The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

While everyone was discussing this, Zi Chi came in and reported that there were several soldiers outside who wanted to see him.

She ordered them to be brought in. As soon as they entered, the soldiers knelt and clasped their fists, saying, "Your Majesty, while we were patrolling the royal mausoleum last night, we saw Lord Zhang and his group of over a hundred people entering the mausoleum."

"We thought it was sent by the king, so we did not go forward to ask."

"But these people have not come out since they went in. I don't know why."

After hearing this, everyone stood up in surprise. Prince Guang cursed angrily, "What is this guy doing with his mouth? He brought people into the royal mausoleum in the middle of the night. He must have bad intentions and is trapped inside!"

Zixuan looked at the Grand Marshal Yi Ke and said, "Grand Marshal, do you know if there are any hidden weapons in the royal mausoleum?"

Yi Ke bowed and replied, "Your Majesty! There are not only hidden weapons in the royal mausoleum, but also poisonous gas and poisonous insects!"

"It's over, it's over. This guy and the others must have been poisoned and died in there."

Crown Prince Jiang Guang paced back and forth anxiously.

Zixuan shouted loudly to several soldiers: "Why don't you hurry up and go in to rescue them!"

"Your Majesty! There's no way to save them. The path leading to the mausoleum has been buried by earth and rocks. The entire mausoleum is sealed!"

Zixuan glanced at Jiang Guang and shook his head helplessly: "Brother Guang, look, what should we do?"

Prince Guang stamped his feet in anger: "This guy opened his mouth and really brought trouble upon himself!"

"Well, never mind him, let him die in there, and be buried with King Lai!"

"When I return to Linzi, I will report the matter to my father and see how he handles it."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This was the only way to deal with the matter.

So everyone sat down again, chatted about trivial topics for a while, and then went their separate ways.

After lunch, Zixuan returned to the space. Just as he sat on the sofa and drank a cup of tea, Boss Ji walked in with a middle-aged robot.

After the two exchanged greetings, the robot boss pointed to the robot next to him and said, "My lord, this is Geological Exploration Expert Qi Liu."

"He just returned from space. Let him tell you about the results of the survey."

Zixuan pointed to the sofa across from them and said, "Okay, Qiliu, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have already thoroughly investigated all these mountains, rocks, and so on. This time, I have gained quite a lot."

"These mountains contain mines of silver, salt, iron, lime, saltpetre, dolomite, and quartz."

"There are also several minerals that have not produced any results in the laboratory after being decomposed."

Among these ores, the most abundant are silver, iron, and salt. We're going to make a small profit this time, haha."

Zixuan was also very happy after hearing this. Although he had everything he needed in his own space, who would complain about having too many things?

So, she looked at Qi Liu with admiration and said, "Qi Liu, you've worked so hard. You're an expert indeed. You came up with the results so quickly. I give you a thumbs up."

"From now on, the exploration of all the land and hills within the fiefdom will be left to you."

"Boss Ji, send a few more people to work with him. Make sure to thoroughly survey all the resources in the entire fiefdom. Do you understand?"

Three days later, the wake was over and everyone packed up and set off back to the palace.

The most talked about topic along the way was that Zhang Zui and more than a hundred others sneaked into the royal tomb at night to rob the tomb and were poisoned to death by the poisonous gas in the tomb.

By the time everyone realized it, the person had already been buried under the royal tomb, and even the body was not found in time.

Everyone was sighing. As the Imperial Censor of the dynasty, he actually did such a wicked thing. It was really a pity that he deserved to die.

The team rushed all the way and arrived at Guicheng in less than two hours.

After entering the palace, Zixuan called Jiyou and ordered him to take people to capture Lu Qi.

He also ordered the Grand Commandant Yi Ke to arrest Du Teng. After receiving the order, the two immediately took action.

Zixuan came to the queen's bedroom again and asked his mother to call all the maids and guards in the bedroom into the palace and screen them one by one.

Gather all those whose loyalty was below 80. "Tell me! Who informed Lu Qi about the underground palace?"

After hearing this, the maids and guards were so frightened that they trembled all over, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"What! No one dares to admit it? Come, drag these people out and beat them all to death!"

"Yes! Yes!" With the sound of "Yes", a large group of guards suddenly came forward and pulled these people out.

"No, my king, please spare me! It wasn't us servants who did this. Please spare me, my king!"

Everyone was crying and begging for mercy as they were dragged out by the guards.

"My king! Don't kill me, I know who did it!"

At this time, a maid broke free from the guards' hands, ran back to the hall, and knelt in front of Zixuan.

She cried out loudly, "Your Majesty, I know who eavesdropped. I will tell you now. Please don't kill me. Please spare my life."

Zixuan lowered his head and glanced at the frightened servant: "Okay! As long as what you say is true, I will spare your life. Speak!"

The maid wiped the cold sweat from her head with her sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, that day, after Her Majesty the Queen asked us to leave, I left too."

"But when I returned to the room, I found that my handkerchief had fallen off at some point, so I went to look for it."

"When I passed by Her Majesty the Queen's back window, I found Wang Chunhua eavesdropping there. I didn't dare to say anything and quietly returned to my room."

"Every word I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Zixuan nodded: "Come here! Bring them all back!"

After a while, the group was driven back by the guards.

She glanced at the maid and said, "Go! Point that person out to me!"

"Look," the maidservant trembled as she walked into the crowd, pointing at Wang Chunhua and saying, "My lord, that's her!"

Before the maid finished speaking, Wang Chunhua collapsed to the ground in fear, and a stream of yellow urine flowed out from his lower body.

A guard picked her up and threw her in front of Zixuan: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Lu Qi forced me to do this!"

"If I don't obey his orders, he will strangle me to death. I am afraid of death, so I had no choice but to do it. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Zixuan gnashed his teeth in hatred after hearing this: "Well, you're afraid that he'll strangle you to death, but aren't you afraid that I'll beat you to death! Come on! Drag Wang Chunhua out and have her beaten to death!"

Then, two guards carried Wang Chunhua out of the hall.

She then ordered the guards to lock all these people up in the woodshed in the harem.

Just as the matter was dealt with, the guard commander Ji You came in to report that Lu Qi had escaped and had not been caught.

Zixuan was furious and immediately ordered a city-wide search, determined not to let Lu Qi escape.

As a result, martial law was imposed in Guicheng, and the guards searched for Lu Qi house by house.
