CHAPTER 709: CHAPTER 576: ANOTHER "HIM

The moon was dark and the wind high, in a certain part of the Beiqing Imperial Palace where the lights flickered, unlike the cheerful song and dance in Chuyun Palace, this place before her eyes was exactly Emperor Beiqing QingShuang’s bedchamber.

A large and a small figure, no, along with a moving strange flower, were lurking in front of the bedchamber now.

The wonderful scenes happening in Chuyun Palace, the real Ye Lingyue had no time to appreciate.

After splashing Xue Pianran’s face with Melted Gold Water in the glamorous side hall, Ye Lingyue immediately changed into night clothes.

Little Wuya had already gone to Chuyun Palace for her.

With Little Wuya’s wit and the ability of Illusion, she believed it should be enough to handle the people inside Chuyun Palace.

Ye Lingyue even thought that if Little Wuya couldn’t handle it alone, she would ask Feng Xun for help.

It seems now that there’s no anomaly in the direction of Chuyun Palace, everything must have been perfectly completed.

Thinking of Xue Pianran, the appearance after her disfigurement, Ye Lingyue shrugged her shoulders.

A great beauty ruined.

It really is true that one wouldn’t die if one doesn’t seek death. She originally hadn’t intended to deal with Xue Pianran so soon, but blame could only be placed on her own overestimation of herself.

After the affair, Ye Lingyue rushed over to Emperor Beiqing’s residence in the shortest time, following the secret signs left by Little Zhiyo.

Emperor Beiqing’s bedchamber was located in the deepest part of the Imperial Palace. Although he had many children and servants, Emperor Beiqing usually lived alone.

Even when Emperor Beiqing needed a man to serve him at night, it was said that he directly went to the servant’s palace and never stayed over.

Because Emperor Beiqing disliked noise, besides a few teams of guards outside, there was not a single extra person in his bedchamber.

This greatly facilitated Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue glanced at the moonlight, noting there wasn’t much time left before the end of the palace banquet.

She had to make her move.

Carefully avoiding the guards around the bedchamber, Ye Lingyue was extra cautious; she left Little Qiu Tian outside.

With Little Qiu Tian’s strength now equivalent to about the Martial Artist of Reincarnation Three Paths, along with its talents, as long as it didn’t encounter a master of Reincarnation Fourth and Fifth Paths or above, there would be no danger. Instead, it could alert Ye Lingyue and others.

Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo entered the bedchamber together, silently sneaking in through the window. Ye Lingyue examined this spacious yet simple Emperor’s bedchamber.

Emperor Beiqing’s bedchamber, just like her, exuded a cold and hard aura.

There was not a single trace of a woman’s presence. The decorations, besides thick books, were various weapons with metallic luster.

The whole bedchamber, besides the inner hall where the bed was, had an outer hall and a side hall.

The outer hall had a desk covered with unprocessed memorials, indicating that Emperor Beiqing was a diligent emperor.

As for the side hall, it contained some weapons.

Besides these, there was nothing else; the bedchamber seemed utterly lifeless, not at all like someone lived there.

Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo split up to search carefully.

In fact, Ye Lingyue didn’t know what she was exactly looking for in Emperor Beiqing’s bedchamber.

From the scenes earlier in Chuyun Palace, Emperor Beiqing undoubtedly loved Feng Xun dearly, and it didn’t seem feigned.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t think of any reason why Emperor Beiqing would conceal the real method to cure Feng Xun’s illness.

At that moment, Ye Lingyue found a piece of paper on the desk, written on it were her and Feng Xun’s birth dates.

Indeed, Emperor Beiqing already knew about the incompatibility revealed by their birth charts.

Besides this note, Ye Lingyue also discovered that there were plenty of files about women on Emperor Beiqing’s desk.

These women came from a wide range, from princesses of major and minor countries to ladies from Beiqing’s noble families, almost all under eighteen years old, from good families, young, and beautiful.

Without saying, Ye Lingye knew that Emperor Beiqing was collecting this information to select a new Princess Consort Feng.

It seems that Emperor Beiqing had already made up his mind regarding the marriage arrangement for Prince Feng and would not agree to his marriage with Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue put down the note, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and carefully searched the bedroom. Nothing abnormal was found.

It seems that there would be no discoveries tonight.

Just as Ye Lingyue was feeling regretful and prepared to leave, she remembered something and took out a Mechanical Rat.

Ye Lingyue had long heard that places like the Imperial Palace and noble family mansions usually had multiple secret tunnels for emergency use. She wondered if this Empress of Beiqing had this particular quirk.

After injecting some spiritual power into the Mechanical Rat, it leapt to the floor and began wandering around the spacious bedroom.

It jumped up and down, and in just a moment, it had searched the entire bedroom.

At that moment, the Mechanical Rat suddenly jumped onto Emperor Beiqing’s bed and let out a faint squeak.

Ye Lingyue was shocked to realize that there was indeed a secret tunnel in this bedroom.

Ye Lingyue felt around on the bed for a while and finally found a depressed button next to the pillow. With just a light touch, a square, door-like entrance, similar to a stairwell entrance, appeared on the luxurious Dragon Couch.

The area around the secret door was very clean, indicating it was frequently used.

Below the door, there was a winding staircase leading downwards, its destination unknown.

A soft light emanated from below.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed, not hesitating any further, she called for Little Zhiyo and they both descended.

Just after the pair disappeared, the secret door closed automatically.

The staircase was long, and Ye Lingyue silently estimated; this secret tunnel of Emperor Beiqing was at least several dozen feet deep.

Unlike typical underground chambers, this chamber had good air circulation, and the farther down they went, the wider their view became.

After completing the final stair, an Underground Li Palace, which had an aura unlike that of Emperor Beiqing’s bedroom, appeared before Ye Lingyue’s eyes.

On the surrounding walls, every fifty steps, there was a smooth East Sea Merfolk Pearl embedded, and a babbling channel ran through the entire palace.

There were lots of trees planted all around, and the channel even held some ornamental red fish swimming around.

Ye Lingyue, staying cautious, had the Mechanical Rat lead the way, with herself and Z following behind, walking ahead for about fifteen minutes.

Then, Ye Lingyue suddenly sensed that the Primordial Power in the air was getting stronger.

Based on her experience, she confirmed that either a powerful being or some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure was up ahead.

Driven by curiosity, Ye Lingyue continued walking forward.

She continued until a bed appeared in front of her.

The strong surge of Primordial Power was emanating precisely from that bed.

It was a bed carved from Huai Mountain Jade, and there was someone lying on it.

Ye Lingyue took a few more steps closer, and upon seeing the person on the bed clearly, both Little Zhiyo and Ye Lingyue were stunned.

That person was none other than Feng Xun!
