"Calm down your highness" Lory poured a cup of tea for Princess Youya "Think about it thoroughly…" she shoved the teacup gently in front of Princess Youya.

Princess Youya's eyes fixed on the tea surface but her mind immersed in her thought then suddenly she raised her head "The Qin family know about the ancient sword?" she gasped.

Lory broaden her smiles "More than that, they are the last connection of Emperor Lei Yu"

"You mean Qin family was the descendant of King Lei Yu!" Princess Youya got up from her chair, she becomes so excited Lory thought she wanted to jump over the table.

 "We….still not know for sure, perhaps they knew something about King Lei Yu and his ancient sword, however, one thing that I'm sure of that the rumor about the Qin Mu Yi affair and everything was fabricated by Sanguan Jin Sheng and sanguan Liu Wen" Lory expression deepens while princess Youya faces losing her color, she was speechless.

"So, my question is….would you believe a man who able killed his wife and her entire family just for a sword?" 

It feel like someone sucked the air from her lungs Princess Youya suddenly felt she couldn't breathe. How could she don't know Sanguan Jin sheng's character, because their grandmother was biological sisters she had many opportunities to visit the Sanguan Manor. Since she was a child she already could discern the cruelty hide behind Sanguan Jin Sheng gentleman façade, she always felt uncomfortable and restless whenever she met Sanguan Jin Sheng, she never knows if her intuition is right or not until her older brother the crown Prince told her that he also felt the same.

The crown Prince told his uneasiness to have someone like Sanguan Jin sheng as his close subordinate, because of that he never takes any women from the sanguan family to be his rightful wife, because he afraid with sanguan Jin sheng power would reach his chamber.

"Do you have any proof to support your claimed, you know is a very heavy allegation from you?" she needs concrete proof if she wanted to bring this matter to the Crown prince.

"Sure" Lory nodded, she then waves her hands.

Ling Zi then promptly walk towards her "Do you need anything madam?" she bowed her head,

"Tell Mong Yi, I need everything about Sanguan Jin Sheng right now" she gives a direct order.

"Oh, yes – right away young madam!" Ling Zi swiftly runs towards the building to find Mong Yi. A lot of reports were stored inside the study room so it didn't take long for Mong Yi to gather the report, then he gives the report to Lory personally.

Mong Yi handed a pile of papers to Lory "Here it is, young madam, there still other report but it's in Milord possession" 

"It's okay it's enough" Lory nodded in satisfied.

Princess Youya's face turn ashen, so much proof has been gathered in a short time. The crown prince was also tried to dig Sanguan Jin Sheng dirt in the past but because Sanguan Jin sheng is very cautious and the crown prince didn't want to alert him so what she got was only hearsay without actual proof.

She peeks at Mong Yi's countenance, she wondered how strong Long Ming subordinated truly is to able to gather this much evidence. Princess Youya amazed and afraid at the same time, because she realizes that the Hei Shen sect was much stronger than the rumor said, and she doesn't want to provoke this kind of power.

"This is the proof that sanguan jin sheng has used Dong Chen auction house to search the piece of the old map to find the ancient sword, there also written report from Sanguan Jin sheng subordinated about where they found the map" one by one Lory lay down the paper on the table while Princess Youya looks like she would faint.

"And this is the written statement from the former maid who used to serve Qin Mu Yi when she was still Sanguan Jinsheng wife, she testified about Qin Mu Yi innocence and what happened that day after the Qin family slaughtered, actually this is new information for us as well, but with this testimony, we could figure it out what really happened that day"

Princess Youya's hand's trembles when she read to content on the paper, she cover her mouth while her eyes trace every letter on the paper in horror, he cannot believe that someone could be so cruel, she thought the imperial family was cruel but compare to Sanguan Jin Sheng they are paled in comparison.

She put down the paper and let out a long sigh "I need wine…" she said.

"I know you do," Lory cannot be more agree, she waved her hand again.

After reading two more horrendous reports and three cups of wine, Princess Youya finally able to calm herself. She looked at Lory with an amazed expression "I don't know how you made them willing to testify?"

Lory chuckles "Two words, Witness Protection" then she takes a bite of moon cake and say: "Since Hei Shen sect guaranteed their safety and move them somewhere far away from the sanguan family reached, they all agree to testify"

Wrinkles across her forehead as she realizes that means people believed that the Hei Shen sect is more powerful than the Sanguan family, that's why they believe them. She's not sure it would give the same result if the crown prince make the same moves since The imperial family have trouble to oppressed the Sanguan family and everyone could see it.

"I see…" Princess Youya softly muttered, then a second later she peered toward Lory expression "Why Hei Shen pay so much attention to Sanguan family, don't tell me is because Sanguan Li Ye matter or Zi Yu Tong, no one put so much effort for a small 'argument' and based on Long ming temperament he would rather send one of his king palaces or lead them by himself to fought against Sanguan family just like he did to the heavenly jade pavilion and Lu clan…..it wouldn't be like this, this is…personal" 

Lory raised the teacup, behind it the corner of her mouth lift slightly, thankfully the princess is smarter than she thought, it meant her job would be much easier, "It's the old grudge…" Lory lowered her hand.

"Because what happened in Tin Cu island?" Princess Youya frowned.

"Because what happened twenty-five years ago" Lory cuts in.

Princess Youya become more confused "Twenty-five year ago…..the demised of Qin family?" she guessed.

"Yes?" Lory replied shortly.

"What it got to do with the Hei Shen sect?" Princess Youya got impatient.

"Have you heard that Qin Mu Yi's son has returned to Sanguan Manor?" Lory raised her eyebrows.

"No, since when?" princess Youya stunned because she had no idea about this and so was the imperial family.

"Since a few weeks ago?" Lory answer calmly.

"Few weeks?" she exclaimed "Wait, what Qin Mu Yi Son relation with Hei Shen Sect?"

Lory's eyes turn to a crescent then she folded her hair on the table and she leaned forward "He is one of our people…"

Princess Youya stupefied, she subconsciously leaned forward as well "Is he….is he one of the King palace?" she belief Qin Mu Yi son must be on of the King palace otherwise Hei Shen won't spend so much effort to dismantle Sanguan family bad deeds.

"No….he is our Lord" Lory smile.

"Yo – yo – your Lord?" she begins to stutter.

"My husband, Long Ming..." Lory nodded with a big grinned.

It felt like she was hit by a meteor out of nowhere, she could hear a massive explosion inside her head, and everything crumbled, Princess Youya froze, this time she really – really looks pale, and her eyes bulged so widely her eyeball look like it would fall off from it socket, Lory thought the princess had a stroke, she prays that the princess didn't have a stroke or it would make everything more complicated.

"Ehm, your highness?" Lory gently called

"...…"

"Princess Youya?" Lory called again.

"....."

"Your highness, should I called someone?" Lory started to feel worried for her.
