Chapter 263 The first meeting of the concubine Xian

In the early morning, a terrifying scream suddenly came from the palace. The harsh sound broke through the night sky, causing the birds resting in the trees to flew everywhere. Many palace people were awakened by the screams and stood up and looked out the window. After that scream, everything returned to calm, and all the people who woke up from their sleep fell asleep again. It seemed that the sound just now was just a dream, and no one pursued the sound of where it was. They were all numb. Such things were already common in the palace, and no one would explore the truth. All they did was to protect themselves.

Wan Xin also heard the scream. She didn't even get up, turned over and fell asleep again. She knew whose voice was. Since Jinli had chosen to take this step, death would be the inevitable ending. Wan Xin did not regret the passing of her life at all. Just like she did not blame Jinli for her betrayal, Jinli has never been her own person since the beginning. At first, she thought that Jinli was loyal to the Queen, and she was not alert until she discovered that the things that Jinli reported to the Queen were all irrelevant trivial matters that she had become alert. But she didn't know whether the Queen knew Jinli's true identity. I'm afraid she had known that if this were the case, the Queen would be powerful and terrifying.

Wanxin's thoughts were complicated. Although she fell asleep almost dawn, she woke up early. After Mingyue finished washing her, Wanxin was about to go out. Mingyue hurriedly stopped her, "Miss, I'll accompany you today."

Wan Xin shook his head, "Today, you don't have to accompany me. You wait for me in the house. Remember, no matter who comes to you, don't believe it. If the fifth prince comes, tell him, I'll go to the Queen's place and let him come again another day."

"Miss..." Mingyue still called Wan Xin unwillingly. After yesterday's incident, she was very worried about Wan Xin's safety.

"I know what you think, don't worry, I'm fine..." Wan Xin patted Mingyue's back of her hand and comforted her.

Mingyue knew her lady’s personality, so she didn’t force herself and nodded, “Miss, you must be careful.”

"Don't worry." Wan Xin said these two words and hurriedly left. She must seize the time and hurry to the door of the Treasure Pavilion before Concubine Wanxian.

Wanxin came to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion and looked at the simple gate. There was no trace of magnificence at all. If the Queen hadn't told her the route, Wanxin would never have thought that this place would be the Treasure Pavilion.

"Who is coming?" The guards saw Wan Xin and had already made a move to unsheathed sword. As long as Wan Xin took another step forward, they would start to take action.

"I have a token." Wan Xin took out the precious ring from his arms and handed it to the guard.

When the guards saw the ring, although they were well-trained, they could not hide their surprise. They guarded here for several years. This was the first time they saw someone other than the Emperor and the Empress come.

The guard verified the ring and handed it back to Wan Xin's hand, "That's right, it's the token of the Queen, Miss, please come in. But you only have a stick of incense, and we will let you leave here once the time comes."

Wan Xin nodded with a smile and quickly walked into the treasure house. She thought the treasure house would be magnificent, all of which were gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of extravagant things. Who knew that the treasure house had no trace of gold, all of which were simple porcelain, scrolls, books and other things.

Wan Xin looked around and smiled in his heart. No wonder Beiliang is stronger than the surrounding Nanwu and Western Chu. It turns out that it is because the items that Emperor Beiliang regarded as treasures were not gold, silver and fine, but ancient books, ancient paintings, handicrafts of the previous dynasty, etc. Wan Xin had a natural respect for Emperor Beiliang at this time. It is rare to have such a vision, and it is really a blessing for the people of Beiliang.

No wonder Emperor Beiliang did not allow others to come here. This place was a completely invisible treasure, more precious than those glittering gems. Wan Xin looked at the incense lit at the door, and did not dare to think about it anymore, and began to look for what she needed. She came to the area where ancient books were hidden, and looked at the piles of books, and smiled bitterly. She had to read such a mountain-like book, and she didn't have that much time.

Wan Xin thought about Liu Anyang and Liu Fanchen told her about the jade pendant, and locked in an approximate time. She did not read the type of jewelry written on it, nor did she read the strange stories of the previous dynasty, because she had no intention of finding another jade pendant at all. Instead, she chose the book on the map. Wan Xin planned to find the map and memorize the map, because she did not allow any pen and paper to enter the treasure pavilion. Wan Xin had already remembered the appearance of the jade pendant in her heart. She looked through all the hand-painted maps and compared the graphics in her heart with the graphics in the book. See if there was any similarity. Wan Xin saw half of the incense burned and began to speed up. She knew that she didn't have much time left. If she didn't find what she wanted today, she wouldn't have the chance to find it again in the future.

She understood a little why the Empress and the Emperor of Beiliang agreed to her request so happily, because they had long been sure that even if Wan Xin came to the Treasure Pavilion, they would not find what they needed.

Just as the incense was about to burn out, Wan Xin looked at the album in her hand blankly. When she was stunned for a few seconds, she suddenly realized, "I understand, so that's it."

As soon as Wan Xin finished speaking, the door was opened, "The time has come, please leave quickly."

Wan Xin finally confirmed the map in his hand and nodded, "I understand, I'm working."

Wan Xin herself did not expect that she would find Yu Jue’s secret by chance. She wanted to tell Liu Fanchen about this matter quickly. Just when Wan Xin left the Treasure Pavilion, she was stopped by a strange palace maid, "The county lord stays, the virtuous concubine has feelings."

Wan Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What should come is coming. Even if she didn't follow her at this time, Concubine Wan Xian still had a way to see her. Anyway, things that she had to face sooner or later, Wan Xin always had no fear of any trouble coming to her.

"Then lead the way."

"Please come with me, please."

Wan Xin was taken to the garden by a strange palace maid, and a strange female voice suddenly rang out, "You are still one step faster."

Wan Xin paused, turned around and saw Concubine Wanxian standing not far from her. Wan Xin had already expected Concubine Wanxian to come, "Wan Xin has seen Concubine Xian."

Concubine Wan Xian looked up and down at Wan Xin, and gently opened her red lips, "You were not surprised to see that I was at all. Do you already know it was me?"

Wan Xin knew that Concubine Wan Xian was a cruel and ruthless person, so she didn't go around in circles, "Even if Wan Xin didn't know it before, she still knows it now, right?"

"I like to talk to smart people, so I will not go around in circles with you. I have already dealt with those who betray you." Concubine Wan Xian sat in the pavilion and looked at Wan Xin leisurely.
