Chapter 367: The Secret Technique of Illusion

"no."

"You don't have to deny it. Dad just doesn't understand why you care so much about him? Du Yi is still in the palace and hasn't come out. If someone finds out, it will be a serious crime." Xiang Minghou was angry and sour.

The girl treats that brat better than him. Apart from being a little good-looking, that brat is just a nerd.

"Dad, it's really not because of him."

"Who else could it be if not him?"

He wanted to see which brat had caused his daughter so much trouble.

"It's Bai Ling."

"That brat Bai Ling... uh, what's wrong with Bai Ling?" Xiang Minghou started cursing halfway before he realized something was wrong.

"Bai Ling went out of the mansion a few days ago out of play and was captured by Sang Qi's secret guards and brought to the palace for Concubine Yuan. Concubine Yuan's niece has angina pectoris and plans to dig out Bai Ling's heart to use as medicine."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well, I've only raised Bai Ling for two days after all. Even though I don't like it, I can't just watch it get its heart dug out in vain." After Ye Qianning decided to bring Bai Ling back, he had someone release it into the wild.

After all, she didn't have much energy to raise it, and it was someone's pet. If it became mature and was accidentally killed by someone, she would be so sad.

"Indeed, Bai Ling has a spirit that cannot be killed. Father will ask someone to investigate this matter tomorrow. You should stay away from the palace to avoid any further trouble."

"Dad, you don't have to interfere. I've found out everything. Bai Ling is currently imprisoned in Concubine Yuan's bedroom. Tomorrow, Dad will take me to the palace. I have my own plans."

It is not the place for men to get involved in matters of the harem.

If someone happens to see him and accuses him of some false crime, my father's reputation will be ruined.

Xiang Minghou asked suspiciously, "Who did you ask?"

"Du Yi."

"How does he know about the harem?"

"There is a maid sweeping the floor in Concubine Yuan's bedroom. She likes Du Yi very much and knows some things better." Ye Qianning was not talking nonsense.

Ever since he was granted marriage at the banquet, Du Yi has been particularly concerned about the affairs of Concubine Yuan's palace and the palace maids.

Du Yi is quite talented in flirting, after all, he is very handsome.

"Tsk, it's good to be young. After all, it's time for these people to get married." Xiang Minghou understood.

Luo Wen, Luo Xuan and Du Ying, who were hiding outside the car, were all stunned.

They still have to take care of the eldest daughter, so who wants to marry a wife?

"By the way, the birthday banquet is over, why are the envoys from the Three Kingdoms still in Kyoto?"

"The three countries have come from thousands of miles away, so they need to rest for more than a month before returning home." said Xiang Minghou.

"Will there be a banquet later?"

"The post station is accompanied by a special envoy. The Third Prince is responsible for receiving the crown princes of various countries. The Emperor will only summon them occasionally and will hold a farewell banquet again when they are about to leave."

"I see. Last time at the banquet, I saw a key hanging from the emperor's waist. It was so unique and beautiful. Where did it come from?"

"What key?"

"It's a key with a blue gem and a crescent-shaped handle."

Xiang Minghou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not sure. The key that the emperor carries with him should be very important... No, it seems that there is a key somewhere."

He suddenly thought of a place that was indeed very important to the emperor.

"From the national treasury?" Ye Qianning was curious.

"no."

"Hidden treasure?"

"It's the key to a secret room where a woman is locked."

"...Prisoners?"

"No, it's a woman that the Emperor brought back from the border of Xiyan during his travels. This woman is stunningly beautiful and possesses a secret technique that can make people enter a state of trance."
