This made her burst into laughter, without any trace of princess reserve.

Chapter 49 Oil Painting

Among the royal family members, such a direct and straightforward conversation basically only occurred between Feilin and the eldest prince.

At least everyone had to maintain a harmonious appearance on the surface and avoid falling out with each other.

But Feilin is different from the eldest prince. As the emperor gets older, the conflict between the two will only become more and more prominent.

"Ahem, ahem... Feilin, it's only been a few days since we last met, but you seem to be much more capable. I heard you have a pretty good adventurer under you."

After the eldest prince coughed violently, he finally got to the point.

After hearing what her brother said, Feilin immediately understood what he meant.

At the same time, he began to guess what interests of his brother had been affected by him so that he had to come to him and say such words in person.

"Indeed, there are quite a few capable adventurers returning from that island. The four major families are trying their best to recruit them. Isn't it normal for me to recruit a few people?"

Feilin smiled and tried to pass the matter over lightly.

Since the eldest prince has come, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the eldest prince has already figured out Ye Qing's situation, and this visit was to warn Feilin and hint that she should not overstep her boundaries.

The second possibility is that they have no idea about Ye Qing's background, but only know that Feilin has a capable adventurer under his command.

"Well, well, if that's the case, how about introducing this adventurer to me?"

After saying this, Feilin still had that calm expression, without any emotion on her face.

The eldest prince sat up slightly, holding the griffin-headed cane with both hands, and a light appeared in his gloomy eyes.

These two short sentences are a game between the two parties.

Feilin had a calm smile on her face. Compared to her brother's nervousness, she looked quite relaxed.

"Then you have to mention the name. Otherwise, with so many people under you, I really don't know which one you are talking about."

Having said that, I have basically made myself clear.

The eldest prince's attitude showed that he came here just to test and take people, and naturally he meant to threaten Feilin.

Feilin simply pretended not to know. No matter how the eldest prince tested her, she kept saying that she knew nothing. She just didn't know, which made the eldest prince feel cold.

"Then I hope you take good care of yourself, Feilin."

The eldest prince did not say anything more. He just left this sentence and left the garden with the androgynous attendant.

Feilin was left in the courtyard, watching her brother leave with a smile on her face.

This was the first time that Feilin, who had rarely gained any benefits from her brother, was able to make her brother suffer a setback.

Not long after, the door of the small room where Ye Qing was waiting was pushed open.

"Zero, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Feilin walked in with a smile on her face. Ye Qing was stunned to see her coming in alone.

Feilin, who usually brings this personal maid with her, can actually be alone in a room with me without worry. Is this the benefit of a 95% favorability rating?

Ye Qing did not relax because she knew very well what kind of person Feilin was.

No matter what attitude you show on the surface, you always need to be wary of her setting a trap.

"Your Highness Feilin, your words are really embarrassing to me."

Ye Qing waved his hands repeatedly and stood up to welcome Feilin in.

Feilin let Ye Qing hold her hand without any resistance. It seemed quite natural, as if they were good friends who had known each other for many years.

After sitting back at the table, Feilin asked before Ye Qing could speak.

"Zero, did you get anything from the envelope you exchanged from me earlier?"

The envelope that Feilin was referring to was naturally the Demon King's invitation letter. Judging from the current situation, she did not know what the specific use of the invitation letter was.

When Ye Qing came to exchange today, Feilin was also a little confused. Why didn't she use so many contribution points to exchange for precious treasures, but instead exchanged them for an inconspicuous "envelope".

She is also a smart person. Although she herself does not understand, the person who has been replaced will naturally understand.

Ye Qing was also thinking whether it was appropriate to tell Feilin about matters related to the Demon King now.

After a brief thought, she prepared some words.

"Once that envelope was opened..."

Apart from Morgan and the process of fighting monsters, Ye Qing told Feilin everything else.

There was also a huge statue in that palace, but it was something that Ye Qing couldn't remember.

It would be best if I could get an answer from Feilin.

"Palace, statue? Zero, come with me."

After listening to Ye Qing's description, Feilin frowned slightly, as if she remembered something.

Seeing this, Ye Qing followed. With Princess Feilin leading the way, no one in the entire inner hall dared to stop Ye Qing.

Speaking of which, Ye Qing has always found it strange that the entire imperial structure of the Shiro Empire is a rather strange arrangement.

According to her memory, the part close to the center of the imperial capital was a complex of buildings consisting of outer halls and inner halls.

The Outer Hall is mainly a place for granting titles and for players to "see" the greatness of the empire. In nature, it is a place for handling less important public affairs.

The inner hall is where the royal family members live, and there are also advanced "NPCs" serving them in various fields.

Feilin and the eldest prince also live in the inner hall, so the question is, where is the emperor?

When Ye Qing first learned about it, he was somewhat surprised at the true power of the Hiro Empire.

"We're here. This is the inner hall's large library. Ye Qing, follow me. Don't get lost in here."

Feilin was quite serious when she said this, and Ye Qing nodded to indicate that he would definitely follow closely.

The reason is simple: the large library in the inner hall is really a "maze".

Except for those with a pass or royal blood, anyone who enters rashly will not only be unable to read the books inside, but will also get lost due to the ever-changing terrain.

In the past, some players had rashly entered and even tried to steal books from inside, but they naturally ended in failure.

When Feilin reached out and gently touched the door of the library, the quaint brown door slowly opened.

The dazzling light drowned out the two figures. When the light faded away, Ye Qing found himself in a familiar place.

The ground beneath his feet was as bright as flowing water, and around him were rows of tall bookshelves filled with countless classics.

"If I remember correctly, it should be here..."

Feilin walked forward slowly, holding a blue gem in her hand, as if she was moving forward according to the guidance of the light.

As Feilin continued to walk forward, Ye Qing naturally noticed the "classics" on the surrounding bookshelves.

Without a doubt, the most useful things for players are those skill books that shine with golden light.

Ordinary skill books are fine, but epic skill books become difficult to obtain, and legendary skill books are even more difficult to obtain.

If one could take a legendary skill book from the royal library, it would definitely be enough for ordinary players.

Soon, Feilin brought Ye Qing to the place.

On the huge bookshelf in front of the two people, there was a painting covered with a black cloth, as if to avoid some kind of food. There were also two holy light talismans hanging on both sides of the painting.

Such a scene made Ye Qing curious about what kind of painting it was.

She had never seen this painting before, and she had not fully understood the mystery of the royal library.

"Your Highness Feilin, what is this?"

Ye Qing observed Feilin's reaction before asking.

She was a little worried that Feilin would change her mind when she got here, but Feilin had a more complicated expression on her face.

"When I was a child, I saw my father carefully examining this painting. But for some reason, he never looked at it again and kept it in the royal library."

When talking about the huge palace, statues, and towering stairs, Feilin naturally thought of this painting.

Although she had only seen it in her childhood, it left a deep impression on her.

"Can you remove this black cloth?"

After hearing Feilin say this, Ye Qing naturally wanted to see what kind of painting was covered under the black cloth.

"Of course, I brought you here just to show you this painting."

Feilin nodded, then slowly raised the sapphire and waved it in front of the painting.

The black cloth slowly fell, and when the painting appeared in front of Ye Qing, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It was the same towering staircase and huge palace, but the statues above the stairs were completely different.

What Ye Qing saw before was a person leaning forward and half-kneeling on the ground, like a defensive giant.

But at this moment, the painting showed a gigantic demon roaring towards the sky, with wings covering the sky.

"Yes...it is indeed this palace, but that statue is not like that!"

Ye Qing nodded. The palace in the painting in front of him was exactly the palace he had seen before!

In this comparison, the demon roaring to the sky is probably the defensive statue.

"Zero, are you sure?"

At this time, Feilin's pupils had unconsciously turned vertical, and her breathing became heavy.

Ye Qing nodded after noticing this, and then noticed that the camera set up in the game could be used, so he secretly took a picture of the painting.

"Yes, Princess, cover the painting."

Feilin naturally waved the sapphire again, and the black cloth covered the painting again. The disappeared runes reappeared and sealed it.

After the two left the Royal Library, Feilin's condition gradually returned to normal.

Back in Feilin's reception room, the personal maid brought them hot tea, then closed the door again, leaving the place to the two of them.

Feilin looked a little tired and took a sip of the hot tea.

"Your Highness Feilin, there is one more thing I need to ask you."

Chapter 50 Night Talk

"Please go ahead, Zero."

Feilin put down the teacup, with only a gentle smile in her eyes.

It seemed that in front of Ye Qing, she could let go of her extreme guard against other people.

This is the unreasonable part about the favorability in the game. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to gain such trust from someone even if you talk your mouth off.

But after completing two difficult tasks, Ye Qing "naturally" gained Feilin's trust.

"Your Highness Feilin, are you still planning to join forces with a few powerful officials to revolt?"

Ye Qing came here just to ask this question.

She also deliberately changed the wording, replacing rebellion with uprising, in order to avoid Feilin's bad feelings as much as possible.

She had to confirm Feilin's current intentions, whether she wanted to maintain the current situation or was already planning a rebellion.

Now that he is in the Feilin camp, Ye Qing has only two choices.

Helping Feilin to rebel or trying to persuade her, either one is extremely difficult and risky.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Feilin didn't get too excited or refute Ye Qing. She just smiled and put down the teacup in her hand.

"Although I don't know how you knew this, Zero, I am indeed prepared. Zero, are you here for this?"

"Your Highness, I want to know what your plans are, so to speak."

When Ye Qing asked this question, he was already prepared for his favorability to decline.

But to her surprise, Feilin's favorability did not decrease, but even increased a little.
