After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

At the same time, in the South Study of the Imperial Palace.

The young eunuch took small steps to the door and reported tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, Lord Pei has arrived."

"Let him come in right now!" the emperor roared with full force.

Pei Su followed his instructions and strode in, lifted up his skirt and bowed respectfully to the ground, "Your Majesty, I, Pei Su, greet you."

The emperor glared at him, "Pei Su, why did you leave your post without permission? Didn't I tell you to take those people and dig up the Pagoda with all your strength?"

Pei Su lowered his head and said respectfully, "It is my fault. Your Majesty, please punish me."

The emperor was furious, pointing at him and yelling, "Am I going to punish you? I am urging you to speed up. Don't forget, you signed a military order in front of me! If you don't dig up the Qibao Pagoda within today, I will make you lose your head!"

"Yes."

"I'm not exaggerating!" The emperor sneered in anger.

"Yes, I understand." Pei Su rested his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, although I have left, I have already made arrangements..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation, I just want to see the results."

"Yes." Pei Su responded calmly, like a puppet, "I will dig the passage to the Qibao Pagoda today."

"Oh? You seem to be very confident, but do you have any tricks?"

"I have a retainer who is well versed in digging tunnels. I have already arranged for him to lead two teams of capable men, and now they have opened up the main road leading underground. It will just take some time to clear the rubble so that Your Majesty can pass through."

The emperor immediately became interested. "Oh? Is the retainer you are talking about a talented person in the martial arts world?"

"Yes."

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he looked at Pei Su with a half-smile, "How come I have never heard of this before? There really are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your Pei Mansion."

Since Pei Su dared to say this, he naturally had a plan to deal with it.

The emperor was familiar with this man's character. He wanted to use him, but also be suspicious of him. This was their Emperor Yongyou.

Pei Su knelt on the ground and bowed his head, "Your Majesty, since I, Pei Su, am your most loyal lackey, my followers must also be your followers."

The emperor's expression eased a little and he laughed out loud.

Pei Su was quite puzzled and looked up boldly.

The emperor's face was flushed, his coughing stopped, he looked more energetic, and his voice was much louder than usual.

"Your Majesty, has your body recovered?" Pei Su looked happy.

"Not bad." The emperor was smug. "How do you think I am now?"

"How dare I casually discuss Your Majesty?"

"You can say whatever you want." The emperor smiled from ear to ear, implying that he just wanted people to praise him.

Pei Su smiled and said, "Look at your Majesty's complexion now. It is really rosy and radiant, even more so than when you were young. Congratulations to your Majesty, your body has fully recovered."

"Hahahaha!" The flattery seemed to make the emperor very happy.

He laughed heartily with joy, and his attitude towards the lackey in front of him became much better.

Waving his hand to let Pei Su stand up, the emperor walked forward a few steps, held his hand, and showed a fatherly look, "Su'er, don't blame me for being strict with you."

"You are the youngest member of the Pei family that I have the highest hopes for, and you are also my most trusted assistant." The emperor patted his hands and said with a smile, "In the future, you will have to carry the banner of the entire Peiguo Mansion. If you don't succeed, I will be heartbroken."

"Your Majesty is right." Pei Su smiled and lowered his head slightly. "Your Majesty, don't worry. The passage will be completely opened in an hour or two. Then, Your Majesty can go to the scene to see it."

"Good, good, good." The emperor became even happier and patted Pei Su's hand, "Then go quickly." "Yes, I will come to invite Your Majesty in person later."

Pei Su left quickly. The emperor looked at his tall and handsome back with a smile on his face, looking comforted.

Fude walked in with his fat and short legs, holding a wooden tray and approaching with a smile, "Your Majesty, these are the new ladies who have entered the palace. Which one do you want to choose?"

The emperor was in a good mood and pointed at the signs on the tray.

Fude smiled and told the emperor which family this girl was from and which daughter that was from.

The emperor paused on the sign of Concubine Lan, then moved his finger to the sign next to it, "This is..."

Fude smiled and squinted his eyes, "This is Concubine Xiang, the daughter of the Jiangnan Road Salt Transport Envoy."

"Yes." The emperor responded, hesitated and looked at the name card of Concubine Lan next to him, and finally took the name card of Concubine Xiang.

"It will probably take some time to dig through the tunnel, so let's go and take a look first."

Fude smiled happily, "The medicine of the great wizard is really an elixir. There is no other doctor as powerful as the great wizard in the world. With the help of this doctor, your majesty will get better in the future, and he can also give us a few more little princes!"

The emperor was delighted and laughed heartily with great gait.

"Get ready, and organize the embroidery pavilion."

The emperor was very happy at the moment and even took some time to meet his new favorite concubine.

However, two hours later, when he followed the excavated passage into the underground of the Qibao Pagoda, he was completely stunned.

It’s gone. How come everything is gone?
His treasure house, all his treasures. And that whole mountain of gold and gems!
The emperor was so heartbroken that he closed his eyes and fainted on the spot.

But Fudexiao, Pei Su and others who were accompanying him were all frightened and hurried forward to support the emperor.

Fudexiao looked even more terrified, and shouted for someone to ask the imperial master to come and take a look.

Fortunately, the emperor woke up quickly after fainting.

Perhaps it was the desire to find a result in his mind that urged the emperor to wake up. His face turned pale and he grabbed Pei Su's hand, "Has anyone been here during this period?"

"No, Your Majesty." Pei Su also became serious.

Although he didn't know where this place was, looking at the expression of His Majesty... he knew it must be extraordinary.

Look at this empty secret hall below, it is so spacious and grand, and there are traces of wooden cabinets and boxes along the wall. It can be seen that this place... may be a secret treasure room, most likely owned by His Majesty personally.

Human beings’ sorrows and joys are truly incommunicable…

Everyone watched as the emperor's expression changed from one of joy and happiness to one of grief and sorrow.

In an instant, it was as if all his energy was drained from him, and he suddenly looked dozens of years older...

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" The emperor asked Eunuch Xiao to help him stand up, and he felt around with trembling hands.

Suddenly he beat his chest and stamped his feet, howling, then his head tilted and he fainted again.

This shocked everyone.

Pei Su hurriedly picked up the emperor and walked quickly up the passage, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"Master, find the Master!" Laughing eunuch howled in a shrill voice.

Everyone was in a state of chaos, and the culprit was already sleeping comfortably... (End of this chapter)
