Hearing this, the black-robed King Quan said, “The people in Evernight City will do their best to find the whereabouts of the little beggar before Bai Muliang.”

After receiving this approving response, A Bao quietly examined the emperor's uncle's expression.

His brows were still furrowed, and he looked very worried.

With a thoughtful look, A Bao suggested: "Let's go back to the other courtyard first and discuss it from a long-term perspective."

The group set off again. As the night deepened, the snow fell heavier.

As the wind blew, the chill seeped into the bones, making Abao shiver with cold.

On the way back to the villa, the carriage happened to be closer to Mount Lop Nur.

Wanwan asked: "Madam, what are you looking at?"

"That Mount Lop Nur." After saying that, A Bao looked towards the distance covered by the dark sky.

As the night deepened, the silhouette of Mount Lop Nur became majestic yet blurry.

Wanwan also came to the carriage window and looked at it curiously, but after blinking, she was still confused: "Madam, is that mountain particularly special? The magic formation on Luobu Mountain has dissipated for a hundred years. Now it is just an ordinary snow mountain in the northern border."

Hearing this, A Bao whispered, "There are so many secret rooms in Xuanyuan Imperial City, why did Queen Qi Jiang choose the northern border, which is thousands of miles away and full of wars, to set up a magic circle and hide a longevity candle bead with so much trouble?"

"It's weird everywhere." Wanwan commented seriously: "There are so many secret rooms in Xuanyuan Imperial City, and each one is very difficult to unlock!"

After saying this, Wan Wan glanced at her wife guiltily. Realizing that she was not paying attention to what she said, Wan Wan quickly changed the subject: "Madam, do you mean that what Queen Qi Jiang did was meant to be a hint?"

"After all, it's not to show off her formation skills to the world." A Bao took the hot tea handed to her by her uncle and said, "Before leaving, I met His Majesty."

Since the matter involved the Daqi Empire, the old emperor was very straightforward.

He told her directly a royal secret.

It is said that in those days, Emperor Xianling, who was obsessed with cultivating immortals, built a treasure ship and sailed out to sea, not to pursue the Penglai Island as rumored, but to destroy the "Yu Zhi Lu" which recorded various medical secrets, the stone statue of Qi Jiang which contained secret pages of gold foil, and the bronze coffin.

But Abao remembered that there was a poem about longevity engraved on the stone statue of Qi Jiang.

Emperor Xianling, who was obsessed with cultivating immortals, actually gave up on immortality?

At that time, the old emperor was also extremely puzzled, and only said: Unless, for Emperor Xianling, there is something more important than the temptation of immortality.

Then, A Bao heard the old emperor mention that there was a secret room under the dragon throne in the Xuanshi Hall, which contained many secret scrolls written by Emperor Xuanyuan.

The old emperor used this to negotiate business with her.

If she agreed to depose the current Lord of the East Palace, King Feng Ran, and replace him with Zhao Chuance, he could consider telling her the solution to the mechanism lock.

After she flatly refused, she worked for five or six hours in front of the old emperor to open the secret room without sleep.

And invited the old emperor to explore the secrets of the ancestors together.

"A thousand years ago, Empress Qi Jiang had no intention of everlasting life. The candle beads were just a challenge for her to delve into more advanced medical secrets."

"Later, the candle beads were truly refined, and Queen Qi Jiang personally preserved the method, hoping that she and Emperor Qi's descendants would see it."

As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Northern Frontier Villa.

Ah Bao, who was leaning against the carriage window, was shocked to find that "this courtyard is only separated from the Qin Palace by a wall?"

She looked at her black-robed uncle in surprise, but it was the first time she heard him say that he was a little embarrassed to speak. She hesitated again and again, "When you travel around, if you are willing, you can build the Qin Palace. But... if by then, you hate me so much that you don't even want to get close to the Qin Palace, then this villa is an alternative."

"And it's right next to the Prince of Qin's Palace. It's my selfish desire." At least, he could send guards from the Prince of Qin's Palace to provide nearby protection.

At this time, she jumped off the carriage, passed the gate of the villa, and stopped at the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion.

The glass lamps suddenly lit up one after another.

The young snow eagles raised in the backyard of the Prince of Qin's mansion flapped their wings in the wind and snow, and circled affectionately around the black-robed King.

"Uncle!" A Bao turned around and took out a wooden box from the carriage.
