The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Chapter 297 Heading North (2)

Shen Yu reached out to take it. After handling it, she found that this small thing that looked like a stone was actually very heavy. The inside should be made of black iron or something like that. She asked curiously, "Did you make this yourself?"

Wu Zhong nodded and explained, "This was made by a craftsman from the secret agency." He glanced at Prince Zhuo again, "...He is from the Ji family."

Shen Yu looked at Lu Yingxing in surprise, and when he saw that he had no reaction, his heart sank.

Noticing his wife's sudden depression, Lu Yingxing clenched her little hand tightly, leaving her no chance of escape.

But at this moment, Shen Yu couldn't help but have ripples in his thoughts. Didn't he say that he didn't understand the Ji family? Was his performance in the palace last night all acting?

Was he...guarding himself against me? When she decided to give him her trust?

Suddenly, a whisper came into my ear, "When we return to Zhuo City, I will tell you everything I know. Madam, believe me."

Shen Yu struggled to break free from the big hand that was holding her, and her eyes fell on the jade pendant and the stone on the table. After comparing them, the two really seemed to be from the same source... Shen Yu's eyes were deep and complicated, and she chose to remain silent.

The hateful big hand wrapped around her again, even stronger than before, and with a hint of soothing in it... She struggled several times but couldn't get rid of it, so she simply gave up struggling. Her little hand was instantly wrapped tightly like an octopus, unable to move, but it cleverly calmed the uneasiness in her heart. Was she worrying too much?

Believe it? Or not? Shen Yu's eyes were full of confusion.

This was the first time she had given her feelings to someone else. She only knew that marriage required loyalty and exclusivity, but she didn't know how to get along with her father. She believed that trust was a mutual thing, and this uneasy emotion made her feel unfamiliar.

Although the two had never promised to completely exchange secrets, she was looking forward to it and even thought about explaining her true origins, but now... she was not sure.

"princess?"

Shen Yu looked up and caught the puzzled looks from all around. She quickly adjusted her mood and put on her usual calm and composed look, "Sir, please continue."

Wu Zhong nodded and introduced the small square in the simplest words, "This is the key to the secret room in our Zhuocheng garrison. It stores all the intelligence collected by secret agents in the past hundred years. Because it is a serious matter, the old prince personally visited the head of the Ji family. The two had a secret conversation for a day and a night. No one knew what the conversation was about. Until half a year later, a secret space appeared in the garrison. This small stone is the key to enter and exit. It must be placed in the designated location to open it. If it is placed in the wrong place once, all the files inside will be burned. Wu Su, as my successor, has naturally seen it."

Shen Yu remained silent after hearing this. It turned out that one should not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. This made her a little curious about this thing.

The "Secret Agency" of Prince Zhuo's Mansion is an independent entity, which was established by Prince Zhuo himself. In fact, it is just a part of the original secret guard function, such as eavesdropping, lurking and other information-related work. The "Secret Agency" is closer to the modern intelligence department.

But this is a low-profile version, which is far from enough in Shen Yu's eyes, including the 'Zimu Study' she had personally established, and the scattered information channels of the old members of the Su family.

As a former leader of a special agent team, Shen Yu's work content includes but is not limited to these. She can quickly build a complete file for the target, including his birth, experience, love history, etc. Even his unknown trajectory and secrets are exposed in front of her.

Wherever you go, you will leave traces. In the world of the Internet, Shen Yu is very confident that nothing can escape her eyes.

But after traveling through the book, she lost this confidence. In ancient times, to find out the news about a person, one would need to use countless manpower and material resources to visit and investigate, then collect and organize the information, and then go through layers of screening and analysis before finally compiling a complete file.

This is the result of the joint efforts of countless people. As long as there is a problem in any one link, the answer will be far off.

This is also a common problem among the Secret Service, Zimu Study, and Su Mansion.

What they lack is not the source of information, nor the manpower, but the thinking of intelligence analysis, or the wild imagination. This requires the analyst to have extraordinary insight, and the judgment and intuition to get to the core after unraveling the mystery.

Just like the Ou family incident this time, except for her, none of these elites in front of her could integrate the various seemingly unrelated clues... It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but this was not a problem of their ability, but a problem of their perspective on things.

Modern people are more accustomed to fragmented reading and thinking. Various plots and stories, even most routine TV dramas and novels have appeared, so we will have an impression after watching them.

To put it bluntly, these ancients simply looked at things too narrowly... Every time Wu Zhong asked for advice, she felt that she had a long way to go.

But now... Shen Yu turned to look at Lu Yingxing who was looking at her lovingly. She was not sure. Maybe he was just playing the pig to eat the tiger? Ha!

"Well, it's possible. The two things are indeed very similar."

Shen Yu calmed down his thoughts and explained to everyone, "This is the jade pendant that Prince De got from the eldest son of the Ou family. It is a symbol of status for the previous dynasty's aristocratic family."

"But the Ou family has been in decline for too long, and the inheritance is basically broken. According to Master Ou, his great-grandfather said that as long as the jade pendant is in hand, when the Ou family is unfortunately destroyed, the previous dynasty family will help. This is their promise, and it is also a rule that everyone must abide by."

Wu Lie was the first to refute after hearing this, "No way, just based on this broken... based on this jade pendant? It doesn't have any patterns, wouldn't it be easy to counterfeit? Even if the Ou family really came to them, what can they do if they don't acknowledge it? This is too ridiculous!"

"I think that the people of the Ou family can't even see the head of the aristocratic family..."

Wu Liu looked at the puzzled crowd and said, "Suppose now someone suddenly appeared at the gate of Prince Zhuo's mansion with this thing, could he see the prince? Obviously not, so the idea of ​​lending a helping hand... is more like nonsense, right?"

"Besides, the so-called aristocratic families of the previous dynasties have no identification, so who knows which one it is?" Guyu also spoke up.

Ever since she and Wu Liu started following Shen Yu, their way of thinking has been completely opened up and they are very good at discovering problems on their own.

Their words made everyone present suddenly realize, that's right! Could this young master of the Ou family be deceived?

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Mr. Wu, please stay. I will tell you about the things in the palace. Wu Liu, you ask someone to prepare. We will leave tonight." Lu Yingxing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Everyone left one after another, and just as Shen Yu was about to get up, he was grabbed:

"Madam, will you stay with me?"
