Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 375: Scroll

"Crown Prince! You have finally woken up?" Yan Luan was overjoyed, while the other Palace Attendants attempting to fish in troubled waters or gather intelligence in the bedchamber were dumbfounded, staring blankly for several seconds before collectively kneeling.

The Crown Prince couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them and instead asked, "Where is my second brother? How are Miss Chen and the others?"

Yan Luan looked at a kneeling Palace Maid; she also had her informants, you know.

The Palace Maid felt Yan Luan’s gaze and immediately said, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and Miss Chen are currently in Yangxin Hall. Miss Chen went to the Imperial Kitchen earlier to make chicken soup and brought it to Yangxin Hall. How the situation is now remains unknown."

Before she finished speaking, someone hurriedly entered from outside. Such speed could definitely win a race-walking championship.

Seeing the awake Crown Prince, the arriving Palace Maid was also taken aback. She met Yan Luan’s gaze, immediately knelt, and said, "There’s a fight in Yangxin Hall!"

There were no further details; ever since the Emperor fell ill, only three people served inside Yangxin Hall, which was like an impregnable fortress. To gather information, one had to inquire from outside.

As for now, the commotion in Yangxin Hall was nearly bringing the hall down. Fortunately, this is the Imperial Palace, where the Barrier prohibitions are exceptionally strong—though it only makes the structures sturdy, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to change dynasties.

It’s not that later generations didn’t add more prohibitions, but when the previous people built the Imperial Palace, the workers were all commoners. The prohibitions against prohibitions buried underground couldn’t be compared with other kinds. To change them would mean turning the palace upside down, which equals rebuilding it.

And who can guarantee that in a newly rebuilt palace, those workers won’t place things underground again?

The workers are all commoners, the class that ranks under scholars, farmers, and merchants. Their status isn’t high, so they must leave some way out for themselves or their descendants. Who dares guarantee they won’t encounter a tyrant?

The Crown Prince, upon hearing about the fight in Yangxin Hall, had a pretty good idea. Although he couldn’t say he understood everything about the Emperor’s current condition, he knew some, and the sudden appearance of the eunuch Yu Yan beside the Emperor...

"Where’s Xiao Liuzi? Bring the scroll." The Crown Prince’s voice still carried some weakness.

Xiao Liuzi, squeezed to the edge by other Palace Attendants, immediately got up, his face showing a sense of triumphant satisfaction: "Yes!"

He was the Crown Prince’s devoted little eunuch, and as the Crown Prince’s condition worsened, his own status became increasingly low, but he never gave up his faith in the Crown Prince.

At this moment, wearing even patched-up eunuch clothing, he walked briskly while bumping into the people who squeezed him earlier, heading toward the study.

The other kneeling Palace Attendants sneered inwardly, thinking him a petty man who prospered. The Crown Prince might just be experiencing a brief recovery; he was so happy, but when the time comes, he might not know how to weep... Heh, perhaps after the Crown Prince’s death, he’ll be buried alive to accompany him! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yan Luan was full of confusion and a bit anxious, "Crown Prince, what scroll should be retrieved? How about I go to Yangxin Hall to help the Second Prince?"

The Crown Prince shook his head, "You can’t defeat the eunuch beside Father."

"Just a eunuch, how strong could he be? I could take him down with a punch!"

"From what I know, he is at the Void Refinement Realm."

"I admit I might have spoken a bit loudly just now." Yan Luan lowered his head.

Soon, Xiao Liuzi brought over the scroll. This inconspicuous scroll had accumulated a layer of dust, evidently left in the study, without any attention given.

Even those who stole things to sell didn’t think much of this item.

Yet the Crown Prince carefully received the scroll with both hands.
