Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 308 - 308: Assassinating the Crown Prince

They chatted for a while.

Zhang Ronghua stood up and bade farewell. The crown prince rewarded him with some spirit fruits and five flasks of Heavenly Jade Wine, and asked Shuang ‘er to send him out of the Eastern Palace.

The door closed.

Qing ‘Er became even more suspicious. Just now, she secretly used the Heavenly Eye Technique to check on Zhang Ronghua. In the end, he was still at the seventh tier of the grandmaster realm, which did not match the strength of the great grandmaster he had displayed on the street. She shook her head and said,”This servant can’t see through it!”

The Crown Prince recalled the golden shadow’s words and secretly guessed, could he really be in the Heaven Tier? He felt that it was too exaggerated. He had come from the Imperial Army, had no resources, no background, and no good cultivation techniques. He had only been able to bring him to the Imperial Palace after he had shown enough potential in the Eastern Palace. He had only been able to enter the Imperial Palace’s arsenal and obtain the Black Yellow Heaven-Opening Art. Otherwise, he would have had no chance at all.

Moreover, his age was obvious. Even Ji Xueyan and the others were only martial grandmasters and had yet to break through to the Celestial Realm. No matter how powerful his talent was, he could not be stronger than Ji Xueyan and the others, right?

After pondering for a moment, he voiced his guess.”lt’s very likely that he’s trained in some kind of brilliant Qi Restraining Technique.”

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Zhang Ronghua walked on the streets. As the bright moonlight shone down, he narrowed his eyes and pondered. Just now, Qing ‘er had secretly used an eye technique to check on him. With his strength, how could he not have noticed it? It was just that he did not show it. Was this the Crown Prince’s intention? Or was it her own idea? Or both?

Or rather…

The Crown Prince knew from the beginning that he was hiding his true strength, but he did not ask. If he wanted to deal with the Fire Drake clan today, his cultivation was too low to be decisive. He could only use the Golden Dragon Sword and his cultivation at the first level of the Great Grandmaster

Realm. Even if he caught the Second Elder, he was injured by the Crown Prince’s men. Even if he interrogated him, the result was the same. He was only at the first level of the Great Grandmaster Realm and had no other information.

Although they had exposed a little, it was not a big deal. Everyone knew very well that this day would come sooner or later.

However, he had also gained a lot. He had accidentally discovered the Crown Prince’s hidden strength, which could easily injure a half-step Celestial Being. This strength was not simple.

Combined with the information he had received previously, the Crown Prince’s hidden power was probably very deep. Only he knew how deep it was.

A new doubt appeared.

He was clearly so powerful, so why didn’t he use it? Was he afraid of the Xia Emperor? From their recent contact and the matter with the Sixth Prince, no matter what he did to the outside world, when it came to his own child, even if he was involved in the ruthlessness of the imperial family, he still valued kinship very much in his heart.

He made him the Crown Prince, expanded the Flood Dragon Guards, allowed the Crown Prince to come into contact with the government, and learned government affairs from him. All these signs showed that he was being nurtured as the next Human Emperor.

Since that was the case, why did the Crown Prince still secretly nurture his forces? And hid it so deeply? Other than him, did the Xia Emperor or anyone else know?

Or perhaps he wasn’t guarding against the Xia Emperor, but against someone

With his status and the power of the Empress, after the marriage, with the Grand Tutor Residence, the three of them would join forces. With such a huge force, was there still anything that he was afraid of?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. There was limited information, and he could not guess based on the scattered bits and pieces in front of him.

He shook his head.

He didn’t think about it. As his status increased, the power he controlled increased. Sooner or later, he would find out everything hidden in the dark. Returning to the home of the Vermillion Bird Lane

Just as he arrived at the backyard, Uncle Shi was sitting at the door waiting for him. It was already so late and he was still not asleep. It seemed like something had happened. Seeing him come, he took out a letter and quickly walked forward. He handed the letter over and explained,”You weren’t around in the afternoon. A young man called Shen Ming came in a carriage and asked this old servant to pass tms letter to you: “It’s getting late. Go and rest!”

“You should sleep early too.”

After entering the hall, he closed the door and lit the candle. He opened the envelope and took out the letter inside to read. The letter said that Shen Ming’s family and Yin Shanshan’s family had sold their businesses under Pei Caicai’s arrangements and had left the capital. They had specially written to thank him.

After reading the letter, he pinched it with his palm and crushed it with a powerful force.

Zhang Ronghua smiled. Pei Cai had kept his promise and had not broken his promise. He had promised Zhang Ronghua that he would be in charge of the rest of the matters. Zhang Ronghua did not expect Pei Cai to be so thoughtful. From this, it was no wonder that he could climb to the high position of Minister of Rites with his own ability without the support of any faction. It was not without reason.

He got up from the chair and sat down on the bed, circulating the Black Yellow

Heaven Opening Technique to cultivate.

The next day.

He got up early and stood by the lake to practice the Great Five Elements

Heaven-Splitting Sword Formation, the Sky-Trampling Secret Skill, and the True Spirit Treasure Technique. He practiced it three times in a row before stopping.

Purple Cat continued to practice. The wind blew and the thunder struck. He practiced for four hours every day until he had mastered the Mountain River World Suppression Fist.

After four hours, he would continue to cultivate the Black Tortoise Spirit Technique. When he mastered it, he could leave. This was a hard rule set by Zhang Ronghua. There was no room for bargaining.

The cat could only go all out and cultivate with all its might.

After washing up, she changed into a clean set of black clothes and sat in the lobby to eat breakfast.

After eating.

Uncle Shi drove the carriage towards the Vermillion Bird Gate. In the carriage, Zhang Ronghua was calculating. It had been two days since Pei Caicai met him and warned him that he needed to be promoted.. There should be news today, right?
