Qiao Chu and the others stared at Lei Chen in surprise. If not for Lei Chen's expressionless face, his eyes numb, they would have thought that Lei Chen was lying to them.
"What's going on? The map is not in Lei Chen's hands? Is what he said true? "Qiao Chu immediately turned to look at Jun Xie.
Jun Xie was silent a moment before she suddenly said: "What he said is true."
She had felt that Lei Chen's reaction was a little strange earlier. He could not have received any training and he should not have any resistance against hypnosis. But when she had asked him about his relationship with the Middle Realm, he had shown obvious signs of struggle. This kind of situation would usually only occur when one had undergone training and the question was of utmost importance to him. But there was another kind of situation as well …..
If the person being questioned did not know the source of the information in question, or had never heard of it, then the person's mind would immediately turn chaotic and he would not be able to answer the question.
Jun Xie had only been guessing before, but now, she was certain.
That map, was not in Lei Chen's hands!
"No wonder Little Black did not find anyone from the Twelve Palaces in the Crown Prince's Residence." Jun Xie mumbled.
"Do you still have that map?"
Lei Chen replied: "I only have that one. I was afraid it would be discovered and I did not dare to keep more."
Jun Xie narrowed her eyes. "How did you get that map?" Although the map was not in Lei Chen's hands, they had received a further piece of information. That was, the map could very possibly be linked to the Fire Country's Emperor, and if that was really the case, the difficulty of getting their hands on the map would be much higher than getting it from Lei Chen.
As the ruler of the mightiest country, the Fire Country's Emperor had never lacked powerful exponents at his side. This was not something that the foolish former Emperor of the Qi Kingdom could compare to.
Lei Chen spoke unhurriedly, his eyes unwavering. "That day, when I went to pay my respects to my Mother, my Fourth Brother was in the Imperial Palace. I did not want to see him and had to avoid him. I wanted to wait for him to leave before I went in. So, I went to the Imperial Palace to take a stroll and I saw my Father's trusted aide handing a letter to a guard. Although I could not hear what they were saying, I saw the strange expressions on their faces. I then secretly followed the man out of the Imperial Palace and killed him when no one was around. I snatched the letter and the map was in the letter."
Lei Chen's voice was calm and steady, but the words that came out of his mouth had already revealed a huge problem.
"Didn't the Fourth Prince and Lei Chen have an extremely good relationship? Why … is Lei Chen not even willing to see him? " Fei Yan rubbed at his chin. Lei Chen's words had directly exposed two problems. One was that Lei Chen's relationship with the Fourth Prince, Lei Fan, was not as brotherly as it seemed to outsiders. And the other thing was even more interesting ….. Lei Chen was actually so concerned about the Emperor's affairs, to the extent that he had not hesitated to kill someone to steal the letter. For a Crown Prince with a stable and stable position, Lei Chen's actions were indeed a little hard to understand.
"Why do I feel that Lei Chen's ascension to the position of Crown Prince is a little different from what we had imagined?" Rong Ruo asked, an eyebrow raised.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Lei Chen. The information that Lei Chen's words had revealed was highly subtle and subtle, which made her involuntarily rethink all the guesses she had previously made in her mind.
"Other than the map, is there anything else in the envelope?"
"No."
"Then why did you send people to the Heaven's End Cliff?"
"I want to know what Imperial Father is looking for there."
