Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Nearly Exposed

Prince Residence.

"Didn’t they say the security at the Prince Residence was very tight? How come I feel it’s not that formidable after all?"

Little Tuanzi Chu Junxi, accompanied by the guard Wuming, had climbed over the wall. He murmured softly to himself.

"Young master, you must not underestimate the enemy." Hearing his words, Wuming by his side immediately spoke up to remind him.

The little Tuanzi realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He quickly covered his mouth, then lowered his voice to ask, "Brother Wuming, do you know where Prince Yan Lin might hide the National Treasury Key?"

Based on his observations of the treasury that night, in order not to startle the snake, it was still necessary to find the key.

Clearly, they had also discovered that Yan Lin possessed the National Treasury Key.

But what they didn’t know was that they were already one step behind; Chu Baihan had already taken the key.

"As long as I get the key and take the Snow Ganoderma from the treasury, mother doesn’t have to work so hard anymore," Little Tuanzi clenched his fist and muttered under his breath.

It was said that Snow Ganoderma blooms only once every hundred years.

When the Snow Ganoderma last bloomed, the people of the Imperial Family from both Nanduan Kingdom and Yan Country overcame numerous difficulties and finally reached the snowy mountain, only one step away from obtaining the Snow Ganoderma.

As they were all exhausted, the Great General of Nanduan Kingdom proposed that the people from both countries take half of the Snow Ganoderma each.

The people from Yan Country agreed at the time...

However, when the Great General of Nanduan Kingdom led his people to collect the Snow Ganoderma, Yan Country launched a surprise attack.

As a result, Nanduan Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, while Yan Country took the Snow Ganoderma and left in triumph.

If Nanduan Kingdom had been stronger at that time, how could they have swallowed such an insult?

What they were doing now, though it seemed like theft, was actually reclaiming what belonged to them.

"If not for my illness being so urgent, mother would surely have been able to lead her troops to capture more of Yan Country’s towers, forcing Yan Country to pay a heavier price," Little Tuanzi said as he rubbed his fingers, looking very upset.

Seeing this, Wuming hurriedly comforted him, "Continuing the war would also lead to further loss of life. Young master, you must not blame yourself for everything."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s hurry and find the key," Little Tuanzi said, looking up to see that dawn was approaching and his expression instantly turned serious.

Most people would keep their valuables in their study.

So, they decided to try their luck at the study.

But before they could reach the study, they stopped on the way...

Not far from them, a little girl was throwing a tantrum.

"Didn’t father say he would come back and be with me tonight? How come it’s almost dawn, and he still hasn’t returned!" Yan Jingjing stamped her foot, her little face flushed with anger, her eyes visibly tired, yet she was unwilling to go to sleep.

"Miss, perhaps the Prince has some urgent matters to attend to?" a maidservant beside her whispered in an attempt to soothe her.

But this only made Yan Jingjing even unhappier.

"What urgent matters could be more important than me?" she demanded, arms folded and pouting angrily.

The maidservants looked at each other, unsure of how to console her.

"I heard father has been visiting the Princess Residence frequently. He wouldn’t be planning to marry that woman, would he?" Yan Jingjing frowned worryingly.

"Miss, rest assured, the Prince surely cares more about Madam in his heart. His visits to the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom might just be for appearances. Besides, isn’t that Princess now incapacitated? The marriage alliance is probably hopeless," the maidservant hurriedly continued to console her.

Hearing this, Yan Jingjing finally felt more at ease in her heart.

She pouted and said proudly, "Father can only belong to my mother, and that Princess better not try to snatch him away!"

Chu Junxi, hiding behind the rockery, was stunned upon hearing these words.

He looked up, his eyes blank as he stared at Wuji.

"Brother Wuji, is she calling Yan Lin ’father’?" he asked in a muffled voice.

Wuji frowned, his expression also very grave.

He hadn’t expected that scoundrel Yan Lin to have found another woman, let alone to have fathered a child.

Such a man deserved to die!

Wuji almost wished he could take their Tianye men and personally kill Yan Lin!

"Brother Wuji, don’t be angry, such a person is not worth us ruining our health over," Chu Junxi said gravely, tugging at Wuji’s sleeve.

His chubby face turned stern, his eyes so cold they seemed not to belong to a five-year-old child. If it weren’t for the fact that he was currently in disguise, Wuji might even suspect that he was standing in front of Yan Lin.

"Let’s go, to the study."

Chu Junxi didn’t look back and signaled Wuming to take him to the study.

Fortunately, Wuming had studied the layout of the Prince Residence, so he knew exactly where the study was,

and they quickly arrived there.

There were indeed Hidden Guards lurking, but they carefully avoided them all.

They pried open a window and climbed inside.

"Search," Chu Junxi said, heading straight to the shelves to start rummaging.

But after a long time, they found nothing related to the key.

"Young master, this..." Wuming turned away, his voice tinged with depression.

Hearing this tone, Little Baozi quickly turned around and saw him holding a painting.

It was a portrait of his mother.

"Why would there be a portrait of the Princess in Yan Lin’s study?" Wuming said gruffly.

He and all the men of Tianye were loyal to the Princess, and they were, of course, aware of Yan Lin’s past deeds, so they held no affection for him.

Now, seeing the portrait of their Princess hung in the residence of Yan Lin, they felt it was an insult.

How could their most revered Princess’s image be tarnished by hanging in such a filthy place as the Prince Residence?

That’s what Wuming thought, and Chu Junxi felt the same way.

He strode over and ripped the paintings with his hands.

Afterward, he dusted off his hands and spoke with satisfaction, "Mother’s portrait should not be in a place like this."

Wuming nodded in agreement, then said seriously, "Young master, I have searched this place thoroughly just now, but I have not found the key. Have you found anything?"

"No, perhaps he didn’t place the key in the study at all," Chu Junxi frowned and said in a low voice.

"It’s nearly dawn, we need to withdraw quickly," Wuming said, glancing outside with a serious tone.

The pair exchanged a look and then hurriedly climbed back out of the window.

The window was quite high, but it was a piece of cake for a certain Chu Little Tuanzi, who climbed out with ease.

Just as they were retracing their steps, intending to leave the Prince Residence, Yan Lin unexpectedly returned.

From a distance, they recognized the tall figure and the entourage of guards with him. Both Chu Junxi’s and Wuming’s hearts sank.

They had managed to infiltrate so easily earlier, likely because Yan Lin had taken most of his skilled men out of the residence when he left...

Now that he had returned, leaving unnoticed would be difficult.

They frowned, looking to retreat along another path, but the patrolling guards of the Prince Residence were just coming from that direction.

Now, they were completely trapped with nowhere to go.
