Yan Lingji initiated a truce.

Seeing how tired Teacher Yan was, Jiang Chuan didn't want to teach him anymore.

He could only temporarily cease hostilities, abandon this rapid method of cultivation, and instead begin cultivating on his own.

That being said, it seems like it's been a long time since I last visited Madam Mingzhu.

Since Bai Yifei's return, Jiang Chuan has never entered the palace again.

He was quite curious about the situation in the palace, or rather, what Lady Mingzhu was thinking at that moment.

Jiang Chuan was pondering whether he should make a trip to the palace soon.

……

Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking this.

The Wei Zhuang he praised earlier truly lives up to his reputation.

They found Tianze's location before Bai Yifei did.

Or rather, Bai Yifei wasn't actually that interested in rescuing Princess Honglian.

Because he saw the true nature of things from the very beginning.

Tianze kidnapped Princess Honglian only to survive. He wanted to use Princess Honglian as a bargaining chip to get rid of the Gu poison he left in her body. As long as the Gu poison existed, Tianze could not harm Princess Honglian.

Therefore, Bai Yifei was not in a hurry.

He wanted to wait until Tianze was truly in dire straits before making his move.

Before doing that, keep Tianze hanging so he understands that kidnapping Princess Honglian is not a good choice.

Once the Gu poison in Tianze's body takes effect, he will understand what it means to be unable to live or die.

That was the time Bai Yifei was waiting for.

He waited for Tianze to abandon all his pride, beg for his help, and then become his dog.

However, even Bai Yifei, who prided himself on being able to calculate everything perfectly, ultimately had some things he hadn't foreseen.

That's the skill of the Guigu School disciples.

Wei Zhuang found Tian Ze's location and fought with him in order to rescue Princess Hong Lian.

Unfortunately, this battle was much the same as that night.

He was slightly inferior.

What upset him even more was that Princess Honglian, when he rescued her, threw a tantrum and refused to go back.

In the end, Wei Zhuang's rescue attempt failed due to the combined attack of Tian Ze and his men.

Of course, it can't be said that there were no gains at all.

He received a bottle from Tianze.

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Wei Zhuang handed over the bottle he obtained from Tian Ze to Han Fei and the others.

"It seems that Tianze has a health problem."

Han Fei deduced this answer by combining Wei Zhuang's description of Tian Ze's behavior during their fight.

He then looked at Wei Zhuang, who was somewhat sullen because he had failed to rescue Hong Lian, and said, "Brother Wei Zhuang, there's no need to be upset."

"Although we were unable to rescue Honglian, the fact that Tianze handed this bottle to us means that we have found a bargaining chip to get Honglian back."

"As long as we can find a cure for Tianze's physical problems, getting Honglian back is not a problem."

When Honglian was first kidnapped, Han Fei was devastated and went mad.

But as time went by, he gradually calmed down.

She even went so far as to comfort Wei Zhuang.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang nodded slightly.

Then, Han Fei and the others began to analyze the bottle.

What clues can a bottle reveal?

Of course there is.

First of all, the craftsmanship of this bottle is extremely unique. This technique originated from the ancient Baiyue region, or more precisely, from Huoyu Mountain Villa.

After the destruction of Huoyu Manor, its artisans were all taken to Korea.

And now, there is only one place that has such a bottle.

That is... the royal palace.

In other words, this bottle came from the royal palace.

Knowing that it came from the royal palace makes things easier; all we need to do is investigate the royal palace.

But who will investigate?

This is another question.

Although Han Fei was the Ninth Prince, he was not allowed to enter the palace under normal circumstances.

Just then, Nongyu volunteered.

She prepared to enter the palace to investigate the situation for Han Fei and the others.

So, how could she enter the palace?

Han Fei eventually found Hu Meiren to help him.

Chapter 84 Private Meeting at the Palace

Although all clues about the Fire Rain Agate were cut off because of Jiang Chuan, the case of Liu Yi's death ultimately became an unsolved mystery.

Since Nongyu was unable to recognize Madam Hu, Madam Hu naturally did not know about her relationship with Nongyu.

However, at the beginning of the Fire Rain Agate case, Han Fei did have some dealings with Hu Meiren and established some friendship with her.

He found Hu Meiren, and it's unclear what they said to each other.

In the end, Hu Meiren agreed to help Han Fei.

Under Hu Meiren's arrangement, Nongyu successfully entered the palace and became one of the palace maids.

On the surface, she was a palace maid.

But secretly, whenever she had free time, Nongyu would go to the palace to investigate, hoping to find the source of the bottle.

Finally, after a long period of investigation, she pinpointed a location.

That is, the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion.

The Imperial Fragrance Pavilion was where "230" stored his incense.

On this day, taking advantage of the fact that the people around her were not paying attention, Nongyu quietly sneaked in.

Prepare to find a bottle that matches the one you have.

However, they had only been searching for a short while.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard.

Upon noticing someone approaching, Nongyu quickly and carefully hid herself.

Immediately afterwards, the doors of the Imperial Fragrance Pavilion opened wide and then closed again.

Two voices rang out one after the other.

"You really have a lot of nerve, daring to enter the palace at this time." Upon hearing this voice, Nongyu immediately knew who was speaking.

Madam Mingzhu.

The King of Han's favorite concubine once suppressed Consort Hu in the palace.

Because of her, even though Consort Hu was beautiful and had exotic features, she was always neglected by King Han. Even though Consort Hu tried her best to please King Han, his attention was always on Lady Mingzhu.

Although she was not the queen, her position in the palace was so high that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the head of the harem.

As for the real queen?

He passed away many years ago due to illness.

"There's nothing I can do, I just missed you so much, my lady. As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for so many days, it's been more than three autumns, it's been thirty autumns." It was a man's voice that responded to Madam Mingzhu.

Upon hearing this voice, Nongyu's gaze sharpened once more.

Without a doubt, the person speaking was not the King of Han.

This favorite concubine of the King of Han, Lady Mingzhu, actually had an affair with someone else?

Moreover, this person seems to be from outside the palace; they must have sneaked into the palace.

Nongyu felt as if she had discovered a huge secret.
