Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 19

Ch 19: Princess’s Whereabouts

Wang Guifei sensed an anomaly in the Imperial Palace. With a flash of her figure, she also stepped through the air, standing steadily in mid-air, forming a confrontational stance with Yu Chaoen.

Her luxurious palace attire swayed gently in the wind, her face was stern, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Just then, Jiang Chen arrived late. He looked at the confrontation in mid-air from afar, and couldn’t help but be amazed.

He didn’t expect that this Wang Guifei was also a Heavenly-Human Realm expert, and her strength was not inferior to anyone present.

“I really didn’t expect that this Wang Guifei would also be such an expert.”

Jiang Chen muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the two people in mid-air, for fear of missing any detail.

At this moment, the situation had become increasingly tense. The atmosphere between Yu Chaoen and Wang Guifei seemed to have solidified, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. A great battle seemed imminent.

“Yu Chaoen! How dare you be so bold as to break into my palace grounds? Could it be that you want to rebel?”

Wang Guifei’s voice was clear and powerful, like piercingly cold ice, making people feel a chill.

Hearing this, Yu Chaoen curled his lips into a sneer, but his eyes had already revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

Although he knew that Wang Guifei had a noble status and extraordinary strength, he was now in a difficult position and could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

“Imperial Concubine, this Old Servant is also acting under orders, please step aside and don’t make things difficult for this Old Servant.”

Although Yu Chaoen’s words were polite, a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

“So what if she is an Imperial Concubine?” Yu Chaoen sneered in his heart. It wasn’t like he hadn’t killed people of high status and power before.

In this Imperial Palace, power and life and death were often only a matter of a moment’s thought.

If the Princess was indeed in Wang Guifei’s palace, then Wang Guifei would definitely not escape death today.

After all, Princess Yuling was no ordinary princess. She held a great secret that even the Ming Emperor was closely watching. If this secret was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“What if I don’t allow it today?”

Wang Guifei’s voice was firm. She knew that if this matter was leaked today, their Wang family would be wiped out.

“Freeze!”

Just then, a thick and majestic voice suddenly came from the sky, as if a god had descended, inspiring awe.

This voice seemed to carry some kind of magical power. Wang Guifei’s body instantly froze in place, as if sealed by invisible frost, unable to move at all.

Seeing this, Yu Chaoen was overjoyed, knowing that The Emperor had taken action.

He immediately flashed his figure, rushed into Wang Guifei’s residence like a ghost, and began to search carefully.

He knew that time was short and he had to find the Princess as soon as possible. If time was dragged on for too long, things would become more troublesome.

Yu Chaoen searched everywhere in the residence, not letting go of any corner.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and any slight movement could not escape his perception.

He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping to find the Princess in the shortest possible time and bring her back to the palace safely.

The maids stood beside him, trembling with fear.

But even after one incense stick’s time had passed, Yu Chaoen still gained nothing.

Meng Wangjin was outside, and he couldn’t hear any movement from inside for a long time. His heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Now he was full of regret, wondering why he brought Jiang Chen in.

If Princess Yuling’s whereabouts could not be found in Wang Guifei’s palace, then perhaps in order to appease the Wang family’s anger, the Ming Emperor would even sacrifice him.

After all, a small Battalion Commander could not satisfy the Wang family.

But now he had no choice.

Just as Meng Wangjin was regretting, Yu Chaoen walked out with a gloomy face.

“I didn’t find her.”

He looked at Jiang Chen, as if trying to capture a hint of panic from his face.

But Jiang Chen was calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

“Of course you can’t find her by searching like that. Didn’t I tell you from the beginning that Princess Yuling is right under everyone’s noses?”

“What do you mean by this?”

Yu Chaoen had no choice but to suppress his temper and ask.

“Isn’t Princess Yuling right here?”

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the group of maids.

Yu Chaoen’s eyes lit up immediately. He immediately came to the group of maids and grabbed them one by one to check.

Soon, a maid with a dull face and a fat figure was grabbed out by Yu Chaoen.

He looked at the maid and groped on her face for a moment.

Suddenly, Yu Chaoen directly pulled out a long needle from behind the maid’s ear.

The next moment, the maid’s appearance instantly changed a bit.

Yu Chaoen was overjoyed and immediately groped out several more silver needles.

After pulling them out one by one, a face that he could not be more familiar with immediately appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Princess!”

Yu Chaoen immediately knelt down and shouted loudly.

Wang Guifei, who was frozen in mid-air, had a pale face and her eyes were full of despair.

After a while, several masked women came here, picked up Princess Yuling, and disappeared from this place.

“Chaoen, send them out. The following are some family matters, which are not convenient for outsiders to see.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

A flash of excitement flashed in Yu Chaoen’s eyes, and he said to everyone: “Please, everyone.”

The group left the Imperial Palace along the original route.

Yu Chaoen excitedly asked Jiang Chen: “Young Hero, I still don’t understand how you saw through it. Could you explain it to me?”

Jiang Chen nodded: “I guess the truth of the matter should be that yesterday Princess Yuling went to Wang Guifei’s palace to play. Wang Guifei should have been planning this for a long time, and found someone to lure away the guard.”

“Then she had one of her subordinates, a master of disguise, use the trick of substituting a fake for the real one, poisoning the real Princess and hiding her, and then letting the fake princess go to visit and play everywhere.”

“In this way, even if the guard came, he would not have time to carefully observe the princess, and would not quickly discover the flaws in her.”

After hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Yu Chaoen was a little puzzled: “But the imperial concubines of each palace all know Princess Yuling. If they rashly replace her, wouldn’t they discover the abnormality?”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: “The substitute that Wang Guifei found should have been cultivated for a long time. It is even more likely that she is a maid beside Princess Yuling, but this maid was replaced by another person, so her every word and deed are quite similar to Princess Yuling.”

“In addition, the time she spends in each concubine’s palace is very short, so it is naturally difficult to expose her. After all, who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to dare to substitute a fake for the real one.”

Yu Chaoen still asked in confusion: “Then after returning to the palace, who was the assassin who broke into the room? And where did the fake princess go?”
