When she came into this world, the five-year-old original body was pushed into the water by another princess and died, causing her to raise her for several days before she recovered. But she took advantage of this opportunity to successfully get the favor of her father, and saw what it was like to be above the real power of life and death and tens of thousands of people.

At that moment, an idea was born in her heart: to become an empress! Become an empress like Wu Zetian!

Therefore, she has been secretly planning all these years, thinking that one day she can ascend the throne as the emperor, but now things have taken a big turn.

"Sure enough, the Lord Regent is my biggest roadblock!"

If she had known this, she should have dealt with the regent while he was still young, so that no one could spoil her big business.

"Princess Lanyue is here?" At this time, Xiao Zhuzi walked in with a team of forbidden soldiers.

Princess Lanyue was a little uneasy when she saw this, but she was still stable: "I don't know what happened when the little bamboo father-in-law came?"

Xiao Zhuzi bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Princess Lanyue, Your Majesty has a decree, please come to Jingci Nunnery to pray for him. Princess Lanyue knew that His Majesty's dragon was unwell, and when you prayed for blessings at Jingci Nunnery before, Your Majesty's dragon body was very good, so this time Your Majesty asked you to pray at Jingci Nunnery again."

Princess Lanyue didn't know what the regent meant, and she looked worried: "Father-in-law Xiaozhuzi, my father's dragon body is better?"

Xiao Zhuzi said that he had improved: "Princess Lanyue, please leave for Jingci Nunnery immediately to pray for Your Majesty, there will be a special forbidden army to send you to Jingci Nunnery."

How could Princess Lanyue not understand, this was to imprison her, and she didn't show anything on her face: "It's hard work." I'll pack up now, and immediately go to Jingci Nunnery to pray for my father's blessing."

She was worried that she would not have a chance to leave the palace, and now the regent had given her the opportunity.

Once she left the palace, it would be much easier for her to achieve her goal.

"Then the minion won't bother Princess Lanyue." Xiao Zhuzi left the forbidden army and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall to serve.

About two hours later, Princess Lanyue's carriage left the palace under the escort of the forbidden army and went straight to Jingci Nunnery.

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen, who got the news, quietly entered the palace, and the two went straight to Princess Lanyue's palace.

When she arrived at the dormitory, Tang Yingying saw three capable middle-aged men with bags standing there, and guessed that they were exploring the secret passage.

Mo Chen exempted the three of them from saluting: "Be careful, don't let anyone notice the problem, this secret passage is still useful."

The three of them answered "yes" and opened the entrance to the secret passage.

It's the stepping bed.

On the surface, this is a luxurious and luxurious stepping bed, and even a closer inspection will not reveal the problem. Unless, you find the button under the bed to open the entrance to the secret passage.

Tang Yingying saw the bed folded up, and leaned over to look at the entrance of the secret passage. It was pitch black, and it was impossible to see inside, but I could vaguely see a staircase leading to the bottom.

One of the middle-aged men lit the torch prepared in advance, and slowly descended the secret passage with his companions.

With the light, Tang Yingying and Mo Chen could roughly see the situation in the secret passage. ap.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

The things used in the secret passage are either tribute or the most precious, and even the steps of the staircase are paved with the finest jade.

Tang Yingying's eyebrows jumped fiercely a few times, and she whispered, "Not to mention these good things, those tributes, where did Princess Lanyue come from, and where did she dare to use these tributes?"

Tribute, even if it is rewarded by His Majesty, it can only be enshrined, not something that can be used if you want to, let alone such a large-scale use.

Mo Chen was also thinking about this, his eyes were as sharp as knives: "Perhaps, let's think of Princess Lanyue too simply."

Tang Yingying was shocked when she heard this: "You mean, Princess Lanyue may have that kind of idea?"

Mo Chen pulled her to the chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "If you were a favored princess, would you have the courage to use so many tributes? Or in secret passages."

Tang Yingying shook her head and said no: "Let's not talk about where Princess Lanyue got so many tributes, just she gave these tributes

If you put it in a secret passage, it's enough to arouse suspicion."

"If it were me, if I received so many tributes, I would put them on or wear them on my body to show the emperor's grace."

Mo Chen sorted out all the things and said, "For example, the gems inlaid on the railing of the staircase in the secret passage are placed in the treasury, and His Majesty has rewarded others, but not a few. There are probably dozens of gems on the railing, which means that these gems are not coming from the right source."

He instructed the guards to go and check the treasury to see what was missing.

Tang Yingying touched her cold neck and hissed, "Princess Lanyue has stolen the treasury and used something that exceeds the specifications, and there are still thoughts that shouldn't be there?"

As a person from modern times, she doesn't mind a woman in power, provided that this woman is a Ming monarch, not a selfish and vicious person like Princess Lanyue.

Mo Chen said coldly, "Maybe there are other things. On the railing of a staircase, Princess Lanyue used so many tribute gems, which shows how extravagant and surpassable there is in the secret passage."

If he guessed correctly, there would be more tribute in the secret passage.

Tang Yingying was quite annoyed: "It is estimated that Princess Lanyue quietly stole all kinds of tributes from the treasury through this secret passage, and used them in many places, one of which is this secret passage."

"This Princess Lanyue is really a person who likes to put on music and extravagance. The pomp and circumstance on the day she came back made me extremely unhappy."

Speaking of this, she remembered one thing and patted Mo Chen a few times: "Holy Decree! The holy decree that Princess Lanyue gave you when she came back, do you say it could be written by Quan Lao? At that time, you checked, but His Majesty did not issue this holy decree."

"If that's the case, then it means that Princess Lanyue's return is a conspiracy. She deliberately uses false decrees to deceive us, either as a temptation or as a verification of something."

Mo Chen pondered over this, "You reminded me. Princess Lanyue's intention in taking out this holy decree is not simple, we have to keep an eye on her."

At this moment, Tang Yingying was shocked to realize how simple Princess Lanyue was: "Usually what she shows is all fake, this woman is disguising herself. The fact that she dared to steal so many tributes and use them in these places at will shows that she treats these things as hers."

"Dare to treat the tribute as hers, indicating that her ambition is to become a princess or ...... of the powerful Zhenguo The Empress!"

Only these two can be used as tribute as they please.

Mo Chen snorted, "This can explain her real intention of bribing the courtiers, maneuvering among the princes, and taking advantage of this one by one. These princes are gone, and she, the princess, has the possibility of inheriting the throne."

Tang Yingying admired Princess Lanyue's courage a little, she dared to plan to become an empress in this era, and she couldn't do it without some courage and brains: "If that's the case, what are you going to do?"

"Obey her!"

"You want to cast a long line to catch big fish?"

Mo Chen bowed: "Princess Lanyue is the most likely to come into contact with the people behind the scenes, and it is safest to use her to catch the people behind the scenes."

Tang Yingying sighed, "Then we have to stimulate Princess Lanyue from time to time. You see, we've gained a lot from stimulating her these few times."

"Don't irritate her just yet. Now our first task is to find out about the secret passage. When we find out the secret passage, it's not too late for us to stimulate her."

"You're right. When we find out the secret passage, maybe we can know a lot of things."

The two chatted and waited.

About half an hour later, one of them came back, and he knelt in front of Mo Chen: "Lord Wang, the situation in the secret passage below is a bit complicated, if you probe, it is easy to startle the snake, ......what do you think?"

Mo Chen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's the situation next?"

The man elaborated, "Below it is like a palace, the interior is almost the same as the royal palace, and the things used are all royal and tribute. Every room in it is different, some have access to other places, and some are rooms."

"The specific situation inside, the subordinates haven't inquired yet, for fear of startling the snake."

At this point, Tang Yingying and Mo Chen had already determined that Princess Lanyue wanted to be the emperor.

If she wanted to be the princess of Zhenguo, she would not have these things, and the emperor would have these things.

Tang Yingying shook her head in amazement: "I really can't see that Princess Lanyue has such ambitions. When did she ever have such ambitions, you say? A teenage girl actually wants to be an empress."

Mo Chen was indifferent: "I don't mind if she has this ambition, but she shouldn't do these things."

He values ability and character, not men or women.

Tang Yingying: "Now do you want to continue to investigate the secret path, or stop?"

Mo Chen had already made a decision: "Check the Western Capital first. The movement of the inventory is so big that it can cover up a lot of things."

Tang Yingying praised, "The Lord Regent's idea is excellent. You check the Western Capital, where do you still have the time to keep an eye on the palace, and you will find a way to hide yourself and your tail."

Mo Chen asked the man to continue to check where the secret path could be checked, but he wanted to see what tricks Princess Lanyue and the people behind the scenes were going to play.

"Lord Wang!" Quan An walked in quickly and handed him a piece of information: "Lord Wang, I have already found out about Hang Zhenghao. However, those things that he secretly is still investigating, and some things have not been found yet."

Mo Chen opened the information and read it with Tang Yingying.

Tang Yingying's eyebrows trembled, the Hang family was not a good family in the west where the powerful gathered, at most it was a family with a little spare money. On the surface, the life of this family is very ordinary, but in fact, the life of this family is extremely luxurious.

In layman's terms, it is the luxury of eating one bowl of bird's nest and pouring two bowls.

The Hang family has endless silver, except for Hang Zhenghao, the head of the family, no one knows where so much silver and good things come from, and it's not that no one has asked, all of them died without exception, and no one dared to ask later.

The descendants of the Hang family are all death deeds, and their families are also descendants of the Hang family. The master has no order from the head of the house, so he can only stay in his own courtyard, and he has to get the permission of the head of the house to eat whatever he wants.
