Chapter 10 The Unfathomable Eldest Daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion

The Regent's Palace was brightly lit in the dead of night, and the man sitting in the study was rubbing his hands together. He was waiting for someone, and also for news.

After staggering back, Mingyi did not go through the main gate, but instead concealed his presence and climbed over the wall to enter.

Since the imperial edict was read, many people have been watching the Regent's Palace, both openly and secretly. Now, all sides want to know whether the Regent will swallow his anger or not.

The atmosphere in the study was tense, and Sang Yu, the regent's friend and personal steward, was already getting restless.

"Why hasn't Mingyi returned yet? Could something have happened to her? You think it's worth sending a little girl like her to kill someone?" Sang Yu felt that it was a waste of her talents.

"I've told you so many times, never underestimate your enemy. That little girl is incredibly cunning!" Murong Qian thought of the people she had sent out and that strange hidden weapon.

"You dog emperor, tell me what you're after! How much have you sacrificed for the Yuan family's empire! You might as well rebel!" Sang Yu felt extremely aggrieved, thinking it was all for Murong Qian.

"My goal is not to become emperor! As for Tianyuan Kingdom, I have a feeling that it can unlock the secrets of my life!" Murong Qian said something nonsensical, which Sang Yu didn't understand either.

He met Murong Qian when Sang Yu was assassinated and on the verge of death, and Murong Qian happened to meet him and saved his life!

He has followed Murong Qian for so many years; his life belongs to Murong Qian.

"Your Highness, Mingyi is back!" The steward's voice startled the two people in the room. This time he had been gone for quite a while. Murong Qian frowned, having a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Mingyi came in smelling strongly of blood and his face was pale.

"Your Highness, I have failed!" Mingyi knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

Sang Yu stood up abruptly: "What? You failed? A little girl could hurt you? That's really strange!"

Murong Qian didn't lose control like Sang Yu, which was within my expectations!

From the assassination attempt on the way back to that hidden weapon I'd never seen before, I figured I should go and see that little girl!

"Miss Yun has a message for Your Highness!" Mingyi noticed that the expression on the prince's face was somewhat unpredictable, and he couldn't tell whether the prince was angry or not.

Mingyi thought she must be angry. Murong Qian's hand was still tapping on the table, the "bang bang bang bang" sound striking Mingyi's heart.

Mingyi felt that he was probably doomed. The prince must be angry, and he guessed that he would not be able to escape the dark prison.

"What do you want to say?" Murong Qian still had an inscrutable expression.

“Miss Yun said that there are no deals that cannot be negotiated, only prices that are not right!” Mingyi lowered his head immediately after saying this.

He dared not look at his master's expression, but he guessed it must be unpleasant. Anyone who sent someone to assassinate him and was discovered and brought back alive would not be treated well.

"Ah Qian, this little girl is quite interesting! She actually dares to negotiate with you!" Sang Yu was also a bit curious about this little girl.

"Did she say anything else?" Murong Qian didn't think she had any deals to discuss with him; the emperor just wanted to give him a woman.

Those who were sent over before either met with accidents or died tragically, but he truly persisted.

“Miss Yun also said that although she really wanted to kill her subordinate, it wasn’t the right time yet!” Mingyi answered truthfully.

"Hahahaha... It's not time for you to come back and inform us, is it? Otherwise, if no one comes back to inform us, A-Qian will continue to send people to assassinate us!" Sang Yu had indeed guessed Yun Juan's thoughts.

She hates trouble. She can handle dealing with one assassination attempt, but if there's an assassination attempt every day and she has to deal with it every day, she'll get annoyed.

"A deal?" Murong Qian didn't know what kind of deal he could make with her, or what she could offer him.

After all, she was just a legitimate daughter of the Yun family from the countryside, and more importantly, an unfavored legitimate daughter of the Yun family.

If she were favored, it would be fine; perhaps Prime Minister Yun would stand on her side. But she is not favored, so it seems she has no value.

Could it be that she...

Murong Qian thought it was unlikely. She was just a child raised on the estate since childhood. The Yun family would never hire a tutor for her, and she probably didn't even know many characters.

"Go, go and check all the information about this eldest daughter of the Yun family, from birth to the present, down to the smallest detail, and have it all checked again." Murong Qian said this to Sang Yu, who had also delivered Yun Juan's information.

"Ah Qian, what are you suspecting?" Sang Yu knew that something must have happened that he couldn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't be investigating a woman again.

He knew better than anyone else that his intelligence network would thoroughly investigate any information submitted, leaving no stone unturned.

Now that he wants to conduct a thorough reinvestigation, there must be something that doesn't make sense to him, something he can't understand himself.

“Things are getting much more interesting! I’d like to go and meet this nominal eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s family!” Murong Qian took out a brush and wrote a cloud on a piece of Xuan paper, then drew a circle.

"Ah Qian, your leg... shouldn't be moving around right now!" Sang Yu couldn't help but remind her.

He knew that Murong Qian was curious about the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, but now was a critical time, and even if he was curious, he couldn't gamble with his life.

The full moon is almost here, so it's even less advisable to leave the palace. Ever since the Emperor bestowed the marriage upon the Regent's Palace, it's practically been surrounded by an iron barrel.

The emperor has sent countless people, both openly and secretly. He's desperate to find something to use against him and kill him.

"You're the head of the secret guards, yet you were injured by a woman." The information in Murong Qian's hand was about Yun Juan, but it didn't show that she knew martial arts.

"Your Highness, Miss Mingyun clearly had no internal energy whatsoever, yet every strike she delivered was deadly. I've never seen anyone wield a dagger with such dexterity. In the end, I was wounded by a hidden weapon and struck by a bone-softening powder!" Mingyi still felt lingering fear as he recalled the fight.

"You mean she could exchange several blows with you without any internal energy?" Sang Yu naturally caught the key point in Ming Yi's words.

In Tianyuan Kingdom, very few people could withstand three moves from Mingyi. This was someone without internal energy who was able to withstand several moves.

This can only mean two things. First, the opponent's martial arts skills are far superior to Mingyi's, resulting in a dimensional attack.

The second possibility is that she doesn't possess internal energy and only knows close-range attacks.

Either way, it suggests that this young girl is no ordinary person, and perhaps something was really missing from the information this time.

Even Sang Yu had some doubts about the authenticity of the information she had.

The records show that she was sent to the village when she was young, and she usually stayed at home embroidering and cooking.

Where can I find any information about her knowing martial arts? She's been hiding it so well.
