A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City

"But we only met by chance, how could it be worth it for you to treat me like this?"

"I won't deny your words of meeting by chance, but as for why I'm treating you like this, lady will definitely know about it in the future. However, no matter what, you are someone I'm willing to protect with my life."

What exactly did these words mean? Qian Li really couldn't understand, but from what Xi Lan said, she could deduce that her premonition was not wrong.

The reason why Xi Lan was by her side was not because of what she had said before.

Qian Li still did not rest, she took a Night Pearl that Gong Ming gave her and placed it in her pocket, after looking around, she checked on her surroundings, only to see that there was no one around, then she turned and walked towards the back of the screen. In truth, she did not look like a simple and innocent woman, she had once thought about leaving through the road just for herself, so she could have burn her Weiyang Palace and escaped unscathed. She could totally abandon any kind of love between them. She and Xiao Lan, together with the children, could completely live a good life after they left, but when the Xiao Lan attacked her as well, when the child was gone, the thought of living by herself vanished forever.

She was completely disappointed. She was disappointed in the people around her, and disappointed in herself. She even felt that being alive would be a type of torture, so in the end, she gave up.

With the help of the moonlight, she arrived at the back. There was a wall next to the wall, or more accurately, a row of exquisite cabinets. There were also some small items that she used to like, but now they were all gone.

Seeing this bare stand, a feeling of loss came over Qian Li. Looking at all the things in front of him, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But it was also true that a lot of things were burnt when his Weiyang Palace was set on fire at that time, even if he left some behind by luck. Presumably, in order not to get annoyed, they had all been disposed of by Gong Ye.

She gently turned a grid and after a creaking sound, a small door appeared.

She smiled, "It's still here." I just wonder if anyone who was fighting the fire touched this thing? "

The secret passage was still intact, and the hidden mechanism that she had placed inside during her lifetime had not been touched by anyone, so from the looks of it, it had not been discovered.

After walking for a while. It was a fork in the road. From the left, it was the exit. From the right, Qian Li had never stepped foot in this place before. As a result, she had no idea what was inside or where it led to.

But as she walked, Qian Li discovered something strange. Although no one had touched the secret pathway before, but here, it was not like he had guessed at all. It was another exit, and the further she went, the more people would feel like she was going down.

Naturally, this secret passage wasn't built by her. She had only walked through it once before, and that was the exit route. She had never been curious about this path before, but now, she really wanted to know what was inside.

This secret tunnel shouldn't have been built by Gong Ye, because she was the first woman to live in this palace after he ascended the throne. At that time, she thought that it was built by the late emperor, but she searched through all the history books in the palace but didn't find any records of this secret tunnel.

And that year, the old Emperor died so quickly that he didn't leave behind any orders …

Qian Li frowned, she raised the Night Pearl in her hand and continued to walk inside, the doubts in her heart became more and more.

When he had accidentally discovered this place, he had thought that it was useless and unnecessary. Later on, he had allowed this place to have no dignity and never thought about who had built it.

She stretched out her hand and touched the edges of the items. There was already a lot of dust on the items. They looked as if they had been built many years ago.

Qian Li walked forward, and after walking for a long time, she realised that another small door had appeared. It took her a long time to find the switch, but there were no hidden weapons.

From the looks of it, someone had stayed here many years ago. There was only a dusty stone table and two stone stools inside, and on the table, there was an ancient teapot and a few cups that were still neatly placed there.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Qian Li wiped off a little bit of the dust, and placed the Night Pearl on the table, then started to observe her surroundings.

This place seemed to not have been completely completed yet, or perhaps it wasn't what its owner had expected.

In short, at this moment, there were still many flaws.

Qian Li walked around, but didn't find anything, she felt that it was already late, and was worried that people would find out that she was not in the palace, so she lifted her skirt and prepared to leave. However at this time, she suddenly discovered a golden colored cloth buried under the dust.

She stopped, bent down, and pulled out her leg. "This is …"

Although the cloth that was being revealed was getting more and more exposed, Qian Li's eyes were wide open, this was... Did the emperor specifically use it to write imperial edict or something like that?

Thinking about it, she increased her speed, and very quickly, an entire piece of cloth appeared in front of Qian Li, with dense words written on it.

Qian Li's heart skipped a beat. She felt that this word looked extremely familiar, but she was sure that it wasn't Gong Ye's.

Suddenly, she remembered something. When she was young, she had seen the Emperor's handwriting with her own eyes. Even though it was still young, she still had some impression of it.

"Could it be that this was something left behind by the late emperor?"

She mumbled to herself as she started to read seriously. As she read, her eyes widened.

At that moment, Qian Li's hands trembled slightly. She felt that she had accidentally touched upon an extremely important secret.

As for this secret, she didn't even know if she could bear it or not.

After calming down for a while, she crouched down and started digging in that spot. Then, she found an exquisite box.

The moment she saw the box, she felt that her guess was right. This classical and complicated dragon design clearly indicated that the items inside were definitely not cheap …

Qian Li was a little nervous and a little scared. Fortunately, there was no one around, so she dusted off the two items and tried to restore the original location as much as possible.

As a professional killer and a former soldier, she knew how to hide her whereabouts.

But even so, when she left, she still felt that her steps were a bit too exaggerated.

She hadn't slept the entire night, but as she lay in bed for a while, she had really figured out how to handle this matter.

"Is Li Ran up?" She knew that Li Ran was the one who had been keeping watch the night before, so she was worried that she had not woken up yet.

"I'll just call you Xiao Lan from now on. Firstly, it's fine, and secondly, it'll let those people who have a guilty conscience to reveal their weak points."

Xi Lan nodded, then answered her question, "Sister Li Ran just slept for a short while, from the looks of it, is there something important?"

Qian Li nodded. In order to prevent too many things from happening, she was worried that this thing would not be safe by her side, so she could only work hard for Li Ran, "I have some very important things that I need her to do. Help me call her.

After they got to know each other, Qian Li had never used such a serious and serious tone to speak to them before, so the Xiao Lan didn't doubt them at all.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

In the end, he was still a martial artist. Not resting for the entire night did not seem to have much of an impact on his spirit.

"I've already asked around before. An Rou didn't give birth to a child last night, so the emperor had already stayed overnight, and the Imperial Physician said that he would definitely be born today, so the palace will definitely be very chaotic, and the emperor won't have the time to ask about my matters. As for the servant girl beside me, I believe she won't have the time to ask about it, so I want you to take this opportunity to deliver it to the Ninth Prince.

Li Ran nodded, she extended his hand and received it, "This servant will go right away."
