Chapter 537: The Secret Technique Lost for Thousands of Years
"Your Majesty, you may not know that the Dongwei Imperial Court operates with meticulous care. Elder Feng is imprisoned except when he is in the palace to diagnose the Empress Dowager. That time, the elder accidentally touched a mechanism in the Empress Dowager's chambers and fell in. He was trapped for four days before he was freed. It was during these four days that the elder heard the news. A few months ago, my father wrote to Dongwei, and the Empress Dowager Dongwei finally released the elder. The news has just been relayed back, and my father has written to instruct his subordinates to convey the message to Your Majesty."
Emperor Beili still had great trust in the Yaowang Sect. He fell silent again after hearing this. If Sang Zhi really had the map of Penglai Mountain hidden in his eyes, Dongwei would not have been idle during this trip.
"Someone, go and invite the Eighth Prince to the Imperial Study."
"yes."
Eunuch Li was shocked and left in a hurry.
As soon as Concubine Yuan walked to the door of the imperial study, she heard the emperor anxiously summoning the eighth prince, and she felt confused.
"Your Majesty." The Royal Guards stopped her.
"Go and tell the emperor that I have something to ask for."
The Jinyiwei saluted, knocked on the door and entered.
In a blink of an eye, the Jinyiwei came out and saluted: "Your Highness, please come in."
When Concubine Yuan walked into the imperial study, she noticed at a glance that the emperor looked excited, shocked, and secretly happy. Did he just order someone to look for the eighth prince?
What has happened to the Eighth Prince that makes the Emperor so happy?
"Your Highness."
"My beloved, please excuse me."
"What makes the emperor so happy?" Concubine Yuan walked over and glanced at Yuan Yintang.
"Happy event, great happy event."
"Oh? Could it be that senior brother caught the thief who stole something?" Concubine Yuan guessed.
"These things are insignificant. If this is true, the Medicine King Sect will have made a great contribution. I will reward you with countless treasures, several times more than what my beloved concubine lost." Emperor Beili's words were very encouraging.
"What on earth has made the Emperor so happy?"
"Your Majesty, it was Elder Feng who brought the news about the Penglai Fairy Mountain." Yuan Yintang said.
Concubine Yuan was delighted: "Is this the legendary fairy mountain?"
"Yes, the map of Penglai Fairy Mountain is hidden in the eyes of the Eighth Prince."
Concubine Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look shocked and panicked: "The Eighth Prince's eyes? How is that possible? How can something like a map be hidden in an eye?"
"It's a secret technique that has been lost for thousands of years. The eighth prince's mother's surname is Xuan. A direct descendant of the Xuan family can only give birth to one son in their lifetime. No matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they can't see any color when they are born. Their eyes were sealed by a secret technique from thousands of years ago. This seal will be passed on to the next generation with the birth of offspring. Dong Yi also learned about it a year ago from a master who was about to pass away. After Dong Yi learned about it, he began to plan to snatch the eighth prince." Yuan Yintang said.
Concubine Yuan's face turned ugly and she clenched her fingers in her sleeves. How could it be possible? If it was true... wouldn't she have made a big mistake?
Yuan Yintang paused and continued, "When Princess Dongyi hosted the Three Kingdoms at the Immortal Drunkenness Banquet, it was very likely that she was seeking help from the people of Xiyan. That day, Miss Xiang interfered. Fortunately, Dongyi and Xiyan did not reach an agreement. I don't think Dongyi will let this go. Your Majesty, you must be careful of Dongyi."
"I will write a letter to the Dongyi border tomorrow."
If the map of Penglai Mountain were to be released, it would surely attract competition from the four nations. How could the Emperor of Beili not understand this?
"How does the Emperor intend to deal with the Eighth Prince?"
"I will imprison the Eighth Prince tomorrow. How to obtain the Penglai map depends on the Medicine King Sect to break the seal." said Emperor Beili.
