Stepping into the imperial city, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is immediately blocked, making people feel a sense of loneliness.
Li Xuan couldn't help but look back at the thick transparent door.
"Is this how people from outside the palace feel when they are brought in?"
At this moment, Li Xuan also somewhat understood why some people were willing to give up their glory and wealth and choose to live freely in the world.
Although this palace looks magnificent, it lacks many human pleasures.
But fortunately, Li Xuan also has Princess Ankang and Yu'er here.
If it were the other way around, Princess Ankang and Yu'er were outside the imperial city, but Li Xuan had to stay in the imperial city...
"No wonder there are many depressed and talented people in Yanqu Palace."
Thinking of those teenage girls, who spend their whole day looking sad and dealing with trainings that they do not want. Even if they can be favored and named concubines in the future, they will never experience a lot of happiness.
Li Xuan was okay. No matter where he was, the most important thing was to be with Princess Ankang and Yu'er.
At this time, Manager Shang, who was driving the carriage, reached back and touched Li Xuan, who was looking at the Tongming Gate in a daze.
"Axuan, you must feel that way too."
"Even though I have been in and out of the palace countless times, every time there is a feeling of two worlds apart."
"It's like the inside of the palace and the outside of the palace are two different worlds."
Li Xuan also meowed, and he did feel this way.
After entering the palace, the motorcade drove all the way to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and 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 parts of the palace according to the registered information.
When Li Xuan came back, Manager Tuoshang bought some things as gifts for Princess Ankang and Yu'er, which were stored in his Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
It's just that he was in a hurry because of the mission, and he didn't have time to choose gifts for them, so the gifts he brought were a bit random.
"Axuan, it's a very important matter."
"Let's go to the Manna Palace to see His Majesty first."
Manager Shang handed over the purchase of supplies to others, then let Li Xuan step on his shoulders and rushed to the Manlu Hall.
Li Xuan also knew that it was better to hand over this account book to Emperor Yongyuan as soon as possible.
Didn't they try so hard not to disturb the people at the Siyun Grain Store last night just to buy more time for Emperor Yongyuan to make plans for the next step?
The two of them rushed all the way to Ganlu Palace, and after being informed by others, they were summoned by Emperor Yongyuan.
When Li Xuan and the chief steward came in together, Emperor Yongyuan had just left the morning court and was changing his clothes.
The dragon robe he wore when he went to court was more formal, mainly red and supplemented by gold. It was dotted with various rare gems and embellished with a red dragon shadow.
This dragon robe is obviously more cumbersome than what Emperor Yongyuan usually wears when he is in the Ganlu Hall. Therefore, the first thing Emperor Yongyuan does every time he goes to court in the morning is to change his clothes.
After Manager Shang took Li Xuan into the Manlu Hall, he stood silently in front of the table.
Emperor Yongyuan immediately winked, and the trusted eunuchs who were waiting for him to change clothes immediately sped up their movements. They didn't even bother to fold the dragon robes and put them away. After hurriedly taking them off from Emperor Yongyuan's body, they put them on him in their daily clothes. The red dragon robe he was wearing hurriedly retreated.
"How did things go?"
Emperor Yongyuan asked before he could sit down.
Although his expression and tone were still calm, it could still be seen how much he cared about this matter.
"Your Majesty, A Xuan is honored to live up to his command."
"We obtained all the account books without alerting the other party."
Manager Shang said and winked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately understood and jumped onto Emperor Yongyuan's desk. With a flick of his tail, he took out the ten thick account books from the Emperor's Bone Ring and placed them neatly on the table.
When Li Xuan jumped onto Emperor Yongyuan's desk for the first time, both the fashion manager and Zhao Feng felt a panic.
But when he jumped on it for the second time, Manager Shang was already used to it and wasn't worried at all.
The same is true for Emperor Yongyuan, or it should be said that his attention is all on those ten account books.
"Is this the real account book of Siyun Grain Store?"
Emperor Yongyuan picked up a book and started reading.
"Your Majesty, the account books are recorded in code. I'm afraid it needs to be deciphered to see the true content."
Manager Shang reported in a timely manner.
"Is that so?"
"Send the account book to Li Jingmen immediately and let Tang Nu decipher it as soon as possible."
Emperor Yongyuan then flipped through a few pages of the account book and then gave the order.
At this time, someone suddenly agreed:
"Old slave, take orders."
This sudden sound startled Li Xuan, and he found that it was actually 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 hurriedly left the Manlu Hall.
Wang Xi's sudden appearance made Li Xuandu feel a little confused.
"Was he here just now?"
Li Xuan blinked and recalled carefully, but found that he was not aware of Wang Xi's existence at all.
He couldn't tell even from the smell.
"Have you even blocked your own scent?"
"What a terrifying breath-containing method!"
Li Xuan sighed as he looked at the short and stocky figure that immediately disappeared outside the door.
He finally discovered that all eunuchs who could live to old age in the palace were all unique masters.
After Wang Xi left, Emperor Yongyuan continued to say to Manager Shang:
"Tell me everything in detail."
Emperor Yongyuan stretched out his finger and rubbed Li Xuan's forehead, with a smile on his face.
It seems that he is still very satisfied with the current results.
Then Mr. Shang talked about what happened yesterday in detail.
He later mentioned the details of Li Xuan's infiltration into the Siyun Grain Store to Manager Shang, so Manager Shang was able to tell them from beginning to end.
And when Emperor Yongyuan heard that the shopkeeper and the clerk of Siyun Grain Store escaped from the golden cicada in the fire, his eyes narrowed.
He also understood at this time that if there was an error last night, those account books would probably be burned to ashes.
"This is a good trick to catch mice. Please prepare more in the future."
Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan and affirmed.
Speaking of this, Li Xuan quickly took a pen and paper, wrote down a few lines, and asked Emperor Yongyuan about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
Li Xuan hadn't had time to catch mice for experiments yet, but at this moment someone who knew more about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring was in front of him, so he thought of asking Emperor Yongyuan directly.
Seeing the contents on the paper, Emperor Yongyuan did not hide anything and explained directly to him:
"What you are holding now is a single feather ring. If you store a living object in it, you will die in a short time."
"The same is true for people no matter how strong their cultivation is."
Hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he thought to himself:
"Isn't it a dead end to lock up a first-class person? Then wouldn't this be used as a trump card?"
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 the master at all."
"You must have felt it when you caught mice before, right?"
"Resistant creatures are particularly difficult to absorb."
"A single feather ring can absorb at most one kitten or puppy without any resistance, and it can't even fit a child into it."
Emperor Yongyuan explained patiently.
He knows more about the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, and these are just common sense to him.
"If a living creature is absorbed into the Emperor's Bone Ring, it will definitely die within a quarter of an hour. Moreover, 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 things. 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, I'm afraid it has something to do with life."
At this point, Emperor Yongyuan's answer became uncertain.
But his words had already given Li Xuan sufficient 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 creatures and keep them alive?"
Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but flash his eyes when he saw this question. He didn't expect that Li Xuan's thinking was so sensitive and he immediately caught the key to his words.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Yongyuan nodded.
"Of course it's possible."
"According to legend, there is a kingdom within Di Hong's body, and many lives exist within it."
"Even in ancient times, some people speculated that the world we live in now may also be in the body of an emperor."
Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but froze.
He didn't expect Di Hong to be so powerful.
If this legend is true, then the level of Di Hong is not as terrifying as that of the Creation Beast.
"There is a small world hidden inside the body..."
Li Xuan couldn't imagine what that would be like.
It just made him understand more clearly that Dihong's inheritance might make people crazy even more than he expected.
"Who wouldn't want such power?"
"Of the ten Emperor's Bone Rings, Daxing has three. Who has the remaining seven?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but make a sound, swallowed, and became more and more interested in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
"If I can obtain Dihong's inheritance, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to take two little girls around the world."
Emperor Yongyuan looked at Li Xuan, whose eyes were shining, and smiled secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Manager Shang below shook his head secretly, thinking that His Majesty was trying to manipulate the kitten again.
This was also Emperor Yongyuan's habit. He would always subconsciously guide the other person's desires in his behavior.
Manager Shang coughed dryly at this time, and then asked for instructions:
"Your Majesty, the old slave has sent people to keep an eye on the shopkeeper and clerk of Siyun Grain Store. Is there any further action required?"
On these issues, Manager Shang will not be confused, and his actions can be said to be watertight.
Even Li Xuan, who had been with him all the time, didn't know when Manager Shang ordered people to follow these two people.
Emperor Yongyuan smiled disdainfully at this.
"Just a person of no importance."
"Take the people back, there's no need to alert others."
Emperor Yongyuan was determined to send these two people away directly.
Manager Shang immediately accepted the order without any questioning.
"Axuan, you did a good job this time."
"I will never treat my own people badly..."
Halfway through his words, Emperor Yongyuan saw Li Xuan looking at him expectantly, and finally added the second half of the sentence by mistake.
"...and cats."
