Chapter 248 Never Treat People Badly

As soon as he entered the imperial city, the noise from the outside world was immediately blocked, and he felt a sense of loneliness.

Li Xuan couldn't help but look back at the heavy Tongming Gate.

"Is this how people outside the palace feel when they are sent in?"

At this moment, Li Xuan also understood why some people are willing to give up their wealth and glory and choose to live freely in the world.

Although this palace looks magnificent, it lacks many worldly pleasures.

But fortunately, Li Xuan still has Princess Ankang and Yu'er here.

If it were the other way around, Princess Ankang and Yu'er would be outside the imperial city, and Li Xuan would have to stay inside the imperial city...

"No wonder there are so many unhappy talents in Yanqu Palace."

Thinking of those teenage girls, who were frowning all day long and dealing with unwilling training one by one, even if they could be favored and named concubines in the future, they would never experience many joys again.

Li Xuan was fine. No matter where he was, the most important thing was to be with Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

At this time, Shang, the steward who was driving the carriage, reached back and touched Li Xuan, who was staring at the Tongming Gate in a daze.

"Ah Xuan, you will feel the same way, right?"

"Even though I have been in and out of the palace countless times, every time I feel like I am separated by two worlds."

"It's like the palace and the outside world are two different worlds."

Li Xuan also meowed, and he did feel the same way.

After entering the palace, the convoy drove all the way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then delivered the purchased items.

These items will be temporarily stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the corresponding items will be sent to various places in the palace according to the registered information.

When Li Xuan came back, he asked Shang, the steward, to buy some things as gifts for Princess Ankang and Yu'er, which were now stored in his Dihong bone ring.

It's just that he was a little rushed on the way because of the mission, and he didn't have time to choose gifts for them, so the gifts he brought were a little casual.

"Ah Xuan, this is a serious matter."

"Let's go to Ganlu Hall to meet His Majesty first."

Shang Zongguan handed over the task of purchasing materials and storing them in the warehouse to someone else, and then let Li Xuan step on his shoulder and rush to Ganlu Hall.

Li Xuan also knew that it would be better to hand over the account book to Emperor Yongyuan as soon as possible.

They took so much effort last night not to disturb the people at the Siyun Grain Shop, wasn't it just to buy more time for Emperor Yongyuan to make arrangements for the next step?

The two rushed all the way to Ganlu Hall, and after being passed on by someone, they were summoned by Emperor Yongyuan.

When Li Xuan and Shang Zongguan came in together, Emperor Yongyuan had just finished the morning court and was changing clothes.

The dragon robe he wore when he went to court was more formal, mainly red, supplemented by gold, and embellished with various rare gems, embellishing a red dragon shadow.

This dragon robe was obviously more cumbersome than the one Emperor Yongyuan wore in Ganlu Hall on weekdays, so the first thing Emperor Yongyuan did after the morning court was to change clothes.

After Shang Zongguan led Li Xuan into Ganlu Hall, he stood silently in front of the table.

Emperor Yongyuan immediately winked, and the trusted eunuchs who served him to change clothes immediately sped up their hands, and did not bother to fold the dragon robe and put it away. After hurriedly taking it off from Emperor Yongyuan, they put on the red dragon robe he usually wore and hurriedly left.

"How is the matter going?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked before he sat down.

Although his expression and tone were still calm, it was still possible to see how much he cared about this matter.

"Your Majesty, Ah Xuan has fulfilled his mission."

"Without alerting the other party, we got all the account books."

Shang Zongguan winked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan immediately understood, jumped onto Emperor Yongyuan's table, and with a flick of his tail, he took out the ten thick account books from the Emperor Hong bone ring and neatly arranged them on the table.

When Li Xuan jumped onto Emperor Yongyuan's desk for the first time, both Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng were panicked.

But when he jumped onto it the second time, Shang Zongguan was no longer surprised and had no worries at all.

The same was true for Emperor Yongyuan, or it should be said that his attention was all on the ten account books.

"Is this the real account book of the Siyun Grain Store?"

Emperor Yongyuan picked up one and flipped through it.

"Your Majesty, the account book is recorded in code. I'm afraid it needs to be deciphered to see the real content."

Shang Zongguan reported in time.

"Is that so?"

"Send the account book to Lijing Gate immediately and let Tang Nu decipher it as soon as possible."

Emperor Yongyuan then flipped through a few pages of the account book and gave such instructions.

At this moment, someone suddenly responded:

"I will obey your order."

This sudden voice startled Li Xuan, and he found that it was Wang Xi, the eunuch in charge of the lamp of Emperor Yongyuan, who came forward, picked up all the account books on the table, and hurried out of Ganlu Hall.

Wang Xi's sudden appearance made Li Xuan a little confused.

"Was he here just now?"

Li Xuan blinked his eyes and recalled carefully, but found that he didn't notice Wang Xi's existence at all.

Even by smell, he couldn't tell.

"Even his own smell is blocked?"

"What a terrifying breath-hiding method!"

Li Xuan sighed as he looked at the short and strong figure that was about to disappear outside the door.

He had discovered that the eunuchs who could live to old age in the palace were all masters of their craft.

After Wang Xi left, Emperor Yongyuan continued to say to Shang Zongguan:

"Tell me everything in detail."

Emperor Yongyuan stretched out his finger and rubbed Li Xuan's forehead, with a smile on his face.

It seemed that he was very satisfied with the current result.

Then Shang Zongguan told him about what happened yesterday in detail.

He also mentioned the details of Li Xuan's infiltration into the Siyun Grain Store to Shang Zongguan later, so Shang Zongguan could tell the whole story from beginning to end.

When Emperor Yongyuan heard that the shopkeeper and the clerk of the Siyun Grain Store had escaped by taking advantage of the fire, his eyes narrowed.

He also understood at this time that if there had been a mistake last night, those account books would probably have been burned to ashes.

"Catching mice is a good trick. Prepare more in the future."

Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan and said affirmatively.

Speaking of this, Li Xuan quickly took a pen and paper, wrote a few lines, and asked Emperor Yongyuan about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

Li Xuan had not had time to catch mice for experiments yet, but there was someone who knew more about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring in front of him, so he thought of asking Emperor Yongyuan directly.

Seeing the content on the paper, Emperor Yongyuan did not hide it and explained to him directly:

"What you are holding now is a single feather ring. If you put a living object in it, it will die in a moment."

"The same is true for people with strong cultivation."

Hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he thought to himself:

"Is it a dead end to lock up a first-grade in? Then wouldn't this be a killer!"

Emperor Yongyuan knew what Li Xuan was thinking when he saw his expression.

"Don't take it for granted. A single feather ring can't absorb a master."

"You should have felt it when you caught the mouse before?"

"It takes a lot of effort to absorb a resisting creature."

"A single feather ring can only absorb a kitten or puppy that doesn't resist at most, and it can't even fit a child."

Emperor Yongyuan explained patiently.

He knew more about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, and this was just common sense to him.

"If a living creature is absorbed into the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, it will die within a quarter of an hour, and the moment it is absorbed, the living creature will lose consciousness and fall into a coma."

But then, Emperor Yongyuan changed his tone.

"But this is only for living creatures. If it is a corpse, as long as there is enough space, it can be stuffed in, and it is very easy."

"As for the principle behind this, it may be related to life."

At this point, Emperor Yongyuan's answer became uncertain.

But his words have already given Li Xuan enough information.

But after hearing this explanation, Li Xuan couldn't help but have more questions.

He then wrote a sentence on the paper.

"After the Emperor Hong bone ring is fused, can it absorb living things and keep them alive?"

When Emperor Yongyuan saw this question, his eyes flashed. He didn't expect Li Xuan's thinking to be so sensitive and he immediately caught the key in his words.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yongyuan nodded.

"Of course it can be."

"Legend has it that there is a country in the body of Emperor Hong, and many lives exist in it."

"Even in ancient times, some people speculated that the world we are in now may also be in the body of an Emperor Hong."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect Emperor Hong to be so powerful.

If this legend is true, then Emperor Hong's grade is not as terrifying as the Creation Beast.

"There is a small world hidden in the body..."

Li Xuan didn't dare to imagine what that situation was like.

It just made him understand more clearly that Emperor Hong's inheritance might make people crazier than he expected.

"Who wouldn't want such power?"

"Of the ten Emperor Hong bone rings, Daxing has occupied three, so who has the remaining seven?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he became more concerned about the Emperor Hong bone ring.

"If I can get the inheritance of Emperor Hong, it won't be a problem to take the two little girls and travel the world."

Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan with shining eyes, smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was calm.

The chief steward Shang below shook his head secretly, thinking that His Majesty was playing tricks on the little cat again.

This is also a habit of Emperor Yongyuan. He always subconsciously guides the other party's desires in his behavior.

At this time, Chief Steward Shang coughed dryly, and then asked:

"Your Majesty, the shopkeeper and the clerk of the Siyun Grain Shop, I have sent people to keep an eye on them. Do you need to take further action?"

On these issues, Chief Steward Shang will not be confused, and his actions can be said to be flawless.

Even Li Xuan, who had been with him, didn't know when Shang had ordered people to follow the two people.

Emperor Yongyuan sneered at this.

"They are just insignificant people."

"Take them back, there is no need to alert the enemy."

Emperor Yongyuan was determined to send the two people away.

Shang immediately accepted the order without any doubt.

"Ah Xuan, you did a good job this time."

"I never treat my own people badly..."

In the middle of the sentence, Emperor Yongyuan saw Li Xuan looking at him expectantly, and finally added the second half of the sentence.

"... and cats."
