The Prince Misses His Princess - C69 Secrets Found

A week ago, a spy who had travelled thousands of miles from the State of Qiang had brought his most valuable information.

This group of people that went to the State of Qiang obtained the permission of the Emperor. As long as they found something important, no matter when they returned to the capital or entered the palace, they would immediately come to see him.

In these past few years, there had been people returning one after another, but the information they brought was scattered and was unable to piece together a complete set of things.

The emperor didn’t feel sleepy at all. He put on a robe and looked at the person kneeling on the ground with eyes full of God. “Did you find him?”

“In reply to Your Majesty, this subordinate thinks so.” We’ve found it. ” He lowered his head, but his voice couldn’t hide his excitement.

In order to find the secret of the State of Qiang, he had spent all his manpower to send them to the State of Qiang. However, the King of Qiang was too stubborn and refused to reveal the location of the secret no matter what.

Thus, he had forced Jiang Wanyan to marry into the Xia Kingdom as a bargaining chip.

Although on the surface, the Xia Kingdom’s Emperor had promised to no longer investigate the secret, in reality, the matter was still carried out in private.

More and more important clues were being sent back, and the Xia Kingdom Emperor felt that she had already touched upon the core of it.

And the person who came back today said that they should have found it, which made the Xia Kingdom Emperor so excited that even her hands were trembling.

“What did you find?” he asked, filling the empty hall with echoes.

The man lifted his face slightly. The weak candlelight in his eyes made him look like a ghost in the dark night.

“The key has already been split into two. Even if the king of Qiang dies, he would not tell us where the other key is. That’s why …” I only brought half of it back. ”

The Xia Kingdom Emperor was silent for a long time. He had long known this would happen.

“For this half key, he already knows that Zhen has gone back on his word.” The Emperor’s voice sounded deep and grim, and it revealed a trace of exhaustion. “What did he do?”

“I once tried to send a letter to the Imperial Consort Jing, but I was stopped halfway. I probably sensed it later on and didn’t write anymore.” He slowly explained the situation.

The emperor once again fell into silence. After a long time, he asked, “Where is the letter?”

“It has been destroyed.”

“I remember that he had a younger son.” The Emperor’s voice was filled with panic as he said those words.

The person kneeling below didn’t know why the emperor would suddenly mention this, but he could only reply truthfully, “Yes, it’s a child that isn’t even thirteen yet. Your majesty, you.”

The emperor was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind by struggling with himself in his heart.

He waited for a long time, long enough for him to think that the Emperor had fallen asleep, then the Emperor’s voice rang out again. “It should be easier to find the key from a thirteen-year-old child, right?”

That person was stunned for a moment. He could tell something was amiss from the Emperor’s words. “Yes.”

“Since he already knows that I’ve gone back on my word, then there’s no need to keep it any longer.” The Emperor issued his final command.

He killed the king of the State of Qiang.

“Your majesty, over at the Imperial Consort Jing.”

“It’s fine.” The emperor did not take Jiang Wanyan and Su Muqing seriously. In his opinion, this foreign princess and his disappointing son would be done for sooner or later.

After giving out the instructions, the emperor told that person to push it down. He sat alone in this hall and was somewhat enlightened.

The secret of Qiang was actually a treasure trove. He had been searching for this treasure trove for a long time.

Legend has it that this treasure was left behind by an ancestor who divided it up into the Xia Kingdom and the State of Qiang. This treasure was sealed away because it was too big, and was protected by the State of Qiang for generations.

In order to prevent the State of Qiang from having any ill intentions, the ancestor planted a Gu in the royal bloodline of the State of Qiang. The Gu was passed down from generation to generation, and once the treasure was used in violation of the ancestor’s teachings, the ancestor would immediately die.

The royal family of the State of Qiang had protected that treasure in this manner for generations.

But isn’t the treasure given to the descendants? If he had this treasure, the Xia Kingdom would be stronger than ever before. At that time, he would no longer need the Qiangan Country to protect the treasure, and he would be able to sweep through everything in the world and rule over the entire world.

This obsession made it impossible for the emperor to give up on the search for the treasure. He had taken many detours in the past few years, so his knowledge of the treasure trove was obtained by unceasingly exploring these detours.

Now, he finally had a breakthrough.

He stared blankly at the half map in his hands. He had worked so hard for so long, yet he still only had half a key. Without the other half of the map, it was impossible to tell where the treasure was.

Once this order was passed down, the people below would have a thorough plan of annihilating the King of Qiang. After a week, the Emperor would receive news that their plans were complete, and they would be able to take over the King Qiang within three days.

Before killing the King Qiang, he gave the King Qiang a chance. As long as he told him the whereabouts of the other half of the key, he would be able to let go of his children.

King Qiang did not care, once the treasures were activated, the Gu worms would be triggered, it did not matter if he dies, but what should he do if the young son of the Gu worm was also inside his body?

King Qiang acted tough, cursing the Xia Kingdom Emperor as a villain who went back on her words. She only regretted not being able to tell her daughter that she was thousands of miles away.

King Qiang died in the middle of the night. He was assassinated, assassinated by who and why it was unknown.

The first person to discover King Qiang’s corpse was King Qiang’s personal eunuch. Logically speaking, it should have been time for the morning assembly, but King Qiang still had not made a move.

He knocked on the door many times, but there was no response. Only then did the eunuch feel that something was amiss, and after he forcefully opened the door, he discovered that King Qiang was lying on the table, his life taken with a sword in his throat. His corpse had already become slightly stiff.

The death of the King Qiang was too strange, the Queen was a clever person, claiming that the King Qiang suddenly died from a disease and used lightning methods to help her young son sit on the throne.

When this matter was relayed to the Xia Kingdom Palace, the King of Qiang was already a thirteen year old child. Unfortunately, the other half of the key was still missing.
