Yang Yufei broke into a very quiet and gloomy palace. The door handle was rusty, but it was not locked.

Without thinking, she pushed the door open and rushed in, then bolted it from the inside.

The wall of the palace is more than two meters high. If you don't have very good martial arts skills, it will take some effort to break into the courtyard.

The yard was lush and green. Apart from a small bluestone path leading to the old room, the flowers and trees were so dense that no air could get through. Even when the sun was shining brightly, there was almost no light coming in. It was eerie and made people feel like a thorn in their back.

Yang Yufei pricked up her ears and listened. There was no sound outside. She quietly opened the bolt and stuck behind the door to listen to the noise outside.

It was very quiet, not a sound at all.

She didn't dare to be careless and waited for another half a quarter of an hour. There was still no movement, so she planned to push the door open and walk out.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded. Yang Yufei's hair stood up all over her body. Without thinking, she ran into a room.

Before she could react to what was happening, she heard a bang under her feet, and her body lost balance and fell. After a while, she fell heavily to the ground.

The light above her head disappeared completely. She groped in the dark, rubbed her waist which was almost broken, and cursed softly.

What kind of place is this? Has she fallen into the trap set by Li Hexiong?

Restraining her fear, she took out a wooden box from her personal space and opened it. The golden light from the night pearl illuminated the secret room clearly.

When Yang Yufei saw clearly what was in the secret room, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

The secret room was filled with dozens of images and dozens of sculptures, some carved from white jade and some carved from wood.

All the pictures depicted a very beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament, wearing a thin dress, revealing her long legs and hot body curves.

What made her even more shocked was that in all the paintings, in addition to the woman she had never seen before, there was also a man.

However, she was very familiar with the appearance of this man. It was the emperor whom she would see every time she entered the palace to attend a banquet.

However, in these pictures, the emperor’s expression is not majestic, but extremely shameless.

In every painting, the emperor and the woman are close to each other in different postures, hugging each other intimately, entangled in ecstasy, and doing things that make people blush and heartbeat.

And the woman's expression is sometimes extremely painful, sometimes very happy, and sometimes full of deep affection.

The sculptures were even more revealing, with almost no clothing covering the two people, making them more realistic than the pictures.

When Yang Yufei saw the statues, a heat surged up from the soles of her feet and her whole body felt so hot that it seemed like it was about to burn.

She never expected that the emperor was such a person in private, truly embodying shamelessness and meanness to the fullest.

Yang Yufei didn't even dare to finish looking at all the sculptures and portraits, but she was driven by a strong curiosity and wanted to uncover the shameful secrets in the secret room.

Who is this woman? She has been to the palace many times, but has never seen the woman in the picture on any occasion. She should not be one of the emperor's concubines.

However, the emperor has so many images and sculptures that record things related to this woman. It is obvious that the woman in the picture is the woman the emperor deeply loves.

She lifted her skirt and continued walking in the secret room which was so spacious that the end seemed invisible, trying to find some useful clues.

Passing through all the sculptures and paintings, she finally saw a table covered with hundreds of letters that were not sealed with wax.

Next to those letters were several thick diaries.

Driven by strong curiosity, she took the diary, opened it and began to read it carefully.

Yang Yufei read very quickly. After she finished flipping through two or three diaries, she felt like she had seen a ghost. She was shaking all over, and a feeling of nausea was surging in her chest. She almost vomited her breakfast.

It turned out that the woman in the portrait was not the emperor's concubine at all, but the emperor's sister-in-law, the Crown Princess Yide, Chu Xiaoxiao, who had died in a fire twenty years ago.

The emperor had always coveted Prince Yide's woman. All the sculptures and portraits were imagined by the emperor and were also painted by him.

Chu Xiaoxiao died suddenly of the crown prince. Unable to bear the pain of losing her husband, she burned herself and the eight-month-old fetus in her belly to death in Zhaoyang Palace.

This emperor is disgusting and perverted. After so many years, he is still thinking about Xiao Chuchu and has never really let her go.

Yang Yufei felt cold all over and her scalp was numb. She didn't dare to explore these secrets any further.

If the emperor knew that she had discovered his morbid love that was hidden from the public, she would surely be executed quietly.

For the sake of her life, Yang Yufei made up her mind to leave the secret room as soon as possible.

However, she walked around the secret room several times but did not find the exit.

Yang Yufei was so nervous that her clothes were soaked with sweat. A strong sense of crisis told her that she had to hurry up, as the emperor might very likely come to the secret room.

If the emperor meets her, her life will be over.

In the imperial study, the emperor and Yao Mingjin were discussing the deployment of troops on the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Eunuch Li knocked on the door gently, walked to the emperor with a panicked look, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The emperor's face turned pale in an instant, and a strong murderous intent burst out of his eyes.

"really?"

Eunuch Li didn't even dare to face the emperor's devilish gaze, and nodded reluctantly.

"Mingjin, let's stop here for now regarding the military deployment. You should go back to Ningshou Palace to accompany your fiancée. We will discuss other matters tomorrow."

Yao Mingjin had long been concerned about Yang Yufei. When he heard the emperor say this, he immediately said happily, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After he left the imperial study, the emperor clenched his fists and said, "Let's go back to Jingxin Palace!"

Who on earth was so blind as to dare to break into Zhaoyang Palace, where there was also an entrance to a secret room. If his secrets were known to others, he would definitely execute that person and his entire family. That shameful relationship must never be revealed to the world.

Otherwise, he will be ruined.

Yao Mingjin's eyelids twitched rapidly, and his whole body felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. The intense fear and uneasiness kept growing in his heart.

"Hanlu, hurry to Ningshou Palace to see if Yufei has returned."

The emperor suddenly became murderous, could it be related to Yang Yufei?

Yao Mingjin quickened his pace and walked towards Ningshou Palace.

Hanfeng and Hanlu saw that his face was serious and there was a strong sense of tension in his eyes, and they also began to worry about Yang Yufei's safety.

"Prince, the Crown Princess will be fine, don't worry so much."
