Shen Lingjue's smile suddenly turned cold, his gaze was as sharp as an ice knife as he looked at the crown prince.

Shen Youhuang hastily dismounted and said, "Brother King Yu, we received a secret message saying that the Duke Yu Mansion had been attacked by assassins and had come to help." Seeing that you are unharmed, we can rest at ease. "

"Sorry for troubling you, Crown Prince, and Fourth Brother. There are no assassins in the Yu Mansion."

Shen Lingjue smiled faintly, having moved over a chair for him to sit at the entrance.

The Crown Prince was stunned, good heavens, Shen Ling Jue, I have fifty assassins, and you dare say there are no assassins!

He gave a meaningful glance to Shen Youhuang, who walked up to Shen Ling Jue and said humbly and humbly:

"Brother Yuhuang, the secret report is about the assassin's arrest and the sound of fighting. For the sake of the capital city's security, you'd better let us in to take a look."

Shen Ling Jue leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, had a carefree look in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Yes, we can take a look, but the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother can enter, but the Imperial Guards have no right to search our Yu Mansion. Please return to the palace and protect our Imperial Father."

As he spoke, the guards of the manor had already filed out of the side door of the manor and were standing in confrontation with the imperial guards.

The Crown Prince was furious.

"Alright, I will only bring my personal bodyguard to take a look."

Only then did Shen Ling Jue stand up, and ordered the guards to make way for him.

The Crown Prince and Shen Youhuang each brought two bodyguards with them as they walked into King Yu's Mansion together with Shen Ling Jue.

Prince Yu's mansion was brightly decorated, and the scenery during the night was not any worse than in the imperial palace. Let alone the Residence of Prince Cheng, even the crown prince's mansion paled in comparison.

The crown prince Shen Di quickly made her way to the Thousand Blessings Pavilion. Shen You and Huang Xiaolong couldn't even stop her.

Seeing that, Feng Ningyan ridiculed, "The secret report that Your Highness received is quite specific, could it be that you even know the location of the battle? Could it be that the crown prince believes in him this much because he's a spy from King Yu's Estate? "

Shen Ling Jue gave a faint smile, "Royal Concubine, don't make wild guesses. The Crown Prince only thought that the treasures of Prince Yu's Mansion were all in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion, so he decided to go there first to see if there were any things that had been lost. What sort of status does the crown prince have?

When the Crown Prince heard this, his face turned red and he continued to walk forward arrogantly.

When the group arrived at the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, they saw that the door was wide open. Golden lanterns hung from the doorways and eaves of the building, it was extremely peaceful and quiet.

As he walked in, the white jade floor tiles shined with oil, each one reflecting the bright moonlight without a speck of dust.

Feng Ningyan was shocked.

How was this possible?

There were no traces of a fight, no traces of blood, just like how the assassins were shadows.

The crown prince and Shen Youhuang were even more in disbelief.

The crown prince carefully walked past the white marble tiles and arrived at the entrance of the Myriad Buddha Temple. Just as he was about to push open the door, Shen Youhuang hastened to stop him.

"Your Highness, I heard that there's a trap in the Thousand Buddha Pavilion. Be careful."

Jing Qi looked at Shen Ling Jue, then walked up with a smile and pushed open the door:

"Those are all rumors. The Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion only put in some scriptures and Buddha statues, and they're not worth much. How could there be a mechanism?"

The door opened, and in front of the hall was a gilded Buddha statue. There were four rows of bookshelves on each side, all thick with scriptures.

The bookshelves were neat and tidy, and the scriptures were clean and clean. How did it look like a fight had just occurred?

The Crown Prince had a puzzled look on his face. If he hadn't personally sent out those assassins, he really would have believed that there was no assassin in the house of the King Yu.

Shen Ling Jue laughed faintly: "What, does Your Highness want to see the scriptures in my Thousand Blessings Pavilion? "But forgive me for being stingy, but I can only read the scriptures and can't take them away. Those are the things that mufei cherished before she died."

The Crown Prince was so angry that his lips were trembling. He didn't say a single word as he walked away.

Shen Youhuang was also a bit at a loss because it was impossible for fifty assassins to vanish into thin air.

The only possibility was that they had been completely wiped out, and their corpses had been taken care of by the men from King Yu's Estate.

He thought he came prepared, but looking at the events of tonight, it felt more like Shen Lingjue invited him.

However, the fifty assassins were all well-trained. Even if they didn't succeed, they would at least cover the retreat, so how could they not leave a single one alive?

When he thought of this doubtful point, he couldn't help but to look at Shen Ling Jue, causing a chill to run down his spine.

Feng Ning Yan could see that Shen You Huang was suspicious. It was obvious that she couldn't understand why the fifty assassins had all evaporated like droplets of water under the scorching sun.

When she thought of Hua Ruyu's sinister plan to sow discord from before, she couldn't help but get angry.

She looked at Shen Youhuang and smiled, "Does Your Highness think that the Myriad Buddha Pavilion is a bit too clean, as if it had been specially cleaned to entertain guests?"

"Ah …" Shen Youhuang smiled gently. "Your consort must be joking. I didn't think that the Scripture Pavilion, which is not very frequented by people, would be so spotless."

He was gentle and humble towards Shen Lingjue, even addressing himself as "Little Wang" in front of Feng Ningyan.

If it wasn't for Feng Ning Yan knowing how venomous and ruthless this person was, she would've been deceived by Shen You Huang just like everyone else.

Shen Ling Jue couldn't help but be curious when he saw Feng Ning Yan suddenly speak to Shen You Huang. Knowing that she had a purpose, he didn't interrupt.

Feng Ning Yan laughed, "That's because tonight, Your Highness King Yu wanted to entertain a bunch of good friends here. Unfortunately, the invitation was miswritten, and those friends might never appear in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion again. What a pity! "

The crown prince had just taken a few steps when he heard Feng Ningyan's words. He suddenly turned around to look at her and Shen You Huang.

Shen Youhuang's expression changed when she heard these words and walked towards the crown prince in terror.

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, "What does this woman mean? I heard that something was wrong! "

Shen Youhuang turned her head to look at Shen Lingjue and said softly, "Chendi …" but I don't really understand the mystery behind it either. "

"You don't understand? "Alright, then listen to my opinion!"

The Crown Prince lowered his voice and fiercely said, "When she said 'hospitality', she meant that Shen Lingjue already knew that there was an assassin. The so-called 'miswritten invitation' might mean that the secret manual we obtained from the Thousand Blessings Pavilion is fake! Thus, all fifty of our assassins have already died here, and will never appear again! "

Feng Ningyan's hint, as long as one was a guilty thief, they would all be able to understand. Thus, even though the Crown Prince was bold and unscrupulous, he also understood the meaning of her words.

Shen Youhuang hadn't thought that the crown prince would be so astute this time. Cold sweat broke out from his forehead due to nervousness as he hurriedly explained:

"Big brother, this plan was foolproof, I believe that the [Mechanical Compass] that Hua Ruyu handed over is not a problem." Shen Ling Jue is simply too cunning, and Feng Ning Yan is not someone who is easy to deal with. Thus, I have to first bring Hua Ruyu away for questioning before I know the truth … Before that, we must not doubt our own people. "

The Crown Prince's face was gloomy, he walked forward a few steps, then turned around and said to Shen Ling Jue: "Very good, since there is no assassin, then I will return to the palace. However, after entering and taking a look, I feel that the defenses of Prince Yu's estate aren't very reliable either.

Seeing that the crown prince was about to leave, Shen Lingjue smiled, "Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. This king will do it."

Shen Youhuang hastened to catch up to the crown prince's words. "This matter has become so … Brother Yuhuang, there are still a few more days until the talent show. Since the flower lady is at Yuwang Mansion, I presume that Brother Yuwang is also disturbed. He might as well hand her over to His Highness the Crown Prince and bring her back to the palace to settle her in the talent show's Jade Embroidery Palace. "If anything happens to him, even Brother Yuanyu will be in trouble."
