Su Changzhao dealt with Emperor Xia at the banquet.

Yu Jiuchen was sent back to Xingxing Pavilion.

"This princess can drink more... drink more..."

He pretended to be drunk and was sent back to the house yelling all the way.

Before the palace maid left, she saw him lying on the bed and still mumbling.

"Are we just leaving like this?"

"Do you want to stay and serve?"

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

After they walked out and went far away, Yu Jiuchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright.

He took off his mask and placed it on his chest, then took off his robe, revealing a black outfit underneath...

Estimating the time in his mind, when he arrived near the alchemy room, Liu Wu Yue, disguised as a maid, was already waiting for him there.

"His Majesty."

"Shh, no one noticed you when you came here, did you?"

"No, don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's move quickly. There may be variables with Guardian Xiao and the Ghost King."

"yes."

Emperor Xia attached great importance to alchemy, so important places like the alchemy room must have been strictly guarded.

but.

They could never have imagined that Yu Jiuchen's martial arts was no less powerful than Su Changzhao's. Even if he brought Liu Wuyue with him, he could easily get in.

After the two people successfully entered the alchemy room, the guards outside the door did not notice anything at all.

Yu Jiuchen quickly found the place Su Changzhao had told him in advance.

Then he said to Liu Wuyue, "It's up to you from now on."

Liu Wu Yue nodded, and immediately walked around to the back of a three-meter-high copper furnace, looking at the empty wall.

Combining the surrounding layout, he quickly discovered various mysteries.

The entire room is designed according to the arrangement of the Tiangang stars, so this wall should also follow the same principle.

Liu Wu Yue immediately formed seals with his hands and spoke with great confidence.

Afterwards, he swung his hands heavily towards the wall. Under the influence of his palm power, countless stars suddenly appeared on the empty wall in front of him.

"This is?!"

Map of the twenty-eight constellations in heaven?

Yu Jiuchen was standing there, keeping watch for Liu Wuyue. Bored, he looked around.

He soon noticed something very strange.

Although this is a country that worships astrology, phoenix totems can be seen everywhere in the alchemy room.

The phoenix is ​​the symbol of Fenglai Kingdom.

Why would a country like Xia use totems from other countries?

etc.

This phoenix seems to be different from the phoenix logo of Fenglai Country.

The Fenglai Kingdom is the golden-feathered fire phoenix, but the ones around it don't seem to be that.

Suddenly.

He felt a dizziness in his head, followed by severe pain.

He shook his head several times but couldn't get rid of the unbearable discomfort.

And this feeling keeps coming up lately.

Oh no! My consciousness is being occupied again!

He knew that the 'past lives' in his body were causing trouble again.

He naturally didn't want to give up his body, but he still couldn't control it.

Liu Wu Yue was fully focused on cracking the mechanism and didn't pay much attention to Yu Jiuchen.

Besides, Yu Jiuchen is a martial arts expert, so he doesn’t need to worry at all.

He held up his chin and said, "This place is in the west, so it should be the seven White Tiger constellations, Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Shen, and Zi. Press the corresponding places in this order, and it should be fine."

Just as he extended his finger towards the position of the first 'Kui Su'.

Suddenly a hand quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"Wrong."

Then came a warm voice.

Liu Wu Yue looked with eyes wide open, and saw that Yu Jiuchen had come to her side at some point, with his wrist grabbed by him.

"His Majesty?"

It was very strange. The person in front of him was obviously Yu Jiuchen, the Dragon Emperor of Yulong Kingdom, but Liu Wu Yue clearly felt that the other person's temperament had changed.

The former imperial majesty was gone, replaced by a sense of detached oppression.

Yu Jiuchen didn't look at him, but stared at the stars on the wall in front of him: "You missed a place."

"Where?" Liu Wu Yue asked hurriedly.

This was an area he was familiar with, and he had never heard that the Dragon Emperor knew any strange arts.

How strange.

He just waited to see what the other party would say.

Yu Jiuchen still looked at the stars, "Directions are based on reference objects. Xia Country is indeed located in the west, and should belong to the land of the White Tiger. But do you see the alchemy furnace behind you?"

"The alchemy furnace belongs to gold and is located in the west, which further proves that my judgment is..." wrong.

"On the surface, yes," Yu Jiuchen interrupted him, "The alchemy furnace uses fire. Taking the alchemy furnace as the origin, we can divide the directions again. The real direction of this wall should be south."

"South?"

Liu Wu Yue's eyes widened, and he carefully checked the alchemy furnace behind him again.

I found that it was exactly as Yu Jiuchen said.

Not only that, Yu Jiuchen also made several convincing points.

"Emperor Xia is obsessed with alchemy, and his ultimate goal is nothing more than immortality. As the ancients said, the Vermillion Bird is reborn into nirvana, and life continues forever. If you look closely, you can see a large number of Vermillion Bird totems in this room, which is enough to explain why these are the ones that can really open the secret room mechanism."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed the seven constellations belonging to the Southern Vermillion Bird one by one without any explanation.

Next second.

Silent.

A secret door slowly opened upwards.

"!!" Liu Wu Yue was shocked, "It actually opened?"

He really wanted to ask how Yu Jiuchen knew all this.

But time is running out, so he could only say, "Wu Yue has learned a lesson, and it almost ruined the whole thing. Your Majesty, please wait here, Wu Yue will definitely get the treasure map."

"Hmm." Yu Jiuchen murmured.

The secret room is filled with a lot of psychedelic things. Liu Wu Yue has been practicing Qimen since he was young, so he will not easily suffer from hallucinations. It is most appropriate for him to get the treasure map.

After Liu Wu Yue went in, he took out the things after a while.

Then the two of them left without anyone noticing.

Liu Wu Yue took the medicine box that he had prepared in advance to look for Xiao Qinsu.

He had come out from the Queen's place under the pretense of getting the medicine box.

The two people parted ways.

After everything was over, several people gathered at Xingxing Pavilion.

Su Changzhao was the last one to come back.

Seeing that Xiao Qinsu and Liu Wu Yue were both safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does the Queen have any doubts?" she asked Xiao Qinsu.

Xiao Qinsu shook her head. "No, the queen is very kind and generous. After I treated her, she gave me a lot of rewards."

"Take it, you deserve it. Thank you for your hard work on this trip." Su Changzhao said with a smile.

Xiao Qinsu also smiled and shook her head, meaning that it was what she should do.

At this time, Liu Wuyue looked behind Su Changzhao and asked, "Where is the princess?"

He always called Yu Jiuchen like this in front of others, and only respected him as "Your Majesty" in private.

Hearing this, Su Changzhao was shocked. "He left the banquet a long time ago. Didn't he go with you to get the treasure map?"

"Yes, he was with me. We also successfully got the treasure map. The two maps were with the princess, but we separated later. I went to the queen with the medicine box, and just came back with Protector Xiao."

When Liu Wu Yue finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qinsu, as if he wanted her to testify.

Xiao Qinsu looked at Su Changzhao and nodded heavily, and told him everything about Liu Wuyue using the excuse of getting the medicine box, and then meeting up with Yu Jiuchen to go to the alchemy room to get the treasure map.

"We all thought that he went to see you, my Lord."

Su Changzhao frowned, "No, he pretended to be drunk and left, and never came back."

"Oh no, could the princess be in danger?" Liu Wu Yue said anxiously.

Xiao Qinsu: "Did he get discovered?"

Su Changzhao was horrified when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down: "Don't panic, things shouldn't be that bad. If Lianyu has been captured, there would be no movement in the palace, and Emperor Xia would not let me leave safely and return to Xingxing Pavilion. So right now, we can't lose our composure."

She thought about it again, and suddenly remembered that Yu Jiuchen had fainted once during the day. Before fainting, he hugged her and said "the old place" and "I'll wait for you".

Now that I think about it, it's probably because of a certain "previous life" that I was influenced by.

Then he said, "You guys wait here for me to come back. If I haven't come back before dawn, you have to try to delay me. If that doesn't work, you..."

"I'll wait for you." Xiao Qinsu suddenly grabbed her hand.

Su Changzhao's eyes were moved, and he looked at Liu Wu Yue beside Xiao Qinsu. He also nodded at him, and his determination to wait for her and Yu Jiuchen was obvious.

"Oh." Su Changzhao smiled with relief, "Okay, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, he turned around and left without hesitation, his figure quickly disappearing into the night...
