Chapter 780
That night.

Yun Xiyue stood by the window, looking at the peaceful imperial city outside, said: "You said, will the evil cultivators continue to harm people tonight?"

Ji Xuanqing came to her side, hugged her from behind, and put his chin on her shoulder: "I can't tell. But don't worry too much, as long as he is in the imperial city, he will definitely be caught."

Yun Xiyue nodded slightly, turned to look at his sharp side face, and said, "Then, should we consider the treasure map fragments?"

"When do you plan to go to the palace?"

"Now."

Looking into her pair of clear and bright apricot eyes, Ji Xuanqing couldn't help but raised her lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."

……

Under the illumination of the lights, the imperial palace at night still looks resplendent and majestic.

The guards in the palace were very strict, but to Yun Xiyue and Ji Xuanqing, they were useless, and they sneaked into the palace without any effort.

Treasure map fragments are very precious things, and such precious things will definitely not be placed casually.

Therefore, after the two entered the palace, they first went to look for the treasure house. If the treasure map fragments were not in the treasure house, then they went to the emperor's bedroom.

In fact, after the two explored the treasure house, they really did not find the fragments.

In the darkness, Yun Xiyue took a look at Ji Xuanqing, and said in a low voice, "It's not here, let's go to the emperor's bedroom and look for it."

"Walk."

So, the two went to the emperor's bedroom quietly.

The Zhengde Palace where the emperor lived was still brightly lit. The majestic emperor was sitting behind the desk, but his face was full of sadness.

An old eunuch stood by the emperor's side, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty is worrying about the Gongsun family? It is strange to say that the young master of the Gongsun family died strangely overnight. It is understandable that Patriarch Gongsun wants to find the murderer."

The emperor sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I understand Patriarch Gongsun's feelings, and I really want to find the murderer, but Patriarch Gongsun is too contemptuous of me, and actually asked me to arrest the murderer within three days." Leave it to him! Does he still have an emperor like me in his eyes!"

Eunuch Gao said indignantly, "This Patriarch Gongsun is indeed too disrespectful. He dares to be so disrespectful to you, the Emperor, just because the Gongsun family is a family of alchemists!"

The emperor waved his hands and sighed again: "Forget it, who made this Gongsun family a family of alchemists and respected everywhere."

Eunuch Gao didn't dare to say more, so he had to respond casually, and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should rest early, don't wear yourself out."

The emperor nodded slightly, stood up with the desk propped up, and walked towards the inner hall.

Outside the main hall, Yun Xiyue and Ji Xuanqing, who avoided the guards and hid under the window, could not help but glance at each other after listening to the conversation between the emperor and Eunuch Gao.

"It seems that Patriarch Gongsun is quite courageous, even the emperor doesn't care about him." Yun Xiyue said in a low voice, "Isn't he a family of alchemists? I'm also an alchemist."

When Ji Xuanqing heard the words, she couldn't help but raised her lips and smiled, and teased, "Why don't you recommend yourself to the emperor, and ask the emperor to give you the treasure map fragments?"

"You are laughing at me!" Yun Xiyue glared at him angrily, but then turned her eyes slightly, "However, what you said is a way. I exchange the treasure map fragments with the elixir and the emperor, It’s a good deal for him, isn’t it? Anyway, the fragment of the treasure map is just a piece of waste paper in his hand, and he can’t use it.”
