Huai En immediately replied: "Of course not, this old servant is just curious, after all, I've heard quite a few rumors of Xuan Ji in the past."

Dong Fang Hui knew what he meant, and shook his head: "We have our own plans for this matter, there's no need for you to interfere, on the other hand, the investigation of the palace maid should begin as soon as possible."

"This servant understands." When Huai En bowed and agreed, Dong Fang Hui suddenly said: "Go and call Lv Yi over."

Huai En's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and said: "Understood."

Very quickly, a lady dressed in a green gown with a delicate and pretty appearance walked in, converging her sleeves and bowing. "Lv Yi greets Your Majesty."

Dong Fang Hui raised his hand, "No need for formalities."

Huai En tactfully bowed at the side. "This servant will take his leave."

Although he was deeply trusted by Dong Fang Hui and even knew about the matter regarding the Camping, he knew nothing about this woman called "Lv Yi". He only knew that Dong Fang Hui had already been by his side when he was still the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and had followed him continuously for so many years;

After Huai En left, Dong Fang Hui said indifferently: "How is the matter that I told you to do?"

"Everything will be arranged according to what Your Majesty said, but they just entered the various residences, so they will need some time to gather more information if they want to trust us. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive them for that."

Dong Fang Hui nodded, "Can your glazed plant still spare two people?"

Lv Yi thought for a while, "I do have a few people that I can use. May I ask where Your Majesty would like to place them?"

Facing Lv Yi's questioning gaze, Dong Fang Hui slowly spat out three words, "Prince Rui's Palace."

Although Huai En was loyal to him, he was still lacking when compared to Lv Yi, so he preferred to leave some things to Lv Yi.

Lv Yi asked in shock: "Your Majesty thinks that Camping is in your hands?"

Dong Fang Hui said with a grave expression on his face, "We cannot be sure, but the Camping is extremely important, we cannot let go of any possibility. In short, let them investigate as closely as they can, and do not let any clues go."

"This servant understands. This servant will arrange people to enter Prince Rui's Palace to investigate as soon as possible." After agreeing to it, Lv Yi stepped forward and said, "There is a matter that this servant wishes to report to Your Majesty as well."

"What's the matter?"

"One year ago, following the instructions of the Your Majesty, this servant selected a few outstanding looking sisters who were adept at adaptability and sneaked into the Tung Ling to spy on them. In order to prevent their identities from being exposed, I have never dared to contact them, but just yesterday, a horse carriage suddenly came to the Yi Cui Shu, lifted the carriage curtain to take a look, it is the few people that this servant had sent out previously, but … All dead, covered in wounds and bruises, not a single part of their bodies is intact. " Thinking about the dreadful scars on their bodies, Lv Yi couldn't bear it anymore.

Dong Fang Hui who was already looking at the memorial raised his head in shock, "What did you say, they're all dead?"

"Yes, there are many of them." Lv Yi said with a serious face: "This servant has asked the coachman, he was hired to drive the carriage, other than knowing that the person who hired him is a man, he knows nothing. But from his clothes, it seems to be the oriental."

"Tung Ling..." Dong Fang Hui repeated the two words in a low voice, as his heroic brows furrowed together near his forehead, "This is already the second time, right?"

"Yes, the first time it was thrown directly outside the city gate. This time … And the Yi Cui Shu. " Lv Yi said worriedly: "Although the Yi Cui Shu is just the outermost information point, even if it is exposed, it doesn't matter. If this goes on, I'm afraid they will find out about it sooner or later."

After Dong Fang Hui ascended the throne, he had always been gathering information on the various countries. Because he had never obtained the Camping, he could only borrow the glazed plant's power.

In this kind of situation where they knew nothing at all, once the war came in the future, the Northern Week would be at a disadvantage. Unless Dong Fang Hui gave up on the idea of seizing the Tung Ling, but even so, who could guarantee that the Tung Ling would not attack the Northern Week? Therefore, the first person Dong Fang Hui wanted Lv Yi to scout was the Tung Ling.

In the end, they were killed in less than a month and their corpses were thrown outside of the city. The second time they sent someone, Lv Yi was more cautious, he did not contact them for an entire year, but they still died, and this time, even the Yi Cui Shu was exposed.

"They were all personally selected by this servant. I will not easily reveal my identity. This servant suspects …" On Tung Ling's side, there have always been people secretly checking on us. "

Dong Fang Hui said expressionlessly: "Looks like it wasn't wrong for us to view this Tung Ling as our number one threat."

Compared to the Qi that was in public and the West Chu that had clear ambitions, the Tung Ling that had been silent for many years was undoubtedly even more frightening.

"Do you want this servant to choose a few more people to send to Tung Ling?" Although Lv Yi felt pity for his men, the current situation in the Tung Ling was not something he could simply ignore.

Dong Fang Hui thought for a while, then said: "Now that they are prepared, sending them back will just be giving up their lives for nothing. We can talk about it after a while."

Lv Yi replied and asked hesitantly: "Then what about Tung Ling?"

Dong Fang Hui tapped heavily on the purple sandalwood table with his finger, narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you arrange for people to come from the other nations? Then, I will borrow their mouths and spread the news about Tung Ling.

"Yes, this servant will do it right away." Lv Yi understood that Dong Fang Hui wanted to borrow the power of all the countries to peel off the Tung Ling's mysterious cloak.

Other than the few palaces on the main floor, the east and west wings had dozens of palaces on them. They were covered in yellow glazed roof tiles, painted in all kinds of colors, magnificent and noble, exuding a royal aura.

The east wing and the west wing were the residences of the imperial concubines, while the east wing was the residences of the empress dowager and the Grand Consort.

Before the dynasty, when the emperor passed away, the Grand Consort could not continue to stay in the palace except for the empress dowager. Those who had heirs to become kings could live with them, and those who had no heirs could be sent to the imperial temple to pray for the Dazhou, never to step foot into the Zhaoming Palace ever again. Such a rule was undoubtedly cruel to these women who had lived in the Zhaoming Palace for most of their lives without heirs.
