615 Not very simple
Secondary Consort Hua knew that Shi Qingluo would not believe her so easily, but she didn’t mind.
There was no need to explain too much when talking to smart people.
“Yes, I’ll go with you two days later. I am asking this for myself.”
She looked at Shi Qingluo firmly. “I can help you and even help the emperor get rid of Prince Jin, but I have one request.”
“Let go of your son?” Shi Qingluo asked.
Secondary Consort Hua nodded.
“That’s right. Let him go. Even if he has to be a commoner in the future, it’s fine.”
Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. “It’s pointless even if I give the green light for this. I’ll go and ask my husband. If we are meeting two days later, I’ll blink at you, which means it’s okay. Shaking my head means it’s not okay.”
Secondary Consort Hua was also very decisive. “Alright!”
She then took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo did not look at it and stuffed it into the pouch on her back.
At this moment, the maidservant pushed the door open and walked in.
Secondary Consort Hua also distanced herself from Shi Qingluo and chatted with her while drinking tea.
Just as they were chatting, the servant girl who had gone to get the dress came back.
Secondary Consort Hua went to the next room to change her dress and came over to sit for a while before bidding farewell and leaving early.
Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong sat for a while but did not return home.
Instead, they went shopping.
The people who had been following them didn’t notice anything strange.
When Xiao Hanzheng returned at night, Shi Qingluo told him about it.
“Do you think Secondary Consort Hua is being sincere, or is she deliberately giving us false information to trick us?” she asked after she finished speaking.
She only trusted Secondary Consort Hua’s words partially.
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment. “She’s quite credible. If Prince Jin is using her to spread false information, it’s a bit redundant.
“But we shouldn’t believe it wholeheartedly, so we still have to be on guard.”
“What did she tell you?” he asked.
Shi Qingluo took the paper from the table and handed it to him. “It’s intelligence on Prince Jin’s sons.
“Oh right, there’s also Zhuo Zheng’s.
“If what Secondary Consort Hua said to me is true, then it means that she is not simple.
“But it’s also obvious that a person like Prince Jin is really not suitable to sit in that position.
“If he wants to rebel and fight for it, he’s going against the heavens. There’s not much hope.”
She had interacted with the emperor and Prince Jin before.
Be it in terms of ability, goals, or schemes, the emperor was superior.
When Prince Jin was young, he was greatly spoiled by the late emperor.
Later, he was suddenly sent to the northern border and lost the opportunity to become the emperor.
It was his most beloved father who made this decision, so he suffered a great blow.
Therefore, he especially liked to do things as he pleased, and from time to time, he would do something fancy.
It would not be appropriate if an emperor was also like this.
Secondary Consort Hua might have noticed the problem with Prince Jin a long time ago, so she had been looking for a way out for her son.
Xiao Hanzheng took the paper and read it. “It’s more detailed than what I found. There are even some secrets. Secondary Consort Hua is indeed not simple.”
He sighed, “What a pity!
She knew the situation so well, but her hands were tight.
“Can we agree to her conditions?” Shi Qingluo asked after some thought.
Xiao Hanzheng shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll have to go and ask.”
He couldn’t decide whether to agree or not.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Go and ask around and let Secondary Consort Hua know the reply in two days.”
Xiao Hanzheng also nodded. “Okay!”
Two days later, Prince Jin brought a group of people out of Northern City with the excuse of taking Secondary Consort Hua out for a trip.
Those from the previous dynasty that Xiao Hanzheng was monitoring left the city on the first day.
This time, Zhuo Zheng did not follow them.
He was sent out of Northern City a few days ago.
The princess from the previous dynasty obviously wanted to give Zhuo Zheng a way out.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo followed behind on their horses.
At the same time, he also brought a team of secret guards to keep a distance and follow them secretly.
Because of the code word left by Zhuo Jun, Xiao Hanzheng and the others didn’t lose track of him, even though they were a distance away.
On the third day after he left the city, Prince Jin met up with those from the previous dynasty.
Then he made a detour and headed back in the direction of Northern City.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were not surprised, because the emperor had gotten hold of the complete treasure map, and Xiao Hanzheng had seen the map before.
He had been studying it ever since he came to Northern City.
In the end, the treasure was discovered on a mountain on the outskirts of Northern City.
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty both knew that the two of them were following them, but they didn’t care.
On the mountain, Liang Yujun had his people start digging at a lone grave.
He stood not far away with Secondary Consort Hua.
The place where the treasures of your previous dynasty were hidden is really special. “Did someone get buried in this lonely grave?”
He had seen the complete map before and only knew that the treasure was on this mountain.
He had even secretly sent people to investigate, but they had not found it.
Who would have thought that the treasure would be buried in such a simple and crude grave that looked like it was casually buried by the villagers staying nearby?
Fortunately, he agreed to cooperate.
Otherwise, he wondered how long it would take to find it.
The princess from the previous dynasty was a good-looking woman who looked to be in her thirties.
She spoke gently, “The former tomb keeper is buried here.”
As soon as she finished speaking, those who were digging the pit found human skeleton.
Liang Yujun was speechless.
“Continue digging!” he said.
After digging for about an hour, the person who had gone down came up to report, “Your Highness, we have dug up an iron gate.”
Liang Yujun looked at the princess from the previous dynasty. “Yingying, shall we go down together? ”
The princess from the previous dynasty nodded at him. “Sure!”
Thus, the two of them took the lead and walked through the path that had been dug out.
There were some people guarding the door.
Prince Jin thought for a while and then ordered, “When the people come, if you can, just capture them and bring them in.
“If they resist too much, kill the males without mercy, and try to capture the females alive.”
He was referring to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
The fact that he had obtained the treasure could not be revealed yet, so Xiao Hanzheng had to die.
They could arrest Shi Qingluo and lock her up, then fish out money-making methods from her.
“Yes, sir!” Those who were hiding replied.
After Liang Yujun and the princess from the previous dynasty left with their people, they reached the stone door after walking for a while.
There had actually been a path here before, but it had been buried over the years.
Liang Yujun looked at the princess from the previous dynasty with a gentle expression. “Yingying, it’s your turn to open the treasure trove.”
The princess from the previous dynasty also looked at him tenderly.
“Alright, I’ll listen to Yujun.”
After she finished speaking, she felt around the iron door and finally pressed a switch.
The center of the door suddenly moved, and a small concave square appeared with a hole in it.
The princess from the previous dynasty took out a key from her bosom and placed it into the hole.
She twisted it hard, and everyone heard a cracking sound.
She took a few steps back.
The rusty and moss-covered iron door trembled and slowly began to rise.
“Yingying, can this door be opened by force?” asked Prince Jin.
If she didn’t cooperate, his people would have to break the door open forcibly when they found the location.
