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

However, neither the Crown Prince nor Princess Anguo seemed inclined to explain to him. Seeing their inscrutable expressions, Hai Qiongying keenly sensed that there was a secret he was unaware of.

Perhaps it is a secret passage.

Since the two of them didn't tell him what they meant, presumably to maintain secrecy, he wisely stopped asking.

Instead, he said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I will definitely guard this place well."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Uncle," the Crown Prince said with a smile.

He could tell that Hai Qiongying was thinking of something else, so without saying anything more, he quickly left with Ying Yufu.

After they leave, they will come back as soon as possible to exchange the remaining treasures.

In the palace, Emperor Cangxuan stood in his private treasury, watching as a vast amount of gold and silver treasures suddenly appeared out of thin air in the storeroom he had specially prepared to empty. They were almost piled up like a mountain, and Emperor Cangxuan couldn't help but gasp.

He looked at Ying Yufu with a deep gaze, staring intently at her: "Fu'er, are you saying you have a storage space?"

Ying Yufu felt a little uneasy under Cangxuan Emperor's gaze, and for a moment she was conflicted, wondering if exposing her secret like this was too impulsive.

The next moment, Emperor Cangxuan suddenly strode forward and excitedly reached out to take her hand.

The Crown Prince's eye twitched, and he moved his body slightly to stand in front of Ying Yufu. Emperor Cangxuan then grabbed the Crown Prince's hand.

Emperor Cangxuan shook his head subconsciously twice, then, realizing what was happening, brushed the Crown Prince's hand away with a look of disgust. Without a hint of embarrassment, he said to Ying Yufu, "Fu'er, wouldn't you like to be a princess? I feel the title of 'County Princess' is a bit unworthy of you. How about I adopt you as my goddaughter?"

The crown prince's face darkened instantly, and he spat out an angry voice through clenched teeth: "Father, do I look like someone who lacks a younger sister?"

Emperor Cangxuan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Look, even I'm confused. You're engaged to the Crown Prince."

"Fu'er, you two are quite familiar with each other already, aren't you? Look, your wedding date hasn't been set yet. In my opinion, why don't we get married as soon as possible?"

"Your Majesty, there's no rush..." Ying Yufu was even more terrified by Emperor Cangxuan's unusual enthusiasm.

Emperor Cangxuan slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I was indeed too hasty. We should have waited for your maternal grandfather to return from the border before arranging your marriage with the Crown Prince."

Emperor Cangxuan smiled broadly as he said this, "A letter has arrived from the border. It's a secret letter. We've found your whereabouts in the Duke of Zheng. We heard you were in a coma, but Yu Li said they brought the medicine you gave us, and it's very effective. You should recover soon!"

However, there are still battles at the border, and they need to quell the fighting before they can return.

Ying Yufu's eyes widened suddenly, filled with ecstatic joy.

"Your Majesty, is it true? Is my maternal grandfather really safe? And what about the previous rumors that he had infiltrated the enemy camp? Were they true or false?"

News came from the border that my maternal grandfather, being ambitious and eager for glory, disregarded the lives of his soldiers and stormed into the enemy camp, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers, and my maternal grandfather also went missing.

Emperor Cangxuan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Your maternal grandfather was tricked. He followed the late emperor in his campaigns, achieving great military exploits and displaying extraordinary bravery. It is no wonder that ordinary people could not outwit him."

But this time, the general Song Yi beside him was a member of the Chrysanthemum Hall. Over the years, Song Yi had been lurking by his side. This series of incidents was all because Song Yi set a trap. Your grandfather trusted him completely, which is why he fell into the trap.

The secret letter said that Song Yi had been taken into their control, and now Lian Guan had returned to our hands, led by your uncle Shangguan Jian.

However, with the border war still raging, this news cannot be leaked, so Yu Li has not contacted the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Fu'er, you mustn't tell anyone about this when you return.”

Ying Yufu knew the gravity of the situation; the more people who knew, the greater the risk.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will not tell anyone."

Her eyes lit up with a bright light, filled with joy and excitement.

Then she asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what is the Chrysanthemum Hall?"

A glint of light flashed in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes as he said, "The Chrysanthemum Hall is an organization of remnants of the previous dynasty. They have been causing trouble in secret for years. However, they are too secretive and their actions are cunning and unpredictable. So, although we have been trying to eliminate them in secret over the years, we have never been able to eradicate them completely."

"So that's how it is." Ying Yufu was very shocked.

The Crown Prince said, "The Chrysanthemum Hall dares not act openly, and we are also afraid of causing panic among the people, so we have kept the existence of the Chrysanthemum Hall a secret and only attacked it in secret."

However, their existence is so difficult for us to guard against, because none of us know whether the people around us are members of the Chrysanthemum Hall...

hiss!

Thinking about it this way, Ying Yufu felt a chill run down her spine.

Just like Song Yi, who was by her maternal grandfather's side. She had met Song Yi before. He was a second-rank general. Not only did her maternal grandfather think highly of him and treat him and her maternal uncle equally, but even His Majesty had once thought highly of him.

Some court officials even believed that Shenyi would become the next Duke of Zhenguo, with potential even greater than his maternal uncle.

Countless officials were hostile to him because he was a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's lineage, sowing discord, secretly trying to win him over, and even attempting to assassinate or frame him.

But this person is actually a member of Chrysanthemum Hall.

Just as Ying Yufu was immersed in the shock of the Chrysanthemum Hall, the voice of Emperor Cangxuan rang in her ears again.

"Fu'er, barring any unforeseen circumstances, your maternal grandfather and the others should be back before the New Year. Fu'er, how about setting your wedding date with the Crown Prince after the Lantern Festival?"

Ying Yufu: "..."

She turned to look at the Crown Prince, only to see that he was also staring at her expectantly.

Ying Yufu blushed slightly, a rare occurrence, because the book "The Rich Young Lady and the Handsome Prince" that she had asked You Fangzhai to compile suddenly popped into her mind.

She said, "Your Majesty, we must also ask Mother and Great-Grandmother."

Emperor Cangxuan nodded with a smile and said, "That's only right. I'll find someone to mention this to the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo as soon as I get back!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Ying Yufu said.

Emperor Cangxuan stared intently at her. "Fu'er, tell me, what exactly is going on with this space of yours?"

Ying Yufu knew that this was the right time to be honest, so she decided to tell him the truth.

She said directly, "Your Majesty, the story begins with the Second Prince confiding his true feelings to me."

"Reveal your true feelings? Mingze?" A vein throbbed on Emperor Cangxuan's forehead.

"Yes, His Highness the Second Prince told me that his true love is Ying Hengzhi, and he wants me to be his concubine."

That very day, a magical artifact suddenly appeared in my mind. It told me of my future destiny, foreshadowed my tragic fate, and gave me seeds for new food, star fruits, and a spatial dimension.

"You mean, all these things you possess are because of a divine artifact within you?"

Green light emanated from Emperor Cangxuan's eyes.

Ying Yufu's scalp tightened, and she said, "Your Majesty, the divine artifact is one with me, and I cannot take it out."

Emperor Cangxuan: "..."

"Look at you, you're even more cunning than I am. I never intended to take it out. The divine artifact was chosen for you, there must be a reason for that. How could anyone else take it?"
