Jiang Tangxi was still standing there in a daze, thinking over and over again in her mind what Zi Ling had just said to her. She was completely immersed in shock and unable to extricate herself.

Zi Ling looked at Jiang Tangxi's worried expression and couldn't help asking: [OP, are you worried about something? Why do you look like that?]

Jiang Tangxi came back to his senses and quickly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just don't remember anything about what happened that night, which makes me a little nervous."

Then, Jiang Tangxi changed the subject and asked, "Zi Ling, have you found out about that thing?"

Zi Ling frowned and said, "Original Poster, according to the information we have inquired from various sources, the last person who handled that thing was the old emperor! Now the biggest possibility is that the emperor has it. But... recently the emperor seems to be very abnormal. When I entered the palace last time, I took a closer look and the emperor seemed to be poisoned!"

The relationship between the Ghost Tower, which is managed by Jiang Tangxi, and the royal family was originally a tangled mess.

Long ago, the Ghost House had a unique position in the underworld, mastering various mysterious skills and unknown intelligence networks. The royal family, ruling the entire country from a high position, seemed to have nothing to do with the underworld organization like the Ghost House, but in fact the two sides were inextricably linked.

At the beginning, the royal family took the initiative to find Guimeilou because of some special needs, such as the need for some special weapon manufacturing technology or the help of some people in the underworld to deal with some secret troubles. And Guimeilou also needed to use some of the royal family's resources and influence to expand its sphere of influence, so the two sides reached a cooperation.

In that cooperation, a large amount of materials were exchanged. The royal family provided precious jewelry, silk, and some special materials that only the royal family could have, while the Ghost House gave back some unique hidden weapons, poison formulas, and some secret intelligence in the underworld.

In this process, both parties got what they needed and seemed to be cooperating very harmoniously.

But in the process of this cooperation, the person sent by the royal family to take over was a noble concubine. The reunion of the two people was like throwing a stone into their peaceful life, causing ripples.

Later, Jiang Tangxi learned that the two of them were childhood sweethearts when they were young and had spent many wonderful times together. But fate played tricks on them. Because of the interests of her family, the imperial concubine had to be sent to the palace, and from then on, she and the old owner were separated.

When they met again, the emotions of their youth were instantly ignited.

Later, Jiang Tangxi also understood that the emperor had already known about the relationship between this imperial concubine and the old owner of the building, and the emperor sent her out on purpose!

Therefore, this kind of relationship is extremely dangerous.

On the one hand, the struggle within the royal family was already complicated. Other royal family members and some forces in the palace began to notice the unusual relationship between the imperial concubine and the old owner of the building. They began to make a big fuss about this matter and tried to suppress the imperial concubine's family and the forces associated with the Ghost Building.

On the other hand, the Ghost House also had a split because of the old owner's behavior. Some people thought that the old owner's personal feelings affected the cooperation between Ghost House and the royal family, and might even bring disaster to Ghost House; while others felt that the old owner had the right to pursue his own feelings, after all, he had paid so much for Ghost House.

In this way, due to the relationship between the old owner of the building and the imperial concubine, the surveillance of the royal family by the Ghost Building gradually relaxed.

Some people in the royal family took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the Ghost Tower and stole an important secret.

The secret scroll mainly contains some forbidden techniques for cultivation! When the old owner got it, he immediately banned it!

I really didn’t want it!! Finally it came out!

After the Ghost Building discovered that the secret technique had been stolen, it immediately fell into chaos.

The entire Ghost Building began to search everywhere, trying every possible way to find the secret scroll, but so many years have passed and there is still no clue.

It was not until recently that they received news that the secret scroll was most likely in the hands of someone in the royal family.

As the current ruler of the Ghost Tower, Jiang Tangxi has to face this thorny problem. She needs to find a way to take back the secret scroll from the royal family, so the tower sent Zi Ling to carry out this mission!

Zi Ling originally thought that Jiang Tangxi would be particularly shocked to hear that the emperor was poisoned, but Jiang Tangxi just said "hmm" lightly.

Zi Ling's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly asked: [Owner! Did you know this a long time ago? ]

Jiang Tangxi nodded slightly and said, "It was Princess Xiao Yunxuan who poisoned me. As for the reason behind this, you should know it."

When Zi Ling heard the name Xiao Yunxuan, she immediately reacted.

She remembered that she had seen this princess in the palace when she was in Guquan before.

Xiao Yunxuan's life was not a human life. She danced like a dancer all day long, from morning to night. If the crazy prince of Guquan was unhappy, he would send her to entertain guests.

Xiao Yunxuan's status in Guquan was even lower than that of a prostitute. Prostitutes had to pay, but those who wanted to sleep with Xiao Yunxuan didn't need to pay at all. No matter when or where, as long as those people wanted, they could touch her at any time.

However, Xiao Yunxuan did not dare to commit suicide because the entire Dongli was behind her.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Jiang Tangxi waved his hand and asked Zi Ling to leave.

As soon as Zi Ling went out, she happened to run into Xiao Tingzhou.

As soon as Xiao Tingzhou saw Zi Ling (Tuoba Yanxi), he seemed to be frozen. He stood there blankly, pointing at her, with his mouth wide open, unable to close for a long time.

After a long while, he stammered, "Princess Tuoba? Why...why are you here? Didn't you say that you can't enter the Emperor's sister-in-law's Feishuang Courtyard? You are so bold!"

Xiao Tingzhou's words scared away a crow on a treetop!

Tuoba Yanxi frowned, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Humph, what does it have to do with you? I came to see what happened to my sister."

When Xiao Tingzhou heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious, "Hey, what's your attitude? Do you know the current rules of the palace? Second brother has specifically told us that you will cause trouble for everyone if you do this."

Zi Ling didn't want to pay any attention to him and turned around to leave.

Xiao Tingzhou rushed forward and blocked her way, "Don't leave, you must explain it to me today. If you sneak over here like this and are discovered by the Second Emperor, we will all be in trouble."

Zi Ling crossed her arms and said impatiently, "I'm not afraid. My sister let me in. What can you do to me? Besides, I just came to talk to my sister. I didn't do anything bad."
