Guan Zhiyue wanted to sigh, but then thought better of it.

To avoid having to ask all sorts of questions again, let's just leave it as it is!

"Let's go to sleep! Otherwise we'll end up going straight back later," Guan Zhiyue suggested.

Li Qiji nodded, indicating that he understood.

So the two of them, each with their own thoughts, embraced and fell asleep!

Meanwhile, in the Southern Kingdom...

The palace was in complete chaos. Hua Quan and his men had searched almost every nook and cranny, but the man seemed to have vanished into thin air.

I can't find it no matter what I do!

"Madam, where do you think my brother and the others have gone?"

"A whole night has passed, and we still haven't heard from them. What should we do?"

Li Qishang slumped to the ground, looking utterly exhausted.

Isn't Xiao Tuantuan the same?

She yawned!

She kept trying to enter the space, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get in!

She was also afraid of suddenly disappearing in front of everyone, and she even tried to test it with her consciousness, but there was no response.

"I don't know. Do you know if my sister and the others have a secret place they can go?" Xiao Tuantuan reminded her.

She felt that someone like the emperor should have a special secret passage, or some place that only he knew about.

Or it could be a place known to someone close to her; given the current situation, that's the only possibility she can think of.

She could never have imagined other scenarios, and besides!

Li Qiji's martial arts skills are so high, and he has people secretly protecting him, so even if danger occurs...

They would definitely call for help no matter what, especially since Guan Zhiyue was carrying a secret treasure.

How could I possibly be harmed by bad people?

After hearing Xiao Tuantuan's words, Li Qishang and Hua Quan began to ponder deeply on the spot.

But after thinking it over and over, I still couldn't find any secrets the emperor might have.

Besides, Hua Quan, as the emperor's closest confidant, knew all about those secret passages and chambers.

He had already quietly checked the secret room, and there was no Emperor or Empress there at all, which is why he was making such a big fuss about searching for them.

"Oh dear, my Princess Consort, I have already searched the entire palace, but there is no sign of either of you."

"You are familiar with Her Majesty the Empress, do you know where the two masters have gone?"

Hua Quan looked worried; his emperor!

How could I abandon him?

He has lost his master, what face does he have left to live in this world?

"Your Majesty, where are you?"

"The servants are going crazy looking for us!"

Hua Quan, completely disregarding his image, plopped down on the ground and began to wail loudly, giving off a desolate and miserable feeling!

"Shut up, what are you yelling about? Shut your mouth!"

Little Tuantuan was driven crazy by Hua Quan's shouting, and she jumped up.

He pointed at Hua Quan and began to hurl insults.

Hua Quan was howling with great enthusiasm!

Suddenly hearing those words, he immediately stopped howling. He had only managed to howl halfway through when the cold air rushed into his mouth.

Then it started hiccuping and twitching incessantly.

Little Tuantuan was truly speechless!

What a mess they've made!

----

"Li Qiji, get up." Guan Zhiyue opened her blurry eyes, looked around, and...

Her mind instantly returned to normal; she was back in the modern world, and with Li Qiji by her side!

They are now unregistered!

This was Rosamund Kwan's first reaction!

Li Qiji opened his eyes. Actually, he had been worried about bad guys last night, so he hadn't dared to sleep much.

I drifted off to sleep as dawn broke.

"Hmm, Yue'er, are we still there?"

Guan Zhiyue nodded, gave him a quick kiss on the chin, and then said, "Yes, we're still here! Why don't you get up soon?"

When Li Qiji heard that it was still there, he suddenly felt a surge of joy!

He reached out and hugged Guan Zhiyue, pulling her into his arms and resting his chin on the top of her head.

Then he said, "I'm so sleepy. Let me rest a bit more. It's rare that I don't have to go to the morning court."

Guan Zhiyue: "..."

It seems this place has become a haven for him to slack off. She instantly felt like she was being blessed by the goddess of fortune.

They are currently favoring Li Qiji. Look at how diligently he governs the country, ensuring good weather, abundant harvests, and peace and prosperity.

"Are you that sleepy? Did you go out and do something behind my back last night?"

Guan Zhiyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Qiji.

Li Qiji laughed and said, "My goodness! Little Yue'er, you've really wronged your husband to death!"

"I was so worried last night!"

Guan Zhiyue was a little curious, so she asked, "Why are you so afraid?"

"Of course, we're unfamiliar with this place, so we definitely need to be careful!"

Guan Zhiyue was speechless, so she could only say, "The security in this place is very good, and we locked all the doors and windows."

There won't be any situation where someone breaks into a house and kills someone; besides, killing someone here will land you in jail.

Li Qiji didn't say anything, closed his eyes and held the person in his arms, squinting his eyes happily.

-----

"So, we still haven't found it?" Xiao Tuantuan asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, we have checked all the exits of the palace, but there is no trace of the Emperor and Empress."

Xiao Tuantuan stopped investigating, after all, she couldn't figure out this thing that had no beginning or end, no matter how hard she tried.

"Your Highness, please go and preside over the affairs of state first," Hua Quan said.

With a headache, Li Qishang simply dragged the distraught Li Jingyu along.

Xiao Tuantuan has given up and is no longer planning to look for it; she wants to wait and see.

----

A thunderclap boomed across the sky at night!

In the Imperial Garden of the Palace, Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji inexplicably returned, and then the two were in the lotus pond...

After struggling for a while, they climbed out of the water and looked at each other with great surprise.

"You're back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

"What a wonderful journey!"

"yes!"

The two of them were soaking wet, and if it weren't for their modern clothes, which made it so obvious, they wouldn't have believed where they had gone.

"Yue'er, we really did go to that place. Look, this is the best proof!"

Li Qiji pointed to his clothes and excitedly recounted the story.

Guan Zhiyue nodded; how could she not know?

But why?

Is this implying something?

Or is it possible for her to go back in the future?

She couldn't figure it out, and her head always felt a headache!

She simply stopped thinking about it, looked down at herself, and saw that she was soaking wet.

Turning to Li Qiji, who was still excitedly standing to the side, she said, "Let's go back. We need to wash up quickly. This lotus pond really stinks."

Li Qiji agreed, and the two headed towards the Cold Palace.
