Chapter 412 Clearing Obstacles

In the emperor's view, the sword tomb was the burial place of Gongshu Wuzhi's body after all, so the many tricks inside were easy to understand. But as Cai Zhengqing said, the mountain behind was just an empty and desolate place, and the strange little house and the cliff cave on the cliff must be hiding a secret.

Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought, Old Cai changed his mind and wanted to further enhance the mystery of Ye Changyan, and then increase Ye Changyan's bargaining chips in the emperor's mind, so that the emperor would have more concerns about Ye Changyan, and finally make compromises and concessions on the matter of Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. Therefore, Old Cai's expression became a little obscure, and he spoke.

"Your Majesty, according to my observation, every time Chang Yan comes to Yujing Palace, he will go to the back mountain. Sometimes he is accompanied by the Palace Master and the elders, and sometimes he goes alone. According to Chang Yan, it seems that the back mountain is where Mr. Gongshu lived and practiced in his daily life."

Mr. Cai's words immediately brought the emperor back to his senses. The emperor was indeed very interested. He stared at Mr. Cai with his bright eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Although Mr. Cai guessed the emperor's thoughts in his heart, he still looked a little cryptic on the surface and spoke slowly.

"And that cave on the cliff was dug out by Mr. Gongshu as a place for sleeping and resting. Ye Xiaozheng was taken to the cave by Xingwang, where he would recuperate for an hour every day."

Although the emperor had never met Ye Xiaozheng, from the news that Baohu brought back to him, when he was in Yuzhou Prefecture, Ye Xiaozheng was like a useless person, sick all day long and looked like a consumptive patient.

After Ye Changyan went to Yujing Palace for the first time, he got a pill called Yangxi Pill. After taking the Yangxi Pill, Ye Xiaozheng was able to take a carriage and travel thousands of miles from Yuzhou to Shengjing. At that time, the empress dowager was ill and after hearing the news from Baohu, the emperor wanted to find the Yangxi Pill.

Ye Xiaozheng has only been in Yujing Palace for a short period of half a year for recuperation. According to Baohu, Ye Xiaozheng now looks no different from a normal person of the same age. It seems that there must be some secret left by Gongshu Wuzhi in the cliff cave behind Yujing Palace, otherwise it would be impossible for a consumptive patient to recover like a normal person in just half a year.

"Sir, do you know what Ye Changyan did every time he went to the back mountain of Yujing Palace?"

Old Cai nodded secretly in his heart. The emperor was indeed very interested in this, but Old Cai shook his head slightly.

"This, I don't know either. It should be that Yujing Palace has issued a gag order to Changyan. Therefore, Changyan has no specific statement about the specific situation of the mountain behind Yujing Palace. However, Jingcheng and Changyan came to Yujing Palace to pick us up before the New Year. On the morning before leaving, Changyan went to the Sword Tomb accompanied by Elder Qingyun, who is in charge of the Sword Tomb. When we were going down the mountain, I vaguely heard Changyan mention that he went to the Sword Tomb to pay homage to Mr. Gongshu. This was also the first time Ye Changyan went to the Sword Tomb."

The emperor nodded slightly. Not only could Ye Changyan enter and exit the back mountain of Yujing Palace alone, but he could also go to the sword tomb of Yujing Palace, which was heavily armed. It seemed that the relationship between this child and Yujing Palace and Gongshu Wuji might be much deeper than imagined.

When Mr. Cai walked out of the side hall, his face still maintained that somewhat gloomy expression, but when he boarded the carriage and entered the compartment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and the original worry in his heart was finally put aside.

Although Mr. Cai was not very optimistic about two men knowing each other and supporting each other throughout their lives, the secular perspective alone would make the road ahead for these two people full of thorns, but when this matter fell on his two disciples, Mr. Cai would never stand idly by.

Just as he said to persuade the emperor today, it is better to guide than to block. Rather than separating two people who love each other and possibly facing unpredictable tragedy, it is better to guide them well. Mr. Cai has the most say in how talented and knowledgeable his two students are. Mr. Cai has seen two children devastated and even sliding into an unpredictable abyss because of the separation of their relationship.

It is hard to say whether the two children can eventually be together, but the biggest obstacle preventing them from being together is the emperor and the empress dowager. Entrusted by the royal family, Cai has raised Liang Jingcheng for nearly twenty years. He has long regarded this child as his own.

His affection and love for the child can be said to be no less than that of the emperor and the empress dowager. Naturally, he hopes that the child can spend his life with his beloved.

Ye Changyan had been with him for only two years, and Mr. Cai knew that this child was hiding some secrets. Perhaps it was just as he had told him at the beginning, when he was returning from the college entrance examination, he encountered bandits and while he was unconscious, he dreamed of Mr. Gongshu and received Mr. Gongshu's inheritance. Although Mr. Cai could not completely believe this statement, he knew Ye Changyan's character. Even if this statement was not entirely the truth, his concealment must have been well-intentioned.

Moreover, Ye Changyan was a smart kid with many clever ideas. In just two years, he quietly accumulated a large amount of wealth. Besides, he treated himself and Liang Jingcheng with absolute sincerity, except for the secrets he had not yet told himself.

If these two children are really attracted to each other, like each other, and plan to spend the rest of their lives together, then I must find a way to help them clear all possible obstacles.

Shortly after Mr. Cai and Lu Tingfeng left the palace, Qiu Bao came to the Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of England has been investigating Liang Jingcheng and the events of the Cheng Palace."

"The King of England has been depressed for these years, and has always been relatively law-abiding. I know that he holds some power left to him by the late Crown Prince and the late Queen. Jing Cheng looks quite similar to Princess Cheng, so it's no wonder that he would be suspicious. After all, he and Princess Cheng are childhood sweethearts. If the Queen Mother hadn't intended to marry Liang Liru to Ruining, perhaps Liang Liru would have been the Princess of England. If he is interested in Jing Cheng's life experience, let him check it out. You don't have to set too many obstacles for him. Perhaps if the King of England knows Jing Cheng's true identity, he will become another protective force around Jing Cheng."

Qiu Bao nodded and agreed.

"Your Majesty, when my people were investigating Yujing Palace, they discovered that more than one force was also secretly investigating Yujing Palace. Yujing Palace seemed to have noticed it and made some adjustments and responses, so that the progress of my people's investigation was temporarily suspended."
