Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 231 The fish is hooked

"Foster father, the Xiaowei found this when they were dealing with Ruan Yu's body."

Zhao Nishang rushed to the princess's mansion, exhausted. After seeing Zhao Qi'an, she presented him with something.

Zhao Qi'an took it and looked at it, and found that it was a big seal.

It was a large bronze seal, covered with green rust. There was a Qilin carved on the seal, and two words were engraved on the bottom - "Zhenhai".

"Sea-suppressing Seal?"

When Zhao Qi'an turned over the seal and saw the two words at the bottom of the seal, he was slightly stunned.

Zhao Nishang, who was standing by, saw his expression and immediately asked, "Godfather, is this a treasure?"

"It is one of the thirty-six divine weapons in the Tiangang Collection. It is naturally considered a treasure."

Zhao Qi'an groped the mark on the side of the seal with his fingers and said with his head down.

This is the famous magic weapon of Dingbo Hou and also the inherited treasure of Lingying Island.

I didn't expect that this thing would be on Ruan Yu.

If what he had guessed was correct, Lord Dingbo must have known that his time was up and had chosen the next leader for Lingying Island in advance.

However, Lingying Island is, after all, a first-rate sect in the Daqian Dynasty. Ruan Yu, who was only promoted from a seven-line Yuantai, is unlikely to enter the second-grade creation realm in his entire life.

Can such a person become the new leader of Lingying Island?

Or maybe... this Zhenhai Seal was not given to Ruan Yu by Marquis Dingbo, and its new owner might be someone else.

Zhao Qi'an thought of his father's new stepmother in Haiqing City, and a pensive look appeared on his face.

It seems that this "stepmother" of mine is more difficult to deal with than I thought.

But now Ruan Yu has died at his hands, and his head has been put into a box.

Zhao Qi'an's attitude is already very clear.

He casually handed the Zhenhai Seal to Zhao Nishang and said, "Although it is a magical weapon, it is useless to us. It can only be used by those who practice the Bi Bo Jue of Ding Bo Hou's lineage. Put it away first."

"Yes."

Zhao Nishang put away the Sea-Suppressing Seal as instructed, and then said, "I just sent someone to the Astronomical Observatory to check. Elder Nie is still reporting on his work, but General Qi tactfully asked whether the Astronomical Observatory needed an explanation from the Second Prince."

Is the Astronomical Observatory willing to come forward and speak for him?

Zhao Qi'an was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was probably the instruction of the Imperial Master.

It seems that the national teacher really cares about him this time.

He also believed that if the Imperial Master came forward to mediate, even the Second Prince would have to swallow his anger and not dare to cause trouble for Zhao Xing in Kyoto.

but……

Zhao Qi'an shook his head: "No need, it's just a small matter, there's no need to trouble the Imperial Master to come forward."

He can handle the matter of Chengping Palace by himself, so why does he need the imperial master to step in?

Before going to the legendary Mount Sumeru, he decided to avoid meeting with the Imperial Master as much as possible to prevent him from discovering any clues.

As long as he could enter Mount Xumi and find out what the Imperial Master and His Majesty had been doing over the years, it would be worth it even if he were exposed.

Just as Zhao Qi'an and Zhao Nishang were talking in front of the hall, a servant suddenly ran in from outside the hall.

"My Lord, the secret of the Heavenly Secret Pillar A is passed on. Please make your decision!"

After the servant saluted Zhao Qi'an, he quickly stepped forward and handed over a new secret letter.

Zhao Qi'an gave Zhao Nishang a wink, and she immediately understood. She quickly walked around the back of the hall and went to Zhao Qi'an's study to get the code book.

After deciphering the contents of the secret letter, Zhao Qi'an was stunned and murmured:
"The Second Imperial Concubine is out of danger... Who did it?"

……

Inside the Chengping Palace, everyone left the bedroom. Everyone's face was filled with relief for having survived the disaster, and the atmosphere between them became much more relaxed.

"This time it's really all thanks to the Second Prince."

"I didn't expect His Highness to have such an elixir in his hand. He should have taken it out as soon as possible. We have been worried for so long."

"Silence!"

Ji Haoyu was walking out of the hall. When the imperial doctors and eunuchs saw him, they all shut their mouths and came to him to congratulate him.

But at this moment, the Second Prince did not look happy, even though people around him congratulated him. Instead, he looked very nervous. He kept wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves and looking around from time to time.

"Your Highness."

When a sound came from behind him, Ji Haoyu shuddered violently.

But he knew that he would be unable to escape sooner or later, so he had no choice but to turn back.

The Fifth Marquis Qiansui stood behind him, and did not salute him. He just stared at him and asked, "Your Highness, where did you get the pills to treat the Second Imperial Concubine?"

Ji Haoyu's eyes revealed a bit of panic, and he stammered, "Yes, it was sent by my fourth brother... I don't know anything!"

The fourth prince?
The Fifth Marquis frowned immediately, then looked at Ji Haoyu's fat body trembling slightly, with sweat constantly coming out of his forehead, and he knew what was going on.

However, he said nothing and bowed, "Since the Second Imperial Concubine is out of danger, I will not linger any longer. This matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty."

"Master Wu Hou, take care."

Ji Haoyu bowed to the Fifth Marquis in return, then watched him leave.

It was not until the figure of the Fifth Marquis left the Chengping Palace that he breathed a long sigh of relief and fell to the side weakly.

Eunuch Fu behind him immediately supported him and comforted him, "Your Highness, the old ancestor is a soft-hearted person. I think even if he sees something, he can understand your painstaking efforts. You should go in and see the imperial concubine first."

"Yes, Wan'er... Wan'er!"

After being reminded by his companion, Ji Haoyu suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly lifted up his robe and ran towards the bedroom.

After he entered the bedroom, he anxiously looked towards the bed.

Qin Muwan had already sat up beside the bed, and Queen Wu was sitting beside the bed, holding a small bowl. She scooped up a spoonful of white porridge with a small spoon, blew it to her mouth, and then carefully brought it to Qin Muwan's mouth.

Qin Muwan felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't resist Queen Wu's kindness, so she had to silently drink the porridge that was brought to her mouth.

"Wan'er!"

Ji Haoyu came running over quickly with a happy look on his face.

Empress Wu placed the small bowl on a tray held by a palace maid and scolded her, "You are so impetuous, how can you be a monarch?"

But Ji Haoyu couldn't hear anything at this time. He came to the bed, squatted down and grabbed Qin Muwan's hand.

Qin Muwan's eyes were also red, and she gently stroked her bulging belly with her left hand, crying, "Your Highness, the prince is saved."

"I know I know……"

The couple hugged each other and cried for a while.

Queen Wu, who was always strict, did not say anything at this time. She just turned her head and wiped her tears silently.

After a long while, Ji Haoyu wiped his tears, stood up, and said to the palace maids and eunuchs beside him: "You all go out first."

His expression was serious, so naturally the people around him did not dare to say anything and they all left the bedroom.

When only Ji Haoyu, Qin Muwan and Queen Wu were left in the bedroom, he pulled Queen Wu aside.

"What is it? You can't say it in front of Wan'er?"

Queen Wu was somewhat dissatisfied and was about to scold her son.

But the next moment, Ji Haoyu knelt down in front of Queen Wu.
