Wang Lingchang picked up the cup on the tea table beside him and said with regret, "This map was found by this old minister after much investigation in the hands of an anonymous princess from the previous dynasty. No one knows where the map of the treasure is."
He lowered his head to drink his tea and continued, "With this half of the map, we can search according to the location on the map and find the approximate location of the treasure. Bring others to search nearby where the treasure is buried, and we will definitely find the true location."
King Junshan also felt that what Wang Lingchang said made sense.
They have been planning this for years and no longer have the patience to waste any more time.
Now that we have the map of the previous dynasty’s treasure in hand, are we still afraid of not finding the exact location?
"Let's take action tomorrow night. Take some trusted people with us and head to the location on the map to look for treasure."
King Junshan made up his mind that once he got the treasure, he would raise an army and start a war, and he was unwilling to wait any longer.
"Once this is accomplished, I will appoint you as the Grand Chancellor and grant you half of the land of the Great Zhou."
His decision was supported by the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang.
"Okay, it's settled. Your Highness, please keep this map. I will return first. We will meet up outside the capital tomorrow night."
The two of them discussed the details of their joint treasure hunt and then parted ways.
The palace was not peaceful at this time.
For some unknown reason, after Emperor Jianchang finished reviewing the memorials in the middle of the night, he went to Fengxian Palace where Concubine Gao lived and returned in a rage.
Concubine Gao was also temporarily banished to the cold palace.
The second prince was demoted to a commoner on the spot.
When Tao Yuwei learned about this, she was having lunch with her parents.
"Could it be that the Concubine Xian is in trouble because of the Gao family's involvement?"
Mrs. Wu looked up and asked her husband.
Everyone loves to listen to gossip, and Wu is no exception.
Tao Zhihong shook his head. "Madam, I don't know much about what's going on in the palace. After the morning court session today, I heard other officials whispering a few words."
[This is probably because Concubine Gao Xian was discovered to have cheated on the Emperor with a palace servant and had the Second Prince, which led to this outcome.]
[Your Majesty was quite magnanimous and did not kill Concubine Gao and the Second Prince on the spot.]
[It's a good thing that the Second Prince has become a commoner. With his foolish mind, he'll die sooner or later if he becomes a prince.]
Tao Yuwei couldn't think of anything else except that this incident broke out prematurely, which made His Majesty so angry.
Tao Yuwei ate the spicy noodles while making comments in her mind.
When Mrs. Wu and Tao Zhihong heard this, their eyes widened.
Your Majesty's harem seems to be quite chaotic.
Last time it was Concubine Huo, and this time it was Concubine Gao.
I don’t know how many times Your Majesty has been cuckolded.
"The Jade Concubine who sat and drank with you last time, I found out that before she entered the palace, she seemed to be from the Lingzhou area in the northwest."
Hearing her father's words, Tao Yuwei's memory suddenly exploded.
Lingzhou?
Something seemed to flash through her mind, but she didn't catch it.
What is it?
After Tao Yuwei had eaten, she kept thinking while washing her hands.
Just as she was starting to figure out some ideas, she was interrupted by Jiang Siyan who came to visit her.
"Mom and Dad, a little sister and I are going to her family's farm in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer heat for two days. When we come back, I'll bring you some more fresh vegetables."
Tao Yuwei stood up and informed Tao Zhihong and his wife of her whereabouts.
Wu was a little worried. "Is it safe for you to go there? Do you want to bring more people with you?"
Ever since Tao Zhihong learned that his daughter was able to follow him quietly, he has been impressed by her skills.
He guessed that if his daughter really wanted to fight with him, she wouldn't be much worse.
I don’t know how my father-in-law taught his daughter, but she has such extraordinary kung fu that she can hide it without revealing it.
"I'll arrange a few more people to protect her, you don't have to worry."
Tao Zhihong immediately called several guards from the palace.
Before Tao Yuwei left the house, she met several people who were responsible for protecting her.
One of them was a woman who had entered the palace with her.
"You don't need to follow me closely. Just hide and keep a certain distance from us."
Otherwise, she wouldn't enjoy playing.
Several guards clasped their fists in response.
Just like that, Tao Yuwei simply packed up some supplies, took two personal maids with her, and walked out of the General's Mansion with Jiang Siyan.
When she arrived outside the mansion, Tao Yuwei saw several extra people and her face looked unhappy.
Before Jiang Siyan could open her mouth to explain, an unpleasant sound of a clip reached her ears.
"Princess Anle, I would like to go out of town with my sister and have a look around. I'm sure you wouldn't mind."
Jiang Siyan's stepsister appeared in front of Tao Yuwei with a face as white as a little white flower.
The other person was wearing a plain white dress, had a fair complexion, painted eyebrows, and a little lip balm on her lips. She looked gentle and pitiful, giving her the feeling that the heroine's stepsister was even more innocent than the heroine.
She even began to doubt the original plot.
Could it be that the male protagonist did not recognize the wrong person, and the person who spent a wonderful time with the male protagonist in childhood was the female protagonist's stepsister?
"Princess Anle is open-minded and will definitely not care about such trivial matters, Jingzhen, don't you think so?"
Suddenly, a bland young woman appeared and spoke self-righteously, leaving Tao Yuwei speechless.
"who is she?"
Jiang Siyan was wearing a neat blue men's suit with arm guards today, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail. She said helplessly, "Her name is Sun Liyun, she's my sister's friend. You met her last time at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. They heard that the princess and I were leaving the capital to relax, so they insisted on following us."
