Chapter 878: Where are the insiders?

In the palace of Princess Yongping in Kyoto, Princess Yongping, who had just returned from a banquet in the palace, took off her fur robe, took the steaming tea cup, and waved away everyone. .

"How is the situation over there in Shou'an City?"

She looked at the chess game that was half played this morning and seemed to be talking to herself.

When she finished speaking, a figure came out from the corner: "Back to Princess, the three chess pieces we placed in Shou'an City...we have lost two."

Princess Yongping's alcohol smell faded away instantly, and she looked over with sharp eyes.

The person who replied was slightly stressed: "According to the message from the remaining chess piece, she will find a way to rescue her companions."

Princess Yongping heard this and said nothing.

The air in the room seemed to be constantly compressing, and the silent room became increasingly suffocating.

After a while, some sweat was already brewing on the forehead of the person who answered the question, and his breathing was not as steady as before.

"How were those two people exposed?" Princess Yongping's cold voice broke the stalemate.

The person who responded quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "In fact, it was not clearly exposed. It was just that Sheng Wenzhen was imprisoned in the local internal security station as soon as he showed up."

"..." Princess Yongping, who was thinking fast, never expected such an answer, "You were arrested as soon as you showed up?"

"Back to Princess, it's true, it's true." The person who replied found it difficult to understand Sheng Yuan's behavior.

"She must have discovered some clues!" Princess Yongping stroked her forehead and concluded that the cunning Sheng Yuan must have discovered some clues. "Is there something wrong here?"

"..." The person who replied paused after hearing this. Although he didn't want to confront Princess Yongping, he couldn't hold it back and said in a tentative tone, "Your Highness, do you think there is a possibility that it's that Sheng Liuyuan?" ...too cautious?"

"Um?"

The person who responded swallowed and whispered, "It is said that after our people were imprisoned in the inner prison of the inner guard station, Sheng Liuyuan never paid attention to them again, leaving it to the inner guards to investigate."

Princess Yongping listened, her lips pursed into a straight line.

"You know that the people in the inner guard are the emperor's hawks and dogs. Anyone who enters their inner prison, unless there is really no reason to do so, will only be able to get in easily but not get out!"

"The handle?" Princess Yongping's tone was so cold that it almost turned into ice.

When the person who replied heard the words, he hurriedly added: "Shou'an City is closely guarded by people from eight surnames and twelve families. If our people want to stay and make connections, naturally they cannot always follow the rules... Some things are true. It’s unlikely to withstand investigation.”

"Huh!" Princess Yongping was so angry that she threw the chess piece she was holding on her fingertips onto the chessboard.

The chess piece was polished from fine jade. It was thrown out suddenly and bounced on the chessboard in an instant. While disrupting the end of the game, a few bounced to the ground, then spun around for a while, and finally stopped. Beside the legs of the table.

Although this was her favorite chess piece, Princess Yongping couldn't care less about it at the moment: "Now that I've been caught, and I've cut off contact with them, I don't want anyone to follow the clues and come to the princess's house!"

The person who replied quickly lowered his head: "It's my subordinate who did something wrong, and the princess will punish him!"

"I'm afraid Sheng Wenzhen is either too lazy to study carefully or wants to catch a big fish... Hum, that's right. How can Shou'an City live peacefully with her here?!" Princess Yongping didn't respond, but sneered several times and took the pot again. He took out a black chess piece and said, "I want to see if she and the people from the Eight and Twelve families can always live in peace!"
