After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 249: The one who locked us up before?

Shiyue paused, took a deep breath, and then replied in a low voice: "Cold Palace."

He Yun frowned upon hearing this and asked in surprise, "The cold palace in the imperial palace?"

"Yes," Shiyue nodded, looking solemn, "I led people to dig this out, and it's been five years."

His eyes became distant and deep, as if he was recalling the past that he could not bear to look back on.

"Five years?" He Yun murmured, frowning slightly.

Five years ago, the tenth prince was ordered to leave the palace and build a mansion. He Yun was thinking secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, He Yun suddenly remembered what Mei Xue had said to him when he was in Xuan State.

So, he looked up at Shiyue and asked, "How long have you been with the Tenth Prince?"

Shiyue didn't dare to hide anything and answered honestly, "Almost fifteen years."

"Fifteen years!" He Yun murmured softly, with a ripple in his heart.

Fifteen years ago, the tenth prince was just a three-year-old child.

How much does Shiyue, who has been with the Tenth Prince for fifteen years, know about him?

He Yun's eyes became sharper, staring at Shiyue closely, and continued to ask: "Tell me everything you know."

Shi Yue felt the pressure in He Yun's eyes. After a moment of silence, she finally made up her mind and said, "I can tell you everything, but you have to ensure our safety."

He Yun nodded slightly, showing a faint smile, and replied: "Okay."

After getting He Yun's promise, Shi Yue took a deep breath and began to slowly tell all the secrets he knew about the Tenth Prince...

Time passed minute by minute, and when Shiyue finished telling everything, it was almost noon.

After listening to this, He Yun prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said, "You two should live in the same yard for the next few days."

Shiyue didn't react for a moment, and after a pause asked, "The one who locked us up before?"

He Yun nodded, "What else?"

Shi Yue frowned, "It's just that small courtyard. What if the Tenth Prince searches it?"

He Yun paused as he was leaving, "Not only that yard, but the whole area is ours."

"There's a secret passage in the dry well in the backyard. If you see something wrong, just hide in there."

Shi Yue choked upon hearing this and asked again, "Who are you working for? Not to mention that yard, even this restaurant is not something you can buy."

He Yun smiled upon hearing this and said sincerely, "This is all thanks to someone who had a keen eye for talent and found a business genius."

Shi Yue widened her eyes and looked at He Yun's departing back in surprise, secretly speculating about the power and purpose behind him.

Seeing that they were fine, He Yun said, "Don't go out unless you have something to do. Sister-in-law Liu and Chen Ying will take care of you."

After saying that, He Yun left.

After a while, a waiter came in, nodded to them, and said, "Master He ordered me to take you back."

Shiyue and Shiri looked at each other and followed the guy obediently.

The waiter took the two of them to the backyard of the teahouse, and when they came to the dry well in the backyard, the waiter opened the well cover and jumped down.

Shiyue and Shiri were a little confused, but they followed anyway.

Entering the bottom of the well, the guy pushed away a stone slab, revealing a secret passage.

The three of them wandered around inside for more than half an hour before the guy led them out.

Shiyue raised her head and saw a familiar courtyard, which was the house where they lived before.

The guy finished his task and said to them, "See you later, guys."

After saying that, the guy went back into the dry well.

Shiyue and Shiri looked at each other, then returned to the front yard, closed the door and did not go out again.

A few days later, late at night, Shiyue suddenly heard a slight noise. He opened his eyes abruptly and sat up vigilantly.

He listened carefully and found that the sound came from the yard outside the room.

Shiyue got out of bed carefully, gently pushed open the window, and looked towards the yard door.

Under the moonlight, several dark shadows tried to climb over the wall.

Shiyue's heart tightened, and he subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand, and whispered to Shiri: "Wake up!"

Shi Ri suddenly opened his eyes, quickly picked up the sword on the table, and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, a deep and familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me, He Yun."

Shiyue and Shiri looked at each other, then Shiyue sighed softly and opened the door to let He Yun in.

He Yun walked into the room, closed the door, and sat in front of the candlelight.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Half an hour ago, several bodies were found in a cemetery ten miles outside the suburbs."

After saying that, he took something out of his pocket and put it on the table. Shiyue looked closely and found that it was a piece of silver.

He looked at He Yun in surprise, only to see him staring at him expressionlessly.

Shiyue's hands were trembling as he slowly took out another identical piece of silver from his arms.

He Yun continued, "The death was very tragic. All his limbs were broken and his head was missing."

"Then..." Shiyue's voice trembled. He slowly raised the silver in his hand, his eyes full of doubt and uneasiness, and asked softly: "This..."

He Yun sighed deeply, his expression solemn and serious, "In order to avoid leaving any traces, the silver I give you is specially made. Therefore, in the entire Qi State, this kind of silver is unique."

He calmly announced an extremely cruel fact, his tone so cold that it made people feel suffocated: "No more, no less, exactly six bodies."

Shi Ri could no longer endure the fear and despair in his heart. With a trembling voice, he asked anxiously, "Master He, are you saying that they are all... dead?"

There was a hint of final hope in his voice, as if he still wanted to hear a negative answer from He Yun.

However, He Yun just nodded silently, as if telling them this cruel reality.

"I'm sorry, our people didn't follow them after they left the city. They must have met with misfortune after leaving the city."

He Yun turned his head and looked at Shiyue who had been silent all the time, and said in a heavy tone: "I don't know what the tempers and personalities of your companions are like, but if they are not tight-lipped, then this place will no longer be safe for you."

"What do you want to do?" Shiyue knew that now was not the time to worry about those people. The most important thing right now was to protect herself and Shiri.

He Yun raised his eyebrows and told his plan, "Early tomorrow morning, a caravan will leave from Kyoto for Wuzhou. You two will go with them."

"As for now," He Yun paused, "right now, clean this up right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who came with He Yun rushed in, took out a handful of dry soil from the sack they carried with them, and scattered it in the house.

Although Shiyue didn't understand what was going on, he followed them.
