Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The second prince's heart pounded. He was both surprised and delighted, and he pulled Ying Hengzhi into his arms.

"Zhi'er, if what you say is true, and I can really obtain the treasure in Huang Anji's place, then what great grudge could I not achieve?"

The second prince was extremely excited.

He looked down at Ying Hengzhi. She was a rare beauty with a gentle and charming appearance. At this moment, she was looking at him with tender and affectionate eyes.

"Your Highness, I learned this secret in my dream yesterday, so I came here today to tell you."

The second prince looked at her in surprise. "You found out in your sleep?"

"Yes." Ying Hengzhi nodded solemnly.

A perfectly timed look of surprise crossed her face. "Your Highness, I dreamt of a golden phoenix in my sleep."

Her eyes widened in shock: "That golden phoenix was absolutely gorgeous. It circled once in my room and then flew away."

Without realizing it, I got up and was carried on its back. It then carried me to Jade Plate Mountain outside the city.

At the time, I was confused and only felt that Jin Fenghuang had no ill intentions towards me, but was full of affection for me.

It carried me, circling several times above Jade Plate Mountain, before finally landing on a towering tree.

The golden phoenix then turned its head and cried out to me. I suddenly understood its voice; it was telling me that there was treasure under that big tree, the tomb of Huang An from the previous dynasty.

The golden phoenix also said that the treasure in Huang An's tomb belonged to the future true emperor. After saying this, it flew away.

I awoke with a start, only to realize it was all a dream.

The second prince looked suspicious, yet also somewhat uncertain. "Zhi'er, do you know that you can't just say such things carelessly?"

Ying Hengzhi shook her head: "Your Highness, that dream was too bizarre, yet too real. I simply cannot forget it."

A voice seemed to be telling me that I must tell you this, because it is very important to you.

I've been thinking about it for a long time. Why didn't the Golden Phoenix come to me before? Why did it only appear in my dream after I entered your household?

So I'm wondering, could the future true emperor that Golden Phoenix spoke of be... you?

The second prince was feeling elated, as if he had a destiny to become the future emperor.

He was in a great mood and looked at Ying Hengzhi with utmost seriousness. "Zhi'er, could you be the future Golden Phoenix?"

Otherwise, why would the Golden Phoenix seek you out?

Ying Hengzhi stared at him blankly, then smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I am but a concubine, unable to bear your children. How can I be worthy of the Golden Phoenix's destiny?"

Perhaps... that golden phoenix sensed my deep affection for Your Highness, and that's why it appeared to me in a dream, using me to tell Your Highness this great secret.

"Zhi'er, do you remember the exact location of the tree where the golden phoenix perched in your dream?"

The second prince asked.

Ying Hengzhi frowned, trying hard to recall, and then asked, "Your Highness, do you have a map of Jade Plate Mountain?"

Without saying a word, the Second Prince held Ying Hengzhi's hand affectionately, "Come with me."

He led Ying Hengzhi to his study.

At Yuhuan Pavilion, Duan Linglong learned that the Second Prince had personally led Ying Hengzhi to the study, and the hairpin she was holding silently slipped from her hand.

She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.

"It's been several days, and Brother Ze hasn't come to see me at all. Instead, he's been coming in and out of Qingzhu Courtyard repeatedly, and even led Ying Hengzhi into the study..."

Beside her, the maid Xuan'er looked worried and said, "Concubine Duan, don't be sad. His Highness must have something to discuss with Ying Hengzhi before going to the study."

His Highness is not busy anymore; he will definitely come to see you.

Duan Linglong got up and went back to bed. "Xuan'er, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while."

Xuan'er picked up the hairpin that had fallen to the ground and said, "Concubine Duan, you are the Empress's cousin. His Highness will not abandon you. Please don't be anxious."

Duan Linglong, however, seemed dazed. "Without the Duan family, would Her Majesty the Empress still acknowledge me as her niece?"

Xuan'er's expression changed, and she immediately fell silent.

In the study on the other side, the Second Prince took Ying Hengzhi's hand and led her to the desk. He then turned around and took out a scroll from the sandalwood shelf behind him.

Opening it reveals a landscape painting of the famous mountains and rivers of the imperial city.

Among them is Jade Plate Mountain.

"Zhi'er, see if you can find the location of that big tree."

The second prince asked expectantly.

Ying Hengzhi carefully examined the Jade Plate Mountain and began communicating with the system in her mind.

【Mythical Beast, in my dream I only knew that Ying Nanyao entered Huang An's tomb under a big tree, but I didn't know which tree it was.

Can you find it?

System 008 said: [Host, there are many miscellaneous trees growing on the Jade Plate. I can't say exactly which one, but I know the general location.]

It's located halfway up Jade Plate Mountain, in the area towards the southeast.

So Ying Hengzhi pointed to the southeast, halfway up Jade Plate Mountain.

"Your Highness, I only remember that the golden phoenix landed in this area, but I'm not quite sure which tree it landed on."

However, as long as Your Highness focuses your search within this area, you will surely find the entrance to Huang An's tomb.

The second prince's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful, Zhi'er! You're truly my lucky star!"

Ying Hengzhi solemnly said, "Your Highness, my dream is absolutely real. I dare to swear on my life that Huang An's tomb is located on Yupan Mountain. You must be careful and seize the treasure in Huang An's tomb in one fell swoop."

The second prince believed her more and more, and he pulled her into his arms again. "Zhi'er, you are destined to be the Golden Phoenix. Don't worry, even though you are just a concubine now, one day you will be my empress."

"Your Highness, Zhi'er loves you!"

Ying Hengzhi nestled tenderly into his arms.

In the palace, Ying Yufu picked up a vermilion brush and drew a circle on the Jade Plate Mountain map at Emperor Cangxuan's desk.

"This is it, Your Majesty. Lock onto this area and search carefully; we will surely find it."

Ying Nanyao had entered and exited Huang An's tomb more than once; even if he was very careful, he would surely leave some clues.

However, Ying Nanyao has mastered the method of commanding puppet soldiers, and he is afraid that those puppet soldiers will become an obstacle, so he must be extra careful.

Because they were originally used by Huang An to guard the tomb.

"Fu'er, you're right, the puppet soldiers are indeed brutal. However, there are records from the previous dynasty on how to control them, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Emperor Cangxuan looked intently at Ying Yufu and said, "Fu'er, once I find Huang An's tomb and obtain the treasures within, you will have accomplished a great feat."

In addition, there are three new uses you provided. If they are successfully cultivated, they will also be a great achievement that benefits the country and its people.

"Fu'er, what reward do you desire then?"

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up, but she restrained herself and said, "Your Majesty, I will mention the reward after the matter is settled."

Emperor Cangxuan was taken aback, then huffed and said, "You little brat, you're quite cautious, hmph."
