all this time, but some people are shameless. They have to use some methods to convince them. Although they are a little ruthless, it’s a good thing that I managed to take them down.” I don’t know if I can succeed. Maybe I can, maybe I can’t. You once said that if anything happens to you, let me live well. Even if I have to live in vain, it’s better than dying! This kind of life is not what I want. I’m not willing to accept it, and I can’t let it go.”

He paused for a moment before continuing.

“My instincts tell me that this is a path of no return. No matter what the outcome is, there’s no escape. The Absolute Beginning Demonic God has already found some clues about Xia Shizhong being poisoned by the Samsara Heart-Devouring Worm. They’ll be able to find this place if they’re given some time. In this life, I’ve only let down two people. One is you. I didn’t protect you well. I followed behind you and suffered a lot. The second one is her. I can die, but she must live. Gu Chen’s plan is for her! If we don’t do this, our future will only be worse. We’ll be better off dead than alive. We can even torture a dog!”
