When Li Yu slowly moved to the Qianqing Palace, he saw Wei Qingtai holding a scroll in his hand and wandering at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

"Lord Wei." Li Yu just knew that Wei Qingtai was Zimu's father. Even without Zimu's help, Li Yu had to pay his respects when meeting a minister of high rank in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Eunuch Li, what are you doing..."

"It's not a big deal for my family. I just wonder why it's so late, sir?" The meaning of Li Yu's question was very clear, especially when he saw the scroll in Wei Qingtai's hand, he understood a little bit.

I'm afraid Wei Qingtai has also discovered that with the power of the Wei family, they can't protect a daughter like that.

Not to mention that the Wei family cannot be protected, even if a person like that marries into the family of a prince or minister, it would probably be difficult to protect her.

"Hey……"

"Lord Wei, please come in with us."

"Hey, come here, Eunuch Li, let me give you a hand." Wei Qingtai reached out and helped Li Yu into the Qianqing Palace.

Li Yu limped into Qianlong's study. Before the emperor could say anything, Wang Qin began to scold him: "Li Yu, how can you serve in front of the emperor when you are limping?"

Qianlong placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table with a bang, and Wang Qin didn't dare to say anything more.

"Li Yu, go back and have a rest first." Qianlong was relieved now. He felt that if the woman in his dream could talk to him once, she could talk to him a second time.

Without Li Yu around, Qianlong felt even more annoyed with Wang Qin. He felt relieved when he saw Li Yu coming back.

Li Yu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, when I came back, I met Lord Wei Qingtai at the gate of the Qianqing Palace."

"Let Wei Qingtai in." Qianlong's eyes lit up. Wei Qingtai's arrival at this time meant that he might have found the person he wanted him to find.

"Oh, Wang Qin, go to my storehouse and give Concubine Xian a bucket of pearls that Yu clan has just paid as tribute."

"I obey your command." Wang Qin didn't think much about it and just thought that Qianlong wanted to use him again, so he left.

Qianlong stared at Wang Qin with a serious look and gave a wink to Yu Hu beside him. Yu Hu nodded and followed Wang Qin away.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor."

When Qianlong saw the scroll in Wei Qingtai's hand, his eyes lit up. He walked down and prepared to help Wei Qingtai up. "My dear minister, have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

Wei Qingtai put his head on the ground again and said in fear, "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive me."

Li Yu was well aware of the current situation, but Qianlong was confused for a moment when he saw Wei Qingtai asking for forgiveness all the time.

"Lord Wei, please stand up and speak."

"Your servant thanks the emperor." Wei Qingtai stood up and hunched his waist, not daring to look directly at Qianlong.

"I may have found the woman that the emperor asked me to find before."

"But..." Wei Qingtai hesitated to speak.

"But what? Tell me now. It's been a year. Every time I ask you, you have this expression. No matter what the result is, I will forgive you."

"But this woman has a special identity, and I don't know whether I should tell her or not." Beads of sweat appeared on Wei Qingtai's forehead, and he even pretended to tremble a few times.

Qianlong's eyes turned cold. Seeing Wei Qingtai's cautious look, he thought that the woman in his dream was already married in this life. "No matter who she is, I want to know everything about her."

Wei Qingtai gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind: "My eldest daughter Wei Yanwan looks very similar to the woman in the emperor's portrait."

After hearing this, Qianlong showed a look of surprise on his face, but soon regained his composure. The daughter of a noble family in the Imperial Household Department was supposed to participate in the Imperial Household Department's selection.

Qianlong was relieved, narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Qingtai deeply and asked, "You have had the portrait for a year, why did you tell me today?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My daughter is only fourteen years old this year. She only looked a little similar before, but now..."

"What's the situation now?" Qianlong asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, I am your servant, but I am not sure whether my eldest daughter is the one your Majesty is looking for. I am even more afraid... my family has only produced such a girl in three generations..."

Wei Qingtai didn't finish his words, but just looked at Qianlong nervously.

Qianlong also thought of the endless underworld tricks in the harem. He pondered for a moment, nodded, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, where is your daughter on duty?"

"My daughter is on duty in the library, Your Majesty..."

"Wait until tomorrow to confirm, I will give you a reward, my dear, please go back first."

After Wei Qingtai left, Qianlong asked Li Yu, who seemed to be invisible, "Li Yu, what was Wei Qingtai doing when you saw him?"

"Your Majesty, when I came back, Lord Wei was walking around anxiously in the palace corridor not far from the Qianqing Palace, sighing as he turned around."

"Wei Qingtai loves his daughter dearly, otherwise he would have come to claim credit a year ago."

"The emperor said so."

"You can go and rest when Wang Qin comes back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

[Dear, the scum dragon is coming, dear, be ready]

After the morning court session, Qianlong changed his clothes and couldn't wait to lead his people to the library.

Qianlong asked the others to stay at the door and went into the library. After carefully searching among the bookshelves for a while, he saw a woman reading in the light by the window.

After Zimu complained to Rongtuan about the scumbag Dragon in his heart, he put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf.

When he was climbing up the ladder, his foot slipped and he was about to fall, but Qianlong caught him.

After Zimu calmed down, he quickly jumped out of Zhalong's arms.

"Thank you." Zimu looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared in confusion.

After seeing Zimu's face, Qianlong's breathing became much faster, because Zimu's face was three times more beautiful than the portrait he had painted.

Zimu looked at Zhalong in front of him, who was wearing a royal blue gown. He had a handsome face and an elegant temperament.

Qianlong saw the innocence in Zimu's eyes and smiled slightly. As if he was afraid of scaring her, he said softly: "You are the maid of the library. Why are you the only one on duty here?"

"After the maids finished cleaning, they went back. Not many people come here often. I was really bored so I secretly came to the library to read." After explaining, Zimu frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why didn't you make a sound after you came in?"

"I won't tell you who I am yet. I can only tell you that I have been looking for you for a long time, and today I finally found you."

Zimu looked at him in surprise, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Qianlong smiled mysteriously: "It doesn't matter who I am. Have you heard that the emperor is looking for a woman who has a three-life relationship with him?"

Zi Mu was shocked and said, "I once heard my mother say this when I met my family before, what does it have to do with me?"

Qianlong handed a round jade pendant to Zimu. He paused in the air for a long time. Seeing that Zimu had no intention of taking it, he continued, "The emperor gave this jade pendant to the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the pattern in the dream. He said that as long as I find the woman in the dream, he will let me teach her the jade pendant and let her take it to see him."

"I believe you are the woman in the emperor's dream."

Zimu shook his head and said firmly: "I am not."

Qianlong raised his eyebrows and stuffed the jade pendant directly into Zimu's hand, then turned around and left quickly, leaving Zimu holding the jade pendant in his hand with an embarrassed look on his face.
