Chapter 1361: Top of the Guantian Tower
Li Ye's inner study was moved to Wangxiantai. The reason was very simple. Queen Dugu Xinyue was pregnant again. In order not to affect the queen's fertility, Li Ye moved the inner study to Wangxiantai.

Wangxiantai is the tallest building in the Daming Palace in Chang'an. Its top floor is the astronomical observatory, where one can observe the movement of the stars in the sky.

This was the place where Feilong practiced meditation in the past. He stayed here for eight whole years, searching for the secrets between heaven and earth. He stayed in the Observation Tower almost all the time, and except for allowing Liefeng to go in a few times occasionally, he did not allow anyone else to enter.

The Guantian Tower is also the most mysterious building in the Daming Palace. It was renovated in the early years of the Tianbao period together with the ancillary buildings. All the windows were sealed and there was only one entrance. The last few floors in particular were built extremely smoothly without any support. Even Liefeng and Gongsun Daniang, who were the most skilled in light kung fu, could not climb up.

This ensures that apart from Feilong, there will be no other person in the Guantian Tower.

But Li Ye’s inner study was not in the Guantian Tower, but in a three-story annex building next to it.

This annex building was originally Feilong's warehouse. The first floor was used to store its various treasures, and the second and third floors were secret rooms. There were no windows on all three floors, and no door on the first floor. It was integrated with the Guantian Tower, and there was a secret door on the third floor that connected it to the Guantian Tower.

The annex building is cleverly designed with ventilation holes, so it doesn't feel stuffy at all. It is built with solid bluestone. These three floors contain Feilong's greatest secret, which is actually just a diary that records Feilong's various mental journeys of reincarnation and the immortality of his soul.

The three-story building covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, but it only contains a one-foot-long scroll placed in an iron cabinet, which shows the importance of this diary.

In the end, Li Ye cremated the diary together with Feilong's body.

Now the annex building of the Guantian Tower has been renovated and turned into Li Ye's inner study. A door and two windows have been opened on the first floor, and everything else remains unchanged.

The first floor was a place for reading and thinking about national affairs, and the second floor was a place for rest. Only Queen Dugu Xinyue and Yang Yuhuan could go to the second floor, but Dugu Xinyue never came, so the second floor actually became Yang Yuhuan's territory.

The third floor is Li Ye’s treasure room, where he stored various treasures he collected, such as the remaining few Caliph gems, the finest mutton-fat jade, some of his favorite calligraphy and paintings, etc. There are probably more than 600 treasures.

In addition, there are two cast iron secret doors on the third floor, leading to the Guantian Tower.

In fact, the big iron gate of the Guantian Tower has been locked from the inside. If you want to enter the Guantian Tower, there is only the secret passage on the third floor of Li Ye's study.

Ever since Li Ye's inner study was moved to Wangxiantai, every time it was Li Ye's turn to favor Yang Yuhuan, she would not stay in her own palace, but come to Wangxiantai to have a tryst with her husband. In her words, having a tryst here felt like having an affair.

After a passionate moment, Li Ye saw beads of sweat on Yang Yuhuan's pretty face, and an idea came to his mind, so he said with a smile: "Why don't we go and enjoy the night breeze!"

"Want to go downstairs for a walk?"

Li Ye shook his head and smiled: "Let's go to the astronomical observatory!"

Yang Yuhuan pouted and said coquettishly, "It's too high, I can't climb up!"

"I'll carry you up!"

"I'm just lazy! And my husband is too tired!"

Li Ye pulled her and said, "Let's go!"

Yang Yuhuan had no choice but to stand up and said, "I'll put on my clothes!"

Li Ye smiled and shook his head. Yang Yuhuan blushed and bit her lip and said, "You bad guy, how can you go out without clothes? What if someone sees you? Besides, it's a bit cold at night and the wind is strong. Do you want to let someone get sick?"

Li Ye thought about it and it made sense. He was strong and immune to cold or heat, but he forgot that his favorite concubine's body could not withstand it.

He smiled and nodded, "Then put on more clothes and go up to the tower. There is a tent up there."

There was Yang Yuhuan's wardrobe in the room. She put on a few more long skirts. Li Ye also wore a long gown and carried a sword. The two walked hand in hand to the third floor.

On the third floor, Li Ye opened two secret doors. When he pushed them open, he saw a dark attic outside. It had been cleaned spotlessly during the renovation of the annex building.

Li Ye held a lantern in one hand and held Yang Yuhuan's hand in the other, and walked slowly up a few more floors.

"Come up!" Li Ye squatted down, and Yang Yuhuan happily lay on her husband, hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "I'll get the lantern!"

Li Ye handed her the lantern, hugged his legs behind his back with his hands, and began to walk upstairs. Yang Yuhuan hugged Li Ye's neck tightly, holding the lantern in her hand.

She whispered in his ear, "I just want my husband to keep carrying me on his back and not have sex with other women anymore."

Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "It's OK for small families, but my status doesn't allow it!"

"Then you are only allowed to carry me up the tower, and you are not allowed to carry other women."

"That's fine. Anyway, you're the only one who goes up to the second floor of the study."

Yang Yuhuan was delighted and kissed her husband on the cheek, then asked quietly, "Are we really the only two in this tower?"

Li Ye nodded, "The gate of this tower is locked from the inside and outside, and there is no window. We can only come in from the third floor of my study. Aren't there only two of us?"

Yang Yuhuan's heart was beating wildly. She whispered a few words in Li Ye's ear. Li Ye laughed, put her down, and they hugged each other. The lanterns gradually went out, and only the rapid breathing of the two people could be heard in the darkness.

After another half an hour, the iron door on the top floor finally opened, and the two walked into the planetarium hand in hand.

There was a sky full of stars and the brilliant Milky Way passed over their heads. Yang Yuhuan exclaimed in amazement, as she had never seen such a magnificent Milky Way.

They had no palace maids or eunuchs around them, so they had to do it themselves. There were several tents on the top where they could sleep on the planetarium.

The two men opened the tent and dragged out the couch, which had bedding and pillows on it, all brand new. At this time, the sky became the tent.

She took off her clothes and lay down on the bed, covering herself with a large, thick and soft quilt. Yang Yuhuan snuggled tightly in her husband's arms, and the two of them hugged each other and looked at the starry sky.

Yang Yuhuan looked at the Milky Way that seemed to be right before her eyes. She suddenly felt like crying. She hugged her husband tightly and said, "Why do I feel like I am lying in the Milky Way?"

Li Ye said leisurely: "The ancients built many sky cities, which were actually built at very high places. At that time, they stood on the highest roof and looked down at the tiny ground. It felt like they were in the sky. I also want to build a sky city like this."

“Isn’t that too labor-intensive?”

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, I can think of a good place. Jingshi Mountain in Lushi County, Guozhou, is also called Laojun Mountain. It is the main peak of Funiushan Mountain. During the Zhenguan period, Yuchi Gong built a Laojun Temple on the top of the mountain and spent a lot of effort to build a mountain road for transporting supplies. I can also build a temporary palace in the most beautiful place in the mountain and build a tower on the top of the mountain. That would be the Heavenly Palace."

"My husband, do you mean that building roads will not consume the manpower of the people?"

"Yes! It's just that building a road is too difficult. The road up the mountain has been built in advance, and we can use carts to transport various construction materials up. It will take at most a few thousand civilians and a few hundred craftsmen to complete it in a year. Next year we can spend the summer there. Of course, important officials of the court will go with us."

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "I have a way to legitimately assign Lu's family to Luoyang Prefecture, so that it can be considered as an inspection of the Eastern Capital."

Li Ye hugged her and smiled, "It doesn't matter, actually. Emperors of every dynasty would go out to escape the heat in the summer. Wu Zetian also had a palace in Xixia County in Funiu Mountain, and there is one in Songshan as well."

In fact, Yang Yuhuan knew in her heart that building a palace was not easy, especially halfway up a mountain. It would take at least hundreds of thousands of laborers and two to three years to complete, which was really a waste of time and money.

She gently advised her husband, "In fact, there are many royal palaces near Chang'an, such as the Jiucheng Palace in Linyou County, which is a summer resort, and the Huaqing Palace in Mount Li, which is a place for hot springs in winter. I think there is no need to go to Laojun Mountain. If you want to experience the life of the gods in heaven, isn't this place good? My husband has just ascended the throne, so try to avoid wasting money and labor."

When Li Ye heard her talking about Huaqing Palace in Mount Li, he knew without any hesitation that she had completely let go of the past. He was delighted and truly fell in love with this rare woman who appeared once in a thousand years.

Li Ye's hands began to move up and down, and he smiled and whispered in her ear: "Why don't we experience together how the gods in the sky make clouds and rain?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled charmingly, twisted her body gently, and her eyes moved, strongly hinting at Li Ye.

At this time, a thin mist came, Li Ye turned over, and the two of them began to make clouds and rain in the night sky.
