The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Ji Wuxin dared to pass the throne to Ji Bingyan because he saw Jia Daoshi's abilities.

With Jia Daoshi around, Ji Wuxin could finally relax.

In terms of ability, cunning, connections, and experience in the martial world, Ji Bingyan was always a step behind her. Once she was gone, it would indeed be difficult for Ji Bingyan alone to keep the civil and military officials in check.

But things changed with Jia Daoshi.

Even if she's gone in the future, with Jia Daoshi around, the situation can be stabilized!

There's no need to worry about Ji Bingyan losing the throne.

As for his previous actions, they were all just a ploy to lure people in.

Because the waters of the imperial court are so murky, it would be difficult for her to lure out those people hiding in the shadows without using some tricks.

"Your Majesty, what about the eldest prince and the others?"

Ji Bingyan thought for a moment and couldn't help but think of the eldest prince, Wu Ce.

If she inherits the throne, what will happen to the eldest prince?

In fact, she and the eldest prince, Wu Ce, had always had a good relationship, so it was inevitable that she would feel conflicted at this moment.

Moreover, Wu Ce was ambushed by an assassin because of this incident, resulting in the loss of one of his hands, which was already very cruel to him.

Ji Wuxin sighed: "This is what I owe him. Let him go to Donghai County to enjoy his life, or let him do as he pleases. I have only one request: no matter what, you must ensure the safety of your elder brother's family. If possible, heal his hand."

“Okay, Bingyan understands.” Ji Bingyan nodded.

Even if Ji Wuxin hadn't said it, Ji Bingyan would have done it anyway.

After the two finished speaking, Jia Daoshi, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I have a question in my mind. I wonder if Your Majesty could help me resolve it?"

"Oh? If Jia Tisi has any questions, then why don't you tell me?" Ji Wuxin looked at Jia Daoshi with a playful expression on his face.

The fact that Jia Daoshi was puzzled gave Ji Wuxin a little bit of pride.

Seeing that Ji Wuxin was thoroughly annoyed, Jia Daoshi didn't beat around the bush and directly asked the question on his mind: "Your Majesty, just now in court, who is the person the Ninth Prince and the High Priest mentioned who is underground? Why did the Ninth Prince give up resisting as soon as that person was mentioned?"

"Furthermore, what exactly did you accomplish that the late emperor failed to do?"

Just now in the imperial court, Jia Daoshi killed the Eighth Prince Wu Qingfeng.

When Jia Daoshi killed Wu Qingfeng, he sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Wu Qingye!

This aura is even stronger than that of the Eighth Prince!

From this, we can see that Wu Qingye is also an extremely powerful expert!

What could possibly make such a powerful expert give up so easily?

Even the Fifth Prince was able to escape with ease!

With Lao Jiu's abilities and previous planning and schemes, he wouldn't just accept his fate like this, would he?

And all of this happened after the high priest uttered those words.

So, who exactly is that one underground?

This made Jia Daoshi curious.

"You'll find out when you come with me."

"This is the biggest secret of the Great Jing Dynasty, and even of our Central Plains."

After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Ji Wuxin did not beat around the bush, but turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

Jia Daoshi and Ji Bingyan exchanged a glance, and then Jia Daoshi followed behind Ji Wuxin.

The three walked towards the inner palace, eventually arriving at the most secluded palace. Ji Wuxin went to the study inside and pressed a mechanism, opening a deep, dark passage.

This passage seems to lead underground, with no end in sight. The sides of the passage are inlaid with glowing blue stones, illuminating the passage.

Ji Wuxin was the first to enter.

Jia Daoshi and Ji Bingyan were shocked to find such a place hidden in the palace.

When you reach the end, a huge and magnificent underground palace appears!

The buildings here are complete replicas of the palace on the ground!

Moreover, there is an underground river that flows slowly through the middle of the palace!

The scene was absolutely stunning!

Ji Wuxin followed the river upstream until she arrived at a tall stone platform!

When Jia Daoshi's gaze fell on the stone platform, he finally understood what the high priest meant by "that person"!
