Touya Yaoyao

When Yu Yaoyao hung up the phone and looked at Bai Taoshi, Bai Taoshi was clearly a little guilty. The reason for his guilt was simple: he also knew that there were some things that Yu Yaoyao did not allow.

For example, he secretly took her phone, unlocked it to communicate with Wang Yao, and prepared to transfer money.

But there was one thing that puzzled him: Yu Yaoyao was clearly an adopted daughter of the Ye family, so how come she couldn't even come up with 5 billion? He had to transfer the money to Yu Yaoyao first, and then use Yu Yaoyao's phone to transfer the money to Wang Yao.

Is the Ye family really that poor?! They can't even afford to support her?! That can't be right. He remembers the Bai family gave the Ye family a lot of resources—hundreds, hundreds, or even trillions, of course. They can't possibly not even afford to support her!

Seeing Bai Taoshi's guilty look, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously changed her phone password. She thought that would be enough, but after thinking about it, she changed her payment password and fingerprint as well.

Because she didn't know what he was up to, or what he would do with her phone! If he found out things he shouldn't know, it wouldn't do her any good.

Feeling guilty, Bai Taoshi didn't dare to say much along the way, afraid of accidentally angering Yu Yaoyao. After changing the password, Yu Yaoyao continued to use the drone to survey the palace.

The palace was very large, and even with drones, it took several hours to survey it. During this time, Yu Yaoyao found a place to put the equipment.

Therefore, when Yu Yaoyao uploaded the things captured by the drone to the device for analysis one by one...

Shirato looked at her with a puzzled expression as she ate an apple while staring intently at the screen.

No, Yu Yaoyao, it's just investigating a case, why are you so nervous?! And you're eating while you're watching! If you're hungry, just say so! Do you think the palace will starve you?!

Just as Bai Taoshi was finding it unbelievable, Yu Yaoyao, who was busy at work, inexplicably closed the laptop in front of her.

She packed all her equipment and other belongings in one go, and then headed west of the castle without saying a word.

Her actions completely baffled Bai Taoshi. He had no idea what Yu Yaoyao was up to, or what she was trying to do!

What are you doing going to the west side of the palace?! There's nothing there, even His Majesty rarely goes there; it's practically a forbidden area. You're just a young lady who's entered the palace; it doesn't seem appropriate for you to go there so rashly!

Moreover, he remembered that there was nothing on the west side of the palace except for an ivory-white main building. What was she doing there?!

So why did Yu Yaoyao go to the west side of the palace? It was because the drone had captured some strange things on the west side of the palace, although Yu Yaoyao didn't know what they were! But she felt it would be better to go and see for herself.

Yu Yaoyao walked hurriedly, and Bai Taoshi, though puzzled, quickly followed. The two walked for about an hour before arriving at a villa on the west side of the palace.

According to drone footage, the castle has three main buildings and two auxiliary buildings on its east side, which is the Queen's residential area.

There are two main buildings and two auxiliary buildings on the south side, which are used to store books, items, and other miscellaneous things.

There are five main buildings and six auxiliary buildings to the north, which are the residential area for servants and subordinates. But to the west, there is only one building. Strangely, nothing can be found in this building.

Like a mystery, even when drones scanned it with radar, they couldn't detect anything.

It's important to know that the radar on the drone is capable of scanning even a bone dozens of meters underground, yet it couldn't detect anything in front of this building.

This is strange, so strange. So, she came to the villa, looked at the ivory gate, remained silent for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to push the door open.

Before her hand even touched the door, a mechanical female voice suddenly rang out, sounding both inquiring and inquiring. She spoke with practiced ease, offering her reminder:

"Name, age, place of origin, and purpose of your visit?"

The speaker was a small electronic screen next to the gate, about the size of a mirror. Yu Yaoyao was wondering who was speaking, but she only came to her senses when Bai Taoshi pulled her toward the electronic screen with a helpless expression.

As soon as she stood in front of the electronic screen, a blue light scanned her entire body, and then the previously closed door suddenly opened.

Although Yu Yaoyao was surprised, she still subconsciously glanced at the electronic screen. Then, a very strange name appeared on the screen, and then the name disappeared instantly.

Is it this advanced?! Face scan entry?! Although puzzled, she didn't say much, but walked into the house with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.

As soon as Yu Yaoyao entered the room, she saw a dense array of electronic screens. Some of these screens displayed scenes from the palace, some from unfamiliar places, and some from places she didn't even know.

At the center of these screens is a huge television screen, and in front of the television screen is an instrument that is hard to describe, somewhat like a control panel from a science fiction movie, or a huge spaceship pilot.

Yu Yaoyao hesitated for a long time before walking to the instrument. Before she could even start using it, the inexplicable blue light appeared again. After scanning Yu Yaoyao's full-body image, folders appeared on the screen.

These folders are mostly distinguished by their dates. The earliest folder dates back to the time when the first emperor of Zhao Kingdom ascended the throne, while the latest one dates back to this year.

But this is so strange! Why are there so many folders on this instrument?! What's inside these folders?! Why are they arranged in such a categorized way?! What exactly is inside them?!

Puzzled and curious, Yu Yaoyao opened the folder closest to her and discovered that the previously dark electronic screen above the instrument suddenly lit up and began playing some images.

This is a picture of Zhao Anping, the first emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, ascending the throne. Historical records state that Zhao Anping, the first emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, ascended the throne in an unknown town in the European region of the Zhao Kingdom.

Today, the town is called Anping Town, supposedly named in honor of the achievements of the first emperor in this area.

Anping Town is the starting point of the entire Zhao Kingdom, and also the place where the Zhao Kingdom began to treat the entire planet as a country. Here, the first emperor worked hard to govern, conquered all directions, and expanded the territory. When she was 28 years old, she conquered the entire European region.

The European region was the first territory she conquered, the starting point for her subsequent conquests, and the beginning of her emerging ambitions—all of which occurred after she ascended the throne.

Zhao Anping ascended the throne very early, on October 1, 223 BC, when she was only 18 years old.

You asked Yu Yaoyao why she was so sure, because that's exactly the time displayed on the electronic screen.

Unfortunately, this legendary emperor's coronation ceremony was certainly much simpler than those of his successors, even somewhat like a child's play.

But so what? She was the beginning of all emperors and the origin of the entire Zhao Kingdom royal family. Even if she was simple and ridiculous, no one dared to say anything.

Because she was only 18 years old and not yet married, Zhao Anping stood with her most trusted subordinates at her coronation ceremony.

Lin Yang, Ye Qingfeng, Hua Rouze, and Zheng Zhicheng.

These four were the most trusted generals of the first emperor, Zhao Anping, and the reason why she possessed this vast empire. In fact, it was precisely because of them that this vast territory was under the control of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family.

Yu Yaoyao had no idea what kind of ambition could drive a teenager to have the ambition to conquer the world, no, to conquer the globe.

All she knew was that Zhao Anping had succeeded, and the Zhao Kingdom had endured for thousands of years. This achievement was unprecedented and would never be repeated.

Well, to put it another way: To borrow a line from the TV series "Detective Dee":

I felt superior, I looked down on everything, the world was at my feet, the ministers were at my feet, and it seemed that all living beings were bowing and kneeling at my feet.

Perhaps she was lucky enough, or perhaps her subordinates were truly outstanding, or perhaps her ambition was strong enough, so much so that when she was forty years old, there was only one country left on this planet, the Zhao Kingdom.
