The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Lu Shian replied: “It should be the night three days ago when someone spotted a man in black appearing in the palace.

"That man's Qinggong was extremely strong. Qin Chong and the Imperial Guards were unable to catch him. He easily climbed over the palace wall that was more than ten meters high.

"The next day, when I was reviewing the memorials, I discovered that the imperial seal was missing from the imperial study."

Even Qin Chong couldn't be caught? Lu Xiuyuan's brows were knitted so tightly that water could drip out.

He knew Qin Chong's abilities. His lightness skills were not inferior to his. Yet someone managed to escape from him without even fighting.

"Have you checked?" he asked. Lu Shian should have had someone check what happened three days ago.

Lu Shian nodded, "Well, I asked Qin Chong to investigate immediately after the incident. Qin Chong said that there are only a few people in the world who have such profound Qinggong, so he must be famous.

"So he used this as a breakthrough point for his investigation and eventually locked onto Chen Yi."

"Chen Yi? The sprinting Chen Yi?" Lu Xiuyuan exclaimed.

He had heard of the name of Chen Yi, a man of the underworld. Because of his excellent lightness skills, he was nicknamed "Flying Legs".

Legend has it that his martial arts skills were mediocre, but his Qinggong was invincible, and he could fly over eaves and walls as if walking on flat ground. So far, no one has been able to surpass him in Qinggong.

If it were him, it would be understandable that he could sneak into the palace at night to steal the imperial seal and climb over the palace wall as if it were child's play.

Lu Shian sighed, "It's most likely him. After I suspected him, I asked the Ministry of Revenue to find out where he lived, and then sent a pigeon to the prefect of Liuyue City where he lived. Sure enough, I found out that he left Liuyue City half a month ago.

"According to the time, I just arrived in the capital recently."

Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and asked depressedly: "Why? Although Chen Yi is not a righteous person, I have never heard of him doing evil things. How could he steal the jade seal for no reason?"

"I suspect... he was instructed by someone." Lu Shi'an expressed his guess.

Lu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement. The loss of the imperial seal was a matter of great importance. It was said that the loss of the imperial seal meant the end of the country.

Once this news gets out, at best the people will be destabilized and the situation will be turbulent, or at worst the border war will go awry, which will affect the rise and fall of the country.

Someone must have wanted to see this result and instructed Chen Yi to steal the jade seal in order to harm Lingjiang State.

"Who could be harboring evil intentions?" Xia Younan asked in confusion.

Lu Xiuyuan snorted coldly and said in annoyance, "Who else could it be? Those who are eyeing our Lingjiang Kingdom are most likely people from Zhujing Kingdom."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Shian and asked again: "It's been so long, haven't Ye Beimo and the others caught him yet?"

Lu Shian sighed deeply and shook his head, "No, I have turned the capital upside down these days, but still found nothing. I guess they have quietly slipped out of the capital at some point."

What a pity! If Ye Beimo could be captured, it would deal a heavy blow to Zhujing Kingdom.

Lu Xiuyuan also became melancholy, thinking that if they slipped away at some point, then the matter of the jade seal was most likely caused by them.

"Have you found out where Chen Yi went after stealing the imperial seal?" Xia Younan interrupted.

Lu Shian replied: "The prefect of Liuyue City wrote back saying that Chen Yi had not left the city for several years before the incident, so I guess if he was hired, he should be in Liuyue City.

"Therefore, he is very likely to have taken the imperial seal back to Liuyue City to report."

"Since you know where he is, why don't you send someone to look for him immediately?" Lu Xiuyuan urged unhappily.

Lu Shian coughed lightly, "I'm sending you here. The loss of the imperial seal is a serious matter. You must not let it get out. I don't trust others!"

"..." Lu Xiuyuan was speechless. Is there something wrong with this person's brain? He doesn't trust others, but he trusts him?

He knew clearly that he was restless, yet he still dared to ask him to find the imperial seal. Wasn't he afraid that he would use it to seize his throne after finding it?

It’s not that Lu Shian didn’t think about this, it’s just... he just doesn’t care.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Lu Shian simply started to cheat and asked seriously, "Is the jade seal something from the Lu family?"

Lu Xiuyuan sweated, "Yes."

"Is your last name Lu?"

"..."

"If you don't look for your lost things, who else do you want to look for them?"

"..." Lu Xiuyuan was completely speechless by what he said. On the surface, what he said made sense, but why did he always feel that something was wrong?

"Puchi..." Xia Younan was amused by their conversation.

I sighed in my heart that blood is thicker than water. The two people are obviously opposites, but one relies on the other for everything, and the other never refuses the other's request for help. They really seem like two brothers from an ordinary family.

Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan was reluctant to nod, Lu Shian put on his kingly airs again, slammed the table, and said in a commanding tone: "It's settled, hurry up and get the jade seal back.

"Without the imperial seal, I dare not even attend the morning court, I cannot write an imperial edict, and I cannot approve memorials!"

Lu Xiuyuan wanted to beat him up, secretly cursing this bastard for losing the imperial seal himself and still being so arrogant.

Xia Younan couldn't help but shook her head and persuaded Lu Xiuyuan, "My husband, go ahead. This is a serious matter. As the prince of Lingjiang, you should help the country. I will go with you."

"Look, look." Lu Shian gave Xia Younan a thumbs up with admiration, and angrily criticized Lu Xiuyuan, "Look at how conscious she is. You are not as sensible as a woman. I give you so much salary every year for nothing."

Lu Xiuyuan's face was filled with black lines. He had no choice but to succumb to his tyranny. He nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "I'll go!"

Alas, what can he do? No matter what, he didn't want to see the consequences of losing the imperial seal.

Seeing him nod, Lu Shian's eyes lit up, his mouth stretched to his ears, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness can take the initiative to volunteer to help you solve your worries, I am deeply relieved!"

"Volunteering? Damn it..." If Xia Younan hadn't covered Lu Xiuyuan's mouth in time, he would have really burst out swearing.

Lu Shian pretended not to hear and said earnestly: "Once the news of the jade seal gets out, you know what the consequences will be even if I don't tell you, so you must keep it secret. The fewer people who don't need to know, the better."

After saying that, he stood up, patted his wrinkled clothes, and said comfortably: "You can leave immediately. I will go back to the palace first. I have an appointment with the queen to watch a play in the afternoon."

“You…” Lu Xiuyuan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. This bastard, he had even lost the imperial seal and he was still in the mood to watch the show?

After explaining the situation, Lu Shian seemed to have successfully shirked the blame, and left happily humming a little tune.

It took Lu Xiuyuan a while to recover. He patted his chest which was rising and falling violently, and complained to his wife in a wronged manner: "Tell me, how did I end up with such an emperor?

"Every time he poops, he asks me to clean his butt, and he always has some high-sounding reasons."

Xia Younan chuckled with joy and teased, "Who made you his brother? He can't rely on anyone else except you."

"He knows very well that I have evil intentions towards his throne." Lu Xiuyuan was angry and confused.

Xia Younan shrugged, "He also knows that you won't watch your country in trouble."

Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and sighed to the sky: "What a sin!"
