Chapter 167: Cold Palace Account Book



Tan Tai Chun on the stage just disappeared out of thin air!

Everyone was amazed and stared at the pigeon on the stage with confusion, making all kinds of incredible guesses.

"Then the magician wouldn't really turn into a pigeon, would he?"

Some people stared at the white dove with a look of shock on their faces.

As soon as he said this, everyone stared at the white dove and exclaimed in amazement.

"I think that magician is really an amazing person. Maybe he is the pigeon right now!"

"I've never seen such a wonderful trick in my life. It's truly breathtaking!"

"No, no, no, I don't think this is a magic trick. The master must be the White Dove Immortal. Otherwise, how could he turn into a white dove right in front of us?"

"Exactly. I also think he's the White Dove Immortal. Otherwise, why can't I find him on this stage? He must be the White Dove!"

There were many different opinions and speculations, and Su Lijin, who was standing by, could hardly hold back her laughter.

"Queen, have you noticed something?" Xiao Shengxing looked over with his dark eyes.

Su Lijin coughed lightly, restraining the smile on her face a little. She looked at the stage and said, "This kind of magic trick requires a trick to deceive the eyes. I wonder if the emperor knows about it?"

Xiao Shengxing nodded.

Magic tricks are just sleight of hand, and all depends on the magician's control and technique. Xiao Shengxing knows something about this kind of thing, but the magic trick just now was so exquisite that he couldn't see the flaw in the sleight of hand for the time being.

Although he didn't think that the magician was some kind of white pigeon fairy like others, he had to admit that even he was fooled by this trick.

"However, I really don't see the way." Xiao Shengxing told the truth.

Su Lijin nodded in appreciation at him. It was already amazing that Xiao Shengxing could break away from other people's outrageous speculations.

Moreover, it seems that he is also studying the art of magic. Overall, he is clear-headed and rational. If you give him time, you should be able to see that.

But Su Lijin didn't want to reveal the secret for the time being.

She did understand what was going on, but at the same time, she felt a little strange and wanted to find out what was going on.

"Your Majesty, I want to change my clothes. I'll take my leave now." She stood up and walked to the back.

"Go ahead."

Xiao Shengxing looked at her and nodded, but a thoughtful look flashed in his dark eyes.

Su Lijin's saying that she wanted to change clothes and go to the bathroom was just an excuse.

She stared in one direction, her eyes full of inquiry: "That's where Tan Tai Chun disappeared from. What was he going to do?"

She was staring at the magic trick just now, and she figured out the trick, then she saw Tan Tai Chun disappear from a direction behind the stage.

She must find someone to ask why Tan Tai Chun came to the palace this time.

Su Lijin walked very fast, and soon she saw a sneaky figure in front of her.

"He went to the cold palace?"

Looking at the dilapidated palace, Su Lijin was slightly surprised: "What is he doing there?"

There was no one in the cold palace. It had been in ruins for years and was overgrown with weeds. Not many people would take the initiative to set foot there.

What on earth was Tan Tai Chun doing there?

Could it be that there is someone or something in the cold palace?

She frowned slightly and followed.

In the cold palace, Tan Tai Chun secretly opened the drawers one by one and searched for something quickly.

The drawers are filled with miscellaneous items, occasionally with some basic old books.

Whenever he saw an old book, Tan Tai Chun would take a closer look. If he found something wrong, he would turn to the next one.

"Is he really looking for something?" Su Lijin watched his movements, her eyes swept over the books, and murmured.

Tan Tai Chun seemed to be so engrossed in searching that he didn't even notice her sneaking in.

"What are you looking for?"

Su Lijin's voice rang out.

"Who?"

In the deserted cold palace, a woman's voice suddenly rang out. It was so strange and sudden that Tan Tai Chun was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

He considered himself to be quite brave, but at this moment he was so frightened that he could hardly hold the book in his hand.

When he saw that the person who came in was Su Lijin, Tan Tai Chun was stunned, then patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death, Madam!"

Seeing his appearance, which was very different from his usual self, Su Lijin raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did the famous Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng become a thief?"

Tan Tai Chun gave a bitter smile: "This is also a last resort..."

"Oh no, that's not right. Just now, Bai Xiaosheng was performing a magic trick. Wow, he really is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. It really opened my eyes!"

Su Lijin pretended to clap her hands.

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Chun's face was filled with embarrassment. "Didn't the Empress see through the secret and come here?"

He was a little surprised that Su Lijin could actually see through the trick. Her wisdom and intelligence were shocking.

"Tell me, how did you end up with Prime Minister Zhang Wenfeng?" Su Lijin stopped talking and went straight to the point to ask the question in her mind.

Seeing her ask, Tan Tai Chun gathered his thoughts, sighed, and said, "Zhang Wenfeng hired me to come to this palace to find something."

Su Lijin's eyes narrowed. "What did he ask you to find? What is hidden in the cold palace?"

"You saw the trick just now. It was just a cover. The purpose was to buy me time so that I could find the account book."

"Account book?" Su Lijin was stunned and then frowned.

Tan Tai Chun's expression also became somewhat solemn: "The account book is hidden in this cold palace."

Taking a look at this dilapidated cold palace, Su Lijin really couldn't imagine what kind of account book was hidden here.

"Presumably, that account book is extremely important to Zhang Wenfeng."

Otherwise, he would not have sent anyone to risk entering the palace to search.

"However, I am curious, why did Zhang Wenfeng ask you to do this?" Su Lijin was very surprised.

Tan Tai Chun is known as Jianghu Know-it-all, and everyone who comes to him wants to ask about some secret matters.

"This is the first time I've heard that Bai Xiaosheng could help someone break into the palace and steal the account books."

As soon as the words fell, Su Lijin saw Tan Tai Chun speaking with an embarrassed look on his face, "Earlier, I accidentally over-promoted Shi Qi, making him out to be a famous thief with superb martial arts skills. There's nothing in the world that Shi Qi can't find."

"Ah?" Su Lijin was dumbfounded.

Tan Tai Chun sighed and said, "If the Empress hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, I wouldn't have been so desperate as to go into battle myself."

It turns out that the prime minister was attracted by the name of Shiqi and asked Shiqi to steal the account book. Tan Tai Chun had no choice but to pretend to be Shiqi to complete the task?

After sorting things out, Su Lijin's face showed a bit of guilt: "Some time ago, I was almost slandered for murder and couldn't leave the palace."

Tan Tai Chun had also heard of this matter, nodded, and did not ask.

Finally, he warned: "The Prime Minister seems to be plotting a big conspiracy. I haven't found out anything yet, but Your Majesty must be careful."

Su Lijin suddenly raised her eyes. What tricks is the Prime Minister playing again?

She nodded and asked, "What kind of account book is that?"
