The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 920 - 918: The Insider

After receiving the order, Grandmaster Jin retreated.

As soon as Grandmaster Jin left, Empress Feng’s expression changed.

"Dog servant, still trying to dodge me. Do you really think the matter of the Dragon Vein can be hidden from me?"

Just a moment ago, the aura of the Dragon Vein suddenly appeared, and she had already noticed it.

Both Emperor Longteng and Grandmaster Jin still wanted to cover it up.

That Long Zi guy, always professing his love for her, yet she still ranked behind his country and empire.

Empress Feng was full of resentment.

"Empress, has the Dragon Vein really appeared? Shouldn’t you write to inform the Eldest Prince and the others? Once we have the Dragon Vein and consume it, our Luan Clan has hope for revival."

The palace maid behind Empress Feng was overjoyed.

"It’s not the right time yet; the aura of the Dragon Vein is very weak, and consuming it won’t be much use. We must find the True Dragon. Unfortunately, after all these years in Longteng, I still haven’t figured out where the True Dragon is hiding."

Empress Feng gritted her teeth.

The matter of the True Dragon is known to no more than five people throughout Longteng Country.

Among them, the informed Chu Beiqing has been foolish for years.

General Shi has long been killed.

The remaining ones are only Emperor Longteng and that one from the Taichang Temple.

These two, Empress Feng couldn’t act against, for now.

Even though she had been married to Emperor Longteng for many years, he never mentioned anything about the True Dragon.

Even those around Emperor Longteng, including General Zuo and Grandmaster Jin, only had a half-understanding, which greatly irritated Empress Feng.

"Keep a close watch on Grandmaster Jin; if there is any movement from the Emperor’s side, inform me immediately."

Empress Feng pondered over and over, but could only wait and see. Since the person holding the Dragon Vein had it now, they would definitely use it a second time, at which point she could sense where the Dragon Vein was.

"Empress."

A Hidden Guard’s voice suddenly rang out.

"There is news from the County Government Prison."

"What news?"

Empress Feng asked cautiously.

Not only in the Imperial Palace but also in various critical departments of Purple Cloud City, Empress Feng had her spies.

This was something even Emperor Longteng had not anticipated.

"A few days ago, the county government took in a prisoner, a person from the Ancient Yue Kingdom. He was reported for poisoning and sent in. The Ministry of Justice sentenced him to immediate execution. He just confessed, claiming to know something about the True Dragon and pleading for the Empress to spare his life."

Upon hearing this, Empress Feng’s eyes flashed.

"Does he know me?"

Empress Feng, being naturally suspicious, had to thoroughly question a prisoner of unknown origins.

"He says he belongs to Young Master Tu, and Young Master Tu mentioned that if something happened, he should find you."

The Hidden Guard answered.

"Additionally, the deaths of Chu Tianyi and his daughter have been confirmed to be at the hands of Young Master Tu. However, according to reliable sources, the one Young Master Tu intended to kill was the pair Chu Beiqing and his daughter, with Chu Tianyi and his daughter being scapegoats."

The Hidden Guard said.

Upon hearing this, Empress Feng raised an eyebrow.

"What grudge does Young Master Tu have against Chu Beiqing?"

"That is unknown; the subordinate also interrogated the prisoner, who said he was unaware."

After hearing this, Empress Feng waved her hand.

"Someone, prepare my attire. I want to meet this prisoner."

Before long, Empress Feng left the palace and headed to the County Government Prison.

In the County Government Prison, the Four-star Spirit Chef Yang Su was still strapped to the punishment rack.

In just a few days, he went from a respectable chef to a prisoner.

In the first few days of his confinement, Yang Su held out hope, relying on the Young Prince to save him.

But as several days passed without the appearance of the Young Prince, with the banquet about to end and the execution order from the Ministry of Justice already given, Yang Su became anxious.
