Zhao Ling held her chin with both hands and complained, "Don't say that. I just want to leave the palace. I'm not sick at all. It's the Empress Dowager who won't let me. I can't pretend to be sick any longer."

Li Lianhua raised her eyebrows and said mysteriously, "Hey, don't be anxious! There's fun to be had even if you don't leave the palace."

Zhao Ling immediately became interested when he heard that there was something fun to do. Li Lianhua told Zhao Ling why she came here, half true and half false, and asked him to cooperate with her in acting.

Soon Li Lianhua opened the door and said that the princess was cured. Zhao Ling also cooperated with Li Lianhua and said that she was cured. She asked the kitchen to send her some more food to show that she was doing well now.

The monk Wujie, who lost the bet, was naturally to be expelled from the palace. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother suddenly appeared to stop him and called the monk Wujie a benefactor.

He said that he brought elixir from the Western Regions to cure her legs, and invited Li Lianhua and Wujie Demon Monk to attend the banquet together tomorrow. Li Lianhua used the princess's illness to gain the right to move freely in the palace.

Zhao Ling pulled Li Lianhua to a secluded place and asked, "Li Lianhua, you didn't say that the Imperial Preceptor was a bad person, so how come he even cured the Empress Dowager's leg?"

Li Lianhua explained carefully, "There's a rare creature in Xibo called the golden-shelled snow silkworm. It can reconnect broken limbs. I heard it's a rare treasure. I guess the Imperial Master used this snow silkworm to cure the Queen Mother's illness."

Zhao Ling lowered his head and pondered, "What on earth did this Imperial Master want to steal that he even sacrificed a national treasure?"

"Could it be the vault?!" she suddenly exclaimed.

Li Lianhua agreed with him and murmured, "It's possible, but has the princess ever seen this symbol in the palace? This is a thief's secret code."

Zhao Ling took the paper, took a look at it, and finally shook his head with no clue: "No. But I will pay more attention! I must catch these people!"

In order to find the disappeared Paradise Tower in the palace, Shan Gudao borrowed the Xuan Tower and obtained special approval, allowing him to move freely in the palace.

Li Lianhua cleverly took the opportunity to obtain approval to act with Shan Gudao.

However, in the process of searching for the Jile Pagoda, the four eunuchs who had entered the Jile Pagoda and were brought by Shan Gudao died tragically one after another, which led to the mystery of the Jile Pagoda ghost case.

Li Lianhua deduced that the reason these eunuchs met with misfortune was because they had stayed in the palace under the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works' supervisor Liu Kehe happened to be the mastermind behind the Qingrong beast murder case.

Li Lianhua deduced this through analysis of the bobcat's hiding of food and the murder of eunuchs.

Finally, Li Lianhua finally found the entrance to the Xuan Tower. With the mechanism borrowed from Tianji Villa, he walked through the mess of rare treasures, went deep into the underground, passed through the gorgeous lotus lanterns, and came to an open stone bed.

Qin Changsheng lay quietly on the dusty and cobweb-covered wooden bed. She casually knocked on the finely crafted wooden box in her hand.

"Congratulations on finding your mother."

Li Lianhua walked over to her and sat down, then asked calmly, "You're here? Why didn't you just bring me here? Why did you let me look for it?"

"You have to find the secret yourself to feel a sense of accomplishment."

Qin Changsheng handed Mu Qi to him, along with the two pieces of Tianbing in her hand.

Li Lianhua joked, "You don't feel uncomfortable lying here."

He pushed the decayed male corpse, which was only bones left, inside, took a tinder to look around, and found the mural on the wall.
