Qin Chuxing's overly exaggerated expression also caused the Yu sisters to stop in their tracks.

They all looked at Qin Chuxing, puzzled.

It wasn't until a man dressed in a blue brocade robe walked into the palace that they could see him clearly.

Yu Xiaoshuang, pulling her younger sister along, asked, "Who is this?"

Yu Xiaoqing shook her head.

The eunuch came out of the imperial study and saw the two still looking around. He said in a high-pitched, sarcastic voice, "Your Highnesses, please go back. This is not a place for you two to stay."

Yu Xiaoshuang wanted to curse, "Who just went in?"

"The Grand Preceptor of the Great Sheng Kingdom".

The eunuch stared at the two of them as if they were idiots.

It was as if they were mocking the two sisters for being so ignorant.

It was Xiao Tang.

She stepped across the threshold, her steps leading to the man at the table.

Since they were not in a ruler-subject relationship, she did not need to perform this formality.

"The Imperial Advisor has indeed arrived. It seems he really cares about the Regent!" Qin Chuxing snorted.

The tone was strange.

Xiao Tang didn't bother to delve into the nuances of her tone, simply raising her chin slightly. "If you want me to exorcise evil spirits for you, you should tell me what kind of evil spirits you're trying to ward off."

If it's possible to solve a bizarre problem for him in exchange for a 7 Days to Die, then it's definitely not a bad deal.

At least, this would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

She no longer needed to continue with the so-called "jealousy" task given by the system.

Everyone knows what the consequences are of making the main villain jealous.

It's a miracle they didn't raze the entire Western Qin imperial palace to the ground!

She didn't want to face that kind of crematorium.

Qin Chuxing crossed his arms and placed them on the table.

He said in a deep voice, "The Grand Preceptor is so powerful, do I need to tell you? I'm afraid the Grand Preceptor has already calculated it himself."

What's the point of calculating this!

Xiao Tang didn't know where this man got the courage to think like that.

With a forced smile and a sinister tone, he retorted, "So, according to you, even if I were to offer my help, I would have to perform a divination first?"

Faced with her sinister gaze, Qin Chuxing surprisingly didn't get angry.

He stood up and gestured for Xiao Tang to proceed.

“Come with me.”

The two sisters, who were still outside and unwilling to leave, looked around curiously.

They had no idea who this imperial advisor was, how he could be here, or how he could have completely fooled the emperor.

Yu Xiaoshuang, who wasn't good at reading people's expressions, grabbed Yu Xiaoqing and asked, "What do we do now? Should we go and see what's going on?"

"What if the emperor is fooled by this charlatan, the imperial advisor?"

Yu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at her.

Instead of worrying about His Majesty being deceived, we should think about what this strange thing is all about.

Although they had only been in the palace for a short time, they had never witnessed anything strange or eerie!

When the two women tried to follow them, they found that the two men had disappeared.

It seemed to be a secret door, separating the inside and outside of the imperial study.

...

Xiao Tang was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the secret room.

but……

She was the Grand Preceptor of the Great Sheng Kingdom. Suddenly, she learned that there was a secret room mechanism in the Imperial Study. Would she be killed and silenced later?

However, it seems that Qin Chuxing didn't even consider that possibility.

He raised his chin slightly.

"This is the place where children cry every night."

"A child?" Xiao Tang's extremely cold gaze swept across the entire secret room.

The secret room wasn't very big.

But strangely, the wall was covered with a dense array of characters.

If you look closely, you'll see that these characters are different colors and come together to form the outline of a baby.

"You can hear it, but can others hear it?"

"I don't know." Qin Chuxing frowned. "I only know that since I ascended the throne, it has been three years, and I have favored twenty concubines, but none of them have gotten pregnant."

Xiao Tang: ? ? ?

So this was the strange thing he was talking about!

No wonder.

She was quite surprised. The Western Qin Emperor had been on the throne for three years, and there were rumors that he was obsessed with beautiful women and neglected state affairs.

He's so diligent in having children, even more so than attending court; there's no reason why his concubines wouldn't be able to produce any offspring.

Xiao Tang nodded. "Let me see."

Qin Chuxing's eyes were burning.

To be honest, he had sought out many talented and extraordinary people, but none of them could solve the problem.

They all knew that the painting on the wall was a curse.

I even advised him to burn it down, so that he could end it all.

Little did they know that this secret room had already gone through several cycles of destruction and destruction. However, when the Imperial Study was rebuilt and the secret room was preserved, these words would reappear on the walls.

I've seen many strange things, but this is truly baffling.

He wasn't quite sure about Hao Fang's abilities.

Xiao Tang smiled, "Oh, I see."

She calmly replied.

These words caused Qin Chuxing's expression to change. "What do you mean?"

It sounds completely confusing.

Xiao Tang shook her head and smiled faintly at the man: "Your Majesty, since you have told me the problem, I must also make a condition."

"?" Qin Chuxing frowned.

This imperial advisor is quite capable; he even made demands of him.

But considering that he needed something from him, Qin Chuxing had no choice but to endure it.

"Please speak freely."

"I need to see Seven Days to Kill first, otherwise wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"

Xiao Tang put his hands behind his back and said, "As the ruler of a country, His Majesty's word is as good as gold and he will not go back on his word, right?"

Right about what!
