Qiao Nan grew up with Baili Qianyou. Seeing her pensive look, he sensed that she was not as relaxed as she looked, and was even under pressure she had never experienced before.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with that?"

"I'm not sure. I have a hunch that Emperor Bei Yan is not as kind and compromising as he seems. He may have a bigger conspiracy."

Baili Qianyou pondered.

"Then let's leave the palace today to avoid falling into their trap."

Qiao Nan was a little anxious.

“If you leave the palace today, you may not have the chance to come back next time.

His plan is probably the same as what I think.

We searched for two days but still couldn't find Chen Guiren's residence or any news about her. It was as if she didn't exist.

I guess, without the guidance of someone in the palace, or the instruction of Emperor Beiyan, we might not be able to contact this person.

I asked Yan Zhi and the Queen Mother about this person, and they were not aware of the existence of such a woman in the harem."

"How could this be? It's been rumored all over Beiyan that a noble lady was born in a small fishing village, and Jishui Village also rose to prominence because of this. Why is there no trace of this person in the palace? This doesn't make sense!"

"Yes! It is indeed unreasonable."

"Could it be that there is no such noble person at all?"

"But what about the Chen family in Jishui Village? It's impossible for living people to suddenly disappear for no reason.

Also, where is the secret room? I haven't seen anything strange in the palace these past two days."

"Yeah! Since it's a secret room, it must be hard to find."

"Yes, now that the old emperors of the Three Kingdoms are dead, even if the new emperor has the key card in his hand, he may not be able to find the location of the secret room. This is probably why Emperor Beiyan dared to use the key card to bribe Emperor Dongcang. Now it seems that perhaps only he knows where the secret room is. Even if we have collected all four key cards, we still need him to access the so-called secret room. This is his trump card and confidence."

"Does he want to monopolize the treasure in the secret room?"

Qiao Nan had to think very hard to keep up with Qian You's thoughts.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hug her arms.

"If you had guarded the treasure for so many years, wouldn't you also think that it belonged to you alone? This is a common weakness of human nature, and it's not surprising."

"Then the agreement between the four countries is void, right?"

"There is no restriction of the laws of heaven and earth, it is just a verbal agreement. Moreover, the secret room has been forgotten with the death of the first generation over the years. The other three countries are not guarding the real thing, just a key plate. They think the treasure is an illusory concept, more like a legend, and they are not very obsessed with it."

"Unlike Emperor Bei Yan, who guards the secret room every day, but cannot open it and possess it, yet is obsessed with it?"

"Exactly."

"Then are you in danger?"

Qiao Nan woke up immediately and looked around as well.

"Not now. They are probably still unsure whether I have any connection with the previous dynasty. They don't want to offend the Three Kingdoms unnecessarily because of my identity. We are safe for now."

The conversation between the two disappeared in the wind.

The people watching from a distance only saw two lazy women leaning against the high wall, gazing at the scenery of the royal capital, whispering from time to time, as if they were admiring the magnificent scenery of Beiyan Imperial City and the royal capital.

In the imperial study room.

Someone reported Baili Qianyou's whereabouts to Emperor Beiyan from time to time. At this moment, he was listening to the message received by Eunuch Liu. Baili Qianyou asked to go to the Dali Temple prison.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the prison is not suitable for Miss Baili to see, right?"

Eunuch Liu asked cautiously, his drooping eyelids secretly looking at Emperor Bei Yan's face.

"Let them change the cell and promise to let her go free, then everyone should just cooperate with her."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

Baili Qianyou and Qiaomu Qiaonan walked into the Dali Temple together. People they met along the way bowed to her. The three of them were taken to the deepest part and walked down the stairs. A damp feeling hit them in the face.

The cell was very quiet, without the screaming and crying that one might have imagined.

There were two rows of cells facing each other, each of which was not very big. Iron chains as thick as wrists were used to lock up unrecognizable people, who were huddled in various postures in the corners, indifferent to the outside world.

Unexpectedly, the two cells at the innermost part belonged to Zhenguo Hou Shi Hai and his adopted son Yin Jie.

Baili Qianyou stopped in front of two cells. He did not rush to ask the guards to open the cell doors. Instead, he gently sniffed the air here.

It was damp and cold, but not mixed with the smell of human life, unlike the cells we just passed by, all of which were mixed with traces of prison food and excrement.

It was not long after lunch time at this moment, and the air circulation in the dungeon was slow, and the smell had not yet completely dissipated.

She understood in her heart, and her eyes were calm.

In the prison, Shi Hai was wearing a middle-aged shirt, iron chains on his feet, and sitting on a pile of weeds with a stern face, waiting for her to come in for a "visit".

Baili Qianyou stopped and the jailer was about to step forward to open the cell door, but she raised her hand to stop him.

Through the thick fence, their eyes met. Shi Hai stared at Baili Qianyou's calm eyes, and the two of them exchanged glances.

Less than half an incense stick of time passed, and Shi Hai began to feel hesitant.

His eyes trembled unconsciously, and his shoulders slumped a little. He had already prepared a lot of countermeasures, but now it seemed that they were useless.

A quarter of an hour passed, a full quarter of an hour, and the atmosphere in the cell became even more gloomy. Finally, Shi Hai could not help it, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Baili Qianyou gave him a contemptuous look, turned around and walked back.

"Bring Yin Jie out. I want to interrogate him alone."

Qiao Mu and Qiao Nan followed closely behind. They glanced at the two jailers who followed them, knowing that they would definitely obey. They followed Qian You calmly, climbed the stairs and returned to the ground.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a transparent single room was set up. Yin Jie was brought into the room. Qiao Nan stood at the door and drove away the jailer who was planning to guard nearby.

"Yin Jie, what have you done all these years? I saved your life, and this is how you repay me?"

All the resentment and resentment that Qiao Mu had been feeling for a while completely erupted when he saw Yin Jie's familiar yet unfamiliar face.

He swung his fist hard and hit him on the left side of the face.

Yin Jie endured it silently, without any resistance or protest.

"Qiao Mu, sit down."

Qian You spoke up to stop Qiao Mu's rage.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, Yin Jie has nothing to say."

Yin Jie knelt on his knees.

Yin Jie felt guilty towards Qianmai Palace.

It is a gang organization, and he has witnessed its growth over the past five or six years.

Qiao Mu not only saved his life, but also cared for him like a brother.

Especially Qian You, who had shown unparalleled intelligence and talent since he was ten years old, and he was deeply impressed.

"Yin Jie, we can write off the past from the moment you revealed your identity and took me away from Qingshan."

"what?"

Yin Jie had prepared a lot of apologies and various excuses, waiting for her questioning, but without saying a word, everything was forgotten. He was still a little confused.
