Otherwise, if they were blocked here, no matter how good their martial arts were, they would be unable to use them and would have no way to escape.

The group consisted of individuals with exceptionally strong willpower. They calmly traversed the long, dark passageway and arrived at the bank of an underground river that was at least 500 meters wide.

Wuhen visually assessed the depth and width of the river and quickly realized where he was: "The entrance and exit of the palace's underground canal is actually beneath the East Palace."

"Then why didn't they build the treasure chamber here? Aren't they afraid that the people in the palace who are cleaning the river channels will find it?" Xi Que asked with a strange look.

"When the palace cleans ponds and channels, it always only cleans the areas within the palace and never cleans the underground waterways," Wuhen explained patiently and gently.

Seeing how patient Wuhen was with Xique, and how he didn't neglect or mistreat her just because of her carefree and easygoing personality, Ji Fengyao was happy for Xique, and a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

When Shang Xiye saw his wife looking at other people's affectionate moments with envy, he quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and pulled her to his side.

You have someone who loves you, so there's no need to envy others.

His sudden action startled Ji Fengyao, who thought something unexpected had happened.

He met Shang Xiye's soft, puppy-like gaze;

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Can anyone tell her why this thing suddenly became so cute?

Wu Shang: "..."

Silently repeat, "I have He Ye, I am not envious!"

Wu Zhong: "..."

My master has been feeding me more and more "outrageous" dog food these past two days. Looking at Wuhen and Xique next to me, who are also all lovey-dovey and sticky, I feel only bitterness in my heart.

He took off the waist tag from his waist, held it high above his head, and went up the rope suspension bridge over the river by himself.

Once they reached the other side, a group of people came out, checked the waist tag in his hand, and left.

He then waved from afar, signaling the group to come over.

Walking on the soft, swaying suspension bridge, looking down at the dark, unfathomable river below, Ji Fengyao couldn't help but admire the Crown Prince's thoughtfulness and ingenuity.

If it weren't for Wu Zhong obtaining their insider's clothes and badges, allowing him to disguise himself and infiltrate;

If outsiders rashly barge into this place, they will truly only have their lives hanging in the balance.

After crossing the suspension bridge and passing through a long passageway, the group finally arrived at the foot of a steep cliff.

"Damn, thank goodness we didn't fight earlier, otherwise we really wouldn't have gotten this money today," Xique sighed softly as he looked at the sheer cliffs on both sides that stretched thousands of meters into the distance, barely visible against the dim night sky.

Even Shang Xiye said softly, "If the Crown Prince puts all these thoughts into governing the country, how can he not become a wise ruler?"

Ji Fengyao could tell that he did not intend to kill the Crown Prince.

After all, as the ninth prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty, it is only natural for him to hope that a wise ruler could lead his country to prosperity and strength, and enable the people to live in peace and contentment.

Torn between national duty and his affection for her;

He was trying to maintain a delicate balance, and she understood that.

Thinking of this, Ji Fengyao felt a sweet warmth in her heart: even if her master didn't remember her, he still treated her with such pampering and care.

But as sweet as she was, so was her anxiety:

What if my master can't accept it after regaining his memories?

Even if the master can accept it;

What if their relationship is not accepted by the world, and the master chooses to give up?

She remembered one time in her past life.

After completing her labor-inducing surgery, the sixteen-year-old felt somewhat tired and went to the spiritual spring behind the Dan Sect to soak and relax. Unexpectedly, her master suddenly came and saw her.
