After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Chapter 135: Yun Jingxi searches for clues to the treasure, Cangzhou becomes the key

Yun Kaizhou turned sideways and looked at Feng Qiongzhu not far away.

She was wearing a moon-white dress, looking as graceful as a fairy from the Moon Palace.

He couldn't help but joked: "Oh, this beauty is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated!"

Feng Qiongzhu held a fan in her hand and fanned herself gently, with a delicate hairpin inserted diagonally on her head. The most eye-catching thing was the twisted wire carved hollow bracelet on her wrist.

Yun Kaizhou carefully examined the jewelry on her body and asked curiously, "Are the jewelry new? They are quite special."

Feng Qiongzhu smiled and replied, "Of course. These jewels look gorgeous, but they actually hide murderous intent. When they are not moving, they are just decorative ornaments. Once needed, they can turn into deadly weapons."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already grasped the hairpin on her head in her hand, and in a few steps she had quietly moved to An Qing's side. The hairpin in her hand was tightly pressed against the vital point on his neck, making him dare not move.

An Qing was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. He begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "Miss..., I didn't recognize the great man. Please have mercy on me. My life is still useful. Don't take it away easily."

Seeing this, Yun Kaizhou couldn't help but applaud and praise: "I really didn't expect that your martial arts have improved again. At such a long distance, you were able to control An Qing so quickly, how did you do it?"

Feng Qiongzhu smiled lightly upon hearing this, then let go of An Qing and found a stool to sit down opposite Yun Kaizhou.

She took the teacup handed to her by Yun Kaizhou, took a sip, and said leisurely, "Ever since I witnessed An Qing's lightning-fast swordsmanship on the way back to Cangzhou last time, I have made up my mind not to be outdone by him. So when I practice martial arts every day, I pay special attention to improving my speed. I didn't expect that I would succeed. Look, this fast swordsman who is famous for his speed has now been easily defeated by me."

After hearing this, Yun Kaizhou smiled and waved his hand: "The reason why An Qing didn't resist is because he knew it was only you, and he didn't dare to attack you."

"Oh, An Qing is so powerful?"

"Why do you think I take him with me everywhere? I rely on him to protect my safety. If he is useless, why would I keep him around?"

Feng Qiongzhu nodded slightly when she heard this and said, "In that case, since he is so useful, I will keep him."

An Qing hurriedly bowed deeply to Feng Qiongzhu: "Thank you, young lady, for your magnanimity and for letting bygones be bygones."

Then, Feng Qiongzhu turned to An Qing and asked curiously, "What news did you just tell me about the capital? Tell me about it too."

Seeing that she was also interested, An Qing couldn't help but want to share the gossip about Huang with her.

"Miss, let me tell you, I just received news from Shangjing City. Yesterday, the emperor couldn't help but eat the golden elixir, and spent an extremely unforgettable Qixi Festival with the queen. The effect of your golden elixir is really amazing. The emperor actually had sex with two women more than ten times in one night, and in the end he even had to summon the imperial physician to treat him."

After hearing this, Feng Qiongzhu couldn't help but burst into laughter, appearing extremely happy.

An Qing asked in disbelief: "Girl, is the effect of this golden elixir really so significant? Isn't this too unbelievable?"

Feng Qiongzhu glanced at him and replied calmly: "Of course it is so powerful. After the emperor takes the golden elixir, if he indulges in women, his body will quickly decay, thus accelerating his death. On the contrary, if he can control himself, he may be able to live longer."

Feng Qiongzhu continued, "I will definitely continue to ask the Taoist priest to refine the golden elixir in the future, but the effect will also decrease. Although it can stimulate people's desire and physical strength for a short time, long-term use will definitely lead to physical weakness, mental confusion, and even possible death. This is why I deliberately added some special ingredients to the elixir, so that the emperor can taste the sweetness in a short period of time without dying immediately."

Yun Kaizhou was listening to them talking about this, his mouth twitching, and he hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Anqing, why don't you go and do your own thing."

As soon as An Qing saw his master's expression, he quickly put away his gossipy thoughts and left.

……

Deep inside the palace.

After a night of hard work and a day of rest, Yun Jingxi finally felt a little more energetic.

Then he summoned the secret guards around him.

"Have there been any new discoveries regarding that batch of treasures?" Yun Jingxi's voice revealed a hint of urgency.

The man in black knelt on the ground respectfully and answered, "Your Majesty, there is news from Cangzhou that Feng Tingjing's first wife's daughter is still alive. Our spies found that this woman seems to be involved with Prince Duan. Someone once saw Prince Duan having sex with a woman in an inn. Whether the time Prince Duan stayed in the Hengtian Mountain Taoist temple was related to the treasure remains to be verified."

Yun Jingxi frowned upon hearing this, and his voice revealed a bit of displeasure: "Why do the people from Prince Duan's Mansion always haunt us? That Yun Kaizhou is also very tough, and we have failed many times. Has his body really recovered?"

The man in black bowed his head and replied, "It is certain, Your Majesty. Eunuch Gao has seen Prince Duan with his own eyes. Now he has gone to Cangzhou with Taoist Master Qingxuan and is temporarily staying in Xiao Mansion."

"Oh? Taoist Qingxuan also went to Cangzhou?" Yun Jingxi's tone revealed a bit of surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Taoist Qingxuan and Prince Duan are now living in the Xiao Mansion." The man in black replied.

Yun Jingxi recalled that he was able to recover with the help of the golden elixir, and felt grateful to Taoist Qingxuan.

He sat on the dragon chair with a deep gaze, as if thinking about something.

He knew that finding the treasure was not an easy task, especially now that people like Prince Duan's Mansion and Prime Minister Liu had gotten involved, which made it even more difficult for him.

But the temptation of the treasure was too great, he could not give up, nor could he let anyone get there first.

He closed his eyes, and the late emperor's last words emerged in his mind, telling him to find the treasure at all costs.

It is said that countless treasures in the national treasury were transferred by the princess. These treasures are enough to drive anyone crazy.

As an emperor, he was naturally no exception.

Cangzhou, a place that was originally insignificant in his mind, has now become crucial because of these clues.

He thought of the Xiao Mansion that the hidden guard had just mentioned, as well as the Prince Duan Yun Kaizhou and Taoist Qingxuan who lived there, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart.

What on earth were they doing in Cangzhou? Were they also looking for the treasure?

Yun Jingxi continued to instruct, “Go to Cangzhou and investigate, and focus on the Xiao Mansion.”

"Your Majesty, we have been monitoring Feng Tingjing for a long time, but we have found nothing. Perhaps he really knows nothing about the treasure. Do we need to continue monitoring him? I just received a pigeon message. Last night Feng Tingjing invited Prince Duan to go to the brothel to watch the Oiran competition. Prince Duan even spent 100,000 taels to buy the Oiran and gave it to Feng Tingjing, but Feng Tingjing refused and fled the brothel."
