The emperor looked at the beautiful handwriting on the letter.

"I had a dream. I dreamt that three stars connected together and turned into a sharp arrow, shooting right at my brother's chest! I woke up in a cold sweat and was terrified. I don't know what this dream means, but my brother, please be careful!"

The emperor raised his head from the letter paper and looked at Song Yanzhou who was kneeling before him.

Song Yanzhou was still injured, and his face was pale, but the young man's face was full of confidence and calmness.

"You said that you really found the pearl during your trip to the East China Sea?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Song Yanzhou took out a piece of simple coarse cloth from his arms.

There was something bulging wrapped in the coarse cloth.

Everything the emperor saw and used in his daily life was extremely exquisite, so he was too lazy to even look at such coarse cloth.

He couldn't help but frown. If it was really a treasure, how could it be wrapped casually with such crude cloth?

But when Song Yanzhou slowly opened the piece of coarse cloth, the emperor couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at her.

Song Yanzhou raised his hands above his head. On the piece of coarse cloth he was holding up, there was a gem the size of a pigeon egg.

The beads were glowing with a dreamy purple luster, but when the emperor stood up slightly and looked again, the purple luster had turned into the color of gold.

The emperor quickly closed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, but when he looked again, he found that the beads had different luster at different angles.

The pearls are round and smooth, with charming luster.

Even the ugly coarse cloth looked extremely precious under the luster of the gem.

"Present, present it!" the emperor waved his hand.

The eunuch beside him hurried forward.

"Be careful!" the emperor exclaimed.

The eunuch was even more cautious, as the thing he was holding was probably more valuable than his life... no, it was much more valuable.

The emperor took the pearl. The moment he held it in his hand, he felt a warm feeling and a power transmitted from the palm of his hand to his heart.

He was shocked all over, as if he suddenly experienced the energetic feeling of his youth again.

"Great! What a great treasure!" the emperor was delighted.

Better than he expected!

Song Yanzhou came to the palace to ask for an audience and said that the emperor had doubts when General Song told him in a dream to go to the East China Sea to look for pearls.

Although he had doubts, the "Night Pearl" was a hurdle that he could not get over.

The less known it was, the more he cared about it.

It is better to make a mistake than to miss this opportunity - the emperor summoned Song Yanzhou to go, and asked him to go secretly, and put the Song family under house arrest.

If he doesn't come back, or has other intentions, everyone in the Song family will be buried with him.

Unexpectedly, Song Yanzhou did not disappoint him, but made him overjoyed!

This pearl is more beautiful, bigger and more dazzling than his dull night-shining pearl.

"I wrapped the pearl in such coarse cloth and presented it to the emperor. It was not my fault, but... somehow the news leaked out and I was attacked on the way. I almost lost my life."

Song Yanzhou explained, "I think that even if I die, this pearl must not fall into the hands of others."

The emperor held the pearl in his hands lovingly, but his eyes fell back on Song Mingli's letter.

He asked the eunuch to hand the letter to Song Yanzhou, "Take a look, what does your sister's dream mean?"

Song Yanzhou was stunned and took the letter with both hands. The letter was very short, but his expression changed several times.

He put down the letter, kowtowed quickly, and dared not speak.

"Do you understand?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"I dare not make random guesses..."

"Guess!" said the emperor. "You are innocent."

"I... suspect that it was the Third Prince's men who ambushed me on the way." Song Yanzhou said in a deep voice, "I fought with them, and they were all deadly warriors. Judging from their kung fu, these people are from the palace."

Upon hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes immediately.

"If he came from the Imperial Palace, he could be the Crown Prince, or the Second Prince. Why do you only suspect the Third Prince?"

Song Yanzhou frowned, and after a long while he uttered, "Intuition... I have always had this suspicion, and after seeing my little sister's letter, I believe this intuition even more firmly."

As he finished speaking, all the color drained from his face, making him look even paler.

He even dared to tell the emperor based on his intuitive guess... He really is courting his life.

The eunuch standing by also took a deep breath, looked at him with regret, and shook his head slightly.

He was a good young man, and I thought he would have a bright future by offering his treasure...

Who knew he was so honest? He could have just made up a better excuse!

"Hahahaha..." The emperor suddenly laughed, "Get up, I've already said I'll forgive you, how can I go back on my word?"

The emperor waved his hand and asked the eunuchs serving in the palace to leave.

These eunuchs are the emperor's confidants.

The emperor didn't even hide what he said just now from them, but now he asked them to leave.

Song Yanzhou stood up tremblingly, not because of fear, but because of pain.

He still had injuries on his body.

"Come here." The emperor waved to him and asked him to come forward.

Song Yanzhou was slightly stunned. He was a martial artist, how could he be so close to the emperor?

The emperor smiled and looked at him, "Come here."

Song Yanzhou swallowed his saliva and moved closer nervously. There were still five steps left, and he didn't dare to go any further.

The emperor smiled and pointed at the brocade box prepared beside him, "Why don't you come and take it? Do you want me to hand it to you personally?"

"I dare not!" Song Yanzhou hurriedly stepped forward, took the brocade box with both hands, and then quickly took a few steps back.

"Open it and take a look." the emperor ordered.

Song Yanzhou opened the brocade box... In just a short moment, many possibilities flashed through his mind, even poisoned wine and dagger came to mind.

But he didn't expect that inside the brocade box was a set of black embroidered clothes, half a tiger talisman, and a staff.

Song Yanzhou looked up in surprise.

"My sons have grown up, and there are many military generals in the court who are proud of their achievements, and civil officials who play political games." The emperor said slowly, "The art of being an emperor is to not sit in a high position while being blindfolded."

"The Embroidered Uniform Envoy is an organization I secretly established. It is different from the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army is my personal soldiers and my sword. The Embroidered Uniform Envoy is my eyes and my ears."

"The embroidered robe envoy is directly under my command and secretly monitors all officials. If the situation is urgent, you can take out the staff and kill first and report later! Seeing the staff is like seeing me! If you put the two halves of the tiger talisman together, you can directly mobilize 50,000 troops!"

Song Yanzhou didn't expect... that his sister was right!

He took the risk to get the pearl and won the emperor's trust!

"But the Embroidered Uniform Envoy is a secret organization. I'm afraid you will never have the same fame and honor as your father in your lifetime." The emperor looked at Song Yanzhou with a smile.

Song Yanzhou kowtowed quickly, "The Song family only wishes to be loyal to Your Majesty. As long as we can serve Your Majesty, it will be the honor of the Song family!"

So what if I could be in my father’s position?

Isn't it because the emperor is afraid of him and he is framed by villains?

Compared to such reputation, Song Yanzhou hopes that he can protect his family's safety!

The emperor was pleased with his prompt response and threw him an envelope.

The words on the envelope were in a foreign language, but the handwriting looked familiar.

Song Yanzhou suspiciously opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and looked at it. He was shocked, "Impossible! Father can't be collaborating with the enemy! He never had the intention of rebellion! This is a frame-up!"

"Someone else copied my father's handwriting!"

The emperor looked at him and smiled. "Guess why I gave you this letter?"
