Two days later.
When Lu An went to the palace study of the Bianshan Kingdom again, the Queen had been waiting for him for a long time. After seeing Lu An suddenly appear, the Queen was shocked at first, but this time she took the initiative to get up and greet him.
Lu An was able to enter her study silently twice, which was enough to show that the guards outside could not detect the strength of the person in front of them. There were many Level Eight masters in the Ice and Fire Alliance. Maybe the person in front of her was a Level Eight master.
The Queen invited Lu An to take a seat and offered to pour tea for Lu An, but Lu An refused. Lu An asked directly, "What did the Queen find out?"
"Found out!" The Queen immediately nodded and said, "In these two days, I met with many ministers separately. On the surface, I intended to cooperate with these people, but in fact, I wanted them to reveal more information to me. Although I did not ask clearly, I have basically confirmed who the enemy's informant is! "
"Who?" Lu An asked.
"Concubine Di!" The Queen immediately said, "Concubine Di and her son, the Second Prince!"
Lu An was slightly startled. In these two days, he had more or less learned about the forces of the Bianshan Kingdom. The Second Prince was one of the most likely to get the throne. He did not expect that he would collude with the murderer of his father. Obviously, he had no bottom line.
"Because the Second Prince was not favored by the King all year round, plus he was ambitious, he had the motive to cooperate with the enemy." The Queen quickly continued, "When I went to see these two people, their attitudes were completely different from others. Others still want to curry favor with me and ask me to lend them a hand. Only this pair of mother and son didn't say anything. Instead, they look as if they have a card up their sleeve. Even Concubine Di, who was originally very respectful to me, doesn't put me in her eyes now! "
Hearing the Queen's words, Lu An nodded slightly. If he had the support of a Level Eight master, he could indeed be arrogant in the entire Bianshan Kingdom. Since the target was Concubine Di and the Second Prince, he did not need to stay here any longer. He got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing Lu An suddenly get up, the Queen's heart tightened. She quickly got up and asked, "Where is the hero going?"
Lu An turned to look at the Queen and said, "Go and ask."
"How?" said the Queen.
"Arrest them," Lu An said. "Force them to confess."
"This is not the best way!" The Queen quickly said, "I know you're strong and it's easy to catch them, but it's easy to alert them. After all, we don't know how to contact them."
Lu An naturally understood this logic, but if he were to eavesdrop or lurk, who knew how long it would take? Lu An just wanted to know who the enemy was, that was all.
"What does the Queen want?" Lu An asked.
"I'll pretend to surrender!" The Queen immediately said, "I will deceive Di Fei's trust. Di Fei's intelligence is not high, it is not difficult to deceive her. As long as I can enter Di Fei's camp, Di Fei will definitely tell me who the enemy is. Maybe I can even know how to contact the enemy. In this way, I can lure the snake out of its hole, and the Ice and Fire Alliance can catch all the enemies in one fell swoop! "
Catch them all in one go?
Lu An looked at the Queen. After all, she was only the Queen of the Bianshan Kingdom. It was reasonable for her to think so. In Lu An's view, the people who could make a move on Yang Mu were by no means simple. It was impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop.
However, he did not dispel the Queen's enthusiasm. In any case, it was a good thing to get more information. He said, "Well, I'll have to trouble the Queen."
"You're welcome." The Queen quickly said, "I will find out as soon as possible and report to you."

Three days later, in the Palace of the Bianshan Kingdom.
Lu An came to the study again. When the Queen saw Lu An coming, she immediately reported the situation to him.
"I have deceived the other party's trust." The Queen said, "The other party did not suspect me. After all, their forces are strong now. I have enough reason to favor them. But I was very hesitant. In order to let the second prince succeed the throne as soon as possible, Di Fei finally persuaded me. "
"I guessed it right. They have indeed joined forces with the enemy!" The Queen frowned. Her voice was obviously filled with resentment. She said, "The enemy made them their eyes and sent people to help them sweep away the obstacles when necessary. After all, once the second prince succeeds the throne, the Bianshan Kingdom will be really under the enemy's control. It's like putting a spy around the Ice Fire Alliance. They can check the situation of the Ice Fire Alliance at any time. "
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Who is the enemy?"
"…" The Queen was a little bitter. She shook her head and said, "They don't know the origin of the enemy. The enemy has never said his origin from beginning to end. He has not even revealed his name."
Lu An frowned. He did not expect the enemy to be so careful. This made him more sure that the enemy came prepared and was not a good person.
Seeing Lu An frowning, the Queen thought that he was very dissatisfied with the result of her work. She quickly said, "But we have another way!"
Lu An looked at the Queen and asked, "What is it?"
"Lure the snake out of the hole!" The Queen clenched her teeth and said, "I will support the fourth prince. I will rope in the ministers to stand on the fourth prince's side. After all, I am the Queen, and now the person in charge of the court. My words still carry a lot of weight. As long as I stand on the fourth prince's side, the second prince's chances will be greatly reduced. "
"At that time, Di Fei will not sit still. She will think of ways to let the enemy help her kill me." The Queen said, "When the enemy comes, the hero can capture the enemy and directly interrogate them!"
Lu An's eyes slightly narrowed. This was indeed a good idea, except for the danger.
The enemy wanted to attack the Queen, and the Queen was in the palace. If he led people to attack the enemy, it was very likely that the entire King's City would be razed to the ground. How to capture the enemy without making a scene, this was a more difficult problem.
In order to ensure the safety of the Queen, once the Queen took action, the Ice Fire Alliance must send people to guard the palace. This was actually a double-edged sword. The enemy may fall into his trap, but he may also fall into the enemy's trap.
However, this enemy was not an ordinary enemy. It was related to the safety of the women in the family. Lu An could not ignore it. After thinking for a while, Lu An looked at the Queen and said, "Okay, you do it. I will always be in the palace to protect you."
Hearing Lu An's words, the Queen immediately felt relieved. She quickly nodded and said, "Thank you, hero!"

In the next few days, the Ice Fire Alliance's level eight heavenly masters began to take turns to enter the palace to wait for the enemy's arrival. As for Lu An, he was always here, observing the changes in the King's City.
In fact, the Queen's actions were much faster than Lu An imagined. As the Queen, she found the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Ying, and expressed her alliance. Concubine Ying naturally welcomed the Queen's decision. Moreover, the fourth prince was still young, and was not suitable to succeed the throne immediately. The Queen temporarily took charge of the court, appointing the fourth prince as the crown prince. When the fourth prince grew up, he would succeed the throne. This was the best way for both sides.
The next day, the Queen directly expressed her support for Concubine Ying and the fourth prince in the Green Mountain Palace. This made Concubine Di and the second prince angry. She really did not expect the Queen to be so ignorant and dare to oppose her. More importantly, her forces would immediately fall into a disadvantage. In this case, she did not need to be soft-hearted. She immediately contacted the level eight heavenly masters and asked them to clear the obstacles for them.
The enemy was indeed very cautious. They left a transmission array in Concubine Di's palace alone. Concubine Di could find them through it. However, the enemy had also ordered that unless there was a real difficulty, they must not find them. After a long time, Concubine Di returned. The haze on her face was swept away, and she was brimming with confidence.
In the palace, Concubine Di's every move in the palace was clearly perceived by the people of the Ice Fire Alliance, and so was Lu An. It was obvious that Concubine Di had just gone to contact the enemy. The reason why they did not take the opportunity to follow her was that they were not sure about the situation on the other side of the transmission array.
However, judging from Concubine Di's mood, the enemy must have agreed to help and would act soon.
The heavenly masters of the Ice Fire Alliance who were hiding in a palace looked at each other. They all knew that there would be a big battle soon, and everyone was ready to fight at any time.
Everything was ready. They only needed the enemy to act!
