Yang Xuan unsealed the pressure points of the other palace maids and eunuchs. After watching them help Chen Qian put on the dragon robe, he sighed, "I always thought that the Emperor was lazy and did not want to wear his own clothes. Now it seems that this dragon robe cannot be worn by one person."
Hearing this, Chen Qian said, "That's right. When have I ever wanted someone to watch me when I go to the toilet? I have no choice. "
Facing the threat of death, Chen Qian still spoke frankly and without a trace of panic. Yang Xuan was deeply impressed by his ability to remain calm.
He even guessed that Chen Qian might be an outsider.
There was a commotion outside the door. The first to arrive was not the person who delivered the mirrors, but the cabinet secretary, Liu Zhengyuan.
Liu Zhengyuan stood outside the door and said in a low, muffled voice, "Liu Zhengyuan requests an audience."
Chen Qian said without hesitation, "You may leave. If there is anything, report it later."
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengyuan pushed the door open and entered without looking at anyone else. He knelt in front of Chen Qian and said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to gather all the mirrors in the palace. May I know why?"
He was the Emperor's tutor and had the right and duty to teach the Emperor. He was also given the right to enter the inner palace by Chen Qian. Therefore, even if he was rude and even suspected of defying the edict, Chen Qian could not do anything to him.
"You do not need to care about this. Leave immediately!" Chen Qian glanced at Yang Xuan and then pretended to be angry.
Liu Zhengyuan did not move and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I once heard that there was an ancient Emperor Stone of Curiosity. I ordered people to gather all the stones in the world and the inner palace. For a time, the people were all searching for the stones in vain to win the Emperor's smile and reach the heavens in one step. This caused the fields to be barren and the people to have no way to make a living. Does Your Majesty want to imitate this Emperor? "
These words were extremely rude and were equivalent to a direct reprimand.
Chen Qian smiled bitterly and glanced at Yang Xuan. "I have my difficulties and it is not a good mirror. I will explain later. You may leave first."
This time, Liu Zhengyuan finally realized that something was wrong. He tilted his head slightly and followed Chen Qian's gaze to see Yang Xuan standing at the side.
After secretly glancing at Yang Xuan a few times, his expression changed slightly. As his eyes flashed, he suddenly kowtowed to Chen Qian and said, "Since Your Majesty knows the past, then this subject is at ease. This subject was reckless. This subject will leave now."
After saying that, he kowtowed again and stood up, intending to leave.
Yang Xuan sighed. These people were really shrewd. They had already made up their minds when they sensed something was wrong.
Liu Zhengyuan noticed that there was another Yang Xuan in the room. After realizing that something was wrong, he did not ask, "Who are you?" What a bunch of nonsense. Instead, he pretended that he didn't notice anything amiss and was prepared to mobilize the experts of the Imperial Palace to save Chen Qian after retreating.
With a flick of his finger, Liu Zhengyuan was rooted to the spot. At this moment, he knew that his intentions had been discovered. He was instantly enraged. "How dare you, thief! Are you not afraid that your entire family will be executed?"
Yang Xuan smiled. "Don't be impatient. I am only looking for something. Once I find it, I will leave immediately. As long as you cooperate, no one will be harmed."
Just as Liu Zhengyuan was about to berate him again, someone reported from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, all the mirrors in the palace have been gathered. However, because there are too many of them, we can only place them in the courtyard."
Chen Qian looked at Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan nodded slightly.
Chen Qian saw this and said, "Then place them in the courtyard."
"As you command!"
The person replied. Not long after, there was a commotion in the courtyard. Palace maids and eunuchs carried the mirrors in one after another.
Liu Zhengyuan continued to glare angrily at Yang Xuan but did not dare to make a sound.
He was afraid that Yang Xuan would take the risk and harm Chen Qian. If that happened, he would become a sinner for all eternity.
After a while, someone reported from outside the door, "Your Majesty, all the mirrors in the palace have been gathered. Your Majesty, please give your orders!"
Chen Qian said, "All of you, leave. Without an order, no one is allowed to enter."
"As you command!"
Footsteps were heard. After a while, there was only a pile of mirrors left in the courtyard outside the bedchamber.
Yang Xuan unsealed Liu Zhengyuan's acupoints and walked out first.
Liu Zhengyuan looked at Chen Qian. Chen Qian shook his head slightly and followed him out.
Liu Zhengyuan had no choice but to follow Chen Qian out.
Seeing that the Emperor had left, the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to stay in the room and followed him out.
When they walked into the courtyard, they saw Yang Xuan staring blankly at a large pile of mirrors.
There were too many mirrors. There were at least a thousand of them.
There were so many mirrors piled together that it formed a small mountain. Where would they start looking?
However, there was nothing they could do. They could only look at them one by one.
Fortunately, he was a martial arts expert and was not slow. Even if he looked at them one by one, it would not take long.
Therefore, Chen Qian, Liu Zhenghe, and the palace maids and eunuchs watched Yang Xuan pick up the mirrors one by one and throw them aside. They did not know what he was doing.
When he found about six hundred mirrors, Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. His gaze fell on an ordinary bronze mirror in his hand.
Found it!
When the bronze mirror was in his hand, the strange aura that came from it made Yang Xuan immediately certain that this was the Eye of Insight he was looking for.
It went well! A smile appeared on Yang Xuan's face.
Yang Xuan grabbed the mirror and turned to Chen Qian. "Thank you. Farewell!"
"Found it?"
Chen Qian and Liu Zhenghe sighed in relief at the same time. It was just a mirror. Even if it was a dead treasure, it did not matter. As long as Yang Xuan did not want to kill them, everything was negotiable.
Yang Xuan nodded. He was unwilling to say more. Just as he was about to leave, a palace maid standing behind Chen Qian suddenly took a few steps forward.
"I only knew that the Eye of Insight was in the palace, but I did not know that it was an ordinary mirror. It is a pity that I wasted so much time."
Chen Qian and Liu Zhenghe looked at her in surprise. This palace maid had been in the palace for many years and was considered a veteran. Why would she say such a thing at this time?
Yang Xuan's gaze fell on her. There was a strange look in his eyes.
He did not expect this palace maid to be an outsider.
"How did you know that the Eye of Insight was in the palace?" Yang Xuan asked with narrowed eyes.
Only those who had the token would receive a hint. This had been explained long ago. So how did this palace maid know?
"You haven't killed anyone, have you?"
The palace maid chuckled, but she looked like a burly man. "As long as you kill one person, you will get a hint. I killed five people before I finally got a hint from the palace."
Then she seemed to think of something. Her expression changed drastically. "No, you, you have the token?"
Chen Qian and Liu Zhenghe looked at the two of them in shock. They did not understand what they were talking about.
The palace maid's expression changed. After a while, she sneered again. "So what if you have the token? Now I will give you a choice. Leave the mirror and I will let you go. Otherwise, you will be defeated. "
Yang Xuan looked at her with a faint smile. "You are so confident that you can keep me here?"
The palace maid sneered. "Do you think you are the only one who knows some martial arts? I have already mastered the Plain Girl Heart Sutra half a year ago. Killing you will only take the blink of an eye. "
Chen Qian's expression was indescribably strange when he saw this delicate palace maid calling him "old man".
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
