After a while, the female soul in the palace dress returned.
“My body is under the water, right in the middle of the lake. It’s being crushed by a huge rock and tied up by iron chains. It’s very uncomfortable, and I feel like I can’t breathe the moment I get close to it… Save Me… Save Me…” the female soul’s voice was desolate.
“How deep is the water?” Xie Qiao asked softly.
“How deep?” The female soul thought about it in pain, “It’s about seven meters deep…”
Seven meters deep…
Normally, the pool in a home would be about three meters deep, and it was easy to clean up. Seven meters deep, it was comparable to the depth of some large ponds outside.
Xie Qiao raised her head to look at the Crown Prince.
After thinking for a moment, she stood up and walked to her eldest brother’s side. She whispered in Xie Pinggang’s ear, “In a while, if His Highness looks for you, you’ll tell him that in the center of the pool, there is a big rock pressing from the top.”
Xie Pinggang frowned, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t I know Taoism? His Highness asked me to perform divination on him. I’m just telling him that the Zhou family’s pond is beautiful… It’s a good place,” Xie Qiao said guiltily.
Xie Pinggang thought his sister was strange.
She actually performed divination on the Crown Prince?
It was fine if she performed divination, but why could not she not do this somewhere else?! A pond… What if His Highness took it seriously and insisted on rowing a boat in the pond and fell in?!
He glared at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao and Xie Pinggang finished their conversation less than 15 minutes later, and the Crown Prince seemed to be a little bored.
“I feel a little bored,” after saying that, he looked at Xie Pinggang and said, “Minister Xie, accompany me for a walk.”
Xie Pinggang’s face was tense.
He immediately stood up and did as he was told.
The moment Xie Pinggang stood up, the people beside him felt a huge mountain suddenly standing up. That imposing manner was as if a ferocious tiger was about to eat them!
Especially when this mountain moved behind the Crown Prince…
At that moment, the Crown Prince became even more frightening.
Not only did Xie Pinggang’s appearance not make the Crown Prince appear gentle, but it also seemed like… a combination of a fierce and evil spirit. The terrifying appearance doubled!
One was cold, the other fierce, and behind him was a wooden guard who was completely unmoved…
The more they looked at them, the more they made one’s heart tremble.
“Minister Xie, what do you think of this banquet? The Zhou family has invited many people over today. If Minister Xie has any interest in it, I can help you pull some strings,” after exiting the warm room, a cold breeze blew over, but the Crown Prince’s words were much gentler.
Xie Pinggang shook his head, “None of the men deserve my sister.”
The Crown Prince was silent for a moment, then faintly reminded, “Minister Xie and Young Lady Xie are of the same mother.”
“If they can’t even compare to my short-lived timid sister and saw my Father’s behavior after marrying her, they will be shocked and won’t live past daybreak,” Xie Pinggang said disdainfully.
The Crown Prince chuckled.
“Did Young Lady Xie say anything to you earlier?” The Crown Prince asked again.
At the mention of this matter, Xie Pinggang was even more upset. He kept feeling that his sister had a secret with someone else, and he could not understand this secret!
However, in front of the Crown Prince, he had to confess honestly.
“In the middle of the pond, a big rock is pressing down from the top,” Xie Pinggang looked unhappy.
Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes were cold when he heard that. Even Xie Pinggang could feel the sullen mood. He was even more confused now.
The Crown Prince…
Was angry?
Why?
Xie Pinggang felt like his heart was being scratched by a cat. He was confused, curious, and helpless.
“Send a message and surround the Zhou Residence!” The Crown Prince said.
Before coming to the Zhou Residence, he had already asked for an imperial decree and he could search the Zhou Residence at any time. Now that he had received the intel, he naturally had to do it as soon as possible!
