The ninth princess was a pitiful person. Because her mother was a servant girl, she was forced to bed by the emperor.
After getting her, the emperor didn't give her a status. He didn't even take a look at her when she got pregnant.
This made her suffer in the harem, a place that ate people without spitting out their bones. Finally, after ten months, the ninth princess was born.
But no one reported the news to the emperor. The young child had to live a hard life with her mother.
If it wasn't for Duanmu Yulin's help, the ninth princess might not have existed.
After the emperor found out about her, he gave her the name Yu Die and didn't leave the small, dilapidated courtyard.
Perhaps the emperor felt guilty, so he agreed to her request. He ordered people to rebuild the place and turned it into the ninth princess's bedchamber.
Don't underestimate it. There was a secret hidden underground.
This was also the news that Xunmi found after reading the letter and combining it with the information in the plot.
The ninth princess's mother had died long ago. She didn't have any good feelings toward the imperial family. Her only relative was Duanmu Yulin, her imperial uncle.
After knowing what happened to her imperial uncle, she hated the person on the throne even more and offered to help him.
Although her temperament was a little girly and she was easily shy, at least she was smart.
They had collected a lot of evidence about the movements in the imperial palace and the dirty things that person had done.
As long as they found the last thing, they would start to act. But that thing was never found.
Xunmi touched her chin. Could the thing that her husband mentioned be related to the dog emperor's insistence on eliminating the Marquis Estate?
If that was the case, didn't it mean that the thing was originally in her father's hands?
It seemed that she had to go back.
Xunmi didn't like to delay things. That night, she left the imperial palace under the cover of the night.
Duanmu Yulin finished his business and appeared outside Xunmi's bedchamber. He quietly climbed in through the window, wanting to see the person he had missed for a long time.
But when he saw the empty bed, he was stunned. Didn't they say that she lived here? Where did she go?
He searched the entire room but still couldn't find any trace of her. Looking at the inverted door, his eyes darkened.
She must have gone out. The imperial palace was heavily guarded. He knew that she was skilled, but the imperial guards were not to be trifled with.
"Everyone go and find her. You must ensure her safety."
He clenched his fists and said coldly, "Xun 'er, nothing must happen to you. I won't be able to take it."
Xunmi, who was being thought of, was currently wandering around the sealed Marquis Zhong Fu. Based on her memory, she first went to the study, but as soon as she entered, her gaze turned cold.
The room was a mess. Books were scattered all over the floor, and things on the table were all over the place.
The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall had all been torn down. The secret compartment had been opened, and there were also traces of being pried open on the ground.
This was definitely not a thief, and for them to do this, they must have a purpose in coming here to find something.
Perhaps, her guess was not wrong.
He carefully walked in step by step. Looking at the messy scene in the room, he closed his eyes tightly.
After calming down his tumultuous emotions, he spread out his mental power and began to scan for places that had not been neglected.
She wasn't sure if those people had found anything, but she didn't think so.
Since the ground had been pried open, there must be nothing in the secret compartment that they wanted.
After searching every nook and cranny, XunMi didn't find any problems. XunMi turned to the bedroom.
It was as bad as the study. The floor in the study had been pried open, and the bed in the bedroom had been dismantled. Similarly, there was nothing.
Xunmi squatted at the door and fell into silence. If she were a father, where would she hide something?
The most dangerous place was the safest place. The study was definitely the most dangerous place, but it wasn't in the study.
Or could it be that the other party had already found the item?
'Baby, can there be any hints? What exactly is that thing, and where is it?'
Xunmi wandered to the main hall. There was still a black coffin there. Coupled with the white silk and white flowers hanging on it, it looked gloomy and cold in the night.
'Madam Host, this is a hidden mission. Good luck.'
Xunmi: "…" I forgot about that. _ (: 3ə∠) _
So what the f * ck is it? It can't be the Imperial Jade Seal, right?
Before Xunmi could continue thinking, she felt the barrier she had set up being touched. She quickly rushed to the palace.
It was so late. Who would look for her? Could it be Jiu Jiu?
Panting, she leaned against the open window and saw the person sitting inside. She looked up at the sky. Oh, she had forgotten about her husband. She shouldn't have done that.
"You're back." The three words were said very calmly, but Xunmi heard a sense of foreboding. Was it her imagination?
She jumped and sat opposite her husband. She placed her hand on her chest. "Yes, I suddenly remembered something, so I went home."
She grabbed the tea that her husband had poured for her and drank it. Her dry chest immediately felt relieved.
"Guess what? A lot of burglars broke into the house and tore up the floor. Ha …"
"They were really fast. But I don't think they found what they were looking for."
Xunmi spun the cup in her hand on the table. Her words were full of interest.
Duanmu Yulin frowned slightly. "This is very dangerous. Don't go alone next time. I'll be worried."
He told himself to endure it and not to say too much. But he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Eh (⊙ o ⊙) …" The hand that was spinning the cup paused. Then, she smiled. "(* ^ _ _ ^ *) Hehe … Okay, I'll ask you next time."
Her husband still cared about her. Look, he was so worried about such a small thing. Hehe.
But why didn't her husband confess? Why didn't he hug and kiss her?
Duanmu Yulin sighed helplessly. She was really his tribulation. The tribulation of beauty.
"Okay, ask me next time. It's late. Go to sleep."
The moon outside the window had already hidden behind the clouds. The light suddenly dimmed.
Xunmi couldn't see her husband's expression, but she still nodded obediently and prepared to go to sleep.
Just as she got up, an idea flashed through her mind. She exclaimed, "Ah, I know where it is."
"Yulin, quick. Let's go get it." Xunmi hurriedly pulled her husband's hand and ran out. She didn't care what time it was.
Duanmu Yulin's face was full of indulgence and pampering. Although he really wanted her to go to sleep, he couldn't say anything when he saw her excited appearance.
Xunmi thought that her father must have guessed what would happen. If he was holding something in his hand and knew that he might die, he would definitely hide it in a place that no one would expect.
And that place wasn't the study or the bedroom. It was a coffin.
Who the hell would pry open a coffin? After all, it represented an inauspicious thing. Some people probably wouldn't even take a second look at it.
She really had to praise her father for being so far-sighted. Brilliant.
Once they arrived at the Marquis Estate, Xunmi went straight to the coffin in the main hall. She had been here before. Why didn't she think of this?
"Yulin, you look over there. I'll look over here. The thing must be in the coffin."
