"Is Miss Huang joking? But this joke is not funny at all."
Lin Bai was also confused by Huang Qingyun's words and did not understand its meaning.
There seemed to be a lingering gloom on Huang Qingyun's face, "Brother Lin, I will never joke with you again about this matter."
Lin Bai also felt the seriousness of the matter and asked, "What exactly happened?"
When Lin Bai asked this question, the expressions of the old women in the Holy Lotus Palace became gloomy, they puffed up their cheeks and swallowed their breaths.
Huang Qingyun's beautiful eyes sank, but she hesitated to speak.
Lin Bai then asked: "Miss Huang, if you are not willing to tell the truth, then why did you invite me over?"
Huang Qingyun hesitated again and again and said to Lin Bai: "It's not that I don't want to tell you frankly, it's just that...it's hard to say it!"
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Huang, please speak out!"
Huang Qingyun took a deep breath and first glanced at the elders behind him.
Seeing that these elders were hesitant to speak, they finally opened their mouths and did not stop Huang Qingyun.
Huang Qingyun took a deep breath and said to Lin Bai: "Brother Lin, does he know about the 'Twenty-one Princes' of the royal family?"
"I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it." Lin Bai nodded.
Emperor Chu had many children, but the most outstanding princes were His Royal Highness King Chen and the third prince.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "It is said that this prince is the youngest son of Emperor Chu. He is very smart and very popular with Emperor Chu."
"But this person doesn't seem to like authoritative power, and he doesn't like practicing. Instead, he likes to recite poems and write poems."
"I spend all my time in the government office with a group of literati and poets who love romance, making fun of the moon and not caring about worldly affairs."
"Why did Miss Huang suddenly mention him?"
Lin Bai once read the genealogy of the current royal family, which included a list of the descendants of Emperor Chu.
On it, Lin Bai saw the identity and origin of the twenty-first prince.
But because he was not too outstanding, Lin Bai didn't pay much attention to him.
"He is missing." Huang Qingyun said seriously to Lin Bai.
Ah?... Lin Bai's eyes widened, not knowing what he meant, "Why didn't I hear the news?"
Huang Qingyun said: "At dawn today, the commander of the Zhaoxing Division personally visited the Holy Lotus Palace."
"According to the commander of the Zhaoxing Division...the twenty-first prince was extremely drunk in the palace last night and was helped out of the palace by a young woman."
"Later, the ANBU of the Shogun Division went to protect her, but were injured on the spot by this woman."
"At this point, this woman mysteriously disappeared into the imperial capital with the twenty-one princes."
Lin Bai narrowed his eyes... Someone kidnapped the twenty-first prince? Why is this?
And who did it?
"The woman who took away the twenty-first prince, I guess... is a disciple of the Holy Lotus Palace, right?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Huang Qingyun nodded sadly, "Zhang Peixuan is the core disciple of the Holy Lotus Palace, and he is also the direct disciple of Elder Daluo Daoguo from the Holy Lotus Palace!"
"Her origins are also very innocent."
"She was an orphan since she was a child. She was abandoned by her parents. She was brought back to the sect by the elders of the Holy Lotus Palace when she was still in her infancy."
"Later, she showed extraordinary talent and gradually became a core disciple of the Holy Lotus Palace. Now she also possesses the cultivation power of the Taiyi Daoguo realm."
Huang Qingyun silently explained the origin of "Zhang Peixuan" to Lin Bai, and it sounded...there didn't seem to be any loopholes.
He was an orphan since childhood and was taken back to the Holy Lotus Palace for training when he was still an infant. He should not be a spy placed by other sects.
Huang Qingyun said: "Junior sister Zhang Peixuan is also a person who likes poetry. When she once visited the imperial capital, she met the twenty-first prince."
"The two later became friends."
"After arriving in the imperial capital this time, Junior Sister Zhang Peixuan also visited the twenty-first prince's government office many times."
After hearing this, Lin Bai asked: "Then why did she kidnap the twenty-first prince?"
Huang Qingyun shook his head silently: "This is what we are also very puzzled about. After Zhang Peixuan disappeared last night, he never appeared again or returned to the palace."
"At dawn today, the Minister of Justice will come to ask for someone."
"Brother Lin, the Holy Lotus Palace is in big trouble this time."
"Maybe there is still a possibility of destruction."
Huang Qingyun and several old women all frowned, their brows furrowed tightly and unable to open.
Lin Bai shook his head and smiled: "That's not the case, Miss Huang, even if this piece of Pei Xuan kidnapped the twenty-one princes."
"But Zhang Peixuan is not an important figure in the Holy Lotus Palace after all. In the final analysis, she is just a core disciple."
"Although what she did is inseparable from the Holy Lotus Palace, if the Holy Lotus Palace is willing to go to Emperor Chu to explain a few words, I believe that Emperor Chu will not go to war with the Holy Lotus Palace because of this matter."
"This talk of 'destruction' will definitely not happen."
"unless……"
After Lin Bai finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.
Huang Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "Unless... Zhang Peixuan kills the twenty-first prince, then it will be equivalent to enmity between the Holy Lotus Palace and the Chu royal family."
"If the twenty-first prince dies in the hands of the Holy Lotus Palace, Emperor Chu will definitely not give up easily."
This is correct... Lin Bai nodded silently, "Then what are the plans of the Holy Lotus Palace now?"
Huang Qingyun said: "Find Zhang Peixuan's location as soon as possible and ask her why she did this?"
"Only by rescuing the twenty-first prince intact can we make up for this mistake."
Lin Bai nodded, "Now that Miss Huang has a countermeasure, is there anything Lin can do to help?"
Huang Qingyun invited Lin Bai over, obviously asking Lin Bai to help.
Therefore, Lin Bai also asked bluntly... What kind of help did Huang Qingyun plan to ask him to do?
Huang Qingyun said: "The Holy Lotus Palace is just one of the seven major sects of the Chu Kingdom, and like the five major families in the imperial capital, it has a complicated intelligence network in the imperial capital."
"Compared with finding people, Holy Lotus Palace is not good at it!"
"But Brother Lin has connections with Prince Hong's Mansion. If Brother Lin is willing to help, I will be very grateful!"
Lin Bai looked calm and looked back outside the Holy Lotus Palace. Miss Shen Xian was still waiting for him outside.
"Okay, I'll go back and see if I can use the connections in Prince Hong's Mansion to help you check." Lin Bai agreed with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Brother Lin." Huang Qingyun said, "I will go to the Chen family later and ask Brother Chen to help me too."
Lin Bai nodded and said: "Yes, the Chen family also has a large intelligence network in the imperial capital. They should all be able to help!"
After Huang Qingyun asked again and again, Lin Bai walked out of the Holy Lotus Palace.
After walking out of the palace, Lin Bai looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly... Why does the imperial capital feel more and more chaotic!
Chao Yushi drove over in a deer cart, opened the curtain, and motioned for Lin Bai to get in.
Lin Bai did not refuse and climbed onto the deer cart.
When they arrived at the deer carriage, before Lin Bai could speak, Miss Shen Xian said first, "Zhang Peixuan is a warrior from the Nine Nether Demon Palace!"
What!... Lin Bai's eyes widened and he looked at Miss Shen Xian in disbelief.
