Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Two days later, Long Shitian came back from the barracks.

As soon as he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, he heard about Qin Wu's execution.

He immediately sent someone to call Long Qianche into the study, and looked at him with a livid face, "Qianche, during the two days when I'm not here, did you have someone kill Qin Wu?"

Long Qianche stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Father, Qin Wu intended to assassinate the saint. He committed a capital crime and should be beheaded!"

"You!" Long Shitian said angrily, "Qin Wu is my right-hand man, and you killed him without my consent. Do you take my father seriously?"

Long Qianche raised his eyes and said sternly: "Father, Qin Wu murdered the saint without your consent in an attempt to sabotage your plan. Of course this kind of person should be killed, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

Hearing this, Long Shitian's anger subsided a little.

He said coldly: "That's fine, why did Qin Wu murder the saint?"

Long Qianche's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Because when Qin Wu led people to assassinate the saint, many brothers were killed by Chu Xuanchen, so Qin Wu always wanted to avenge his brothers. This time he saw that you and I were not at home, Then he became murderous towards the saint, and then he went to assassinate the saint."

Long Shitian narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Really?"

Long Qianche quickly lowered his head, "This is what Qin Wu said when he was captured, so it should be true."

Long Shitian took a meaningful look at Long Qianche, then flicked his sleeves coldly, "Okay, I trust you for now, since Qin Wu has subdued the law, I will not pursue this matter any further. But there is one thing, I think It's kind of weird."

"What's the matter?" Long Qianche asked.

Long Shitian said: "Do you feel a little strange about opening the underground palace this time?"

"What's so strange?" Long Qianche looked serious.

Long Shitian took two steps in thought, and said: "According to historical records, after opening the underground palace, we can get the treasure, but this time not only there is no treasure, but also put everyone in danger. Now everyone suspects that the ancestors are deceiving the people , Qian Che, what do you think?"

Long Qianche thought for a while, and said: "What happened a hundred years ago is too long, no one can tell whether it is true or not. Maybe the common people's guess is right, there is no treasure in this underground palace at all. Could the covenant be used by the ancestors to appease everyone and maintain the stability of the country?"

Long Shitian said: "Even if the purpose of the ancestors is to maintain stability, they can't deliberately set traps to harm their own people. In my opinion, these traps, poisonous insects and quicksand should be used to resist thieves!"

"Resist thieves? If there is no treasure in the underground palace, why do they need to work so hard to set so many traps?" Long Qianche wondered.

"This is exactly what I suspect. I suspect that there is actually a treasure in this underground palace, but something went wrong when opening it, so we will encounter a trap." Long Shitian narrowed his eyes and said.

"Father, what do you mean, there is a problem with the procedure of opening the treasure?" Long Qianche said in disbelief.

Long Shitian nodded coldly, "It is very possible that many places where treasures are hidden have real doors and fake doors, and there are all kinds of doubts and traps. These traps are real and fake, some are false, and some are real, just to confuse the thieves. The treasure was opened by the queen guiding the saintess, and only the queen knows how to open it. The queen is very shrewd, and I suspect that she has hidden something from us, or has done something in it."

"Queen? Father, did the queen deceive everyone? What is her intention?" Long Qianche said coldly.

Long Shitian said in a deep voice: "She is weak now, of course she is afraid that after opening the treasures, she will not be able to keep them."

Long Qianche was noncommittal.

The queen probably feared that these treasures would be taken over by her father, so she tampered with them.

At this time, Long Shitian had a righteous face, "It seems that the queen has really tampered with it in order to monopolize the treasure. I didn't expect that she would ignore the people for her own selfishness. I am going to enter the palace now." Ask her about it!"

Long Shitian acted very righteous, but Long Qianche slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were slightly meaningful.

-

Soon, Long Shitian came to the palace in a sedan chair.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, he got off the sedan chair and walked towards Lingyue Palace angrily.

"See the national teacher." The servants in Lingyue Palace saw the national teacher coming in a rage, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and saluted him.

Long Shitian ignored them at all, he walked straight into the hall with a gloomy face.

At this time, Xue Feiye, who was reviewing the memorial before the imperial case, looked up and saw Long Shitian walking towards her aggressively.

She immediately put down the brush, and stood up coldly, "The national teacher came in a hurry, what's the matter?"

Long Shitian walked in front of Xue Feiye, and raised the corners of his mouth coldly, "Isn't the Queen well aware of why I came here?"

Xue Feiye flicked his sleeves domineeringly: "I don't have the same heart with the national teacher, how can I know your intention of coming? If the national teacher has something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Okay! The queen is really quick to talk!" Long Shitian said, rolling his eyes, and said, "I ask you, why did we encounter so many traps when we opened the underground palace this time? Where is the treasure? Where is the treasure?"

Xue Feiye's heart skipped a beat, it really was this matter.

But she was not afraid, she raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "How do I know? My responsibility is to open the underground palace. Since the underground palace has been opened, other things have nothing to do with me."

Long Shitian's face was ashen, and he flicked his sleeves coldly, "Queen, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. According to historical records, after opening the underground palace, there must be treasures, but you opened a bunch of traps to come out. It was tampered with when it was turned on, so that’s why it happened.”

Xue Feiye sneered, "What evidence do you have? I tell you that the method passed down by the ancestors is like this, and I just followed the instructions of the ancestors. As for why it is full of traps, you should ask the ancestors of the Xue family!"

"You!" Long Shitian immediately became angry when he heard this. He pointed at Xue Feiye and said sinisterly, "If you don't tell me the truth, believe it or not, I killed the saint!"

Xue Feiye's eyes froze, but he still said firmly: "I don't know, it's useless if you kill the saint!"

Seeing that Xue Feiye didn't like this, Long Shitian narrowed his eyes coldly, "Queen, the ancestors would never set up these traps for no reason. Especially in places like this where treasures are hidden, the ancestors would definitely set up suspicious formations in order to ward off thieves." , designing real doors and fake doors and other blindfolds. So I dare to conclude that there are treasures in this underground palace, but you have tampered with it and opened the fake door that your ancestors used to confuse thieves. You actually know how to open the real door ,right?"

Xue Feiye sneered, "At that time, I and the Holy Maiden were both in the underground palace. If I really did something wrong, then I would not be able to escape. And as you have seen, the Holy Maiden was in critical condition and almost died on the spot. If there is a real door, then I have already opened the real door and rescued the saint, so how could I put her in danger?"
