Chapter 171 I must enter this stargazing pavilion!

But before getting divorced, she still had one thing to do.

Shangguan Xi tightened his right fist slightly, tilted his head and asked, "Is the ginseng soup I asked someone to cook ready?"

The maid nodded: "It's already cooked. The prince always drinks it."

Shangguan Xi curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

"Drink it. Let him drink more."

The more you drink, the better...

If the sincerity you give is not appreciated, the hatred that follows will double.

The maid felt a little strange.

The princess clearly disliked the prince's behavior and didn't even want to see him in the past few days.

But every day someone would cook ginseng soup for the prince.

Does this mean that she hates the prince or that she likes him?

It's really confusing.

The personal maid did not dare to ask more questions. She bowed and left, going directly to bring some tonic soup to Prince Yong.

Prince Yong was handling official business in his study at this time. He couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard the noise outside.

Oh, he knew that women always say one thing and mean another.

On the surface, he was still angry with me, but I couldn't help but send him ginseng soup to show my care for him.

Forget it, since she likes me so much.

When he ascends the throne, he can try to keep her body intact.

At this time, Prince Yong's attendant pushed the door open and placed the bowl of soup on Prince Yong's desk.

"Your Highness, this is the ginseng soup that Madam sent for you to drink for your health."

King Yong turned his head to look at the ginseng soup and found that it was not hot at all.

He touched it with his hand and found that the ginseng soup had cooled down and was just edible.

Prince Yong raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.

Haha, Shangguan Xi is quite attentive.

But no matter how hard she tried, he would never fall in love with her.

He approached her at first because she was the princess of Dayue Country and could help him return to Xia Country as soon as possible. He married her to consolidate his position in Xia Country.

But soon, he will become the emperor of Xia Kingdom!

Shangguan Xi is no longer of any use, just like a discarded chess piece, it's annoying to even look at him!

King Yong picked up the ginseng soup at hand and drank it in one gulp.

Drink it cleanly.

The servant immediately stepped forward, took the bowl away, and handed it to the personal maid who was waiting at the door.

The personal maid carried the empty bowl back to the main courtyard to report.

Shangguan Xi glanced at the clean bowl, she tightened her right hand in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She wanted to let Prince Yong know that there was no soft persimmon in their Shangguan family!

If you mess with her, you'll pay the price!

The imperial palace.

Shangguan Sui went straight into the palace after breakfast.

Last night Jiang Feng gave her a pass badge, so she didn't have to hand in an invitation or wait for an audience.

You can enter the palace directly and the palace guards will not stop you.

"Greetings to Princess Yuzhen."

When Eunuch Li heard that Shangguan Sui had entered the palace, he immediately went to the palace gate to look for her.

"Princess Yuzhen, the Emperor is playing chess with the Seventh Prince in the Yu Garden. When he heard that you were coming, he sent a servant to pick you up."

Shangguan Sui smiled and said, "Okay, then take me there quickly."

【I just wanted to ask about the Star Observation Pavilion! 】

Jiang Feng was originally playing chess with the Seventh Prince, but when he saw the little pink figure approaching, he quickly stopped playing.

He turned to look at Shangguan Sui who was jumping towards them.

After Shangguan Sui paid his respects, he couldn't wait to walk to the table and sit down.

Jiang Feng also immediately ordered someone to take the chessboard away and replace it with cakes and fruit tea.

Shangguan Sui finished eating two pieces of lotus root honey cake and sighed nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, I just found out yesterday that Xia Kingdom actually has an imperial master, but our Dayue Kingdom doesn't have one."

Jiang Feng laughed happily, "There is indeed a national teacher, but it is useless."

Shangguan Sui frowned slightly, a little surprised.

【What do you mean useless? ! 】

The Seventh Prince explained, "The Xia Kingdom's Imperial Master has lived in the Star Observation Pavilion for generations and never comes out. If there is something important, the Xia Kingdom's Imperial Master will hand over the jade token and ask the emperor to go to the Star Observation Pavilion."

"But since the founding of the Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom's national master has handed over the jade token once."

Shangguan Sui opened his mouth, with some shock in his eyes.

[Letting the Emperor meet him in person, with such a grand ceremony?! ]

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

Actually...he thought so too.

Many ministers in the Xia Kingdom have always said that the Observatory is useless and want to abolish it.

However, the founding emperor had left a will that the Observatory should not be moved.

Therefore, it has been preserved.

The seventh prince thought about it and added another sentence.

"And if you are not summoned by the Xia Kingdom's Imperial Master, no one else can enter the Tianxing Pavilion."

Shangguan Sui raised his eyes and asked, "Even the Emperor can't do that?"

The Seventh Prince nodded, "Yes, no one can."

Shangguan Sui half-closed his eyes thoughtfully.

[In that case... I'll have to think of another way.]

A quarter of an hour later, in the woods next to the Stargazing Pavilion.

Several black figures appeared on the largest tree with the thickest trunk.

Shangguan Sui was half squatting on a tree branch. Xiao Ziyuan was worried that she would fall, so he held her arm with his hand.

Zhu Ni, who was standing next to him, stared at the gate of the Stargazing Pavilion with a look of eagerness on his face.

Ahhhh, I really want to go back!!!

Shangguan Sui stared with his big eyes, looking around but couldn't find anything wrong.

At this time, Yan Kongshan, who had gone out to explore the way, also came back.

The expression on his face was very serious. It was the first time Shangguan Sui saw him like this.

Yan Kongshan said in a deep voice: "I used Qinggong to explore the tall building of Guanxing Pavilion from top to bottom, and found that all the doors and windows were fake, and the inside was all sealed."

"There is only one entrance to the entire Observatory, which is the main entrance."

Shangguan Sui patted Zhu Yan on the shoulder and asked.

"How did you get back to the Star Observatory before? Is there any secret door in the Star Observatory that only you insiders know about?"

Zhu Yan shook his head and said, "There is no secret door in the Star Observation Pavilion. I always go through the main entrance."

"There are only Yin Xia and I living in the entire Tianxing Pavilion. Yin Xia doesn't go out, so he can only stay in the room on the top floor. There is no use for the secret door."

Shangguan Sui lowered his big, flickering eyes and sighed softly.

"It looks like we can only start with the guards at the door."

Xiao Ziyuan looked at Zhu Yan with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"You have known those guards for so long, do you know what weaknesses they have?"

Zhu Yan glared at him, expressing his dissatisfaction with his tone.

But I still thought quietly for a while.

After a moment, he pointed to the leading guard at the door of the Observatory.

"His last name is Meng. We usually call him Guard Meng. I know he has injuries on his body. Whenever it rains, the pain is unbearable. At that time, he will ask for leave and let others take over."

"It seems that this was an injury he suffered on the battlefield before, so Guard Meng retired from the army and worked in the palace instead."

"Guard Meng wanted to cure his old illness and return to the army, but he was never cured and the doctors in the palace were helpless."

Shangguan Sui blinked and repeated in a low voice: "I have an old illness..."

Then her eyes suddenly lit up.

[This is a good idea! I have Sister Feng’s healing pills! ]

[This will definitely help me deal with Guard Meng! I have to enter this Stargazing Pavilion! ]

After a brief discussion of countermeasures, they left the palace.

It was already evening when we returned to Prince Yong's Mansion.

Shangguan Sui had just gotten off the carriage when a maid hurried up to her.

"I have met the princess. The princess has already prepared the meal and asked you to come and eat."

Shangguan Sui recognized her as Shangguan Xi's personal maid and immediately agreed with a smile.

[I have been so busy these past two days that it feels like I haven’t had dinner with my aunt in a while.]

"Sui Sui, you're here."

When Shangguan Xi saw Shangguan Sui, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.

Shangguan Sui also lowered his eyes and called out "Aunt" in a crisp voice.

She glanced around the room.

She found that she and Shangguan Xi were the only ones in the room.

Jiang Shi and Jiang Qi are not here.

Shangguan Sui couldn't help but wonder, "Aunt, are we the only two here?"

Shangguan Xi nodded, "They have already eaten."

She didn't want them to know these things.

"Sui Sui, I have something to tell you."
