Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 204 Zhu Zhuqing Exposed

After joining Shrek Academy, Master Yu Xiaogang began to work on a training plan for the students of Shrek Academy, which officially started after a two-day holiday.

...

After his battle with Tang Hao, Yuan Changqing returned to Blue Silver Village and began to further develop Blue Silver Grass, striving to enrich and improve his ideas about it as soon as possible.

After Zhu Zhuqing got together with Yuan Hailan, she worked hard to cultivate in Lanyin Village. Here, she felt an unprecedented sense of ease, with a good cultivation environment and abundant resources, which she had never dared to imagine or hope for before. Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed this feeling very much.

However, what Zhu Zhuqing didn't know was that after she disappeared, the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family had been searching for her whereabouts.

Since Zhu Zhuqing disappeared, the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family have increased their manpower to search for her, and Soto City is also a key area of ​​focus.

However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't really try to hide her presence; otherwise, she wouldn't have openly followed Ning Rongrong to explore Soto City.

...

Star City.

"Your Majesty, we have news of the second young lady of the Zhu family." After receiving news of Zhu Zhuqing, the intelligence commander immediately reported to Dai Zhen.

Upon hearing this, Dai Zhen said, "Oh, then tell me the specifics."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the intelligence commander replied respectfully. "We inadvertently discovered the Second Miss Zhu while following the Third Prince's men. Moreover, the Second Miss Zhu has also met with the Third Prince, but he doesn't seem to recognize her."

Dai Zhen nodded and said, "They only met when they were engaged as children, so it's normal that the Third Prince doesn't remember them now."

The intelligence commander added, "Your Majesty, there is another situation. Although the Third Prince met with the Second Miss Zhu, the situation has changed. The Second Miss Zhu did not go to see the Third Prince, but was with another man. Their relationship seems to be more than just casual. I think the Second Miss Zhu may have broken her engagement with the Third Prince."

After hearing this, Dai Zhen frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure and asked, "Are you sure the information is accurate?"

The intelligence commander nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the intelligence sent back from Soto City says that the Third Prince was humiliated by the man beside the Second Miss Zhu."

At this moment, Dai Zhen's expression also changed. Judging from this information, Zhu Zhuqing might indeed break her engagement with Dai Mubai. If that were the case, the situation would be quite complicated.

Moreover, if the situation is true, either the other party is fearless and powerful, and is not afraid of retaliation from the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu family.

Either they felt that the Star Luo Empire's power was not yet capable of extending its reach on a large scale, or that the other side itself was confident in its own strength.

However, regardless of the reason, this is a provocation against the dignity of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. If it is not handled properly, it will become a scandal for the royal family if it gets out!

Then, Dai Zhen said, "Use all the resources available in Soto City to find out the details of the other side as soon as possible, and report back immediately once you have any information."

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately." The intelligence commander quickly replied, noticing the fleeting anger in Dai Zhen's eyes.

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

After the intelligence commander left, Dai Zhen pondered for a while, then called out, "Someone come here."

Then, a guard in armor entered and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Looking at the guard, Dai Zhen said, "You must leave the palace immediately and go to the Duke of the Netherworld Cat's mansion to summon the Duke of the Netherworld Cat to the palace at once."

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately."

...

The Zhu family of Xingluo City.

"My lord, our men have found traces of the Second Miss," the man in black reported to Duke Lingmao.

"Oh! Tell me quickly." Duke Lingmao urged the man in black to speak immediately after hearing that Zhu Zhuqing had news.

"Yes." The man in black hurriedly replied, "Sir, the situation has changed a bit. After arriving in Soto City, the Second Miss did not go to see the Third Prince at all. Moreover, she has a very close relationship with a young man. Therefore, I think that the Second Miss may have found a backer and no longer wants to fulfill her marriage agreement with the Third Prince."

Duke Lingmao was also startled upon hearing this. Logically speaking, Zhu Zhuqing should have known about the power of his own family and the strength of the royal Dai family, so it was impossible for her to make an unwise decision.

So now that Zhu Zhuqing has found a powerful backer, the Zhu family will have a hard time explaining themselves to the royal family.

Duke Lingmao then asked, "Is the information true? Also, have you found out what kind of organization the other party belongs to?"

The man in black replied, "The intelligence shouldn't be too wrong. As for who the other party is, our people haven't found out yet. According to the reports, we also discovered that the man with the Second Miss is very powerful, and our people dare not get too close for fear of being discovered."

"Moreover, not only that, we also discovered two other groups of people nearby. One of them we think might be members of the royal family, but it's still unclear whether the other group is secretly protecting them."

Duke Lingmao nodded and said, "Continue your investigation and find out their origins as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

Just after Duke Lingmao finished listening to his subordinates' report on Zhu Zhuqing, a servant came to report that someone from the palace had come to convey the emperor's decree.

Then, Duke Lingmao met the armored guard in the reception room of the Duke's mansion.

Duke Lingmao asked, "I wonder if His Majesty has sent you here to convey some message?"

"Your Grace, His Majesty has only summoned you to the palace immediately. As for what it is about, that is beyond my knowledge," the armored guard replied respectfully.

Duke Spirit Cat nodded and said, "In that case, let's set off!"

...

Starry Palace.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Duke Lingmao greeted Dai Zhen.

Dai Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, Duke, let's sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing in thanks, Duke Lingmao, having just sat down, asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask what brings you to my court?"

Dai Zhen nodded and said, "Indeed, something is wrong. The Duke should know about the engagement between the Third Prince and your second daughter, right?"

Upon hearing Dai Zhen's question, Duke Lingmao thought to himself, "It's here. It really is about this matter. It seems that the royal family has already learned about Zhu Zhuqing's situation."

However, Duke Lingmao still asked without revealing his true feelings, "Yes, Your Majesty, but the Third Prince has been gone from Xingluo City for several years now, and my daughter also left a few days ago. I suppose she went to look for the Third Prince. I just don't know if she has found him or not. Does Your Majesty have any news about them?"

Although Duke Lingmao spoke rather cryptically and did not directly name Dai Mubai as a good-for-nothing, Dai Zhen could still sense Duke Lingmao's dissatisfaction with Dai Mubai.

Dai Zhen glanced at Duke Lingmao but didn't point it out, after all, Dai Mubai was indeed somewhat useless.

Then Dai Zhen added, "Is that so? It seems the Duke's intelligence is somewhat outdated. I have some intelligence here that the Duke may take a look at."

After Duke Lingmao received the intelligence, he carefully examined its contents and found that it was indeed very similar to the intelligence he had obtained.

After reading the intelligence report, Duke Lingmao feigned great alarm and said, "Your Majesty, is what this says true? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from our Star Luo Empire?"

Seeing the Duke of Lingmao's surprised expression, Dai Zhen didn't care whether he really didn't know or not, and nodded, "That's right, it's true. I summoned you to the palace this time for this matter, to see if there's a solution. After all, only through continued marriage alliances can our two families guarantee our rule over the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Zhen's words were clearly a reminder to Duke Lingmao that Zhu Zhuqing's matter concerned the status and reputation of both families in the Star Luo Empire, and that Duke Lingmao's mansion should also contribute to this matter.

Duke Lingmao naturally understood the meaning behind it, since the Netherworld Cat family, strictly speaking, was still a family that was dependent on the royal family.

Duke Lingmao then asked, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
