The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 80 Madam, you don't want others to know your secret, right?
"You!" Li Qingluo gritted her teeth but did not dare to move. The enemy had too many people, armed with crossbows, and their attire was mixed. Even their uniforms were slightly different, making her unsure of where they came from.

"Aren't you from the Suzhou government?"

"How dare you!" Tong Guan shouted, "This is the current Prince of Yan. You are such a daring country woman who doesn't know how to live or die. Tell them to put down their swords and pay homage to the Prince of Yan. Otherwise, I will shoot them all and then investigate the Suzhou Wang family for the crime of arresting thieves!"

"King Yan?" Li Qingluo was stunned, confused and uncertain.

"If you don't put down your weapons, I will shoot you all!" Sun Tong shouted loudly, and he heard the crossbow strings in the soldiers' hands tightened, making an obscure "squeaking" sound as if they could not bear it anymore and were about to explode.

Li Qingluo's eyes were blank for a moment. The imperial court was too far away from her, too high and out of reach. Even the Suzhou government was not something she could easily contact. She relied on the Wang family's connections to be able to make some contact.

She couldn't help but breathe heavily, knowing in her heart what the prince of the current dynasty represented. Let alone Suzhou, even the pacification envoy of Liangzhe Road and the provincial governor were far less virtuous and respected than the other party, who was a royal prince and a descendant of the royal family.

“Everyone, put down your weapons…” Li Qingluo’s face turned pale.

"Husband, Madam..." The maids on both sides trembled.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to put it down?" Li Qingluo's voice was suppressed and slightly hoarse.

The maids threw their swords and knives on the ground one after another, their hearts in panic. They all lowered their heads, and their hands, without weapons, had no place to put them, and they could not help but tense up.

"What are you all standing there for? Come over and pay your respects to His Majesty the King!" Tong Guan said again in a shrill voice.

Li Qingluo gritted her teeth, glanced at the hundreds of crossbows pointed at her, and walked down the bow step by step, followed by the maids.

After paying respects at the front, Li Qingluo said with an unpleasant expression, "I wonder...what instructions does the King of Yan have for visiting my manor?"

Zhao Ti looked at Li Qingluo carefully, smiled and said, "I have a friend who knows some things about Madam's family. I am curious, so I came to take a look."

Li Qingluo was stunned: "I don't know what it is?"

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Li Qingluo was stunned for a moment and said, "It's my fault. Please go to the manor to have tea, Prince Yan. I will lead the way."

Zhao Ti saw Li Qingluo cautiously leading the way to the side, raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked with his hands behind his back, followed by Tong Guan and others.

After walking for a while, they saw a temple in front of them. Zhao Ti glanced at Li Qingluo and said, "My friend said that there is a Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa on Taihu Lake in Suzhou."

Li Qingluo's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and her body suddenly stopped: "Your Highness, there is no jade cave in my house. Your Highness's friend must have remembered it wrongly, right?"

Zhao Ti sneered, Li Qingluo pursed her lips, and went into the temple. Zhao Ti sat down and looked around. The temple was still decorated with Dali camellia flowers.

"Your Highness King Yan, I'll go make some tea..." Li Qingluo said with her eyes flashing.

"You don't have to drink the tea." Zhao Ti said, "My friend said that there are many martial arts books hidden in the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa. I came here to take a look."

"Your Highness, this is absolutely not the case..." Li Qingluo said cautiously, "Did your friend remember it wrongly?"

Zhao Ti looked at her and said, "Madam, do you think... is there anyone in this world who dares to bring wrongdoings to this prince?"

"This..." Li Qingluo was confused. It was impossible for her to offer the martial arts of Langhuan Jade Cave, but seeing that the other party's tone did not allow for rebuttal and was determined to win, she did not know what to do for a moment.

"Your Highness, I really don't have any martial arts books at home." Li Qingluo thought to herself that if it really didn't work, she would just delay it. Her adoptive father Ding Chunqiu had already come to Mantuo Villa a few days ago, and she didn't know what he was doing out now. It would be better to wait for him to come back and make a decision.

Zhao Ti shook his head: "Madam, do you want to delay time and wait for someone?"

Li Qingluo was shocked: "I have never thought about this."

Zhao Ti said: "I can actually force my way to the Jade Cave, but I don't know if you have any traps there, and I don't want to cause any casualties to the soldiers."

"Your Highness, there is indeed no one in my farm..."

"Madam, I have a friend. I think you recognize him." Zhao Ti said leisurely, "He lives in Dali. He is from the royal family of the Duan clan. His name is... Duan Zhengchun."

"Ah?" Li Qingluo's face suddenly changed when she heard this: "What did the Prince of Yan say?" Zhao Ti smiled slightly: "Dali Zhennan Prince Duan Zhengchun, he told me everything."

Li Qingluo's face turned pale, and her mind was in turmoil. The person in front of her was the King of Yan of the Song Dynasty. He might indeed recognize the Dali royal family. She couldn't help but mutter, "He, he...what did he say?"

Zhao Ti said slowly, "Madam, you have a daughter, right? When was her birth date? Don't you know it? Do you need me to continue?"

"This..." Li Qingluo took two steps back after hearing this, holding the edge of the flower table with her hands: "He, he actually sent someone to my place? Why don't I know why he refused to see me? Is he still blaming me, blaming me for being cruel and ruthless and killing innocent people..."

Zhao Ti shook his head: "Madam, you don't want these secrets to be known by your daughter or the Wang family, right?"

"I..." Li Qingluo was speechless, her face ashen.

"Let's not talk about reputation, or how you will face your daughter after she knows about it, or how she will face others. Let's just say that if the Wang family finds out, you and your daughter will probably..."

"I, you..." Li Qingluo's face was pale. She knew too well how the wealthy families dealt with such things. She was afraid that she would be killed without a burial place. Under normal circumstances, she could just walk away, but now it was difficult to run away.

Zhao Ti stood up and said, "I have no right to bother with your nonsense. Why don't you lead the way to the Langhuan Jade Cave!"

"Yes, Your Highness..." Li Qingluo was absent-minded for a moment, and walked out like a puppet. All she wanted now was to send the Prince of Yan away as soon as possible. Not to mention showing him the martial arts of the Langhuan Jade Cave, even if, even if it was some other things... she would agree to it.

When they went out, it was still not late and Li Qingluo felt uneasy.

The Langhuan Jade Cave is located in the most secluded place of Mantuo Villa. If you don’t have someone who knows the way to lead the way, it will take a long time to find it if you search for it alone.

After walking along the path for a while, I passed several rows of courtyards and entered a flower forest. There was also a road in the flower forest. At this time, a figure appeared in front.

Zhao Ti looked and saw a young girl in a lotus-colored gauze shirt, her face facing the blossoming trees. She had a slender figure, and her long hair was draped over her vest, gently tied up with a silver ribbon. There seemed to be a light mist around her, and she looked otherworldly.

The girl was picking flower petals. She turned her head when she heard the voice. Zhao Ti saw that the girl looked almost identical to the stunning jade statue in the stone cave of Wuliang Mountain. Except for her clothes, there was no difference between them. It was as if the jade statue was resurrected.

The jade statue is charming and lively, and quite enchanting, while the girl in front of him is dignified yet childish, like a solitary orchid in a valley, with fairy-like beauty.

"Mom, you're back?" The girl spoke, her voice soft and pleasant, very nice to hear.

Li Qingluo's eyes flickered as she looked at Zhao Ti: "Yan'er, come and meet me..."

Zhao Ti said calmly: "Madam's daughter?"

Li Qingluo whispered, "Little Queen Yuyan."

The girl came over to pay her respects. Zhao Ti smiled and nodded, saying, "Madam, please continue to lead the way."

Li Qingluo took a deep breath and continued to walk forward, followed closely by Tong Guan and his group.

The girl looked at the backs of the crowd, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.

After reaching the innermost part of the flower forest and walking around for a few times, he pulled a mechanism on a camellia tree, and suddenly a door appeared on the wall of the hill behind him.

Li Qingluo said, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Zhao Ti looked at everyone and said, "Daofu, follow me. The others stay outside. Send a signal if there is anything."

Everyone received the order, and Zhao Ti followed Li Qingluo inside. After dozens of breaths, the view became clear. They saw that the Langhuan Jade Cave was quite spacious, with pearls embedded in the walls and candles illuminating it, making it very bright.

Li Qingluo said, "There are many books in the Langhuan Jade Cave. Which one would Prince Yan want to read?"

Zhao Ti glanced across the rows of bookshelves and asked, "Where is the Little Wuxiang Gong?"
