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

Su Yu quickly took out a large wooden box, put it on the table, and reached out to open it.

"Princess, I have checked everything in here one by one. There is nothing suspicious, otherwise I would not have accepted it."

Xia Younan didn't say anything. He stood up and took out the things in the box one by one.

Those eyes were like a hunting hawk, carefully inspecting every item, fearing to miss any mistake.

Jade cabbage, night pearl, red agate, and green ruyi are all rare treasures.

Xia Younan used his hands and eyes, touched and checked, but found nothing wrong.

Weird, no problem? This is unscientific. Lu Shian can't have changed his gender.

"Madam, you have one more." Lu Xiuyuan took out the last item from the bottom of the box and handed it to Xia Younan.

It seemed to be a piece of parchment paper, yellow, soft and bouncy. It was about one meter long and 60 centimeters wide, and when it was unfolded it would just cover the entire tabletop.

There is a landscape painting on this paper.

In the layers of mist, there are several mountains of different distances and heights. The stream at the foot of the mountain is clear. The vague figures are accompanied by the mountains and rivers, exuding a sense of elegance. It is indeed a well-crafted painting.

What does this painting mean? It is not signed, so it is probably not the work of a famous artist.

If it is not a famous painting, why would it be placed together with other treasures such as the Night Pearl? It doesn't match.

Xia Younan subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with the painting, but after looking at the front and back of the parchment, he did not find anything suspicious.

Shaking her head, she checked everything again, even the box itself. But everything was normal, not at all like she had expected.

Could it be... that I was overthinking it? Was Lu Shian really celebrating his brother's birthday?

Impossible. She would never forget the determined look in Lu Shian's eyes towards her. He would never give up on her.

"How could this happen? How could there be no problem at all?" Xia Younan muttered depressedly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, raised his hand and drank it.

"The boss!"

Zhu Li's thunderous voice suddenly exploded in his ears. Xia Younan was deep in thought when he was startled by the voice. He coughed out the tea in his mouth that he had not yet swallowed, and it splashed onto the parchment in front of him...

After stroking his frightened heart, Xia Younan turned his head to look at Zhu Li with a dark face, glaring at him with gritted teeth, "Are you going to die? Are you trying to scare me to death by shouting like that all of a sudden?"

Zhu Li scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Hehe, I'm sorry, Boss, I'm used to having a loud voice. I will change in the future, and I will be gentle when talking to you next time."

Xia Younan rolled his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"It's nothing. I'm just bored. I came to see what you were doing and if you need any help." Zhu Li still smiled foolishly.

Xia Younan chuckled and kicked the stool at his feet to him. "It's rare that the Second In Command is so thoughtful. Sit down and help me see if there is anything strange about these gifts. If not, you can take any one you like."

Zhu Li sat down obediently, "Hey, thank you, Boss."

Xia Younan turned her gaze back to the various treasures in front of her, and with an inadvertent glance, her eyes fixed on the parchment on the table.

There was a wet spot on the lower right corner of the parchment, which must be the tea that I accidentally sprayed on it just now.

What was surprising was that a faint line appeared in the wet area.

Xia Younan rubbed his eyes, looked at the place carefully, and rubbed it with his fingers to make sure that there was indeed an extra line.

The line was in the blank space of the landscape painting and was clearly not there just now. It only appeared after being wetted by tea.

Changes when in contact with water!

There is something fishy about this painting!

Xia Younan was overjoyed and immediately ordered, "Bei Jin, quickly get me a basin of clean water."

"Yes." Bei Jin ran out quickly.

A basin of water was quickly brought to the table. Xia Younan picked up the landscape painting and, in front of everyone's surprised gazes, immersed the entire piece of paper in the water...

After the parchment was fully soaked with water, she carefully took it out of the basin and spread it on the table again.

Soon, several pairs of eyes around widened their eyes and opened their mouths slightly, unable to believe what they saw.

I saw that the original landscape painting on the large piece of parchment disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had never appeared.

Then, a densely packed map-like thing covered the entire parchment.

The "map" was drawn extremely clearly, and all the routes, houses, streams, rivers, etc. could be seen. Some places were even marked with red ink.

The line just now represents one of the paths.

There is indeed a problem! Xia Younan's face was full of anger.

This Lu Shian is so cunning that he can actually think of using such despicable means!

The reason why so many treasures were sent was just to cover up this parchment. The surface of the parchment was an ordinary landscape painting, but the inside was full of mysteries.

What on earth does he want to do?

"What is this picture? Su Yu, do you know?" Xia Younan handed the parchment to Su Yu.

Su Yu took the parchment and looked at it carefully. His expression quickly turned ugly and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth, "City Defense Map!"

Lu Xiuyuan's expression also changed, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking that Lu Shian was really quick to act and wanted to kill him so quickly.

Seeing his grim expression, Xia Younan asked in confusion: "Su Yu, what is this city defense map? Why do you look like something bad is going to happen?"

Su Yu was so angry that his face turned red. He threw the parchment scroll on the table and said angrily, "Top secret, about the defense information of the entire capital.

"The exact location of the city gates, the height of the city walls, the number of guards at each location, and the routes leading to the palace, even the guards' strength and shift changes were all recorded clearly."

"This map is like a 'key' to crack the defenses of the capital. If this map falls into the hands of the enemy, they can enter the capital unimpeded and break into the palace!"

Xia Younan's face turned pale, and he shook his head in disbelief, "Why would Lu Shian send this kind of thing to our palace in this way?"

Su Yu looked at her and replied coldly: "Princess, there is only one reason why you secretly kept the city defense map."

Xia Younan clenched her fists, sat back on the stool dejectedly, closed her eyes and sighed: "Rebellion."

"That's right!" Su Yu punched the solid pillar, "He wants to kill the prince!"

Lu Shian! Xia Younan was so angry that his chest was panting heavily.

She guessed that he would not give up, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel and secretly send this deadly map to kill her brother!

But fortunately, she was frightened by Zhu Li's shout and vomited on the map. Otherwise, if the secret of the parchment was discovered by others, the consequences would be unimaginable!
