After Qiao Yanyan returned to Lingshan Temple, she saw that her guest house was brightly lit.

"System, it's over. What reason can I give them later to explain?"

"Host, I can't do anything. It's already midnight. You are a rich lady. You have been out here all alone until now. Why don't you say you are lost?

Forget it, I'll do it myself. I'll go take a rest." The system ignored Qiao Yanyan after saying that.

You are a system. What's the point of taking a rest...

Qiao Yanyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the guest house.

Yu Xia was pacing anxiously in the guest house when suddenly a sound of footsteps came.

Looking up, he found that the young lady had returned safely. He hurried to meet her, tears welling up in his eyes, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Miss, where have you been? We have searched all over Lingshan Temple, but we didn't see you! We were so worried.

Guard Ling and the others are looking for you outside. If you don't come back, I will ask Ling Yun and the others to go back to the Zhenguo Mansion to report to the Duke."

"I'm fine, Yuxia. I went to the back mountain alone and got lost. I just came back now. I'm tired. You go and prepare the toiletries. I'll wash up and want to rest."

Qiao Yanyan pretended to be tired and looked at Yuxia, gently patting her shoulder.

Yuxia wiped her tears and looked at Qiao Yanyan's tired face without asking anything.

He immediately went down to arrange toiletries for Qiao Yanyan, and then helped her wash up. After watching her lying on the bed and closing her eyes to rest, he gently closed the door and went out.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and after a while the footsteps disappeared.

It turned out that Ling Guard and his men had returned. Yu Xia told them that the young lady had returned safely and asked them to go down and rest.

At noon on the second day, Gu Hanyan was picking herbs under a cliff not far from Lingshan Temple.

She always had an intuition that something was calling her, and she had to come to this place at this time.

After walking to a certain place, she looked around and found nothing.

At this time, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, as if she had lost something very important to her!

Qiao Yanyan got up very late the next day. She had consumed a lot of her superpowers yesterday to save Xuanyuan Chen, and she was a little tired today.

She took out the spiritual spring from the space, drank a sip, and instantly felt much better.

Yuxia heard the movement coming from Qiao Yanyan's room, and knew that she was ready to get up.

She knocked on the door gently and asked in a low voice:

"Miss, are you up?"

Qiao Yanyan said lazily: "Come in!"

Yuxia gently pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Qiao Yanyan sitting on the bed in her pajamas, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Yuxia handed over the prepared face wash water and towel and helped her wash up.

After washing up, she helped her put on a plain dress and combed her soft long hair.

Because she was praying in the temple, she didn't bring any hair accessories, just a plain ribbon to decorate it.

Then Yuxia went to arrange a simple and plain vegetarian meal for Qiao Yanyan in the morning.

After dinner, Yuxia accompanied her to pray in the prayer hall, and in the afternoon, she accompanied her to stroll around Lingshan Temple, and a day passed.

Qiao Yanyan sat on a chair in the guest room, with her chin propped up by her hand, chatting with the system with a bored look on her face:

"Xiao Xingxing, are you there?"

"Yes, host." The system replied quickly.

"Why is there one less of the two secret guards given by the original owner's grandfather?"

Qiao Yanyan used her supernatural power to feel it, and only felt the existence of one secret guard.

"It's you who knocked out the two secret guards with your powers. When they woke up, they found you missing and couldn't find you anywhere. The secret guards were so anxious that one of them went to the Duke's Mansion to inform them. I guess your family will be here soon!"

"I'm back now?"

"Don't you see how much the original owner's family valued the original owner? You are the original owner now, and they value you now."

Qiao Yanyan covered her head with her hands. It was really troublesome in ancient times, and it was difficult to maintain the original owner's personality!

The secret guard who left came back at night.

But the strange thing is that she and the system thought that the original owner's relatives would come, but no one came to Lingshan Temple.

The two secret guards still squatted outside the original owner's yard silently to protect Qiao Yanyan.

After staying in Lingshan Temple for a few days, Qiao Yanyan felt that life in Lingshan Temple was a bit boring.

I came to Lingshan Temple before mainly to save Emperor Xuanyuan. Now that he has been saved, why not go back!

Maybe I can still meet Emperor Xuanyuan...

...

After Xuanyuan Chen returned to the palace under the escort of the secret guards, he immediately summoned Feng Li, the supervisor of the East Factory.

Feng Li was a trusted eunuch promoted by Emperor Xuanyuan. He was loyal to Emperor Xuanyuan. Emperor Xuanyuan let him take charge of the affairs of the entire East Factory. He was Emperor Xuanyuan's sharpest knife.

Suddenly, a young eunuch's voice came from outside:

"Your Majesty, the East Factory Supervisor Lord Feng wants to see you!"

Xuanyuan Chen nodded to the personal eunuch Li Gonggong, and Li Gonggong's sharp voice sounded:

"Send... Lord Feng to see you..."

"Your servant Feng Li, pays homage to the emperor."

"Stand up..."

Feng Li stood aside, his head lowered, respectfully waiting for the emperor's questions.

Emperor Xuanyuan sat high on the throne, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty:

"Feng Li, do you know why I summoned you today?"

Feng Li bowed slightly, his expression respectful and a hint of surprise in his eyes, and replied:

"I don't know, please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuanyuan's face was frighteningly gloomy, his eyes flashed with angry flames, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable anger and madness:

"I left the palace today, and someone dared to assassinate me? How audacious!

I left the palace secretly today, it seems that some people are stretching their hands a little too far. Ah!

You go and investigate this matter thoroughly. Anyone who participated in this assassination, no matter who it is, who dares to attack me, must pay a heavy price! "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Do it in secret, don't miss any clues, you have half a month to find out the whole story, and report it directly to me after the investigation.

The people in the East Factory should also check for me to see if there are some people who are betraying me?"

"Yes, I obey your order! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely investigate the assassination of the emperor this time. "Feng Li replied respectfully.

"Okay, you go down!"

"I'll take my leave!"

After Feng Li saluted Emperor Xuanyuan, he slowly left the hall.

Xuanyuan Chen sat on the dragon chair, frowning slightly, holding the pen in his hand for a long time without writing, his eyes were focused and deep, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind, picked up a piece of rice paper next to him, spread it flat on the imperial desk, and gently outlined a beautiful outline with the tip of the pen.

He carefully depicted the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose of the person in the painting, not letting go of any details. As the strokes extended, a lifelike image gradually emerged.

He looked at the person in the painting and murmured to himself: "Yanyan, where are you?..."
