Chapter 176 The Dark Room of the Imperial Study
"This is the Imperial Master's personal belonging."
Feng Tianning reached out to take it, but found that Emperor Cang Xuan looked reluctant. She had to use a lot of force to pull the jade pendant out of his hand.
The moment the jade pendant left his hand, Emperor Cang Xuan's face turned pale, his eyes fixed on it, his lips moved, and finally he turned his back, his voice full of determination:
"You guys should leave quickly."
"If you delay any longer, I will regret it."
Feng Tianning and his companions hurriedly took the jade pendant and walked out. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they returned to Zhaixing Tower.
"It seems that Emperor Cang Xuan and the Imperial Master really have an affair." Qin Guan affirmed.
Feng Tianning looked at the gossiping crowd with some helplessness, and took out the tracking talisman.
She clasped her hands together, and a golden light flashed across the tracking talisman and the jade pendant. The next moment, the talisman turned into a puff of black smoke, and the jade pendant floated up and flew in one direction.
"Chase."
Feng Tianning and his companions hurriedly chased in the direction of the jade pendant, but the further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong.
"Tianning, why do I feel this place is familiar?" Feng Tianning looked around in confusion, and suddenly found that he seemed to have seen these palace maids and eunuchs just now.
"Is this... the way to the Imperial Study?"
Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gou Chen looked at each other, the gossip on their faces was self-evident.
"Cough cough." Pei Duyan covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
"It's impossible that the Imperial Master is imprisoned in the Imperial Study by Emperor Cang Xuan, right?"
Seeing that the others all had expressions that showed he had understood the truth, Pei Duyan couldn't hold back his smile and stammered, "
"Why did Emperor Cang Xuan imprison him?"
Fu Ruxuan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Yeah, why? It's hard to guess."
Pei Du said: ...
He seemed to have guessed something, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Feng Tianning interrupted their imagination with a light cough.
"Well, the truth will be revealed when we go to the Imperial Study."
Everyone nodded and continued to follow the flying jade pendant.
Sure enough, it finally stopped at the door of the imperial study, and after a moment, it fell to the ground with a plop.
Feng Tianning walked forward, picked up the jade pendant, and looked inside thoughtfully.
"It seems that the Imperial Master is inside."
Xuan Gou Chen took the jade pendant and looked at it subconsciously.
"Strange," she murmured.
"What's wrong?"
"Why does this jade pendant look familiar?"
The others also came over and took turns looking at the jade pendant.
Fu Ruxuan frowned and said:
"Now that you mention it, I feel like I've seen it somewhere."
Qin Guan also agreed and said that he seemed to have seen it too.
Everyone's eyes fell on Pei Duyan and Feng Tianning, who had been silent.
The answer I got was that I had never seen it before.
"Maybe we're overthinking it."
"Let's go find the Imperial Master first. Once we find him, we'll know everything."
Feng Tianning nodded and cast an invisibility spell on them, and then they walked into the imperial study in a swaggering manner.
Emperor Cang Xuan was sitting at his desk at this moment, staring at a painting in a trance.
Pei Duyan quietly walked behind him and found that the person in the painting was standing in a bamboo forest, and his graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
The only flaw is that he has no face.
Emperor Cang Xuan stood up suddenly. Pei Duyan was startled by him and subconsciously took a step back, bumping into the cabinet behind him.
The faint noise caught Emperor Cang Xuan's attention. He stared at the cabinet for a long time before sighing and speaking to the person in the painting with seemingly helplessness:
"You are always so unruly."
"Why can't you just stay by my side?"
There was a hint of gloom on Emperor Cangxuan's handsome face.
It seemed that no one noticed him. Pei Duyan had just breathed a sigh of relief when Eunuch Su walked in with sweat all over his forehead.
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
"Those people from Zhaixing Tower are gone!"
Emperor Cang Xuan's brows were tightly locked.
"When did it happen?"
"Shortly after they left the Imperial Study, a palace maid saw them leaving the Star-Picking Tower and heading towards you again, but they disappeared near the Imperial Study."
Emperor Cang Xuan's face was somewhat gloomy, and his hands on the table were turning pale from exertion.
"Check, check for me."
"We must find them no matter what."
Eunuch Su was sweating profusely. He hurriedly replied "yes" and walked out.
The imperial study returned to silence again. Emperor Cang Xuan glanced towards the corner with a sense of something. Qin Guan and others were frightened by him, and their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
The place where Emperor Cang Xuan was looking was exactly where they were standing at the moment.
Fortunately, his gaze did not linger for too long. He stood up and turned the mechanism on the wall a few times.
The next moment, a secret door opened behind everyone.
Emperor Cang Xuan was not looking at Qin Guan and the others just now, but at the secret door behind them.
Emperor Cang Xuan took a deep breath, as if he was preparing himself mentally, and it took him a long time to reach the secret door.
Feng Tianning and others hurriedly made way for him, and followed Emperor Cang Xuan closely into the secret door.
Inside was a room of several dozen square meters, fully equipped with everything one would need.
A man in a mask sits at a table with a book in his hands.
He didn't even raise his head when he heard the noise outside.
"Azi, now you don't even want to look at me?"
The person at the table didn't say anything, but just flipped through the book in his hand.
Feng Tianning walked forward and found that the person imprisoned here was the imperial teacher.
As if he had noticed something, the Imperial Master slowly raised his head and looked towards where they were standing.
He suddenly chuckled:
"It seems that His Majesty is not that cautious."
Emperor Cang Xuan was a little confused by his incoherent words, but then his face was filled with joy.
"Azi, you are finally willing to talk to me."
"Recently, two people who claim to be Nuwa and Shennong have come."
"I don't trust them, I only trust you."
Emperor Cang Xuan leaned on the Imperial Master with a look of affection on his face:
"Azi, in my heart, you are the only god of the Great Cang Nation."
There was no change on the Imperial Master's face, and he withdrew his gaze from Pei Duyan and the others.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is what I should do."
The Imperial Master's indifferent words seemed to have angered Emperor Cang Xuan. He snorted coldly and stood up.
"In that case, then the Imperial Master should continue to reflect here."
"When you stop talking about leaving, I will let you out."
There was still no expression on the Imperial Master's face, as if Emperor Cang Xuan was an insignificant person.
"Qiao Zi, you are really great."
After saying that, he turned away.
Feng Tianning and the others looked at each other, and tacitly did not leave, and continued to stay in the dark room.
It was not until he heard the door of the dark room close that the Imperial Master's calm eyes began to show a bit more color.
He looked straight at where Qin Guan and the others were and said:
"Since you are here, why don't you come out and meet me?"
