There is a large lake in the East Palace.

The original East Palace did not have an Inner Lake, but after the current crown prince was enthroned, the court expanded the East Palace and dug a lake.

Most people may only think that this is to add to the scenery of the Eastern Palace, but some of the top wealthy families in the royal capital know that the Neihu of the Eastern Palace was built for the ability of the prince.

The prince's ability is to control water, which is a secret for the people.

After all, the prince is the crown prince. If he wants to ascend to the throne in the future, his ability to be extraordinary cannot be promoted to the outside world. Some of the extraordinary methods are mutually rebellious. If the prince's ability is known by evil people, it is easy to design assassination against his ability.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Although the court always keeps the ability of the prince secret, it is not a secret in the eyes of the top powerful people in Daxia.

The weather is clear today, and the clouds are still windless. However, the inner lake of the East Palace is surging, and a water dragon hovers out of the lake, smashing a stone tablet by the lake to pieces.

If this force falls on a person, ordinary people will have their bones broken in an instant, and there is no possibility of survival.

This is the power of the heavenly rank extraordinary art.

A short figure emerged from the lake, stepped on the lake surface, and walked to the grass by the lake. His clothes and soles were not wet at all, and there was no trace of water.

Another middle-aged man walked up and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince, your strength has improved a little bit. You are about to step into the ground level."

The prince waved his hand and said, "I know the talent of my palace. I have spent so many crystals to barely reach the upper level of the Xuan level. It is still far from the Earth level. I can't compare with the Zhao family..."

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart. The prince really didn't know what he said. Looking at the entire continent, the talent of the Zhao family is also top-notch. Even the genius of the Tianzi Academy of the Alien Arts Academy has an insurmountable gap with her, let alone the prince with mediocre talent...

He shouldn't have the idea of ​​comparing with the Zhao family.

After ending today's extraordinary practice, the prince left the lake and came to a palace to start handling government affairs.

There are actually not many government affairs that he needs to deal with. Most of the political affairs are handled by the Twenty-Fourth Division themselves. Some important things will be discussed in the court, and those that are not very important and not urgent will be left to him to practice.

Even so, he read the memorials very seriously, and these are his experiences in the future.

A beautiful bird stood on the tree outside the window, making crisp cry from time to time. The prince, who was commending to review the memorials, did not pay attention.

At one moment, an old man with white hair and beards walked to the gate of the hall. When he saw the prince who was dealing with the memorial carefully, he stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Just as his back disappeared, the prince paused his movements after reading the memorial, then threw the memorial aside, and whispered: "How is that thing done?"

A eunuch who had been standing next to the pillar walked forward and said respectfully: "Go back to Your Highness, I have been dealt with."

The prince gently tapped the table with his index finger and murmured: "The farthest one has been dealt with, but the close one has been shaking in front of my eyes. There was only one before, but now there is one more..."

The eunuch looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, he has the personal protection of the Secret Investigation Department around him, and he can't find a chance to start. As for the other one, her strength is too strong. Without the strength of the upper level of the Earth, I'm afraid that he will not be able to complete the task, and no assassin dares to take her mission..."

The prince picked up a memorial again and said slowly: "Don't worry, I have some patience and will always find opportunities..."

...

Lin Mansion.

It's late at night.

Lin Xiu is not asleep yet.

He sat on the desk in front of the window. The window was open. I don’t know how long it took, a black shadow suddenly passed by in the night sky, flew in from outside the window, and landed on his desk.

It was the blue-crowned parakeet he had tamed.

At the birthday party of the Empress Dowager, the look he looked at the prince, and some things he saw from the prince's eyes made Lin Xiu's suspicion of him and also made him the first investigative target of Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu sprinkled a handful of rice grains on the table. The parrot was chirping while pecking at the same time.

It stayed in the East Palace all day and kept helping Lin Xiu pay attention to the prince.

Of course, this parrot had never seen the prince. It took Lin Xiu two days to teach it the route to the Eastern Palace and how to find the prince among the people in the Eastern Palace.

It monitored the prince for one day today and came back to report to Lin Xiu in the evening.

The IQ of a bird like parrot is considered high among animals. It can clearly describe everything it sees today in bird language.

The prince is indeed a water control ability, and he also practices martial arts. The royal family is very strict in the education of the prince, not to mention that the prince, the future king, the resources he enjoys on the road of cultivation, may not even compare with the geniuses of the Age of Skills, such as Lingyin.

In addition to dealing with political affairs, the prince's day was to practice extraordinary skills, martial arts, and eat and sleep.

There seemed to be nothing special. Lin Xiu looked at the parrot and sent a voice message: "What did he say?"

The parrot pecked a few more grains of rice and said in a very strange tone: "Yuanjing, Xuanjie, is far from it..."

Lin Xiu did not use the thrush, but spent time taming the parrot. This is the reason why the thrush can also help Lin Xiu monitor the target, but it cannot understand human words.

Parrots also don’t understand human words, but they can imitate them. Although their pronunciation is not very standard, it does not affect the transmission of information.

There is not much information revealed by these words. Lin Xiu could probably guess that the prince's cultivation level is at the upper level of Xuanxing, just like Lingyin and Princess Minghe. However, he is older and the resources he enjoys are not comparable to Lingyin and Minghe. He is still only awakening four times, which shows that his talent for extraordinary arts is not very good.

Of course, as the future emperor, he does not require any talent for cultivation. When I do not have the ability to do magic skills today, this does not affect his becoming the leader of a country. Many magic skills and martial arts powerhouses must serve him.

Lin Xiu looked at the parrot and continued to ask, "Is there any?"

The parrot paused for a long time, as if he was recalling it, and then said: "One, another one..."

"One, another one..."

Lin Xiu looked suspicious and did not understand the meaning of these two words. The parrot was not a human being. It could not understand the prince's words, so it could only repeat the words in two or three words intermittently for Lin Xiu.

Perhaps it was because it imitated wrongly, or perhaps these two words had no meaning at all.

At this time, the parrot was still saying in a strange tone: "Crypto, protect, can't find it, you can't find it, you can get the opportunity..."

When Lin Xiu heard the two words "secret investigation and protection", he condensed his eyes.

It's indeed the prince.

These words are not difficult to understand.

He was protected by secret detectives, and the assassin could not find a chance.

At this moment, the parrot continued to say: "One, too strong, no, assassin..., I, patience, opportunity..."

Lin Xiu seemed to understand something and murmured: "One, another one..."

Combining these words, the two inexplicable words above are not difficult to understand.

Obviously, there were more than one targets that the prince wanted to assassinate, and Lin Xiu was just one of them. He had secret detectives around him, so the prince could not arrange for anyone to attack. His other target was too strong and no assassin dared to take it...

Also, the prince did not give up attacking them, he was still looking for an opportunity...

It has come to this point, and it is clear who is behind the two assassinations.

What Lin Xiu couldn't understand was that since the prince wanted to kill him, why didn't he take action before, but he had assassinated twice in the past few months...

And who would be the other person the prince wanted to kill?

What does "one, another one" mean? The meaning of this sentence is that Lin Xiu was not in the prince's assassination target before. He had only had this idea recently. In other words, he wanted to kill Lin Xiu, not because of his engagement with Zhao Lingjun...

After all, that engagement was found before Lin Xiu was born.

This seems to explain Lin Xiu's first doubt, why the prince has not taken action in the past so many years, because that engagement was not the reason for him to assassinate Lin Xiu.

Then there is only the second possibility.

Could it be that it is because his ability is water and Lin Xiu's ability is ice. He was determined to kill him because of his ability being restrained by Lin Xiu, right?

Lin Xiu had never thought about this possibility, but how crazy a person would have to do such a thing, because of such a ridiculous reason, he wanted to kill others?

However, based on this possibility, Lin Xiu found that everything could be explained.

Lin Xiu was assassinated for the first time, as if a few days after his ability awakened.

He was assassinated twice not because of his engagement with the Zhao family, but because of his ability to awaken - from the very beginning, he misdirected the direction of the investigation.

Not only him, but everyone got it wrong.

Looking back now, the top wealthy families in the capital are all experts who play with power. It is impossible not to know that His Majesty would never marry Zhao Lingjun to them no matter what. Even if Lin Xiu died, it would not be their turn.

One, another one.

If the prince wanted to kill him because of this reason, then this sentence would not be difficult to understand.

There are only two people in the entire capital who possess the Ice Agent Art.

One is Lin Xiu and the other is Lingyin.

...

The next morning, Zhao Lingyin came to Lin's mansion, and she came to find Lin Xiu to practice.

Although she had convinced the dean to let Lin Xiu share the cultivation resources with her, without her taking Lin Xiu, he would not be able to enter the Tianzi Academy alone.

Lin Xiu didn't sleep well last night. On the way to the Agent Art Academy, he seemed to ask unintentionally: "Lingyin, have you ever encountered assassination or something like that before..."

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and asked, "What are you asking about this?"

Lin Xiu said: "I just suddenly remembered and asked casually."

Zhao Lingyin said: "I have had it a few times when I was a child, but it gradually became less and less..."

Lin Xiu's expression was calm, but his heart was not calm.

Just because of the restraint of the supernatural ability, people will be killed. This is a pervert, a pervert with extremely distorted psychology. What is even more terrifying is that such a person is the crown prince of one of the five major dynasties in the mainland and the future emperor of Daxia...
