Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Feng Xili's heart trembled and her eyes turned black. This dog emperor wanted to test her like this just because she solved the nine-ring chain that no one else could solve?

Before she could struggle in her heart, a piece of paper and a pen appeared in front of her.

The paper clearly stated x=, y=.

She frowned. If she deliberately made a mistake or didn't write it at all, she would definitely suffer the consequences. She was of low status and had nothing to negotiate. There was only one way out.

Bet!

She picked up a pen, wrote down two numbers, closed her eyes and waited for the trial.

When Emperor Qi Zhao saw the two numbers, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Miss Feng, I'm sorry for being rude just now." Emperor Qi Zhao actually bowed to her and clasped his fists. When she opened her eyes, she saw the jade hairpin on Emperor Qi Zhao's head and the crown on his head.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Feng, please come this way." Emperor Qi Zhao knocked twice somewhere on the wall, and a door suddenly appeared on the flat wall.

When she sat face to face with Emperor Qi Zhao, the emperor opposite her was as kind as the uncle next door.

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?" she asked.

"Miss Feng, you don't know." Emperor Qi Zhao seemed to have found a soulmate. Without any imperial dignity, he told her about his search over the years.

Emperor Qi Zhao officially ascended the throne fourteen years ago. The night before he ascended the throne, he was led to the dragon vein by a secret decree left by the previous emperor. From this, he learned about various major, secret and bizarre events that had occurred in Shangli Kingdom in the past two hundred years.

Among them are these four men and women from another world. What is even more amazing is that these four people inadvertently changed the direction of Shangli Kingdom, so that Shangli escaped the disaster of national destruction several times.

However, those people all had indelible contributions in the court, and their status and position were comparable to that of the emperor of the time, and each of them was second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Among them, Ding Baipo even gave up the throne that was within his grasp, and after bringing the precarious Shangli Kingdom back on track, he retired to the mountains and disappeared from then on, and was never found again.

Wei Yuanlai, who came later, was a talented general. He fought for Shangli and won a large territory, sharing the world with the emperor of the time. However, he resigned and returned to his hometown the following year. It was said that he disappeared inexplicably after a white light appeared on his body in the court.

Yue Ling was the great-grandmother of Emperor Qi Zhao. She gave birth to four sons for the royal family and passed away. The emperor at that time was heartbroken by the loss of his beloved and passed away the following year.

The closest one to the present is Luo Hao, a talented man who appeared only thirty years ago. After studying the predecessors who traveled through time throughout the ages, he discovered an unchanging law: they all laid the foundation for the prosperity of Shangli, intentionally or unintentionally.

When Luo Hao appeared, he was already over fifty years old. He was also the only one among these known people who died of natural causes.

The true identities of these people were only known to emperors of all dynasties, and then passed down orally. It was not until Qi Zhao's father passed away that he learned the secret of Shangli Kingdom that had been kept for more than two hundred years.

"My father reigned for over twenty years, and he didn't discover anything strange. He never told me anything about this before I was appointed crown prince. But the night before he died, he personally handed me a secret letter, and that's when I first saw this dragon vein."

After listening to this, Feng Xili felt that Alexander and the predecessors were too outstanding, and each of them was a dragon among men. She didn't know if she could continue the glory of her predecessors.

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure that I am the fifth one?" She was a little confused. Is it just because I solved the nine-ring chain?

"You are the first person in the past ten years to have untied the buckle the fastest. The two people before you took one three days and the other a month to do it."

Qi Zhao didn't care much. He brought the two men to the dragon vein to test it. As a result, the two men were shocked, but they kept praising the four dragon heads.

I couldn't understand any of the words on the wall, let alone figure out those two numbers.

She vaguely felt the sinister aura surrounding Emperor Qi Zhao, and just as she was about to ask the two people questions, her words froze in her throat.

"Don't worry, your identity has always been a top secret of Shangli Country. I will not reveal it. No matter what the future holds, as long as you remain in Shangli Country, I will ensure your safety for the rest of your life."

Emperor Qi Zhao's promise to her was equivalent to giving her a golden medal of immunity from death.

As long as she doesn't commit a serious crime that harms the country and the people in the future, she will not die.

"Miss Feng, there is something else that requires your cooperation." Qi Zhao stood up and walked to the room where the dragon vein was just located. There was a dragon head with tears in its eyes inside.

"I need to borrow a few drops of your blood to try it."

A few drops of blood?

She twitched her lips. Was she going to acknowledge her master or to do a blood test to prove her relationship?

She looked at the dagger handed to her, carefully pierced her fingertip, and dripped blood onto the hot tears in the dragon's eyes.

In an instant, the hot tears in the dragon's eyes shone brightly, and then disappeared in a flash. The originally hazy eyes became warm and kind.

Qi Zhaodi's expression changed, and finally he looked at her with a constipated look and sighed deeply.

I thought this little girl was of low status and might not achieve anything great in the future, so I just had to watch her closely. Who would have thought that she was actually my father's blood relative.

The third remarkable person, Senior Yue Ling, was my father’s grandmother. She gave birth to four sons for Emperor Xiaozhun, and the eldest son was Qi Zhao’s grandfather.

Unfortunately, her two middle sons died young. She was overly saddened by the loss of her beloved sons. Later, she gave birth to her last son at an advanced age, which harmed her body. She was bedridden for more than a year before passing away. Emperor Xiaozun followed her soon after.

The youngest son was not favored by Emperor Xiaozun, and he disappeared after his grandmother and grandfather passed away.

And the emperor grandfather has always been concerned about this younger brother whom he only met once.

But he searched hard but to no avail. A few years after his grandfather ascended the throne, he passed the throne to his father. After his father ascended the throne, he found out that his uncle, who was less than ten years old, had mysteriously disappeared.

My father has been on the throne for more than twenty years and has worked diligently. He has also secretly searched for that poor uncle, but found nothing.

Unexpectedly, I found some clues today. Calculating by age, if that person is still alive, he should be around forty now. This girl will be seventeen after the new year. If we work backwards, then...

The eldest princess? Her own aunt?

His face was pale. In recent years, there was no royal bloodline that had been lost outside. The only one was from that grandfather's generation. Now that the bloodline stone had appeared, it was probably correct.

Emperor Qi Zhao held his forehead with his hand, really not wanting to admit that after unraveling all the layers of things, he actually found such a young aunt for himself.

"Your Majesty, what is that light?" Feng Xili was surprised, watching his expression constantly changing. Did he know something?

Emperor Qi Zhao was silent. He had a grandfather who was in his forties, but he didn't want to mention it.

He thought for a moment, "Nothing, you must not tell anyone about what happened today, including the Prime Minister. Do not reveal a single word to him. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." She felt that she had saved her life and replied hurriedly.

"By the way, have you seen this bead?" Emperor Qi Zhao held a round transparent bead in his hand, and there seemed to be flashing light on the bead.

Her eyes narrowed, "I, that, this bead..."

"It's very important. Where have you seen it?"

"My mother once left me one, and it looks quite similar to the one in your hand." She felt a little guilty.

"Where is it now? Can you bring it out for me to see?" he asked anxiously.

"I, I accidentally...swallowed it."
