Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

at noon,

When Ye Fan was having dinner with Liu Mengying, Ning Zimo happened to be there too.

"Ye Fan, you better be careful recently... Because of the magical conch incident you caused at the palace banquet, many people want you to shut up forever..."

"Of course, there are people who want you to speak, but I'm afraid they can only do so after you die!"

Ning Zimo looked at Ye Fan who was eating with big mouthfuls, and was somewhat speechless.

"Let's talk after we die? How can people talk after they die?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengying couldn't help but look at Ning Zimo curiously, while Ye Fan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Is it a frame-up?!"

Liu Mengying paused for a moment and then understood.

"Ok!"

Ning Zimo nodded, "Ye Fan, you are also an investigator of the theft of the royal treasury a hundred years ago. In addition, you did not publicly disclose what the magic conch said before. People who think you are suspicious may try to silence you. Of course, there are also people who want to silence you and then leave a 'suicide note' of yours, saying what the magic conch said, and use it to attack others..."

Ning Zimo felt helpless. The "magic conch" that Ye Fan had created to protect him had now become his death warrant...

"This capital city is really full of undercurrents~ so annoying~"

Ye Fan was a little depressed.

"Zi Mo, you came here at dinner time, weren't you just reminding me to be careful recently?"

After a pause, Ye Fan spoke again.

"Are you free this afternoon? I want you to go with me into the royal treasury of the palace!"

"Now that I've been ordered to investigate, I plan to go and take a look!"

"By the way, this token is for you. It is a pass to the palace. It only leads to the royal treasury. You cannot go anywhere else, especially not to your majesty's harem!"

When Ning Zimo spoke to Ye Fan, he also handed him a golden token.

"can!"

Ye Fan nodded, feeling quite happy.

Because he really wanted to know whether the things that Qianshou Luosha took from the Mingyuan Royal Family's treasury were the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book and the Mysterious Talisman Secret Record in his Naxuan Ring... Even though he and Liu Ran had both inferred that this was the case...

..........

After lunch, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and Ning Zimo went to the palace.

Tianzhuan Academy,

A quaint room.

Xiao Yuanshan, one of the eight vice presidents of Mingyuan College, was looking through a large stack of information, among which the portraits of Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were quite eye-catching. There was also a necklace and a jade pendant on the table in front of him.

If Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were present, they would certainly be quite surprised, because the necklace and jade pendant on the table in front of Xiao Yuanshan were exactly what they had pawned at the pawn shop not long ago...

Xiao Yuanshan flipped through the documents in his hand, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter...

..........

"By the way, Zimo, let me tell you something!"

While walking on the road, Ye Fan spoke to Ning Zimo hesitantly.

"What's the matter? Tell me. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Ning Zimo looked like someone who was easy to talk to.

"Zi Mo, if I make any noise in the palace...will it affect you...cause you to be arrested, or even beheaded!"

Ye Fan looked at Ning Zimo seriously.

"Ye Fan...what kind of noise did you make in the palace...what do you want to do?"

Ning Zimo, who was walking happily, stopped immediately when he heard this.

"That... During the celebration banquet at the Linde Palace, I went to a palace that was extremely cold and looked like a haunted house... It was there that I met the mysterious woman who almost killed me... I want to go and see her again!"

Ye Fan did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.

"Ye Fan, that mysterious woman you mentioned... the unusually cold woman, the haunted house... were you encountered in a desolate place?"

Ning Zimo frowned tightly, "Ye Fan, you didn't mention anything about the palace last time, please be more specific!"

"Oh, I don't know much about that place, I just know it is..."

Ye Fan quickly described the palace that the pointer of the Dragon Vein Book had pointed to.

"Oh my god, it really is..."

After listening to Ye Fan's explanation, Ning Zimo couldn't help but exclaimed. She looked around and whispered, "Ye Fan, if I'm not mistaken, you ran to the emperor's harem, or to be more precise, the cold palace... You are such a fast runner, the cold palace is so far from the Linde Palace, and there are many guards on the way..."

"The cold palace... No wonder it's so cold!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter. With his physical fitness, he felt very cold. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been frozen to death long ago.

"Ye Fan...from your description...the mysterious woman you met is the Su Fei Su Qingying I mentioned to you before..."

After a pause, Ning Zimo spoke again, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for many years... I don't know how she is doing..."

"Wait... Ye Fan, you mentioned before that the mysterious woman had a 'good figure', was 'very beautiful', and had a 'scar on her chest'... Ye Fan, what did you do to Su Fei!"

Ning Zimo grabbed Ye Fan's shoulders, his eyes widened.

"I didn't do anything... In fact, I still don't understand what happened at that time. I stepped out and fell into a pool, and then the mysterious woman hit me..."

"If I didn't have some skills, I would have died long ago!"

Ye Fan scratched his head and continued, "Zi Mo, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"If you take the gold medal I just gave you and run to the emperor's harem...even if you are not beheaded, you will at least become a eunuch...I will probably be charged with negligence, and if I put all the blame on you...you should be dismissed from your post and investigated..."

At this point, Ning Zimo paused, "Of course, if no one found out about you running to the harem, and the concubine you met didn't tell anyone, then that's another matter!"

"Oh, all right!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well you ghost!"

Ning Zimo rolled her eyes at Ye Fan in annoyance, "I haven't finished yet, I was just talking about the Emperor's harem... If you go to the cold palace, you will definitely be taken away and tortured... No one will be able to save you..."

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Fan was a little confused, "Aren't all the concubines in the cold palace disfavored by the emperor? How can going to the cold palace be more serious than going to the harem?!"

"I do not know either!"

Ning Zimo sighed slightly, "The cold palace in the palace is almost a taboo. No one is allowed to go there without the Emperor's order... The cold palace is something that princes and ministers avoid talking about, and the concubines and maids in the harem are extremely afraid of. Although the cold palace is very large, comparable to the Queen's palace, it is extremely cold all year round, there is no heating, and it is often haunted... Among those who were sent to the cold palace, the only one who survived for more than a month was Concubine Su..."
