Traveling through time and space

"Yuanyuan." The prince hesitated to speak. He must have known what the Crown Princess and the others had said.

"Don't worry, Prince. Nothing happened today. Yuanyuan really had a lot of fun." However, she would not offend the current prince for such a small matter. Su Yuanyuan emphasized again that she would not remember what the mother and daughter said, and would not complain to her father.

"Crown Prince, Yuanyuan, what are you talking about?" The third brother and the sixth brother appeared.

"Crown Prince is a good brother. He asked Yuanyuan if she had fun today and asked Yuanyuan to go out more often in the future and not to act so old-fashioned. She should have the energy of young people and go out to play more. Yuanyuan thanks Crown Prince for his concern. My dear brothers and sisters-in-law, Yuanyuan will take her leave first." Su Yuanyuan got in the car and relaxed. Thinking of the matter of the crown prince's two children, she didn't know whether she should tell her father. She should tell him. Su Yuanyuan knew that there must be something else going on. "Yulin, go back to the mansion." Listening to them talking about what happened today, Su Yuanyuan stroked Xiaoyue'er, her mind was still tangled. Should she go or not? Should she tell or not? An hour later, Su Yuanyuan still wanted to go to the palace to find out, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night. "Rumei, ask Yulin to prepare the car. This princess misses my father and wants to go to see him." She dressed up again and only let Xiaomaozi accompany her into the palace.

"Little Maozi, you go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to send over some exquisite dishes that the princess likes. Eunuch Shen, you stand guard outside the door and no one is allowed to approach." Su Yuanyuan had just entered Lixiang Pavilion, which was a small restaurant specially used by the emperor for meals.

"Yuanyuan thanks father," Su Yuanyuan bowed seriously.

"But what's the matter?" The emperor sat in the main seat.

"Father, I won't beat around the bush. I'll just ask directly. Today, when I went to the Crown Prince's Mansion for a banquet, I saw the two children and realized they were poisoned. Does Father know about this?"

"I know. The poison was given by my father."

"Father, they are your grandsons."

"No, the prince is not my son."

"Father," Su Yuanyuan stood up in fright.

"I had no choice but to marry the late queen."

"Father, since you knew that the late queen had betrayed you, why did you stay with her for more than ten years?"

"You are still young, there are some things you don't understand. Back then, the head of the He family, He Kaijing, the late queen's father, came from another country to settle in Qingyang. At that time, Fengyan was in the midst of internal and external troubles. He was the son of Fengyan's regent. When he left Fengyan, he secretly took away Fengyan's lifeblood, the location of all the money in the treasury, and the entire Fengyan feng feng map. But they haven't found it in all these years, and we haven't obtained the map. Even the late queen didn't find it until her death."

"Father, the Crown Prince..."

"The Crown Prince is a child I picked up from outside the palace. I disliked the late Queen, and it just so happened that the child she gave birth to was stillborn, so it was a perfect substitute. I placed him in the position of Crown Prince now because I haven't found the blueprint, and I want him to attract everyone's attention."

"But Father, I am innocent."

"Girl, although you are a woman, you are a member of the royal family. You have the responsibility to ensure that the people live a good life. You must not be soft-hearted. The He family used this as an excuse to force me to make the late queen my empress. During her lifetime, no new concubines could be established. In order to obtain these, I had no choice but to marry her."

"Yes, a woman's kindness isn't enough to accomplish great things." Su Yuanyuan stood up and took the celery and shrimp that Eunuch Shen had just brought in. "Father, have you found that thing? Aren't you afraid that the He family will use this as a backing to commit treason?"

"Of course they are afraid, so the two children of the He family are under the surveillance of the emperor."

"I've looked for it. I've been to the He Mansion constantly over the years, turning everything upside down, but I still can't find it. The only ones left in the He family now are He Zifang and his children. I've searched every family in the He family, but they still can't find it. I really can't imagine where they put it."

"Didn't the Emperor ask the He family?"

"They're so stupid. They say they don't know. Their ancestors left no words behind. I've searched the house and found nothing." The emperor looked at Su Yuanyuan and asked, "Have you told the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess about the two children being poisoned?"

"Father, Yuanyuan may be young, but she's not stupid. How could so many doctors not see this? There must be something fishy going on. Don't worry, Yuanyuan doesn't know about this, and she certainly won't help an outsider." Su Yuanyuan reassured her father. "Father, would you like to make some changes to Wuming Villa? As for that farm, Yuanyuan also wants to grow the things she wants."

"It's yours if I give it to you. You can decide for yourself."

"Thank you, Father. Father, are you worried because you can't find the map?"

"Yes, but it's helpless. If we have this map, firstly, Qingyang will be richer. Secondly, if it succeeds, our Qingyang territory will expand by a considerable amount."

"Father, do you also have such ambitions?"

"Of course, there's no emperor in this world without ambition. By the way, what do you want to do on the farm?"

Su Yuanyuan was stunned. "Food is the most important thing for people. Yuanyuan wants to grow some rare things."

"Or is it the one you mentioned in your dream?" He looked a little curious.

"Yes, Yuanyuan often dreams, and then gets something."

"Okay, Father, I won't ask any more questions. You are the most noble woman in Qingyang. As a legitimate princess, you should do more for the people of this country."

"Yuanyuan understands, and thanks to the emperor for his trust in Yuanyuan."

"Your Majesty, Princess, would you like to hear something funny?" The father and daughter were talking when Eunuch Shen, who had just opened the door and left, came back in and closed the door.

"What's the matter? Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, someone just reported that Princess Manxue, the second legitimate daughter of Duke Qi, accidentally fell into the water at the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince personally rescued her. Meanwhile, Jia Xiaojing, the legitimate daughter of Lord Jia Changbing of the Ministry of Justice, also fell into the water. She was rescued by He Xuanzhong, the commander of our Imperial Guards. Jia Xiaojing has become Lord He's concubine."

"When did this happen?" Su Yuanyuan asked curiously. "From what I've seen, Princess Manyong is in love with the second brother of the Wei family. No, how could we know about what happened over there so quickly? Did the Emperor arrange for someone to stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

"Of course, I will come back to report in half an hour. I am aware of the injustice you suffered today, but I am a little surprised that you didn't come to complain."

"Father, Yuanyuan is not a child of three or two years old anymore, she is already fifteen. How can she complain to her parents about everything? Father is not just Yuanyuan's father. If you want to deal with them, there will be plenty of time in the future. There is no need to rush now." Su Yuanyuan was calm. He would take revenge eventually. It is not a gentleman to not take revenge.

"You really have the mind of a child." The emperor sighed deeply. "They should be taking action soon. Send someone to draft an imperial decree and grant the marriage."

"Father, I believe the Crown Prince will come to see you about this matter. Let's talk about it after they arrive. They are the ones who are anxious anyway.

"Your Majesty, are the Jia family and the Duke of Qi's Mansion also families favored by the prince?" asked Eunuch Shen.

"Yes, although the Duke of Qi does not hold a seat in the court, he knows all the big and small events that happen in the court."

"Father, do you really want to get that map?" Su Yuanyuan asked. The father nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, then Yuanyuan will help you find the map."

"Are you sure of this?" he asked. Su Yuanyuan nodded firmly. The emperor smiled. He probably didn't believe Su Yuanyuan could accomplish this. "I have something else to do. You should go back to the palace. Come and keep me company when you are free." After dinner, it was dark. It was time for Su Yuanyuan to leave the palace and return home. "Eunuch Shen, you will personally escort the princess out of the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and see the little princess off."

"Eunuch Shen, Yuanyuan wants to ask something she shouldn't ask, is that okay?"

"Princess, please speak." With the help of the light, Eunuch Shen walked on the left side of Su Yuanyuan.

"Father, do you want to make Princess Qi Manyong, the legitimate daughter of Duke Qi, the empress?" Su Yuanyuan asked Eunuch Shen in a low voice, making sure that her father and no one else could hear.

"How does the princess know?" Eunuch Shen was very surprised by Su Yuanyuan's question.

"She is not the ideal woman for my father. What my father needs is a person who understands his feelings and is willing to help him, not a scheming woman with a shrewd family background."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will advise the Emperor to be cautious."

"Thank you, Eunuch Shen, for seeing me off."

"Princess, please forgive me. This is what I deserve. Every time the princess sends something, the emperor will share some with me. I have enjoyed the princess's blessing."

"You are too polite, Eunuch Shen. You have been taking care of the emperor, working hard and worryingly. This is what Yuanyuan should do. If you need anything in the palace, just tell Yuanyuan."

"I thank the princess for her care."

Where is this thing hidden? Su Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the car, kept thinking about this question, "Xiao Maozi, come in and talk." Xiao Maozi was sitting outside, and Su Yuanyuan called him in.

"Princess, what's the matter?"

"Little Maozi, if you were to hide something, where would you hide it?"

"Hiding things. When I was little, I liked hiding things and playing hide-and-seek. When I was little, after asking for food, I would give half of it and hide it close to my body when I thought I wouldn't get it." The man fell into memories.

"I'm hiding something very important and don't want anyone to find it."

"Under the bed, on the beam, in the cabinet, or in the tiles on the roof, in the secret room of the house." Xiao Maozi said, Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Princess, you can also wrap something and hide it under a tree." Su Yuanyuan shook her head. Her father must have sent people to look for it in these superficial places. It has been so many years, but it hasn't been found yet. Su Yuanyuan was thinking about it, but she also noticed that Xiao Maozi was acting strangely.

"Little Maozi, do you have any ideas? Or have you encountered something that you can't solve?"

"I'm fine," he said. Su Yuanyuan didn't ask any more questions, but just thought about her own things. She kept thinking about this question until she finished washing up and went to bed. She was still thinking about it, and she was still thinking about it after she released Yue'er.

"Master, could they be hiding outside, within their own confines, a place others can't easily enter."

"The manor, the shop, the courtyard, or somewhere else? The manor is too large, the shop is too crowded, and the courtyard wouldn't be very safe either, as people come and go." Su Yuanyuan suddenly thought of a place that was definitely safe: the He family's ancestral tomb. It wouldn't be a place anyone would consider going to. "Yue'er, do you think they'd put the things in the He family's ancestral tomb, or in the coffin of the previous patriarch?"

"This is a great place, and it's quite secretive. Come on, Yue'er will accompany you."

"You're really a man of action. Do you know where the He family's ancestral tomb is? How do we get in? Oh, and I have another idea. In my past life, when I was watching TV, some people would draw maps on their backs. That way, it would be easier to preserve. Do you think they would do the same? It would be very safe, and others wouldn't be able to find it easily."
